As soon as he discovered the enemy's tracks, Ezio had people report back to the base camp on the march through the forum.

And the Twin Griffons, under his command, quickly reconnoitred the number and distribution of the enemy around the column.

Judging by the results, the situation is very unpromising...... It had been three hours since Ezio had seen the first enemy when he jumped straight down from the Twin Griffins and used the skills of the Sky Knight to reach the base camp where the makeshift tent had been set up.

It took so much time not for nothing, just because there were too many enemies and they were too widely distributed. During the scouting process, Ezio also made regular returns.

With each report of 'under investigation' and part of the investigation results being sent to the old Kavi Gong, the mood of the officers in the base camp also dropped a little.

During the scouting, it was said that the Twin Griffins had not yet seen the full picture of the enemy. And some of the information that was sent back through the forum in advance was enough to make the most determined fighters break out in a cold sweat.

In the face of such a disadvantage, it is impossible for people to be completely emotionless, the difference is only that this emotion will become a help or resistance to action.

The people who can be selected into the base camp by the old Kavey Gong may have maverick personalities, but none of them will be casually defeated.

So everyone is waiting for exact intelligence. Not only the Twin Griffins, but also the airships around the base camp all received the same order to spy on the enemy!

And the army where the base camp was located stopped advancing and turned to a defensive posture. Ezio's twin griffons are the fastest, and with the Eye of the Arcane, which has undergone several revisions, its spotting abilities are among the best of all airships.

So he was also the first to bring back complete information, and at the first time, projected it in the military tent of the base camp.

However, after looking at the distribution and number of enemies on the map, and even a few close-up photos of the enemies, the silence of the crowd escalated into a dead silence.

It is true that there are short individuals among the orcs, but these emaciated orcs will have some special abilities in order to survive in this race with a harsh growth environment.

However, the person who is about the waist of a normal person and is as strong as a stone is definitely not a half-orc, but another mainstream race of the land - dwarves.

But of course, the dwarves on the surface cannot be mixed with demons and orcs, and these dwarves are bound to be close relatives of the surface dwarves who live underground, the notorious gray dwarves.

Uncivilized humans among humans are called barbarians, uncivilized elves among elves are wood elves affiliated with the World Tree, and uncivilized goblins have no alias, but are definitely the least popular Homo sapiens creatures.

It can be seen from this that the uncivilized tribes are not necessarily synonymous with primitive and barbaric, but rather that these uncivilized tribes are relatively backward compared to their culturally prosperous counterparts.

Backwardness means that they may maintain some primitive vices. The Grey Dwarves are the uncivilized part of the entire dwarven population.

It's not that these short, foul-tempered men are deliberately living in the underworld; It's just occupying one ore vein after another, refusing to leave until the resources are exhausted.

The dwarves on the surface know how to trade with other races for what they need each other, and because of the need for trade, their contact with other races is relatively gentle.

Therefore, in the choice of settlement, it is not a simple choice of location close to the vein, but more considerations.

However, the Grey Dwarves are more accustomed to plundering their needs other than minerals.

Although robbery or all kinds of abduction and deception are nothing new in the deluded land, there are indeed not many people who can accept the whole ethnic group with such virtue.

Therefore, the gray dwarves were united by the human world, and they were crushed to the underground world, unable to make any big waves.

Now such a grudge can be regarded as allowing the gray dwarves to find the most appropriate time to break out! In addition to the scalp-numbing forces that were coming towards him, Ezio also found a number of locations and attacked the army hiding underground.

I don't know if these are improvised underground caves, or simply the entrances and exits of the underground world.

Or maybe it's true that the underworld is underneath, but the entrances and exits are newly dug up.

All of this proves that the Grey Dwarves are truly superior in their ability to dig pits. And it also points out a blind spot in airship reconnaissance - underground.

As a group of young staff officers angrily criticized the heavily relied airship unit for not spotting the enemy underground, Ezio laughed angrily.

He slammed his fist on the marching table, and the makeshift table jumped and became crooked.

Someone wanted to open his mouth to curse, but when he looked over, he realized that the person in front of him was not a soldier who usually sent out to investigate, but a man with the title of general.

In particular, he can still fight alone against the airship powerhouse without dying, which proves that he accounts for at least one of the two of luck or strength.

Not to mention that Ezio himself is a great martial artist, not a petty officer who can be called around. The 'staff officers' of the lost land are far less authoritative than the staff officers under the system imitated by various countries after the establishment of the staff headquarters in the independent country in World War II.

At this time, their identities can only be regarded as the staff of the old Kavey Gong, the commander of the coalition forces. Such a person, in the face of the generals of the front-line troops, don't say that they have no confidence.

If he was killed because he offended the other party, he wouldn't even say a word. This group of young people is not necessarily from the Gwana Empire, but they are all recommended to come, or discovered by the old Kavi Gong himself, a group of young people with flexible minds.

Their wish is to be assigned to the front line and lead a team to make a difference. Staying in the base camp as a staff officer is just a way to show your abilities.

Of course, it is impossible for such a person to really offend a powerful general. Even if this general is younger than them, he can't help but be able to fight!

Commanding a squadron under Ezio was one of the best places they could see. Because they were trapped in the encirclement network, they quickly regained their composure after the wordless warning given by such a person.

The crowd began to discuss the possible developments. It is impossible to attack. The idea of eating the scattered opponents one by one while the enemy has not yet completed the encirclement network is like treating the soldier as a perpetual motion machine with unlimited physical strength.

Quickly march to break the enemy, then march quickly again and break the enemy again. Such an act had to be repeated several times, and it would have to be done in another day, so as to defeat an enemy who was several times his own and had the intention of encircling him, which was impossible in this era of cold weapons that walked on two legs.

Therefore, the Chinese army led by the old Kaveh father-in-law actually has only two choices. One guards, the other breaks through. Breakouts are divided into two directions.

One is to rush forward and join up with the departing troops in front of them in an attempt to regain numerical superiority. The troops in front were only a day's journey away from them, and if they forced the march to slow down, it would not be impossible to catch up.

Even if there is an enemy in the middle, there is a chance to cooperate with the previous troops and launch a flanking attack to crush the enemy.

The other direction is to retreat, retreat back to the supply camp, or even retreat back to the defensive line south of the Wind Emperor Mountains.

But it's hard to get there. What about returning to the supply camp, even if you don't take into account the enemy's ability to prevent you from retreating, and spend more than a day back to the camp?

The supply camp was not fully defensively operated, at best it was a staging post rather than a fortress.

As for climbing over the mountains and retreating to the south of the mountains, it would be even more ridiculous. Most of the troops are in the state of the north of the mountain, and the commander of himself wants to escape first?

If this comes true, then I won't have to lead troops to fight in the future. So no matter how young the young people of that group of staff officers are, in fact, there are only two options in front of the old Kavey.

First, rush forward; Second, defend on the spot. In addition to deciding on the movements of the Chinese army, the elder Kavigong also quickly issued orders to other troops.

Everyone is given a warning, and they are asked to reconnoiter their surroundings to confirm the enemy's situation.

The troops closest to him were ordered to turn around and merge with their belongings. The reason why it was not an order to turn back was because instead of disrupting the pace of all troops and letting them fall into the trap of the enemy, it was better to trust the commander of each army.

The warnings previously given were sufficient, and there was no need to order indiscriminately and overwhelm the crowd. Although the enemy's layout is very much like a copy of the previous defeat of the Southern Front of the Sulitan Empire.

Lure the enemy deeper, then encircle and annihilate. But in the eyes of old Kavey, there is still a fundamental difference.

In the previous defeat, the coalition forces of the Southern Front were actually pinning their hopes on the main forces of the two khans of the Sulitan Empire to flank the enemy, and they themselves were just taking advantage.

Unexpectedly, the main force of the Khan King did not move, and his own group of miscellaneous troops became the main target of the enemy. Only then did the two eyes that were beaten burst into stars, and few living people could escape back.

However, this time, the army led by the old Kawi Gong was the main battle legion composed of the Gwana Empire as the backbone.

The strength is not the same as the ragtag army that defeated at the beginning. To put it simply, even though he was not holding a regular Imperial legion, the old Kavi Gong still had the confidence to touch the enemy.

The people who were incorporated by him into the Chinese army, even if not all of them could be strong with one enemy and one hundred, they would definitely not be underestimated by the enemy.

So he quickly decided on a course. Considering the results of the surrounding terrain that the Twin Gryphon had scouted back from, there was no terrain conducive to defense, so he simply did not run.

Everyone defended on the spot and built a position. Instead of wasting physical strength and forcing a march, and then engaging the enemy, you can count on a quick breakdown of the opponent and then merge with other troops.

It's better to turn yourself into a decoy existence, attract the enemy, and then let other troops eat away from the outside.

In short, it is not to fight field battles with the enemy. When prepared, old Kavi Gong had the confidence to deal with an enemy several times his size.

Although the airship unit did not discover the enemy's hidden whereabouts, it was already a great achievement to be able to discover the enemy's encirclement network in advance.

If an enemy is only detected when they are in sight, it will be too late. Now, there's still a chance!
