Real elves vs fake elves

"My level is ten or even nine times his! Your so-called worry is an insult to me. If it weren't for your status, I would have made you a wizard slave long ago!"

The person who was trash-talked by the two mages was a merchant lord, who was also one of the three speakers of the Commercial Council in the Commercial Union. But now this man with the highest status among the merchants had a bitter look on his face.

The kind that almost makes me cry.

Uncle, please don’t send me off!

If we continue like this, the elven wizard will come and we won’t even have anyone responsible for breaking the spell!

There have been several camps that were wiped out by the elven mages due to lack of mages. The tragic scene was enough to make anyone cry.

The Commercial Alliance's troops have never fought such a disadvantageous battle. Our equipment has always been better than the enemy's, our numbers are greater than the enemy's, our war machines are more sophisticated than the enemy's, and our wizards are more skilled than the enemy's.

Now things are almost reversed, big brother.

Have you guys who claim to be "absolutely rational people" not realized this yet? !

The big businessman roared in his heart, of course he only dared to think these words in his mind, he absolutely dared not say them out loud.

The mages were naturally aware of the big businessman's inner thoughts, but their pride and "rationality" made them choose to ignore them.

Are numbers of people useful in the face of magic?

Can war machines, which cost so much resources and money, be comparable to the power of magic? The answer is still no.

Equipment, is there any difference between iron-wrapped meat and cloth-wrapped meat in front of a mage? Still no.

It is indeed reasonable and rational for a mage to choose to look down on any other professions and things.

As long as a dragonborn or something doesn't suddenly appear, the mages are majestic and afraid of nothing!

After all, even mages can't stand the dragonborn...

"Don't choose to sneak into the underworld again." Suddenly, a clear voice sounded, and it was like a clear spring that made people feel comfortable and smooth.

Hearing this, the big businessman quickly knew who had come to this place. With gratitude, he immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from. At the same time, tears were streaming down his face, looking very dramatic.

"Lord Clemena, you are finally here. Please quickly arrange the battle against the elves. Our coalition forces cannot be in chaos any longer."

Seeing Clemena walking towards them, the two wizards did not dare to be negligent and were no longer as arrogant as before. Although they did not know whether they were convinced in their hearts or not, they were definitely convinced verbally by the magic master from the Fantasy City.

"Master Clemena, what do you want?"

Clemena: "...I already know the relevant information about the Elf Forest. I will take over the command of the coalition forces next. Don't worry about those other forces. They have already given up the command of the army through some transactions."

"We will use a week to integrate the coalition forces, and then launch a large-scale military operation against the elves."

"We mobilized an army of 100,000 men for this operation.

According to the generals of the Human Empire, it is impossible for a general who can lead an army of 100,000 to fail. "

"We will definitely win this battle!"

Therefore, without a proper command center, without any staff, without any strategic planning, and without determining a clear strategic goal, the mages confidently carried out large-scale pre-war preparations.

I don't know what to prepare, probably just prepare the necessary supplies.

...At the same time, in the Red Dragon Principality, the fat man who had been missing for a long time in many people's imagination...

Looking at the dwarf in front of him who was a whole head shorter than him, Nicholas gritted his teeth in anger.

The opponent defeated and captured me easily, but did not make any intention to kill or imprison me. Instead, he did all kinds of humiliating things to me.

In fact, with Nicholas's intelligence, he soon discovered that behind the humiliation was a behavior that seemed like teaching. During the time he stayed with the bandit chief Altria, his levels in various aspects, including military talent, personal strength, and logistics deployment, had made great progress, and he was growing rapidly every day at an astonishing speed.

Nicholas thought that his self-study in his hometown had already brought his level to the limit, but who knew that his trip to the Elf Forest had greatly improved his level. He thought that he had reached his limit again, but who knew that after being captured by Altria, his level began to increase again...

The other party was indeed teaching him, but this was not a reason for Nicholas to choose not to hate the other party.

The daily humiliation brought Nicholas to the brink of an explosion, but this surging rage was always ruthlessly suppressed by Altria.

It's really miserable.

On this day, after the routine training, Artoria began her daily taunting.

"The elves in the Phoenix Court are quite capable. They were able to train a loser like you to this level. To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought your performance would be even worse."

The clear voice, although very pleasant to hear, could not tell whether it was from a man or a woman. It was like the voices of the castrati in the cathedral. It sounded very pleasant at first, and it was still very pleasant if you listened carefully. However, such a lark-like voice sounded like the whisper of the devil to Nicholas' ears.

It seems particularly disgusting and damnable.

Nicholas: "Why are you talking about elves again? And what have you been doing these days? What are your intentions?!"

Altria: "Of course it's because of your brother."

Nicholas was stunned.

Artoria ignored the surprised expression on the other person's face and chose to continue speaking: "When I was an adjutant under your brother, I often heard him say that his younger brother was the real hero, and he was just a fake."

"I have always felt very unconvinced. In my opinion, your brother is a nearly perfect man. I have accompanied your brother on the battlefield for many years. He is always able to create all kinds of miracles, always able to lead by example, always able to get along well with the lowest of the poor, and always able to do all kinds of things beyond our imagination."

"Now that I have chosen to stand on a different side from him, I naturally want to see what kind of person this so-called true hero is."

"Now it seems that he is nothing but a waste, just like those damn nobles, waste."

Chapter 90: The Elves Actively Engage in Large-Scale Battle

Nicholas gnashed his teeth and looked at the damn short man in front of him, his face full of resentment but he said nothing.

Using his brother's name to stimulate him is indeed effective, but not that effective.

When he was young, Nicholas did have the idea of ​​surpassing his brother, and had a secret desire to shock everyone. However, after his unremitting efforts, he still could not surpass his brother, and after finding that the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger, this buddy simply chose to lie down.

After giving up, Nicholas discovered that it was really refreshing to just give up when faced with difficulties...

He has lived in this muddle-headed yet self-important way until now, and was finally stimulated by the elves. It seems that he felt that this level of stimulation was not enough, and now this dwarf named Altria ran to him and stimulated him crazily.

It was driving him crazy.

He started to roar in anger, and Nicholas didn't know how to refute him, so he could only speak nonsense with full momentum: "Asshole! Don't underestimate the nobles!"

Altria: "Really? Then can you give me some examples of nobles who are excellent, kind to the common people, and have a spirit of dedication?"

Nicholas: “…”

Completely stunned.

Altria: "You don't want to use your brother as an example, do you? You and I should all know that your brother is an absolute exception. Do you want to use the exception to represent the whole?"

"Like Aenarion is an enlightened and humble elven king, so all elves have enlightened and humble characteristics?"

Nicholas was so speechless that he was speechless.

Because the examples given are so reasonable and well-founded, they are simply impossible to refute.

Altria: "Speaking of elves... The Commercial Union and the Seven Cities Alliance have formed a mob of more than 100,000 people to attack the elves..."

Before he finished speaking, Nicholas spoke directly.

"They lose."

Suddenly receiving such a positive answer, Altria couldn't help but look at the muscular man in front of her with a new respect.

"My judgment is the same as mine, but I didn't expect you to give such a positive answer."

"I thought you would have some confidence in this mob."

"Because I have seen the elves' army." Nicholas was silent for a moment, "That is... a military force that I have never seen in my brother's army."

………………

"The elves are coming to kill us! The elves are coming to kill us!"

A human warrior screamed desperately to the signalman behind him, but even this roar that almost broke his throat was barely audible under the continuous and terrifying bombardment of the Eagle Claw crossbow.

"Have the wizard report to the headquarters! We have encountered the main force of the elves here! The enemies are everywhere! And they have powerful heavy war machines! We are facing 1000 elves... No, 2000!"

Under the desperate roar of his commander, the messenger nodded tremblingly, then turned around and ran quickly towards the rear where the mage was.

Regardless of the combat power of these carefully selected "speedsters", their running speed would surprise ordinary elves. The continuous explosions seemed like they were chasing this guy relentlessly, but they were always one step behind and could not really catch up.

After running wildly along the complex terrain for more than ten minutes, the messenger slid into the underground bunker where the wizard was staying, and then saw a red, brain-opening corpse lying on the ground motionless.

That is the wizard of their army, and this unique shape is the scene caused by the failure of the battle.

The messenger was so horrified at seeing this scene that his soul was almost scared to death.

The failure of the wizard battle meant that there were no specialized spell-breaking personnel, and that the opposing wizard could unscrupulously cast all kinds of destructive magic on them and others.

This thought flashed through the messenger's mind so quickly that it probably took less than 0.1 seconds. The moment this thought appeared, the messenger made a decision.

run.

Run quickly.

Run before the elf's magic falls on your head!

Leaving his comrades behind, the messenger quickly left the underground shelter, but the moment he stepped out of the building, the raging flames descended upon the place like a violent storm, and the flame storm caused by the intersection of wind and fire began to sweep across the human stationed position.

In the absence of a wizard to break the spell, magic can be devastating to mortals.

Such scenes appeared everywhere in the human coalition. The elves seemed to have drilled out from the ground, attacking and interspersing everywhere where the human coalition was stationed, cutting the entire coalition into pieces. Many weaker small armies lost contact directly, and the armies that did not lose contact were also frantically asking for help from the headquarters.

There is no so-called front army, central army, or rear army. Everywhere is the front line and everywhere is the battlefield.

The coalition headquarters located in a city was receiving requests for help from all directions. Just three days ago, this group of mages were full of confidence and wanted to do something big, and they made a week-long preparation plan. However, before they could come up with anything, the elves took the first step!

Do you think this is irritating?

This is not playing by the rules. As the defender, shouldn't you hide in the woods to defend? What's the matter with taking the initiative to attack?

"Lady Clemena, three more camps have sent us messages asking for help. They all said they were attacked by the main force of the elves, and the number of people besieging them is more than 1000."

Sitting in the center of the command center is Clemena, who is only the size of a loli. Although she looks very short, and she is actually very short, no one present dares to underestimate this woman who likes to act young, including the wizards.

Perhaps the wizards may not be convinced by this woman in terms of academics, but when it comes to torturing people and palace fighting, the wizards are still convinced.

Clemena: "In every message sent to us asking for help, have you ever heard that we were attacked by the main force of the elves? Have you ever heard that we were attacked by an elf force of more than 1000 people?"

"What was the result? They were beaten to death by one or two hundred elven warriors. Where was their rigor as mages? Where was their pride as mages?"

To be honest, the loli voice still sounds very nice when it comes to insults.

Ignoring Clemena's meaningless insults, the wizard continued to report the situation: "Two more troops have requested to enter the headquarters. They total about 500 people. Most of their equipment and war machines have been damaged or lost. It is obvious that they were lucky enough to evacuate here after being defeated in the war."

After hearing this, Clemena stopped cursing and began to ponder.

Chapter 91 A demoralized mob

The Allied Forces Headquarters was just a newly built small town. Although it was built magnificently with the help of several wizards, the magnificent buildings were only the defensive buildings. Because there was no real commander to guide it, the logistical facilities inside were seriously lacking. To give a simple example, let alone toilets, there were only a dozen wells in the fortress with tens of thousands of people. Even the most basic

There is a serious shortage of drinking water in Japan, and it is obvious that no groundwater source has been explored before the site was selected.

In short, this magnificent fortress might be able to withstand an elf siege, but it is unlikely to withstand an elf siege.

All I can say is, resist.

This is going to cost me my life.

Clemena's inner thoughts at the moment were that the elves' offensive was very fierce, and it would be necessary to recruit more people. Although the magic power of the magician was boundless, when it really came to the end of the road, a mere war grandson could also influence the situation on the battlefield.

"Let them in." Clemena said calmly, "Let them take charge of the southern city wall. The merchant lord there reported that he found traces of elven ranger activities. Although the elves have not yet reached the city, they have obviously launched a large-scale reconnaissance of our area."

The mage took the order and retreated. As soon as this guy left, another mage came over.

Seeing that she didn't even have time to rest for a moment, Clemena's forehead veins twitched, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only signal the other party to start reporting new bad news.

"There is a special signal for help here... It's from the son of the city lord. You can't not send someone."

After hearing this damnable talk again, Clemena finally couldn't help but yell.

"Idiots! They are all a bunch of idiots!"

"Send reinforcements, send reinforcements. Don't you know what the consequences will be if you send reinforcements?"

"The elves are just waiting for us to send out reinforcements! Then they will ambush us in all kinds of unexpected places and kill all the reinforcements we send out!"

"Over the past few days, no matter how many people we send out, that's how many people have died! No matter how many people we send out, that's how many people have died. Do they think the coalition headquarters has endless manpower?"

"Is there anyone willing to follow the reinforcements now? You?"

Hearing Clemena's scolding and even seeing the guy in front of him pointing his hand at him, the mage was so scared that he took several steps back.

How could he not know what the consequences would be if he went out to support? But the Seven Cities Alliance put pressure on him!

If you take the initiative to bear this pressure, I naturally can't say more, but you don't have any intention of bearing this pressure...

After taking a few breaths, Clemena finally calmed down. She glanced at the wizard in front of her and gave orders again.
