No one expected that in this epic war, which was hailed as "the war of shameless betrayal" by later generations, when the snowflakes just fell, the first to launch a surprise attack would be composed of four northern elf kingdom armies. coalition.
Yes, the first to break the deadlock was neither the orcs who raided as the invading side, nor the humans who guarded their hometown, but the elves who were eager to take a surface to some existence.
At six o'clock in the morning, the undeclared crossbow arrows and magic sent the greetings of the elves. The human coalition sent the main force to fight, and the seven-nation coalition (excluding Donglan, including San Antonio), with a cumulative force of more than 500,000, went to battle More than 400,000 troops.
The total force of elves is 167,000. In front of the super empire, it is probably just a garrison in a large city, but its strength must not be underestimated.
The upper elves are of the silver race, and the weakest in adulthood have silver rank combat power, while the lower elves are equipped with the unique luxury battle equipment of elves, and it is not difficult to reach the comprehensive silver rank of human beings. Mage ratio, perhaps the number of these elves is not many, but the strength must not be underestimated.
"... We thought it was an ordinary war drill as before, but no one expected that those long ears would ignore their past feelings and use strategic magic to wash the ground from the beginning. Our people were seriously injured, and they even used enchantments. The heavy crossbow and the ancient elf tree, they are playing for real!"
Perhaps, this officer whose subordinates were almost wiped out could explain why he lost so badly. The arrogant human beings, instead of not expecting it, underestimated the determination of the elves from the very beginning.
The elves who have held grudges for many years came with the heart of a decisive battle from the beginning. Now that the masters of the elves have made a choice, they naturally know that they have no way back, but the proud Antonio people seem to take this again. As a stupid border conflict.
When the elves launched the raid, they were actually waiting for the results of the church and political diplomacy. In the war plan made by the general headquarters, there was no plan for how to deal with the attack by the elves.
As for the other Northland countries, they thought that since San Antonio came, the sky would fall and there would be a high fixation, but they didn't think much about it. When disaster strikes, the first unlucky one is often the slowest runner. weak.
As a result, when the two sides confronted each other, their understanding and attitude towards war put the raided human coalition at a disadvantage.
The tall ancient trees of war impacted the cavalry wing, and the huge roots were able to fly several unlucky bastards each time, and the human lances did not do much for this kind of creature, and when the knights put on the wrapping lead to deal with the giants. When it comes to net tactics, the behemoth that suddenly takes root and turns into a huge tree is even more overwhelmed.
Gryphon knights were challenged by hippogryph archers. These powerful aerial ligers finally met their natural enemies. The elf archers with no bullets were very good at riding and shooting. Shooting through the gaps in the heavy helmets of Gryphon knights would be no use to them. It is not difficult, but on the other hand, even if they have an overall advantage in melee combat ability, the Griffin Knights, who have been thoroughly studied by the opponent, have a hard time pulling the battle down to their most suitable distance, often in constant pursuit and anti-chasing. was shot down.
And when the battle reached a stalemate, the precise and vicious magical support of the elves became the hammer that broke the balance of the battlefield.
Mage needs the accumulation of time and knowledge, and the longevity species has a unique advantage in this regard. In the face of elves coming out of their nests, most of the great spells of human mage are suppressed, and the magic power of both sides is not at the same level.
Human priests and paladins may be the bright spots in the melee, but they can't play a huge role because they lack powerful attack techniques.
The elves that have always been the allies are probably the opponents that humans lack the most combat experience and countermeasures, while the elves in the north have always regarded humans as their imaginary enemies.
And when the first wave of confrontation reached a stalemate, the second sharp knife of the orcs was still not wielded by their own hands.
The troops of the Ansolo Empire, who acted as the arrow on the right wing of the army, turned their backs on the front, and turned their blades directly, and the knife slashed towards their allies.
As the central army, San Antonio never thought that his right wing would suddenly defect. The assassins who had been prepared for a long time broke out at the same time. In the chaos of the battlefield, he was assassinated by his allies. Alan Rem, number 98, was assassinated, and the entire battlefield was at a stalemate.
When the news of the enemy being attacked on the back and the assassination of the coach spread, and the coalition forces of various countries began to shake, the army of the orcs began to move. The defeat is set.
Orcs who are good at slaughter have taught humans a good lesson, what is crushing by a single soldier, and what is running with beasts.
"Can two human warriors deal with one orc? When the orcs put on the armor of earth element protection and are sent into a frenzy by the shaman's war song, an ordinary orc veteran can be transformed into a war killing device, a standard The team (12 people) may not have killed an elite orc whose attack and defense doubled like this."
In this campaign, with the combined efforts of the three parties, the traps laid out by the Chaos side finally began to close the line, and the human side suffered a fiasco and lost the first battle.
Of the 400,000 troops who came out to fight, less than half of the defeated troops returned to Red Maple City alive, and most of them were injured. The human coalition must turn from strategic attack to defense.
And when Eliza heard the news, she was also very surprised.
"A human country actually betrayed the entire human world? They don't plan to mix up?"
"In a sense, the Ansolor Empire is quite similar to the Land of Lan in the past, and probably has had enough of the grievances. But the fuse of this direct outbreak should be the bastards in San Antonio. Use them as cannon fodder."
"Yeah, it's too much. I feel some sympathy for An Solo. Our small country is weak. This time An Solo has taken out the coffin book. It's too much. No wonder they chose to go to extremes."
Sure enough, soon, a strongly worded declaration of war was announced.
In the announcement, the Ansolo Empire, which is a country that declared war, angrily denounced San Antonio as the leader for using the military power of other countries as cannon fodder, and locked the target of the declaration of war on San Antonio, saying that he did not betray the order side and mainstream human society. the meaning of.
Of course, no matter what he says, those who should believe will still believe, and those who shouldn't believe are meaningless. Actual actions are the most straightforward expression.
"It sounds nice, then why are orcs and elves mixed together."
With the betrayal of the Ansolo Empire, the Red Maple City at this time fell into chaos, cleaning up the remaining forces and spies, and the latent assassins who took advantage of the chaos to assassinate, and even medium and high combat power directly in Attacking and killing important people in the city.
The original city lord also died in 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 local people. The slogan is 'Use your hands to find your past good life'.
They are not soldiers, and they are meaningless to the outside army. The direction of their efforts is very simple, to combat those lawless thugs, so that the city can still maintain order and vitality.
Few people know that the Chamber of Commerce, which has a background in slave trading, is just an organization used to keep the civilian orcs alive, and its leader is a foreigner.
"The military headquarters of the Allied Forces is in chaos. All the official institutions in the city are paralyzed, their functions have stopped, and the funds from the Chamber of Commerce are about to end. This is really going to be unbearable. Come back soon, Roland."
…
"Woohoo, it's so pitiful, there are such cruel parents. Rest assured, Amway, I will help you. As long as he dares to appear in front of you, Amarea will help him to fly him, and the four hoofs kick together. Oh, if you need a fulcrum, then just barely three."
In the forest where the exit of the dungeon is located, by a bonfire, girls from three races are talking happily.
"You... aren't you afraid of me? I'm a banshee."
Facing the doubts of the pale white phantom, Annie and Anlia looked at each other, then covered their mouths and smiled.
"The person Sister Anne likes is a lich. Well, it's probably not a lich now. But we have no prejudice against the undead. And sister seems to be a natural undead, so only very special people can be converted, either very kind or good. The resentment is very deep, how can I be afraid."
"Yes, Your Highness Suana, why don't you come with us. We are going to a country where there is no prejudice against the undead. Perhaps, you can find the answer to peace you have been looking for all your life there."
