Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 431: Shenmu Guard's Secret Mission

As more and more information flowed in, a tragic atmosphere began to permeate inside the elves.

Yes, no one is optimistic about the upcoming battle.

As old opponents, the elves certainly thought about some tactics to restrain the centaur. After all, the mobility difference between the two sides is too great. Even a full cavalry soldier still has a gap with the four legs that others bring with them.

The elves found the best restraint method, which is to use the fortress group to deploy a small force to slow down the enemy's mobility, and then encircle and suppress the enemy.

But to do this, a very flexible command and dispatch system is required. In the past, when the commander was clear-headed, relying on the convenience of the communication magic circle, except for the first round of the Centaur Allied Forces' debut, they entered the hinterland of the World Tree, and most of them fought on the border of the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime .

The so-called victory or defeat is just to see which side has more casualties. Like the former king, because of the grief of losing his wife, he fell into a trap by mistake, and was severely cheated. In the end, his life was also cheated. This can be regarded as the biggest loss for the elves since the confrontation between elves and centaurs .

However, this record may be broken this time...

Because of the strength and divinity of the World Tree itself, any intruders were weakened by most of them before they started fighting. In such a place, of course, no decent fortifications will be built. It can also be said that this environment looks the same as other places, but there are hidden murderous intentions, which is more conducive to the defensive side. This is also the reason why the Shenmu Guard does not need too many people to protect the World Tree.

But as long as you encounter an enemy who can suppress the power of World Tree, it will be the same as the irresistible little lamb meeting the big bad wolf.

Now that the peripheral defense system has not played a role, allowing the centaur allied forces to drive straight in, the chips in the hands of the elves are only two half-disabled armies. And whether one of them can be used, dare to use it is still a question.

Such a force is going to defend the world tree that is indefensible, and the opponent is still a strong army known for its mobility. Furthermore, based on intelligence, the opponent has about 2,000 people, four times the size of their own side, which makes the elves feel even more desperate.

If according to the existing tactics of the elves, the world tree is used as a defensive support point. The neighboring forces began to assemble, and after reaching a certain scale, they outflanked the centaur's rear, trapped the bandits to death, and then wiped them out. After all, if a small group of troops approached from behind the centaur, it would just kill them in vain.

In other words, it will take three days at the earliest to gather reinforcements that will pose a threat to the centaur...

Make it through three days? Not many elves have confidence, but no one has said a word of 'retreat'. In such a depressing atmosphere, they prepared for a war with no chance of winning all night. He only hoped that he could cause enough serious damage to the centaur before his own side was completely killed and injured, so that the other party would be so heartbroken that they would voluntarily retreat.

According to the report from Pushkin, the kingdom's intelligence minister, the Shenmu guards, including the three dead elders and two superhumans, showed no signs of collusion with the centaur. They were simply forced into the wrong civil war at the wrong time.

As for the reason for saying 'forced', it was because if Liena Titov hadn't directly exposed her opponent in public, forcing the Shenmu guards to have no room for maneuver, they might not have made it this far.

Furthermore, the miss and death of the master assassin Vasily Petrovich was also a crucial turning point.

In this regard, Fern curiously asked someone why he didn't continue to confess his love as usual and spare the other person's life.

"It was a transcendent who did it, right?"

Fern nodded.

"If I hadn't killed him, what are the chances that he would apologize later and let it go?"

Fern was speechless. Don't even think about it and know it's impossible. Those who can rely on their own efforts to transcend the level of life are not arrogant. Apologize? nonexistent. It is possible for these people to stick to their own ideas. Unless you meet a person who is strong enough to suppress people to the ground today, it is possible to make such a person calmly accept other people's ideas.

"That is to say, if I don't kill him, the elves on both sides will have a chance to sit down and negotiate. And the final result is likely to be that under the insistence of the assassin, both sides choose to give up my pawn. Then the enemy will start from two The Transcendent plus the three druid elders became the same five powerful elves, and there were an additional 600 to 700 elf veterans who were accustomed to attacking from both sides."

"Is it necessary to be so pessimistic?"

"Thinking about the worst situation first, and then thinking about how to avoid the worst situation, is what I have always done. Because I don't believe in my own luck, and I bet that I can meet the luckiest situation without working hard. If I don’t want to deal with all the elves present at the same time in a situation where one of the parties is tearing their face, the best way is to prevent the two parties from having the opportunity to sit down and talk and cooperate. Anyway, let’s get things done first, but the other side The one who is here is not the one I hope to get to this point."

The lich just shrugged noncommittally at such arguments. This kind of little person's thinking, probably this guy will never change in his life.

"Then what's next? Watch a play? Or do it?"

"We are here, is it possible to stay out of it?"

"It's quite difficult. In a real war, the sword has no eyes. If you see a centaur and say we are human, the other party will jump over us and don't come over."

"If you want to leave now, it's probably too late. Just run by yourself. I can't bear to throw away a pile of belongings. And morally speaking, they will fall into this situation. How much do I You should also take a little bit of responsibility. Well, just a little bit."

Although it was because of his own appearance that the king came to the World Tree, which led to subsequent development. If not, the World Tree incarnation would be wiped out again without anyone finding out. However, someone is still petty about the question of more or less.

"Then, are you going to intervene?"

"It depends, they don't necessarily need our help."

"I think that if we don't help, they will die. You didn't see the whole camp, it was like preparing for a funeral."

Side by side, the two walked towards the command tent that was running at full speed while chatting. The guard at the door wanted to stop the two of them. Lin didn't talk nonsense, and walked over the guards with a flash, and walked inside. Seeing this, Fern immediately followed.

The two magicians suddenly disappeared from the sight, and the elf guard seemed to be dazzled. He was still at a loss for a while, and looked around quickly to find the figures of the two. When they found that the two magicians had entered the tent and wanted to catch up and drive them out, they also found that the two young kings reached out to stop the guards from moving.

For the next battle, they need all the help they can get. Of the elves rescued from the God Slaying Magic Circle, only more than 30 people are still alive. Moreover, even if most people use magic and medicine to help them, they still need time to recuperate their bodies before they can return to their full state. Even if the elves who were able to move were forced to participate in the battle, there were only fourteen of them, and the rest were burdensome.

Rebelled, but the surviving Shenmu guards were allowed to commit crimes and perform meritorious service, and got back their own weapons and equipment. But what makes people angry is that the resurrection medicine and various medicines stored at the World Tree have been consumed a lot during the civil war of the Shenmu Guards that no outsider knew about.

It turns out that the tradition of erasing the consciousness of the World Tree is an act that has existed since the establishment of the former kingdom, and it is carried out every one hundred years. And during this hundred years, the elves of the Shenmu Guards would regularly donate blood on their own initiative. Perhaps actively donating blood will not have resentment in it, but it is enough to stimulate the ancient resentment spirits who have been imprisoned in the magic circle for a long time, allowing them to exert the ability to wear down the consciousness of the world tree.

If there were no accidents, the blood collected during a hundred years would be enough to wipe out the newly sprouted and ignorant World Tree consciousness.

The royal family who came here to accept the blessing, the little princess Valeria somehow made the consciousness of the World Tree concrete, appearing in the eyes of a very small number of people in the form of a kitten. The most important thing is that the incarnation of this World Tree actually has wisdom. Although it is not high, it is not easy to eliminate.

In order to obliterate the consciousness of the World Tree again, the three elders decided to perform a sacrifice to greatly activate the power of the God-slaying magic circle.

But not all members of the Shenmu Guard agree with such things, especially those young elves who have not experienced these things and are new to the guard. Not only to obliterate the consciousness of World Tree, but also because they have to hunt and kill living people to sacrifice.

So within the Shenmu Guard, a civil war broke out. The losers, that is, the elves who opposed the obliteration of the world tree consciousness, were finally hung above the magic circle to let blood, and became a firewood to promote what they did not want to implement.

Many precious secret medicines were also consumed in that civil war. Although the druids accompanying the army can do it for them, it is expected that there will be a big battle tomorrow. What if we wiped out all the druids who knew the resurrection technique today, what would we do tomorrow?

You must know how much magic the magician or druid accompanying the army can use on the battlefield ~www.NovelMTL.com~ What magic they use is strictly controlled. Being able to maximize the potential of his subordinates is one of the criteria for judging whether a general is good or not. So the Minister of War knows very well what he can do with the power in his hands.

Of course, being able to use it and squeezing it to the limit are two different concepts. And various potions are used to increase the magic usage limit of an army. Therefore, there is still a gap between the combat effectiveness of the well-off army and the poor.

It is true that the main material of the resurrection medicine is the leaves of the world tree, but it does not mean that as long as there are leaves of the world tree, the dead can be resurrected. It also needs a lot of auxiliary materials, as well as a cumbersome production process, in order for the potion to have a resurrection effect. If the body is somewhat incomplete, early repairs are unavoidable.

It can be said that the two civil wars that should not have happened have left the elves in a difficult situation. Now their attitude is very simple, that is to put them to death and 'not live'. None of the elves wanted to go back alive, they only thought about how to take away one more enemy before they died. To win this war, each elf would have to kill five or six centaurs before dying.
