Chapter 271: Determination
"Is there any way to get information from the front line faster?"
The herald of the Shuoshi family asked the attendant next to him anxiously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As night falls over the mountains, the eagle can no longer be used as a messenger to deliver information.
The owls that take over their mission will not get lost, even though they have excellent visibility at night.
But their flight speed cannot be compared with that of their ferocious relatives.
After a long day of nervous tension in their heads, even the heralds were uncomfortable with the sudden slowing down of the pace.
I flipped through the map of the Dawn Mountains.
The mountains to the west look smooth and knife-cut on the whole, but in fact the entire defense line is uneven.
The royal city of El Gonda sits right on a bend that recedes into the interior of the Dawn Mountains.
The rolling mountains are both the best guards of the royal city and a high wall that blocks the view.
Even if you stand in front of the throne hall at the top of the mountain, you can't see the situation on the battlefield in the distance.
Night.
This means that the caveman has entered the best time of the day.
Everything is not in our favor.
"Firelight!"
Someone shouted outside the hall, grabbing everyone's attention.
Ellie quickly patted me on the shoulder, as if she wanted me to take her to see her.
This little regent, with no less impatience in his heart, is no less than any of us.
'Akagir, the king's people, the red leaves, the leader of the people'.
When you first arrived in the Dawn Mountains, you will meet the elves of the Dawn Council.
They used to use this term to describe the siblings Maispier and Ellie.
It doesn't seem to be a boast.
Although the little guy looks like he is doing his own thing and arrogant on the surface, in his heart, he still cares about the subjects of the Dawn Mountain Range.
When he walked out of the military hall filled with magical light, he was immediately engulfed in the dark night.
The darkness around us is like a living beast, trying to burrow into our flesh and skin.
From very, very far away, behind the mountains, a little scarlet light.
It looks like a red neon sign casting a shadow on the clouds, and it's not at all inconspicuous.
It made me wonder what kind of eyes the elf who discovered the firelight.
"Wait, this direction is ......"
North?

The owl's cry was like an urgent cry for help, and it flapped its wings from the pure darkness of the night and fell.
The herald of the Fengye family jumped lightly and steadily caught the obviously frightened messenger.
"It's hurt"
There was a clear distress in the herald's tone.
But I'm more concerned with the meaning behind this sentence.
The herald took a scroll of paper tied with string from the owl's talons and quickly unfolded it.
There was no need to even make up the light of the fire in the hall, this herald of the Fengye family could read it freely.
His eyes were probably as sharp as his owl friends.
"They're besieging our lines"
Although I had expected it, this sentence almost stunned me.
Ellie's palms clenched tightly.
"About twenty thousand, and possibly more, have crossed the trebuchet positions and are attacking our main camp"
"Don't panic"
The herald of the Yan Feng family hurriedly came.
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the fire behind the mountains in the distance.
"That's the magic of our Yan Feng family, our flames are entrenched in the forest, covering the hillside"
The herald of the Fengye family continued to read.
"They have blocked the hillside with fire, temporarily blocking the advance of the cavemen"
Ellie's hand loosened slightly, and the heavy feeling in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
But this is not a long-term solution.
"When will the Spruce family's army arrive?"
"Half an hour ago, we received information that our troops were arriving at the rendezvous point, which is their position in the velvets."
One after another, the word means that a whole day's continuous march has dispersed the Yunshan family's troops into a long dragon.
Even if they could converge in time, they would not have the strength to go into battle right away.
That's why I want them to have a good night's rest and prepare for tomorrow's showdown.
The Crescent Family's forces were divided into several groups, and it would be good to take turns to resist the onslaught of the cavemen on the trebuchet's position and avoid a large number of casualties......
And Yan Feng and the rest of the Velvet family are still responsible for the construction of the chariot, the protagonist of tomorrow.
Awful.
Isn't it time to pull the troops of the Shuoshi family up......
"Let's go up!"
Before I could bring it up first, the herald of the Shuoshi family brought it up himself.
This elf, who was not particularly tall or particularly strong, looked at me with a resolute look.
This also impressed the heralds of other families.
Although the fanaticism of this group of nobles for honor makes them look a little arrogant.
But at such a critical moment, it is indeed admirable to dare to volunteer.
However, after you have mentioned this, I cannot send you up.
The charging spirit of the Shuoshi family is not used as a meat shield.
I hope they will leave all their strength for tomorrow's general offensive.
This is a top priority!
"Is it true that the flying ship that arrived in the north of the Shuoshi family, which transports the Southern Legion, has returned to the transportation line around the royal city?"
The attendants next to me nodded to me.
"How long will your magic flame last?"
"Long enough"
The herald of the Yan Feng family was obviously full of confidence in his own people, but.
"No, not enough, tell me the exact time, how long it will be, the magic will run out, or how long it will be before this deterrence will lose its effect on the cavemen"
The herald's face grew heavy.
"We've had many large-scale encounters in the past, and the caveman mages have been able to break through our flame defenses, and at a scale of 20,000 people, consider the proportionality of their mages......"
"About two hours"
Pit!
Thankfully, I broke the casserole and asked.
If it is left alone, the entire Northern Army will have a big problem.
"However, our people will constantly adjust the strength and tactics of magic, and they will not attack the ridge easily, I can guarantee that"
The herald of the Yan Feng family obviously didn't want his family to lose face in front of the Shuoshi family, so what he said sounded like a military order.
But the entire front cannot rely on this as a guarantee.
"Is two hours enough for our flying ship to fly from the southern assembly point to the northern assembly point?"
I asked the other attendants.
"Barely enough"
"Hey, you don't think so?"
The herald of the Shuoshi family said it was difficult to accept.
"It may be detrimental to tomorrow's general offensive"
The herald of the Shiraki family also reminded him.
And she was right to warn that I would be very reluctant to see that happen.
But as I said before to the herald of the Stone.
This is not a battle to annihilate the cavemen, nor is it a battle to prevent any cavemen from setting foot on elven land.
The reason why we chose to attack is fundamentally to allow more elves to survive.
"Divide half of the mages of the Shiraki family of the Southern Legion and transport them to the Northern Legion by flying boat"
That's what I decided.
If it is the elves of the Shiraki family who are proficient in magic, no matter how many people there are or how few people are, as long as they reach the northern position, they can quickly form combat effectiveness.
This is completely different from the Shuoshi family, the Crescent family, and the Spruce family, which rely on the power of the group.
Now only they can relieve the siege of the Northern Army.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed my hand.
Liu Xiao.
She has been standing next to me since now, and I didn't notice her presence until now.
The girl stared at me with her half-open eyes and nodded at me.
At the same time, Ellie put her little hand on top of my head.
Although she didn't speak, her heart supported my decision, and this feeling passed through the soul link and made me feel it clearly.
That's enough.
Not all heralds are expected to understand, let alone all elves.
As long as Liu Xiao, and this little guy with the title of regent, can understand me, it is really enough.
It's enough to make me determined.
