At this moment, although Ajer was forced to change his original plan and continue to launch the offensive, it cannot be said that he has no advantages at all.

At least at this stage, the morale of the elven army led by him is high.

On the other hand, the Black Iron garrison was defeated by him just before. Even if the other generals tried their best to integrate, it would be difficult for them to regroup in a short time.

In this wave, Ajer was able to fight both vertically and horizontally, and did not let himself and the frontline army fall into a completely passive situation because of the pressure from the rear.

Of course, Pompeo Rand also knew about these things.

He knew that even if the elven army immediately launched a follow-up offensive and continued to advance, the opponent would still have a morale advantage, which was not comparable to that of them who had been defeated before and suffered heavy losses in strength.

But at least in this state, they can avoid the risk of the opponent directly bombarding them with superior spells and penetrating their second line of defense!

The explosive power brought about by the high-level spell bombardment of the elven army is terrifying.

It has the ability to directly raze a strategic-level military fortress to the ground in a short period of time during an offensive!

But as long as they don't have this explosive power, their second line of defense can play its due role normally. In this way, even if their morale is in a bad state, relying on the military facilities and defense bases behind them, they will have the confidence to fight with them.

The elves' army was circling.

And as long as they can survive this wave and use the foundation and strength reserves of their Black Iron Empire to reverse the situation, it is only a matter of time!

In this wave, the commanders of both sides are undoubtedly well aware of the other's purpose. Under this premise, this is a showdown between conspiracy and conspiracy.

In order to ensure the status of his elf army, despite the increasing pressure from the rear, Ajer still appropriately controlled the advancement speed of his elf army.

During this process, in order to prevent the Black Iron garrison from effectively adjusting their status, Ajer naturally sent out mobile troops again to launch harassment operations against the Black Iron garrison. During this period, he could also find opportunities to find out the details of the opponent.

Relying on the ultra-high mobility and the unique flexibility of small-scale troops, the mobile troops sent by Ajer quickly locked the position of the Black Iron Empire's second line of defense.

But the next action was not so smooth.

On the second line of defense, the defense facilities are complete. The Black Iron garrison does not need to go out to deal with the mobile troops at all. They can directly defend the various military fortresses and remain unchanged in response to any changes.

Relying on the defensive weapons deployed in the second line of defense, without the large frontal troops to exert pressure and provide cover, the small-scale mobile troops did not dare to approach easily. If they were not careful, they would be under the defensive firepower.

, and paid a heavy price.

The news came back quickly, and the whole situation was somewhat within Ajer's expectation.

There is nothing to hesitate about. The specifications of the Black Iron Empire are there, and it is not a third-rate small country. If you just send a mobile force out to test a few times, you can clearly understand the details of the opponent. If you want to find out the reality of the opponent,

Large troops must be mobilized.

The advancing elven army soon pressed beyond the Black Iron Empire's second line of defense, and launched the first round of testing as quickly as possible.

In order to ensure the state of the army and allow each unit to get a relatively sufficient rest, Ajer asked each large unit under his command to take turns to carry out this test mission.

After a period of time, Ajer basically figured out the general situation of the second line of defense.

At this moment, in his own frontline position, Ajer looked at the detailed intelligence information marked on the tactical map in front of him, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Beyond the second line of defense is the hinterland area of ​​the Black Iron Empire on the opposite side. Considering this, the defensive strength of the second line of defense cannot be inferior.

The important strongholds along the entire defense line are heavily guarded, and the defense facilities are complete. Basically, none of them are easy to attack.

Considering the situation at hand, continuing to test may not lead to a result. During this period, frequent news from the rear put more pressure on Ajer.

As this war progresses, at this stage, the expeditionary Black Iron Army has broken through the borders of their Elf Kingdom and penetrated into the interior of their Elf Kingdom.

As the war spread crazily, their elven kingdom had already paid a heavy price.

If we say that before, the vast majority of the elven people still supported his 'national hero''s revenge.

So now, after the elven people have experienced the price of a war in a more direct way, they have undoubtedly begun to waver.

In the final analysis, it is because the people of the Elf Kingdom have never truly experienced the baptism of a war.

Even if a war breaks out, the fighting area will be far away from the borders of their elven kingdom.

This makes the people of the kingdom not really experience the cruelty of war, and every idea seems a bit too 'naive'.

And once this too 'cruel' reality turns into artillery fire and crushes them, they will soon realize how wrong they were before!

Immediately afterwards, regret followed...

At this moment, many voices appeared in the Elf Kingdom and began to criticize Ajer.

At the same time, there were also voices supporting the second prince Yin Wan, and they cited Yin Wan's previous defensive thinking and believed that this idea was the right one.

In this situation, it is too impulsive and unplanned to deploy defensive forces to attack the Black Iron Empire.

And all of this was classified in the latest interrogation as a way for the second prince Yin Wan to deliberately send elves to belittle the eldest prince Ajer in an attempt to gain the throne.

After reading the summons, Ajer's face turned ugly.

The people of the Elf Kingdom regard him as a 'national hero' and have clearly shown their support for him. This is Ajer's biggest support at this stage.

But if this continues, considering the situation in the Elf Kingdom, even if he wins the battle in the end, he may lose the support of the people for him.

"We can't go on like this, we must, we must move faster!"

After thinking about this, Ajer took a deep breath, glanced at the tactical map in front of him again, and then pointed at a point marked on it.

"This is the fortress! Pass the order and gather troops in three days to attack the enemy's No. 6 fortress!"
Chapter completed!
