Chapter 132 What is War below
A pale golden curtain of light spread around Nolan, enveloping the entire battlefield in an instant, and although it did not completely dispel the will of the forest, it also weakened it to the point that it was half lower than normal. Although Nolan's magic spell could only last for an hour, an hour was too much for Richard.
Looking at the enemy who had chased and killed him all the way, a faint smile appeared on Richard's lips, and the murderous aura was fleeting. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed forward, and the army immediately advanced, turning into a torrent of steel and rolling past him!
The number of the two sides is roughly equal, and the average level of the mutant elves is more than Richard's army, if there is an advantage, it is that Richard has an all-round advantage in the strong, and even if the level is equal or even slightly lower, relying on sophisticated equipment, Richard's knights can completely defeat their opponents in a one-on-one situation. The biggest advantage of the mutant elves' side, the comprehensive suppression of the will of the forest, was offset by Nolan at this moment. The other half, at least at the forefront, was offset by the Holy Unicorn. As the knights rushed towards the mutant elves, teams of mages and priests continued to cast various buffs on them, and each knight who rushed to the front line had at least one buff on them.
If we talk about advantages, Richard's greatest advantage is that he commands an army, and his opponents are nothing more than a pack of ferocious beasts.
Counteracting the suppression of the will of the forest, Richard's ability to command on the battlefield was fully brought into play.
The army of forward swoops is like a dilated petal, branching out into seven petals that expand forward in a fan-shape. At the tip of each petal, the Constructed Knights, the elite Darkblade Knights, the Darkblade Knights, the Royal Guards and the Iron-Blooded Duke warriors are all in order, and the formation is not chaotic at all. A large number of knights in the construction form a sharp edge, easily chiseling through the line of the mutant elves, and the follow-up warriors and knights will attack the opponent layer by layer, expanding the breakthrough, and then the warriors behind will begin to harvest the mutant elves that have been washed away.
In the forest sea, it was originally not suitable for large-scale corps operations. But under Richard's meticulous command, the ancient trees, far from being an obstacle, became natural fortresses and fortifications. Small independent troops came and went on the battlefield, attacking in and out, constantly dividing out a local mutant elf, encircling and annihilating them in one fell swoop, and then dividing the next batch after killing them all. This time, Richard came prepared, and the toxins and acids of the mutant elves were almost useless in front of the sophisticated magic armor.
In the fierce battle, a swarthy mutant elf was crouching on a tree. It did not participate in the battle, but looked down on the battlefield with its third eye on its forehead. In the forest camp behind, the elders of the various tribes of the guardian elves and the black-robed people all looked at the magical images in front of them. Every qiē that the mutant elf saw would be shown in the magic image.
At this moment, a close-up is playing in the magic video, and a mutant elf suddenly bites on the arm of a dark-edged knight, only to leave a few tooth marks on the simple and heavy arm, but its sharp teeth are broken a lot. Then it sprayed another mouthful of foul acid on the Darkblade Knight's body, and the acid immediately eroded a large white foam! But an elite Darkblade Knight bypassed the side and slashed the head of the Guardian Elf, spurting blood that washed away the acid from the Darkblade Knight's armor. As a result, there was only an inconspicuous pit on the surface of the armor, and if you wanted to erode it, you had to spray it at least a dozen times.
The black-robed man was silent, but the elders who guarded the elves looked at each other uneasily. They never thought there would be such perverted armor, the green forest plane lacked metal. They never thought that the war could be fought like this!
One side is the army, the other is the herd, and what the outcome of the war will be, in the eyes of a real general, is already doomed from the beginning of the war. However, the final casualties were still unexpected. After more than half of the casualties, the mutant elves suddenly retreated. After the count, they left behind more than 4,000 corpses, while Richard's troops suffered only more than 100 casualties, more than half of them were ordinary soldiers, and the high-end combat power was almost intact.
This number caused the elders of the guardian elves to fall into silence for a long time, and the black-robed man was silent from beginning to end. It was a very real question before them, who would command, not to mention that they couldn't find a candidate, even if they had a suitable general, but the mutant elves were almost uncommanded, and their instinct-filled brains could only understand simple orders such as forward and backward at the moment.
After a brief cleanup of the battlefield, Richard buried the fallen warriors in the forest, and the army continued to advance into the depths of the forest. However, the Holy Unicorn broke away from the army and returned to the rear alone. About half a day later, a worker bee appeared on the edge of the battlefield and swooped down on the corpse of a mutant elf, dragging it towards the forest. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of worker bees poured into the battlefield, collecting all the corpses of mutant elves and guardian elves and sending them to the rear. The doppelganger of the brood was ten kilometers away at the moment and began to devour the corpses non-stop.
At this moment, in Richard's consciousness, the brood clone is constantly transmitting data, and the resolution of the guardian elves and mutant elves is constantly rising. The Guardian Elves have surpassed 300%, and the Mutant Elves have crossed the 100% mark and continue to climb.
Richard told the brood clones to continue eating, and then began a series of maneuvers of the army. He was going to teach the Guardian Elves another lesson what real war was.
Richard's army was still advancing steadily and firmly, and the warriors had become accustomed to the roaring explosions and the loud sound of ancient trees falling. Lin Hai was forcibly opened a pathway. Above the passage, even the suppression of the will of the forest showed signs of instability. Richard mobilized some of the Constructed Knights and the Darkblade Knights, and matched two hundred elites of Nereth and Agamemnon, leaving Elliejie to command the whole army, and then rushed into the forest with this super elite of five hundred.
With the priests of the Eternal Dragon Hall fighting against the will of the forest, and without the need to clear the ancient trees, this army marched extremely fast. After a few hours, they went hundreds of kilometers deeper, and they encountered a guardian elf army that included an ancient war tree and more than a dozen war tree people. Richard was unceremonious, pointed at his long knife, and took the lead in the enemy formation!
Almost one-sided slaughter!
Under the siege of Richard, Neris, Agamemnon, Splash and other perverted powerhouses, the ancient tree of war could not last long before it collapsed, and then the course of the war really turned into a massacre.
Moments later, only a dozen lucky ones managed to escape from the hundreds of guardian elves. After harvesting the Ancient Tree of War and the Heart of the War Tree Man, Richard led the troops who had just found some sensation and were full of murderous spirit to continue to move forward, and only returned to the large army after several large circles around him but found nothing.
The forest camp was dead silent, and the black-robed man could no longer maintain his calm, and the black qi that overflowed around him indicated that he was in a state of extreme rage. The magical image stops at the moment when the last two War Treants are besieged. This force was supposed to be one of the troops that went to the intended location to set up an ambush. The black-robed man came up with a plan for the ambush himself, because Richard's march route was almost a straight line, and even the goblins could predict the direction of his next move. Therefore, the black-robed man successively mobilized three groups of troops, preparing to assemble on the road that Richard must pass, and then set up an ambush, quietly waiting for Richard to enter the ambush circle.
As a result, it did not expect Richard to suddenly gather an elite and rush forward, only to encounter the first ambush force and annihilate it completely. In this way, the latter two troops do not need to be assembled. The black-robed man's ambush plan was stillborn.
The Guardian Elf elders were all silent, they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't know what to say. But the fact that the ancient tree of war in the magical image was simply slain made them secretly rise up with an unprecedented idea. Without the advantage of the will of the forest, will the forest camp be able to hold back Richard's army?
The black-robed man was also thinking about this question, and after a long time, he decided to move the forest camp and intercept Richard's army on the way.
In the days that followed, Lin Hai was still as noisy. Richard's army continued to advance at the same pace, and no matter what obstacles lay ahead, it would be completely bulldozed. In the roar of the explosion, countless ancient trees were blown down and felled. Richard, who had mastered some of the rules, could feel it in the wind through the forest, and if the World Tree and the Tree of Life were still furious before, they had now quieted down, and even began to fear. This fear comes from the fact that the two trees of life closest to Richard at this moment are less than a thousand kilometers away.
The movement of the forest camp was slow, but fortunately, the advance of Richard's army was not too fast, and Richard did not seem to have made any new movements after that raid, so that the forest camp finally arrived at its destination in time and took root in front of Richard's army. The Guardian Elf elders finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the Forest Camp was less than half as powerful as it had been when it had taken root.
The black-robed man finally spoke, his cold voice was full of strong confidence and determination, and he even waved his arm heavily as a footnote: "This war will end here!"
Once everything is arranged, it is time for Richard to throw himself into the net. But will it be so smooth? The elders of the guardian elves always felt a little uneasy, but they couldn't think of anything. Compared to the war in front of them, the old tribal battles of the Patron Elves seemed like child's play.
At the same time, Richard was saying to Nereus, Agamemnon, and his generals, "This war should be over." ”
When he said this, no one knew what was going on in Richard's mind. But then a huge shadow slowly passed over the people's heads, and they looked up to see a huge star chrysalis suspended in the air. The powerhouses also sensed that Richard's sacred unicorn was standing on the back of the star chrysalis at the moment. With the Sacred Unicorn, the Star Chrysalis can move freely in the forest sea.
And at this time, there is good news. After the will of the forest is weakened, Crimson, Tiramisu, and Mountains and Seas find their way and rejoin their group.
