Chapter 52: The Unfinished Promise
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As the pace of the war continued, the wolf eater Kolchaha was unwilling to disobey the orders of his master, so he had to give the order to march to the edge of the forest. He really wanted to carry the messenger collar from Pilsen and roar: I haven't even found the main position of the elves!
Grudging and cautious, but unfamiliar with the terrain due to the fact that the scouts had been killed too much. So it was logical that he was ambushed.
On the 13th day of one year and two months after the Twilight Agreement, the Essien army was ambushed in the Sorin Valley and suffered heavy losses. Kol Chaha made a quick decision, abandoning the three infantry corps and baggage troops that had already been encircled, and led the limited cavalry to cover the territory army to break through to the south. After five hours of fighting, five legions, including those from Plzeň and other territories, were routed, and about 12,000 men were killed or captured. More than half of the Esien army was lost, but they snatched out all of the team's troops and some of their baggage, and they were wounded but still able to fight.
When the news came back, Essien was in an uproar. Because the Imperial Council had anticipated the war too well before, and there was no information control, the news immediately flooded, and it was too late to control it when the reaction came.
People who did not know the inside story denounced Kolchaha for being greedy and aggressive, and several mainstream newspapers even carried sensational headlines such as "Wolf Eater Executioner". But only a few tabloids, revealed or instructed by some people, questioned how the wolf eater could have made such a low-level mistake, and the words reflected the appearance behind him. In short, the focus is on Essien's mistakes, not on the elves' abilities.
Kolchaha, who could only be scolded and could not return the favor, explained in detail the course of the ambush in a letter to the Prime Minister's Council.
“...... When the Chinese army passed through the valley of the Guò Solin River, it was as if tobacco medicine for mining was put into the pass, and the hideous plants grew like an explosion, and the soldiers were frightened, and the officers ordered the strange trees that blocked the way to be burned. But no one expected that the plant was rich in fat than roasted meat! The flames and black smoke caused the army to divide several pieces......
“...... Each part is attacked differently. Some of them were swept away by the sudden tide of beasts, wolves, foxes, eagles, and some unrecognizable giant beasts. Our shield array was overwhelmed at once, and then the official army of the Tia Elves appeared, each of them experienced fighting archers. At a distance of 1oo to 3o Sami, the elven bow and arrow were too efficient to stop the chain mail and breastplate from accurately burrowing into the eyes and armpits. Then they drew their short swords and round shields to attack, the opponent's formation and impact were not strong, but our team was already broken......
"In the other part, the soldiers stood in the river to escape the heat and smoke, but a terrible troll appeared inside. It looked like a crocodile, but there was no crocodile anywhere that could swallow six people in one bite! The crocodile has two extremely long tentacles at the corners of its mouth. A broken tendon and fracture. No known standard weapon could damage it, and the ballista's close-range fire actually stuck in the carapace. The giant crocodiles were lured by the elves, and fortunately the enemy could not control the nightmarish creatures, and several elves were also eaten......"
"While I was trying to lead the cavalry back against the enemy, the big stones of the city gate rained down. This is the place I can't figure out the most, a catapult that shoots a stone of this size would be very large even for the creation of the Wind Furnace Dwarves, but the scout had scouted the area around the shooting location beforehand, and there was nothing but some trees. How did the elves hide the catapult......"
This report, which looks like a monster novel, has been burned, and if it is fake, then Kolchaha's argument of shirking responsibility is really disgusting. If it's true...... Then it can't be passed on. Xiang is the biggest vested interest and promoter of this war, if the war is unfavorable. Most of the blame will fall on him. The seat under the ass is already crumbling, he is relying on his long-term prestige and the confidence of the people, and the information about how powerful the elves must not leak out.
Soon after, the Imperial Council issued a sternly worded proclamation, but did not urge the wolf eaters to march again.
The elves take advantage of the victory and pursue. After paying a small number of casualties, they won two small stops on the frontal battlefield and forced the Essien army to retreat 5o Sarri.
But Kumara's military forces intervened. The situation has taken a turn for the worse. On the 17th, Tiya prepared a large army to attack Essin, when the vanguard archers of the Left Wing Governor galloped to the aid of the Long Distance, and were met by the Black Feather troops, and Tia sent sniper troops to shoot fiercely on both sides. Regardless of the damage, the Kumara archers rushed into the frontal battlefield to disrupt Tia's pace. Then the main force of Kumara arrived, and Garanord was forced to retreat.
"The elves are afraid of heavy casualties, and although they have unknown methods, they have always used the method of weakening the surprise soldiers and then fighting head-on to reduce the damage. Then we'll fight with them. When Birchfield, the Governor of the Left Wing, said this, his tone was as cold as steel.
He took advantage of the unfavorable political situation in Kolchaha's country and forced him to use the army as a pathfinder and forcibly advanced regardless of casualties. If Tia sniped, Birchfield seized the opportunity to use the highly mobile cavalry to kill. In this way, the casualties of the elves and humans increased dramatically by 1 to 3, but Tia could not bear it first and retreated continuously.
On the fifth day of the third month, a small group of Tiya attempted to infiltrate Kumara's camp and burn wheat and other grains.
The young secret arrow Druitarhini opened the barn, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Fooled! Hurry up!" he didn't explain much to the five ranger companions, and there was no need to say much about the trust between the two sides who had made the oath of Bow and Ye.
The sound of dense footsteps sounded in the distance, and the Tahini wooden staff crackled and enveloped the area behind him. But the pursuers were all wearing steel boots with sharp blades, and their footsteps were only slightly hindered when the vines broke. The rangers returned fire with their bows, and only then did they widen the distance.
They ran towards the dense forest to the east, where there would be a team to pick up. On the way, Tahini was panting, but his mind was thinking about something more important. Black Feather's information was to rely on the birds to confirm the location of the barn, but only the top layer of the barn was wheat, and the bottom was straw. This trap is set against the birds' lack of ability to think, and Kumara has already spied through the druid's reconnaissance methods!
Thinking of this, he silently recited the name of the left-wing military governor, and his mind was cold.
"No way!" said the ranger with the scar on his face.
Tahini was startled, and the road leading to the jungle was filled with the sound of hooves, and his pockets were tightened. The five fellow rangers turned their heads to look at the druid, who was in a state of panic, he wasn't an adult after all. I took a few breaths and tried to calm down. He looked around.
"There are mountains in the southwest, let's go there, at least...... You won't be pinched......" his voice was dry.
The rangers didn't say anything, and ran straight southwest, they already knew that throwing themselves into the arms of Sivanus was today, but the warriors of Garlanord could not die of cowardice.
The hillside was gentle, and it was hard to find a cliff, and they stopped to prepare it. The atmosphere was very depressing, and the scar-faced ranger spoke, "The army will return to the forest if it retreats." ”
The other rangers said, "yes." The Eagle Kumara people are more afraid of death than we thought, and they are quick to adapt to spells. ”
"I wonder if we're going to be taken for heroes?" said a ranger with a smile as he tightened his bowstring.
"Of course, the pillars of the Temple will leave us with a ......," the laughter grew.
Tahini bowed his head: "I'm sorry. ”
"Why apologize?"
"You should have become living heroes, and you glorified the prestige of the Demon Archer on the battlefield because of my ......"
"Is it your responsibility for misinformation?" asked Scarface Ranger.
"No, but I ......"
"It's not like you're a fart!"
There was a half-silence, and the human army below was gathering, looking at least 5oo people in the past. They shouted in half-baked Tiya language. Call on them to surrender, claiming that they will be treated accordingly.
"Tahini, your natural transformation may not have been long, but it is enough to fly out of this piece. You go, Narah is still waiting for you. Let an underage child die in battle with us, and I won't be able to hold my head up. The ranger said in a deliberately vicious voice.
The little druid pulled out an acorn from his shutting body, and said with a pout, "If I leave you alone." I became the first Tia to defile the Oath of the Bow and the Leaf, and I will never be able to look up at Narah for the rest of my life. ”
He stood firmly, though his knees shook a little. But Lang shouted: "Under the shade of the trees, the secret arrow druid and the magic archer live and die! the golden oak is evergreen, and Tiya is prosperous!"
The rangers looked at each other with a smile and said in unison: "Golden oak is evergreen, Tiya is prosperous!"
The human troops drove up, and the front row held tower shields in a shield array, as if the city wall was slowly approaching, impermeable.
Tahini stood in a slightly secluded position and planted the acorns. Golden saplings burst out of the ground......
Half an hour later, Scarface Ranger strangled an enemy with a bowstring and was subsequently crushed by five enemies. He was the last ranger alive, and Tahini was captured alive, and a whole group of soldiers surrounded the robed elf, covering his mouth, tying each of his fingers to prevent him from moving, so that the soldiers around him were still like a great enemy.
An officer with obvious Kumara militaristic characteristics walked up, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes and the two captured elves, excited and angry. For the sake of 6 enemies, he lost more than 200 battle-hardened professional soldiers, all of whom were good boys trained by his own hands. However, if you can get the secret of the elves' divine powers, it is worth dying for 20,000. The progress of the military power of the Eagle Kumara never stops.
Kumara admires the two for their never-give-up military qualities, but it can be suspended. Here's what happened to the clash at the top, and it has nothing to do with us. Stop resisting, and trust the Queen of Garlanor to redeem you. ”
The eyes of the two elves collided slightly, and what the ranger wanted to say was in that one look: under the shade of the trees, we will meet again.
"Poof!" he slammed the back of his head against the rock.
"Stupid!" the officer scolded, but most importantly, Tiya in his robe was still alive and he wouldn't give him a chance to kill himself.
Tahini's eyes crossed the corpses of the five rangers, and the past two years of getting along, laughing and scolding, life and death together...... However, he is not sad, and the druid, who has walked into the river of death half in his body, can only look forward to a reunion later.
He suddenly remembered what the big-eyed Vlamir had asked: "Do you have a crush on someone?" Suddenly his heart was filled with regret and guilt, Nalach, you have to find a better elf, I can't be a punching bag for you anymore......
"He's got something in his arms!"
The excess acorns were born under the druid's instigation of the natural energy contained in his flesh and blood, and grew unsound branches, and the fruits of energy on them shimmered. Tahini closed his eyes and gave up control of the golden tree
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Two days later, Nalah on the forest front broke down and fell to his knees crying, holding Tahini's only remaining head in his arms. (To be continued!)
