The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 199 Guerrilla Warfare
Attilan wasn't sure. He still didn't know much about the Water Elf Kingdom, and the semicircular defense line in charge of the Ranger General was really a bit too long.

The dwarf king felt nervous. He also hoped that the elves who had just become allies would send troops to support their dwarf kingdom. After Attilan threatened him, he was afraid that Vereesa would withdraw the army from the desert before he did.

The dwarf king suddenly said nervously:

"Lord Dragon, we dwarves need your support!"

"You can rest assured, this Dwarf King. As my first ally, the Dwarf Kingdom, I will do my best to help you overcome the difficulties. But on the way here, I believe you also saw the difficult situation within our country."

"So the manpower I can allocate may be limited."

The dwarf king showed a smile, waved his hand quickly and said:

"It would be great if the Dragon Lord can provide support."

To be honest, Attilan really didn't want to send his troops to face the Frost Giants.

They were all Frost Giants over six meters tall. They could knock the Minotaurs away with a swing of their sticks, especially the Frost Giant leader. Attilan felt like he could rush into the Minotaurs' front and mow the grass unparalleled.

Of course, the Frost Giant dares to do this, and the Minotaur can also use the iron ax in his hand to teach the Frost Giant how to behave, but the number of casualties will definitely be quite high.

So this time when facing the Frost Giant war, Attilan didn't even plan to send out a single tauren, so he sent all his troops!
And they are also long-range archery men and horses. After all, judging from the dwarves' troop allocation, they really need archers who are good at long-range strikes and can continue to provide support.

The Dwarf's Storm Ax Thrower is several times more effective when facing Frost Giants than melee troops, because the Frost Giants may not have other parts of their equipment.

But facing the dwarves, after years of blood and tears, they must all be equipped with greaves to protect their feet and ankles!

Especially with the addition of fire giants this time, even if it is not easy to build a full-body iron armor to arm the frost giants, at least the frost giants can get two iron greaves to protect their feet and ankles.

Now it would be difficult for the dwarves to use weapons to chop off the giant's feet and restrict the giant's ability to move, thus killing the giant.

In fact, the Frost Giants hunted large animals that lived in the snowy peaks. After using the fur to make leather armor to protect their feet, the dwarves' iron axes became much less effective.

The Dwarf King seeks the Purgatory Dragon Soul in the hope of creating battle axes with stronger armor-breaking capabilities and sufficient numbers to arm tens of thousands of people to deal with the Frost Giants.

"Dwarf King, the tactics we use this time are different from the past, so I hope you can send those troops that cannot go to the battlefield to guard the elven villages, while the elves will send ranger troops to deal with the frost giants."

The dwarf king was puzzled.

"There is such a big desert between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Water Elf Kingdom. It will waste a lot of time to mobilize troops to each other, right?"

Attilan calmly analyzed:
"If we want to win, we must do this. No matter how difficult the process may be, think about it for yourself, facing the frost giants, which one is more effective, the dwarf's battle ax or the elves' arrows?"

The dwarf king said it without thinking.

"Of course they are elven arrows. It is for this reason that Storm Ax Throwers are popular in our country."

Attilan then analyzed:
"The combined forces of the Frost Giants and Fire Giants are targeting the dwarves' weaknesses. So for the elves' troops, I think they are also targeting the ranger generals' weak melee defense capabilities."

"If you two switch your troops to defend, the enemy's arrangement will not work!"

Attilan's eyes were firm. Although this was just his guess, even if they transferred their troops to defend, the situation would not be likely to worsen.

Vereesa nodded and said:
"I agree with the Dragon Lord's arrangement. This is indeed the best approach we can take at the moment. There is just one question. Do we still have to fight for the treasures in the dungeon?"

"Our current military strength is not enough to support us in a two-front battle."

Attilan made the decision directly.

"Withdraw the troops, but not completely. Retreat the coalition forces to the forward position I have deployed in the desert. Once there is a situation in the underground city, we can make a long-distance attack into the underground city within one day."

Running a long distance of two hundred kilometers and then going into battle is nothing to the elite troops of the dwarves, elves, and Attilan.

"I will let the druid optimize the road conditions between the oasis and the grassland to minimize the consumption of the army during the attack. Now we will return to the oasis station in the desert and start deploying troops."

After flying hundreds of kilometers to the Ursine Forest, we had to rush back without even taking a sip of water. Even the strong bodies of the dwarves and elves were a little unable to withstand it.

After landing, their faces turned pale and their bodies were trembling.

Attilan, on the other hand, acted like a dragon who had nothing to do and gave the order to the three lieutenants of the coalition to withdraw.

After Vereesa drank some water and ate two bites of bread to regain [-]% of her physical strength, she took the three thousand argali knights assigned to her by the Dwarf King and headed to the core town in the north of the Water Elf Kingdom to garrison.

Stationed here, she could quickly provide support if a situation arises anywhere on the border. Vereesa had a rough idea of ​​the enemies the Water Elf Kingdom faced.

In the face of them, quantity is much more useful than quality.

One of the reasons why there are more rangers than druids among elves is that rangers can shoot a hundred arrows a day and kill at least fifty enemies.

However, low-level druids can only cast less than ten spells, and the number of effective kills will not exceed twenty.

The thousand and fifteen elf rangers she brought followed the dwarf king to the dwarf kingdom.

After all, they are guest troops from other countries and can only be used as surprise troops. They must not be allowed to attack the enemy directly. Attilan has also fully considered this issue.

Vereesa's excellent commanding skills meant that Attilan didn't have to worry about the dwarves disobeying her orders. After all, they had already jointly launched a war to destroy the country.

Vereesa's performance was remarkable. Apart from Attilan, Vereesa played the biggest role in the war.

Attilan's own military command ability is not too bad, but compared with military geniuses like Vereesa and the fishman Fisher, it is definitely not outstanding enough.

His merit is that he provided heavy rain and water mist that obscured the army's movements, making the raid efficient and effectively reducing everyone's casualties.

Attilan's excellent healing ability is also a calming needle that stabilizes the morale of the army. No one is willing to fight with such a leader who is strong in himself and can also protect the safety of his subordinates.

"I will command the Elf Ranger troops and the Centaur Archer troops. I need to go over to the dwarves in person to see if my guess is correct."

Vereesa asked curiously:

"What guess?"

Attilan looked at the faintly visible Ursine in the distance, and the waves caused by the battle between the swamp dragon and the Deathclaw, and said:

"I even think that once we withdraw our troops from the desert, the giants who attacked the dwarf kingdom will also withdraw."

"No way?"

The dwarf king's eyes widened.

"Will the Frost Giant be so obedient?"

Attilan said in a leisurely tone:

"Giants have a very strong sense of hierarchy. For giants with a higher status than themselves in the clan, they will generally carry out the instructions given by them unconditionally."

"No matter how ridiculous this instruction is, this war may even be driven by fire giants or even higher-status cloud giants."

No matter what is said here, it is just talk on paper. After the soldiers packed up the supplies, Attilan immediately ordered the transfer.

I don’t know when it started. Although the Kingdom of Atlantis was the weakest among the three parties, Attilan became the supreme leader of the coalition. "lets go."

Attilan left enough scouts in the desert to ensure that the Purgatory Dragon Soul would not fall into the hands of some behind-the-scenes forces who had ulterior motives and planned to destabilize a large area in the southwest of the continent.

Drawing a line from the Frost Giant's station to the Water Elf Kingdom, the land area of ​​the southwest area should account for more than one-sixth of the entire continent.

The richest land in the continent must have been in the central part of the continent, but now that land has been turned into the Ze Kingdom. The Water Elf Kingdom, which was not originally ranked high, has become one of the top five forces in the continent with the support of ocean trade.

The old naughty boy told Attilan that the richest thing in the entire material world is the continent under their feet. Whoever occupies this continent basically owns the material world.

The dwarf king rode the three-headed griffon and went back in advance to gather the army. According to Attilan's instructions, he moved the residents of the dwarf city that had already started a war with the frost giants. If they couldn't move, they hid in the mines.

Those troops and residents who may be affected must also be relocated.

As for the army, they need to go out to attract the attention of the frost giants first, and then hide in the mines. Every dwarf city has mines, and this is the battlefield suitable for the dwarves.

It's a bit too stupid to go head-to-head with a giant.

Attilan was on his way with the elves and centaurs.

When they arrived at the front line seven days later, they were greeted by the dwarf king with red eyes.

"Dragon Lord, the Frost Giant not only did not retreat, but also took the pickaxe provided by the Fire Giant and tried to dig out our mine tunnel and eliminate the soldiers and residents hiding in it."

Attilan frowned and asked:
"Have the Frost Giants shown such an attitude of killing them all before?"

The dwarf king shook his head.

"The frost giants are more interested in plundering our materials, killing our numbers, and ensuring that we will not continue to expand into their territory. They want to drive us out regardless of casualties like now."

"It's really the first time."

The dwarf king couldn't help roaring angrily.

"What are these damn giants going to do!"

"Where's the fire giant?"

The dwarf king shook his head tiredly.

"Gone. Ever since I appeared on the battlefield with the Griffin Knight, the fire giant has quickly disappeared."

"It really made me guess. It seems that our opponent is likely to be only the Frost Giant, but we must also be prepared for the Fire Giant's sneak attack."

Attilan likes sneak attacks so much, so naturally he has to guard against being attacked by others.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dwarf King. Next, let the Frost Giants experience my tactics."

It took Attilan seven days to arrive at the battlefield with the elves and horses, not only because the mountain road was difficult to walk, but also to practice the method of restraining the Frost Giants.

"let's start."

Attilan did not go on the field in person, but was led by Zhui Feng and the elf lieutenants to attack.

Because the dwarves were huddled in the mines, the Frost Giants simply dispersed into three groups, each blocking the entrance of a mine to hunt rats.

To be cautious, Chai Feng and the Elf did not divide their forces this time, but instead targeted the one with the smallest number of Frost Giants among the three divisions.

After approaching cautiously, he fired five rapid fire shots at the Frost Giant, who had become careless and began to cook the blue sheep and other meat that he had grabbed from the dwarves.

After shooting, turn around and run.

Most of the Frost Giants were only wounded, not killed.

Therefore, facing this sneak attack, the Frost Giant was even more angry!
It's like being bitten twice by a swarm of mosquitoes. Your first reaction is to fight the mosquitoes instead of running away.

The men and horses ran away after shooting, and the number of men and horses seemed to be less than a thousand, so the Frost Giants decisively pursued them.

Then they were ambushed by a thousand elf archers who were ambushing on the hillside. The elf archers were more skilled and had specially made arrows, and they killed seven frost giants in one go.

This made the Frost Giants very angry. They climbed the mountain decisively to chase the elves, but the men and horses returned and shot arrows at them. The leader of the men and horses blinded a Frost Giant's eye with an arrow.

The Frost Giants were directly divided into two teams, hunting down the elves and centaurs respectively.

There were obviously more Frost Giants chasing the Centaur team, not because the Centaur route was easier, but simply because the Centaur team was trash-talking and taunting them.

As a result, when they reached the next mountain pass, they were ambushed on the back of the hillside by five hundred elves who fired cold arrows to sneak attack.

The frost giants divided their forces to chase the elves again.

At this moment, there are only about 60 Frost Giants chasing the Centaur. Many of them still have arrows stuck in their bodies, and their movements are no longer as agile as they were at the beginning.

At the third mountain pass, the leader of the Frost Giants finally learned to be cautious and sent someone to climb up first to see if there was an ambush. If there was no ambush, they continued to pursue.

After chasing them all the way to the fourth mountain pass, a frost giant became a little flustered.

"Captain, why don't you give up chasing me?"

The captain slapped him directly.

"What are you afraid of! We are powerful frost giants, and you are scared by the arrows shot by insects like elves and centaurs?"

"No, I just feel there is an ambush ahead."

"With the iron armor provided by the fire giant, are you still afraid of the dwarves' ambush? I've had enough of the dwarves hiding in the cave. They have an ambush. It just so happens that I'm afraid that they will stay in the cave and not come out!"

"Keep chasing, kill these people and eat horse meat!"

The Frost Giant captain didn't know it, but the scattered elves, led by the dwarves, had converged from the trail to the fourth mountain pass ahead.

What was waiting for them was not just a thousand troops.

But 2000 troops, a thousand elves, and three thousand gryphon knights.

Even so, it was still a sneak attack with cold arrows. The arrows of centaurs and elves, and the spears of dwarves turned these frost giants into hedgehogs.

The dwarf king's eyes widened and he pointed at the body of the frost giant and asked:
"Just by keeping sneaking away, can the Frost Giants divide their forces?"

Attilan didn't expect the effect to be so good. The Frost Giants were too careless. In the past, they had always faced dwarves who were head-on. The most the dwarves could do was hide in the mines.

This was really the first time the Frost Giants had encountered this guerrilla warfare method of luring the enemy into dividing their forces and then concentrating superior forces to encircle and suppress them, so naturally they suffered a huge setback.

"Dragon Lord, you are really amazing!"
