【You have won this defensive battle】

【Have obtained the item "Silver Treasure Chest]*1]

The invasion ended just after the seven-day period arrived, and it seemed that the other side had taken the initiative to retreat.

However, it will take a few more days for the next report from the white wolf to be confirmed.

The follow-up report from Lu Longsai's side was quickly delivered, and after reading the content, Xia Qi immediately became interested in that dwarf civilization.

All in all, Xia Qi was already thinking about this dwarf civilization.

However, it's not so easy to kill, or capture the opposing player.

Take Dunk Joseph, for example, seeing that the situation is not good, he hides more than anyone else.

Although his goblin civilization was pressed to the ground by Xia Qi's invading army, Dunk Joseph himself has been in a relatively safe environment throughout the process.

At this point, on the side of the dwarven civilization, it is obviously the same.

If he wants to annex the dwarven civilization, then it is not enough to fight the other side, he must make the other party unavoidable.

So, he needs to start a full-scale war.

However, this is not so easy to do.

Dwarven civilization is a hard nut, there's no doubt about that.

In the previous invasion battle, the other party probably only showed a part of its strength.

After all, it is the first time for the two to play each other, and it is impossible for players of this rank to bring all their hole cards as soon as they come up.

Therefore, Xia Qi had to fight an invasion battle first and touch the bottom of the other party.

And he must also be prepared to pull foreign aid once he can't beat it.

Once the other party pulls in foreign aid, it will undoubtedly complicate Xia Qi's overall plan.

These factors need to be carefully considered.

After all, there is no time limit for all-out war.

One wrong step may push his current stable situation directly in the worst direction!

"Then let's fight a long invasion battle first, and feel the strength and terrain pattern of that dwarven civilization."

Xia Qi was not conceited enough to feel that he was able to catch and abuse anyone in the Silver Rank, and the reason why he was able to ravage Dunk Joseph was because his army had just managed to restrain the Goblin army.

If this is a different player, maybe Xia Qi feels that it is difficult to fight, but Dunk Joseph can rely on the crowd tactics to disgust the other party.

The other side.

The Romanov, who ended the invasion war, also found the golden rank boss who named himself, and then said that he had tried his best, but failed, so you better go to someone else.

After receiving this news, the Golden Rank player was immediately shocked.

He had always been very relieved about the strength of the Romanovs, so after handing over the support of Dunk Joseph to the Romanovs, he did not pay attention to this side again.

Who would have thought that this would be the end result?

At the same time, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

After all, the Romanovs and Dunk Joseph did not agree, and almost the entire Union knew about it.

Could it be that for this reason, the Romanovs just casually perfunctory this matter?

Of course, this kind of thing must not be asked directly.

After a little deliberation, he sent this message.

"That Huaxia player is really strong? Even you can't deal with him? ”

Although Romanov has always shown himself as a rough man, his own personality is actually very delicate, and after seeing this news, he immediately noticed the temptation.

He spat out the innermost tobacco foam with a "puff" and began to think about how to reply.

Speaking from the heart, this time to deal with Xia Qi, there is actually some perfunctory in it.

After all, there is no need to lose a lot of troops and all kinds of resources for a guy who doesn't like the eye.

Especially under the premise that the strength of that Chinese player is very good.

So after thinking for a moment, Romanov explained: "That Huaxia player has a very strong orc class, as well as a mage army. And their bows and arrows can fly very far, and they can directly burst my hot air balloons in the air. And also has artillery. ”

Listening to what Romanov said, this Golden Rank player of the Apocalypse Alliance couldn't say anything more, and after briefly appeasing Romanov, he ended the conversation.

Then I couldn't help but start to have a headache, and without support, I don't know if Nadunk Joseph will make any more trouble.

I really can't do it, so I can only abandon this guy.

Who let him stand up for such a hard bone that is not easy to fight, but his popularity in the alliance is still so bad?

But then again, this whole incident seems to have been provoked by a player named Andretov in the league.

Then, the Apocalypse and the Heaven and Earth Alliance, which had only been in truce for a few years, fought fiercely again.

Gold rank players who have a little understanding of the ins and outs of this whole thing only feel that their brains are getting more and more messed up.

On the other side, Xia Qi was also preparing to invade the Romanovs for the first time.

[The Chinese player "Xia Qi" has launched an invasion against you]

"Poof! Ahem......"

Romanov spat out the wine in his mouth in one gulp, and even because he vomited so quickly, a lot of wine squirted directly out of his nose.

After a violent cough, his face had become very ugly.

He shouldn't have agreed to help Dunk Joseph in the first place, isn't he hated by others?

In Romanoff's view, the reason why Xia Qi invaded him was entirely because he had helped Dunk Joseph before.

In fact, it is true, if it weren't for the previous invasion war, Xia Qi would not have discovered his special civilization.

But complaining is complaining, but Romanov did not panic because of this.

He did lose the invasion battle before, but in the battle to defend the city, as the side defending the city, he has an advantage, and if the other party thinks that he will eat him if he wins a defense battle on his home field, it is purely thinking too much.

-------------------------------------

Xia Qi has always sought stability in his work, just like when he invaded Dunk Joseph before, he was already able to press the opposite side to the ground and rub it wantonly, but in every invasion battle, he still went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, just to avoid any unexpected situations.

In this invasion war, he did not come with a mentality of eating the other party, but more of a temptation.

At this time, he was holding the telescope in his hand, carefully observing the terrain in front of him, as well as the city in the distance.

The terrain he was in now was a hilly terrain with undulating heights, and the regular cavalry units would definitely be affected.

Fortunately, considering the risk of unknown terrain, in this invasion battle, Xia Qi's main force still brought orc troops that could basically adapt to various terrains.

The Minotaur Warriors, Rhino Infantry and Boar Men Infantry were the spearheads, supplemented by the Kobold Spearmen, plus two large war units, the Elephant Warriors and the War Elephants, to form this main force.

On the back row of troops, it is composed of elven archer troops, elven priest troops, and goblin crossbow troops.

As for the siege troops, in addition to the eight-ox crossbow and catapult, Xia Qi also brought five cannons out to breathe the wind.

He felt that the artillery attack on the heavy infantry should be more effective than the eight-ox crossbow and catapult.

On the second day of the invasion, Xia Qi's first offensive was officially launched.

At the sound of the horn of the attack, the large ordnance of both sides opened fire wildly, and the main force continued to rush forward amid the roar of artillery fire.

On the opposite side of the dwarven border city stood on the wall of the dwarven musketeer, and the dense gunfire was directly connected.

With the help of the vision provided by the telescope, Xia Qi, who had already been mentally prepared, carefully observed the guns in the hands of those dwarf soldiers.

In terms of appearance, it is a typical rifle shape, and the development progress has clearly crossed the arquebus stage to the point of flintlock pistol.

The musket, a weapon, at this stage, has already shown its due threat.

However, Xia Qi did not panic, his front row of troops were all carefully selected, either equipped with excellent armor or equipped with heavy shields.

It can effectively defend against flying projectiles, which greatly reduces the threat of these attacks.

Relying only on a force of musketeers with flintlock muskets, there was no way to defeat him.

Romanov naturally knew in his heart that it was naturally easy to bully the natives with a flintlock pistol, but in the face of the player, it was impossible to do whatever he wanted with a flintlock pistol alone.

So, while he has a dwarven musketeer unit, he actually uses a melee infantry unit as the main combat force of his dwarven civilization.

The rhino infantry and elephant warriors braved the fire all the way to the dwarven city on the opposite side.

Seeing that the giant unit on the opposite side was approaching the city gate, the defending generals of this dwarven city obviously did not intend to sit idly by.

The gates were raised, the roar of cannons resounded across the battlefield, and one of the rhino infantry who rushed to the front was hit on the spot by the flying cannonball.

His huge body was directly blasted out.

Obviously, the opposite side also used a cannon to block the door.

A round of shelling directly caused obvious casualties to Xia Qi's front platoon troops.

Then, while the cannons were cooling, the dwarven musketeers in a neat formation began to attack.

The opposing side used the classic early line-up tactic, with rows of dwarven musketeers taking turns firing and suppressing the invading army's army in a barrage of bullets.

After the distance was shortened to a certain point, the dwarven musketeer troops retreated decisively, and the dwarven heavy infantry waiting on both sides resolutely slaughtered and collided with the orc army that had killed them!

The situation became chaotic for a moment, and the rhythm of the orc army seemed to be disrupted by the rounds of firearm attacks.

Xia Qi, who realized the change in the situation, immediately went to the battlefield and commanded the battle.

In terms of arranging troops, the orc army is far inferior to the human army, but Xia Qi's five-star command level still fully demonstrates his dominance over his army at this moment.

With the sound of war drums, the orc army, which had been a little chaotic, regained its stability, and at the same time formed a formation that was quite passable.

The combat effectiveness of the dwarven side defending the city was even stronger than Xia Qi expected.

Those dwarves seemed to be short, but the exaggerated muscles on their bodies were not fake, and their strength was amazing.

In a head-to-head fight with the minotaur warriors under his command, he was completely defeated.

Seeing this, Xia Qi immediately signaled the orc army that was preparing to storm to withdraw from the city gate area for the time being.

In a battle based on finding out the details of the other party, Xia Qi obviously wouldn't fight too hard.

Prioritizing the preservation of his own forces and seeking victory while gathering enemy intelligence is basically his current policy.

In the following days of fighting, the dwarven defenders decisively used explosives packs.

According to Xia Qi's judgment, the other party's gunpowder and the gunpowder currently assembled by the Great Xia army are very different in terms of power.

However, the range and power of his cannon are significantly stronger than those of his side.

If the cannon of Great Xia is also improved to this stage, not to mention the Eight Bull Crossbow, the catapult will definitely be eliminated.

After all, it is a dwarf civilization, and they have absolute talent in the research and development of firearms.

If Xia Qi hadn't had the scientific and technological power of Xia Fox, an ordnance master, and the goblin clan, it was estimated that he would have been thrown off a lot.
