Xia Qi leaned on the office chair, holding his eyebrows with his left hand, and placed his right hand on the table of the desk, tapping rhythmically.

This is his habitual action when thinking.

According to Xue Li's report, the opponent's low wall of several meters high was obviously nothing to fear.

Therefore, the focus is on the wood elves' troop types and terrain advantages.

According to Xue Li's description, the wood elf named Luke is a very powerful elf druid who can transform into a giant eagle to fight.

After he transformed into a giant eagle, in addition to possessing extremely fast flight speed and melee combat ability, he could also cast two low-level wind spells, the first-level breeze technique and the second-level wind bomb.

Able to fight in close combat and cast spells.

This Elf Druid is quite difficult to deal with.

Tarke had also said before that the Elf Druid was one of the top arms of the Wood Elf clan, and its training requirements were extremely demanding. One hundred Wood Elf mages might not be able to produce even one Elf Druid.

After becoming druids, they have to find beasts to refine beast spirits, and then sign a contract with them.

Xia Qi felt that instead of calling this a Druid, it would be better to call it a Beast Spirit Mage.

In short, the strength of the animal spirit often determines the strength of a druid.

The strength of a beast spirit is often determined by the strength of the beast.

Moreover, a druid can only sign a contract with one animal spirit in his life. Once that animal spirit suffers heavy damage and dissipates, that druid will also die.

It can be said that one is prosperous and both are prosperous, and one is deprived of both.

The attribute constitution of the animal spirit often determines the attribute constitution of the druid.

Take Luke as an example. The animal spirit he signed a contract with is a giant eagle, which is also an eagle spirit.

The attribute of the giant eagle is wind, so Luke, who signed a contract with the eagle spirit, can transform into a giant eagle and cast and practice wind spells to a certain extent.

Of course, this level is very low.

To put it bluntly, Luke can basically only use low-level wind spells, which may also be related to the strength of his animal spirit.

But no matter what, this profession is far from the fifth level as imagined, and there will always be a solution.

Take Luke, for example. If he really only has that level of ability, a general holding a magic equipment inlaid with a second-level magic core can achieve similar effects.

Now for Xia Qi, the most difficult thing is that this guy can fly.

If Xiaobai hasn't evolved yet, Xia Qi believes that he can turn the tide of the battle to a certain extent.

Of course, if Xiao Bai has completed the evolution, then with his magical power, he might be able to fight that Luke.

After thinking about Xiaobai's majestic appearance after his evolution for a while, Xia Qi took out a piece of blank paper and began to think about the configuration of the troops for this encirclement and suppression of the wood elves.

In order to prevent Luke from turning into a giant eagle and attacking from the sky, anti-air troops are necessary.

There are 1,000 elven archers equipped with swift wind arrows, 1,000 elven guerrillas, 1,000 red fox archers, 1,000 double-sword wolf warriors, and 1,000 sword-and-shield soldiers as front-line melee troops.

At the same time, just in case, another 500 cavalry were sent to Xue Li to raid the formation outside.

As a result, the total force sent by him has reached 5,500.

At the same time, the wood elves under Talk's command were also able to gather a fighting force.

In other words, the strength of the encirclement and suppression force should be around 6,000.

A total of six thousand troops, including powerful units such as orcs, is obviously enough to encircle and suppress a group of wood elves with this force.

After careful consideration, orders to mobilize troops were quickly issued.

This wave of troop mobilization has caused quite a stir.

Early the next morning, that guy Xiong ran over in high spirits.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the wood elves, and I have a thousand soldiers from the Royal Guards of the Imperial City to fight!"

Looking at the confident Xiong, Xia Qi was pleased and at the same time rejected his request.

"The Royal Guards of the Imperial City fought a fierce battle last year and suffered serious losses in strength. Recuperate and train new recruits is what you should do now."

"Your Majesty is unaware that the new recruits who have been recruited have been training for a while. The general is thinking that it is time for some actual combat training."

After hearing this, Xia Qi nodded subconsciously, and then glanced at Xiong in surprise.

I have to say that Xiong, who was a reckless man at the time, still had some ideas in his mind after leading the army for such a long time.

I have to say that although Xiong is a reckless man, he still has some ideas in his mind after leading troops for a long time.

Then, Xia Qi still rejected him.

"No. The battle to encircle and suppress the wood elves this time is mainly guerrilla warfare in the forest, and the Imperial City Guards are good at charging into battle and fighting the enemy head-on. Therefore, there is actually no room for you to perform in this battle."

After saying that, he looked at Xiong who was about to say something again, and Xia Qi quickly raised his hand.

"Okay, I understand what's going on with your imperial guards."

Xia Qi thought for a moment, and then said to Xiong: "Let's do this. The western border of Daxia has been a little uneasy recently, and some barbarian tribes often attack our city of Daxia. Together with Li Chuan, you can kill those barbarian natives.

How about cleaning up?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong immediately agreed. He only cared about whether there would be a fight. As for where it was, he never cared.

After watching Xiong leave, Xia Qi's eyes returned to the development plan for the new year in front of him.

Now, the Twin Cities on the other side of the Bitter Cold Land have been fully built.

The people living there are all composed of humans from the bitter cold land, as well as snow werewolves, snow foxes and ice bears.

But these are far from enough, so Xia Qi had previously signaled to the Twin Cities to absorb the human tribes distributed in the bitter cold land.

But it seems that the result is not very good.

Probably because of the orcs, the human tribes in the Bitter Cold Land have been greatly reduced. Until now, the Twin Cities have only accommodated less than 2,000 humans.

This is seriously inconsistent with the population of the once bitter cold land.

But the problem of underpopulation must be solved.

Otherwise, the collection of iron ore alone will reach a bottleneck.

At the same time, the bitter cold land actually has soil, and it is black soil called black gold, hidden under the ice and snow.

For Xia Qi, who came from China, it was really uncomfortable to have such fertile land there.

After thinking about it for a while, he actually came up with a way.

The bitter cold land has ice and snow all year round, but just changing the temperature of the planting site will soon be enough?

The simplest way is to build a plastic greenhouse.

But there is no plastic in Daxia now, so Xia Qi thought of another way, which is to build a glass greenhouse.

There is a lot of glass in Daxia, and they have been firing the glass for so many years at the same time. The skills of the craftsmen are so superb that it is not a problem to bake the glass needed for the glass greenhouse.

Therefore, Daxia's first plan for the new year is to build a glass greenhouse in a bitterly cold place and let the previous batch of Daxia people go there.

The second plan is to send troops to deal with the barbarians in the west.

While expanding the army and population, investigate what kind of mines are stored there.

Xia Qi has already sent Xiong and Li Chuan to do this task.

As for the grassland, things have been calm in recent years, and there are no plans.

All we need to do is gradually encroach on the grassland as we did in previous years.

Government orders were issued quickly one after another, and Daxia, which had been in a state of calm, began to move quickly again.

Because Xia Qi sent troops to encircle and suppress the wood elves, the forces of all parties were not concentrated in one place, so the gathering point of all armies was set directly at the southernmost city in the elven administrative area.

Among them, the closest elf troops were naturally the first to assemble.

The orc troops located farthest away are still on their way.

As time passed day by day, armies from all sides to encircle and suppress the wood elf rebels arrived one after another.

"The entire army rests!"

In front of the military formation, King Arthur was riding a tall white horse, wearing a gorgeous armor.

I saw him wave his hand, signaling the army to stop advancing and take a rest.

In this battle to encircle and suppress the wood elves, Xia Qi appointed the Elf King Arthur as the chief general, while Xue Li, Richard and Tarke went with the army as King Arthur's deputy generals.

As for Zhendong General Wang Meng, he was left behind in the rear.

This move surprised many people, including Wang Arthur himself.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems natural.

Although Xue Li is now a general who can take charge of his own role, he is still a cavalry general.

As I said before, this battle will probably be dominated by guerrilla warfare in the forest.

The role of the cavalry is basically to raid the formation on the outside, and at most to encircle and intercept the fleeing wood elves.

Let Xue Li serve as the commander-in-chief. Due to his military position, it is impossible to enter the main battlefield with complex terrain to conduct command operations, so he is not suitable to serve as the commander-in-chief.
