Chapter 272 Fortress
When he saw the war report for the first time, Rondock was a little unbelievable about the authenticity of the war report. 2,000 to 40,000, they were destroyed, and the enemy would lose less than 1,000 people. Isn't this really a joke? And his troops were all destroyed in one night. Is this a war? He said he couldn't understand it.
Yes, the dwarves cannot understand such wars at all. In the past, if there were tens of thousands of people, it would be normal for a few days and nights to fight. The two sides lined up, confronted, confronted, and fought back and forth, and finally they could decide a victory or defeat. However, the battle that Ye Junwen participated in was not like this at all, because with the blessing of modern weapons, each opening was one-sided, which led to the rapid progress of the war that was unimaginable. Rondock could not accept the troops that were ordered to be sent yesterday, and today he received the news of the total destruction. Can this be played?
However, even if he couldn't believe it, this was the fact. After all, the general of the dwarf commander on the front line escaped, and this guy was really lucky. Such a chaotic army also relied on his own desperate protection to kill him, and he had not suffered any harm. After escaping to a safe place, he of course immediately reported the battle report.
Of course, there are skills in reporting the war report. You can't say that your incompetence caused all your troops to be destroyed, it's a military court. So of course he also needs to shirk responsibility. Therefore, there are two main reasons for the war report. One is that the enemy's weapons are very advanced, beyond their imagination.
He explained in detail the power of the human firearms, which was not exaggerated, it was all true. However, in Rondock's view, this was simply an exaggeration. The continuous fired muskets, cannons with a very long attack distance, and the bullets that can illuminate? What kind of thing is this? Can the human race make such things?
Of course, these things were confirmed by other soldiers who escaped, but Rondock still couldn't believe that this was the fact. He could only suppress it for the time being and then investigate it. What he was even more angry now was another reason for the failure reported by the general, that is, the matter of the elves.
Compared to the battle report that I can't even read, it is obvious that this part is much simpler, which means that in one sentence, the elves betray them. What Rondock is most angry is that this is due to his wrong decision. Yes, someone has already raised the problem of the elves before. However, Rondock feels that the human army is approaching, and the elves should put the overall situation first, and now they should unite to deal with the human race, so he will abandon his past grudges and resolutely send reinforcements to support the elves. However, what he didn't expect was that the people of the elves were still thinking about themselves at this time.
Yes, the reason why the elves betrayed them was actually known. Judging from some information found by the Dwarf envoys, the human race and the elves seemed to have reached a deal, which should be related to the captives of the elves. Therefore, the elves have temporarily ceased to fight with the human race, and the elves have not supported the dwarf troops. However, even if we know the reason, Rondok still cannot forgive the elves. The people of your elves are humans, so we are not dwarfs? We are resisting the invasion of the human race. At this time, you are still selfish and just want to save your own people, and have reached a truce agreement with the human race unilaterally?
If the elves had not had a peace talk with the human race, the human race's troops would not have been able to spare the elves' troops from attacking them. They would have caught them off guard and would not have attacked their troops unscrupulously, and they would not even have to defend the rear. Of course, the elves were responsible for the failure of this battle.
Originally, the relationship between the dwarfs and the elves was not good. Now that this happened, Rondok was so angry that he subconsciously prepared to send troops to attack the elves directly. However, after calming down for a moment, he knew that this was not the time. After all, they were unable to protect themselves now. The loss of the 40,000 army made them feel the crisis. The human race did not seem to be so weak. Can they really stand it after they fight? So the first goal is to protect themselves.
Yes, they can no longer support any elves. Even if Rondock knows that the overall situation is the most important thing now, it should be necessary to support the elves, but their people cannot accept this matter. How can such a pure betrayal betrayal betrayal betrayal be another way?
In short, Rondok also adjusted their tactics very quickly. The army was still gathering, but it would no longer go to the elves' territory. Instead, it directly chose to defend within the country, choose a fortress to station, strengthen the city walls, and wait for the human troops to come by themselves.
The dwarfs are in a mess, but the elves seem to have received good news recently. First, a large army and the main force of the elves met successfully. I have said before that many of the elves are still outside and are rushing back towards the main city. However, before they can come back, the main city is lost. Now some of the returned troops are still looking for the location of their main force, and this army has been found. They have about 15,000 people, and after they meet with the main force of the elves, there are 35,000 people, which makes the people of the elves feel a little relieved. Moreover, this army not only brings personnel, but also has a lot of food and arms, which is simply a timely help.
Not only that, another good news is that they finally agreed to exchange hostages. The first wave of hostages in the main city has been released. Although they were so hungry that they could hardly walk, after seeing these relatives who had thought they would never see again, the soldiers of the Elf tribe were so moved that they almost cried. When they saw them, they felt that what they had done before was worth it.
Of course, since a group of people from the Elf Clan has been released, the people from the Elf Clan are going to release people. Although people from the Elf Clan are also worried that the human race will go back on their word, a deal has been reached. If Ye Junwen is not released at this time, the transaction will break down. They can only believe Ye Junwen for the time being.
"Although I'm not a good person, I can still do what I promised." Ye Junwen said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will put your people back."
"That's good." Yi Erwen is too lazy to talk to Ye Junwen anymore, because she is so popular that she is itchy every time, but she can't attack this guy. She is really popular.
"Of course I've said a lot before, you have to remember them all." Ye Junwen said with a smile, "Do you still remember the two choices of the Elf Clan?"
Of course, Yierwen still remembers that Ye Junwen said that the elves should not destroy the clan or be a dog for him. The meaning of Ye Junwen's previous words to keep his word is certainly included, but these two elves cannot accept it.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you meet on the battlefield next time, it will be your death." Yilwen said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm so scared." Ye Junwen spread his hands, "Please please send me out. I seem to have promised someone before. If I go out of the camp, I must go out openly and ask the queen to send me off. I can't break my promise."
"you……"
"It's okay to let me break my promise, but once I drive this hole, I'm afraid I can't stop the car." Ye Junwen of course threatened naked.
Of course Yi Erwen didn't think about it, but there was no way. Isn't this someone else in Ye Junwen's hands? So soon, Yi Erwen also sent Ye Junwen out of the military camp with a bad face. This time, Ye Junwen did not continue to mess around, and the vacation was over. Ye Junwen went straight back to the city and soon found Edron.
"Marrior, you are finally back." Adelang said happily here. Indeed, Ye Junwen is not here these days, and Adelang also feels that it is not easy to be a marshal. He has to make decisions on anything. Adelang said it is really a headache. He didn't work before, and Ye Junwen decided to finish his work. Now it's really troublesome to push it to him. Fortunately, the marshal is back now, otherwise he would be driven crazy by government affairs.
"Report the situation." Ye Junwen said directly.
"Yes, Marshal." Edron quickly entered the working mode and immediately mentioned the information he received, especially the situation in the Kingdom of Mazdo. Of course, their spies also entered the territory of the Kingdom of Mazdo. Some of the information they have received is probably not going to continue to send troops to the territory of the elves, and began to strengthen the walls of all cities. It seems that they are preparing to fight defensive wars. Their troops are concentrated in the Motili Fortress south of the Kingdom of the Kingdom, which should be considered the most solid fortress in the territory of the Dwarves. There are now 100,000 dwarves troops, which is very difficult to attack. The 20,000 troops should be difficult to capture, and a large army must be dispatched.
"Even with artifacts like cannons, it's a bit difficult for me to capture this strong fortress." Edron said, "We have to pay a lot."
"Is it so strong?" Ye Junwen said, "Can't you get around?"
"Yes, the location of that fortress is really great. If you want to enter the hinterland of the dwarves, you must pass through this fortress, otherwise the detour will be too far away." Edron replied, "Please look at the map."
Ye Junwen looked at it and found that it was true. This fortress is indeed impossible to avoid, otherwise it would be possible to reach it by crossing mountains and ridges. From this point of view, one can only capture this fortress.
"The loss will be huge... If that's the case, we won't lose our troops." Ye Junwen said, "Let our allies come."
"Alliance?" Edron was a little stunned. They had allies? Where did they come from?
