readx;? Judging from the latest reports of the border war, the Holy See's invasion of the Elven Forest is progressing rapidly, and a large area of the primeval forest has disappeared into their hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The direction of Higg is better, the commander's approach is more conservative, and the progress of the army is relatively slow, but the military and civilians in the direction of the Papal States are advancing extremely fast under the command of Gutesian, so the elven army in the south has fought many battles on the border and the army of the Papal States, especially the Pegasus knights and griffin knights almost every day, fighting for air supremacy, but the Holy See has prepared a large number of war equipment, with the help of heavy crossbows, the Pegasus knights can not take any advantage, but ground battles, with the help of the cover of the forest, archers and elven mages have brought great trouble to the Holy See, especially for those who lack protection and cut down treesAfter being killed and injured by bows and arrows and poisonous plants, they were afraid and did not dare to approach the Elven Forest easily, and the speed of the Holy See's military and civilian advance suddenly slowed down.

In command of the southern Papal forces was the Templar chief Gutesian. He was a man of extremely arrogant temperament, and in this world, he ignored no one except his master, the paladin Heywood Roland, and the sect emperor S. Hepburn. However, he did have some capital, he had been promoted to a senior swordsman before the age of twenty-three, and later became the youngest and most talented Templar in the history of the Holy See, and was even accepted as an apprentice by the paladin because of this, and personally instructed him in his martial arts cultivation, and he lived up to expectations, becoming the youngest great swordsman on the continent at the age of twenty-eight. At this time, just in time, the previous chief knight of the Templars abdicated due to age, and he was appointed as the chief knight, originally his age was not enough to serve the public, but because of the aura of the paladin's personal disciple, no one dared to have an opinion.

Soon after taking office, Gutsian commanded the war against Higg, the largest military operation launched by the Holy See in years, and he was both excited and nervous to be commander-in-chief. The beginning of the war progressed smoothly, which made him full of confidence, until he was stopped by the elite of Hig led by the dragon knight Graces under the city of Baden, and he couldn't attack it for a long time after a few days of hard fighting, which gave his confidence a blow for the first time, and then it was the paladin himself who killed Graces and his dragon, and the Holy See won a big victory.

However, this battle only made Gutsian realize his inadequacy in military command, and he was still full of confidence in his personal strength, until the great battle between him and the old man Hepburn at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.

The strong strength of the old man Hepburn made Gutsian, who was young and strong, find himself as the most talented martial artist in human beings, and he couldn't even beat an old man, you must know that swordsmen and magicians are different, magicians with the accumulation of knowledge, the depth of their understanding of magic, the older they are, the more powerful they are, but martial arts practitioners generally reach their peak between the ages of forty and fifty, and after the age of fifty, their physical fitness will go downhill, and their overall strength will gradually decline. Although the peak of performance will vary from person to person, there is no doubt that an old man in his sixties has the upper hand in terms of physical strength compared to a swordsman in his thirties. Later, if it weren't for the fact that Tees Hepburn appeared at the critical moment to attack the old man's grandson and divide the old man's god, a group of Templars with the cooperation of the cardinal might not have been able to stop even an old man, which caused Gutsian's confidence to be frustrated for the second time.

For this reason, when the opportunity came, Gutesian resolutely chose to go to the Cullen Mountains for training, continue to improve his strength, he must be the first person under the paladin, his efforts have been rewarded, and when he returns from the experience, not only his strength has been further improved, but more importantly, he has used his strength to conquer a giant dragon that inhabits the Cullen Mountains.

When Gutsien flew over the city of Rasbel aboard the dragon Redduoli, his self-confidence was at its peak, and he was going to prove himself again.

However, what embarrassed Gutesian was that similar to the process of the Bauhinia War, in the battle of the raid on Rasbell, the originally smooth battle was changed due to unplanned factors, and when Gutsaen, who had overcome obstacles all the way, was within a stone's throw from the World Tree, Grantham turned into the War Ancient Tree that should not have appeared to block his way, and he could only be forced to defend and dodge in the face of the huge combat power of the War Ancient Tree, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the Paladin Heywood Roland, their operation would still have to be in vain.

So Gutsian's confidence was dealt a third blow.

Although the raid on Rasbel City was finally victorious, but Gutsi'an's heart was very depressed, when he was ordered to command the military and civilians of the Holy See to be responsible for attacking the Elven Forest from the south, he held his breath, in order to prove his ability, this time he not only wanted to let the Elven Kingdom perish in his own hands, but also to the fastest speed, although the Emperor Hepburn was not in a hurry in terms of time, the Holy See's battle plan was also done in accordance with the past few years, after all, the Elven Forest is so big, just cutting down these trees, it is impossible to do it for more than ten years.

However, Gutsian didn't think of cutting down the entire Elven Forest one by one, he requisitioned all the trebuchets of the Holy See army, lined up at the edge of the Elven Forest, loaded with fuel bombs, and the commander gave an order, countless fire oil poured down, followed by a fire that rose to the sky, the fire dispersed the elf killers and magicians hiding behind the trees, and directly burned a road to Rasbel City, when the elf will be forced to fight him, and he will prove himself again in the decisive battle.

In the beginning, the elves and the undaunted warriors fought back stubbornly against the Holy See army in the flames, but gradually even this counterattack gradually disappeared, and the elves seemed to have completely given up resistance. This change made Clonis very happy, and he immediately ordered to increase the progress of logging, all the soldiers and civilians were on it, axes and saws flew together, and the ancient trees of tens of thousands of years fell on the way of the Holy See army.

But not everyone is as eager to make contributions as Gutesian, there are a few generals who are suspicious of the abnormal performance of the elves, the Holy See army is now doing something to cut the roots of the elves, the elves can't give up resistance because of some casualties, could it be the conspiracy of the elves behind this?

As the vanguard of this operation, Duwak fed back his worries to the commander-in-chief Gutesian, suggesting that he should be careful, the elves did not behave like giving up, and the elves had no reason to give up, this phenomenon was more like deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, accumulating strength and preparing to give the Holy See army a full blow.

"The Elven World Tree has been destroyed, the Fountain of Life has dried up, and Grantham has died in battle, tell me, what are they going to use to deal a fatal blow to our Holy See army?"

Gutsian said with a deep face, proud and obviously dissatisfied with his subordinates' doubts.
