Chapter 1014 (1/2)
Eboden, gem River, imperial fortress.
evening.
A bloody encounter half an hour ago had just ended with the retreat of the Raiders of the Azores.
Exhausted and scarred, the soldiers of El mans and the soldiers of the imperial Legion had no intention of pursuing. They were even too lazy to raise their bows and crossbows and shoot a few arrows at the fleeing enemy.
They just cleaned the messy battlefield without saying a word, gathered paoze's bodies, dug a big pit in a soft place beside the river and buried it on the spot.
Wearing a dark blue cloak, Archduke ellemans rode on a strong war horse, personally holding an iron crown flag in the middle of the battlefield. Where all soldiers can see, he held his chest high and looked motionless at the direction of the enemy's evacuation.
Only those who are closer can see a trace of fatigue in his silver gray pupils.
Once again, let the enemy evacuate safely.
Another meaningless victory.
Clenching his teeth, the iron face of Archduke ellemans contained anger.
Facing the Azores Elven warriors, the Legion soldiers in heavy armor can only resist positively, but it is difficult to carry out effective resistance; However, it is difficult for the Flemish soldiers with two weapons and light armor to gain an advantage in one-on-one combat.
Even if a small-scale battle is won, it can only be a disastrous victory. If the army with a small number or no fortifications encounters a raid, it will almost come to an end that the whole army will be destroyed.
This is an unprecedented enemy.
No longer a brainless demon, no longer a refugee of the trend of evil believers, no longer a knight in heavy armor and a conscript waving a spear and shield... But a warrior with superb combat skills, wielding a sharp knife and cooperating with tacit understanding.
Not one or two, not dozens or hundreds, but hundreds or thousands!
Such an opponent that he has never faced is very difficult for Uli vilz, Archduke of ellemans, who has received traditional imperial education; Obviously, he is the one who occupies the geographical, military and material advantages, but he is passive everywhere.
Obviously, Emperor Conrad of the sky palace is also very clear about his ”insufficient ability”, so his task is to ”stick to” rather than ”attack”, and even explicitly requires himself not to launch any offensive against the elves trapped in eboden city.
Yuli weiltz didn't feel humiliated for being ”despised”. What really made him miserable was that he felt ”relieved” in his heart.
Unless there is a miracle, you can't win by yourself... Yuli vilz knows that.
So he set up a military camp at the important ferry of the gem River, set up arrow towers and fortresses at all the traffic arteries along the border of eboden, and approached eboden city by step, locking the enemy's activity space bit by bit.
Of course, the last sentence is nonsense, because the enemy's activity space is not outside the city of eboden - as long as the port of eboden is not recaptured, the initiative of the war will always be in the hands of the elves.
Therefore, his real ”mission” of Archduke ellemans is actually to guard the river course of the gem River and ensure that the ELF's military front will not touch the imperial capital; At the same time, we will make full preparations for the decisive battle in the coming spring.
The decisive battle at the beginning of next spring
Can you really hold on to that time?
”Are you complaining about yourself again?”
The sudden sound made Yuli vilz look back, and Severin de sallion who came with him appeared behind him.
”Your Excellency the Minister of military affairs, I......”
”No, don't explain, I understand.” Severin desallion waved his hand and smiled nostalgically. ”I've worked with your father and uncles. I've seen this face countless times.”
”You ellemans, whenever you encounter problems, you will complain and blame yourself. You think it is caused by your lack of ability - I really don't know whether you should say you are modest or arrogant.”
Yuli weiltz was slightly stunned, lowered his head in some thinking, and looked at the traces left on the battlefield.
Severin desalion, who didn't know what he was thinking, shook his head and patted him on the shoulder with half comfort: ”don't think about it. We are not the protagonists in this battle - we have completed the task by blocking the battlefield and ensuring that the enemy won't threaten the rivers of the imperial capital and the gem river before the end of winter.”
”Leave the rest to our invincible emperor Conrad, ha!”
”Seal off the battlefield and guard the river.” Yuli weirtz whispered slowly, frowning and staring at the enemy's retreat direction: ”we beat back the enemy's temptation and surprise army, seal off the battlefield and guard the river...”
”Or do our enemies want us to think so by all means?”
Huh?
Wen Yan's military minister looked tight: ”what do you mean?”
”Nothing, just...” Archduke Ellerman looked complex, and his silver gray pupils never left the direction of eboden City:
”Just suddenly feel that this possibility exists...”
…………………………
”Puff --!”
The spear that ran through the top of the ogre's skull was forcibly pulled out by Leia upside down; The plasma gushing out of the shrill wail dyed half of the Female Elf's body red, and the world in front of her was temporarily dyed red.
While the ogre fell down, the three figures had torn open the curtain of wind and snow, threw down the deep forest castle in the distance and attacked her.
These stupid monsters have realized that if they don't kill this ”little spot” as soon as possible, they will be killed one by one.
”Boom --!”
With a heavy roar, the dying ogre was patted into meat sauce by his compatriots, and the stinking liquid gushed like explosive slurry.
Without a moment's pause, the soaring Female Elf suddenly threw out the long gun by turning and falling inertia.
The shadow tore the cold wind and pierced the ogre's eyes in the wail.
The falling Female Elf suddenly stepped on the ogre's face door, stepped hard, pulled out the long gun, and jumped at the third Monster without hesitation.
Like the spirit in the ice and snow, it dances against the wind in the cold wind.
”Pa!”
A loud noise, mixed with a roar, burst in Leia's ear.
The long gun in his hand was not unexpectedly broken at the moment when the ogre's claw touched it, leaving only half of the barrel in his hand.
Throw away the gun, and the fairy with her mouth tightly took out two short guns of one foot and a half from behind.
”Dang --!”
Two short spears, one foot and a half, were combined in mid air.
As a gift from the little wizard, Leia never left.
Pooh!
In the sound of flesh and blood tearing, the ogre waved her claw and was directly shot through; The tip of the gun was horizontal and then torn.
