Because of the previous disastrous defeat, the aggressive forces of the wilderness race suffered a severe blow. The armies of the civilized race outside the mountainous area did not suffer too many losses at all, so naturally they would not stop moving deeper into the mountainous area.
In just a few days, Pine Valley, the most important base of the wilderness race on the periphery, was lost. After occupying Pine Valley, the civilized race coalition built it into a forward base and expanded further.
Although the battle situation has improved locally after the Wilderness race changed tactics, it still cannot prevent the overall battle situation on the battlefield from changing in a direction that is unfavorable to itself.
Especially after the bases built behind the civilized races were dug out one after another, panic spread throughout all the settlements of the wilderness races in the region.
Therefore, in desperation, this group of guys who refused to accept anyone because of historical grievances could only choose to stay together to avoid being defeated by the coalition forces of civilized races.
This is why the leaders of those tribes and city-states gathered together for a meeting with their core commanders at the front line at this critical moment.
For the sake of fairness and safety, the meeting location was placed at the exit of a certain dark area.
Unlike most exits, this is a cave hall with a large span and entrance but a very shallow depth. On the side of the cave hall close to the mountain, there are also several deep caves that connect downwards to the underground spaces.
But now, the venue that should have been quiet and solemn was filled with noisy voices. Curses and denunciations of the attacking coalition of civilized races, discussions and arguments on how to deal with the current situation, and the crying voices of representatives of the unlucky forces were mixed together.
It's more lively than the vegetable market here.
But it’s normal to think about this situation. Although these guys present are leaders of various forces, considering that this group of rabble-rousers with average or even feuding relationships did not gather together for more than two months.
, so now not using weapons and extraordinary strength can be regarded as a manifestation of discipline.
"Okay, please be quiet now!" Looking at the group of guys below, they evolved from spitting at each other to small-scale physical collisions, and they might get into a ball at any time. The dark elf matron who presided over the meeting held up a sword inlaid in her hand.
Obsidian's golden scepter knocked on the table. Then he stood up and said.
As the commander-in-chief elected by this group of wilderness race coalition forces, the matron Angst from the first family of Black Scale Grass City, the largest city in the region, is now quite dissatisfied with these guys.
In her opinion, these guys who held each other back in the war would be better off even if they were sacrificed to the Spider Queen.
"Having a meeting is more noisy than the battlefield. Why don't you use so much energy on the battlefield? Now that the enemy is almost in front of us, don't you feel a little nervous?"
As the matron of the dark elves spoke, she held the bottom of the scepter hard and made a clanking sound on the table.
After seeing the supreme commander of the coalition getting angry, everyone immediately calmed down. After all, for this group of rabble, there was only one reason why they chose this dark elf as their commander-in-chief.
For this group of chaotic and evil wilderness races, big fists are the truth. So they will naturally give face to this dark elf.
After watching the guys on the field calm down, Angst finally felt that she could feel calmer inside. So she started to talk about the content of this meeting.
"The guys from outside have already broken through Falling Eagle Ridge and started to build a series of fortifications and clear the rear. If we don't do something, the situation will be even more passive than it is now."
"But what can we do now?" At this moment, an unharmonious voice came from the side.
Angest turned around to look, and found that Dunif, the gray dwarf city lord who was the only one in this group of people who could rival the dark elves, stood up and said.
"Previously, we followed your order and sent our most elite troops to participate in your so-called important counterattack plan, but as a result we lost 60% of our manpower."
"Dunif, shut your mouth. You are not the only one who has suffered heavy losses in this place." After hearing the gray dwarf come out to argue, Angst, who had a grudge between the two sides, said angrily.
"The second operation was carried out after everyone here agreed, and a large number of magical spells were used to prevent the enemy from using prophetic magic to obtain our action plan. I believe that unless the other party can invite the incarnation of the gods, otherwise
It’s absolutely impossible—”
Faced with the attack by this disgusting gray dwarf, Angest immediately defended herself, but compared to this excuse, she actually hoped to use magic or poison to kill the annoying guy.
It's a pity that this is not the right time to take action. Otherwise, once everyone is forced to disperse, she will not be able to rely on her own strength to save the city-state.
"No matter what you say, our plan failed in the end. And with the failure of the plan, we lost a large number of elite troops. For example, our city-state completely lost one of its three core heavy iron crusher companies.
"
Dunif, the gray dwarf city lord, crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "We can no longer afford a failure like this a second time."
The gray dwarf city lord is so angry partly because he is pretending to hope to gain benefits for himself, but most of it is the vent of his true inner emotions. Because to him, the enchanted armor that the entire city-state spent two to three hundred years accumulating
More than half of the weapons and weapons were lost in just a few days. If it happened again, he felt that even if he finally drove out the coalition forces of those civilized races, his city would be dead.
However, he also understood that now was not the time for everyone to quarrel, so after nagging for a long time to vent his inner anger, he quickly found a step and stopped.
But at this time, everyone also understood through the argument between these two people that the current situation was indeed a bit bad. If the status quo was not changed, everyone would lose.
For the people present now, their enemies are not only the armies attacking from outside the mountains, but also each other sitting here. Even for many of them, the threat from outsiders is far less than the threat from their neighbors.
threaten.
After all, for the coalition of civilized races headed by humans, their core mission in attacking here is to build a road that can cross the large mountains, not to fight to the death with these wild creatures.
In other words, if they really can't hold their position in the future, they can completely flee to the mountainous areas elsewhere. As long as they can escape from the area radiated by this transportation line, they will be safe. The coalition forces of those intelligent races will never be bored.
The army stayed in the mountains for a long time and played hide and seek with them.
But their neighbors are not like that. Just the fact that the environment they need to survive is the same is enough for them to fight for living space.
Not to mention the inherent thirst for materials as evil creatures and the hatred between everyone that lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Therefore, everyone present believed that if they suffered more losses than others in this war, then others would never spare them for the sake of fighting side by side before.
Instead, they will directly divide their wealth, population and everything.
Of course, as the current commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Angst also knows this in her heart. But she also knows that if they can't organize people to do something while everyone is still dispersed, then they will definitely have to abandon them.
The choice is between leaving everything behind or being annihilated by the enemy.
