Chapter 366 Guerrilla Warfare?

Although he is 120 years old, Marshal Spindu is still in his prime compared to the life span of epic warriors. He is already a famous general on the continent. In addition to wanting to protect his country, he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fight against the Dark Night Empire army to further his fame.

The intelligence system of the Holy Lion Empire is still good. Although Illidan divided his troops to attack several cities, the number of the Dark Night Empire's invading troops this time was still clearly found out. After all, they were beaten into the country. If the number of enemies cannot be found out, how can the Holy Lion Empire survive on the continent?

With three times the number of elite soldiers as the enemy and the home advantage, Spindu, the leader, did not mean to despise the night elves. Before reaching the place where the night elf troops were wreaking havoc, Spindu ordered to increase the number of scouts and make sure to find out the traces of the enemy within 50 kilometers of the troops.

Although it was on his own land, Spindu did not think that the night elves would not set an ambush. Illidan originally wanted to take advantage of the Holy Lion Empire's counterattack troops rushing to the enemy's territory and attack them by surprise.

However, after the Storm Crows of the Raptor Druids found out that the 200,000 human troops led by Marshal Spender were so cautious, they gave up the idea of ​​an ambush. After all, it was in the enemy's territory, and it would be bad if an ambush failed and turned into a counter-ambush.

However, although Spender sent a large number of scouts to find the traces of the night elves, he still failed to find the troops that Illidan had assembled. Since the 200,000 elite guards entered the western part of the Holy Lion Empire, the night elf troops abandoned the occupied cities and disappeared in this area.

Of course, before evacuating these cities, the magic crystals, magic cores and most of the valuables of the nobles in the city had been looted by the night elves. This time, Yu Fei specially collected a large number of space rings and gave them to Illidan to store the spoils of war.

Marshal Spindu led 200,000 elite guardsmen to almost go around the western part of the Holy Lion Empire, but he could not find even one trace of the night elves. It was as if the night elves had never invaded the empire before.

No, this is impossible! Sitting in the general's tent, Marshal Spindu frowned and pondered what went wrong.

The army of the Dark Night Empire must still be somewhere in the western part of the empire. The fact that the 200,000 guardsmen did not find it does not mean that others did not find it. It is always far away from the troops that someone reported that they had found traces of the night elves.

However, when the human army rushed there at a rapid march, there was no trace of the night elves. It was as if the night elves could fully predict the route of action of the 200,000 guardsmen. The local advantage of the Holy Lion Empire was completely not reflected.

Could it be that there were traitors in the army who kept contacting the enemy and revealed the marching search route? This is impossible. Even magic communication will have slight fluctuations, and the mage group accompanying the army cannot fail to find it.

As for the fact that his army had been monitored by the night elves, Spindu briefly had this idea, but then rejected it. He had sent scouts 50 kilometers away from the troops. The night elves could only monitor the position of the troops by magic, but the mages in the army would definitely find it.

After rejecting various possibilities, the famous mainland general Spindu also fell into confusion. Whether it was the wars he had experienced or the war cases he learned from the history of military tactics, he could not find a similar situation.

How could you fight on your own land and not find the enemy who invaded your country? Spindu sometimes wondered if this was the territory of the Dark Night Empire? The party with the home advantage became blind, but the invaders seemed to be able to avoid their front as if they could predict the future.

Marshal Spindu's mistake was that he trusted the magicians too much. It's not that there are traitors among the magicians, but the reconnaissance methods of the night elves are simply difficult for ordinary magicians of Eslazer to find.

Not to mention the Storm Crows' reconnaissance in the sky, Illidan rarely lets the Raptor Druids transform to complete reconnaissance missions. It's not that it's not useful, but the night elves have a better way.

Illidan led 20,000 female hunters, and the 20,000 female hunters were at least elite level. Each female hunter can cast an owl spirit that is attached to a tree. This owl spirit cannot be destroyed and is difficult to be found. Unless the tree is cut down, the owl spirit will always exist, allowing the night elves to have a vision of the surroundings.

20,000 female hunters are 20,000 owl spirits. These 20,000 owl spirits that can obtain a large field of vision around the place of existence are distributed in various places in the west of the Holy Lion Empire. The every move of the 200,000 imperial guards led by Marshal Spender is monitored by the owl spirits scattered everywhere.

These owl spirits are not the detection magic of the Eslaze continent, but the unique skills of the night elves, so they will not be discovered by ordinary magicians. Therefore, the local combat troops are not as well-informed as the invading forces.

Let's talk about Illidan. Relying on the detection effect of the owl spirits, the night elves played hide-and-seek with the Spender Legion. It's not that Illidan is afraid of fighting, he just doesn't trust the enemy's strength.

In every previous battle, the night elves had fought against enemies ten times their size, and they had always won easily. This time, they had fought to the gates of the Holy Lion Empire, but they only sent 200,000 troops to fight. This made Illidan feel that there must be something fishy going on.

It took three days for Illidan to finally understand the strength of the Spender Legion. This also made Illidan a little angry - he was still too cautious.

The 200,000 imperial guards should be considered a very strong force in the eyes of humans. The average strength has entered the bronze level, and there are a large number of accompanying mages and famous generals on the continent. This is probably why the Holy Lion Empire is confident that it can resist the night elf troops. After all, only the three major empires in the entire human world can produce such an army.

However, this is not enough in front of the night elves. The average strength has just entered the bronze level? This is the strength of ordinary archers and huntresses in the night elves. You must know that the evolved war ancients do not train these two ordinary-level soldiers at all.

In other words, the so-called elites of the Holy Lion Empire are actually considered eliminated in the Night Elves.

Even if the number is three times that of his own, Illidan has great confidence in taking down these 200,000 enemies with minimal losses. However, after fully understanding the strength of the Spindu Legion, Illidan had other ideas.

For a period of time afterwards, poor Marshal Spindu still led his troops to wander around the vast western part of the empire. There were constant reports from cities, adventurers, and even caravans on the road that they had found traces of the Night Elves, but the troops could not find the tail of the enemy.

Sometimes, there were even reports of the discovery of Night Elves from several places at the same time, which made Marshal Spindu very speechless.

Faced with this situation, he did not dare to divide his troops. According to intelligence, the Dark Night Empire army is known for its strong individual strength. If the troops are divided, they will definitely be defeated one by one. It is safer to gather 200,000 troops together and be able to touch the enemy.

After being led by the nose for a long time, Marshal Spindu finally thought of a solution that was not a solution. Anyway, we can only follow the enemy and eat dust, and make our subordinates exhausted, so we might as well stay the same in the face of change.

Under the order of Marshal Spindu, the 200,000 elite imperial guards chose Inno Pass as their base and stopped looking for traces of the night elves.

Marshal Spindu also figured it out. Anyway, the purpose of being sent here is to delay time for the empire to gather more troops to wipe out the invasion troops of the Dark Night Empire in one fell swoop. Isn't it better for the enemy to play hide-and-seek like this? Before, Spindu just wanted to make another contribution, and now that he figured it out, he settled down.

But what he didn't expect was that while his troops settled down, the invasion troops of the Dark Night Empire jumped up again.

After Spindu led the army to advance into the western part of the empire, the families in various cities in the west breathed a sigh of relief, and the supplies looted by the night elves were gradually replenished from other places.

Especially the Empire. The army had been plowing the land for three feet, but the enemies of the Dark Night Empire had not appeared, making everyone think that the enemy was afraid of the troops of the famous general Spindu. As a result, the nobles and merchants in the western cities began to restore their property and supplies with confidence.

Who would have thought that after Spindu's troops were stationed, the army of the night elves appeared again. The supplies that had just been replenished were looted by Illidan again. What's annoying is that when the night elves left, they left countless eyes looking at the fat sheep, as if they were ready to harvest the "wool" in the future.

After receiving the news from the western cities, Spindu was also dumbfounded. Is this general of the Dark Night Empire too wretched? Is this the rhythm of a guerrilla war? Really taking the cities in the west of the empire as fat sheep to rob!

Helpless or helpless, Spindu really couldn't do anything with the night elf troops. How to fight if you can't find the enemy? Information asymmetry!

In the end, Spindu could only ask the nobles and merchants in the west not to restore their assets for the time being, and to hold the invasion troops of the Dark Night Empire to the west of Inno Pass.

If the Dark Night Empire's army wanted to go deep into the Holy Lion Empire to cause riots and exert pressure, Inno Pass was a must. Spindu believed that he could hold the enemy to the west of the empire with 200,000 imperial troops stationed here until more imperial troops arrived.
