The development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, the army of the Rakshasa Demon did not actually station in the buffer zone as usual, but approached the territory of the Dark Elves step by step with a slow speed of advancing dozens of kilometers every day.

On the opposite side is a million legions, but their own side is less than 300,000 people, the difference in the deployment of troops on both sides is quite large, this is also a matter of no way, the rear force support has not been mobilized, it is impossible for the various military camps on the border not to stay in the army, these situations will naturally make the dark elves' troops in the first line appear insufficient, but the gathered dark elf army is blocked on the road of the Rakshasa demon's march, there is the largest lake within a range of thousands of kilometers nearby, unless the million people on the opposite side march for four days in a row and do not drink a sip of water, it is impossible to find a new source of water before the water is cut off。

This is the so-called art of war, the border between the dark elves and the Rakshasa demon is at least more than 100,000 kilometers, if it is fortified everywhere, even if there are 10 million more troops, it is not enough, and that kind of parallel defense line can make the defender collapse completely as long as it concentrates on breaking through a little, and only by blocking the only way for the other party to advance, such as an area with a large water source, a transportation hub that can allow a large army to move quickly, etc., can the other party be forced to engage in a head-on battle with himself.

Of course, such a defense system is still weak, so it is necessary to build multiple lines of defense in the rear, and invest a certain amount of scout troops to collect information, and at the same time cover the enemy from the battlefield, or organize elite troops to carry out sabotage activities in the rear of the attacker, so as to delay the opponent's mobilization of troops...... In short, a large-scale battle of equal strength between the two sides depends on the commanders of both sides fighting wits and courage within a limited intelligence base, and whoever gathers more accurate information and guesses the opponent's psychological actions closer to the facts will be more likely to win.

This large number of things naturally does not need Ryan to worry about his brains, the dark elf army has a hierarchical system, after several military camps are combined, it is natural for the highest-ranking person to plan these, so Ryan and Faras just stay in their military tent all day long, even if there is anything, the few assistants he brought will come in and out to deliver news for him, this is because the news of Ryan's departure with the army is still top secret news, even among the 300,000 dark elf army, no more than ten people know.

Ryan's fingers swept lightly in mid-air, and a clear magic image appeared in front of him and Faraz, with Ryan's strength, as long as it took some time, he could naturally recreate the surrounding environment of nearly 100 kilometers through the magic image. The life breath of 300,000 dark elves gathered in a magic image less than one meter square, densely forming a large area of green, and about three kilometers to the left of the military camp, there was a lake with an area no smaller than the 300,000 military camp, and the depths of the lake from time to time revealed an extremely powerful aura for ordinary people, which should be a large aquatic demonic beast inhabiting the bottom of the lake.

If in normal times, this vicinity must be full of all kinds of demonic beasts, there are mountains and rivers here, and a large number of small herbivorous demonic beasts will naturally be bred, which will naturally attract large carnivorous demonic beasts, forming a natural and perfect food chain, but now when 300,000 heavily armed dark elves are stationed here, I am afraid that even a small group of ordinary legendary-level demonic beasts have to temporarily avoid the edge.

"Lord Ryan, Neucharol has something to report!" came the voice of a dark elf assistant outside the tent, this voice was very small, obviously the speaker did not want too many people to hear, although this vicinity has been protected by three hundred elite dark elf warriors, and it is impossible for idle people to approach. After getting Ryan's approval, the male dark elf named Nazarol opened the curtain and walked in, this is a temporary camp, naturally there is no permanent building, everyone lives in tents that can be quickly dismantled.

After Nazarol walked in, he first glanced at the magic image in front of Ryan, and his eyes showed envy, in his opinion, if every dark elf legion could have such a thing, where would he worry about being ambushed and sneak attacked by the enemy. It's just that Nasharol also knows very well in his heart that if he wants to maintain such a magic image that covers a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, at least he has to be an advanced legendary powerhouse to do it, although Aledia's strength is not weak, but it has not yet reached the level of equipping all the more than 1,700 legions under his command with advanced legends, that is, those elite legions stationed in Alediar City have such a luxurious performance, and the entire number is not more than ten.

Ryan pointed to the chair next to him, motioning for Nazalor to sit down and speak, the latter had grown accustomed to Ryan's temperament during this time, and knew that he was more approachable, and if he was too stubborn and humble, it would dislike Ryan, so he sat down peacefully, and then took out a copy of the latest information from his body and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan opened this information, and found that it was not collected by the intelligence department to which Nazalor belonged, but was transferred by the commander of the local garrison, in this information, the list of scout teams sent out in the last four days and the information they brought back were listed in detail, and as a result, all the scouts who went deep into the buffer zone for 200 kilometers were not heard from without exception, obviously the Rakshasa demons did a very perfect job of covering the battlefield, and the army of the dark elves can now only guess the general location of the Rakshasa demon's million-strong army with the intelligence of four days ago, which is a rather bad situation, and it is often a precursor to the enemy's military operation。

Ryan didn't bother himself to think about what this intelligence meant, Nasharol is a director of the intelligence department under Aledia, and has at least 100 years of experience in collecting, sorting, and analyzing intelligence, with such a professional present, Ryan's military skills that are not proficient are naturally hidden, so he closed the intelligence and put it on the table next to him, and asked Nashalor directly: "What do you think about this matter?"

Since Nashalor came alone, he had naturally analyzed this information a long time ago, and now that Ryan asked, he naturally said without hesitation: " In the past four days, more than 1,000 scouts have lost news on our side, and within a radius of thousands of miles, if you want to completely strangle so many well-trained and experienced scouts, you must at least use more than five times the number of troops, and there must be enough legendary level powerhouses to suppress the formation, otherwise there are also legendary-level powerhouses among our scouts, and if the thirty shadow dancers escape with all their strength, how can they run back to one or two. ”

Nasharol continued: "The coalition of Rakshasa demons opposite us does not belong to the elite sequence of the other party in terms of establishment, so although the number is more than one million, it is equipped with fewer legendary-level powerhouses than us, according to about twenty out of 100,000 people, it is only two hundred, and now they actually dispatched almost two-thirds or even more of their forces to cover our ears and eyes, in any case, there is a problem, but we have no way of determining what they are covering." ”

"Most commonly, the main force of the Rakshasa has already poured out to bypass our defenses and attack the rear fortresses and barracks. After a slight pause, Nachlor said to Ryan, "In order to prevent this from happening, the Supreme Commander here, General Dahni, has sent additional personnel to inform the other lines of defense and the rear, and now every hour he will activate a miniature teleportation magic circle to communicate with those important positions. ”

Ryan nodded, he knew that using this way to make contact, every time he would consume a lot of valuable magic cores, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, it was estimated that General Daheni would definitely not be willing to use it like this. Seeing that Ryan agreed with his point of view, Nazarol continued to list a variety of possibilities, such as the fact that the Rakshasa demons in this defense area did not have a million troops at all, and they continued to conceal the news after making false information to mislead the scouts of the dark elves, and the real main force did not appear in this area at all, and at this moment they had gathered in other defense areas to prepare to launch an attack, etc.

After talking about these possible scenarios, Nashalor added: "Of course, all of what I have analyzed is based on the existing information, and if the information brought back earlier is wrong, then we may be misled by the enemy. Therefore, the top priority is to break the battlefield shield of the Rakshasa demons as soon as possible, for this reason, General Dahni has decided to send the elite to form a scout detachment composed of all legendary powerhouses, they will set off in the evening, if everything goes well, tomorrow morning should be able to enter the area behind the Rakshasa demon's cover, and send back the first information. ”

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Since this matter is so important now, then I will also make a contribution......" Nachalore thought that Ryan was going to personally participate in this scout detachment, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it: "Ah, Lord Ryan, how can this kind of thing trouble you? As our strongest combat force, your existence is top secret, if it is exposed like this......"

"Haha, that's not the case. Ryan interrupted Nazaror's words with a smile and explained, "I'm not interested in lying down like this, if I really go, it's better to directly wash the Rakshasa Demon Barracks." What I mean by that is to prepare some self-made gadgets for the key people of that scout team, maybe to help them with their missions. ”
