Real elves vs fake elves

"Number... 87 people, all archers. One of them is a high-ranking knight who serves as the commander. His mount is a 'Shadow'-level horse. They are not the main combat force of the White Deer Court. They should be the militia that was just temporarily recruited."

After simply recording the size and characteristics of the enemy, the ranger hiding in the dark also did not forget to complain.

"How can they be called militia without even a trace of training? Have they not been in the standing army beforehand?"

The military service system of the Lothern elves is different from that of other elves. Every elf will report to the military camp after reaching adulthood and begin his five-year full-time standing military career. After retiring from five years of military service, the elves will receive a generous reward and will also undergo large-scale intensive training for one month every winter. In addition to the rest day on weekends, there is also one day for military training.

Basically, Lothern's military system is a demon in this world. People who don't know would think that the Phoenix Court is guarding against some chaos demons...

And Aenarion is obviously not the most crazy. As the chief god of the Phoenix Court, he is even more crazy about the military service system.

Aenarion said that if he didn't set up a 50-year full-time standing army, he would not be a man of Asur. This remark made Aenarion laugh so hard that he used his brain to suppress the dangerous idea.

Because of Lothern's crazy conscription system, Lothern's militiamen also seem to be very crazy about war. For example, this ranger is now hesitating whether this group of people should be described as armed civilians or militia in the intelligence.

"who is it!"

Just when the ranger was striving for perfection in her intelligence, such as the personnel intelligence that was almost written into a thirteen-line poem - the kind that could be sung as an aria, and the intelligence map that was almost drawn into a realistic landscape painting, a clear and sharp shout disrupted her thoughts. The female knight had discovered the ranger without her knowing.

Although he was a little annoyed at having his thoughts interrupted, the ranger was prepared for the possibility of being discovered. After all, the close reconnaissance was indeed too close, with the nearest White Deer King Court warrior only about two meters away from the ranger.

The female knight's shout not only alarmed the ranger, but also her subordinates. This group of archers who had hardly received any effective military training instantly panicked. Some of them chose to huddle together while others ran around. In the sudden chaos, the formation that had been somewhat organized was instantly blown up, and the degree of organization instantly dropped to zero. The female knight originally wanted to chase the enemy immediately, but as expected, she was successfully slowed down by her subordinates.

The ranger spread out her cloak and disappeared almost instantly. With her superb stealth skills, she had absolute confidence in her abilities. Even though she was discovered, she still did not take the female knight seriously.

But unfortunately, we can only say that the suffix of the first part of "Harem Overlord" is indeed quite powerful. Just after the ranger quickly rushed outward for more than 100 meters, he suddenly found some movement on the right side behind him.

Chasing after me?

Just ignore that group of chaotic armed civilians?

The thought in his mind was only a flash. The ranger's speed of attack completely surpassed his thinking time. He turned around and drew his sword smoothly. With a "clang clang" sound, the two sides had fought three times in an instant.

It's not a terrifying speed that ordinary people can't see, but it can definitely be described as lightning fast.

"Who are you?" The female knight stared at the ranger in front of her. She knew at the moment of fighting that the opponent's attack speed had reached her reaction limit. If there was any mistake, even if she failed to catch the opponent's movement for only 0.01 seconds, she would be at an absolute disadvantage.

The ranger did not answer, as if he had determined that the other party would not answer. The female knight narrowed her eyes slightly, and without any sign, the two of them attacked almost at the same time, fighting again with incredible swiftness.

It was as if a violent wind was howling, and the two warriors seemed to have merged into the gale. The two wind-like sword forces collided, roared, and shattered in opposite directions. If an uninformed person was living here, it would look like a small whirlwind blowing on the forest floor from a distance. It seemed harmless, but in fact, the fallen leaves that fell into the vicinity of the whirlwind would be quickly chopped into pieces, and the fragments would be evenly distributed like a work of art.

Both of them are fighting fast, both of them are inhumanly agile, and both of them have reaction speeds far beyond that of ordinary mortals. It seems that the fight only takes a moment, but in fact, there is no telling how many dangers are involved.

The small whirlwind that was hiding the murderous intention stopped, and the two sides stood face to face in the forest again. The big sword in the female knight's hand began to glow with a supernatural light, and the sword was intact, perfect as a work of art.

But the ranger's twin swords were far inferior in comparison. There were several notches of varying sizes on the swords, some places had the blades slightly curled, and there was even an imperceptible crack spreading across the swords.

After all, it is just an ordinary steel weapon, and it pales in comparison to the real enchanted weapons.

Chapter 22: There are as many people as good at fighting as me as you want.

"You will lose." The female knight said calmly. Although she was nervous in her heart, she looked very confident on the surface. "You are strong, but not strong enough. At least not strong enough to cover up the impact of weapons on combat effectiveness with strength alone."

It was like a declaration of victory. This was not for showing off. In fact, the female knight was trying to change the ranger's mentality with words.

After all, in a fight of life and death, even the slightest mistake can be turned into a huge advantage. The female knight now hopes to make the opponent reveal some flaws.

However, the ranger opposite the female knight smiled brightly.

"Is this the only combat capability of the White Deer King's Knights? It seems that once the White Deer King declares war on us, it will be the time of its demise."

"What do you mean?" The female knight frowned. "What do you mean my fighting ability is only this level? Is my fighting ability very poor? Do you think you can definitely defeat me?"

The female knight's mentality was slightly disturbed and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"It's not that I think I can defeat you, but..." The smile on the Ranger's face became even wider, "You can't even defeat me."

"Every one of Lothern's troops is no less powerful than me."

"Liar!"

The female knight shouted angrily, interrupting the ranger's next words. She also drew her sword and stepped forward, aiming for the enemy's head with extremely fierce sword force.

She didn't know why she suddenly attacked. It seemed that the other party's words made her feel truly terrified.

This fear made her subconsciously take action to stop the other party from speaking next.

It was this rash move that reversed the situation on the field in an instant.

Two spherical white objects suddenly jumped in front of her eyes. The female knight subconsciously blocked them with her sword, but she didn't expect the two spheres to suddenly explode in the air. At that moment, the scene in front of the female knight was instantly enveloped by endless light.

"what!!!"

She let out a scream. The strong light not only made the female knight unable to see, but also made her feel severe pain. The previous fight prevented the ranger from using flash bombs, but it was because of the female knight's rash advance that the ranger had the opportunity to use hidden weapons.

Just like what the female knight had thought before, when the gap between the two sides is infinitely close, any small flaw will be infinitely magnified.

Just when the female knight felt that she might die here this time, a noisy sound rang out, and shouts came from far away. Listening carefully, it was nothing more than shouts of "The enemy is here!" "Help the sir quickly!" But after shouting for a while, no one rushed up. This chaotic movement seemed more like the mob trying to give themselves courage.

With the strength of numbers, ordinary people who seemed to have never been to the battlefield also had a little more courage to fight the enemy.

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, more than a dozen arrows of different shapes were shot out at the same time, but this was only the first wave. If she could not force the ranger back, then she would face a continuous rain of arrows. By then, even with the ranger's skills, she would inevitably be shot into a hedgehog.

"What happened? That guy suddenly disappeared?"

"Where did it go? Where did it go?"

"What happened?"

"Where are the enemies? Why can't we see them?"

"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?"

There was another noisy sound. As the female knight had expected, the ranger chose to retreat when facing a team of nearly a hundred people.

She let out a long breath, and after realizing that the enemy's night attack group 6, 9, 4, 9, 3, 6, 1, 3, 5 had really retreated, the female knight almost couldn't stand, but because of the morale of her subordinates, she still used all her strength to barely stand.

After a while, the female knight's subordinates seemed to think that the enemy had really retreated, so they tiptoed forward to try to help their commander. With their actions, this conflict was completely declared over.

The female knight stared at the direction where the ranger left as her vision gradually recovered. She tightly grasped the sword in her hand. Although her facial expression could not reveal anything, from the blue veins on her sword-holding hand, it could be seen that this girl was definitely not in a good mood at the moment.

"Can anyone have her strength?" She gritted her teeth and made a barely audible sound. No one around the female knight could hear what she was saying. "Even if you want to break my mental defenses, you wouldn't have to use such a clumsy lie."

The second half of the sentence was not actually spoken, but it was also the main reason why she was angry.

That is, she was almost broken by such a clumsy lie.

Because of the sneak attack, the female knight thought the ranger was lying, but sometimes the truth is the most disturbing thing.

………………

Inside the caravan, Aenarion was checking the intelligence sent by the rangers. Although trading could not be considered a real war, he did not dare to be negligent, especially when there were unusual movements in the White Deer King's Court. He had to guard against any irrational actions by the neighboring countries that were "separate from each other by a strip of water".

If such a disappointing thing really happened, then Lothern could only use his various equipment to make those friendly neighbors come to their senses.

"Sir, a ranger discovered the White Deer Court's... armed civilian team." At this time, Da Xi knocked on the door of the caravan and handed over a stack of information. "The White Deer Court seems to be very interested in the goods in our caravan."

"They are more interested in the well-developed Lothern." Aenarion took the information sent by Daxi and complained lightly, "Those guys... Lothern has been abandoned for so many years, but they didn't come to repair, build and colonize it. Instead, they waited for others to develop and build it, and then they came to pick peaches."

"How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"And they didn't even wait until the port was repaired before picking the peaches. Can't they see how great the potential of Lothern is after the port is repaired? They are really short-sighted."

When Daxi heard Aenarion compare the people of the White Hart Court to rats, for some reason she smiled exceptionally brightly, a smile that came from the heart.

After carefully checking the personnel information and topographic map sent by the ranger, Aenarion hesitated for a while, and finally felt that he needed to emphasize it again.

"Tell the ranger to not be so... so particular when conducting reconnaissance next time, and don't write the intelligence in cursive. I don't mind reading shorthand."

Even though the elves in this world are extremely weak in every aspect, they are exactly the same as the mainstream elves in Western fantasy worlds in terms of elegance, so authentic that it makes people grit their teeth.

Aenarion still couldn't imagine how these people could draw such artistic landscape paintings with just a charcoal pencil in the complex environment of the wild, with enemies everywhere around them.

Wouldn't it be better to use this time to do something else?

Chapter 23: You, Kislev, stole the chariot fortress, but I, the High Elf, couldn’t?

Daxi looked at the various information compiled by Aenarion, only

After just a few glances at the various documents, this lady showed that she was confident.

"It's just a few dozen armed civilians. Apart from the knight leading them, the rest are no big deal."

"Do you want me to bring some people to kill them all?"

Aenarion sighed and said, "Kill, kill, kill, kill. All they do is kill, kill, kill. How many elves are left? Why are they so destructive?"

Da Xi: "But these people are not wild elves after all. They may not be willing to convert to Phoenix God. The belief in Moon God is still very stubborn in the Ten Royal Courts."

Aenarion: "Then supervise them first, and then let them do hard labor. A few priests will come to them from time to time to spread the doctrine and give them some eggs. Take your time. This kind of thing can't be rushed. Let the priests explore and prepare themselves mentally. When the Flower Valley Court completely breaks off relations with us, the captives of the Ten Courts will only increase, and their work pressure will increase."

Although the turkey is not in tune with everything, it is still a complete god after all. Compared with the half-dead Moon God who was swallowed and only half of his body was left, it is still much better.

At least the Phoenix Royal Court really did send boiled eggs.

Da Xi: "So you mean capture them alive? Capturing them alive is more difficult than annihilating them. What are you going to do?"

Aenarion: "Easy. Set a trap."

Da Xi: "What about the bait?"

Aenarion's eyes gleamed with a faint, arresting light. "Of course, that is the last known Birthborn in the world."

The reason why the Ten Courts targeted the Phoenix Court was never because of wealth or armed forces, but because of Aenarion himself. As the only remaining Lightborn Elf in the world, Aenarion naturally had a strong claim to all elven forces, and he had always been domineering since he crossed over. There was no reason for the leaders of the Ten Courts not to know that he was a true Lightborn.

Faced with the true descendants of light who are completely immune to the three-piece set of "treating, beheading, and accepting as a dog", as long as the elven kings still have a little attachment to power and as long as they still want to remain in a position above everyone else, they will not sit idly by and watch the banana of Darkmos hanging over their heads.

Following Aenarion's declaration, the caravan's combat units began to move like precise gears. Detailed combat plans were distributed to every combatant, and the double-paid non-commissioned officers gathered together to discuss more detailed tactical combat plans. The caravan of more than 100 people began to act as carefully and coordinated as one person. Everyone worked together to weave a gorgeous spider web, waiting for the arrival of their prey.

The prey did not disappoint the hunters. After all, it was not a high-end prey. The militiamen who were temporarily recruited had lost their organization very quickly due to the lack of supplies. If they did not attack quickly, this small force would probably collapse on its own.

One afternoon, the female knight felt that the golden opportunity had finally arrived.

The caravan was gathered in a basin-like terrain, all huddled together. In the female knight's expectation, she only needed her archers to line up in a row, use the advantage of the commanding heights to diffuse the rain of arrows from top to bottom, and at most add a final charge, and she would be able to take away the group of merchants in one go.

I can only say that it’s a really beautiful thought.

When the rangers brought back information that the White Hart Court's army was preparing to launch a surprise attack in the basin, Aenarion was a little stunned. He had set up several traps, and this was the most crude one. He had simply treated it as one of the traps, but he didn't expect that this trap, which was obviously a trap, would easily catch the big fish.

It was really unexpected.

"Are you sure? This kind of basin will accumulate water when it rains, and because there is no commanding height, it is impossible to patrol effectively at night. There are also many blind spots in the field of vision. Any caravan that has made a business trip here would not choose to camp in this kind of terrain. And you told me that this group of people fell for this bait?"

Aenarion's tone fluctuated slightly, not because of any emotion like surprise, but simply because he felt that he had made so many preparations and spent so many brain cells, just like two swordsmen fighting each other, one had just thought of all kinds of routines and held his breath, and the other just fell flat on his face.

This shit is really outrageous, it's like flirting with a blind man.

Da Xi also grinned: "Maybe, the commander is a guy who has never been on a war and has always been on garrison duty. But it's a good thing for us, the weaker the enemy, the better."

Just as the two were sighing, the caravan's bells suddenly rang out, sounding "ding ding ding", which also indicated that the enemy appeared within sight.

It was as if the caravan had been rehearsed countless times and had become a muscular instinct. With the loud sound of the bell, the caravan suddenly moved. All the pack animals pulled the caravans to the outermost edge and placed the huge vehicles horizontally. Several elves jumped onto the caravans and quickly unfolded the thickened wooden boards on one side of the caravan. Each car was also connected by iron chains by several elves, and shields, wooden boards and other defensive equipment were quickly placed on the iron chains.

In just a few minutes, the caravan formed a simple camp, which even looked like a small wooden fortress at first glance.

Chariot formations are very good at defending against small groups of cavalry or raiders on hills and plains. When there are no heavy war machines, it is not Goode, it is Wai Rui Goode.

And just as the Lothern caravan's convoy was fully deployed

Finally, the attacking group of armed civilians were able to deploy in a long snake formation. However, after all, the high ground has the advantage of range when attacking the low ground, so the caravan's archers did not shoot first, but observed the enemies who came rashly through the shooting holes.

The female knight of the White Deer Royal Court knew something was wrong after seeing the caravan's formation. The extremely slow preparations before the battle had already made her lose the initiative. Facing a fully prepared enemy, it was difficult to fight head-on with such a small force. But thinking of the increasingly chaotic team in the past few days, and the "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity in front of her, and because of the caravan of only more than 20 people in the formation, the female knight finally made up her mind and drew out the enchanted longsword from the scabbard.

"The enemy is right before our eyes. Their numbers are only a quarter of ours. Warriors, shoot as much as you can. Use up all the arrows in your quivers!"

After a round of encouragement, the White Deer Elves took advantage of the terrain and began to shoot. Arrows rained down from the sky. The precise attacks made the warriors of Lothern unable to raise their heads, and effectively suppressed the remaining archers in the caravan.

At this time, if there were warriors wearing heavy armor and carrying large shields to cover the archers' slow shooting, stopping every ten steps, the pressure on the chariot formation would be increased to a higher level, and it is possible that they would be directly defeated by this slow but unstoppable offensive.

But alas, let alone the White Deer King's Court, even among all the elven forces in this world, there are no warriors wearing heavy armor and holding shields.

Chapter 24: Female Knights Are Often Unable to Resist Goblins

The dense rain of arrows has lasted for nearly five minutes. To be honest, the scene in front of me is really awkward. The main reason is that the female knight doesn't know how to deal with such a tough problem.

The old-fashioned positional tactics of the 16th century left these nearly elves at a loss as to what to do. They also didn't know whether it was because magic was too advanced that caused the tactics to stagnate, or whether this world was simply relatively backward.

"Damn it! If there was a wizard here, he could easily smash this ridiculous pile of wood into pieces with just two fireballs!"

The female knight was indeed a qualified commander, and she saw the weakness of the chariot formation at a glance. But it was precisely because she saw the weakness at a glance that she felt it was particularly difficult.

The current rain of arrows is simply unable to cause effective damage to the enemy. If you want to really hurt the enemy, you can only find a way to destroy these simple shelters, but arrows obviously cannot cause effective damage to such simple shelters.

"Are we going to charge?"

Glancing at her subordinates who were shooting arrows non-stop, the female knight shook her head imperceptibly, denying her bold idea just now.

Expecting this group of people who have not received any proper hand-to-hand combat training to charge is not a war, but rather sending these ordinary people to their deaths.
