As more and more information flowed in, an atmosphere of tragedy began to permeate the elves.

Yes, no one is optimistic about the upcoming battle.

As old rivals, the elves have of course also thought of some tactical ways to restrain the centaurs. After all, the mobility difference between the two sides is too great, even if it is a full cavalry, there is still a gap between it and the four legs brought by others.

The elves found the best way to restrain themselves was to use the fortress group to deploy small forces to delay the enemy's mobility, and then encircle and suppress the large army.

But to do that, a very flexible command and dispatch system is required. In the past, when the commander's mind was smooth, relying on the convenience of the communication magic array, except for the first time when the Centaur Coalition appeared and entered the hinterland of the World Tree, they fought on the border line of the Pyathaime Kingdom at most.

The so-called victory or defeat is just a matter of which side has more casualties. Like the previous king, because of the mourning of his wife, he strayed into a trap and was severely pitted, and finally his life was lost, which can be regarded as the biggest loss on the elf side since the confrontation between the elves and the centaurs.

However, this record could be broken this time......

Because of the strength and divinity of the World Tree, most of the intruders were weakened before they could start fighting. In such a place, of course, no decent fortifications will be built. It can also be said that this environment looks like other places, but it is more conducive to the defending side. This is also the reason why the Shenmu Guard does not need too many people to protect the World Tree.

But as long as you encounter an enemy that can suppress the power of the World Tree, it is like a lamb that can't resist meets a big bad wolf.

Now that the outer defense system has not played a role, allowing the centaur coalition to drive straight in, the elves only have two half-crippled armies in their hands. And whether one of them can be used or not is still a question.

Such a force has to defend the undefended World Tree, and the opponent is still a strong army known for its mobility. And according to the intelligence, the other party has about 2,000 people, four times the size of their own, which makes the elves feel desperate.

If you follow the existing tactics of the elves, use the world tree as a support point for defense. Neighboring forces began to gather, and when they reached a certain size, they outflanked the centaurs, trapped the bandits, and then exterminated them. After all, a small force approached from the rear of the centaurs, and it was just a waste of life.

In other words, it will be three days before the Centaurs can be gathered to gather reinforcements that will be threatening to the centaurs......

Did you survive three days? Not many elves have confidence, but no one has said a single word of 'retreat'. In such a depressing atmosphere, they spent the night preparing for a war with no chance of winning. I only hope that before my own casualties are exhausted, I can inflict serious enough losses on the centaurs, so that the opponent's flesh hurts so much that they take the initiative to retreat.

According to Pushkin, the kingdom's intelligence minister, the Shenmu Guard, including the three elders and the two transcendents who had died, showed no signs of colluding with the centaurs. They were just forced to start a wrong civil war at the wrong time.

As for why I say 'forced', it's because if it weren't for Riena? Titov directly upset people in public, forcing the Shenmu Guards to have no room to turn around, and maybe they can't go this far.

And the Master Assassin Vasily? Petrovich's loss and death was also a crucial turning point.

In this regard, Fen curiously asked someone why he didn't continue to admit cowardice as usual and spare the other party's life.

"It's a transcendent who does it, right?"

Fen nodded.

"If I hadn't killed him, what was the chance that he would have apologized and then let things go?"

Fin was speechless. You don't have to think about it to know it's impossible. A person who can transcend the level of life by his own efforts is not a person who is arrogant. Apologize? Inexistent. Tou Tie's insistence on his own ideas is what these people can do. Unless you encounter a person who is strong enough to suppress people to the ground today, it is possible for such people to calmly accept the ideas of others.

"That is to say, if I don't kill him, the elves on both sides will have a chance to sit down and talk. And the end result is very likely to be at the insistence of the assassin, and both sides choose to abandon me as a pawn. Then the enemy changed from two transcendents plus three druid elders, to the same five elven powerhouses, and an additional six hundred to seven hundred, elven veterans who were accustomed to the military formation attacked from both sides. ”

"Is it necessary to be so pessimistic?"

"It's always been my practice to think about the worst-case scenario and then think about how to avoid it. Because I don't believe in my own luck, I bet that I don't have to work hard to meet the luckiest situation. If I don't want to deal with all the elves in the room at the same time while one of them is torn apart, the best thing to do is to not give both sides a chance to sit down and talk and cooperate. Anyway, I'm going to do it first, but the one on the other side isn't what I want to get to this point. ”

The lich simply shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. This kind of thinking of a little person, probably this guy will never change in his life.

"And what's next? Watching a play? Or hands-on? ”

"We're here, is it possible to stay out of it?"

"It's hard. When we really fight, the sword has no eyes, and if we don't see a centaur and say that we are human, the other party will jump over us and not cut us. ”

"If you want to leave now, it should be too late. Forget it if you run alone, I can't stand throwing it away again. And morally, they're going to end up in this situation, and I'm more or less responsible. Well, it's just a little bit. ”

Although it was because of his own appearance that the king came to the World Tree, which led to subsequent development. If not, the World Tree Avatar would have been wiped out again without anyone noticing. However, someone is still very small, and the family is more or less angry.

"So, you're going to intervene?"

"It depends, they don't necessarily need our help."

"I think if we don't help, they're going to die. You don't see the whole inside of the camp, it's like you're preparing for a funeral. ”

The two of them stood side by side, chatting casually, and walked towards the command tent, which was running at full speed. The guards guarding the doorway tried to stop the two of them. Lin didn't talk much nonsense, and in a flash, he passed the guards and walked inside. Seeing this, Fen immediately followed.

The two magicians suddenly disappeared from front of them, and the elven guards were like dazzled, and they were still at a loss for a while, and hurriedly looked around, looking for the figures of the two people. When they found that the two magicians had entered the tent and wanted to catch up and drive them out, the young king, who also found them, stretched out his hand to stop the guards.

In the next war, they need everything they can to help. Of the elves rescued from the God Butcher Magic Array, only more than thirty people are still alive. And most people, even if they use magic and potions to help, need time to recuperate before they can return to their full state. Even if the elves who can still move are forced to participate in the war, there are only fourteen of them, and the rest are burdensome.

mutinied, but the surviving Shenmu Guards were allowed to make meritorious contributions and get back their own weapons and equipment. But what makes people angry is that the resurrection potions and various potions stored in the World Tree have already consumed a lot in that civil war of the Shenmu Guards that no outsiders know about.

It turns out that the tradition of erasing the consciousness of the World Tree has been an act that has been in place since the establishment of the kingdom in the past, and it is carried out every hundred years. And during this hundred years, the elves of the Shenmu Guard will regularly take the initiative to donate blood. Perhaps donating blood will not have resentment in it, but it is enough to inspire the ancient resentful spirits who have been imprisoned in the magic circle for a long time, so that they can exert their ability to wear down the consciousness of the World Tree.

If nothing happens, the blood collected in a hundred years is enough to wipe out the newly germinated and ignorant World Tree consciousness.

But the royal family who came here to receive the blessing, the little princess Valeria didn't know how to do it, and actually made the consciousness of the World Tree concretize, appearing in the eyes of a very small number of people in the form of a kitten. The most important thing is that the incarnation of this world tree actually has wisdom. Although it is not high, it is not easy to destroy.

In order to wipe out the consciousness of the World Tree once again, the three elders decided to perform sacrifices and greatly activate the power of the God Slaughter Magic Array.

But not all members of the Shenmu Guard agree with such a thing, especially the young elves who have not experienced these things and are new to the guard. Not only to obliterate the consciousness of the World Tree, but also because they had to hunt living people for sacrifice.

So within the Shenmu Guard, a civil war broke out. The losers, the elves who opposed the obliteration of the World Tree's consciousness, were eventually hung above the magic circle and bled out, becoming a fuel to push them for what they were unwilling to do.

Many precious secret elixirs were also consumed in that civil war. Although the druids who accompany the army can do it for them, a big battle can be expected tomorrow. If you collapse all the resurrection druids today, what will you do tomorrow?

You must know how much magic can be used by the mages or druids who accompany the army on the battlefield, and what kind of magic can be used, are strictly controlled. Being able to maximize the potential of his subordinates is one of the criteria for judging whether a general is excellent. So the Minister of War knew very well what he could do with the power in his hands.

Of course, being able to use and pressing to the limit are two different concepts. And all kinds of potions are used to increase the magic use limit of an army. Therefore, there is still a distance between the army with a solid family background and the poor, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides.

The main material of the resurrection potion is the leaves of the World Tree, which is true, but it does not mean that as long as there are leaves of the World Tree, the dead can be resurrected. It also requires a lot of auxiliary materials and a cumbersome production process to make the potion have a resurrection effect. If the body is somewhat incomplete, it is inevitable to repair it in advance.

It can be said that two civil wars that should not have happened have put the elven side in a predicament that is difficult to break free. Now their attitude is very simple, that is, to put it to death and not to live. No elves want to go back alive, they only think about how to take one more enemy with them before they die. To win the war, each elf had to kill five or six centaurs before they died.
