For this situation, all the forces were really unexpected.

Although the elf army's combat power will decline after the outbreak, the elf army's previous high-level spell bombing is not meaningless.

In the outbreak just now, the elf army almost destroyed the biggest problem for the attacker, which was the enemy's home defense facilities. In other words, it was the home field advantage.

The entire border position of the Black Iron Empire has been reduced to ruins by the bombardment of superior spells. At the same time, a certain price has been paid in terms of military strength.

Under this premise, even if the Black Iron Empire had a backup plan, it could contain the follow-up advance of the Elf army.

It will definitely not be suppressed directly like now...

After several rounds of maneuvers, the elven army not only failed to stabilize its position immediately, but was pushed all the way out of the border by the black iron garrison who blew the counterattack horn.

Although the elven army fought and retreated all the way, and in the process of retreating, it slowly adjusted its state and stabilized its position, but anyone can see that in the situation in front of them, they have the advantage.

Who exactly is it?

"how so?"

On the front lines and battlefields, the intelligence returned puts everyone in the known universe at risk.

Nowadays, a large number of cosmic countries have directly blocked their borders and entered a state of wartime alert.

In this process, while all forces are on guard against any abnormal behavior around them, the war between the two frontline powers, the Black Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom, has undoubtedly attracted the attention of a large number of forces.

After all, the impact of the two powerful forces at war cannot be underestimated, especially for the surrounding cosmic countries. If they are not careful, they will be shot.

This is also the main reason why representatives of all parties are so concerned about this war.

But the development trend of this war was completely beyond their expectations.

An evenly matched battle did not happen. The elven army that took the initiative seemed to have exhausted all its combat power after a round of outbreaks and fell into an obvious disadvantage.

Although there has been no retreat so far, judging from the current situation, retreat may be a matter of time.

"What happened to the elven army?"

In response to this question, all parties quickly found the answer after a brief period of confusion.

The answer lies in population size!

The elves are a race with a sparse population. Although they have sent out a large army to participate in the expedition, the number of troops left to garrison in the country is undoubtedly relatively limited.

Under this premise, during this expedition, it was impossible for the elven army to leave the border alone and march out in full force.

This resulted in them having to divide their already limited forces again.

Originally, when all countries agreed to send troops to support, this problem in the Elf Kingdom could almost be ignored, but now the situation has undoubtedly changed.

On the other hand, in the Black Iron Empire, the population of the dwarves itself is not large, but relatively, it is not small either.

Therefore, even though it also sent a large army to participate in the expedition, the Black Iron Empire's military strength was actually far more abundant than that of the Elf Kingdom.

This is also the fundamental reason for the current situation.

As the commander-in-chief of this attack on the Black Iron Empire, Bakas, who led this elven army, undoubtedly did his best.

Affected by the expedition, the number of elf mages in their army who are capable of casting high-level spells is relatively limited. In this case, Bakas can of course choose to use the limited high-level spells in batches.

But what is the advantage of their elven army?

Their advantage is their explosive power that can directly destroy the enemy regardless of any means!

Using high-level spells in batches can indeed allow them to fight this battle more securely in a short period of time, but it also directly defeats the biggest advantage of their elf army.

And don’t forget, their opponent is the Black Iron Empire!

Although Bakas and the others were full of resentment towards the Black Iron Empire, as a general who led the army in battle, Bakas had to admit the strength of this opponent.

Facing such a powerful opponent, giving up one's own advantages and engaging in mediocre tactics that their elven army is not good at, is that any different from seeking death?

So from the moment he decided to go on an expedition, Bakas had already confirmed the plan in his mind and was mentally prepared to take a gamble.

What he was betting on was that their elven army could explode in one wave, destroying the Black Iron Empire's defense line and disintegrating the opponent's will to resist. Even if they could not advance all the way, they should still be able to establish a dominant advantage for them and thus control the entire battle rhythm.

.

But obviously, he lost this bet, but Bakas was not discouraged.

Barcas's teacher, Marshal Philip, often warned him that tactics can be radical, but you have to keep a cool head and be prepared for the consequences in case of failure!

A tactic without a follow-up plan will not be able to withstand setbacks, and may even be vulnerable in some cases!

And Bakas, who followed the teacher's instructions carefully, naturally had well anticipated the situation of failure.

As the attacker, they have enough room to retreat behind the elven army.

To put it simply, if the tactic fails, then just retreat and engage with the opponent.

Under this premise, if the Black Iron garrison takes the initiative to pursue and kill them, it will be equivalent to giving up the subsequent home field advantage, which will not be harmful to them.

On the contrary, if the opponent does not chase them out, then they can rest more calmly, and there will still be no harm.

In this situation, for the elf army, it will actually not suffer any big losses.

In this process, as the defender, after the border defense line was bombarded into ruins by the elven army, considering the amount of work, it is impossible to repair it in a short time.

Considering this point, if they insist on playing defense, then when the elven army has finished resting and advances again, this line of defense will most likely not be able to pose any obstacle to the elven army.

The battlefield where the two sides will fight afterward will inevitably have to be moved to the territory of their Black Iron Empire.

This situation will undoubtedly further increase their losses.

Therefore, even with a mentality of reducing losses, facing the temporarily retreating elven army, the defenders of the Black Iron Empire decisively issued a pursuit order, hoping to end the battle outside the border.

After confirming the situation, Bakas fought and retreated all the way, taking advantage of the situation.
