Chapter 477: Preparing an Ambush Circle
On the outskirts of the Misty Forest, near the Saxon border fortress Belika, the Cosmic Knight Goddard was listening to a report from an elven scout in his outpost.
The Free City had already sent a mercenary group to the outer edge of the Misty Forest with some slave traders' personal guards, and the Kingdom of Saxony had made many diplomatic efforts to stop these greedy merchants, and after the Free City issued a certificate, the Kingdom of Saxony chose to let them go at the behest of Yalin, but the royal family took this opportunity to extort a lot of money from these merchants.
"The first mercenary force is the Eagle Mercenary Regiment, which has about three hundred people, of which there are six mages, but only one is above the tenth level, and the number of slave traders' private army may be more than two hundred. Now that the mercenary group has set out for the forest, it is estimated that they will arrive in our area at noon tomorrow, according to the news from the Belica Fortress. β
The frost and snow elf scouts with silver masks reported the situation in detail, and compared to the previous ones, all the elven scouts have also been replaced with a batch of new equipment, at least everyone can wear leather armor and weapons with a magic level of 'high'.
These weapons are made by craftsmen and mages in the forge hall and the researcher's tower in order to improve their skills, and over time a large number of various levels of equipment have been piled up, low-level and middle-level equipment are collected and ready to be sold to the high elves who inhabit them, and high-level and sophisticated-level equipment are used to give priority to arming the descendants, and the occasional few pieces of excellent equipment are naturally divided up by friends from the anime world.
Goddard pondered for a moment and said, "More than five hundred people are also a small army!"
"And there are mercenary groups that are gathering in the Kingdom of Saxony, and it is said that even the famous black wolf mercenary group in the free city will come, and the number of this mercenary group alone is more than a thousand people, and the overall strength is also very strong. The elven scout continued.
The mercenaries who dreamed of making a fortune kept stepping on the Misty Forest, but these mercenaries probably never dreamed that they would be betrayed when they entered the country!
The details of the number and equipment of the mercenary groups reported by the mercenaries were quickly conveyed to the enemy they were about to face by the country's officials, and so far, the intelligence agencies of the Kingdom of Saxony have collected the information of each mercenary group and sent it to Miria and others through covert channels, and then conveyed it back to the city of Ulduar by Miria and Destier. And the Belica Fortress, which is close to the Misty Forest and is now the largest trading port with Ulduar City, is also constantly monitoring the mercenary groups stationed outside the Belica Town, and sending their actions to the frost and snow elves in the Misty Forest at any time.
"Cut~ No matter how much more you have to come, just kill it anyway. β
Feiying, who was sitting on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, sighed, and after the injury had fully recovered, Feiying took the initiative to run to the front line to fight again, obviously the battle with the black dragon Rogge made Feiying suffer a lot of stimulation, and now Feiying's mind is full of thoughts is to fight, fight, and fight! If you can quickly improve your strength, at least you can't be suppressed by the other party so lightly when you face the dragon next time.
"It's easy to kill them, just consider our losses and the diplomatic capacity of the Kingdom of Saxony. β
Heathcliff walked in at this time, led by an elven ranger, and when he heard what Flying Shadow said too directly, Heatscliff reminded him a little. Obviously, Heathcliff, who had led the team, would take into account the casualties of the team when directing the battle, and could not care about killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Obviously, Heathcliff's outfit like many mercenaries attracted the attention of Flying Shadow and Goddard, and Flying Shadow looked Heathcliff up and down a few times and asked a little inexplicably, "Who is this guy?
"Obviouslyββ" Heathcliff pulled out an emblem from his pocket: "I'm not." β
"Cut~"
Flying Shadow, who was about to try a new knife with Heathcliff, turned his head in confusion when he saw the emblem, and ignored him, but Goddard took the initiative to shake Heathcliff's hand and invite him to take a seat.
Now the front outpost has been expanded a lot, the entire outpost has been dug into a huge underground fortress, and built living facilities that can accommodate hundreds of people, material warehouses, weapons depots and cells, the original teleportation circle has also been built into a portal, although it is a small portal, but it can also pass more than 50 people and more than 100 tons of goods at a time
According to the long-term plan, Yalin intends to build this outpost into a forward base, and in the future, Turialin will directly turn the entire Misty Forest into his own sphere of influence, and the breadth of this area is almost the same as the size of the island of Taiwan in the original world of Yalin.
Now Heathcliff arrived with a full hundred Ice Archer and fifty Minotaur warriors, and the Grand President Kim Bradley, Ice Archer Ash, and the high-handed alchemist Major Alex also arrived, and after gathering, everyone got to know each other, and then left to analyze the situation and immediately began to make a battle plan.
As the commander, Kim Bradley is naturally responsible for the overall strategy in the rear, and the front-line battles will be commanded by Ash and Heathcliff, while Major Alex and Flying Shadow are arranged in the team as combatants, Ash is in a team with Flying Shadow, and Heathcliff is in a group with Major Alex. The last cosmic knight, Goddard, has been judged randomly based on the battlefield situation because of his ability to fly.
"This mercenary group is different from the previous ones, they are not here to dig up some herbs and catch the Cracktooth Wolf, but to try to capture the Frost and Snow Elves. β
After analyzing the information, Golden Bradley immediately began to make tactical arrangements: "First of all, considering that they don't have much information about the frost and snow elves, there is a chance that they will send spies to open the way first, and if possible, I want to set a trap and try to lure them here!"
On the topographic map presented by magic, Kim Bradley pointed to a place about ten kilometers to the west of his current location, where was the place where Flying Shadow and Rogge had fought, because the aftermath of the battle between the two had been leveled A large area of forest had been leveled and there were almost no obstacles, and if there was a mercenary group where it was ambushed, it would be 100% over.
Ash nodded, but said in an inquiring tone, "That's a good idea, but how do you lure them over? β
This time it is a large-scale mercenary group, although it is also a mercenary group, but unlike those scattered mercenaries, the other party will not chase all of them in order to catch one or two elves, but if it is to be dispatched on a large scale, it will definitely be a vicious battle. Besides, even if the other party wants to chase after him, he will definitely send scouts to explore the way, and it is impossible to chase him stupidly to a blank flat land, that is, fools know what will be inside.
Kim Bradley showed a very 'kind' smile and said confidently: "Don't worry, since they are here to capture the elves, then they must hope to find the habitat of the elves, and that is the place they are looking for." β
If you accidentally meet a group of elves or dwarves, then it is not certain who catches whom, and the favorite of large-scale mercenary groups is to catch the lone elves and torture the location of the village and town from their mouths, and according to the situation, the mercenary group will set off to attack the entire town in one go, so as to capture more slaves.
In the kingdom of Karut, a recent elven town targeted is a large-scale town with nearly 5,000 people, at that time, a mercenary group who did not know the situation carelessly attacked where, and not only did it almost completely wipe out, but also frightened those elves to abandon the town and began to flee, and finally evolved into a big chase from the Karut kingdom to the Saxon kingdom, and finally some elves escaped the pursuit of the mercenary group and the slave catcher team and entered the holy capital.
"But it's just flat land right now. Ash probably understood what the other party meant: "Even if you go to arrange it now, I'm afraid it's too late, you must know that the other party will enter this area at noon tomorrow, and we don't have much time." β
"No~ we have plenty of time, even enough to lay a whole bunch of traps there. Kim Bradley said as he glanced at Major Alex on the side: "Major, it's time to work, try to arrange it decently so that the other party doesn't see any flaws." β
Alex patted his chest and said heroically, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will go to arrange it immediately." β
"The two Elric brothers are already busy there, go and help them get the project done quickly. β
In the open space more than ten kilometers away, the light of the refining array is constantly shining, and piles of wood and stone are rapidly changing into houses, and not only that, paths, pools, and gardens are also rapidly taking shape.
"Brother~ The shape of that house is wrong, didn't you say that it should be built according to the shape of the design drawing?"
"I'm just adding a little bit of creativity, it's just a room that doesn't matter. β
Alphonse watched a house that had become like a castle of evil spirits corrected, and Edward, who built the house, looked very unhappy and had to re-modify the shape of the house with alchemy under Alphons' supervision, so that the house had the style of the elves in another world. R1152
