On the outskirts of the Mist Forest, close to the Saxon border fortress Bellica, Space Knight Goddard was listening to the reports sent back by the elf scouts at the outpost.
A mercenary group and some private guards of slave merchants from the Free City have arrived at the outskirts of the Forest of Mist. The Kingdom of Saxony has made many diplomatic efforts but failed to stop these greedy businessmen, and issued a certificate in the Free City. After the document was filed, the Kingdom of Saxony chose to let them go under Yalin's instruction, but the royal family took this opportunity to extort a high price from these businessmen.
"The first mercenary group was the Soaring Eagle mercenary group, which had about three hundred people. Among them were six mages, but only one was above level ten. The slave merchant's private army probably numbered more than two hundred people. Now the mercenaries The regiment has already set off for the forest. According to the news from Belika Fortress, it is estimated that they will arrive at our area at noon tomorrow. "
The frost and snow elf scouts wearing silver masks reported the situation in detail. Compared to the past, all the elf scouts have also put on a new batch of equipment. At least everyone can wear "high-end" skins with magic levels. Armor and weapons.
These weapons were made by the craftsmen and mages in the Forger's Hall and the Researcher's Tower in order to improve their skills. Over time, a lot of equipment of various levels accumulated. Low-level and intermediate-level equipment were collected and prepared for later use. Because it is sold to the high elves who have settled down, the high-end and sophisticated equipment are used to equip the direct line troops first. The few pieces of excellent equipment that occasionally appear are naturally divided up by friends from the anime world.
Goddard thought for a moment and then said: "More than five hundred people can be considered a small army!"
"Moreover, there are mercenary groups that are gathering to the Kingdom of Saxony. It is said that even the famous Black Wolf mercenary group in the Free City will come. The number of this mercenary group alone is more than a thousand, and its overall strength is Very strong too," the elf scout continued.
Mercenaries dreaming of getting rich are constantly coming to the Forest of Mist, but these mercenaries probably never dreamed that they would be betrayed when they entered this country!
The details such as the number and equipment of the mercenary groups reported by the mercenaries were quickly communicated by the country's officials to the enemies they were about to face. So far, the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Saxony has collected the information about each mercenary group through hidden channels. Sent to Miriya and others. In Yumiriya and Didierda returned to the city of Ulduar. The Belika Fortress, which is close to the Forest of Mist and has now become the largest trading port with Ulduar City, also constantly monitors the mercenary group stationed outside the town of Belika and sends their actions to the Forest of Mist at any time. In the hands of the frost and snow elves.
"Tch~ No matter how many more come, just kill them all."
Feiying, who was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, clicked his tongue and said. After the injury had completely recovered, Feiying once again volunteered to run to the front line to fight. Obviously, the battle with the black dragon Rogge had greatly stimulated Feiying. Now All Hiei could think about was fight, fight, fight! You must be able to quickly improve your strength. At least the next time he faced the giant dragon, he would not be suppressed so easily.
"Killing them is very simple, we just have to consider our losses and the diplomatic ability of the Kingdom of Saxony."
Heathcliff walked in under the leadership of an elf ranger at this time. Hearing what Fei Ying said was too direct, Heathcliff reminded him a little. Obviously, Heathcliff, who had led a team before, would consider the casualties of the team when commanding the battle. He could not just focus on killing the enemy on the battlefield.
It was obvious that Heathcliff was dressed like many mercenaries, which attracted the attention of Feiying and Goddard. Feiying looked at Heathcliff up and down and asked with some inexplicable discomfort: "This guy Who is it? The prisoner we just captured!"
"Obviously┉┉" Heathcliff took out a emblem from his pocket: "I'm not."
"Cut~"
Hiei, who was about to try out the new sword with Heathcliff, turned his head in confusion after seeing the emblem and ignored him. Goddard, on the other hand, calmly took the initiative to shake Heathcliff's hand and invite him. He takes his seat.
Now the frontline outpost has been expanded a lot, and the entire outpost has been dug into a huge underground fortress. And built living facilities, material warehouses, weapons depots and cells that can accommodate hundreds of people. The initial teleportation circle was also built into a teleportation gate. Although it is a small teleportation gate, it can pass through about fifty people and more at one time. More than one hundred tons of cargo
According to the long-term plan, Yalin plans to build this outpost into a frontline base. In the future plan, Turiyalin will directly turn the entire Mist Forest into his own sphere of influence. This area is almost as wide as Yalin's original world in Taiwan. The size of the island is almost the same. If we need to defend against the Holy City and the Holy See in the future, then there are several must-pass entrances and exits that require the construction of fortifications.
Now following Heathcliff, there are a hundred ice sharpshooters and fifty tauren warriors arriving together. President Kim Bradley, Ice Archer Ashe, and the powerful alchemist Major Alex also arrived soon after. After gathering, everyone got to know each other. Immediately after leaving, he began to analyze the situation and immediately began to formulate a battle plan.
As the commander, Kim Bradley is naturally responsible for the overall strategy in the rear. The frontline battles will be commanded by Ashe and Heathcliff, while Major Alex and Feiying are arranged in the team as combatants. Ashe and Feiying are Shadow is in the first team, and Heathcliff is in the same team as Major Alex. Because Goddard, the last space knight, has the ability to fly, he has been randomly judged based on the battlefield situation.
"This mercenary group is different from the previous ones. They are not here to dig some herbs and capture the Split-Tooth Wolf, but to try to capture the Frost Snow Elves."
After analyzing the intelligence, Kim Bradley immediately began to make tactical arrangements: "First of all, considering that they don't have much information about the frost and snow elves, they will most likely send spies to clear the way. If possible, I want to set up a trap. , try to lure them here┉┉and here!”
On a magically rendered terrain map. Kim Bradley pointed to a place about ten kilometers away to the west of the current location, where Feiying once fought with Rogge. Because of the aftermath of the battle between the two, a large area of forest was leveled, leaving almost no obstacles. Things, if a mercenary group is ambushed somewhere, it will be 100% doomed.
Ai Xi nodded but said in a questioning tone: "It's a good idea, but how to lead them there? We can't just let a few elves wave to them and lead them there."
This time it is a large-scale mercenary group. Although they are also motivated by interests, they are different from those scattered mercenaries. It is impossible for the other party to chase them all just to capture one or two elves, but if they want to be dispatched on a large scale, it will definitely be a battle. A fierce battle. Moreover, even if the other party wanted to pursue them, they would definitely send scouts to explore the way. It would be impossible for them to foolishly chase them into a blank plain. Even a fool would know what is inside.
Kim Bradley showed a very 'kind' smile and said confidently: "Don't worry, since they are here to capture the elves, they definitely hope to find the habitat of the elves, and that is what they are looking for. place."
Small teams of mercenaries want to capture elves and dwarves, and they all want to meet lone people. If they accidentally encounter a group of elves or dwarves, it's not sure who will catch whom, but what a large mercenary group likes most is to capture them. The lone elves will then torture out the locations of villages and towns from their mouths. According to the situation, the mercenary group will set off to attack the entire town in one go, so as to capture more slaves.
In the Kingdom of Karut, the most recent elf town targeted was a large town with nearly 5,000 people. At that time, a mercenary group that did not understand the situation casually attacked somewhere. As a result, not only was it almost completely destroyed, but also Alarming the snake caused the elves to abandon the town and start to flee. It eventually turned into a big chase from the Kingdom of Kalut to the Kingdom of Saxony. In the end, some elves escaped the pursuit of the mercenary group and the slave-catching team and entered. Holy capital.
"But it's just flat land now." Ai Xi roughly understood what the other party meant: "Even if we go to arrange it now, I'm afraid it's too late. We have to know that the other party will enter this area at noon tomorrow, and we don't have much time."
"No~ we have plenty of time, even enough to lay a lot of traps wherever possible." Kim Bradley said as he glanced at Major Alex standing aside: "Major! It's working time, try to lay out as many traps as possible. Be presentable and don’t let the other party see any flaws.”
Alex patted his chest and said boldly: "Please don't worry, Your Excellency, I will go to arrange it right away."
"The two Elric brothers are already busy somewhere. Go and help them complete the project as soon as possible."
In the open space more than ten kilometers away, the light of the forged formation continued to shine. Piles of wood and stone were rapidly changing their shapes into houses. Not only that, paths, pools, and gardens were also rapidly taking shape.
"Brother~ The shape of that house is wrong. Didn't you say it should be built according to the shape of the design drawing?"
“I’m just adding a little bit of creativity, it’s just a room that doesn’t matter.”
Alphonse looked at a house that had become like the Castle of Evil and corrected it. Edward, who built the house, looked very unhappy and had to use alchemy to modify the shape of the house again under Alphonse's supervision. Let this house have the style of the elves in another world. (To be continued...)
