After half a month of about 10,000 Dehrim's army, Dehrim finally arrived at the Elven Kingdom.

The Elven King sent soldiers from the main city of the Elven Kingdom to meet him.

After arranging a resting place for the soldiers in the army, Bandak and Derik visited the palace of the Elven Kingdom.

The Elven King had been waiting for them in the main hall of the palace for a long time, because he had met Bandak a few times before, and he was quite familiar. After seeing the figures of the two of them, the Elven King stepped forward and greeted Bandak, "Bandak Commander, long time no see. ”

Bandak and Daric saluted the Elven King and said, "Your Highness. ”

"Who is this?" The Elven King looked at Darek suspiciously, and asked Bandak.

"This is Commander Derick, who has just taken office. This time he was in charge of commanding Dehrem's military forces with me. Bandak detailed.

"I see." The Elven King nodded understandingly, and extended his hand to Derrick in greeting, "Hello, Commander Derik. ”

"First meeting." Darek humbly shook the hand of His Highness the Elven King.

The Elven King smiled, "It seems that the sergeants of Dehrim are indeed talented, and in such a short period of time, a suitable soldier can be selected as a commander." ”

"No, no." Bandak politely shook his head in disapproval.

The Elven King suddenly thought of something, and said with joy: "In the previous battle in the Land of the Undead, I heard from the medics sent by the Elven Kingdom that Dehrim had won a great victory. Congratulations. ”

"Well, after returning home, the lord has decided to let us go on an expedition to conquer the undead in response to the danger caused by the undead clan. The firepower of the undead is really fierce, and we are a little untenable with half of their combat power, and we can only say that in the end, we can rely on the concerted efforts of the warriors to win by luck. Bandak responded: "In it, your country's reinforcements have also made a great contribution to our efforts to defuse the crisis. Thank you so much. ”

"The reputation of Deherim's soldiers for their bravery and skillfulness has spread throughout the country on this side of the coast. Presumably, the lizardmen and gnolls will also be afraid to see you appear in front of the battle. The Elven King continued.

"Since your country's plan this time is to adopt a surprise war, we will definitely hide our bodies before the battle. Fight to kill them by surprise and win the war with the fewest casualties. Darek on the side spoke.

The Elven King nodded approvingly.

The details of the specific strategy are handed over by the elven armies to the two commanders of Dehrim.

Bandak and Deric did not stay long in the palace, after introducing the forces they had prepared on their side. He politely declined the Elven King's request for a banquet and returned to the arranged accommodation.

The next day, I will go to Cumberland through the official road of the Elven Kingdom.

The warriors packed their weapons and armor into cargo boxes.

Put on the costume sent by the elves, and prepare to walk on the road in casual clothes.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the first group of people set out. Due to the existence of the free trade market, the daily flow of people to and from the main city of Elves and Cumberland is also very large.

So even the pedestrians on the road didn't notice that it was a group of soldiers from Dehrim.

Bandak led the way for the first group of soldiers, while Derick led the last group of soldiers to take action. They finally arrived in Cumberland three days later.

The inhabitants of Cumberland did not seem to be aware of their arrival.

Someone approached them to ask them about the purpose of their trip, and when they learned that it was the reinforcements sent by De Herim, they cheered in a crowd.

They have also been suffering from harassment by the lizardmen and gnolls lately.

Now that they saw the troops sent by the motherland, most of them were so moved that they couldn't speak.

The soldiers were all placed in the camp of the garrison in Cumberland, and waited until the leader of the elven forces arrived. Bhandak began to deliberate around the round table with Darik and the elven leader Gabriel.

Gabr told the two of them that the elven troops had roughly pinpointed the exact location of the lizardmen and gnolls in the mountains, and that they were tracking and updating their locations every day.

Before Gabriel arrived at Cumberland, he had received the latest letters about the enemy's precise positioning.

After communicating what had happened, Gabr took out the coordinate flag and pointed out the location of the lizardmen and gnolls on the map.

After looking at the position that Gabr was pointing at for a while, Derick said, "If this information is accurate, then according to the strategic plan we made in the beginning, we can smoothly start the war. ”

Gabriel nodded, pointed to a piece of high ground not far from the coordinate flag, and said, "When the time comes, Dehrim's army can first ambush on the hill in the west." After our attack, we rushed down the hill to join us and seal off the lizardmen's retreat. ”

Bandak said, "The elves have also cooperated with Dehrim's army before, and I hope that this time it will be a good result." ”

Gabr replied, "This is a well-planned battle by the elven forces, and with the extraordinary combat prowess of Dehrim's soldiers, I am confident that I will be able to take out the lizardmen and gnolls at the border." ”

Hearing Gabrie's promise, both Bandak and Derik nodded in conviction.

Although he didn't participate much in the strategic deployment, from Bandak's point of view, the elves' plan this time was indeed much better than before, at least so far satisfactory.

On the day of the battle, before it was dark, Deherim's warriors set out for the ambush site.

In order to avoid being discovered by the lizardmen and gnolls spies, they chose a more remote path, to the west of the hill, and hid in a place where they could get a rough glimpse of the lizardfolk and gnolls warrior camp.

Bandak crawled on the grass, using his brown binoculars to observe the movements of the lizardmen and gnolls.

All soldiers were hiding in the order of the array.

The Swadia warriors were halfway up the hill, and when the cannon fire of the war rang out, they would lead the cavalry behind them to rush down the hill.

The sun was rising, and the warriors followed the shadows of the trees as they moved their positions.

"Here we are." Bandak called in a low voice.

As far as he could see, the elven forces were approaching the lizardmen and gnolls' tents.

And the soldiers who were in charge of patrolling around the barracks didn't seem to feel the approach of the elven soldiers yet. Still leaning together in groups and chatting.

Everyone's nerves on the hillside tensed and they were ready to sprint.
