Section 222 The First Ambergris War (9)
The autumn breeze is bleak.
The walls of the High Elves' Mochizuki Castle are being torn down, and a large number of Terran soldiers and captives are toiling at a site a few kilometers away from Mochizuki Castle.
Most of the High Elves withdrew, but some of the city's inhabitants who had not had time to evacuate or were reluctant to leave were captured by the coalition forces.
Many of these men were resisting, but the lack of command made it easier for the coalition to defeat them.
Most of the captives were made up of Terrans and Centaurs, but there were also a few other categories, such as two druids, who, given their shape-shifting abilities, were not only forbidden by magic, but also brought them steel and forced them to work.
However, the total number of prisoners was not much, only more than 10,000, and after Feielo was killed in battle, the remaining residents of Mochizuki City had little fighting spirit.
Many of these remaining Terrans were born to the High Elves family, while the Centaurs were members of the two nearby Centaur tribes who were captured by the army before they could leave.
It is said that they are both human races, and they should have been treated more favorably, and it is also necessary to recruit some leading parties.
But after discussion, Perseus and the prince of Gallon of Titania vetoed it, and still used these domestic children as slaves to be excavated.
Because although these people are also human races, after all, they are the children of the elf family, and they have been brainwashed for generations, although they are the same kind, but the coalition is only invaders in their eyes.
Even if we want to pick the party to lead the way, we have to wait for the situation to stabilize, and now we can only say that the first phase of the operation was successful. But the most crucial point of the first phase is not yet complete. That is to establish a waypoint.
The coalition forces decided to dig out the ground to build the initial portal. In other planes, although it is sometimes built on the ground, it usually takes a long time to establish ground-level fort-level protection, and now although the High Elves may counterattack from time to time, it is too risky to build on the ground.
If it is built underground, the deeper it is dug, this in itself is a kind of protection, and it is difficult for even a legendary powerhouse to break through head-on, if it comes from a fixed passage. Then there will naturally be a lot of resistance.
Of course, after gaining a firm foothold, most of the portals will still be moved to the ground, or rebuilt on the ground, because it is easier to transport supplies.
Of course, the captives were not happy to be forced to work, and the High Elves among them were full of hatred, and some of them would not give in even if they were bound by heavy steel captives, and the Centaurs shouted that they had a large number of people nearby, and that if they were not released quickly, they would give the Coalition a good look. But in fact, at this time, the nearby centaurs should have known that something had happened to Mochizuki City, and it would be better if they didn't come. If they did, Perseus and the others would not mind having more slaves to work, and the two druids were working silently, but on the contrary, they aroused vigilance and secretly sent more people under residential surveillance; Fear, the coalition people understand that they are accustomed to serving the high elves, although the coalition is undoubtedly the invaders in their eyes, but the invaders can beat away their original masters, which is enough to make them feel scared, which makes people feel relieved, until their masters do not reappear, it is estimated that these bloodless sons will not have the courage to cause trouble.
Seeing the Terrans as the sons of the family, the soldiers of the coalition were born with disdain, and the mystery they had for the High Elves at this time, and some of the little sense of awe they had had disappeared. The naval battle in front of the harbor had some losses for the entire fleet, a total of three sail warships were directly sunk, a warship with a hybrid of sails and steam, and it was burned out beyond repair, and as a result, there were three warships that lost a lot of soldiers on the warship, two of which were sail-type, one hybrid, and some were attacked by the High Elves with fire magic and caused a fire, but fortunately they were extinguished and needed to be repaired.
This battle could have reduced the losses a lot, as long as the legendary powerhouses among them were willing to take action, but Perseus did not do it, because before the battle, they all agreed with some of Solomon's views, and Tristan had similar views.
That is, this war against the High Elves, of course, is inevitable to the attack of the legendary powerhouse, and the battle of the legendary powerhouse will directly affect the outcome of a single battle to a large extent, and then affect the development of the entire battle situation. But this war must not rely only on the legendary powerhouse, because although the Terran countries have united, and have also contacted some other help, but there are many legendary powerhouses of the High Elves, and this war is a war to invade the Emerald Continent, the allies of the High Elves will definitely not sit idly by, and when the time comes, if the top combat forces form a containment war, the chance to break the situation and win is a large number of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, in the first stage of the battle, in addition to going down to Mochizuki City to start building a portal, another thing that must be done is to eliminate the soldiers' sense of awe of the High Elves.
This is also the reason why during the port naval battle, several legendary powerhouses did not make a move, and even the three magic warships only came forward at the last moment to help extinguish the fire.
Even if some sacrifices are caused, as long as they are within the scope of bearing, they must guide the soldiers to defeat the High Elves who come out to meet them with their own strength, so that they can build confidence.
When the real war begins, they may have to fight the High Elves without such help.
The wind is blowing and the leaves are flying.
Perseus, who was standing on the bow of the ship, suddenly leaned slightly to the side, looked north, his eyes shot with essence, and said in a low voice: "Here it is." ”
Strauss, who was next to him, also nodded, while Bethoff was a little slower to notice, and said with a slight nervousness: "I don't know which elf king is coming." ”
Strauss took out a map and unfolded it, which was information he had obtained in passing during the ambergris trade.
He squinted his eyes and smiled: "The most likely is that Fenafin, who has the title of Silver King, Mochizuki City and the five nearby cities are all within his jurisdiction, and the elven city lord Feenor who died in the previous battle is his younger brother." ”
A silver light appeared in the sky. Swift as a meteor.
Beshoff took a deep breath. I want to pluck up the courage to ask for battle.
Now is not the time for a naval battle in the port. At that time, the legendary powerhouse did not go to war in order to temper his army, let them see blood, and be familiar with the combat of the High Elves, and the condition was at sea, which was actually more beneficial to his own army, because if it was on land, the High Elves had more room to dodge.
In front of him, a great elf king is coming in anger, and the excavation underground is underway. It can't be disturbed by him, it must be repulsed, at least not let it affect it.
And repelling him can also make the hearts of those captives frustrated, and they will work obediently.
However, before Beshoff could exit, Strauss had already spoken, but he did not ask for a battle for himself, but said with a smile: "This time it will be handed over to the Titanians." ”
In the harbor, a figure in the Titanian fleet also rose into the air, quickly facing the flying silver rays.
As the Titanya archmage who went out of the battle raised his hand in the air, he didn't know what magic was used. The silver mang immediately stopped as if it had been imprisoned by something.
But then the silver light lit up, as if burning. The magical confinement of the legendary mage of Titania is no longer valid.
Beshoff couldn't take his eyes off it, although he was a legend, but he didn't have a lot of experience in the battle between legends, and his combat power was not high in the legendary realm, and the battle in front of him was not unhelpful to him.
While watching the battle between the two, he substituted himself for both of them, and decided to record it and test it when he had time to get the small analog derivator on the magic battleship.
The three magic warships are equipped with a small analog derivation instrument specially equipped with the latest research of the Magic Guidance Research Institute, but the magic brain that has not yet been completely successful, is called Tianhe Type 1, which is the first of the two development directions of the magic brain, which can help mages to carry out continuous calculations.
The entire small derivation instrument is a part of the function of the elf war chess system that can be simulated as much as possible, which can be used for challenge simulation exercises and small campaign derivation, which is equivalent to the battle training in the elf magic chess, but it does not have a multi-party confrontation function for the time being, because the space of the battleship is limited, and now the more powerful the computing power of the demon brain, the larger the volume, and the more source power that needs to be supplied.
The two people who are fighting in the air now, the silver light is not surprisingly the Great Elf King Fernafin, he may have learned the news of the tragic attack on Mochizuki City and the death of Feenor in battle, and he rushed to the first time, and the Titanian side responded to the battle with a legendary mage Gonia.
Yinmang broke free from the magic confinement and appeared at the side of Gonia at an unimaginable speed, the soldiers on the ground couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the elven captives who were stubborn on the ground and would rather be beaten than work were even brighter, the arrival of the Great Elf King gave them hope, even if they could not save them, as long as they could kill or defeat the enemy's strong man in front of everyone, it would definitely boost morale and strengthen their determination to fight against the invaders.
A silver light came from the hand of Fenafin, who was known as the King of Silver, and he did come after knowing that Mochizuki City was attacked and even Feanor was killed in battle, of course, he didn't ask a little about the situation before coming, and learned that there were many enemies, the battleships were strong, and there were probably some strange weapons made by dwarven mechanical technology.
But after confirming that the enemy did not have a legendary powerhouse to attack, he immediately arrived.
Regardless of whether there is a strong person among the enemies who can threaten him, he has to come here, if it is really an invader from the Azure Continent, he can break the enemy if he can, and if he can't break the enemy, he can also weigh the enemy first, not to mention that Feeno died in battle, he doesn't do anything, where is he willing.
He was full of vindictiveness to counteract Gonia's confinement technique, and Fei Nafin was also a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, but he was stronger in martial arts.
He appeared next to Gonia, the silver light from his arm slashed down like a blade, and Gonia's move was a confinement technique that could bind him, although this is not a legendary spell, but its power is maintained by the caster's mental power and magic power, that is to say, if Gonia's mental power and magic power are stronger, the confinement effect will be strengthened, not just with a superficial spell rank.
If you can restrain him, this strength should not be underestimated, Fei Nafin just wants to kill or defeat the other party in front of everyone as soon as possible, so as soon as he makes a move, he uses his most powerful fighting spirit, which is the strongest and most mysterious power in life, and has great resistance to magic, and it is universal resistance.
The fighting spirit to the point of legend has almost rendered most magic ineffective, and even the damage of legendary spells is not irresistible.
Gonya was cut in half with a single sword, but Fernafin snorted angrily, and the two halves of the image shattered, and it turned out that it was not her body that was slashed, but a mirror image.
Fernafin attacked again, and the speed was amazing, and the legendary warrior could only see a silver shadow when he moved, and he pounced to the side without warning, where the main body of Gonya immediately appeared, and he saw through the effect hidden by magic.
However, Gonia's body immediately flickered, and at the moment when the sword light was about to overshoot, she disappeared, and then appeared fifty meters away from Fernaffin.
Short-distance random teleportation, and only this kind of spell can escape in front of Fenafin's amazingly fast fighting slash, even using any door is not enough insurance, because the speed of the Silver King is too fast, and ordinary legendary powerhouses can't compare.
The figures of the two of them fought in the air like this, Fenna attacked, and Gonafina kept dodging with a short random teleportation, and then counterattacked with spells, but because Fenafin's speed was too fast, Gonya didn't have enough time to cast spells that could pose a huge threat to him after dodging, so he could only rely on spells to stack, but this alone couldn't break Fenafin's fighting spirit.
Of course, the captives on the ground were secretly cheering for the Great Elf King, and the soldiers guarding them also looked nervous.
Fernafin took the initiative, and after Gonia's long fight with him, another figure rose from Titania's flagship, and another legendary mage also struck.
If it's just a contest, it may not be two-on-one, but it's war.
With the addition of a legendary mage, Fernafin immediately turned from an advantage to a disadvantage.
The Silver King roared angrily, and quickly left the battlefield and left the sky above Mochizuki City.
Originally, even if it was two to one, he might not be able to continue fighting, but he would definitely not be able to please him, so it would be useless and would not play a role in frustrating the enemy, but he might still be plotted by someone.
On the ground, Perseus laughed, "He is also interesting, and if he insists on not leaving, I don't mind being cheeky enough to leave him behind." (To be continued.) )
