Chapter 1: Canyon Raiders

In the midsummer of 3031 in the Bright Calendar, the "Assassination of Grand Duke Berumar, the regent of the Moon Elves", was the fuse, and the third elven war, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, broke out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Moon Elf cavalry phalanx, which had been assembled in the misty woodland for a long time, was like a mad tiger, forcing the Sun Elf soldiers back into the fortress in an instant. The siege artillery was moving at full speed in the direction of the fortress, and as soon as it was in position, they would tilt the heavy rain of shells onto the fortress, completely piercing the fortified city.

Fortunately, the elite legion with extremely high combat power, the Sun Elf Royal Guard was stationed in the fortress earlier, and the defenders of the surrounding cities also came to help in the past few days, several troops gathered together, and under the leadership of the Guards General, they could also launch a powerful resistance offensive, fortunately, the carbonized woodland before the fortress did not fall into the hands of the Moon Elf Legion, and the artillery troops could not find a suitable position to attack the city。

The officers represented by the Guards General and Audrey thought sadly, fortunately, in the past, Her Highness Flora used the Thorn of the Sun to control the surrounding troops, and gathered enough troops in this fortress in advance, and now they can barely support it. The general of the guards led the army to charge six times before he was able to rest for a short time, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations, it was no joke that the moon elves had so many attacking troops, if it wasn't for the premeditation, it would never have been possible to launch such a terrifying offensive in such a short period of time, with the strength of the troops originally stationed in the fortress could not withstand it for half an hour, if there was no early warning news that Princess Flora would have desperately brought her home, now this war may have burned into the border for hundreds of miles.

And the current Supreme Commander, His Royal Highness Aurora, at this time the performance of the soldiers was very disappointed.

First of all, he didn't know how to command the war, he was pampered since he was a child, and he was naturally a good hand at what political skills, what power tricks, what music and artistic qualities, he was naturally a good hand, but he had never experienced a harsh war, and he didn't even have the experience of fighting, and when he heard the terrifying sound of artillery, he would only subconsciously cover his ears, and when the soldiers were eagerly hoping that he could come up with a combat policy, all he showed was panic and ignorance.

However, he refused to let go of power, and let Odella and the Guards General and others be in charge of commanding the army, he firmly held the commander's seal, and spent a whole afternoon at the fleeting and important juncture of the fighter plane, and the "important strategy" that came to mind turned out to be this kind of thing-

"I think we should denounce Flora, if she hadn't assassinated the regent on the spur of the moment, this wouldn't have happened!" Auroran said eagerly, opening her arms, "The immediate priority is to find her and take away her title of princess once and for all, saying that her actions do not represent our Golden Forest, so maybe...... There is also the possibility of peace talks. ”

The Guards General was shocked by these words: "At this time, you still want to talk about peace? At this time, even if you tie up Flora and send her to the Moon Elf Camp, no, even if you and Your Highness the Third Imperial Princess, plus the General of the War God and I pack them up and give them to the Hazy Moon Forest for free, they will never be able to negotiate peace." ”

Audrey was succinct: "The enemy's premeditated attack is not a day or two, this battle must be followed and must be won." ”

Oloran panicked and said loudly, "So, so you're forcing me to make up my mind, right?

The general of the guards slapped his sword on the table impatiently: "It's okay if you don't understand! Then hurry up and hold a combat meeting! Here is the general!"

Auroran was annoyed: "You actually said such things to me? What do you mean by this expression? Miraya, don't forget, it was Flora who assassinated the regent, and the biggest sinner was Flora, and I was just cleaning up the mess for her, why do you act like if if you can't win this battle, it's all my fault!"

The soldiers were so angry that they silently said in their hearts, in fact, this is your fault. The princess has obviously invited a magician, and then the two armies face each other, neither to negotiate peace, nor to attack, most of the moon elves feel jealous, and the situation of condensation will most likely not be broken. But if you want to run to say something, negotiate a peace agreement with the regent, and betray Her Highness Flora again, of course, she will assassinate in a fit of rage.

You should be glad you're alive and well, and the soldiers thought indignantly that Flora's knife should have been stabbed in you.

In fact, most of the Sun Elf soldiers were very dissatisfied with Aurora's request for his sister to be a hostage again. The reason why they were silent, and why they did not dare to look into Flora's eyes, was because Auroran drew his sword, slashed three swords and cut off a small corner of the table, and said viciously, "If anyone is dissatisfied with my decision, he will be punished for talking about national affairs."

Everyone was very sympathetic to Flora, but after a day of war, they felt more regret, regretting that they had not listened to her earlier, until the Moon Elves had gathered a heavy army, and they had not been alarmed.

So the voices that echoed in Flora's ears after signing her name were not the voices of her compatriots.

Those whispers come from the darkness of the princess's heart.

Aurolan's behavior of shirking responsibility first when he is undecided made the generals feel incredible, and even the general of the military god who has always been the most indulgent to Auroran couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, it is really pointless to argue about who should bear the fault now. What the soldiers need is a strategy to win, and at this time, Your Highness, you must calmly make the right judgment in order to stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale. ”

Auroran was so stunned that she could only open her mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word.

And the general of the military god suddenly approached the terrain sand table and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean...... Use the Eagle of Mysteries to strike in the air and blow up the Chimera Gorge to block the road and stop the enemy siege forces from approaching the fortress?"

On the east side of the misty woodland is the Forest of Golden Dawn, and on the west side is the Forest of the Moon, twenty miles to the west of the border fortress of the Forest of Golden Dawn, the originally flat woodland suddenly stacks up mountains, forming a huge canyon area, and only the valley floor passage is the closest path for the Moon Elves to attack the fortress.

The general stretched out his hand to wipe the sand table of the terrain, and the illusion representing the cliff immediately collapsed, and the narrow passage at the bottom of the valley was filled with huge rocks and became impassable, separating the golden chess pieces representing the sun elves and the silver chess pieces representing the moon elves.

The general of the military god gently twisted the goat's whiskers, nodded and said, "That's right, this is really a clever plan." Although there is more than one road to the fortress, taking other roads will have to take a long detour, which can buy our army a lot of time. When the enemy's artillery units are in place, the artillery units of our army will also rush to the battlefield. When the time comes, the two sides will bombard, and our army will be worthy of them!"

In fact, this is completely the countermeasure that the general of the military god, known as the "battlefield artist", came up with by himself, but he has always doted on Auroran and lied that it was his idea.

Auroran was extremely thick-skinned, and said without a trace of shame: "This is my strategy, have you heard it clearly? I'll go back to my room and think about the next step. ”

The general of the central guard looked at the back of Oloran's long departure speechlessly, sighed silently, and then began to discuss nervously, and in a very short time, he deduced all the details and points of the entire battle plan.

"The Chimera Canyon bombing operation officially began at 0:00 tonight!"

"The key to conquering the Chimera Gorge is to take the vantage point of the surrounding mountains. Enemy anti-aircraft crossbow units are now stationed on the highest hill in the canyon, armed enough to intercept any arcane eagle that tries to fly over. ”

After the general of the military god finished speaking, he raised his cheeks and pondered, and the general of the guards volunteered and said, "The task of launching an assault on the commanding heights is entrusted to me." I will lead the Royal Guard lightly and take advantage of the darkness of night to launch a surprise attack.

Audrey said uneasily: "However, the valley area is only a few miles away from the enemy's main position, but it is dozens of miles away from our fortress, and the lightly armed and swift team will fall into a heavy siege when they capture the mountain, how can they stand on their feet?"

The general replied, "Therefore, for the troops attacking the mountain, I think it is appropriate to send a heavy armor samurai corps known as the 'Unbreakable Aegis'. As long as they take the high ground, even if they are surrounded by ten times the army, they can hold their positions with outstanding defensive power. ”

The Guards General was puzzled: "But, don't be funny! Even if the heavily armored samurai regiment set off immediately, with their mobility, and rushed to the canyon area, I'm afraid it will already be dawn." ”

"Don't worry, I've got my own arrangements. Your mission is just as important, you must arrive at the high ground in full gear at the second time. ”

The general stared intently at the clock, and at the moment when the clock struck zero, he ordered loudly: "The Chimera Canyon Raid has officially begun!"

With this order, the whole fortress boiled, and the warriors stepped on their horses and rushed out of the steel gate, and the lightly armed cavalry troops raised stardust under the moon and rushed in the direction of the canyon.

At the same time, the scouts who had penetrated into the enemy's territory in advance fired three red signal flares at the same time, like three small rounds of suns, illuminating the moon elf camp on the other side of the canyon, and the black cannons of the siege troops were illuminated by the signal flares, reflecting the fierce glow in the dark night, and a huge silhouette of the mysterious eagle flashing blue light appeared in the sky.
