Chapter 343: A fork in the road

Arendelle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The weather was still cold, and the moon elves on the twenty-meter-high city wall of Arendelle felt that it was even colder to the bone.

In this cold weather, the only thing that makes these Moon Elf soldiers who are still on duty on the city wall happy may be that in the recent period, the offensive of the Elemental Elves and Night Elves outside Arendelle has been much weaker.

Not only the frequency of the attack, but also the intensity of the attack seemed to be much weaker, which made these soldiers puzzled and even more happy, thinking that the coalition forces had reached their limit and were unable to carry out an effective attack on Arendelle.

This kind of thinking has a big market within Arendelle now, and many soldiers and civilians think so, and even some of the Moon Elf officers seem to think that Arendelle is impregnable.

Albert, who walked out of the conference hall angrily, was obviously not a supporter of this view, and as soon as he stepped out of the conference hall with his front foot, Albert couldn't help but turn his head and wanted to say something to Lily who was following him, but the elf girl directly covered his mouth.

After struggling for a while, Lily let go of her hand, letting Albert take two breaths of air, and just as she wanted to continue asking, she heard the smart elf girl say in her ear, "If you have anything to say, go back and talk about it, this is not the place to talk!"

After being lectured by Lily, Albert suddenly lost his temper, looked around, and found that sure enough, the eyes of his colleagues were on his side, and without saying much, he walked towards his residence under Lily's pull.

After a while, they walked to Albert's house, and Lily naturally took out the key from her pocket, opened the door, and walked into the house with Albert.

Albert, who was pulled into the room, sat casually on a plush bench in the room, and complained to Lily, who was pouring water, "I don't know what these guys think, they actually think that the elemental elves and the night elves are now powerless to attack? ”

Pushing the cup the table in front of Albert, Lily looked at him with a small mouth and a very calm expression, "And then? Didn't you just talk about this in the conference hall?

"It is clear that these people are tired of war, and even if the present relative peace is an illusion on the part of the enemy, some are willing to bury their heads in the dirt like chocobos, pretending not to know. ”

"You said that there was no real progress at all except for the bad relationship with your colleagues, and you didn't send scouts to secretly go out of the city to investigate? ”

"And you can't do it without permission... Hmm, where are you looking?!" Lily, who was talking to Albert seriously, suddenly noticed that Albert, who was sitting on the sofa, did not look at her, and immediately increased her voice, and at the same time tilted her head to the place where Albert was looking.

"Hiss~ Sister Alaye has an accident!" Lily couldn't help but exclaim at the sight of an unknown white bird the size of a fist standing on the windowsill, and Albert had already taken three steps and two steps to the window and opened the window.

The black eyes the size of a mung bean rolled, and the white bird flew to Albert's palm, and while pecking Albert's palm with its beak, the color of his whole body quickly changed to the same color as Albert's palm. This communication hand from Alaye's collection is actually a bird that can be camouflaged with colors!

Albert glanced at Lily, removed a metal cylinder tied to the bird's leg, and pulled out a rolled-up note. Lily on the side took out some rice grains from the cabinet and put them in the palm of her hand, and after watching the bird happily jump on her hand and peck at the rice grains, she also came to Albert's side, but just saw his drastic change in face, and suddenly stopped.

"Can I know this news?" Lily, who was standing there, asked Albert with a wink, but Albert said with a wry smile, "Lily, how could I not trust you! ”

Lily, who had a smile on her face, walked to Albert's side, took the note in his hand and swept it slightly, then her face changed instantly, and she said to Albert with a serious face, "From now on, there can't be a third moon elf who knows the content of this note, do you understand?!"

Looking at Lily, who was extremely intelligent in his eyes, Albert nodded heavily.

......

Time passed, and the human army in the forest gradually approached Arendelle.

Finally, under Alaye's determination, Giggs stopped at a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers from Arendelle, tens of thousands of soldiers began to set up defenses in place, and countless scouts were sent out by Giggs to ensure that the elven coalition would not suddenly come closer.

Since it has reached the hinterland of the Forest of Life, there are many trees that are hundreds of years old, and there are many trees that are thousands of years old, so it is impossible to build a camp according to the habits of the garrison, so they can only rely on the terrain to set up defensive measures as much as possible.

As for the setting of defensive facilities, after Giggs discussed with many middle and high-ranking generals, he chose the "earth wall" for defense. It is not to dig into the earth to build a wall in the forest, which is simply not realistic, but the so-called "earth wall" is to pile up a wall of earth about 1.2 meters high and 60 to 80 centimeters thick between the trees, and its length varies according to the terrain.

The soldiers used magic crystal muskets and crossbows to defend behind the earthen walls, forcibly turning the possible encirclement and suppression war of the elven coalition against humans into a positional battle that needed to break the defense line!

Use this layer of defense to exchange lives with the elves, constantly delaying time and waiting for Arendelle to give pressure internally, and even break the coalition army that Arendelle has become, and counter-encircle the coalition forces fighting against humans.

The most important point of this battle plan is that the Moon Elf troops in Arendel must come out to meet the army led by Giggs, once the Moon Elves surrender faction in Arendel gain the upper hand or drag down the forces in the city, then the army here in Giggs will be alone!

In Giggs's mind, he made a decision that once he reached the limit he could bear, and the support of the moon elves had not yet arrived, he would immediately lead the army to retreat, even if it would bury a large number of garrison soldiers in the forest.

Giggs was gambling that this war Moon Elf and his alliance would force the Elemental and Night Elf coalition to retreat, and the defenses in the eastern part of the kingdom would be completely liberated in his plan to weaken the Elves.

If he loses this war, then he will flee back to the Spark Territory with the remnants of the defeated army, bury his head in development for ten years, and then talk about expanding the territory!

At this fork in the road of fate, Giggs did not want to lose, and he would never allow his victory to be interrupted here!, but now he had done everything he could, and the other half of the victory depended on the development of the situation within Arendelle. (To be continued.) )
