Chapter 241 Chapter 240 Powerless Resistance

Illidan's obstruction was unexpected but reasonable. The Duchy of West had a total of twelve cities. Illidan had previously conquered eleven cities of the Duchy of West with great force, leaving only the capital of the Duchy, Hartlepool.

And just outside Hartlepool, the march of the night elf team led by Illidan was curbed. Because of the lack of numbers and the inability to completely block the news, after conquering several cities, the invasion of the night elves, or the Amazons, which was ostensibly a cover, had been known to all the surrounding human countries.

The rulers of the cities in the Duchy of West were no exception and all learned the news. After these rulers realized that this suddenly appearing alien team was not something they could resist, Illidan did not encounter any decent resistance in the other cities he attacked after conquering three cities.

This does not mean that the rulers in those cities surrendered to the night elves in a timely manner, but that they all made a "strategic transfer". As for the destination of the transfer, it is Hartlepool, the largest and most well-defended city in the Duchy of West.

At this time, outside Hartlepool, 80% of the military power of the Duchy of West is concentrated. Including the four major legions of the Duchy of West, and the garrisons in each city except the four cities such as Maier City are concentrated here.

Although it is only a duchy, the current Grand Duke of West is an ambitious grand duke. Since taking office more than ten years ago, the seventh Grand Duke of the Duchy of West has worked hard to govern and actively build the army. He is a typical hawk.

It is precisely because of this that the military strength of the Duchy of West is second to none among the nearby human small countries. With the four major legions and the garrisons of each city, the Duchy of West has nearly 20,000 standing troops. This is a very amazing number for a duchy with a population of only more than one million.

In a feudal society with low productivity, the ratio of standing troops to civilians reached 1:50, which is indeed a relatively high ratio. Therefore, what Illidan is facing now is more than 15,000 human soldiers.

It's time to show real skills! No! It should be. It's time to show real strength! Although he only led about a thousand troops, Illidan did not take the 15,000 soldiers gathered by the Principality of Wester into consideration.

But the ruler of the Principality of Wester obviously didn't think so. Outside the city of Hartlepool, 15,000 human soldiers had surrounded the team led by Illidan, and the swords and arrows flashing with cold light had been aimed at the night elves, who seemed to be quite scarce in number compared to the human army.

Illidan was also careless - or he didn't care at all, and plunged into the encirclement of the human army. He didn't expect that these humans would give up the advantage of defending the city and dare to fight a field battle with the night elves outside the city. Do they think that the suppression of numbers can make up for the gap in strength?

In fact, Illidan was thinking wrongly. Although the night elves have been advancing with great momentum, the current Grand Duke of the Principality of West is a person who is more inclined to centralization. After more than ten years of operation, the strength of the nobles in the cities of the Principality of West has been greatly weakened.

So in the eyes of Grand Duke West, the night elf troops are just bullying the city guards of the cities in the Principality because they are too weak, and they are not very strong themselves. And facing this "not very strong" invader, the always strong current Grand Duke of West will naturally not make a "cowardly" move of defending the city.

And the current Grand Duke of West looks complacent. In the eyes of this Grand Duke who has been implementing the policy of **** since he came to power more than ten years ago, these invaders who are not very strong are obviously unable to make any waves after being surrounded by his army that is more than ten times the number of enemies.

This Grand Duke, who is very confident in his own strength, has begun to calculate in his mind how to seize more power in this incident. Perhaps, he can also seize some territory from other small countries around him in the name of expelling foreign races?

Grand Duke West, who was lost in his beautiful imagination of the future, did not notice that among the surrounded aliens, a beautiful night elf had already stared at him with a cold gaze.

This night elf was Avril, who had conquered the Principality of West with Illidan. Originally, Avril had always been with Tyrande, but now the night elves had to leave a horned eagle knight as an overseer every time they occupied a city. The Principality of West was one of the two strongest small countries in the surrounding area. After it was conquered, a higher-ranking overseer was naturally needed.

Avril was in the team led by Illidan just to serve as an overseer after the Principality of West was conquered. But this did not mean that Avril would not participate in the battle. In the few previous battles, Avril almost always killed the leader of the opponent with her excellent archery skills before the battle began.

And this time, the Grand Duke of West, who was surrounded by people and dressed gorgeously, naturally became Avril's target. Concentrating and calming down, Avril slowly drew the bow in her hand.

"Swish!——" An arrow flashing with deep blue light seemed to have crossed the distance of time and space in the astonished eyes of countless people, and fiercely penetrated into the body of Grand Duke West, who was as dazzling as the sun in the crowd.

Then, this arrow that even the legendary swordsman who served as a sacrifice beside Grand Duke West could not react to did not bring a trace of blood on Grand Duke West, but

"Bang!!" Grand Duke West's body exploded and exploded into a ball of blood mist. Being in a high position, Grand Duke West's body was naturally not very strong, so under Avril's powerful arrow, he could only die in this horrible way.

Tsk tsk tsk, Avril is too violent, killing a person is so aesthetically pleasing, just shooting the person into pieces. Yu Fei's huge mental power allowed him to see the surprise, unwillingness and other emotions revealed in Grand Duke West's eyes before his death. This made him sigh a little, it's really a pity that the emperor's hegemony is in vain, and the hero is defeated - in the future, I don't know how many such unfulfilled human emperors will die at his hands.

At this time, while the human soldiers were shocked by the sudden death of Grand Duke Wester, Illidan led his troops to launch a counterattack against the human army that surrounded them.
