The Archduke of Troy finally decided to send troops.
He mobilized the most elite troops from various cities in the country, numbering 10,000, with General Homer as the commander, assisted by David and Jerry, and marched towards Hailong City in a mighty manner.
In Hailong City, after receiving the news, General Owen hurriedly sent people to invite the elf envoys to discuss countermeasures.
Just as the two sides were discussing how to respond to the enemy, soldiers suddenly came to report that troops from Shenglong City had been stationed on the hill near Hailong City. The leading general had already arrived in front of the city gate, saying that he was bringing Lord Keen.
instructions!
Owen hurriedly left the city with the elf envoys to meet the generals of Holy Dragon City.
The one who led the troops was Zhuoma, who had met Owen before.
"General Zhuoma! What are you..." Owen was very puzzled by his departure and return. Now that Shenglong City's troops were in short supply, he had sent 6,000 soldiers to help, so why did he suddenly send another army?
"General Owen, this is Lord Keen's latest combat strategy!" Dolma handed a letter to Owen's hand, "It just so happens that the envoy from the elves is also here, so I don't have to make an extra trip."
"Lord Keen's latest combat strategy?" Owen opened the letter and looked at it with the elf envoy. After reading it, both of them smiled.
"Lord Keen is really powerful," said the elf envoy. "The enemy has already reached this point before he decides to send troops!"
"As expected of a man who cooperates with the Dragon Clan," Owen said, "We were worried about this matter, and Lord Keen immediately sent us a solution! It's just that the leader of the enemy army is Homer, the strongest of the younger generation in the Principality of Hales.
General, he is a 7th level great swordsman. The two lieutenants beside him are also 5th level experts. He also has an elite force of tens of thousands of people! This elite force is almost the core combat force of the Principality of Hales.
It’s very difficult to deal with! Even if the three parties form a siege, I’m afraid we will suffer heavy losses!”
"Don't worry!" Zhuoma said with a smile, "Just because of this, Lord Keen asked me to transport a large number of mines and bombs as the main weapons for this battle. In addition to the ones Lord Keen gave to the elves before,
This batch is enough to wipe out the elite troops of the Principality of Hales! These weapons are all made by Lord Keen himself, and their power is quite amazing. Not to mention the army of the Principality of Hales, even if the elite troops of the four empires come, they will probably suffer heavy losses.
!”
"So powerful?" Owen asked anxiously, "Can you show me the power first?"
"No problem!" Zhuoma laughed loudly, "I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
Not to mention that the three parties gathered here in Hailong City to discuss tactics and study the power of bombs and mines. Just say that General Homer led the elite troops of the Principality of Wales to travel day and night, crisscrossing mountains and rivers to send troops from the capital, and rushed all the way to the outside of Hailong City.
About ten miles of woods.
The army is stationed on the spot. After all, the soldiers have been traveling overnight for several days and must recharge their batteries before they can participate in the battle!
When the army was stationed, General Homer was not idle and ordered the scouts to explore the road first to find out the enemy's movements.
The scouts went out to investigate carefully, and when they came back, they informed General Homer that the surrounding roads leading to Hailong City were blocked, and there was no way for the army to bypass them and attack Hailong City by surprise.
General Homer didn't take it seriously. Since he couldn't go around and attack by surprise, he would just attack from the mainland openly, and then regain Hailong City in one fell swoop with an absolute advantage in combat power!
Scouts were sent here to investigate, and of course there were also scouts from Hailong City.
After receiving the news, the troops of the Principality of Wales had arrived ten miles outside Haikong City and were stationed on the spot. Owen immediately invited Dolma and the elves' leading general Roald.
The road leading to Hailong City has long been blocked by them, prohibiting any caravans and passers-by from passing through, and the entire road is mined. If General Homer directly leads the attack, he will suffer heavy losses in the mine array!
However, they did not attack immediately, but instead stayed on the spot to rest. Therefore, the three parties discussed and finally decided to use more powerful tactics to deal with the enemy!
That night, General Zhuoma led his troops and took off on Ruruto. They took a long detour and came to the only road two kilometers away from where the Hales Army Corps was stationed. They quickly began to bury the
mines.
Owen led the troops to guard the road leading to Hailong City, and the troops lined up in a row and entered combat mode.
The elven troops have also arrived to assist Owen in guarding the road, but among them are 10 Pegasus knights and 500 Blue Winged Bird knights, all carrying bombs and ready to attack.
Late at night, Dolma's troops successfully planted a dense and terrifying array of mines on the road behind the army of the Principality of Hales. Then the entire army hid in the darkness nearby and sent one person riding Ruruto to quickly return to Owen's side.
General Homer had no idea that the enemy had secretly planted terrible minefields on both front and rear roads for his troops. Although there were troops patrolling near the camp, he could not imagine his current situation.
Owen was overjoyed to receive the information about the completion of the work from Dolma, and immediately said to the Elf general Roald: "Get ready, it's up to you next!"
"Let us destroy all the enemy forces in one fell swoop!" Roald jumped on the Pegasus, pulled the reins and ordered loudly, "Flying Army, follow me for a surprise attack!"
The Pegasus flapped its wings and took Roald into the air. The other Pegasus behind him immediately took off to follow, and the 500 Blue Winged Bird Knights followed closely behind. The Elf troops directly crossed the night sky towards the enemy camp.
go ahead.
The person in charge of the night patrol is General Jerry of the Principality of Wales.
He led the soldiers and rode horses back and forth around the camp.
"General!" When the men and horses were exhausted, a soldier suddenly shouted, "What is that?"
Jerry looked towards the source of the sound and saw a soldier raising his head and pointing to the sky with a look of surprise. He raised his head in the direction pointed by the soldier, and saw a soldier flying in the night sky under the moonlight.
Hundreds of giant birds were densely packed. The leaders looked like some quite rare Pegasus.
"It's the Elf Troops!!" Pegasus can only be ridden by the Elf race. Few other races have enough affinity to make Pegasus feel at ease. And it seems that only the Elf race can train birds as flying mounts! Jerry exclaimed,
"Send an enemy attack alert!"
"Yes!!" The soldier who received the order immediately ran back to the camp and blew a shrill, trumpet-like instrument.
"Crossbowmen shoot!!" Jerry commanded Ruoding. The best way to deal with an air force like this is of course the crossbow unit!
According to the oral combat experience passed down by the older generation, the elven air combat troops also need to drop to a certain level before attacking with bows and arrows. So when they launch an attack, it is also the best time to counterattack!
Although the experience was correct, this time the Elf Air Force changed their tactics. Instead of descending to the attack distance to shoot arrows, they began to throw black spheres downwards from high in the sky.
