The steel avenue to the south, compared to the oak avenue when the human coalition arrived, was built more grandiosely and neatly, and you can see obvious rut marks, and the road surface is also very clean, obviously because of its frequent use, so that the Noldor elves pay much more attention to this road than other roads.

The Forest of Silence is rich, but it is also barren - in terms of minerals, it is almost a blank slate, and only a few areas are relatively rich in stone mines, and metal deposits have not yet been discovered.

All the ore had to be transported from the Black Rock Basin in the south, and every year the Silent Forest would send a large number of caravans, bringing large quantities of spices and food according to the division of regions and settlements, to exchange various ores with the dwarves for the ore needed by the Silent Forest. The trade in grain and minerals kept the two races in close proximity for a long time - when every Vara's of the Silent Forest succeeded him, the leaders of all the dwarven city-states (usually called kings) would attend the ceremony in person, or send their most trusted people to attend the ceremony, and when each dwarven king was crowned, Anduria would send a large delegation of emissaries to send the blessings of the Silent Forest.

Because of the preciousness of the ore, the craftsmen of the Noldor Elves had to cherish and use it, so they were more detailed than other races in the jishu, so much so that the jishu was raised to the level of art in the Silent Forest, and all the master foundries were treated to the highest standard in their settlements.

The culmination of this art was the advent of the Noldor long knife - unlike the ancient Arabic scimitars, the Noldor elves rarely fought on horseback, so their long knives were closer to the shape of the katana - a weapon that appeared to fight large beasts in close combat, and it had to be of moderate length and capable of inflicting maximum damage on unarmored enemies.

Most of the Noldor Warriors' long knives are curved, as their enemies are beasts, so there is no need to consider the possibility of encountering iron armor. With a certain curvature, you can also ensure that you don't hurt your wrist when chopping. This continued until the advent of Master Yi, and many Noldor warriors who practiced swordsmanship began experimenting with straight blades that mimicked those of Bleak Night. Obviously, only the most experienced Noldor warriors knew how to use such a terrible weapon, and it would not break their wrists.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The army, which spread like a long dragon, was advancing on this famous avenue at this time. Slightly different from when they came, all the soldiers were already fully armed, and without saying a word, they followed the centurion's slogan, their spears and shields in their hands, and even the veterans who were most familiar with the battlefield began to become serious.

Battles can break out at any time, the enemy will not wait in place like a fool, and any wood, any haystack, may ambush the enemy's army, ready to give himself a surprise attack.

For them, from the moment they set foot on the road south, they were already in the middle of the battlefield.

The elite Noldor Ranger was scattered like pawns, serving as scouts for the army, scouting all the settlements on the way south and places where the enemy might be ambushed, and only a thousand of the younger Ranger were taken by Handel to fight the archers as a reserve. These young warriors were the seeds and hope of the next generation of the Silent Forest, and Handel didn't even dare to let them actually go to the battlefield in person, and he couldn't afford to lose any of them.

In particular, most of these young people are rising stars from those old families, and they are now too young to take on the responsibilities that match their status.

The Roman legions were placed at the front of the marching columns, ready to resist any possible frontal assault, the Mistemaeus army from the north was on the right and left, these people were the best at dealing with enemy raids and buying time for the army to react, and the heavy shield infantry and infantry knights of Salion were Zuihou, they were excellent reservists, and when the Roman legions withstood the attack in the first line, they could calmly outflank the enemy from both flanks and maintain the line, giving the commanders of the army plenty of time to plan their next move。

As the most deterrent knight army in the entire coalition, it has always been in the front flanks of the Roman army, and the stars and the moon generally surround several army commanders in the center. They are the most lethal force against the orcs, so they must be ready to charge at all times to intimidate the enemy from charging and disrupting the formation of the army.

"So, the one called Bode Aldaria, your brother. The commander of the army of the North?"

Theodore ate the apple as he looked at Cebea beside him and asked, "Has he ever fought?"

"Nope. Sibeya frowned and glanced to the side, she now wanted to avoid the guy who had made a fool of herself a few times: "Weishenme asked, is there something wrong?"

"If he's been to war, or he's been to war, he'll probably be able to buy us more time. Theodore finished his mouthful, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "If not, then we will have to think about how to clean up the mess." ”

"Please don't be so contemptuous of our fellow citizens. Hearing Theodore's words, Handel slowly turned his horse over and said confidently: "The Noldor warriors in the north are more brave than those in other regions, and they are also more skilled in skills, and they will not suffer any losses when they fight against the orc army." ”

"That's why I said, you haven't been to war. Theodore shook his head: "How long do you think a battle will last?"

“............ One day?" Handel guessed, "Or, from morning till night?"

"Hours, hours. Theodore sighed and said: "Physical strength, casualties, these will greatly shorten the battle time, occasionally there will be some more special battles, may be fought for half a day or nearly a day, that is under special conditions will appear." ”

"But...... I've read a lot of books about ancient warfare. Handel's tone was extremely disbelieving: "Many famous wars will be fought for a long time, at least for a day!"

"That's because the people who recorded these battles also counted the rest of the time. Salald also ran over and interjected, nodded and looked at Theodore on the side: "Pursuing the enemy, collecting the spoils, and capturing prisoners are the most time-consuming things, and the confrontation between the two armies has never been too long." ”

"But how do you know that Bode and they will lose?!" the female ranger immediately retorted as if she had suddenly discovered a flaw in the other party.

But she immediately understood from the calm look in the other man's eyes, and turned her head to the side in frustration, not looking at him anymore - if the Noldor Elves would win, then what else would the human alliance do?

"We're about a day away from them, so if something goes wrong, there's plenty of time to deal with it. Theodore comforted the girl who was a little hurt: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." ”

But soon Theodore was no longer so relaxed, his face gradually became serious, and his whole body trembled slightly.

In order to ensure the safe march of the entire army, Theodore used the ability of a strategic map (i.e., the "eye over the earth" that Jupiter gave him) almost every once in a while. I don't know if it's because I met the god king once, this liliang is stronger than the original, and the range has been expanded to a very terrifying distance, if Theodore is in Caesarea Castle now, he can even overlook the entire city and the surrounding manors, and the energy consumption is only half of the original.

And now, at the very top of the map, he saw a large black patch showing danger, following behind a scattered pile of blue icons, slow but very rhythmic.

"Marshal Terenus!" Theodore quickly grabbed the reins of his horse and rode Webb in front of Terenus, causing the old man to stop his horse in astonishment.

"Stop the army at once, and let the warriors line up!" shouted Theodore, "The enemy is now in front of us, and it will be too late!"

"How do you know this, Lord Julian?" Tyrenus was even more surprised, "Our scouts haven't returned yet." ”

"Trust me, please. Theodore Kerosene deliberately explained something, but looked seriously at the eyes that were still bright despite the frost: "Please believe me. ”

"Well, since you're so determined, I'm sure you must have a reason. "Terenus will decide - Theodore can't do it without a reason, no matter how bad it is, it can't make the coalition lose anything, the Roman legions are in the first array, and this alone is enough to make Terenus believe him.

"Trumpeter, trumpet!"

"Woo――――――――――――――――――――――――――!!!!!!"

The melodious sound of trumpets was passed through the army, one after the other. Strange as it was, the soldiers began to change formations as ordered, and the long and narrow formation gradually turned into a line, the knights were ready to take the lead in the ranks, and the archers took the arrows from their quivers and followed the rhythm to their battle positions.

Soon, the Ranger Scouts returned, and brought back a not-so-good--the orc army was rapidly coming in this direction, and in front of them was the broken Noldor army in the north and south!

"How do you know?!" asked Sibeya, though she was worried about whether her brother was in danger.

"The gods of Rome are very fond of me. Theodore smiled: "They have given me eyes that look down on the earth, and I am invincible! ”

(The flames of war have been lit, the trumpets are echoing in the sky!)

zuihou, still asking for collection~, how can you win if you don't have enough warriors?!)
