Xia Qi leaned on the office chair, pinched his eyebrows with his left hand, and tapped rhythmically with his right hand on the desktop of the desk.

This is his habitual action when he is carrying out his thoughts.

According to Xue Li's report, the low wall of several meters high on the other side was obviously not to be feared.

So, the focus is on the class and terrain advantages on the side of the Wood Elves.

According to Xue Li's description, the wood elf named Luke is a powerful elf druid who can transform into a giant eagle for battle.

And after he turned into a giant eagle, in addition to possessing extremely fast flight speed and hand-to-hand combat ability, he could also cast two low-level wind spells, the first-order wind clearing technique and the second-order wind bomb.

Can melee combat, can cast spells.

This elven druid is quite difficult to deal with.

Tark had also said before that the elven druids were one of the top troops of the Wood Elf clan, and their cultivation requirements were extremely harsh, and a hundred Wood Elf mages might not be able to produce an elven druid.

After becoming druids, they have to find the beast to refine the beast spirit, and then sign a contract with it.

Xia Qi felt that this was not called a druid, but rather a beast spirit mage.

In short, the strength of the beast spirit often determines the strength of a druid.

The strength of a beast spirit is often determined by the strength of the beast.

And a druid can only sign a contract with one beast spirit in his life, and once that beast spirit suffers a heavy blow and dissipates, then that druid will definitely die.

It can be said that it is both a glory and a loss.

And the attribute constitution of the beast spirit often determines the attribute constitution of the druid.

In the case of Luke, the beast spirit who signed the contract with him was a giant eagle, that is, the eagle spirit.

The attribute of the giant eagle is wind-based, so Luke, who has signed a contract with the eagle spirit, can incarnate as a giant eagle and cast and practice wind-based spells to a certain extent.

Of course, this is very low.

To put it bluntly, Luke can only use low-level wind spells, which may also have something to do with the strength of his beast spirit.

But in any case, this profession is far from being as fifth-order as imagined, and there will always be a solution.

For example, that Luke, if he really only had that level, a military general with a magic equipment inlaid with a second-order magic core could achieve similar results.

Now for Xia Qi, the trickiest thing is that guy can fly.

If Xiaobai has not yet evolved, Xia Qi believes that he will be able to turn the tide of the battle to a certain extent.

Of course, if Xiaobai has completed his evolution, then with his magical powers, he may be able to fight according to that Luke.

After thinking about Xiaobai's majestic appearance after the evolution for a while, Xia Qi took a blank piece of paper and began to ponder the configuration of the troops to encircle and suppress the wood elves this time.

In order to prevent that Luke from turning into a giant eagle and attacking from the sky, it is necessary to attack the air class.

There are 1,000 elven archers equipped with swift wind arrows, 1,000 elven guerrillas, 1,000 red fox archers, 1,000 double-sword wolves, and 1,000 sword and shield soldiers as front-row melee troops.

At the same time, just in case, another 500 cavalry was transferred to Xue Li to sweep the formation.

In this way, the total number of troops sent by his side has reached 5,500.

At the same time, the wood elves under Talke's command can also make up a combat force.

In other words, the strength of the encirclement and suppression troops should be around 6,000.

With a full 6,000 troops, including powerful troops such as orcs, it is obviously enough to encircle and suppress a group of wood elves with this strength.

After much deliberation, one after another warrants for the mobilization of troops were quickly issued.

This wave of troop movements is not small.

The next morning, the bear ran over in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to encircle and suppress the rebel party of the wood elves, and a thousand soldiers of my Imperial City Praetorian Guard are asking for battle!"

Looking at the bear with a sworn face, Xia Qi refused his request while being relieved.

"The Imperial City Praetorian Guard just fought a fierce battle last year, and the losses of troops were serious. Recuperate and train new recruits is what you should do now. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, and the recruits who have been replenished have also been training for a while. The last general pondered, and it was time for some actual combat sharpening. ”

Hearing this, Xia Qi nodded subconsciously, and then glanced at Xiong with some surprise.

I have to say that Xiong, a reckless man at the beginning, still has some ideas in his mind after taking the soldiers for so long.

I have to say that although Xiong is a reckless man, after leading the troops for a long time, he still has some ideas in his head.

Then, Xia Qi still rejected him.

"No, I can't. The battle to encircle and suppress the wood elves was dominated by guerrilla warfare in the forest, and the Imperial City Guards were good at charging into battle and fighting the enemy head-on. So, there is really no room for you to play this battle. ”

After speaking, he looked at the bear who was about to say something again, and Xia Qi hurriedly raised his hand.

"Okay, I know about the affairs of your Imperial City Guards."

Xia Qi thought for a moment, and then said to the bear: "That's it." The western border of Great Xia has been a little unquiet recently, and some barbarian tribes often attack my cities in Great Xia. How about you and Li Chuan clean up those barbarian natives well? ”

Hearing this, Xiong immediately accepted it, he only cared about whether there was a fight, as for where it was, he always didn't care.

After watching Xiong leave, Xia Qi's gaze fell back on the development plan for the new year in front of him.

Now, the Twin Cities on the other side of the bitter cold are in full swing.

The people who live there are all made up of humans from the bitter cold lands, as well as snow werewolves, snow foxes, and ice bears.

But these are far from enough, so Xia Qi had already signaled to the Twin Cities to absorb the human tribes scattered in the bitter cold land.

However, it seems that the results are not very good.

Probably because of the orcs, the human tribes on the side of the bitter cold have been greatly reduced, and until now, the Twin Cities have only taken in less than 2,000 humans.

This is a serious disagreement with the population of the once bitter cold land.

But the problem of underpopulation must be solved.

Otherwise, the mining of iron ore alone will be in a bottleneck.

At the same time, the bitter cold land actually has soil, and it is the black soil called black gold, which is hidden under the ice and snow.

For Xia Qi from China, such fertile land is there, and his heart is really uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, don't say it, it really made him think of a way.

The bitter cold land is frozen and snowy all year round, but it will not be long before you change the temperature of the planting area?

One of the easiest ways to do this is to build a plastic greenhouse.

But there is no plastic in Daxia now, so Xia Qi thought of another way, which is to build a glass greenhouse.

There are many glass Daxia here, and the glass that has been fired for so many years at the same time, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is called a superb, and it is not a problem to think about the glass needed to fire the glass greenhouse.

Therefore, the first plan of the new year of Great Xia was to build a glass greenhouse in the bitter cold land, and the people of the previous batch of Great Xia would pass.

The second plan is to send troops to clean up the barbarians in the west.

While expanding the army and population, investigate what mines are stored there.

For this task, Xia Qi has already sent Xiong and Li Chuan to do it.

On the grassland, the past few years have been calm, but there are no plans.

It is only necessary to gradually encroach on the grasslands as in previous years.

One after another government orders were quickly issued, and the originally calm Great Xia was running rapidly again.

Because Xia Qi sent troops to encircle and suppress the wood elves, the forces of all sides were not concentrated in one place, so the assembly place of each army was directly set in the southernmost city of the elf administrative region.

Among them, the nearest elf troops were naturally the first to assemble.

The furthest orc unit is still on the way.

As time passed, the armies of the Wood Elf rebels from all sides arrived one after another.

"The whole army rests!"

In front of the military formation, Arthur Wang rode a tall white horse and wore a gorgeous armor.

I saw him wave his big hand, signaling the army to stop advancing and rest for a while.

In this campaign to encircle and suppress the wood elves, Xia Qi appointed the elven king Arthur as the main general, while Xue Li, Richard and Tarke were the lieutenants of King Arthur to accompany the army.

As for Wang Meng, the general of Zhendong, he was left in the rear.

This move surprised many people, including Arthur Wang himself.

But after thinking about it, I took it for granted. Although Xue Li is now a general who can take charge of himself, he is a cavalry general after all.

As I said before, this battle is estimated to be dominated by guerrilla warfare in the forest.

The role of the cavalry is basically to sweep the formation on the periphery, and at most surround and intercept the fleeing wood elves.

Let Xue Li be the chief general, with the positioning of his troops, it is impossible to enter the main battlefield with complex terrain to command operations, so he is not suitable to be the chief general.

At the same time, Richard, who is the patriarch of the wolf clan, is now a veteran with enough qualifications. However, he is better at conducting individual command operations, and his ability to coordinate the overall situation is slightly inferior.

Not to mention Tarke, who has no qualifications and abilities that are about equal to zero.

After such a pass, isn't the most suitable candidate only King Arthur as the king of the elves?

No one can deny that among the generals who accompanied the army, Arthur, the elven king, is currently the most suitable candidate for the main general.

During the rest of the army, King Arthur, as the main general, was naturally not idle.

I saw him sit cross-legged on the ground, then stood in front of him with his saber Wind Sigh, and then took out a fist-sized Wind Crystal from his arms.

After bringing the Wind Crystal close to the Wind Core on the Wind Sigh, a magical scene happened.

I saw that the demon core, which was slightly dim in color, seemed to come alive at this time, and began to show a trace of brilliance.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Xue Li, Tark and Adolf watched directly and unabashedly.

As for Richard, who is a werewolf, he is a little farther away.

Probably because of the nature of the race, there is always a feeling of inexplicable displeasure between orcs and elves.

Since the formation of the army, Arthur Wang's elven troops and Richard's double-knife wolf warriors have restrained each other, so there has been no quarrel, but that's all.

They are consciously keeping their distance from each other so as not to cause anything unpleasant.

Now, however, Richard's eyes were looking this way with curiosity.

At this point, Xue Li and them are the same, but they look more careless.

A drop of cold sweat slowly slipped down from the corner of his forehead, and being watched by a group of guys like this, Arthur Wang was really a little uncomfortable.

In the end, he simply said bluntly: "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Elven King, what are you doing now?"

Xue Li stared at the wind system demon core that exuded brilliance, and then asked with a curious expression.

In this regard, Arthur Wang simply explained to them after thinking about it.

"I'm now replenishing the mana on my sword."

While speaking, Arthur Wang unhurriedly talked to everyone about some characteristics of magic weapons and magic cores.

As mentioned before, after the mana contained in the demon core is exhausted, even if it is left alone, it will absorb the elements in the surrounding air that match its own attributes and replenish its mana.

But this process of natural recovery is undoubtedly very long.

Of course, this recovery speed is also related to the quality of the core itself, as well as the intensity of the elements in the air.

If you throw it directly into the warehouse where the Wind Crystal is hoarded, the recovery speed will be at least twice as fast, or even more.

Of course, the price of doing so is that many wind magic crystals will lose their quality after being sucked away of mana, which can be said to be a ruin.

Last time, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the wood elves, Arthur Wang consumed the mana in the demon core.

Until now, it has been a month or two in the past, but the mana hoarded in the demon core has only returned to the level of a storm technique.

Thinking about the next battle, Arthur Wang felt the need to speed up his recovery a little, and he had to give him two Storm Spells at the same time.

To do this, he needs to use some special means in addition to natural recovery.

And this special method, to put it bluntly, is to take the initiative to instill wind mana into the demon core.

Find a wind mage or a wind crystal, and then infuse the corresponding wind mana directly into the core, which is what he is doing now.

After listening to this explanation, Xue Li's face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

As for what he realized, only they know.
