Whether the city of Lucerne is willing to send troops to help Behemoth destroy the Naga army is not a decision that Rommel can make alone. He has not yet reached such a high status.
Waging a war will not only cost the lives of countless soldiers, but also involve a large amount of money and materials; as the saying goes: "Some people do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money." If you want the shrewd fallen elves to send troops
, at least there must be a visible benefit, otherwise who would be willing to stupidly stand up and take advantage of this?
But the problem is that Feilengcui Lord Liu Zhanshao didn't make any promise to Rommel at all. He just opened his mouth and asked Lucerne to send troops to help. This condescending tone and attitude seemed to have regarded the fallen race as his
vassal.
"Wishful thinking!" After receiving Rommel's report, the rotating city lord, Mistress Youyue'er, was furious: "Naga went to attack Behemoth, but he didn't come to provoke Lucerne. We are willing to send troops to assist. It's enough to be cowardly. He relies on
Why do you want to put all this war on us? Does he really think that he is the envoy of Rose, and the light shines on this damn pig!"
The so-called "rotating city lord" is a bureaucratic mechanism currently tentatively implemented in the city of Lucerne. Moore and Zhuoer will take turns to appoint people to serve. They rotate every other month. As the top leader, the rotating city lord can enjoy major events during his term.
The privilege of being arbitrary.
The reason why Lucerne City has such a weird way of ruling is actually because of helplessness. I think back when Drow and Moore were just exiled into the underground world, they had similar conflicts. Both elves wanted to be the boss, but no one wanted to.
Be the green leaves that support the flowers.
There are no natural enemies in the underground world. If the two fallen elves cannot reach an agreement, they can still go their separate ways. Lucerne City is different. Beamon, who lives in the Danube Wasteland, is not a cowardly underground cave dweller. He can let the fallen elves mess around.
Flatten it!
Whether it was the Emerald Lord who came to extort the ancient war trees in the early days or later when he was conquering the natives of the Southern Cross Forest, one hundred thousand eagle and cow warriors were infected with an inexplicable disease and died, which sounded the alarm for all fallen races!
At this time, if you don't unite yourself internally, you will inevitably lead to self-destruction if you break up prematurely or start internal strife!
As the saying goes, "A snake cannot survive without a head." Lucerne City finally used the method of taking turns to be the banker to select its own top leader.
"Rommel, go and tell Lord Feilengcui that it is not impossible for us to send troops, but he can at least get some benefits out of it." The sick King Moore sniffed hard: "For example, let him attack us again.
Open underground world!”
"There are three continents underground. One of the continents was originally our land. Let it be returned to us!"
"We want their weapons! Warsong totem poles! Heavy fantasy beasts! Seventh-degree golden rings!"
"If we ask him for food again, it will be enough to feed our three million people for a month!"
"And salt!"
"There is no way to grow moss in this barren wasteland. We need a large number of herders and herds from him!"
His Majesty Shankly made a good start. Other drow matrons and members of the blood elf royal family have put forward their own requests. For these degenerate races whose entire people are soldiers, there is no target to plunder as much as they can, and they can only rely on bringing them from the underground.
It's not easy to survive in the barren wilderness with so little money.
"Let's summarize our requirements. Don't they have an old saying in Behemoth: If you want House to run away, don't think about House not eating grass!" The rotating city lord, Mistress Youyue'er, was very satisfied with her wisdom and foresight: "Rommel
, I will leave this matter to you! In a word, if there is no benefit, we will not help them anymore!"
Rommel glanced at the group of fallen elves expressionlessly, feeling nauseated and disappointed.
During the recent period, the reason why the Lucerne Air Force helped Beamon to eliminate the remaining Heimu defeated troops was actually because of his efforts to show his interests. It is true that the current situation in the Aegean is a mess, but one thing is certain.
If the fallen elves of the Aegean race continue to have such an ambiguous attitude, they will definitely be regarded as "treacherous" by the Aegean Alliance, and it will be difficult to gain the trust of the sea tribe!
For most of the degenerate senior officials, they have always had the political bitch attitude of "just knock on the door and talk to them", "We are all guests when we come. The copper kettle boils the three rivers, and the tea gets cold when people leave", and "I will temporarily surrender to whoever has the big fist".
, Rommel was deeply horrified!
It seems that they have not studied the current situation at all. The war that is breaking out in the Aegean continent today is a conflict between two different regions and different races for living space. There is no compromise or ostrich option at all. Taking a stand will offend people.
One force can at least win the favor of the other force. If you don't express your stance, you will offend everyone!
The population base of the Sea Tribe is too large. If the fallen elves rely on their aggressiveness, even if the Sea Tribe can successfully occupy the mainland in the future, this small amount of territory will only be enough for them, Thea and Alex, to digest it. The best outcome for the fallen elves is to sell themselves and join them.
Obtain the status of a third-class citizen in the future.
But once the Sea Tribe fails, the fallen elves will definitely die as a result of political speculation! All the intelligent races in Aegean will never let go of any traitor!
The Sea Tribe is not a Demon Tribe. Their army can only land from the northern coast of Danube. The city of Lucerne is in the south of Danube and is caught between the Kingdoms of Dorot and Beamon. If they really offend Beamon and humans, the Sea Tribe army will
Far water can't save close fire at all - Smyr is the natural enemy of the Lucerne Air Force. If Beamon really wants to cause trouble for Lucerne, he can do it in minutes!
If the fallen elves draw a clear line with the sea invaders and show that they are in the same camp as the Aegean alliance, if the Aegean wins a big victory in the future, the fallen elves will see only one benefit, and that is to change the long-standing view of the world on the fallen race.
Colorful eyes!
How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed? The fallen elves themselves also know that sooner or later, Beamon will have a battle with Lucerne!
The political capital gained now can buffer this oppositional sentiment and gain greater living space for the fallen elves.
Lucerne's help to the Sea Tribe is just the icing on the cake, and Bimeng's help to mankind will be remembered in people's hearts. Besides, the current situation is clearly that the Sea Tribe has suffered in front of Behemoth. Whether they can take advantage of the Danube Wasteland in the future is still unclear.
It’s hard to say, but if the war is going to be unfavorable in the future. With their alliances, the Fallen Elves can withdraw into Dolot, avoid the front of the Sea Tribe soldiers, and defend themselves with the humans. This is the strategy that Rommel and all the Fallen high-level officials have repeatedly emphasized.
Depth! What Lucerne lacks most now is strategic depth. Without allies, Beamon will not let the fallen elves take a step north of the Sanggan River, and humans will never let the fallen elves enter Dolot!
"Today I still want to advise you adults, if there is an opportunity to improve diplomatic relations with Beamon, even if it is temporary, we must seize it! Therefore, this time we must send troops to help Beamon deal with Naga!"
Rommel considered his words in his mind, and calmly reminded these short-sighted senior leaders to pay attention to a fact: "My lords, think about it carefully. Even if we don't help this time, can Beamon destroy Naga?
"
"If it is true as you said, Fei Lengcui already has so many seventh-degree gold rings, and coupled with their magic teleportation array, I think they should have no problem in arranging their troops to destroy Naga!" Rotating City Lord Youyue'er Lord
Mother waved her hand to stop the noise of others: "But this is what makes me most angry. They obviously have this ability, why do they still let us Lucerne be cannon fodder? Isn't this bullying?"
Idiot! You are still the lord of a city! You are not even qualified to carry Richard's shoes! After Rommel heard this, his heart was really shaken.
These elves may have really stayed in the underground world for too long, and are used to the situation of two countries on one continent competing for hegemony. When it comes to fighting for power and profit, and engaging in political persecution, they are all good at it, but their strategic view and overall view are poor.
Far.
"It's not that Beamon wants us to be cannon fodder, my respected city lord." It took a lot of effort for Rommel to suppress the anger in his chest, and tried his best to calmly say: "The reason why Richard proposed such an inhumane
The request is actually testing the bottom line of our sincerity in Lucerne! Yes. We sent 100,000 Yingniu people to help Behemoth destroy Haimu's defeated troops, but what does that count? Without us, they can still eliminate it on their own.
Defeat is a matter of time! In fact, not only Behemoth, humans, elves, and dwarves, but also the intelligent races in the Aegean continent want to know how sincere we are! Submitting a certificate of merit is not counted by chasing down deserters!
Only a victory that is upright and carries our banner can consolidate the Aegean Alliance's confidence in us! I maybe shouldn't say this, but the reputation of the fallen race in the Aegean is really..."
Seeing the degenerate senior officials around him with their noses turned up and their eyes raised, with expressions of displeasure on their faces, Rommel swallowed the following words in time.
"Let's put it this way..." The handsome man shook his head and changed his point of view: "If we don't help Beamon deal with Naga, we can never expect to get military assistance from Feilengcui! Why would Richard provide free support and sell to human war totem poles?
?Because he believes that humans and Beamon are comrades in the trenches! If you, your Lordships, want to use the requirements you have just made as a condition for Lucerne to send troops, I can be sure that we will always miss out on the military assistance that we might have received!"
"You mean... we don't have any leverage to threaten Behemoth, right?" King Moore slowly opened his dim old eyes, his eyes bright.
"Are you trying to say that as long as we send out troops to fight this battle independently and make requests to Richard, he will agree?" Mistress Youyue'er followed up and asked: "For example, opening up the underground world and giving free gifts
Ordnance and food, as well as heavy fantasy beasts, seventh-degree gold rings..."
"That is absolutely impossible. How can Behemoth be so stupid?" Rommel sneered and interrupted Mistress Youyue'er's words: "I guess it would be great if Richard could give us some war song totem poles!"
"What adverse consequences will there be if we resolutely refuse to send troops?"
"There are no adverse consequences of showing face, but Beamon and humans will strengthen their vigilance against Lucerne." Rommel waved his hand: "Mother does not have to worry that they will break up with us all of a sudden. After all, they are also busy now, and we
I don’t have any public relationship with the Sea Clan.”
"Isolated into the third world." His Majesty Shankly nodded thoughtfully.
Mistress You Yue'er, who had the power to make the decision, fell into deep thought and remained silent.
Rommel wisely stopped talking and allowed the other fallen senior officials to admonish the rotating city lord one by one, analyzing the risk ratio of investment and harvest.
He is just an outsider. Unlike the Black Dragon of Hell who does not care about worldly affairs and only cares about the war; as a core outside the core of Lucerne's rule, he only has temporary command rights and no decision-making power, except for the Tel Aviv Berserkers and the original team. This
No one in the city would listen to him.
"How many ground troops and air troops do you need?" The discussion finally came to a conclusion, and Mistress Youyueer finally listened to Rommel's suggestion.
"One hundred thousand ground troops, one hundred thousand air force, and the number of magicians cannot be less than one thousand. The Black Dragon will accompany me to fight." Rommel curled his lips and smiled: "Of course, I will also dispatch my own troops."
"You want so many magicians?" Mistress You Yue'er frowned, but thinking about the importance of this battle, she finally nodded in agreement.
After obtaining the authorization, everything will be easy to do next. According to the marching direction of the Naga army on the magic map, Rommel set the main battlefield in the oil hill area in the southwest wilderness. This is the only way for Naga to enter the southwest London city.
By road, we are about three hundred miles away from the Sunset Swamp. The ground is rich in asphalt, which cannot be seen even when the temperature is not high. It is midsummer when the sun is at its strongest, and the dark asphalt grease is soaked on the soil surface, as if to help
The earth is covered in a black dress.
For this war worthy of attention, not only Beamon sent observers, but also the humans, Dobermans, Demon World Sea Tribes, and Medusa as far away as Bonaparte Continent all sent military staff after receiving the news.
You can follow the entire battle and experience the military strength of the fallen elves and Hai Naga at close range.
Four days later in the afternoon, the Naga army finally entered the oil mound area.
For reasons of concealment, Rommel never used his own air force to engage in the scouting battle between the two sides. This also allowed the Naga army to travel unimpeded and reach the battlefield smoothly.
Like Liu Zhencheng, the Swan chief priest Mourinho and the old Duke Brückner also brought elite guards to guard the formation. The front line of the Naga army was pointing at the territory of their Smai tribe. Naturally, the Swans were not convinced.
Dare to neglect.
What made Old Liu a little regretful was that none of Jose's brothers and sisters came with him, so he had to stretch his neck for a long time in vain.
Seeing a large army that did not belong to Beamon lying on the road where he was traveling, Commander Naga quickly reduced his troops, spread out a battle formation and slowly pushed forward. However, when he sent out the messenger called the formation, he found out that the person blocking the road was actually
After forming an army of fallen elves, the Naga commander was dumbfounded - there had never been a precedent in history for two selfish fallen elves to fight over two other unrelated races.
Standing on a high barren hill, all those who came to watch the battle took out their long-range reconnaissance equipment to observe the Naga army.
This Naga army is arranged in a regular matrix, with walrus cavalry armed with shell shields and spears on both wings. This kind of ocean orephin has a bloated body, about 1.7 meters tall, and the walrus mount under its crotch is like a miniature.
The elephant has a long tail, smooth skin and four thick webbed feet.
In the center of the matrix are the seal infantry and seal infantry, and the tall giant squid reveals Angzang's body in the rear array.
"Behind you today are the invincible Summer Palace Guards. With their help, you don't have to worry about anything! I hope you can use your bravery to sweep away everything and prove to our Beamon allies that we Lucerne soldiers
Just as fierce and good at fighting!" Rommel's mobilization words couldn't be simpler. After saying this sentence, he gave the order for the entire army to advance.
The huge cheers of the Lucerne army almost tore through the clouds in the sky, leaving Old Liu stunned. He really didn't expect that his guards would be used by Rommel for pre-war mobilization... It seems that the effect of this pre-war mobilization was very good...
…
"Brother, I didn't say I would help you plunder the formation, right?" Liu Zhenzhen looked at Rommel and kept laughing, pointing at the summer palace guards who were still wearing black bear skin casual clothes at the foot of the hill: "What do you mean we are in our army?"
With help, you don’t have to worry about anything?”
"Richard, you should know that the armies composed of these degenerate races cannot fight tough battles. They only have the courage of a group and not alone." Rommel smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I did not train and reorganize their military in Lucerne. I rushed into battle.
A soldier doesn't know his general, and a general doesn't know his soldiers. But there is a big taboo in using soldiers! All I can do is to mobilize their morale before the battle, but I don't have money, so I can't give them a big reward before the battle to make them work for me! Put yourself in my shoes
For a moment. If you were in my position today, what would you do?"
"I...fuck...I'm convinced, you dare to use such soldiers to deal with the war!" Old Liu smacked his fingers carefully, as if Rommel's current embarrassing situation of having no temporary command power, if not
Telling the lie just now is indeed unlikely to mobilize the morale of the Lucerne soldiers. After all, the Naga army in front of them has 200,000 people, and the Eagle and Bull Air Force has been hidden by Rommel. There are only 100,000 Lucerne soldiers who are actually facing the enemy.
.
The Lucerne army, with their faces glowing red and high-spirited, roared and formed a strange battle formation with crossed hammers and sickles, advancing towards the Naga army formation that was standing still. The main body of the sickle-shaped battle formation on the left was composed of two hundred soldiers.
Fifty saber-tooth beast chariots and a thousand wolf-footed spider chariots formed a crescent-shaped front line, while the thickest hammer head of the hammer-shaped battle formation on the right side was filled with 50,000 heavily armored gray dwarf warriors.
It forms a square array, with two crossed sickles and hammers, like a giant pair of scissors.
"This is called the "Double Flying Battle Formation" and it is my original creation." Rommel happily introduced his tactical configuration to all those who came to watch the battle: "This is a cocktail formation, made up of two battle formations!"
When engaging the enemy, the hammer head part composed of gray dwarf warriors in the hammer-shaped battle formation can penetrate into the heart of the enemy's formation with superior numbers, break the balance of the Naga army at the fastest speed, and separate them. And the sickle
The chariot troops in the battle formation just circled through the outer perimeter and tightly wrapped up the opponent!"
Liu Zhenshao looked at him dumbfounded. Could this guy also be a proletarian revolutionary from the Aegean continent? The hammer and sickle crossed. Isn't this battle formation a little too communist?
"This seems to be a formation intended to completely annihilate the opponent..." The knowledgeable human military staff immediately raised professional doubts: "But... the most important test of the formation is not the commander's ability, but the understanding of the grassroots officers.
It takes a long time for military training to mature a battle formation, so you dare to use a more complex two-in-one battle formation. Aren't you worried that the capabilities of the grassroots officers will not be qualified for such a complex formation change?"
This question is on point. In the "Double Flying Battle Formation" that is advancing, the intersection of the sickle handle and the hammer handle has caused confusion due to overlapping personnel. A discerning person can tell at a glance that this army has not gone through the "Double Flying Battle Formation".
The targeted special training of "Battle Formation" is purely for catching up on the spot.
"It doesn't matter, most of the crossed parts of the double handles are Hexian warriors. They are not melee combat units. They can be chaotic. It doesn't matter." Rommel said with a smile: "The double-flying battle formation is that the chariot and the dwarf infantry fly side by side. Their ring formation and square formation
The formation is relatively convex and will not cause confusion, which is enough."
Old Liu took the old eagle eye sleeve and aimed at the river immortals. This kind of underground indigenous people can emit "gamma rays" from their eyes. About 30,000 people were sent to the battlefield today, most of them were in the position of thick sickle handles.
, What surprised Lao Liu a little was that these He Xian people seemed to be wearing a kind of frog-eye-shaped goggles, and he didn't know what they meant.
More people were secretly laughing at this time. The name of Rommel, the "Desert Fox", had spread to the ears of other races in the Aegean through Beamon's mouth, but hearing it a hundred times was still worse than seeing it. From today on, the "Desert Fox"
Judging from the level of formation, he doesn't seem to be a famous general.
Especially that extremely funny chariot. No one expected that the fallen elves of Lucerne would still maintain such an antique military branch. History has long proven that chariots have a certain lethality against infantry, but they will definitely be doomed when they encounter mobile and flexible cavalry!
Everyone finally understood why Rommel chose this asphalt-rich wilderness as the main battlefield - if it were in other deserted wilderness areas, the tank might get stuck on its axle, and how could it impact?
enemy?
Seeing everyone's mocking gazes, Old Liu felt a little aggrieved for Rommel.
Lucerne's army was obviously trained by the fallen elves, and the tank organization was also maintained by the fallen elves. Rommel usually didn't care about their training, but now it was not easy to sharpen their guns in battle and arouse their morale.
As expected, the Naga army quickly made corresponding arrangements. Their central army piled forward and formed a wedge-shaped attack formation with the two wings. The Naga commander must have also learned from the chaotic double-flying formation of the "Double Flying Battle Formation".
He saw the weakness of Lucerne's army at the intersection of the handles, so he wanted to rely on the extremely sharp angles of the wedge-shaped battle formation to implement a central breakthrough in one fell swoop after the war started.
Several not-so-subtle human staff members shouted something bad. If Naga breaks through the chaotic central junction of the "Double Flying Battle Formation", wouldn't the mage troops in the back row be in bad luck!
"Isn't this guy trying to bleed Lucerne?" Liu Zhenhan glanced at Rommel with a suspicious look on his face. The latter was observing the battle without saying a word, seemingly not seeing his opponent's reaction.
The two drow matrons and blood elf princes who came to supervise the battle have already followed the army. Although they did not intervene in the army, they only followed with their personal guards at a distance to prevent anyone from escaping. However, they were in the middle of the battle.
During the game, it was no longer possible to clearly observe the difference in the battle situation like those in the rear area - the fallen elves still trusted Rommel's commanding ability a little too much.
"Why hasn't the air force been dispatched?" Mourinho endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking Rommel, who looked indifferent: "Isn't it a waste to use 100,000 air force as a reserve force? Why not take advantage of this situation?
What a good opportunity, let’s harass the enemy’s formation first? Anyway, these sea tribes don’t have long-range troops!”
"This is also the credit of our Majesty Richard. He showed me the reconnaissance map, but he didn't show me the details. As a result, I had no choice but to make this decision. While fighting, I slowly figured out the characteristics of Naga's arms." Long Mei.
I adjusted the bronze telescope in front of me and narrowed the focus: "Look! Naga's chariot troops are coming out! If I didn't observe it in advance, how would I know that their chariots are like this!"
Naga's chariot troops made many people dumbfounded. During the last sea and land war, Naga's vassals were very few. This time, they completely replaced their guns with cannons!
The chariot force composed of 20,000 sea lion warriors rolled over the wasteland with rumbling thunder. They jumped out from the rear array menacingly and flew diagonally on both wings. Their tactical intention was quite obvious - to attack the Lucerne army from left to right.
This chariot unit is not an ordinary chariot, but a round stone ball two or three meters high. On each huge stone ball are four fat and strong sea lion warriors standing, swaying their beards and treading water as hard as they can.
Treading the Stone Ball - This is a brand new type of chariot unit. It has no handlers, no saddles, and the warriors do not carry weapons. They rely entirely on the centrifugal force of stepping on the stone ball and the arc of the stone ball to roll and kill!
This kind of Hydrangea chariot is definitely not capable of long-distance maneuvering, but for short-range impact, just look at the power of the rolling stone ball to know how powerful it is!
Liu Zhencheng had long seen from the magic drawings that there were a large number of stone hydrangea in the baggage pulled by the giant squid, and he had also seen the daily training of these sea lion warriors, but he deliberately did not tell Rommel that Naga had such a unit, because he wanted to
Let's see how this handsome man will respond.
The scene of five thousand stone hydrangeas rolling in the wilderness was extremely spectacular. The Lucerne army, which was originally relatively careless, began to have large-scale riots. The entire front was like a twisted earthworm, with huge fluctuations.
"This kind of stone ball chariot looks mighty, but in fact once the sea lion warriors stepping on the ball are exhausted, the stone ball chariot that cannot roll will be slaughtered by others." Rommel smiled at Lao Liu and took out the ball.
The Bone Alliance Treasure Box shouted to the Yingniu officer on the other side of the coordinates: "Go up to the 10,000-man team! Force me to push back those sea lion soldiers who are stepping on stone balls! Remember! This is to force them back!"
"Why not kill?" Old Liu rolled his eyes.
"Because I want to recruit these fallen elves." Rommel smiled harmlessly: "Don't forget, our city of Lucerne is the holy land established by the fallen elves."
