Karen opened her eyes again, and this time she saw the roof of a tent, and she was still lying motionless.

The light of the campfire barely pierced through the tent cloth, so that it was not dark in front of her eyes.

There was no movement except for the crackling sound of the campfire burning and the crawling of insects.

The pungent smell of potions and the smell of a burning campfire penetrated through the tent's vents, filling every space in the tent.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she remembered that Charles had set up his tent last night and dragged himself in and closed the curtain.

As time passed, Karen felt like hours had passed, but the movement outside the tent did not change in the slightest, especially Charles's movement, which had not sounded.

"He's gone on his own," Karen muttered under her breath.

After a while, a wry smile appeared on her face, she had occasionally thought about how she would die, but she never thought that she would starve to death at the bottom of an unknown canyon.

"It's nice to have a tent for me to make a coffin. She said to herself.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, several dark shadows from the campfire cast a few shadows on the tent, and a group of elves lifted the tent open.

In this way, Karen became the first prisoner of the battle.

At this time, Charles was sitting at a table and snoring and eating noodles, and it was not easy to climb up from the bottom of the canyon, especially since the stairs built by I don't know what year and month were wet and slippery, and there was no railing outside, and he was exhausted from climbing up the way.

His current location is in Elizabeth's tent, because the enemy troops in the encirclement here need to be persuaded to surrender rather than encircled, so she needs to come here to take the town.

Now she was looking at a letter, and after reading it, she handed it to Charles, who had just filled his stomach, and said at the same time, "Nikolai, this is not good, are you afraid of the big-bellied man who runs a restaurant?"

Charles took the letter and said, "I'm really afraid, Artoria has bullied the restaurateurs in the business district of Knowledge City, and the cafeteria has disappeared on the island." ”

"That's right. Elizabeth smiled.

Charles picked up the letter and read it, it was sent by Nicholas II, saying that the trade between prisoners of war for resources between the two countries had a good start a while ago, but can the elves slow down, the prisoners of war were sent too much at once, and they couldn't digest it.

In this regard, Charles, like Elizabeth, could only slap his shoulder, and the other party insisted on giving away the head, what could they do.

After a while, Elizabeth said to Charles, "We've suffered a big loss over there. ”

"Huh?" Charles frowned, "what's the situation?"

Elizabeth said a little depressed, "While you were showing them the way, our negotiator in the east questioned why Representative Osme attacked Durian City during the peace talks. Representative Osme said that he did not know about this and went back to inquire. ”

That night, a group of Osmu's fishmen first infiltrated Hefeth's territory, and then attacked the port of Reeds. ”

"Although those fishmen did not run away, the port of Reed City was completely destroyed, many ships were sunk, and there were many casualties, and the losses were very large. ”

Hearing this, Charles could only sigh, and the other party was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The next battle developed as Elizabeth expected, and at the same time as the sneak attack on Reed City, a large number of fishmen landed on the eastern sea, and then the landing battle came from east to west.

Then, according to the plan that had been drawn up, the coastal front line retreated as soon as the enemy was encountered, leaving the contested area within a few kilometers from the coastline to the fishmen, and then withstood the attack of the fishmen with the help of fortifications on the second line of defense.

This time, the fishmen also learned to behave, and instead of going deep into the land, they first consolidated the occupied areas along the coast.

The coastal area was like chicken ribs to the elves, unable to develop at all, and now it was simply thrown to the fishmen.

According to the General Staff, it is much easier to defend against a fish-man who departs from land than from an unseen sea.

It is foreseeable that after occupying the lands that are similar to the white lands, the fishmen will be restrained by those lands for a short time, and will lose the suddenness of the next battle.

"I didn't expect this war to enter the second phase so soon. Charles sighed.

Elizabeth nodded there, and her plan was to play a few big wins in the first phase to build confidence, and then move on to the second phase, which was dominated by "head-to-head rounds".

According to her plan, the first phase will take one to one and a half years to complete, and even two years if the battle situation is not ideal.

This is also the reason why she asked Charles to open the plug-in to brush people's heads in the first place, a good start is too important.

What she didn't expect was that because of the factional struggle within the enemy, the bosses of the two factions of the enemy army at the beginning of the war personally led the team to play and sneak behind the enemy to brush up their reputation.

As a result, the two bigwigs were defeated in a short period of time, and Marshal Sheldon, who was originally in charge of the throne of Osm, was blown into two large pieces.

Then a wave of ferocious operations by the enemy finally sent more than 200,000 heads.

In the post-war review, Elizabeth admitted that she had underestimated the energy and military mobilization that would result from the explosion of domestic capacity.

Now that there are 50,000 enemies surrounded here, it is only a matter of time before they are eaten.

In the seven months of the war, there was a record of rounding up to 300,000, and it was only in history when humans and demons engaged in a full-scale war.

Now not only is the morale of the elves high, but even the human society has begun to pay attention to this elven princess who has only dealt with in business in the past few decades.

However, such a record will be difficult to repeat for a long time to come, and the Kingdom of Osme is already broken after losing so many elites, and now reports from the front indicate that the combat effectiveness of Osm's army has weakened due to the addition of too many new soldiers.

In this way, as long as the Osme side is not stupid, the next step will be to slow down the pace of the offensive, and the main task will be to train and reorganize the new army.

And the task on the elves' side is also to take this opportunity to form new troops and sharpen the army.

In the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for the two sides to have another large-scale war, replaced by a skirmish on a long front.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elizabeth taught Charles military knowledge in the form of a stage summary.

However, Elizabeth also revealed some questions during this period, that is, what a strong army should look like
