The Battle of Mochizuki Castle was a turning point and the most crucial battle for the second phase of the High Elf War.

After this battle, not only did the multinational coalition basically gain a foothold on the east coast of the Emerald Continent, but it also marked the High Elves turning from offensive to defensive again.

This time the defense is a real defensive position, which is different from the previous spontaneous resistance of the elves in the invaded area because the elven court did not officially counterattack, because this is the defensive position that had to be turned to after the main force of the high elves took the initiative to attack and was defeated.

During the Battle of Mochizuki Castle, including the pursuit after retreating, the High Elves suffered 150,000 casualties, most of which were killed or wounded by muskets and cannons during the attack on the fortress and port.

The casualties of the multinational coalition are quite large only in terms of numbers, the Saxons and Aurora went alone in the early stage, and the first victory and then defeat produced a lot of casualties, and the later Mochizuki City fortress consumed the strength of the High Elves, but in the early stage, in addition to using the defense of the fortress, a large number of servant troops were used as cannon fodder to consume the physical energy and magic of the High Elves first.

Therefore, most of the High Elves killed and injured were servants, and the Black Rock Dwarves, the Fadel of A, and the Fadel of Titania were forcibly conscripted, as well as the Farucion of Albania and the Pharynug.

These people used their lives to withstand the High Elves' shots when they were physically strong and the magic attacks when they were full of magic, and then the fortress and ship artillery plus a steady stream of servants repelled the High Elves and counterattacked, and the Source Gun Marksman Legion wiped out one of the Elves' strongest helpers on the ground, the Holy Unicorn, and severely damaged the legendary powerhouse on the Elven side. The legendary powerhouses who reached the air fell behind one after another. A few Centaur leaders fled with a large number of centaurs. Although their combat power was also destroyed by artillery fire, they actually still had considerable strength and combat effectiveness, but after witnessing the defeat of the High Elves, they refused to contribute any more.

Later, the musket units of the multinational coalition pursued the defeated forces of the High Elves, but the pursuit was not very effective.

After the defeat of the elves, morale began to plummet, but Calanhill personally led a force to break down. The elven militia who came one after another formed a squad to fight against the invaders.

The battle of Mochizuki City was mainly based on Asturias and Titania as the main force of the defensive counterattack, and after the victory, they took advantage of the situation to attack the city of the High Elves.

Seeing that places like Rare City and Oak Leaf City, which had been occupied by themselves but were regained or almost occupied, were about to fall into the hands of the two countries, Aurora and the Saxons began to be unwilling to reluctantly and demanded an all-out attack, which naturally included them.

In order to seize the benefits, the Aurora and Saxons also began to send a large number of troops into the Emerald Continent, and proposed to Thailand and Argentina to buy a large number of muskets.

Needless to say, the Saxons naturally have extremely limited manufacturing capacity due to the suppression of the Church of Light, among the Aurora. Because of the support of the southerners, they actually have a certain production capacity of muskets. However, there was a great shortage among the northerners, who not only sent their orc troops and the Eastern Beasts as allies, but also hoped to strengthen their armament with muskets.

The Titanians couldn't hold back again, supported the initiative to attack, and sent the Titania's immature source force gun shooter unit to attack with the army.

Although Titania's research on the magic of Asturian failed many years ago, they also had a large number of mages in their own country, and a quarter of the factional forces in the Mage's Guild were willing to support them.

Although I didn't get the relevant secrets back then, after getting some specious information about the basic principle of the source gun, Titania also started its own research, and after many years, although the results were not as good as Asturias, it was also possible to create the source gun, but the amount that could be produced by resources was far less than that of Asturias.

Now it has to be taken out, not only because of the needs of the war, but also to show Asturias its strength and avoid being underestimated, otherwise Asturias will show its strong strength, and it will suffer in the distribution of benefits in the future.

Solomon did not stop the counterattack of the Three Kingdoms, but the army of Asturias's servants always only bit the retreating High Elves, and at the same time allowed Wolff, Rhine and other orc tribes to fight in an all-out battle to seize the fruits of victory.

However, most of the most elite native troops of Asturias and the great Legion of Source Force Gun Shooters remained in the fortress of Mochizuki City, because this is the foundation of everything, as long as the teleportation channel here is choked, not only will the materials and manpower of the Azure Continent come in an endless stream, but the High Elves are also fighting against Asturias and the many different planes under its jurisdiction.

In addition, the fleet strength of the previous multinational joint advance force was also removed from command after the arrival of the country's army, and it was subsumed into the national combat sequence.

The prince of Titania Garon ordered the Thai fleet to go north to attack the High Elf cities along the coastline, and Bethof also set sail with the permission of the kingdom, first south and then west, attacking the High Elf ports along the way.

At the same time, Solomon sent another envoy to inform the Tianhuo Plateau and the Sea Clan of the news of the victory of Mochizuki Castle.

King Beamon soon re-sent Tirramon to the Centaurs again, and offered to use the teleportation channel of Asturias to pass through the armies of the Orc Court if things were to come.

In contrast to the multinational coalition, the High Elves are bogged down in a quarrel.

Among the surviving elven kings, Irenion accused Calanhill of ineffective command and could not contain the enemy, and he and others had fought bloodily and were about to win with less battles, but they were reversed by the enemy's sneak attack at the last moment.

Hilinger, however, objected to Erenion's claim, arguing that Calanhill and the many elves had done their best.

The quarrel continued until Calanhill returned to the elven court's seat of Gondolin City, surrounded by mountains.

Calanhill may also be guilty of the failure of this battle, so when he retreated, he personally led his troops to break off, and was constantly pursued, and among the pursuers were also legendary powerhouses. Fortunately, because the countries are already competing for interests. Not all of them came to besiege him. Only the legendary trio of Asturias had their eyes on him, and the Valkyrie had the heart to do something with him, but after the three of Manfred attacked, Leona's arrogance flinched again and chose to pursue the others.

After repelling the three Manfred, Caranhill himself was wounded, and he fought Howard, the king of the berserk who was chasing him, and inflicted heavy losses on the opponent. But Howard's strength has reached the demon king level in the state of a berserker, which has made him even more injured.

After returning to the elven court, Calanhill pleaded with Altanis, willing to take responsibility for the defeat, and took the cause of the defeat on his own, calming the quarrel in the royal court.

But even if Irenion blamed Calanhill's command, it couldn't hide the strength of the enemy, and it was already a serious threat to the High Elves' domination of the continent.

The upper echelons of the High Elves began to discuss how to face the next battle, whether to organize a counterattack again or form a confrontation with the main defense.

Shihlinger and his dead brother Amrath are in the same position, believing that they should once again rally the elven army to fight back against the enemy, and ask for the help of their allies. and inform the two surviving Grand Druids that they have returned to gather the other Druids to help the High Elves.

This time, however, Caranhill and Heregnan were in agreement against a quick counterattack.

However, the reason for Karanhill's opposition was that he believed that the enemy was strong in a correct sense. After a major defeat, you must get a strong helper to win.

And this powerful helper, Calanhill refers to the dragon clan, the golden dragon clan and the silver dragon clan in the dragon city, and there are more than ten legendary dragons and dozens of ordinary dragons in total, but even ordinary dragons are ninth-order creatures, and they are born with the ability to fly.

Altanis had broken free from the shock of hearing of the defeat at first, and after careful consideration, she agreed with Calanhill's judgment that the strength of the High Elves was now greatly damaged, the legendary priests of the two temples had fallen, and the enemy was a combination of forces, and to deal with them, it was necessary to rely heavily on allies.

Before the battle, the High Elves actually hoped to get the help of the dragons, but at that time, the elves thought that they planned to drive the invaders away completely in one battle, but they did not think that the help of the dragons was necessary, and it was just a little troublesome without them.

But after a devastating defeat, Artaise realizes that she must be helped by the dragons.

It's just that Oliver is a messenger sent to Dragon City, but there is no news so far.

Calanhill immediately expressed his willingness to go to Dragon City in person, he is the head of the current Great Elf King, and his status is only below the Elf Empress, which should satisfy Dragon City.

The upper echelons of the High Elves went from quarrel to subsidence of the quarrel, and then prepared to face the invaders a second time, but they were all waiting for a response from their allies, especially the dragons.

However, the high elves in those elven cities reunited with the defeated elven warriors and elven militia, and once again spontaneously resisted the invasion.

Although he had only experienced defeat in the frontal battle, his frustrated morale was soon reinvigorated by the anger and humiliation of the invasion of his homeland.

Without the command of the commander for a while, these scattered elves fought the enemy in separate groups.

The elves knew that they would not be able to defeat the enemy head-on in the absence of unity of command, and many of them were no longer trapped in the city, but retreated into the countryside and forests outside the city, using these places as their habitat to attack the enemy again and again.

Who knew that such a mode of warfare would bring great trouble to the countries, or that this kind of guerrilla method of using small units, at most no more than squadrons, would seem to be more effective for the High Elves to be more effective.

After the armies of the various countries reoccupied Rare City, Oak Leaf City and other places, their convoys were constantly attacked, and even the servant army was annihilated as long as it was reduced.

The High Elves have also learned well, although muskets can inflict fatal damage on them, but as long as they have sufficient physical strength and magic power, they can also carry out a simple combination of magic and martial arts, and carry out a wave of harassment against the invaders from a long distance, killing and injuring the enemy in small amounts, and fleeing into the countryside or forest when the enemy pursues them in large numbers.

Pursuing Black Rock Dwarves, Fadel Humans, If the servant army composed of the Farusion people lacks a high-level or above strong person to sit in, it is very difficult to face the guerrilla tactics of the High Elves who fight in a wave and run, because although the musket brings them far more combat power than their own, but some other foundations do not have, such as the ability to detect from a distance, the High Elves themselves are fifth-order creatures, and have magical abilities, unless there are high-level and above strong people in the team to exceed their perception, otherwise the first wave of the elves attack is easier to attack them unprepared.

And the elves have also learned well, knowing that if they carry out a frontal scale battle, their own gains outweigh the losses, even if they destroy the enemy, but the number and reproduction ability of the elves are not as good as the enemy, so they only rely on the first wave of surprise attacks when they exceed the enemy's perception and physical strength and magic power, and as soon as the enemy reacts, they flee.

This effective mode of combat greatly reduced the casualties of the High Elf local resistance, but increased the enemy's losses.

The invasion slowed down by the fact that the nations had to send high-ranking men to the more important convoys between the two places to increase the strength of the escort troops.

Among them, Melinda and her brother Lombana also shine in the name, and their fame has gradually risen to become famous young leaders of the resistance forces everywhere. (To be continued.) )
