What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

The remaining 5,000 troops will be divided into five teams. After the main force attacks, they will attack in all directions to intercept the reinforcements of the Troll Empire army, disrupt their operations, and make it impossible for them to distinguish which direction is the elves' ultimate goal.

And in the rear, there are 20,000 elven soldiers ready to go.

These elven soldiers were not elite, but they were equipped with muskets and cannons produced by the Elven Empire. When Elendil's raid succeeded and broke through Grom, these soldiers would immediately move forward, destroying any troll strongholds they saw along the way, and implement a comprehensive cleanup policy.

If the battle goes well, they may even be able to push the territory of the Troll Empire back hundreds of kilometers in a very short time! And set up fortifications on the spot. If it really comes to that, I am afraid that even if Jinzaka, the sanctuary, goes to the battlefield in person, he will not be able to save the defeat, and can only retreat again like a hundred years ago.

Expanding territory is the dream of every soldier!

Due to the hundred years of harassment and raids on the Troll Empire, the Southern Legion has a thorough understanding of the northern part of the Troll Empire.

Where is the fortress, where is the defense point, where is the village and town, which area is the must-contest place...all of these are depicted on the map in great detail. In addition, the elf sentinels can come and go as they please and can go for reconnaissance at any time, so they know this area even better than the local trolls.

Before the battle, Elendil sent many scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the trolls along the way.

The defense line of the Troll Empire did not seem to be much different from previous years. The same location, the same military strength ratio, the same defensive fortifications...even as time went by, the military strength in these places continued to decrease.

It seems that the Troll Empire was completely unaware of the elf Elendil's military actions.

In El'Arendil's opinion, the trolls must think that the Elven Empire is too busy dealing with various things this year, and the Southern Legion suffered heavy losses in the Fruman District, so they will not carry out the Holy Cleansing. After all, there have been cases of not launching Holy Cleansing in previous years. At this time, it is a good opportunity for the Troll Empire to seize the time to produce and live, and they will obviously not miss it.

This series of information made Elendil more and more confident, because no matter from any indication, the Troll Empire had no defense at all, which was simply a great opportunity for them.

One hundred years

The Elf Empire spent a full hundred years trying not to destroy this "dirty" and "ugly" country, allowing the sacred elves to occupy an entire continent.

And now, this opportunity is in front of Elendil! This will be a good opportunity for her to redeem herself and become famous!

You dirty trolls, let your blood be used as stepping stones for me to climb up.

Elendil looked at the quiet forest in the distance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a cruel arc.

Behind her, the elf soldiers were already fully armed, with their weapons and arrows as sharp as dripping water.

The war...oh no, the massacre has begun.

Chapter 303 Raid

Spring is coming to an end.

The dense jungle is full of life.

The forest at night is filled with the chirping of insects and birds. There are also unknown flying insects emitting fluorescent light, slowly swaying under the treetops. It is unknown whether they are providing some light for other creatures, or waiting for an opportunity to attract other unsuspecting insects to come and die.

But at this moment, there were bursts of noise coming from the bushes under the big tree, disturbing the glowing flying insects. They were frightened and scattered, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

In the darkness, teams of elven soldiers quietly emerged, and then quickly shuttled between the bushes.

Their light bodies, coupled with the blessing of divine magic, allow the elves to move silently at night, without even waking up the sleeping beasts around them.

Soon, the elves arrived at their destination, a troll outpost.

"Lord Padrodil, we have arrived at our destination."

"What time is it?" The leading female elf named Padrodil walked to the front of the team with two huge scimitars on her back.

The soldier glanced at the moon in the sky and said, "We should still have about two quarters of an hour before our scheduled attack. We didn't encounter any trolls along the way, so our march was not hindered."

"There is still time. Don't rush to launch an attack. Send out sentinels to observe first." Padrodil said

As soon as he finished speaking, two elven soldiers crouched down and slowly crept among the bushes under the cover of night.

It wasn't long before they came back.

"How about it?"

"Reporting to the Lord." An elven soldier said, "There are two trolls on the sentry tower, seven patrolling soldiers on the left, and four on the right. Most of the lights inside have been extinguished. It seems that they are not worried about being attacked."

"This is no longer the trolls' front line of defense." Padrodil said, "It's normal for them to be unprepared. Explore again and report back, and then launch an attack when the time is right."

In order to increase the suddenness of the attack, El'Arendil selected five spearhead troops and asked them to sneak through the troll defense line and prepare to launch a surprise attack from behind to directly disrupt the frontline defense of the Troll Empire.

This was a very dangerous task, after all, the trolls also lived in the jungle and were very sensitive to any disturbance in their habitat. Once discovered, it was very likely that they would be surrounded by the trolls.

But no one knew whether it was due to good luck or the trolls' lack of preparedness, but their journey seemed particularly smooth.

It seems that Lord Elendil's judgment was correct. The trolls believed that the spring ploughing season had passed, so they were no longer on guard.

Looking at this poorly defended outpost, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Padolodir's mouth.

It's hunting time!

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and Padrodil ordered the attack without hesitation.

The moment the horn sounded, dense arrows flew out of the wind, and before the patrolling troll soldiers had time to react, the arrows pierced their vital points.

thump

thump!

The troll's body collapsed in the camp.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The elves are coming!"

The trolls in the outpost finally came to their senses and immediately sounded the alarm. The harsh sound of metal collisions stirred the air wildly, turning the peaceful forest upside down.

The reaction speed of the troll soldiers is quite fast, but the reaction of the elf soldiers is even faster.

A dozen elven warriors quickly climbed up the wooden wall outside the outpost, a few of them jumped onto it, and then launched an attack on the troll soldiers inside.

Padrodil drew his two swords and rushed to the front of the team.

Seeing this, a troll warrior immediately raised his spear and stabbed forward, but she twisted her slender waist slightly and dodged nimbly with her whole body. Then she flipped her right wrist and the scimitar was already hanging on the troll's neck.

Pyr...

The head fell to the ground, and the blood was spilled on the green leaves

"It's the butcher! Butcher Padrodil is coming! Run!"

"Help!!"

Fortunately, perhaps because Padrodil's reputation was too great, the trolls in the outpost collapsed at the first touch and could not put up any decent resistance at all. After just over ten minutes, a large group of elven soldiers broke in and began to occupy the commanding heights in the outpost, preparing to kill the fleeing trolls with their superb archery skills.

But when these archers reached the highest point, the scene before them made them feel extremely confused.

How come these troll soldiers run so fast!

The door had just been broken into and the soldiers inside had already scattered, making it impossible to see any targets at all.

"Report to the Lord. The outpost has been occupied by our side. Two of our men were killed and seven were injured. Forty-five trolls were annihilated and no prisoners were taken."

After listening to his men's report, Padrodil immediately frowned.

This number of casualties is really too small, whether it is the trolls or our side.

"Sir, this battle is indeed very strange." The elf soldier said, "Looking at the size of this outpost, there should be at least 300 troll warriors inside, and there are also complete fortifications. But in fact, we basically didn't feel any decent resistance."

Padrodil tapped the battle report with his fingers and said, "What about nearby? They won't use the empty city strategy to lure us in, will they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Padrodil immediately shook his head and denied himself.

The outpost's fortifications were very complete and very suitable for defense. If it was really an empty city plan, Padrodil was confident that he could lead his men to defend the city until the end of time. The trolls were not unaware of the elven archers' ability to defend the city.

Abandoning strong fortifications and choosing to ambush in the wild... the trolls are not that stupid

"There is no ambush around." The elven soldier said, "The warriors who were chasing them just now have returned. They said that these trolls fled very fast without any hesitation, and we couldn't catch up with them."

"It sounds like the trolls have suffered a major rout." A divine magician said, "Maybe they didn't expect to be ambushed at all, and they were not mentally prepared, so their morale collapsed and they fled in panic."

Padrodil shook his head and said, "I know the trolls too well. They are different from the soldiers in Inya. They are as tenacious as old tree roots. Even if they know they can't win, they will still rush forward and fight for their lives. It is rare for them to retreat like this."

"But after all..." Shenshu thought for a moment and continued, "They were hastily engaged in the battle without any preparation, and they ran away before they had the will to resist. This is reasonable."

Padrodil did not refute the divine magician again, but from her expression, it was clear that she was not convinced.

Chapter 304: Lightning of the Elves

Padrodil ordered his men to check the outpost again.

This outpost looks ordinary, nothing special. Food, weapons, supplies are all available, and there is even a lot of bacon left over from the trolls' dinner in the kitchen. It seems that the trolls have been living here before.

"It seems that I was just worrying too much." Padrodil finally shook his head and said to his men, "Send back what happened here truthfully. Let's move on."

"Yes!"

After the elves rested here for a while, they burned down the outpost and continued to attack.

The moment the raid begins, it means the war has officially begun.

Once the arrow is on the string, it is impossible to stop. For the spearhead troops, their goal is to tear the hole as big as possible before the trolls react, saving time for the main force's attack.

By the afternoon of the second day, Padrodil had reached their destination, another troll outpost, unhindered.

In order to save time, Padrodil did not even wait until dark before launching another attack.

But what she didn't expect was that the same situation happened again. The trolls in the outpost collapsed again without any resistance. They simply abandoned the huge outpost and ran into the jungle.

When did trolls become so cowardly?

Padrodil put the scimitar back into the scabbard in disappointment. This time when it was unsheathed, the blade didn't even have time to drink blood.

It wasn't just Padrodil; several other spearhead troops encountered the same situation.

All the trolls they encountered only launched a few symbolic attacks and then fled madly to the rear. This performance was even more miserable than that of the Venetian army.

By the time El Arundil led the main force to launch the raid, almost all the outposts on the border of the Troll Empire were uprooted. El Arundil had no obstacles along the way, and his march was like taking a walk in his own back garden.

In the simple camp, Elendil listened to the report summarized by his men.

The first phase of the battle is drawing to a close, and their progress is much greater than expected.

"Master Legion Commander! We have just conquered the Three Star City of the trolls." Just as he was immersed in the joy of his unstoppable success, a voice came into El'Arundil's ears.

"Break it? So fast." El'Arundil was delighted, and then said: "It seems that the trolls are indeed negligent in defense. Notify the generals of each wing to come to a meeting, tell them to leave some troops to burn the city, and the rest of the troops are ready to continue to march."

"Yes!"

The so-called three-star cities are three simple cities closest to the front line of the Troll Empire. Rather than being cities, they are large outposts to monitor the movements of the elves. On weekdays, the three cities send soldiers to patrol and monitor each other, and exchange information with each other.

If a war really breaks out, these three cities will cooperate with each other in defense, use their efforts to delay the attack of the Elf Empire and buy time for the rear.

In all previous sacred cleanups, the elves would retreat when the three cities sounded the alarm and the entire Troll Empire began mobilizing for war.

Therefore, the elves even jokingly called these three cities the trolls' strings. Once they were plucked, the troll empire would panic and be on full alert, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but very fun.

Jinzaka also knew that these three cities alone could not resist the elven army. Their only role was to sound the alarm! Therefore, they only built necessary defense facilities. This kind of crude fortification was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Elendil.

Indeed, it took Elendil only half a day to break through the gates of the three cities. The elven army entered in succession and attacked the heartland of the Troll Empire.

The Troll War has officially begun! The troll's strings were completely smashed and destroyed.

"Mr. Legion Commander!"

Not long after, all the generals came to El'Arundil's tent. The spearhead troops also returned. Padrodil and other leaders of the spearhead troops bowed respectfully to El'Arundil.

"Well! You did a great job." Elendil looked at the generals of the spearhead troops with satisfaction and said, "Thanks to your help, the large army can move so smoothly."

"That was because the legion commander had commanded well. He came up with a circuitous method and launched a surprise attack that caught the trolls off guard." An elven general said, "We didn't encounter any decent resistance along the way! They never thought we would appear behind them."

After hearing this, Padrodil couldn't help but frown.

She had wanted to say that the trolls were retreating too quickly, which was a bit strange, hoping to alert Elendil and her colleagues. But she didn't expect her colleagues to flatter Elendil in this way, so how could she say the reminder?

El Arundir smiled and said, "Everyone thinks that we elves can only fight positional battles and can only fight under the protection of ancient trees. Little do they know that our surprise attack capabilities are also very strong. It's time to teach the various races in the main plane a good lesson! Otherwise, they will think that we elves are easy to bully."

As he spoke, the guards behind him had already hung up the map around Gorom.
