Chapter 283 The End of the Kingdom

The demoralized human troops all turned their backs to the night elves. Although almost everyone knew that the night elves were very fast and their attack range was generally very long; but now they did not need to run faster than the night elves, they just needed to be faster than most of the friendly troops.

No, they could no longer be called friendly troops. The more than one million troops gathered by the Kingdom of Severn had only one leader, Severn IX, in name, and the status of the nobles or marshals under this leader was almost equal.

Now that the leader was dead, the nominal supreme commander was gone, and the various troops immediately became independent. After all, everyone had the same status, and no one was willing to obey the command of others. In the absence of a unified voice, facing the pursuit of the "extremely vicious" night elves, the degree of chaos among the humans can be imagined.

Not only that, the inherent bad nature of humans made some people not forget to fight among themselves even when they were escaping. As mentioned earlier, these nobles, ministers and officers who gathered together often had hatreds with each other. Before, Severn IX could still suppress the conflict with his status, but now that Severn IX is dead, these people have nothing to worry about.

If it were normal times, they might still worry about doing something that would affect their reputation, but now it is a great opportunity for those narrow-minded nobles. First of all, they are already in a state of war with foreign races, and the death of people can be easily blamed on the night elves; secondly, everyone is running away now, and they can't blame others if they are caught up.

Many nobles, while wishing their parents would give them more legs, are actually trying to frame their enemies. After seeing their enemies, some nobles walked in front of their troops without making a sound. Then when the enemy's troops passed the place where they had escaped before, they would always encounter some small obstacles.

For example, the inconspicuous tripwires and the small pits dug on the ground to break the horse's legs. Although these small tricks will not cause any major casualties, they are very deadly in this situation.

Everyone is scrambling to escape, and no one will care if you slow down. As waves of soldiers passed by, these troops that had been tricked by others soon became the last troops. And being at the back meant facing the night elves.

The night elves certainly did not pity these humans who were left at the back. All the arrow rain, moon blades, javelins and even magic were aimed at these humans at the back of the team. Although the extremely high mobility allowed the huntress troops, dryad troops and hippogryph knight troops to go around in front of these fleeing humans to intercept them, Illidan did not order the night elves to do so.

As the highest military commander of the night elves, Illidan was not stupid. He knew that if these humans were really not given any hope of survival, the desperate return attack of the million-strong army would definitely cause great losses to the night elves.

On the contrary, if they just blindly pursued the human troops that fell at the back during the enemy's escape, it would not only be safe for the night elves but also have a good killing effect. Without obstacles ahead, people who can see the hope of life will not have the courage to turn back and fight back.

In this way, on the road of human beings' weak escape and even dragging each other down, the night elves chased the fleeing army of more than one million people of the Kingdom of Severn from the westernmost part of the Kingdom of Severn before the Brack Fortress to the central part of the Kingdom of Severn before stopping.

The reason why the night elves stopped was that as the pursuit deepened, many noble private armies in the Kingdom of Severn's army group returned to their own territories.

At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Severn that was chased by the night elves, which had a number of more than one million, had only more than 200,000 left. The missing ones, except for more than 100,000 who returned to their own territories safely, the night elves were too lazy to abandon the enemy in front and stop to attack; the rest had died in the hands of the night elves.

Originally, Yu Fei did not want to kill so many people, but before that, the night elves killed the first 300,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Severn, and also killed more than 400,000 scattered when fighting with the assembled army of the Kingdom of Severn. Although these soldiers are weak, the experience they provide to the night elves cannot be underestimated due to their large number.

Originally, among the night elves trained recently, archers and huntresses were only elite level, and other soldiers that can only be trained in the Ancient Tree stage were only ordinary level. However, under the huge experience provided by hundreds of thousands of human soldiers, archers have almost all transformed into wind archers and lightning archers; most of the huntresses have also reached the elite level.

As for mountain giants, druids and other soldiers, because they need more experience to upgrade, although they have killed many human soldiers, they have only maintained the level of general elite level.

However, Yu Fei is very satisfied with this. The strength of each level of the night elf soldiers is completely different. To reach the general elite level, you can only gain so much experience in such a million-level meeting (slaughter) battle (killing).

Yu Fei, who has tasted the sweetness, acquiesced to Illidan's idea of ​​chasing to the end in order to allow the night elves under his command to upgrade and advance. Apart from experience, Yu Fei is obsessed with the soul crystals that can be "exploded" by those strong people!

During the pursuit of the night elves, many nobles who fell behind tried to surrender. Like the previous practice of the night elves, they were released after paying the ransom. But this time the night elves did not accept surrender.

First of all, the night elves did not have so many people to guard the surrendered guys; secondly, these human soldiers were now naked experience in the eyes of the night elves, and no night elf was willing to give up. Finally, pay the ransom to redeem yourself? What to pay?

The Kingdom of Sevin can be said to have belonged to the night elves. All the private property of the nobles, the magic cores, magic crystals and gold needed by the night elves, will be seized by the night elves. In Yu Fei's eyes, all the resources of the Kingdom of Sevin now belong to the night elves. Take our things to redeem yourself in our hands? The night elves are not fools!

Finally, the pursuit of the night elves came to an end after two days and two nights. It was not because of anything else, but that the night elves had already chased to the capital of the Kingdom of Sevin.

Part of the army that fled into the capital activated the capital's defense system, and the Severn Kingdom's Bannier Defense System (Severn System for short), including ten mage towers, was activated.

However, the defense system was operated by only some mages who could barely maintain the operation of the mage towers and were left behind by Severn IX during the previous expedition. The other high-ranking mages were taken by Severn IX to attack the night elves.

Unfortunately, these mages were no longer in the troops that fled back to the capital of the Severn Kingdom. Yu Fei would never let go of these guys who could provide soul crystals. The entire royal mage group, including the great mage Pollini, had died at the hands of the night elves.

The Severn Kingdom, whose defense system could not be fully operational, did not last long in front of the well-equipped night elf troops. Hundreds of elite glaive throwers all have the skill of charging blades that can greatly increase attack power by charging.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of powerful sword blades that were specially designed for buildings, the defense system of the Kingdom of Severn was quickly broken. With the entry of the night elf troops into the capital of Severn, the Kingdom of Severn could be declared extinct in a certain sense.

The king died in battle and the capital was occupied. Although the night elves had not yet come to kill them, the nobles from all over the kingdom already knew that the end was approaching. They also became exiled nobles the moment the capital was occupied.

Putting aside how the night elves would capture all parts of the Kingdom of Severn and establish a puppet regime, Yu Fei is now calculating the benefits of this war.

The plan to capture the Kingdom of Severn can be considered a success. The territory of the Kingdom of Severn is larger than the combined area of ​​the small countries occupied by the night elves before, and it is much more fertile. In addition to the magic cores and magic crystals obtained by clearing out the nobles, the Kingdom of Severn also has a large number of magic crystal veins that have not yet been collected.

It can be said that just by conquering the Kingdom of Sevin, the Night Elves will no longer have to worry about energy issues in a short period of time. Now, what restricts the Night Elves from raising troops is wood resources. Although Yu Fei has created a large number of elves to collect wood, it is still not enough.

After all, elves also account for the population, and providing population requires the construction of moon wells. At the same time, in order to ensure the utilization rate of resources, buildings for training soldiers such as war ancient trees are also being expanded and constructed. The construction of buildings such as moon wells also requires a large amount of wood. This is closely linked, and it is not like energy that can be solved by a large amount of plunder in a short period of time.

In addition to energy, another gain that Yu Fei is interested in is soul crystals. After solving many powerful people in the Kingdom of Sevin, Yu Fei now has a lot of soul crystals in his hands. Apart from other things, only the great wizard Polini provided an intermediate soul crystal.

Others, by killing legendary powerhouses or fusing secondary soul crystals, Yu Fei now has a total of 17 lower-level soul crystals and one intermediate soul crystal.
