After figuring out some things as much as possible, Xia Qi slowly got up.

Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly spoke: "If you go back to the city now, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a little sin, so it's better to stay in the barracks first, at least your safety can be guaranteed." ”

"Of course, if you still want to go back to the city, that's up to you."

After speaking, Xia Qi planned to leave.

"W-That!"

The sudden sound of the elven girl Celia made him pause for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Taking a deep breath, the man's eyes were still calm, and Celia mustered up the courage to ask the question in her mind.

"Could you please answer me a question, you...... Why are you here to invade our homeland? ”

Hearing this question, Xia Qi's expression changed slightly.

Then he replied lightly: "Your elven king invaded my civilization before, and killed one thousand and three people in my civilization, seriously injured two hundred and twenty-seven, and lightly injured one thousand three hundred and fifty-seven. ”

Hearing this, Celia opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

At the same time that Xia Qi's questioning came to an end, the soldiers' search and confirmation work also had results.

When the defending generals on the opposite side evacuated, they took all the maps and other things with them, and at the same time emptied the barracks warehouse, and then burned down the granaries.

Obviously, this was because he didn't want the army of Great Xia to get food in the city.

After all, the amount of food is related to the time when an army goes out to fight.

If the food can't keep up, the soldiers will go hungry.

When the soldiers are hungry, the combat effectiveness decreases.

When that time comes, Xia Qi just can't retreat.

However, as a veteran driver, how could this kind of problem be ignored by him?

Moreover, after several years of bumper harvests, the current grain in Daxia is simply not enough.

With this as a premise, Xia Qi would not treat his soldiers badly no matter what.

The grain and grass cannot keep up, the soldiers are hungry, and the combat effectiveness will decrease.

At this time, the time had come to evening, and the smoke was already rising from the Huotou army.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Xia Qi led the army out of the city, leaving only 300 troops in Gale City to garrison as a back road and response.

The army went all the way to the east, and yesterday Xia Qi had already learned from the mouth of the elven girl Celia that Gale City was the westernmost border of the elven kingdom.

Continuing west, the next castle is called Qingfeng Castle, which is a castle located in a forested area.

During the advance of the army, Xia Qi, who was riding on the back of a lightning horse, could clearly feel that the pace of the battle had slowed down.

That's because the number of troops has increased.

In the beginning, when there were no ranks, players took dozens of their men to engage in invasion warfare.

Then there are hundreds, thousands, then tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions in the future.

In short, with the development of the times, the number and combat effectiveness of the army are also constantly rising.

Another example, weapons and equipment.

At first it was bone, wooden sticks, then stone tools, bronze, and now iron.

In the future, there will be artillery, guns, warplanes, aircraft carriers.

In the distant future, there may be space carriers, star destroyers, and so on.

In short, this is the inevitable and force majeure brought about by the development of the times.

While Xia Qi's army was advancing towards the next city, Arthur Wang was also informed that Gale City had fallen.

At this time, the smile on his face had already disappeared.

"Tens of thousands of troops? Did Xia Qi move out all his family? ”

In Arthur Wang's view, he was just a rookie who had just been promoted to the silver rank.

It's good if you don't beat him, but I didn't expect the other party to dare to take the initiative to attack.

It was also because of his carelessness that he did not send additional troops to the border city.

The most important thing is that he didn't expect that the opponent's army was so strong, and in less than a day, the opponent would break through Gale City. You must know that when you attacked Xia Qi's border city before, it took four or five days, and until the other party's reinforcements arrived, you couldn't attack it.

It wasn't until now that Arthur Wang began to face Xia Qi squarely.

But the price of facing it squarely is a city.

"Tsk!"

Arthur Wang was depressed in his heart, but at this time, things had happened, and no matter what happened to him, Gale City would not be able to come back.

"Hoo ......"

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and began to flip through the rest of the content

As a result, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and by the end, his whole face had changed greatly.

Rubbing his eyes, Arthur Wang, who thought he was dazzled, looked at the paper in his hand again, but it was written in black and white, "The words of the giant class of the orc clan appeared".

At this moment, Arthur Wang was stupid.

If he remembered correctly, when he attacked Xia Qi's border city, the defenders of the other side were obviously all humans!

Moreover, when he was chatting with Wang Dadong, the other party also mentioned that there is a civilization called Tianxiong Pass in Xia Qi's civilization, and the guard general is an extremely powerful opponent.

Wang Dadong didn't mention that Xia Qi is an orc civilization!?

This is the consequence of not hitting the outpost, and you don't even know what civilization the opposing player is, and it is easy to capsize.

As for Wang Dadong, that guy is not counted, he is completely reckless.

Perhaps, Arthur Wang was so reckless, and he was infected by this good brother of his?

"That Xia Qi is an orc civilization? No, if it's an orc civilization, then where does he get so many Terran soldiers! ”

As a Silver Rank player, Arthur Wang has experienced a lot of battles.

It's not just orcs, some don't, the special civilization players he fights with, and the difference is that they can't be counted on two hands.

But with such a peculiar civilization as Xia Qi, Arthur Wang encountered it for the first time.

The current King Arthur is completely out of order.

At first, he thought that Xia Qi was an ordinary human civilization player, but now he has become a suspected orc civilization player.

As a result, this Xia Qi has become even more difficult to deal with.

Arthur shook his head vigorously and threw out the mess in his mind.

After all, now is not the time to think about what you don't have and how to wrestle with it.

With an order from King Arthur, most of the army of the Elven Kingdom began to march towards the front line, and he himself was ready to personally lead the army to the front line.

The other side.

Xia Qi led the army all the way east.

On the third day, he finally came to Qing Fengcheng's outer area.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large forest with no end in sight.

As for Qingfeng City, it is located in the depths of this forest.

This is the best place for elves to show their strength.

The expression on Xia Qi's face was a little solemn, with the current sky, it was obviously impossible to pass through this forest before dark.

At the same time, it is also not a wise decision to let the Red Fox Archer, as well as the Twin Blade Wolf and the Cat Man Scout into the forest.

This is the home of the elves, and who knows how many elves exist in this forest.

If they were ambushed after entering the deep forest, Xia Qi would not have time to rescue them at all.

Therefore, in the end, Xia Qi's decision was to camp outside the forest now and rest, and then go deep into this forest early tomorrow morning.

However, when choosing a camping site, there is also a point of attention.

It is necessary to drink from the forest and keep a safe distance to avoid the elven archers on the opposite side from hiding in the forest and firing cold arrows at them, or sneak attack.

Xia Qi was right to do this, because at this moment, there were countless pairs of eyes watching their every move in that forest.

If it weren't for the fact that the camp where the Great Xia army was encamped was not within the range of their bows and arrows, and they didn't dare to leave the forest because they were already short of troops, they would definitely launch an attack on Great Xia at this time.

Regarding Xia Qi's vigilance, as the side with weak troops, Howell obviously did not plan to risk any night attack. After all, they do not have any advantage in fighting at night, and when the time comes, they may not be able to take advantage of it.

However, the harassment campaign can still be carried out.

It's night.

A dark cloud drifted in, completely obscuring the half-moon in the sky.

An elf took advantage of the darkness to quietly approach the large camp outside the forest.

According to their commander, Howell, their mission was to disturb the rest of the enemy, so that the invaders would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to sleep peacefully.

Causes the opponent's army to lose its combat power at once.

When he got closer, the elf cautiously felt for a horn.

Just as he wanted to blow it, but at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew and shot directly at his eyebrows.

"Uh......"

The horn came out of his hand, and the elf's body fell to the ground.

When the elf had completely turned into a corpse, a pair of green eyes lit up in the night, and a fox archer who was hiding in the shadows slowly appeared.

At the same time, similar things are happening in several other directions of the camp.

The elven scouts were distracted by the torch-carrying patrols around the camp.

They didn't expect at all that these patrols were nothing more than bait specially given to them by the Great Xia side.

And the real patrol team is hidden in the night where you can't see your fingers.

There was no movement in the camp in the distance, which made Howell's heart sink slightly.

He knew that the elven scouts sent out would have gone nine times out of ten and never returned, and the other party had long been guarding against him.

Early the next morning, listening to the report of the fox scout, Xia Qi nodded calmly, obviously mentally prepared.

The other party is currently at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and waiting for his army to overwhelm the situation is undoubtedly a dead end.

So before going head-to-head, you definitely have to do something, to increase your chances of winning as much as possible, but also to buy time.

Harassment operations after dark are undoubtedly one of the more effective means.

As for the next, the other party's arrangement, nine times out of ten, it is in that forest.

But with the absolute strength of this army in his hands, Xia Qi was fearless.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will enter a state of readiness!"

After signaling all the soldiers to be vigilant, Xia Qi's army began to steadily advance towards Qingfeng City deep in the forest.

The unrest along the way is doomed.

But what Xia Qi didn't expect was that the generals who commanded the battle on the opposite side were very calm, and they didn't mean to do anything until they were halfway through the journey.

Xia Qi didn't think that the other party would let go of this wave of opportunities to consume their troops, and now, I was afraid that the other party was wasting their energy.

Human energy is limited, and over time, it will gradually become slack.

Especially when you are on high alert, you can easily get tired.

Just as he was thinking, a sharp arrow shot in the air, pointing directly at Xia Qi who was riding on the back of lightning.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

As a feline, Chuck reacted extremely quickly, leaping into the air at the last moment, and using his gauntlet to take down the sharp arrow.

"Escort !!"

In the shouting, the guards who were startled hurriedly rushed up to protect Xia Qi in the center.

At this point, the original calm was completely broken, and the elven archers hiding in the woods on both sides began to fire their arrows frantically, and the main force that had been attacked fell into a brief panic.

On the contrary, Xia Qi, who was almost hit by an arrow just now, did not change his face at all.

"Unfold the shield array!"

With Xia Qi's order, the big shield soldiers distributed throughout the army immediately came up with big shields, and in a very short period of time, two shield wall defense lines were formed on the left and right sides of the main army!

The sword and shield soldiers behind also raised their shields one after another and began to fill the vacancy.

After the shield wall was formed, no matter how fierce the elven archers were, they could not break through the reinforced shield wall.

"Maintain the shield array and advance in the direction of Qingfeng City!"
