Devil's Journey

Chapter 169 Full Attack
However, such a tactic was quite effective, and the harassment tactics of the half-elves were quickly contained. Many sentry posts and wooden raft passages were built around the small camp, and the results of the half-elves' battles decreased rapidly.

However, this kind of shrinking tactics is quite different from the purpose of the Verrol people's battle. They are obviously here to sweep the half-elf tribe, but such a group of defense
It was too passive, and soon Sharna changed her tactics, sending half-elves to attack the crusade army's logistics transport team continuously, wearing down the fighting spirit of the Verrol people piecemeal.

Although the Verrol increased the escort force of the transport team, and even staged a few hidden ambushes, which in turn wiped out many half-elven sneak attack teams, they still couldn't change the passive situation.

The Marshal Rhodean of the Crusade Army was also in a dilemma at this time. Ever since he came to take over the command, he had keenly sensed the threat lurking in the enemy army. The hidden murderous intent made him dare not act rashly.

However, withdrawing the army was also a decision he could not make up his mind to. If he retreated easily, his fame in the first life would probably be ruined, and if he really retreated, Tranquility Forest would also fall into the hands of the green dragon lord.

At that time, the merchant alliance will need to build fortifications along the [-]-kilometer-long Tailun River to prevent the invasion and plunder of wild monsters everywhere.

That green dragon may also appear in the sky of the business alliance from time to time, using its own advantages to wantonly threaten to plunder the wealth of the business alliance.

At that time, all the faults will be borne by him. Even if he will not be held accountable because of his legendary strength, the reputation of himself and his family will inevitably be greatly damaged.

But if you don't withdraw, you can only seek a battle with the enemy's main force, and through a decisive victory, you can reverse the previous disadvantages.

But this is not easy, because the initiative is not on our own side. Although the Pegasus knights hovering in the air cannot accurately find the half-elf brigade from the forest, the mages can only provide limited vigilance.

The only good news is that the Pegasus knights have found the enemy's main camp, but the bad news is that the opponent is also building a fortified defense camp, which seems to be to fight with their own side, or to wait for the attack of the crusade.

Rhodean is an old man over 150 years old. The legendary status gave him a longer lifespan, but it also made him a little less decisive.

The last time he led an army was decades ago, when he led the army to fight against the Griffin Kingdom in the north. At that time, he had just been promoted to the legendary rank. He was aggressive and brave, and he led the attack to tear apart the Griffin Kingdom army. Front, was seriously injured in exchange for the victory of the whole army.

After the war, he became a hero, and single-handedly promoted the originally unknown family to the top family of the business alliance, but this forced promotion also made his family inevitably have many problems.

For example, the children of the family are becoming more and more corrupt and dandy, and the whole family has become depraved and can only be maintained by him, and he
It seems that he is also facing the dilemma of being pampered for a long time. For decades, he has only barely been promoted to the second level of legend, and then there has been no progress.

(Legendary ranks follow the first, second, and third ranks. Theoretically, there is no limit, but in fact it is limited to the fifth rank. Most legends above the fifth rank will choose to find the path of becoming a god.)
Stroking his well-groomed beard, Rhodean frowned and stood on the wall of the barracks, looking at the forest in the distance, and there were stumps that had been felled everywhere. He had never hated the forest so much as now up.

"We must attack. Those half-elves are harassing the logistics more and more rampantly." Rhodean finally made up his mind to attack with all his strength and defeat the opponent's main force while his side still has an advantage in strength.

"As long as there is a victory, even if it is a miserable victory."

After hesitating for a long time, Rhodean finally made a decision and began to order his subordinates to dispatch. The heavy infantry of the legion cleared the way, the heavy soldiers with axes felled trees to widen the road, and the crossbowmen covered their own soldiers.

Under the cover of the guards, the mage led his apprentices to continuously cast spells to level the land, and assisted the engineers to solidify the road and set up wooden rafts to cover the road. Behind them were priests and priests who were treating the injured soldiers of their own side. Many young and strong men followed the army cautiously, pulling the baggage cart.

The action of the army is like moving. More than 2 soldiers and nearly [-] civilians are like ants. They perform their duties and dismantle the repaired camp, and then move it to the next site tens of kilometers away for reconstruction. .

"Interesting, tell me, what will happen if we retreat a few dozen kilometers?" Julian sat at the top of the long table in the large tent in the army, and asked curiously after hearing Sharna's report.

"Eh? This master, you don't really want to dismantle the camp and retreat, do you?" Senia asked with a bitter face. Although the construction of the camp is done by the subordinates, it is also very tiring just being a supervisor.

"Master, there is no need for this. Right now we have [-] people in our army, and we can definitely fight a battle. And with the help of Master, victory is already inevitable." Liya, who was sitting on Julian's left hand side, rarely Showing a gentle expression, he said softly but firmly.

Deducting the casualties during this period, there are still more than 1 half-elf soldiers, and the two batches of wild monsters add up to [-]. In addition, there are [-] demon troops, a total of [-] troops. It's not less than Verrol's crusade army, but the quality is slightly worse.

Half-elf soldiers are not good at legion battles, and can only be used as archers or skirmishers. Wild monsters are powerful and fierce but undisciplined, suitable for assaulting the enemy. The half-elves and wild monsters are worse.

In addition, the equipment is much worse. Even the equipment of the devil army is far inferior to Verrol's army, and it will suffer in this regard.

"Don't we have a camp to defend? Maybe we can wait until the enemy is tired of attacking?" Alice, who was sitting on Julian's right hand side, also offered to make a suggestion.

"Defense actually doesn't add much to our army's advantage, and building camps is just to show our determination to spend it. Our army, whether it's half-elf or those wild monsters, is not suitable for defense, and the enemy has three hundred Pegasus knights in the air, a five-five The heavy artillery unit with more than a hundred people, if they defend the camp, I am afraid that the battle damage will be even greater." Liya opened the collected information, then shook her head and rejected Alice's proposal.

Julian leaned on the seat and maintained a serious expression in control. After nodding slightly, he asked, "What do you mean, Nalia?"

"Attack, attack with all your strength, and open a passage for you to behead the opponent's marshal." Liya looked at Julian with a little fanaticism in her eyes: "After this battle, master, you can add a legend to your throne." Tier's head."

Julian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his interest immediately increased. Yes, he still lacked a significant victory on his throne, and he was going to decide the head of the crusade army leader.
