No one expected that in this epic war, which was hailed by later generations as "the shameless battle of betrayal", when the snowflakes had just fallen, the first to launch a surprise attack would be the four northern elf kings.
The coalition formed.
Yes, the first person to break the deadlock was neither the orcs who attacked as the invaders, nor the humans who defended their homeland, but the elves who were eager to take a superficial stance on some existence.
At six o'clock in the morning, the undeclared crossbows and magic brought greetings from the elves. The human coalition sent the main force to fight. The seven-nation coalition (excluding Donglan, including San Antonio), with a cumulative strength of more than 500,000, went to war.
The military strength exceeds 400,000.
The total strength of the elves is 167,000. In front of the super empire, it is probably just the garrison of a large city, but its strength must not be underestimated.
High-level elves are a silver race, and the weakest ones have silver-level combat power when they reach adulthood. And lower-level elves are equipped with elves' unique luxury combat equipment. It is not difficult to reach the comprehensive silver level of humans. In addition, the elves' extremely excellent magic craftsmanship and
Regarding the ratio of mages, the number of these elves may not be large, but their strength must not be underestimated.
"...We thought it was an ordinary war drill like in the past, but no one expected that those long-eared people would ignore their past feelings and use strategic magic to wash the ground from the beginning. Our people were seriously injured, and they
They actually used an enchanted heavy crossbow and an ancient elf tree, they are serious!"
Perhaps, this officer, whose men were almost wiped out, can explain why he was defeated so miserably. The arrogant humans did not expect it so much as they underestimated the determination of the elves from the beginning.
The elves who had been grudged for many years came with the intention of a decisive battle from the beginning. As the controllers, the elf kings naturally knew that there was no way back for them. However, the proud Andorio people seemed to regard this as another
Think of it as a stupid border conflict.
When the elves launched the raid, they were actually waiting for the results of church and political diplomacy. The war plan made by the general headquarters did not even include a plan for how to deal with the elves' attack.
As for the other northern countries, they thought that since San Antonio was here, the sky would fall and there would be a high-level solution, but they didn’t think much about it. When a disaster strikes, the ones who are unlucky first are often the ones who run the slowest.
The weak.
Therefore, when the two sides clashed, their understanding and attitude towards war put the human coalition forces that were attacked at a comprehensive disadvantage.
The tall ancient war tree attacks the cavalry regiment, and its huge roots can knock away several unlucky ones every time. However, human lances have little effect on this kind of creature. When the knights set up their surroundings to deal with the giant,
When using net tactics, the behemoth that suddenly took root and turned into a tree covering the sky was even more confusing.
The gryphon knights encountered the challenge of the hippogryph archers. These powerful aerial ligers finally met their natural enemies. The elf archers with perfect shots were very good at mounted shooting, and shooting through the gaps in the gryphon knights' thick helmets was of no use to them.
No difficulty. On the other hand, even if they have an overall advantage in melee combat capabilities and are thoroughly studied by their opponents, it is difficult for the gryphon knights to bring the battle to their most suitable distance. They are often in constant pursuit and counter-pursuit.
was shot down.
And when the battle reached a stalemate, the elves' precise and vicious magical support became a heavy hammer that broke the balance of the battlefield.
Mages need time and knowledge accumulation, and the longevity species have a unique advantage in this regard. Facing the elves coming out in droves, most of the human mages' magic spells are suppressed, and the spell power of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
Human priests and paladins may be the bright spots in the melee, but they lack powerful attack skills and cannot play a huge role.
The elves that have always been an alliance are probably the opponents that humans lack the most combat experience and countermeasures. The elves in the North have always regarded humans as imaginary enemies.
And when the first wave of duels reached a deadlock, the orcs' second sharp knife was still not wielded by themselves.
The troops of the Ansuolo Empire, who served as the arrowhead on the right wing of the military formation, defected in front of the formation, turned their swords directly, and struck hard at their allies with the swords.
As the central army, San Antonio never expected that his right wing would suddenly defect. The assassins who had been prepared for it broke out at the same time. They were assassinated by their allies in the chaos of the battlefield. The commander-in-chief of San Antonio, ranking of contemporary famous generals
Allen Rem, who was ranked 98th on the list, was assassinated, and the entire battlefield was in a stalemate.
And when the news of being attacked from both sides and the assassination of the coach spread, and at the critical moment when the coalition forces of various countries began to waver, the orc army began to move. When the huge Bis beast entered the field carrying the shaman beating the war drum, the human side
Defeat is decided.
Orcs who are good at killing taught humans a good lesson about what it means to crush a single soldier and what it means to run wildly with beasts.
Can two human warriors deal with one orc? When the orcs put on the armor protected by the earth element and are sent into a violent state by the shaman's war song, an ordinary orc veteran can transform into a war killing device, a standard squad
(12 people) may not be able to kill an elite orc whose attack and defense are doubled like this."
In this battle, with the joint efforts of the three parties, the trap set by the Chaos side finally began to close. The human side was defeated miserably and lost the first battle.
Of the 400,000-strong army that went out to fight, less than half of the defeated army returned to Red Maple City alive, and most of them were injured. The human coalition must shift from strategic attack to defense.
When Eliza learned the news, she was also very surprised.
"A human country actually betrayed the entire human world? Are they not going to mix up?"
"In a sense, the Ansuolo Empire is quite similar to the Land of Arashi in the past. It has probably suffered enough grievances. However, the trigger for this direct outbreak should still be those bastards in San Antonio.
Use them as cannon fodder."
"Yeah, it's too much. I feel sorry for Ansuolo. Our small country is weak. This time Ansuolo has taken out the coffin book. If he has nothing to say after finishing the fight, but he is sacrificed as cannon fodder, then
It's too much. No wonder they chose extreme measures."
Sure enough, a strongly worded declaration of war was soon published.
In the notice, the Ansolo Empire, as the declaring country, angrily denounced San Antonio, as the leader, for using the military forces of other countries as cannon fodder, and targeted San Antonio for the declaration of war, stating that it had not betrayed the order side and the mainstream human society.
meaning.
Of course, no matter what he says, those who should believe it will still believe it, and there is no point in saying anything about those who shouldn't believe it. Actual actions are the most straightforward expression.
"It sounds nice, but why are there still orcs and elves mixed together?"
With the betrayal of the Ansuolo Empire, Red Maple City fell into chaos at this time. The lurking assassins who were cleaning up the remaining forces and spies took advantage of the chaos to carry out assassinations, and there were even middle- and high-level combatants who were directly there.
Attacking and killing important people in the city.
The original city owner also died in the battle, but before a sudden political storm was about to come, a chamber of commerce named Schindler stood up and became the new leader of the city. They were mainly composed of locals.
The slogan is 'Use your hands to find your beautiful life in the past'.
They are not soldiers and are meaningless to the external army. The direction of their efforts is simple: to fight against those lawless thugs and to keep the city order and vitality.
But few people know that the Chamber of Commerce, which has a background in slave trading, is just an organization used to keep civilian orcs alive, and its leader is a foreigner.
"The coalition military headquarters is in chaos. All official institutions in the city have been paralyzed and their functions have stopped. The funds stated at the Chamber of Commerce are almost gone. This situation is really unsustainable. Roland, please come back quickly."

"Uuuuuuuuah, it's so pitiful that you have such cruel parents. Don't worry, Anlia, I will help you. As long as he dares to appear in front of you, Anlia will kick him away with all four hooves.
Oh, I still need a fulcrum, so I’ll just force three.”
In the forest where the exit of the dungeon is located, beside a bonfire, girls from three races were chatting happily.
"Aren't you...aren't you afraid of me? I'm a banshee."
Faced with the doubts of the pale white shadow, Annie and Anlia looked at each other, then both covered their mouths and laughed.
"The person Sister Anne likes is a lich. Well, she probably isn't a lich now. But we have no prejudice against the undead. And my sister seems to be a natural undead, but only extremely special people can be transformed. They are either particularly kind or not.
The resentment is so deep, how could I be afraid?"
"Yes, Your Highness Suana, why don't you come with us? We are going to a country that has no prejudice against the undead. Perhaps, you can find the answer to the peace you have been pursuing all your life there." (To be continued.
