Chapter 279 The Main Force Suffered a Setback (3rd Update)

After the vanguard of the Severn Kingdom was destroyed and the night elves' troops fighting out of the city had returned to the Brak Fortress, the messenger who did not wait until the death of the vanguard came to this place with the order of Severn IX.

However, the messenger could not find the target of his order. All he could see was a mess of meat and broken limbs. Various mutton kebab-style deaths, coke-style deaths, minced meat-style deaths and waist-cutting deaths made this soldier who had also experienced some war scenes almost vomit.

Next, he returned the way he came with a panicked look on his face. The vanguard officer really wanted to take the lead. He relied on the strength of the vanguard troops to generally be better than other troops and carried out a rapid march, leaving other troops too far behind.

It was so far away that when the vanguard was eliminated, the following Severn Kingdom army did not notice it. It was not until the messenger came back that everyone knew that the 100,000 vanguard had been destroyed in just half a magic hour.

This messenger is also lucky. Although the hippogryph knight flying high in the sky discovered him, Yu Fei originally wanted to convey the situation here to the troops behind the Severn Kingdom to see their reaction. Therefore, the messenger was not turned into the same corpse on the ground by the hippogryph knight.

Everyone who heard the news of the destruction of the vanguard, including King Severn IX, felt heavy, and the commanders of each branch of the army cursed the vanguard officer in their hearts. The elite soldiers of the vanguard were drawn from these branches, but now they are all gone.

Sitting in a luxurious royal chariot pulled by four dragon camels, Severn IX said with a worried look to the white-bearded old man sitting on the other side of the chariot: "Master Pollini, it looks like The so-called night elves who occupied Brak Fortress were really strong. Our elite 100,000 vanguard troops were wiped out so easily. "

Sighing, King Severn IX said depressedly: "I suddenly have an ominous premonition. Could it be that my Kingdom of Severn will be destroyed in the hands of the night elves?"

The white-bearded old man, the Master Pollini in the mouth of Severn IX, smiled slightly. "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty will use all the strength of the country to lead the expedition in person, and there will definitely be a good result. What's more, since Your Majesty asked me to accompany the army, he naturally wants to do it when necessary."

Blinking at Severn IX, Master Pollini continued: "Of course he wants me to lead the royal mage group to use that move when necessary. In this case, there will definitely be no problem. "

Severn IX was also refreshed when he heard Master Pollini's relief. "Yes, if it doesn't work, we will use that move. Although it will destroy the Brak Fortress, if we win this battle, there will be no need for the Brak Fortress to exist."

As he spoke, Severn IX had already fallen into the fantasy of defeating the night elves and then using the power of victory to invade the small countries in the west to fulfill his previous ambition. Master Pollini closed his eyes silently and meditated, and the king's chariot became quiet for a while.

But after a while, Severn IX recovered from his reverie and called the guards waiting outside the carriage to convey his orders.

Severn IX's strategy was the stupidest but also the most effective. With the huge number of troops assembled, Severn IX was prepared to sacrifice the lives of some soldiers in an attempt to capture the Brac Fortress.

No matter how powerful the night elves' long-range troops are, and no matter how far they shoot, I don't believe they can't handle it with an army of one million people. Even if a million pigs stand there and let the enemy shoot them, they probably won’t be able to kill them even if they are soft-handed, right? With the night elves currently numbering less than 30,000 in Brak Fortress, even though the vanguard has been destroyed, Severn IX still did not take the enemy seriously.

What he was struggling with at the moment was whether or not he should use "that move". Use it, it's a pity that a good fortress disappeared like this. If not, a large number of Severn Kingdom's troops would probably die.

After weighing several times, Severn IX finally made up his mind. The kingdom and army are the guarantee of the kingdom's strength and cannot be consumed too much in battles with foreign races. Just the destruction of one hundred thousand vanguard troops made Severn IX feel doubly distressed.

Without a strong enough and sufficient army, even if the night elves are eliminated, other countries that have been eyeing them with eager eyes may immediately show their claws. Severn IX made up his mind to try attacking with conventional methods first. If it really doesn't work, in order to avoid too many losses to the soldiers, you have to use "that move" if you have no choice! A ruthless look appeared on Severn IX's face.

Although the generals and nobles did not deal with each other, they still obeyed the orders of Severn IX, who was driving the army personally. The faster troops slow down and the slower troops speed up. The various troops traveling in different directions arrived in front of Brak Fortress at almost the same time.

From a distance, everyone saw those disgusting corpses. Some of the new recruits, the private soldiers of the nobles, and the children of the nobles who had never seen so many corpses and tragic deaths all vomited out.

After a little testing, the troops at the front speculated that the attack distance of the night elves' long-range troops was generally between 500 and 600 meters. And this is actually not accurate. After equipping enchanted equipment and upgrading, even elite night elf archers have a shooting range of up to 750 meters.

The current estimated range of the Severn Kingdom's army is just data deliberately given by Tyrande in order to paralyze them. When the battle begins, these erroneous data will definitely give humans a surprise.

Those who speculated on the range of the night elves' long-range troops did not doubt their own judgment. Because the range of five or six hundred meters seemed incredible to them, they did not think whether this was a conspiracy deliberately set up by the enemy.

As the number of troops arriving gradually increased, the scene outside the Brak Fortress became more and more spectacular. When there are ten thousand people, there is no end to the world, and when there are one hundred thousand people, the sea is connected to the sky. So what about the million-strong army? Well, you can only see a sea of ​​people.

And this sea of ​​people is composed of soldiers, so the murderous aura exuded is also extremely huge. If someone practices the killing intention wave fist among them, they will definitely make rapid progress. Uh, I'm getting off topic. Let's take a look at the next move of the Severn Kingdom troops.

For the attack on the Brak Fortress, the Severn Kingdom has made relatively sufficient preparations. Catapults, tower cars and so on are all available. As for battering rams and so on, Eslazer did not have them. Because the battering rams pushed by ordinary soldiers hitting the city gate are not as effective as the blows of a strong man.

However, the catapults are definitely useless here. Before they are pushed into the range of their own catapults, these huge machines will probably be smashed to pieces by the stones in the city with a particularly long attack distance. Perhaps, the tower cars can still play a role.

Batches of soldiers entered hundreds of tower cars, and more soldiers followed behind the tower cars to advance towards the Brak Fortress as a cover.

The tower cars used by the human world of Eslazer in the war do not require manpower to push like the tower cars that appeared in the history of the earth. Although a few people do need to provide kinetic energy in the tower car through pedals and the like, this tower car is actually driven by magic.

A tower car engraved with light body skills only needs more than ten people to step on it to move at a speed of less than 100. And this tower car can accommodate hundreds of people, and there will be more people following behind to use it as a cover.

For this wave of tests, the Kingdom of Severn invested 500 tower cars and 300,000 soldiers. Everyone was nervously observing the situation of these tower cars and soldiers, and those in the back were anxiously waiting for news.

However, as time went by, the tower cars and the soldiers behind them were getting closer and closer to the Brak Fortress, but there was no response from the Brak Fortress. Could it be that the night elves had no way to deal with the tower cars? Impossible, those boulders that could be thrown far away were enough to threaten the tower cars.

It was not until the tower cars and the troops following them advanced to only 300 meters away from the Brak Fortress that the Brak Fortress finally began to fight back.

There was no segmented attack, and 500 ancient guards and 1,000 (Avril brought 200 new) mountain giants threw boulders at the same time. The division of labor was very clear, and three boulders were aimed at one tower car. The accuracy of the night elf units was unquestionable.

"Boom-" "Crack-" The sound of collisions, the sound of wood breaking and collapse sounded alternately, which also indicated that the attack of the Kingdom of Severn was indeed not threatening.

After the tower cars collapsed one after another, all the soldiers turned around and fled directly according to the previous order. However, although they reacted quickly, the night elves put the enemy so close to the Brak Fortress, naturally in order to kill more of them.

In the end, under the continuous arrows, boulders and javelins, only about 100,000 of the 300,000 troops successfully escaped the death line of several hundred meters. And the 500 tower cars, naturally all turned into wreckage and lay there, forming a beautiful picture with the corpses all over the ground.

Severn IX was furious. He had overestimated the long-range power of the night elves, but he didn't expect that such a cautious test would cause the troops to lose one-seventh at once! This one-seventh is equivalent to about one-tenth of the troops in the entire Severn Kingdom.

Those night elves are too insidious! Putting our troops so close before launching an attack, causing the fleeing soldiers to endure more arrow rain. And the range of 500 to 600 meters tested before was actually false, causing the troops to lose so much more!

But the night elves are really strong in long-range strength. If it doesn't work, don't blame me for using "that trick". Severn IX made up his mind.
