Chapter 446: Continuous Attack
I found that going home for the New Year is busier than going to work, so I can only try to find time to write, and the update is still not guaranteed, please forgive me.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on here!?"
A simple question, but with irrepressible anger in it, has reached the point where it can erupt at any time and burn everyone around it to death.
Such unquenchable anger frightened the people around her, including her two relatives, into retreating a few steps, leaving a vacuum around her.
She didn't care, just stared at the person in front of her.
Originally, he was just a squad leader, but after the commander here was killed, he temporarily became the supreme commander here, responsible for the post-war handling here until her arrival.
He's just a squad leader, nameless, and no one cares about his name, but she's a big man in the middle of the word—Raphna Taylor, one of the only two remaining sisters of Liv Taylor, the head of the Bedasta family.
The name Bedasta originated from one of the owners of the family several generations ago, a rare male in the family, who was eager to change the family to his own name after successfully assassinating his sister, who was the head of the family.
However, he had only been in that position for less than a month before he was ...... by one of the daughters of his mistress Well, that's actually his daughter too.
In the world of the Dark Elves, such things are not uncommon.
He killed his sister and wife, and then was killed by his own daughter, however, for unknown reasons, after killing him, his daughter did not change the family name back, but continued the name Bedasta all the time.
After that, several generations of housemothers also used this name, so the Bedasta family became one of the few families in the underground world to use a male name for many years.
A family that has continued to kill his wife and father all the way, infighting has been deeply engraved into their blood and even bone marrow, in such a family, she can survive after her sister becomes the main mother, which is enough to show her status in Liv Taylor's heart.
In fact, in such a big family, Raphna's status can definitely be ranked in the top five, and she is a real person with real power.
Her status in the family ranks in the top five, and in the territory of the Chivita family that the Bedasta family has just conquered, her status is even second, and the first is also the person who led the troops to conquer this territory - Liv Taylor's most valued daughter Flaril Taylor.
There was a gap between the first and the second, which was why Florelle was still sitting on the comfortable throne of the city, taking care of simple affairs, while she had to come all the way to this place full of the smell of men.
As for the reason why she came here, it is also very simple.
They've been attacked!
To be precise, 2 days ago, this formation was attacked by a group of unknown enemies.
It was just a satellite settlement of the city on the northern border, and when the Chiveta family was in control, it was purely used as a garrison of 500 troops.
When the Bedasta family took control of the territory, it became a place for temporary settlement of city dwellers - because of some special methods, and for fear of being exposed and spread, after conquering this territory, they had to resort to such means to temporarily relocate all the inhabitants of several cities to the surrounding settlements.
There are seven or eight such settlements around the city, and in total, more than 2,000 people are housed here, and they have sent a special force of 300 heavily armed guards to prevent these people from rioting.
Now, however, it is almost in ruins, with less than 100 of the 2,000 people left, and the 300 guards even worse, including the squad leader, only 26 survived......
It was such a big deal that someone had to deal with it, and there weren't many people in this place who had it, so it ended up on her.
Seeing the ruins and the corpses of the soldiers lying everywhere, she immediately felt some uncontrollable anger, which was already the worst loss for the family since Liv Taylor became the head mother of the Bedasta family.
With her temper, she had long wanted to use her sword to kill the remaining 20 or so soldiers, but she finally held back, because she still needed to know the details of the battle that took place here from these people.
However, she was soon disappointed, as none of the soldiers could name a specific one.
They only knew that the battle had taken place very suddenly, that the enemy had attacked suddenly, and at first it seemed to be a continuous attack of heavy bows and crossbows or throwing guns, and almost instantly, more than 100 of the soldiers who were exposed had fallen, which was a third of the number of the troops.
Then, when the other soldiers found that they were not coming to support and wanted to approach those long-range enemies, they found that the opponent was in front of them with about the same number of melee troops as them, and it was easy to block their approach.
Then, another force suddenly appeared, but not from the front, but from the back, that is, the town that they had occupied not long ago!
As the occupiers of the town, they had no idea how the enemy had entered the town!
That's all the soldiers knew, and in fact they didn't even see it with their own eyes - the 26 men survived because they hid in their houses throughout the battle, and only a small part of what they said was seen through the cracks in the windows of the house, and more was heard by the shouts of the other soldiers who were fighting at the time, and the more than 100 civilians who remained after the battle.
To put it bluntly, these 26 people are simply deserters!
After listening to their descriptions, Raphna knew that there was no need for her anger to be suppressed......
Putting the sword back into the scabbard, Raphna turned around expressionlessly, and said lightly: "I told Flarier a long time ago to tell her not to devote all her energy to that thing, she just didn't listen, now it's okay! Forget it, don't talk about it, go back and ......"
Before she could finish her last word, she was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the next moment, a small group of soldiers quickly ran into her sight.
The man in the lead shouted as he ran, "Lord Raphna, something has happened! We have just received news that the village of Nava in the south of the city was attacked half a day ago!"
Ravna heard this, Huo Ran's color changed.
If it's just an attack, it doesn't matter if the damage is doubled, but if it's a long-planned succession of attacks, the problem is serious!
Not because of the losses of the soldiers of those troops, but because something in their hands is likely to be exposed!
She quickly turned to the two of her followers and said quickly, "You guys rush back at once and report the matter to Floriel, the others, follow me!"
As soon as the words fell, she had already made an appointment with the back of an underground pungent horse, and roared away with the 500 elite troops that followed her.
