Chapter 554: Retreat
Lynn's blood boiled when she suddenly received a message from Elena: Lynn, they are targeting the Green Palace. You don't rush in, I'll mainly take air strikes.
"Against the Green Palace?" Lynn couldn't help but ask, it stands to reason that he just needs to carry out the order.
But the human mercenaries below were being killed, and he had to ask.
Yelena was not angry, she said slowly: "In the entire western defense line, the Green Palace is the weakest zone, there are almost no other towns in the east and west directions, and there is no human army. If you want to break through and go to Bloodstained City, the Green Palace is the best loophole to break. โ
"But......" Lynn had nothing more to say, he wanted to talk about the defense of a city as strong as ours. But then it occurred to me that the spies of the half-elves could not get close to the Green Palace. How strong the Green Palace's defense is, the half-elves don't know at all. They only know that the human army, on this road, has the weakest defense.
Of course, the half-elves are not willing to attack the city, and their solution is to set a trap here to lure the human army of the Green Palace to come to the rescue.
The phantom array in front of him, he didn't see through the details, maybe there were thousands of half-spirits hidden.
And the half-elf army on the main road is also more than detected, and it can't be hidden now, and the preliminary judgment is that it is an army of more than 20,000 people.
Lynn was glad that she had sent someone to remind her earlier.
Otherwise, if he doesn't go over now, he will not be saved, which may lead to the failure of his academy mission.
It's not okay to see death and not save it, but if you send someone over, it means that you have already carried out a rescue. If you don't do it now, at most the second rescue will be unfavorable and his reputation will be damaged, but he will definitely not be sentenced out.
It's a cold-blooded idea, but what's the point of rushing up with blood.
On his side, it was one hundred and eighteen people, plus a chariot.
The mercenaries were in chaos, and the twenty detained mercenaries immediately broke away from the team and fled back, and the direction they fled in happened to be the mound on Lynn's side.
On the soldier's body, there is a sensing device, and Lynn is angry to death.
I just thought that other people's soldiers were not very good, but now my own people are on eye medicine.
Lynn gritted his teeth, and now he understood why Yelena didn't let him come to the rescue. Some fools, if they can die, it may not be a good thing for humanity.
Puff puff......
The rain of arrows of the half-elves, this time covering a huge area, and the team followed by the magician, lost some mounts, and the team without the magician was shot most of it.
However, such a coverage obviously could not last, the half-elf chariot was completely extinguished, and a team of half-elves rode demon wolves and rushed out from a distance, ready to approach hand-to-hand combat.
Bang bang!
The sound of the magic musket sounded again, and the Iron Idol was still raging, but after the human mercenaries dispersed, it was not easy for the Iron Idol to catch up.
The firepower of the student mage is almost entirely covered by the steel idol.
One by one, the steel idols fell and lost their motivation, but the mana consumption of the student mages also rose sharply. They are not as good as the battle mages on the Xia River's side, and they are equipped with magic rings, and their combat power has more than doubled. After their mana was exhausted, they had to drink the potion directly.
Coalition mercenaries, caught in a bitter battle.
The half-elves in ambush on the side of the road had no intention of making a move, if they had done it earlier, more than 2,000 people would have been able to escape. Lynn was sure that these half-elves were indeed aimed at the Green Palace.
Occupy the Green Palace, the road from east to west runs through, and the blood-stained city has a way to live.
The reinforcements of the Half-Elf Empire must choose the battlefield here. Thinking of this, Lynn admired Xia He's judgment of the situation. People can see at a glance where the battlefield will be in the future. Even if you don't attack Bloodstained City and defend the Green Palace, you can still get a lot of points.
No matter how much money you invest in the Green Palace, you can pay for it.
Their own teams came out to hunt, and in comparison, they still made a small fuss. Perhaps the Blood Mage just wanted to replicate what had happened to Fort Woods, hold the fortress and let the undead army attack.
When the enemy is outnumbered, this is the best choice.
And the academy mercenaries in the north and south directions, seeing the half-elves breaking through on this line, had to send troops in order to integrate. Otherwise, their defenses will also become a joke.
No wonder, no wonder the people of the Rodriguez Academy, wanting to be stationed in the Green Palace, refused to accept the command.
They're smart, they're just a little slower. I guess I didn't think that there were mercenaries who could use one day to conquer the Green Palace, and they still had the strength to be stationed.
Yelena had another message, and Lynn listened attentively.
"Lynn, you retreat now, Marquez's men, waiting for you to meet twenty miles behind you. If the enemy pursues less, turn around and eat them, and if there are more, return to the Green Palace together. The route of retreat, let Mรกrquez decide. โ
Lynn knew that if he retreated, he would probably have to pass through Camp Rodriguez.
Yelena looked at the information and thought as she gave orders to Lynn. The half-elves dispatched more than 50,000 people this time to attack the Green Palace, and the defense lines of the humans on both wings had not yet completely stabilized, and there were not many people who could support them. These days, the mercenaries probably can spare less than 10,000 troops.
These 10,000 troops, there are still many families, and it will take three or four days to reach the Green Palace.
The legend of the enemy dispatch is not terrible, and the teacher can solve it, but if the enemy has a large number of troops, a large number of epics, and a large number of magic equipment, the losses on his side will be more.
What the teacher said, when will those scrolls that were eliminated by Sun City come over?
"Actually, you don't have to worry. Abigail regretted it after saying this, she was in charge of cooperating with Yelena, and she was usually here waiting for dispatch. She knew what Xia He wanted this time, although the ranking of the academy was also very important, the most important thing was the souls of those half-elves.
"I don't worry much about winning or losing. Elena didn't ask her what she meant, and Abigail breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little lost.
Are Asla's students so confident?
"The teacher gave me these people and asked me to make a plan, and if there was a problem, the teacher would definitely stop me. There is no blocking, at most there is a risk, not a failure to complete the task. It's just more than 50,000 elves, and if you want to conquer the Green Palace, it's really impossible. โ
"Is it impossible?" Abigail's expression was clearly a little disbelieving.
"Of course it's impossible, the eastern half-elves, and there aren't many elite troops, really dare to pour out, and the Imperial Field Army will immediately pounce on it. Those who came over here were at most second-line legions. In the Empire, there may not be this concept, except for the field army of the royal family, it is the private army of the nobles, but in the Half-Elf Empire, the legion is hierarchical. โ
Abigail was sullen, the second-line army? That's also a real combat army.
Well, you blood mages are all so arrogant, I'm used to it.
Looking at her expression, Yelena smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, I can still call all my classmates, and now there are more than thirty of the teacher's students." The other party's dispatch of legends is not necessarily our united opponent. โ
Abigail's heart suddenly jumped, when did Asra come up with such a powerful force!
The Duke's Mansion is indeed a small number of legends, but the number of epics will give any force a bit of a headache, right?
Yelena suddenly gave another order: Lynn, speed up the retreat, not afraid of exposure, and take everyone with you. The chariot doesn't care...... All airships and warships took off and went to attack the Half-Elf army on the eastern road. Use two-thirds of your magic weapons, and don't attack again until you retreat within twenty miles of the Green Palace.
Please ask Mistress Medirri to lead someone and guard the sky.
Marquez, you stay alone and break the queen, see if the half-elf has any strong men who will rush in pursuit, if possible, kill him and bring him back to the teacher.
Yelena instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, and simply gave the order to shrink the defense.
With Medirri watching in the air, even if the other party has a legendary powerhouse, it is impossible to cause too much damage to his side. After giving these orders, she let the underground magic array of the Green Palace be fully opened.
It was not opened before, but the various parts were still being debugged, and now the danger appears, and there is no need to save those raw coals.
Lynn obeyed the order to retreat, he let the infantry get on the wooden horse first, and the magic musket was not put away, but was held in his hand. Then a team of twenty men descended the dirt slope in turn, and finally the heavily armored cavalry came down.
The twenty mercenaries who escaped over there, I don't know if it was luck or other reasons, they were not intercepted, and they actually returned to the team. Lynn's face was not very good, but he still let them ride with the other mercenaries and speed away. As he walked, from the other side of the dirt slope, thousands of half-elves crossed over and looked at the human mercenaries in the distance.
A half-elf at the head gritted his teeth and said, "Chase!"
The rest of the people, though they felt that it was inappropriate, carried out the order. These half-elves are riding snow-white war horses, and if you look closely, there are bulging horns on the top of these war horses.
The mounts that can climb through the high slopes, move like the wind, and the armor worn by these more than 1,000 elves is also quite heavy and practical. It looks like it's an elite cavalry.
On the main road, the human mercenaries and the half-elves fought, and the half-elves started to do a good job, but the human mercenaries, because the weapons were replaced with magic muskets, although they were scattered, the combat effectiveness of the individuals was still not low. They are not like the soldiers of Xia He, they have exclusive weapons, they all carry muskets in one hand and fire them with one hand, and in the other, they carry straight machetes.
Occasionally find a good angle, that is, as a short spear to stab.
The straight knife of the empire is magically processed in front, and when it stabs directly, there is a certain chance of breaking the armor. Of course, this is talking about heavy armor, if it is ordinary leather armor or thin pieces of metal, it is a pair of wears.
Among the two thousand mercenaries, there are forty students of the Imperial Academy, plus the professors and the magicians in the mercenaries, the half-elves can't annihilate the scattered mercenaries for a while.
