Chapter 850: Terrorism
The fierce battle at Arissanret had been going on for a whole day and a night.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Erathia Army, the Entagrean Army was undoubtedly crazy - in order to ensure the continuity of the attack, the Entagri Army even organized a special corpse transport team to transport the corpses of the dead who might block the passage in time, whether these corpses were their own or the enemy's.
The Erathian army has always been good at fighting tough battles, but this is the first time that such an almost crazy battle has been encountered, and the determination and will shown by the enemy at this moment have made the Erathia tough guys, who have always been proud of their courage, begin to feel a little fearful, they really don't understand what kind of faith supports those alien soldiers to go forward so desperately, and they are not afraid of death.
However, the tough guys of Erathia did not back down because of the toughness shown by the enemy, they also had the determination and will not to lose to their opponents, not to mention, their Empress Her Majesty was behind them, with the Empress here, how could they lose? And how can you lose?
But in many cases, the victory or defeat of the war is not only determined by people's determination and will, determination and will, although important, but not the absolute guarantee of victory, and the future fate of the Erathia Empire is not only determined by the arduous offensive and defensive war they are facing.
It had been more than a day since Catherine had stepped out of the tent and taken over the command again.
For Catherine, the situation is undoubtedly very bad, she has just cleared her mind, wants to turn the passive into the active, and is ready to organize forces to counterattack the Entagri army, which has already launched a general attack like a preemptive opportunity.
Once again, her plans were disrupted.
In the face of the seemingly reckless onslaught of the Entagre army, she didn't want to organize a surprise attack on the Entagre army, just keeping the second line of defense was already very difficult, in such a situation, she had no time and no energy. There is no condition to complete her attack plan, even with the strong assistance of Inheim, who has already entered the state.
But that's not the worst-case scenario. Catherine was confident that the Erathian army would be able to withstand this onslaught of the enemy and then regroup, and Arissanret would not be able to be captured so easily, but. The real bad news is just coming at this time.
Once again, the elves have made a big move.
Two more cities of the Erathian Empire were raided by elven forces.
The hinterland of the Erathian Empire, south of the imperial capital of Standwick, and the famous imperial city of Dunwall.
The city of Dunwall has a very long history, according to historical records, long before the establishment of the Erathian Empire. Dunwall City is already famous on the continent, and before the imperial capital of Standwick City was built, Dunwall City was one of the most prosperous cities in the center of the continent.
Even after the imperial capital of Standwick was built, the densely populated city of Dunwall became the most important commercial city in Standwick by virtue of its outstanding geographical advantages, and countless caravans from north to south converged here every day to trade.
Even the last great war that swept across the continent did not inflict fatal damage on this vibrant city. At the time of the fall of the imperial capital. It was also the preferred refuge place for many imperial nobles because of its prosperity.
In short, this is definitely a lively city, even if the empire is declining, all industries are not thriving, and materials are scarce, there is still a trace of the style of a famous city on the mainland. It is said that in the market in the castle, small-scale business is still carried out on a daily basis - and this is true. Not even Standwick City could do that.
But now, the bustling city of Dunwall is no longer lively.
Houses that were once lined up one after another. Now it has become a piece of ruins still burning with a little demonic fire, the streets that were once full of people are already in shambles, and those Dunwall residents who used to be proud and proud and feel superior to others have naturally become a charred, unrecognizable, distorted, lifeless, pathetic corpse that looks the same on the ruins of the city, and the thick black smoke column from all over the city is like a black, hideous and erratic huge dead tree. Soar into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
After Standwick, Dunwall City became a dead city under the surprise attack of the elven army.
Like attacking Standwick, the elves also used the Doomsday Blade, and I have to say that this magic weapon made by the Krigan people is really powerful, and the damage that Doomsday Judgment magic can cause to any city that is not ready to resist in advance is really terrible, after all, no matter how strong an ordinary house is, it is impossible to be strengthened by various degrees of anti-magic like a military facility, and it is impossible to block the terrible demonic fire that falls from the sky in red and black enough to melt gold, Even if some of the stronger houses were able to resist for a while, under that kind of near-constant attack, after a long time, it was inevitable that they would end up in a sea of fire like other houses.
Another city under attack was the city of Nice, not far from Dunwall, which was not as prosperous as Standwick and Dunwall, and was much smaller in size, but quite densely populated, and was considered a large city with relatively developed economic activities due to its proximity to the imperial capital and Dunwall.
The situation in Nice City can only be said to be more tragic than that of Standwick City and Dunwall City, because the city is an undefended city with no garrison at all, and the elves can easily reduce it to a scorched earth without even the slightest resistance.
But that's not all, Dunwall City is located in the south of Standwick City, Nice City is located in the southwest of Standwick, after the elves attacked Standwick City that night, under the leadership of the half-elf Gru, they quickly attacked Dunwall City with the flying ability of the silver Pegasus, and then, Gru left a large army and led an elite small army, maneuvering at high speed again, moving in a clockwise direction, and brazenly attacked Nice City.
Gru did not deliberately provoke the defenders of Standwick City and the garrison of Dunwall, and the elven army under his command never loved to fight, as long as the blow was successful, they immediately fled, but only used the power of the Doom Blade to attack non-military facilities and personnel in the Elasia Empire.
It is worth mentioning that although the Standwick City was massacred, the elves did not deliberately exterminate the inhabitants of Dunwall City and Nice City, and at Gru's behest, the elves deliberately spared some of the lucky ones and let these humans flee into the wilderness in terror.
"They are the seeds that sow fear!" Gru said.
Gru's goal is clear. That is to make the Erathian Empire bleed, bleed, and bleed. Let the Erathians be terrified, feared, feared, and feared, and he was going to use this method. Drain the last bit of vitality of the Erathian Empire, destroy the last vestiges of confidence in the hearts of the Erathians, and break the last vestiges of the will of the Erathians.
With the current situation, under the strong attack of the powerful Enloth Empire and the Erathia Empire, which was fighting on its back, conventional tactics could not save the doomed defeat of the Elven Kingdom. But Gru is Gru after all, and conventional tactics can't work, so find another way.
The powerful blade of doom, as well as the countless years of existence of the elven kingdom, have been used to the extreme by the talented and ruthless half-elves.
It is a simple and crude, almost frenzied terrorist tactic carried out in the name of the State, but it is quite effective and extremely fast-working.
Jian Chen's Entagri Empire was certainly impossible. There is no way to use such a tactic. But Gru has no scruples, and the elves who are about to be destroyed will not oppose any way that can effectively attack the enemy and save themselves. Of course, Gru said to fight as much as they wanted. Anyway, if it weren't for the efforts of this half-elf. The Elven Kingdom may not exist anymore.
Gru did a great job, even in the process of troop maneuvering, he did not let the elves idle, but let them easily destroy all the villages and towns they encountered along the way, there is a blade of doom, these things are just a gesture for the elves who began to kill the red-eyed, from Standwick to Dunwall City, from Dunwall City to Nice City, the elves burned all the way, with the magic fire that represents death and destruction, burning countless black smoke columns on the plain, and fear and chaos are also spreading throughout this land with the magic fire.
This kind of news, of course, is the worst news for Catherine, who is already anxious, because she understands that compared to the Ntagrean army attacking from the front, the elves' actions will hit the Erathian Empire harder and more dangerous, and if she continues like this, if she doesn't try to stop the elves' actions, and without the Ntagrean army, the empire may be destroyed by the elves first.
The empire, which is close to the end of the world, can't withstand such a toss from the elves.
But what really saddened Catherine, who was devastated by this news, was that she had no time to deal with the surprise attack from the elves at the moment, because right in front of her, in Alexandret, Jian Chen's army of Ntagri was also on the offensive.
If Arissanret were to fall, the blow would be equally fatal to the Erathian Empire, and if the Erathians found that the Empress full of their hopes and their proud army could not resist the advance of the alien armies clamoring for racial equality, their hearts and morale, which had already begun to be restless, would definitely melt away as quickly as snow on a spring day.
Without the hearts and morale of the people, even Catherine could not maintain the survival of such a huge empire in the face of internal and external troubles, after all, she is a human being, not a god, and manpower is always limited many times.
Therefore, Catherine must first get past the current difficulties brought about by the Entagri army before she can be distracted to deal with the menacing elves.
But the Entagre army was so easy to dismiss, and the letter of help sent to Roland was not replied to for a long time, and Catherine's bitter water was nowhere to be poured out, so she could only swallow it in her stomach.
Moreover, the chaotic battle situation, the continuous bad news, and the expectation of Roland's reply also made her judgment of the situation seriously misleading, so that she still cannot perceive the real goal of the Ntagrean army in this battle, so that she cannot perceive the danger that is getting closer and closer to her.
"Can you finish on time?"
Inside Arissanrita, in a seemingly inconspicuous passage, Moriel, the dragon queen with the divine power of a dragon king, frowned and asked a cave man beside her.
"Definitely on time!" The cave man who was questioned by the dragon queen was obviously a little nervous in the face of the queen who was on the front line of the battlefield, but his words revealed a strong confidence, "Thanks to the blessings of the soldiers on the front line, we can break through the enemy's battle line and reach here, at least two percent more than planned!" We will never let the sacrifices of our comrades go to waste! ”
Plenty of manpower means more efficiency, Moriel nodded in satisfaction, but her eyes were always focused on a hole that had been clearly carved out somewhere in the passage.
From the information obtained, Morriel found that she could not complete the full encirclement of the supposed Catherine command center by attacking head-on, so she had to take a detour, first capture another passage near the passage she wanted to capture, and then forcibly dig a road from this nearby passage to enter the passage she originally wanted to capture.
Fortunately, there are cave people in the Entagri Empire, and there are these cave people who can even cross the sea passage, and the time required for such a project is still within her acceptable range.
And now, these projects have also come to an end, and the next step is to storm and then encircle.
After so much hard work and so much effort, whether it can be exchanged for the results it deserves, the answer will be revealed quickly, which makes Morriel a little nervous.
She didn't want to fail, and although she understood that Jian Chen wouldn't blame her for this, she didn't want to disappoint Jian Chen.
She reconfirmed that all the special forces participating in the raid had entered the intended positions, and the offensive of the Erathian army was quite alarming, and she was very worried that some important nodes would be lost at this critical moment and recaptured by the enemy.
But the soldiers in charge of communication confirmed the results after being busy she felt very pleased, all the key nodes are still under the control of the Entagri army, and the elite soldiers and strong generals arranged in these nodes have played their due role, and the enemy obviously has not realized the real importance of these nodes, it seems that the enemy's attention at this time, in several other places that seem to be very important, but in fact have little to do with this operation, was firmly attracted by the crazy offensive of the Entagri army.
Everything was going smoothly as she expected, and Moriel, who didn't know what the elves were doing, was even a little surprised that her plan was going too well, and in her opinion, Catherine really shouldn't have been so careless, so that she couldn't help but wonder if she had chosen the wrong place, and Catherine was not in her direction at all.
But of course, this will not be a reason for her to stop, even if there is only one in ten thousand chances, she will continue the whole plan.
And at this time, on the other side of the continent, on another battlefield, another big war has finally entered the white-hot stage.
(I really want to say something, but I don't know what to say, in short, Childe is still in the hospital and at home at home to continue to toss, my health is not very good, the Spring Festival is a mess, filial piety is difficult to do, filial piety without money is even more difficult to do, thinking about money is almost crazy...... (To be continued.) )
