King

"The strong man from the Holy Realm...is despicable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-headed monster's head flew out. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

There is indeed no card for a strong man from the Holy Domain to participate in a battle of this level, but as long as all the enemies are dead, it is equivalent to nothing happening.

If they hadn't been discovered, perhaps the expeditionary force might still have spared their lives, but that wasn't possible now.

For the sake of Mr. Hudson's reputation on the mainland, the expeditionary force had no choice but to silence him. Not only the nearby enemy soldiers must be dealt with, but the enemy soldiers in the entire camp must be silenced.

In ethnic wars, massacre is normal, but accepting prisoners is something else.

Frankly speaking, the strong men in the sanctuary violated the rules of the game and participated in secular wars regardless of their identity. Once they did it, it was impossible to keep it secret.

Rumors are not terrible, the key is not to leave evidence. If the foreign soldiers survived, they would be the best witnesses.

The news may be leaked by one's own army, but no one will come forward to testify against Hudson.

As the overlord of the continent, the human race also needs face. This kind of thing that damages the image of the race must be denied no matter how sufficient the evidence is in the hands of the enemy.

Of course, the main reason why Hudson dared to do this was that the Ancient Relics Alliance was easy to bully and there were no strong men at the sanctuary level.

Even though they knew they were at a disadvantage, they could only yell a few times, but in the end they still had to swallow their anger.

If it were a race with strong men from the holy realm, Hudson would definitely abide by the rules. Everyone has strong men at the sanctuary level. If they take revenge on each other, no one can live in peace.

Killing, crazy killing.

There were broken arms and limbs everywhere, mixed with the screams of the dead, and the entire camp turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, like a purgatory on earth.

The brutal battle was gradually coming to an end. From afar, an advance legion composed of elites from the ancient remnants + an elven army, a total of 20,000 alien coalition forces were rushing towards them.

Glancing at the loot in the camp, Hudson shook his head secretly. There are indeed many logistical supplies, but very few are suitable for expeditionary military use.

"Leave ten days of rations, and set fire to the rest when enemy reinforcements arrive!"

If you don’t get it, you will be destroyed. Any kindness in war is a sign of irresponsibility to one's own people.

Even though the alliance of ancient remnants swept across all directions and occupied countless territories and cities, the amount of food and supplies they captured was not much.

On the one hand, the Warhammer Kingdom has been fighting for years, and its agricultural production has been severely damaged, and there is not much food in stock; on the other hand, before the army evacuated, it organized a large-scale burning of supplies.

Refugees are pouring into the Principality of Moxi crazily, and the news of the arrival of the alien army cannot help everyone make up their mind.

Everyone is lucky, and no one is willing to leave their hometown unless necessary.

The real reason was that the nobles saw that the situation was over and were unwilling to leave materials to benefit the enemy, so they took action to "clear the country" in advance.

Not only materials cannot be left to the enemy, but the population must also be taken away. Otherwise, those who stay will be ready-made rations for the enemy.

It can be said that except for a few resistance groups who were unable to leave due to various reasons, the remaining people were forced to join the migration team.

The way to verify whether the enemy's supplies are sufficient is very simple, just look at the quality of the military rations.

…

"Stop advancing, there is an ambush from the enemy ahead!"

The elf young woman's sudden voice caused the expeditionary force's ambush plan to fail.

In front of the strong men in the Holy Realm, no matter how well you hide it, it's useless. A large group of soldiers and horses are lurking, and they can be spotted hundreds of meters away.

"Detour around both wings and launch an attack!"

Hudson ordered without changing his expression.

The war cannot be smooth sailing, and if the ambush fails, the battle will still continue.

What was different from the past was that while the two armies were clashing, Hudson and the elf young woman also locked onto each other.

"Since Marshal Hudson is here, why not come out and see him."

The elf woman's magnetic voice made Hudson's mind wander, and he secretly wondered whether the person in front of him had succubus blood.

Then he gave up this unreliable idea. The elves who pay attention to blood inheritance cannot tolerate demons polluting their racial bloodline.

If the elves were not so stubborn in this regard, their situation on the mainland would definitely be much better than it is now.

Hudson believed that as long as the elves were willing to make foreign marriages, human nobles would definitely flock to them. You can enter the core of human power without spending a single soldier.

With the long lifespan of the elves, in a few hundred years they will be the ancestors of the mainland nobles, and they can definitely share the hegemony of the mainland with the human race.

Of course, while sharing the hegemony of the continent, the elves will soon be assimilated by the humans.

There is no way, this is determined by the racial base. There are millions of elves and more than one billion humans. The gap in numbers is really too big.

In the past history, the races that were assimilated by the human race were not just one family or two families. There are still many nobles with special bloodlines on the mainland, and their ancestors have married with foreign races.

It's just that as time goes by, the proportion of foreign bloodline is getting lower and lower, and these mixed-race children slowly degenerate like ordinary people.

"Of course I want to see you soon. I wonder what you should call me?"

As he spoke, Hudson had appeared in mid-air, facing off against the elf woman under the protection of the dragon and bear.

Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see the outline of the other person's body, and his intuition told Hudson that this was a stunner.

No evidence is needed, there are not many ugly elves in the first place. If you add the temperament of a strong man and match it with the white unicorn holy beast, your appearance will be improved to another level.

"Dalys!"

The young elf woman said resentfully.

Hudson vaguely felt murderous intent, but did not take action directly, presumably because the other party was weighing the odds of victory.

In fact, Hudson also wanted to strike first, but he felt that the risk was a bit high.

If he is cornered and someone uses some secret technique, it would be a tragedy to die with him.

There is no hatred between the two sides. They are just on opposite sides because of their different identities and positions. There is no need to risk their lives.

"Delice, this is not your war, why do you need to bring your tribe here to die?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

This was not just talk. The top experts from both sides restrained each other, and the two elites began to clash with each other.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The sound of arrows piercing the sky broke the silence of the night; the dazzling magic became a bright light in the dark night.

"Magic, retreat quickly and don't enter the range of the enemy's crossbow!"

"Archers strike back!"

…

From the anxious command sounds, it can be known that during the short confrontation, the alien coalition forces suffered a lot.

The range of the magic crossbow is much further than that of the bow and arrow. The magicians who were originally in a safe zone also unfortunately entered the fire coverage.

In a short period of time, dozens of magicians were caught off guard and sent directly to see the Elf Goddess.

Sending archers to counterattack was also a big failure. Even though the elves' archery talents far surpass those of humans, their current opponent is a magic crossbow.

Whether it is the range of lethality or the firing speed, it is not comparable to ordinary elf archers.

Choosing to shoot each other at this time is undoubtedly self-inflicted. Even with the blessing of a sharpshooter, he could not withstand the rain of arrows.

In the battle of firepower, the elven army only suffered a loss, while the coalition forces of the ancient survivors on the side were simply passively beaten.

Watching his tribesmen continue to fall, the Giant King angrily ordered:

"Charge over and engage the enemy in close combat!"

You can't do anything unless you fight hard. The giants of the giant family really suffer from this kind of long-range fire attack.

The result of rushing out is nothing more than sending yourself up to be beaten.

It is impossible to fight in close combat. As long as the enemy is close, the reinforcements will retreat.

Anyway, the offensive weapon is a magic crossbow, which has very low requirements for the user. Just aim sideways and backward and shoot.

They are all made of flesh and blood, even if they have rough skin and thick flesh, they will still feel pain if they are hit by an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the giant's screams spread throughout the battlefield. The tragic scene was noticed even by Hudson in the sky.

"snort!"

After giving a cold shout to express her dissatisfaction, the beautiful woman did not answer directly. Instead, she used her mental power to transmit the message:

"Xiao Bai, let's attack together. Do we have a chance to take down that annoying guy on the opposite side?"

They suffered a loss on the battlefield below. If they wanted to make a comeback in a short time, the best way was to directly capture the opponent's coach.

Shaking its head, as if something terrible had happened, the unicorn holy beast turned around and ran away with Delise.

The young elf woman's face turned red with anger, she hurriedly grabbed the silver horn and reprimanded sternly:

"What's wrong with Xiaobai? I'm asking you a question. Why are you running around?"

"Stupid woman, whoever is running around, I am saving your life!"

"A giant dragon + a bear of the earth, who can you defeat?

Without looking at the opponent's size, he clearly touched the beauty of the second level of the sanctuary. I feel like that dragon can hit both of us.

Delise, maybe you fell in love with that pretty boy and were too embarrassed to say it, so you sent it there on purpose..."

Before the unicorn could finish speaking, the elf woman slapped him down.

Other people's unicorn holy beasts were pure and flawless, but hers looked like a gangster, and could often drive her almost to death.

"You little bastard, go back quickly, I still have to direct the battle!"

While reprimanding him, she immediately gave up her plan to capture the king. Hudson's strength seems to be average, but the mount is really powerful.

If a fight breaks out, it's not worth getting beaten.

As for the danger, Delise is not worried. Everyone is in the holy realm, and even if they can't win, they won't be defeated all at once.

The most he can do is hide in the army in a bit of embarrassment and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"Delice, if you want to capture that pretty boy, there is actually no chance.

As long as you use your charm to seduce and make the other person relax their vigilance, there is still a chance..."

The young elf woman couldn't bear it anymore and immediately got angry and said: "Shut up!

You obscene beast, if you keep talking nonsense, I will castrate you..."

Seeing Delise's anger, the one-horned holy beast showed a hint of pride in his eyes, wanting him to fight for his life - no way.

The unicorn holy beast clan has long been on the verge of extinction, and there may not be more than thirty survivors in the entire continent. As a genius beast that hopes to revive the race, it cannot take risks easily.

In the middle of the fight, the elf woman returned to the battlefield again and stunned Hudson.

I just asked tentatively, is there such a big reaction?

In the battle below, the elven army did suffer a lot, but the ones who suffered the most were the coalition forces of the ancient survivors.

After the initial losses, the elf magicians set up the magic shield as quickly as possible. Although it could not completely block the arrow rain, it also greatly reduced the lethality of the magic crossbow.

On the contrary, it was the stupid Tie Hanhan from the ancient relics who didn't even have a shield, so they rushed forward desperately and continued to contribute to the expeditionary force.

Of course, the most important thing is that no one has ever encountered the rogue style of play of the Expeditionary Force.

In the past, when human knights encountered such situations, they would bravely confront them head-on.

The enemy changed his tactics, but he did not update his tactics accordingly. This is when the tragedy happened.

Along with the heavy casualties suffered by the coalition forces of the ancient survivors, the flanks of the elven army were also exposed, and they unknowingly fell into the encirclement of the expeditionary force.

The battle went surprisingly smoothly, which doubled Hudson's confidence.

No wonder the Mongols were able to sweep across the Eurasian continent in the previous life. If the cavalry and archery tactics were used properly, their power would be beyond imagination.

Compared to horse archers, magic crossbow cavalry is more lethal. Regardless of cost, this is definitely a killer.

"Miss Delise, have you thought clearly? Your army is already trapped in a tight siege, and continuing to fight will only increase casualties.

This is not your war anyway, just surrender and the expeditionary force will accept prisoners.

It just so happens that I still have a captive group of elf magicians in my hands, you..."

Perhaps she was stimulated, Delise became angry and said: "Shut up!"

"Despicable human race, you are still a famous general in the mainland, but you actually...

Wait, our magician group has become your prisoner, this is impossible!

great……"

How could he become a saint if he loses his composure so easily? Are all the elves so talented?

No one could answer Hudson's question, but his inner understanding of the sanctuary changed again.

Perhaps the understanding of laws has little to do with one's character of mind, but purely depends on one's talent, luck and bloodline.

It’s no wonder that neither magicians nor knights have any requirements for xinxing in their training, let alone any methods to specifically train xinxing.

"Miss Delise, this has nothing to do with the great elf goddess. When it comes to the battlefield, we are all soldiers.

Soldiers live for war, but they are definitely not meaningless sacrifices. Why continue a war that is destined to fail?

The population of the elves is not large, so saving the lives of the people as much as possible is what you, the coach, should do.

According to the ancient covenant of all races, I can guarantee the treatment of your captives. As long as the nobles pay the ransom after the war, you can leave. "

Hudson said hard.

Unfortunately, after the brief gaffe, the young elf woman had recovered and saw through his sinister intentions at a glance.

"Marshal Hudson, did you get your great reputation all by talking about it?

So what if we have the upper hand, our reinforcements are already on the way and will be here soon.

Unless your subordinates can destroy us within an hour, otherwise...hehe..."

The sudden change of face left Hudson speechless. Sure enough, hundreds of years old antiques are not easy to fool.

"Delice, are you sure the reinforcements will arrive on time?

Do you think that I didn't arrange anyone to block the reinforcements? Or do you think that the armies of the Ancient Relics Alliance are all elite and my people can't even delay? "

The sudden questioning, with the blessing of magic, spread directly throughout the battlefield.

Obviously, these words were not only meant for Delise, but also for the soldiers on the battlefield.

Everyone present has a say in whether the army of the Ancient Relics Alliance is elite. Especially the soldiers of the ancient coalition forces on the battlefield, they know the most information and have the least confidence.

As a carefully selected elite, they were passively beaten on the battlefield, so how could they dare to have confidence in their colleagues whose combat effectiveness was not as good as theirs.

"Fell into a trap!"

Seeing that the morale of the army was affected, the young elf woman immediately understood.

Unfortunately, the established fact has been created and it is impossible to undo it. All the alien coalition soldiers knew that reinforcements would not arrive on time, and panic gradually dominated everyone's sanity.

"Marshal Hudson has good tactics, but it's a pity that we are not so vulnerable. Although your expeditionary army is claimed to be a hundred thousand troops, it actually only has more than 35,000 people.

It has gone through many wars and it is impossible not to be damaged. Apart from these troops on the battlefield, there may not be much left.

If we want to divide our troops to block our reinforcements, we must have troops to divide them up. How long can a mere few thousand soldiers and horses delay the army?

Half an hour, an hour? Such a small amount of time will pass by just procrastinating. "

Delise hurriedly made amends.

But the effect of these soothing words was not as good as expected. On the contrary, it proved from the side that the reinforcements were blocked.

After completing the psychological tactics, Hudson just laughed and said nothing. The more times like this, the more calm you have to be.

How long the reinforcements could be held back, Hudson was not sure. Originally, he just wanted to take advantage and leave, but he never expected that the enemy would be so cooperative, and Jian Jian, who was in a light car, came over and killed him.

Whenever the enemy brings a heavy infantry, the lethality of the magic crossbow will be greatly reduced. The lethality of arrows also changes with distance.

Within fifty steps, arrows can easily penetrate heavy infantry armor; at a distance of seventy steps, arrows can only penetrate ordinary armor.

If the distance was extended to 150 steps and the arrow landed on the armor, only a sound would be heard and at most a mark would be left.

Just because armor can block it doesn't mean that flesh and blood can also block it. Even at a distance of two to three hundred steps, being hit by an arrow will still kill someone.

The ordeal on the battlefield is painful. Watching one of the elf soldiers fall down, a look of anxiety gradually appeared on Delise's face.

The elven army below had launched a desperate counterattack, but the situation on the battlefield made her frightened. Even if the two sides fought together, the human cavalry would not be left behind at all.

Coupled with the constant sneak attacks of crossbows, on average, three elven soldiers were killed before one human cavalry could be taken away.

For the elves, this style of play is a complete loss of blood.

Looking at the scale of the expeditionary force, we know that being able to produce more than 30,000 such elite cavalry means it is replicable.

With the huge base of the human race, as long as they are willing to spend money and resources on it, it is possible to cultivate one hundred thousand or one million cavalry.

"Retreat", as soon as this thought arose, Delise killed it.

In a head-on confrontation, the army can still hold on. If it retreats, it will expose its back to the enemy.

The war of attrition continues, and the exchange ratio on the battlefield is gradually shrinking. There is no other way. The magic crossbow shoots happily, but the arrows consume a lot of money.

The original kiting tactic has now become a head-on war of attrition. At the critical moment of life and death, the elf army still showed its due qualities.

Compared to Delise's sadness, Hudson's smile remained unchanged. Even in close combat, the cavalry still had an advantage over the infantry.

If the consumption continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army of elves in front of us is destroyed.

…

"Don't get entangled with the enemy, just disrupt their marching rhythm!"

"Detour and flank attack!"

Jose kept giving orders.

Blocking the coalition of ancient relics, this was the first time in his life that he commanded an army in a real battle, and he could use it to his fullest.

"withdraw!"

"Let's destroy the enemy's camp!"

Hudson's order to him was to delay as much time as possible. There were no specific requirements for how to fight, as long as the Warcraft Legion did not suffer heavy losses.

When the enemy troops were less than twenty miles away from the camp, he made five sneak attacks on the enemy troops and feinted to attack the opponent's camp three times.

The specific results cannot be calculated. Anyway, the purpose of delaying time has indeed been achieved.

The marching team of 200,000 troops is not ordinary long. Picking a random location to attack can create quite a bit of chaos.

The coalition of ancient survivors is still advancing, but its marching speed is really worrying.

According to the agreement, they should have arrived at the battlefield long ago, but they only walked halfway, which made the kings feel numb.

Now they finally understand why tens of thousands of Behemoth cavalry were able to contend with the 700,000 Warhammer Kingdom army for several months, and finally cooperated with the orc army to win.

Now they were in a similar situation. In order to guard against the enemy's cavalry sneak attack, the kings of all races had to order the formation to advance.

The safety of the army has been guaranteed, but the speed of the army has also been delayed. Marching in formation in the dark night is also a test for the troops.

Because the roads could not accommodate military formations, the non-combat attrition was not as high as usual. Stepping on a trap accidentally, slipping, or... there are too many accidents that can happen in the dark.

"Report!"

…

"My dear kings, the enemy is attacking our camp again!"

Upon hearing the news from Snow Eagle, the kings had no reaction. Apparently everyone has become numb after hearing too many stories about the boy who cried wolf.

"Ignore them and let's move on!

The battle situation on the front line is in crisis, and the reinforcements sent have fallen into the enemy's siege. If the delay continues, not to mention preserving food and grass, I am afraid that the reinforcements sent from the front may get in.

Especially the Elf army, if we suffer heavy losses due to our slow reinforcements, we will not be able to explain it to our allies. "

The Macaque King said with a tired look.

The useless fight led by the enemy is really heart-wrenching. I was really afraid of the trouble, so I simply ignored it.

"well!"

After sighing for a while, several kings who originally wanted to object also chose to shut up at this moment.

"Since no one objects, let's pass on the order and let the troops speed up their march!

According to the news from the front line, more than half of the advance troops have been killed, and the Elf army has also suffered a lot of losses.

His Holiness was also irritated by the enemy commander. If we were slow, she would vent her anger on us, and you can imagine the consequences. "

The Shadow King said decisively.

He has made similar decisions several times. The right to speak in the alliance is also gradually expanding unconsciously.

The only problem is that without overwhelming strength, it is difficult to truly convince everyone. Relying on subtle recognition alone, this is a long-term process.

…

The bloody battle is still going on. The battlefield was like a millstone of flesh and blood, constantly devouring the lives of officers and soldiers on both sides of the war.

Even though he was used to seeing life and death, Hudson's expression became a little solemn. After so many years of fighting in the north and south, this is the first time for a real elite showdown.

Elites are forged in blood and fire, and tonight will be the transformation of the expeditionary force.
