Eighty-nine is just a harmless plant
Caesar couldn't stop the wolf cavalry from communicating with the Tiger Clan's troops, and he didn't care. The old, young, women and children of their own tribe have already retreated to the deep blue forest one step ahead, which means that the continuation of the tribe can be guaranteed, so the rest is how to avoid the loss of combat effectiveness of the second legion.
After being in Quezas for so long, Caesar still knows what is important. Don't look at just a legion of more than 20,000 people, which is extremely important for the Moon Guard, but also for Quesas.
If you define ordinary unawakened people as level 0, the civilians of traditional Black Shine are probably level 5 to 10. And the magic archer and magician are above level 10, and the upper limit is not yet known, Liviasan, as the strongest magician in Quesas, is about level 90, and Hei Yao still has many characters that are comparable to Liviasan, or even stronger than her.
On the other hand, there are various professions in Quezas's Lunar Guard, and the strength generally ranges from level 10 to level 30, and naturally there are some that are stronger than the ordinary level, such as the Bone Dance, and the strongest person in the original guard is only level 60.
This is not to say that the Moon Energy Guards are necessarily stronger than Black Yao's traditional forces, but the strength lies in the adaptability of the Moon Energy to the unawakened, and the war potential that the large population base of the unawakened may bring.
Quezas currently has only one main city, Jicheng City, and the two Guards Legions are basically all active guards, Caesar must find a way to reduce the loss of its combat power, otherwise how to be worthy of Moon, how to be worthy of the Dark Elves who are alien but help themselves.
"Hey. Caesar's tone was not gentle, "Does the staff have a plan for dealing with this situation?"
"Yes. ”
"What?"
"Either retreat quickly, or desperately. ”
"I'm a... Ahem!" Caesar remembered that the person in front of him was a lady, and resisted the urge to explode.
In fact, the team has been slowly retreating, but there is no way to speed up in the face of the troops on both sides, and it is naturally more efficient to withdraw quickly, but there is no need to express how stupid it is to give the back to the other party's retreat. The team was now not far or close to the Deep Blue Forest, and Caesar could not guarantee that he would not be overtaken by the other side when he retreated with all his might.
"Let the Second Army withdraw, especially the archers of the two brigades withdraw first, the archers have mounts, and they are not very worried, and the assault infantry also withdraws. ”
"Huh, what about you?"
"We?" Caesar smiled innocently, "our parents and children are safe, of course we will fight to the death." Caesar turned back and shouted to the remaining more than 2,000 minotaur warriors: "Those under twenty-five are out of rank!"
"The only son in the family, the brother has a disability, out of the ranks!"
"Patriarch!" "The young calf, who had been leading the conversation with Caesar before, stepped forward, "I don't think my brothers will agree to be deserters at this time!
"Moo!!! "The minotaurs, whether they are out of the queue or not, roared wildly, echoing the calf's words.
"Damn, what's your name?"
"Patriarch, my name is Bane. ”
"Alright, I remember you. "Caesar can't wait to slap this guy to death with a totem.
"Well, you minotaurs aren't afraid of death. It's not just you who aren't afraid of death, but we're the guards who are afraid of death?" Glareas's words made the originally somewhat serious scene suddenly embarrassing.
"Moh, I know that our guards are not afraid of sacrifice, but isn't the current situation a little special? If the other side unites, I see that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is impossible for us to turn around and retreat, and it is too expensive to fight hard in this terrain. The Second Army, except for the assault infantry, is not very good at close combat, and the odds of victory are not great. ”
"And then?"
"Then, I feel that since this is the case, with a few of us blocking the other side, our guards will take the opportunity to retreat and suffer the least loss. Caesar's rationality surprised Gleras, and it didn't look like a man who had just charged without heeding.
"I have to say that Caesar's suggestion is quite reasonable. A voice interjected suddenly, and then a dark elf with a distinct scar on its eye jumped from the newly landed Hippogriff.
"General Duran. Glairas nodded in acknowledgment, and Caesar nodded in response. They are not strangers to each other, on the contrary, they have a good relationship, and they have known Caesar since they were the leader of the demon hunter squadron.
"Do you want to continue to think about how to delay the other party?"
"Moo, uncle. I regretted it. Caesar suddenly realized that Duran, as the commander of the Second Legion, must have the corresponding countermeasures for the Second Legion since he appeared here, and it was ridiculous that he had just made such an awkward scene.
"Tsk. I can't imagine you have such a scoundrel side?" said Glareas snickered, covering her mouth.
"Moo, didn't you say you should either run or fight hard? ”
"Oh, yes. I'll pass this on to Your Highness when I go back, well, he'll praise you later, and maybe he'll replace the matter with stew. ”
"I..."
Duran didn't give Caesar a chance to fight back, and the tiger and leopard on the opposite side had begun to approach under the cover of the rhinoceros heavy steps, and the bear warriors and wolf cavalry, who had apparently reached some kind of temporary agreement with the tiger forces, also moved at the same time.
"Send signals, prepare for battle, and order all major teams to act according to the plan, with effective killing as the main purpose, and avoid falling in love with war and rash advances. After giving an order to the staff officer who was with him, he turned around and got on the horned eagle beast.
The rhinoceros heavy step, which slowly raised its speed, ran over the previous ambush position with unparalleled impact, while the bear warriors and wolf cavalry did not speed up because of their slow start, and always had some distance from the tiger and leopard warriors behind the rhinoceros heavy step.
"Aren't we rushing?" Caesar scratched his horns uneasily, "If you don't rush, you won't be able to raise speed without distance, and it will be difficult to fight them." ”
Glareas shook her head, all the battle plans she had access to had already been explained to Caesar, and if the staff had made other arrangements, there would be no need for her or Caesar to participate or know.
Suspended in mid-air, the horned eagle beast used the moon energy to activate the flare gun, and colorful flames rose into the sky.
"All! Army! Shoot! Shoot!"
Caesar was tall and big, and although he didn't have a good vision than the horned eagle beast in the sky, he was shocked by the changes in front of him.
The archers rode the Nightblade Leopard and rushed forward frantically from behind them, and the arrows poured wildly according to a fixed frequency and rhythm on the way, and then diverted to both sides and flowed back at a distance of about 800 meters from the ambush position.
The two support brigades set up their longbows on the spot and practiced various shooting techniques, continuous arrows, high-throwing arrows, and rapid-fire arrows, and they did not worry about the orc troops only a mile away. After applying buff magic to their respective teams, the accompanying mages also joined the array of ranged attacks, and for a while, sharp arrows rained down on the battlefield and magic flew sideways.
Only the Horned Eagle Cavalry Brigade never appeared.
And the reason why the archers and the two teams of archers are not worried, in addition to the assault infantry and minotaur warriors in front of the formation, the greatest sense of security comes from the sudden appearance from the ground, the huge ancient tree, the ancient tree of war, Grubal Mulet, and when Gruba appeared, the bark of the whole body was shining, the beard was all open, and the leaves on the head were constantly turning from yellow to green, from green to yellow, it should be casting spells!
In the ambush position that was originally thought to be abandoned by the dark elves, after the first batch of rhinoceros passed by, countless thick vines suddenly burst out of the ground, and the crazy writhing vines were like soft whips, so that they could not take care of themselves, and more of them could not wrap their feet, and those who could wrap their feet never wrap their hands, so that the heavy step group was cut off, and the opponent's infantry was effectively organized to advance further.
Bows and arrows are a good thing, as long as there are enough arrows, in the face of the same number of enemies, if it is light armor, the archer can destroy 1/3 of the opponent's living force in three shots, and although the medium armor and heavy plate armor have a good defensive effect, but just passively beating will not change the outcome of destruction.
So the best way to deal with it is to find a powerful magician, read the note in advance, and make a big shot in the place where the opponent may arrange the archer's phalanx. However, this only exists in theory, not to mention where to find such a powerful mage, it is difficult enough to estimate the position of the archer phalanx. However, all powerful magic requires an extremely long spell casting process, and the magician is in great need of protection when casting spells, which also tests whether the power of one's own protection for the magician is enough.
The second method is to destroy the opponent with a stronger bow than the opponent, a longer attack distance, and more accurate archery, but... Although the orcs have a race that is good at shooting, they don't have that many strong bows. Instead, the Dark Elves occupy all of these conditions.
Again, the cavalry quickly approached the enemy archers' phalanx, and in contrast to their powerful attacks, the archers were hardly able to cope with hand-to-hand combat that assaulted closer. Instead, consider whether the cavalry will be able to break through the protective phalanx that acts as a barrier, and how many casualties will be incurred in the process.
The last method is to strengthen the defense with heavy armor, similar to the Tiger Clan's troops, in order to reduce casualties before close combat, and then destroy the opponent. As with cavalry, consider how to break down the opponent's barrier phalanx.
For the Tiger Clan's rhinoceros heavy step, the good news is that the other side does not seem to have enough and strong enough barrier phalanxes, and the equipment of the assault infantry is mainly attacking, and those minotaurs, who are strong and strong, are too poorly equipped. Therefore, in the eyes of the Tiger Commander, even if the bow is not strong enough and the soldiers are not good at shooting, it is a very good deal to pay a few casualties to destroy the other party.
Some people may ask, most of the minotaurs to chase have already withdrawn to the deep blue forest, and the remaining minotaurs are only about 3,000, is it necessary to fight?
If you consider the 10,000 sheep-headed people who have been counted as battle losses in the early stage, this is a matter of face, even if you can't catch up with the minotaurs, and destroy the living forces of neighboring forces, it is not a good choice to be promoted and make a fortune.
It's just that the Tiger Clan commander and the Rhino Heavy Infantry never expected that such a variable would occur in the former ambush position that had been confirmed to be abandoned.
The vines not only slowed down the rhinoceros's heavy steps, but the mucus secreted by them posed a huge threat to them, yes, it was slime, if the heavy infantry in heavy armor slipped on the battlefield, how could they get up when it was full of mucus and no one helped them?
The sword slices through the fearless vines, releasing a paralyzing gas from its soft stems. The menacing Rhino Heavy Infantry was now only struggling in the raging sea of vines. Some orcs who had the intention of hiding in the woods and bushes on both sides did not end much better, and it was not only the vines that went berserk, but for the orcs, all the plants had the possibility of killing them on the spot.
This is why the archers of the Guards can calmly practice shooting.
And the few soldiers in the vanguard who were not involved in the vines are still very admirable. With an absolute inferiority in numbers, they did not turn back, did not surrender, but pounced on Caesar and others as always.
Caesar had only mixed feelings to send them to their funeral. Even though the races are different, they are still all orcs, and Caesar is not in a relaxed mood.
"Elder, what kind of magic is this?" Caesar has always known that Gruba is quite strong, and it is said that the Bone Dance Commander and Luo Xia were pinched back then, but they were unable to defeat one of his hands.
It's just that due to the limitation of his vision, Caesar couldn't imagine that the strength of individual units could play such a role on the battlefield. It can be said that the three combat brigades of the 2nd Guards Army completed the attack completely under the shelter of Gruba alone, no, a tree.
"Hmm... I'm not very good at names. Didn't shout a nirvana: what's a hobby. But if you do want to know, call the forest calling. ”
"It's so powerful!"
"It's okay, it would be better if there were more plants nearby, but unfortunately the preparation was a bit hasty and the best effect was not achieved. ”
"He is worthy of being one of the strongest in our Quezas, and he is ready in such a short time. ”
"Maverick, do you have any misunderstanding?" said Gruba, touching Caesar's head, "Short, I, I've buried myself here for a day and a night, just to prepare this thing." ”
"......" Caesar turned to look at Glerath.
"Don't look at me... I've only known the first half of the battle plan. However, in this way, in fact, the General Staff Headquarters should have made a set of general plans and was ready to deal with a large number of pursuing troops in the end. You minotaurs are really favored, Elder Gruba, it's the first time we've seen an elder make a move. "Although Glaelas was one of the early guards, she didn't participate in Moon's expedition to explore the forest at that time, so she wouldn't have seen Gruba attack.
"I love peace. Gruba's wooden face smiled kindly, "Peace is not something that can be negotiated, so I am the ancient tree of war." ”
In fact, although Quezas showed an overwhelming advantage on the scene, the rhinoceros heavy step was a heavy infantry built by the tiger clan with considerable financial and material resources after all, and there were still a considerable number of heavy steps in the position that only temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, after all, many were just paralyzed or fell, and those who fled into the bushes and woods on both sides were even more lethal to the bow and arrow.
It's just that in the end, Quezas withdrew to the Deep Blue Forest almost unharmed, and the Tiger Clan, the Leopard Warriors, and the Rhino Heavy Infantry were all wiped out.
These orcs, who fell into the quagmire (vine pool), did not die at the hands of the dark elves, but at the hands of the bear warriors and wolf cavalry.
Under the call of the forest of Gruba, with the intention of calculating and unintentional, and under the deliberate command of Simba, the pursuers of the Tiger Clan were all wiped out.
Caesar glanced back at the Deep Blue Forest, a look of hatred and anger in his eyes.
Caesar's hatred was not for the bears or wolves who had to pack up their bodies and armor, but for their master, Simba Rhines.
There is nothing wrong with the hostile sides in treating each other unscrupulously, even if the on-the-spot command briefly reaches some kind of consensus, it cannot change the hostile situation of the two groups of the lion and tiger, but those soldiers holding gold-inlaid lion flags, obviously have already received similar orders, deliberately lag behind, and make a sneak attack when the pursuit is hopeless and the temporary alliance is in a desperate situation.
The decisiveness of their knives not only shocked Caesar, but also left Gruba speechless, and even Glerath didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Hmm. I really don't like that little thing called Simba. These were Gruba's last words before leaving.
After a few days of trekking, Caesar finally returned to the city.
Near the moat outside the city, he was greeted by a large group of minotaurs, and these bulls were extremely excited and excited when they saw the new patriarch who was willing to venture out of the palace, and for a time the entire outside the city was moo-moo.
The Second Legion had left halfway through the city, and they had a dedicated passage into the city, and there were various tasks waiting for them, so there was no way to wander around in a good way.
The excited crowd surrounded Caesar riding the Kodomon in the middle, and Caesar could only hold up a bull's face and smile, to be honest, he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying at all, everyone was talking, everyone's voice was not small, Caesar's ears were full of moos and noise, the ghost knew what the guy on the other side was talking about, and he Caesar had never learned lip reading.
After the excitement, the herd followed Caesar to the city gate, only to find a petite figure pestle there.
"Oops, moo, what a big show, second only to whoops. ”
"Mrs. Tifa... Why are you here, don't you have to plan a wedding? ”
"What's the matter, can't the old lady be lazy?"
"Madame, there are people around. ”
"Uh-huh, what's the matter, someone dares to complain about me?" Tifa pinched his waist and raised his toes.
"No, no, no. "Don't dare, don't dare", "How is it possible!" "If a calf dares to talk more, I'll kill him!" God knows how these minotaurs could tell what Tifa was saying in a noisy environment. Caesar was envious, but he didn't want to learn, because after knowing it, he had to reply one by one out of politeness, which was very troublesome.
"Look!" Tifa snorted, turning and leading the way through the gates.
"What's the matter, Madame, do you want my help?"
"No, I don't. It's just to find something random and come out to breathe. Tifa glanced back at Caesar and said, "Can you imagine it? The old lady's dream, hugging the thighs! All day long. ”
"Madam, who is Li Wanji?"
"Everything?"
"You didn't mean that in Japan... Li Manji?"
"Moo, yes, your humor germs have taken over your brain. ”
"Moo~~ God is pitiful, Madame is not happy?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy. Don't you see that I'm fat? I have to do that with Kelsey every day, my head is a storm of melon seeds, oh~~~ My dream of being an inventor!!Don't you know, I recently made a good thing based on Kelsey's protective helmet!"
"What's good?" Caesar didn't care at all about Tifa taking the subject away, but went on with her, because as a rule of thumb, Tifa would soon forget what she was talking about.
"Rocket Helmet!"
"Moo!
“?”
"Moo?"
"I haven't said anything yet?!"
"Moo!?cough, what's it for, moo?"
"As long as you take it with you, you can jump very high after activation! I guess I can jump from the ground to Gruba's head!"
"Moo! You can jump 10 meters, it's so powerful!"
“......”
"Moo?"
"Forget it, thank you for your hard work. Tifa was visibly disappointed.
"What's wrong?"
"Moon asked me, what if it doesn't come with a parachute, what should I do if I jump up and come down?"
"Mohaha... Ahem, how can the lord speak! Just a parachute!"
"Okay, okay, don't hold back. Tifa wrinkled his nose and made a gesture to drive away, "Remember, now that you are the patriarch of the Minotaur, you have more than just the responsibility of continuing the security of the city." If something goes wrong with them. Tifa said, glancing towards the minotaur behind Caesar.
"Moo!?" "No, no!" "How is it possible!?" "Just kidding, how can we cause trouble for the patriarch!"
Caesar had to swallow his curiosity and nodded cautiously.
"I ask you, moo. ”
You say. ”
"Am I not fit to invent?"
Caesar felt more desperate to face this problem than he was to face death on the battlefield. The future minotaur patriarch who carried the clan on his shoulders had to say against his will: "I think it is suitable, madam." ”
"Oh?"
"Invention and creation itself is a process from scratch, and it definitely requires out-of-the-box thinking like Madame to be competent, as long as you pay attention to some details, the dream of Madame Inventor will be perfectly realized. ”
Caesar noticed that Tifa was staring at him a little strangely, staring at him uncomfortably, "Moo... What, what's wrong?"
Moon said the same. ”
This made Caesar startled, whether he made it up casually, or against his will, could it be that the lord was the same? Even if Tifa sometimes makes it clear that she is bullying people, and no one will have an opinion if she is deliberately looking for trouble, but she thinks she is very cute and has a free and easy personality.
"Ma'am. ”
"What?"
"I think you're a little anxious. ”
Unexpectedly, Tifa fell silent.
"So obvious?" Tifa asked in a whisper, pulling Caesar to the corner of the gate.
"It's obvious. Caesar nodded vigorously, not too much, for he was afraid that the horns of the ox would break the hole in the gate.
"Damn, no wonder that old pervert has been teasing me lately. ”
"Moo..."Caesar mooed for a long time, but still asked, "Why?"
"Why?" Tifa jumped, but didn't reach it, motioned for Caesar to bend over, and then slapped Caesar's bull head. "I'm getting married next week!!!!"
