Countless fireballs illuminated the newly dimmed sky red.
Seeing these flaming orbs containing magic falling into the forest instead of directly hitting the magic barrier of the Imperial Halberd, Izarebi immediately realized what the commander on the Blue Water side was planning to do.
He had no intention of a head-on conflict, he just wanted to rely on the advantages of the environment to deal the heaviest blow to himself.
This way of playing, combined with the previous strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field, Izarebi was extremely convinced that these two decisions were made by the same person.
From a disgusting character who wears a turtle shell on his back.
The Seven Staffs of the Empire are not just an honor that can be obtained by reaching a certain rank. Obtaining this rating also requires certain leadership and command abilities.
In the chaotic situation, Izarebi made the most correct choice.
"Carriage again to clear the way and break out along the way you came from!"
The heavy cavalry is the elite of the Seventh Army. The horses they are equipped with have the blood of Pegasus. They are agile in movement and have outstanding endurance. They also have some magic blood and can resonate with some buff magic.
While he was remounting his entire team, Izarebi quickly glanced around, trying to find the commander who had designed the ambush and must have mobilized the Blue Water and Werewolf operations at the scene.
Proficient in fire-attribute magic, he looked through the sea of fire and carefully felt the magical atmosphere around him.
"Most of the mushroom people who use fire magic are at the fourth level...then this commander is also at the fifth or sixth level?"
The quality of the heavy cavalry's war horses was reflected. In the sea of fire, every war horse had no intention.
The horse's hooves tap lightly on the ground, the pitch-black armor flashes in the firelight, and the shiny armor plates reflect the dazzling light. Each team of heavy cavalry is like a god descending, leading the teammates behind them, tearing through the rolling ring of fire, and colliding.
Break through the heavy magic arrows and walk forward through the fire.
From the standpoint of the enemy, Lu Yu had to praise them. The strength and courage of these cavalry were admirable.
But it's a pity that Lu Yu doesn't plan to kill people today, he wants to kill horses.
Light cavalrymen continued to fall off their horses while following the heavy cavalrymen to break through, and the horses that were swallowed up by the flames were basically unable to stand up again.
Seeing the horses fall down one by one, Izarebi waved his hand angrily, drawing the violent flames around him in front of him and condensing them into a huge fireball.
He originally had the idea of finding the commander and beheading him secretly, but the situation no longer allowed him to do that.
The entire Seventh Army only had 6,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry. For this operation, he brought out 3,500 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry.
The loss of cavalry is acceptable, but the death of excellent horses in the sea of fire will completely disrupt the strategic deployment of the entire Seventh Army.
"Firefly!"
Izarebi shouted loudly, and the fireball instantly split into pieces and turned into fist-sized fireflies.
The wind suddenly rose.
These fireflies, which contain surging fire-attribute magic power, were swayed by the strong wind as soon as they flew into the air, and the "fire" in their bodies also flickered on and off.
A figure in black gauze fell from the sky and blew out the "fireflies" that had not yet taken off.
"Seven-Wanded Izarebi, it's an honor to meet you."
Izarebi frowned as she looked at the wind whirlpool that was constantly forming and dissipating around her.
"The sixth level of Blue Water...who are you?"
"Me? The transliteration of my name in Mostana is a bit long. Do you really want to hear it?"
"You know my name, but I don't know yours. This isn't appropriate."
"Well, listen up, my full name is... Solifantsekbilllureyai Westtata Revan Kurbotalia Decro..."
Izarebi, who was in the sea of fire, had dull eyes. As the name got longer and longer, his mouth opened wider and wider.
If he heard correctly...this person's name must be at least a hundred words long?
"You are delaying time on purpose!" Izarebi, who felt that he was being played, roared and pulled the surrounding flames to launch an attack.
A magician who is proficient in the wind attribute is always less likely to be hit. The opponent deftly avoided the attack of the flames and complained: "I told you that my name is very long. You have to listen to it. You can do it."
Call me another name, Ye Shui."
The battle between Ye Shui and Izarebi belonged to another battlefield entirely. Being restrained, Izarebi could no longer help the Imperial Halberd.
Lulutis watched the battle between Ye Shui and Izarebi, then looked at the fifth-level magicians of Blue Water, and said "Huh" with some confusion.
Lu Yu, who was busy giving orders to the messenger, did not hear Lulutis' voice in the chat room.
His latest order was for the werewolves to try to only injure but not kill the cavalry who lost their horses.
This order caused a commotion in the Moon Shadow Werewolf formation. This group of men were all inverted triangles, and their biceps dominated their brains. They were good at tearing people into pieces, allowing them to injure them without killing them. This was a bit embarrassing for the wolves.
Although they complained that Lu Yu's order was incomprehensible, the pre-arrangement of the battle and the results obtained after the war were very obvious, so they were quite convinced of Lu Yu.
The heroic charge of the heavy cavalry caused a large number of Imperial soldiers to break out of the fire and march towards the flat area.
However, at this moment, another group of werewolves who had been lurking on both sides of the road for a long time jumped out. Before the magicians in the imperial halberd had time to react, their sharp claws scratched the throats of the Serel soldiers...
"Only hurt but not kill, just hurt but not kill!"
After subconsciously tearing the necks of a group of Serel soldiers, the leader who almost got sick from the smell of blood hurriedly shouted.
The group of wolves reluctantly moved their gaze to the hands and feet of the Serel soldiers.
After discovering that another Selel soldier had broken through, the werewolf that had caused confusion among the Imperial Halberd vanguard jumped high into the sky and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs, making the angry Selel's teeth itch.
The cavalry captain who simply counted the casualties breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the casualty figures.
"It seems that they are just a group of guys with no combat experience. They took advantage of the chaos and made a sneak attack to achieve such little results."
In the sea of fire, Izarebi and Ye Shui fought with a sixth-level magic.
The fierce collision between wind and fire magic caused the fire to spread rapidly, and the blue water mage who was originally standing at a high place was almost affected by the aftermath of the battle.
Lulutis could see that Ye Shui's combat experience was not as good as Izarebi's. In several magical battles, it seemed that Ye Shui had the upper hand, but in fact it was Izarebi who was guiding Ye Shui's style.
The magic combined with his fire-attribute magic causes greater destructive effects.
Fire magic accumulated rapidly in the venue, and the result of Ye Shui's crazy use of wind magic was...
"barrier!"
Lu Yu's voice was captured by the herald, and Lan Shui's magician responded quickly after receiving the order.
Just after the water-attribute barriers were formed, explosions sounded one after another in the purgatory-like sea of fire.
At first it was like the firecrackers that Lu Yu often set off during the New Year, crackling.
The further back, the louder the explosion, and tongues of fire spurted out from the center of the explosion, shooting out in all directions.
After a thunderous explosion, Ye Shui was blasted out of the sea of fire by a huge force, with green smoke rising all over his body.
With sharp eyes, Lulutis noticed that Izarebi also flew out at the same time, accelerated instantly, and escaped into the night.
Ye Shui's condition was not very good. The overheated venue had made her dehydrated during the battle, and her skin had numerous wrinkles, as if she had aged more than ten years.
Ye Shui, who was still smoking, kept coughing. Seeing the nervous expressions of Lu Yu and Sigrid, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, we mushroom people are like this. Once it's too hot, our bodies will have some special effects."
The reaction is only temporary."
These words made Lu Yu and others breathe a sigh of relief.
"Izarebi, very powerful."
Because the line of sight was blocked, no one could clearly see what happened in the sea of fire. As soon as the person came out, he praised his opponent...
Lu Yu sighed worriedly in the chat room: "Seven sticks... there are seven such people, it's really troublesome."
Lulutis said: "Assign them the next task first. I will talk to you about it later."
Realizing that there was something wrong in Lulutis' words, Lu Yu did not immediately ask further questions, but immediately informed the herald.
"No pursuit is allowed. Let the magician stop the spread of the fire, count the number of Seriel's dead, and collect useful trophies and weapons."
Ye Shui was not surprised at all that Lu Yu would give such an order. He smiled and went to find a place to replenish his body with water.
As for the werewolves, they had some opinions, but seeing the mushrooms in Blue Water starting to extinguish the fire, they could only depressingly start to pick off the equipment on the Serel people.
Because Mohu didn't have many manpower, Xiao Keluer, who could only watch on the sidelines, witnessed a great victory led by Lu Yu.
More than a thousand men fought against four thousand Serel elite cavalry, and our casualties were negligible.
"Now I know why Ye Shui is willing to trust this man and mobilize all the fifth levels of Lan Shui and give him command."
Da Ke Luer looked at Lu Yu standing with Ye Shui and couldn't help but sigh.
First, by clearing the country with strong walls, Izarebi, who had always been outnumbered by the enemy for food, was forced to consider retreating.
Lu Yu guessed that Izarebi would struggle before retreating, so when Izarebi arrived at Blue Water City, he had already left the city with the main force of Blue Water and Moon Shadow Werewolves.
This also led to Izarebi always mistakenly believing that Blue Water City had no intention of fighting and only planned to hold on.
By being familiar with the surrounding terrain, Blue Water's hidden sentry can always obtain information about the Imperial Halberd's movements and avoid the opponent's light cavalry who collect information.
The rest is gambling. In Lu Yu's words, strategy depends not only on personal strength, but also on the weather and whether the opponent cooperates.
Izarebi is undoubtedly cooperative.
Lu Yu arranged for the Lizardmen tribe to act as actors and transported a large amount of food to the venue, attracting the Imperial Halberds to organize themselves on the spot. As long as Izarebi did not have the intention to continue marching, he could take away the rations for a day's march and retreat quickly.
.
The on-the-spot rectification exposed his ambition to continue to advance the army, and ultimately caused the Imperial Halberd to fall completely into the trap set by Lu Yu.
Izarebi had many opportunities to choose in this contest. As long as he was a little more rational, Lu Yu could only watch them leave, because Lu Yu only had a thousand people in his hands.
Although Lu Yu had the advantages of surprise attack, terrain, and weather, Renhe was not on his side.
The Yueying Werewolf Special Envoy was only willing to trust Lu Yu because of Ye Shui, but did not completely trust his judgment.
The limited military strength forced Lu Yu to conduct ambushes and raids, and he seized this opportunity.
Little Keluer pulled her sister towards Ye Shui and said with a smile, "It seems he didn't lie to me."
"Oh, what did he say to you?"
"He is the Marquis of Seris and the pioneer of an empire."
The knights who are responsible for opening up the frontiers of a country are often ruthless characters. After hearing what little Kelu'er said, big Kelu'er suddenly had a more three-dimensional view of him.
The mushroom men and werewolves cleaning the battlefield were so surprised that they opened their mouths from ear to ear. The werewolves who were dissatisfied with Lu Yu's order not to pursue them had no objections after hearing the results reported by the secretary and were convinced.
The Imperial Halberd lost more than 1,400 horses and more than 600 cavalrymen in this ambush.
The reason why it is necessary to report an "extra" is because the battle between Ye Shui and Izarebi triggered several explosions. Some corpses have been blown to pieces and blown away, and cannot be counted.
Serier was proud of his long halberd, which went deep behind enemy lines, but was cut in half by Lu Yu in a battle.
This complete victory with less victory greatly boosted the morale of the three races. Before this, few races could win such a beautiful victory against Selier, who had complete equipment and more dominant overall strength.
Ye Shui excitedly hugged Lu Yu again and almost kissed him again.
The mist demon complained: "Vanessa probably didn't expect that her unintentional actions would affect Blue Water for so many years..."
Although everyone was very excited, Lu Yu seemed very calm.
He had an unexpected advantage, and it was a perfect ambush. In this way, he only managed to kill 1,400 horses. This number was quite different from the 2,500 that Lu Yu had estimated.
"Is this the strength of the empire's elite...how many such opponents are there?"
The special envoy of the Moon Shadow Werewolf came to Lu Yu, and he was convinced and spoke very humbly.
"The souls of all the tribes destroyed in Mostana will definitely be grateful to Lu Yu for your feat today. I'm sorry for doubting you before."
"On the occasion of this great victory, I would like to ask why you did not allow us to pursue, and why did you order the herald to inform us twice in a row that you only wounded but not killed?"
The werewolf's straightforward words made Lu Yu smile. He liked dealing with these straightforward people.
"It's very simple, I want to disintegrate their morale." Lu Yu explained seriously, "They went deep behind enemy lines to destroy the unity of the anti-Sereer alliance, and what I want to do is to make this weapon stick like a wedge to the Iris Demon
The army near the fox territory is passive."
"Wounded soldiers always need to be taken care of. Wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs cannot be healed even by magic. They can only become a black hole that continuously consumes supplies. Their negative emotions will also affect other soldiers with normal bodies."
"A commander, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, must not abandon these wounded soldiers, otherwise every soldier will be worried and timid during the battle, fearing that he will be next. Knowing that there is a gap in strength and unable to completely annihilate the opponent, I decided to use
This conspiracy, even if the commander of this army knew that I had done it deliberately, he would have to accept it."
"As for not pursuing pursuit, first of all, there is a gap in our military strength. I like to seek stability. Secondly..."
Lu Yu grinned proudly and chuckled: "Blue Water's messengers are already rushing to the major tribes along the way. I think they must have some special thoughts in their hearts after admiring the military appearance of Selier's remnant soldiers."
