Eastern part of the Elven Kingdom.

In the sparsely vegetated desert, an army is stationed beneath the ground.

Elves with blood-colored eyes and even reddish hair are moving underground.

This land, which has almost no vegetation, is a place that the elven kingdom does not know is disgusted by the elves.

In the past, even the Blood Tree Elves, who were more aggressive in character and action, were reluctant to come to this barren area.

Not to mention stationing and building a city in such a place.

But, in essence, the elves are not incapable of doing it.

Thick, sturdy roots begin with low vegetation that is not obvious on the surface, and spread rapidly below the ground.

Reaching beneath the surface, this underground city formed by the interlacing of countless roots and tendrils, the fruit-like tubers can also provide food for a large number of elves.

The elves' ability to fight foreign wars is not weak.

Relying on the well-developed root systems of these special plants, the elves were able to easily build a city underground.

Even in the face of a force like Gunsun, which is good at underground prospecting and fighting, it has full combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, in the era of the Elven King, how could the elves occupy a huge territory dozens of times the territory of the current kingdom?

A Blood Elf soldier of the Blood Tree Legion was rubbing the weapon in his hand, feeling the Blood Tree weapon that seemed to stab its roots and branches like sharp arrows and spears at any time and anywhere because of his call, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After a short rest, he turned around and walked towards the very center of the underground city.

At the end of his line of sight, a slender and tall Blood Elf male was talking to the two regiment commanders under his command.

He knew, who it was.

The commander of this Blood Tree Legion, Wibir, known as the "Scarlet Thorn".

As if sensing his gaze, he looked in the opposite direction:

"Ostas, you're late."

Clenching the spear-like weapon in his hand, the Blood Elf did not respond directly, but asked:

"Legion Commander, are we really going to attack the Dragon's Nest Country?"

Hearing this, it was not only the corps commander Wilbier, but like him, the other two corps commanders also looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to know, why did we choose to attack the Dragon Nest Country at this time?"

Ostas shifted the spear of blood branches in his left hand to his right hand, and stretched out his left hand, which had a faint twig character:

"I don't understand."

It's been less than a month since the establishment of the Blood Tree Legion, and the first operational order turned out to be to attack the Dragon Nest Country?

He understood the hatred of countless elves from top to bottom of the Elven Kingdom towards the Dragon Empire.

If the Dragon Empire was not above the sea, not isolated overseas, perhaps the Elven Kingdom would have already had a war record against the Dragon Empire.

"Why else, the Dragon Nest Country is the fortress arranged by the Dragon Empire on the edge of the kingdom, it is obvious that the purpose of the Dragon Empire is not just to slaughter the mountains and then leave after looting all the resources, but really intends to settle in the mountains."

】

The tall Legion Commander Wilbier, with a pair of long, narrow blood-colored eyes, stared at Ostas:

"Tell me, my Commander of Ostas, are you judging as the commander of the Dragon Hunters? Think the Dragon's Nest Country can't be a frontline base for dragons to launch an offensive against the kingdom's front? ”

Possibly, of course it could be -

If the Dragon's Lair is really under the rule of the Dragon Empire, if the "tyrant" of the Dragon's Lair is really a Dragon Duke.

Ostas did not respond.

He didn't have any doubts about attacking the Dragon's Nest Country.

What Wilbier, the Legion Commander, said, he also knew.

There was no offensive action before, firstly, because of the constraints of the conservative main defense faction of the kingdom's domestic army, and secondly, as the other party said, because it was uncertain how long the "tyrant" of the Dragon's Nest Kingdom would stay in the mountains, and whether he would leave immediately after destroying the mountains.

Now attacking, on the one hand, the establishment of the Bloodtree Legion can almost completely avoid the constraints of the conservative faction, and on the other hand, it has been roughly determined that the "tyrant" does not intend to leave the mountains, but really intends to settle in the mountains.

What he really questioned was why it was this time – this season.

Now it is only a few months before the arrival of winter, and the wave of the undead.

If it was just after the end of the wave, the Blood Tree Legion immediately launched an offensive against the Dragon Nest Country, he would not question it.

Also, why is there only one legion of them.

Although he wasn't sure about this, he was also the commander of the Third Blood Tree Legion, one of the supreme commanders under the legion leader, and if there were other legions to cooperate, he should also know the information.

If he didn't tell him, then there was a high probability that there were no other legions, or the content of the battle was so secret that he couldn't know about it.

However, he did not voice these doubts.

He could think of the answer that the other party would give, most likely "You wouldn't have thought that we would attack at this time, so the Dragon Nest Kingdom wouldn't have thought either", or "Just act according to the order" or something like that.

"So, what are our strategic goals?"

Aostas asked the only question he could probably tell, and then looked at the other man, waiting for an answer.

The other two corps commanders also looked at Corps Commander Wilbel.

At this time, Wilbier glanced at them, and after a brief pause on Ostath, he knocked on the wooden table beside him, and the wooden texture on it seeped in with the blood-colored vitality, forming a map.

That is, the mountains..... No..... Map of the Dragon's Nest Country.

Wilbir pointed to a place between the desert and the sea of trees—a huge canyon formed by a fracture between the Minions Mountains on either side......

..... Big or small, this is indeed a canyon.

"Our goal is to break down the city and occupy both ends of the Minion Mountains."

Whether it is against the enemy on the ground or against the enemy in the sky, the commanding heights of the mountains and peaks are indeed the focus.

It's just that......

"What if the 'tyrant' arrives?"

Ostas's inquiry rang out again.

The Captain of the Willbir Legion in front of him was indeed very powerful, but no matter what, he should not be able to compare to the King of the Mountains or even the King of the Fortress, let alone a tyrant who could kill the King of the Mountains.

Even if according to reliable information, the other party is seriously injured, it is impossible to ignore the strength of the other party.

Hearing this, Legion Commander Wilbier narrowed his eyes:

"When the 'tyrant' comes, we will retreat."

Hearing this, Ostas's heart was even more strange and confused.

However, before he could continue to ask, the other party's voice sounded again:

"You guys, you don't have any other questions, do you?"

With the sound of the voice, the blood-colored vitality emerged from Wilbier's body, and at this moment, the blood-branched spear in Ostas's hand seemed to come to life, as if to respond to Wibir's power.

Clenching his spear, Osteras could only reply with a echoing response:

"Understood."
