When Lord Maeglin arrived at Sea Bluff, the tide was at a high level. So he had to pause for a moment to wait for the tide to go down.

This is Sea Cliff - the land of death traps. Lord Maeglin looked at the treacherous terrain. Perhaps he should abandon his plan to defend the Whitewater River and instead set up an ambush circle on the sea cliffs. Once the Azuls entered this circle, their end would come...... Ambushes attacked from all sides, flanking in front and rear...... They will be driven out of the sea and then swallowed by the waves...... Lord Maeglin imagined the pleasant scene, but resisted the tempting thought.

Although the Azul clan is stupid and weak, they should not be stupid enough to walk into this death trap so stupidly. Comparatively, the Baishui River is a better choice. Maybe it's not as dangerous as the sea cliffs, but it makes it impossible for the Azul to break through. That was the end of their expedition. As long as the confrontation lasted for a month, then the only hope for the prince of Ashrufat would be to withdraw in time.

The Witch King eagerly awaited the news of the defeat of the expeditionary force, and as soon as the news of the expeditionary force failed, the Witch King immediately began to carry out a second attack plan. Even more wonderful, the expedition was so loud that the stupid and weak Azurs were waiting for the news of their prince's victory, and the news of the expedition's defeat would give the Azuls a painful humiliation.

This victory will greatly strengthen the power of Lord Murglin and his position in the heart of the Witch King.

Lord Maeglin happily cleared his overall thoughts, carefully considering all his strengths and weaknesses. The situation was that he left with his main force, leaving Ampriglis, with only a small force left behind. The slave rebellion was the only destabilizing factor, but he believed that his men would be able to handle it.

He would confront the prince at the White River, and while he didn't think he would be defeated by the Azul Expeditionary Force, even if that happened, the Azurs would not be able to pursue the danger of the Sea Cliffs. He can lead the remnants back to Ampriglis. This was followed by a siege, a siege in which there were no more attackers than defenders...... He would have an endless stream of reinforcements, but Prince Ashorufat had no backup.

One of his subordinates suggested that while he was waiting for the tide to fall, he would send a few scouts to the mountains of the sea cliffs. His words flickered, suggesting that he feared that the Azuls had set up an ambush here. In this regard, Lord Macrolin only looked at this suspicious subordinate with contemptuous eyes. Even if the Yasurs were desperate to make a forced march, they would at most prepare to cross the White River to the south. On the battlefield, the river is an extremely effective defensive terrain, because it is not a natural danger that can be overcome by effort or luck, and it can even be said that it is impossible to reach it if you want to do it quickly. Crossing the river requires careful preparation, requiring rafts, boats and even pontoons. It is impossible to carry these things on a rapid march.

If you can rely on "luck" to find a mountain path after crossing the mountains, the river will even wipe out this possibility. The area where the river is narrow must have a strong current, and the area where the water is gentle must be wide. The choice of the crossing point is a typical "gain and loss", and there is no possibility of a miracle such as "finding a shortcut in the mountains where the enemy does not know the way".

"There will be no ambush here, and the Azuls probably haven't even seen the river. I think we'll get to the White River sooner than our lazy, stupid cousins. Lord Megrin replied lazily.

The sea finally receded to the point where it was possible to march. Lord Metlin did not hesitate to give the order to move forward, and as he walked across the beach, many of his men looked at the hillside on the side of the beach with wary expressions. However, until the whole army passed through this area, there were no incidents. If anything, I guess it's a few ospreys flying in the sky.

Everything was as Lord Megrin had expected, and they waited until they reached the White River, and they did not see the foolish Azuls. They should still be on their way here, and they won't be there in a day or two.

......

"Tell the soldiers to go to the right in front of you, the terrain on the right is gentle...... You, go and inform Garth in the back and tell him that the soldiers must deal with the obstacles on the ground to ensure that the chariot can pass through the ...... You, hurry up and go to the front and tell the Shadow Warriors that there is no need to move away from the rocks to open the way, that would be a waste of time, there is a small detour on the left side that can be passed. ”

If you continue like this, you will be able to reach your goal in half a day. Ashrufat breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to command an army through such a complex terrain. The infantry is okay, the cavalry and chariots are both terrain-demanding troops. Although Ashrufat had now ordered the entire army to walk, the difficult terrain still created many natural obstacles that were difficult to pass. He's tried to avoid it, but there's no way to avoid it.

If it weren't for Carrie's map, Ashrufat probably wouldn't have chosen this path at all. Of course, he might not even choose this landing site at all. But Carrie's "bird's-eye view" is really amazing, it is not only wide, but also infinitely magnified, zoomed in to the most columbian, even a big rock and a large tree can be seen on the map.

This is beyond the level of a "map", it can only be said that it is everything that is seen by the eyes of the gods above the sky.

Of course, Carrie was dismissive of this, "Master, this is just a very primitive technique." Although it looks good, it is only a small step compared to the techniques required to cross the vast starry sky and cross the abyss of time and space. ”

"Your Royal Highness, there is news ahead that they have come to the river. "A soldier ran to report. "Waiting for your further orders. ”

"Let them be on standby, take a break, and I'll be over soon. ”

Ashruphat came to the river, and the first one to meet him was Kaye. The elven warrior's face was full of rage, and his eyes were like two flames of fire.

"Are you going to bring us here?" he gestured forward.

Ahead, there is a fast-flowing river. At their feet, there were cliffs, and the rushing water flowed between them. Not to mention that this rapids is enough to stop a one-in-a-million swimming genius. In fact, because there is no gentle slope for people to go up and down, even if you have to cross to the opposite side, you can only look at the cliff and have no choice. In addition, there must be many reefs and whirlpools in such a rapid current, and crossing the river is an extremely dangerous and difficult task. If there is any advantage here, it is that the river is relatively narrow.

"How are you going to get there?!" Kaye asked angrily. "I said we should ......," he said, noticing that Ashrufat's face did not show any of the anxiety and disappointment that would normally be associated with frustration.

"Your Royal Highness, what the hell do you want to do? ”

"It should be possible to get through here. Ashrufat looked at the rushing water and said to himself. "Let the soldiers rest. ”

"It's impossible to go here!"

"Star Dragon. Ashrufat replied. "Let the star dragon take the soldiers over. ”

"Then you'll have to use it for a year! We only had ten days' worth of supplies with us when we set out, and today is the fourth day. ”

"Build a suspension bridge!" replied Eshurufat. "I've prepared something to do with it. ”

......

The wheels of the last chariot left the bridge. From now on, this troubled river is no longer a problem for them. Ashrufat remained on the edge of the bridge, watching the rapids beneath his feet. Due to the high speed of the current and the large number of reefs in the riverbed, white foam constantly rises from the surface of the river, and the whole river looks slightly white in the sunlight.

"Your Royal Highness," Aracet asked with some excitement. "How did you come up with the idea for a suspension bridge?"

In fact, the whole project is very ordinary, and there is no ingenuity. The process is to have a few skilled engineers drive a stake on the shore, attach a rope reinforced with magic to the stake, and then fly to the other side of the river with the rope and a few hands by the star dragon, and do the same on the opposite side. Soon, six or seven ropes were connected between the two shores. There were a lot of trees in the mountains, and the expeditionary force quickly prepared several hundred planks. Planks were laid on top of the ropes, and an easy and sturdy suspension bridge was immediately formed.

The real trouble is with the war horse. The cavalry took a lot of effort and thought of a lot of methods, and finally blindfolded them, so that the horses could pass. If it weren't for this factor, they could have crossed the river a little faster.

"It's just a flash of inspiration. Ashruphat laughed. If it were a human army, then it would not be possible to cross the river so easily. Only ropes made by the elves' superb magical skills can find a balance between sturdiness and lightness, and only the ingenious elves can complete these construction tasks in such a short time.

"We have crossed the river and are about to leave the mountains. Aracet asked. "Nine times out of ten, our wicked cousins are waiting at the mouth of the river, and we can bypass them and attack Ampllis. ”

"No, Ampulglis was a transit point for slave transport...... In order to ensure the safety of the city, in any case, the Truuzzi would remain with a sufficient force to suppress the rebellion. Ashrufat replied. "Our army does not have any siege equipment. As long as they close the gates, we will not be able to attack the city immediately. ”

"So, what are we going to do?" asked Aracet, somewhat surprised. "Your Royal Highness, I want you to understand one thing. Because of the barren land of Nagarus, the vast majority of our evil cousins lived in towns. With the exception of a few minerals, animal training farms, and the like, there are no targets in this land that are worth attacking. I still remember the battle plan you drew up...... Our goal is ......"

"Our goal is to harass the Truzi's homeland. Ashrufat took over. "On the surface, it is to bring the war to the enemy's land, but in fact, it is to prevent the Truqi from putting all their resources into the main battlefield of confrontation with the Phoenix King. If they are threatened on their home turf, or if they are simply threatened, they have to create a force to stay behind. And they never expected us to launch a counteroffensive in such a situation...... There is a high probability that one or two cities will be captured. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, as you say......"

"But unfortunately, now the Truzzies are aware of our actions. The premise of the operational plan is not valid. Ashrufat said lightly. "Operational planning must change. ”
