Chapter 943: Tracing (2)

There should be no need to go into too much detail about what the essentials of guerrilla warfare are, of which mobility is the most important component.

If you want to deal with an enemy who is good at guerrilla warfare, you must either exclude large corps to carry out encirclement operations, or you must exclude elite units with high mobility.

The former was too costly, not to mention how much food and grass it would cost to use a large army, and there was no truce between Lopwen and their western city-states, but it was just not as lively as before.

Lopwen also understood that pressing too hard would make the western city-states quickly regroup, so they adopted a strategy of combining vertical and horizontal with the western countries to divide and encircle.

Although there is not much fighting, the posture of the large army to press the border still needs to be there, so the large army cannot be used.

In this context, two of the ace units of Lopven, the Knights of the Steelback and the Knights of the Wyvern, have become the best candidates, not only with excellent mobility, but also with good combat effectiveness.

But even if the cost of the Knights of the Steelback is relatively low compared to the Knights of the Earthwalker, large-scale assembly is an impossible task, and the total number of Knights of the Steelback outside of Kodo County is now about 1,000, almost half of the Knights have been pulled over.

Of course, it is impossible for such a person to catch the remnants of Naua, which is more sensitive than rabbits, even if the military has relatively reliable information, the two sons of the Lionheart are not blind, and the whereabouts of the Knights of the Steel Back must already be known.

Since you can't hide your whereabouts, don't hide them at all.

An Yizhi estimated that Lopwen's military considered letting the Knights of the Steel Back press in as a threatening existence, forcing the two sons of Lionheart to show their flaws.

And the most critical fatal blow was completed by the Wyvern Knights, who are now completely lost.

To put it figuratively, the Knights of Steel are the hunting dogs that chase the rabbits, they are responsible for driving the rabbits out of their holes, and finally the hunter's guns deliver the final blow.

A very simple but practical plan, the hearts of those who play tactics are indeed dirty, but once this kind of dignified royal road marching formation is used, it will be even more difficult for the opponent to find a flaw to break it.

In other words, if An Yizhi had been following the Steelback Knights, he should have been able to find the two sons of King Lionheart in the end, but it is estimated that An Yizhi would be able to help them collect their corpses at that time.

An Yizhi himself has indeed stepped into the class of ten thousand enemies, and he also has the ability to form an army of one person, but the skeletons summoned by the Book of the Dead are too weak to resist the charge of the Knights of the Steel Back.

Without using the Book of the Dead, An Yi pointed out that he faced a full 1,000 big men with their feet and several tons of steelback beasts sitting down, not to mention the most elite Wyvern Knights watching in the shadows......

The best and least labor-saving way is to drive the two sons of the Lionheart to the area where the Knights of the Wyvern are attacking, and run away with them in advance.

Having said that, I still can't get around the most critical issue.

An Yizhi really didn't know where the Lionheart's two sons were now.

Even if he returned to Amen to ask Bishop Tolan with an amber escape, the small forces sent by the Temple of Dawn to help them had long since lost contact for secrecy, and it can be said that no one knows their exact location now.

Players outside of Cordor County are still drinking and bragging, and the Knights of the Steel Back are still repairing to ensure that they are in perfect condition when they actually carry out their missions.

An Yi pointed to the wine glass and opened the player forum casually.

There are very few posts on the forums about the Wyvern Knights, and the only information is that they set off before sunset and headed northeast, so there is no further news at all, and players can only guess that they are going with the Knights of Steel to deal with the two sons of the Lionheart.

Looking at the forum, An Yizhi typed 'Dosu Map' in the search bar, and soon found a post that was refined.

As for the map of the Overworld Dosu, the official has been released in the game manual that came with the closed beta game warehouse, but the official map is very rudimentary, except for the names of large cities and landmark mountains and rivers, there are no other signs at all, and smaller villages will not even appear on the map at all.

But the players are sore in the egg.

It can also be understood as an idle egg pain,When the open beta opens,A large number of players poured into the world of the brave,This official map has been modified beyond recognition by the raiders.,Not only the location of the neglected village.,Even the distribution of monsters has been marked.,It's really a group of conscience.。

Finding the area north of Lopwen, An Yizhi looked all the way along the edge of the Swamp of the Dead and the Vida Forest, and nodded secretly.

Try your luck and check it out.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Directly north of Lopwen, slightly bypassing the Swamp of the Dead from the west side is the destroyed city of Naua, and advancing from the east side of the Swamp of the Dead, walking along the periphery, through the forest of Vida, you can still reach the city of Naua, but the detour is too far, and you will not take this road if you go to Naua.

But even though the city of Naua's has been completely destroyed, the long detour is still very busy, because of the counties along it.

They are the seventeen northern counties, including Kodo County.

Although their location is northeast of Lopwen, everyone is used to calling them that.

These seventeen counties can be said to be the meat of Lopwen's heart, even if you don't count Kodo County, which produces a large number of herbs and precious alchemy materials every day, the other sixteen counties produce things, each of which is something that Lopwen depends on for his livelihood.

The high-quality ore used to craft weapons, the precious timber used to build ships, the food that supported the movement of the Lopven army, and even the uniforms worn by the soldiers depended on the wool and cotton produced here, all from the seventeen northern counties.

Strictly speaking, the Seventeen Northern Counties are not Lopwen's territory, but are treated like a client state, and it is said that a 'Seventeen Counties Agreement' was signed at the beginning, with Lopwen providing protection, and they traded raw materials for their own safety.

With the passage of time, the lords of the seventeen counties are now all nobles of Luo Puwen, which is the result of more than ten generations of friendship, Luo Puwen gradually cannibalized them with the Huairou policy, and the so-called 'seventeen county agreement' has existed in name only.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before they move the grain and grass, and they don't give the army enough to eat, how can they be expected to fight? Open the modifier?

Such an important position is self-evident to Lopvine, and when the two sons of the Lionheart fought guerrilla here, the impact on Lopwen can be imagined.

The war with the western city-states has temporarily entered a state of relaxation, and Lopwen has chosen a strategy of combining vertical and horizontal to divide and disintegrate them, which means that Lopwen finally has free time to sort out the problems in his rear.

The Knights of the Steelback were also destined for the Seventeen Northern Counties, and they set off again after resting outside of Kodor County for more than an hour, and the players who followed them naturally rode their various mounts far behind and waited to pick up the leak.

An Yizhi also mixed in for a while, and it didn't take long for him to pretend that the Phantom Pony was physically exhausted and couldn't keep up with the appearance of the large army and slowly left the group.

Anyway, no one here knows him, it's just one less person, and it won't attract any attention at all.

He then gathered up the Phantom Pony, found a place where no one was around, and then spread his dragon wings and flew all the way northeast.

The Steelback Knights' Steelback Beasts have strong charging ability and good stamina, making them easy to tamestinate compared to Earthwalking Dragons. But after all, they are guys who can only run on the ground, and they are more than a step slower than An Yizhi, who flies from the sky.

It didn't take long for him to not only surpass the Knights of the Steelback, but he was getting farther and farther away.

An Yizhi's target was a place called Lesa County, one of the seventeen counties in the north.

It is mainly a county that produces cotton, goats, and drought-tolerant crops, and its location is exactly east of the center of the seventeen northern counties, with the Heavenly Sword Mountains to the north and the Falling Star Sea to the south.

An Yizhi planned to go there first to find out the news, but he really couldn't wait there for the Steelback Knights, they would definitely pass by anyway.

Hela who knows the stars is in charge of navigation, and Ann Yizhi also goes down from time to time to see what the names of the villages he passes by, and with the rather detailed map on the forum, it is only a matter of time before he finds Lysa County.

When it comes to time, it's really running out.

The main reason is that players have a limited amount of time to play the game every day, the real time is 8 hours, and the overworld has a fixed time ratio of 4:1, and An Yizhi only has a total of 32 hours of adventure time in Dosu, and then he has to go offline and wait for tomorrow.

Today, a lot of time has been spent in the Swamp of the Dead, and he has gone underground to explore, leaving only a little more than an hour (game time) for An Yizhi to continue online.

But if you count the distance, you're almost to Lesa County.

To his left is the towering Heavenly Sword Mountains, and if you look in that direction, you can see the shadowy Vida Forest, and below is the arid land, somewhat similar to the Loess Plateau, with a strange formation of criss-crossing canyons and flat plains.

Facing the moonlight, An Yizhi also turned on the Thunder King's divine power, and the added mystical power attribute can greatly increase the flight speed of the dragon wing, with his super fast magic recovery ability, and the travel speed of Dosu in the main world will not be slow in the future.

This is the general trend, and when the level of players gradually increases, being able to fly and be able to fly is no longer a specialty of some people.

But flying solo is far less safe than flying an airboat, for ...... reasons

He soon found out.

An Yizhi, who was flying, suddenly felt a tingling pain from his back, which was a sense of danger and a way to alert him that danger was approaching.

With a turn of his wings, he made a roll in mid-air, and then saw three javelins flying dangerously close to his side.

The javelin was striking in the direction of him, and Ann pulled his hood with one finger and looked up.

He saw four knights riding two-legged wyverns covered in armor, and on one side of the wyvern was a bag filled with javelins that had just been shot at him.

On the knight's chest is a conspicuous and luxurious coat of arms, which is the coat of arms of Lopwen.

- Knights of the Wyvern.
