www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness, illuminated the earth, and brought the dawn of a new day, the battle outside Augus City also ended completely.
Flocks of crows hovered over the battlefield, making an unpleasant "hoarse" sound. The open battlefield had been soaked in black and red with blood.
Discarded tattered armor and incomplete weapons were scattered everywhere, and from time to time you could see overturned siege engines and siege towers that were still burning.
Ghastly corpses can be seen everywhere, densely packed, but quite a few of them have had their equipment stripped off.
The tattered noble flags were either stuck sideways on the ground, or had been trampled to pieces, or like the burning siege equipment, they were slowly reduced to ashes in the flames.
Above the war, tall figures were busy in a hurry, either picking up the equipment that was still intact on the ground, or picking it off from the miserable corpses without bothering or disgusting them. Armor weapons.
Those are the elf players participating in the war.
Most of their equipment was scarred and stained with blood, and many of them even lost their Warcraft mounts in this battle.
However, they finally won this battle.
The entire battle lasted for a day and a night, and the outcome of the battle was not in any doubt.
Even though the Northern Army of the Empire formed a massive army of 700,000 men, many days of continuous attacks and internal strife had already exhausted the entire army and its cohesion had fallen to the bottom.
Facing the charge of the elven cavalry, they were unable to organize any effective resistance...
The most direct result was that the 700,000-strong army was directly overwhelmed by the player's ranger troops, which were like gods descending from heaven.
A spectacular rout took place on the entire battlefield outside Augus City.
The most ironic thing is that in the 700,000-strong army, quite a few noble soldiers were not killed by the players, but fell and trampled to death by their own people in the chaotic rout.
This is also the main source of corpses on the entire battlefield.
Except for some nobles who reluctantly organized private soldiers to break through the siege and escape in embarrassment, nearly 70% of the coalition forces were completely destroyed in this vast land in one day and one night...
Arthur, the garrison commander of Augus City, stood on the hillside and looked at the vast battlefield. His expression was full of shock, and besides the shock, there was also a sense of illusion like a dream.
He never expected that a total of 700,000 imperial coalition forces would be destroyed in such a way.
Yes, destruction.
Seventy percent of the army was killed on the spot, and the remaining legions collapsed completely. This was enough to be called the annihilation of the entire army.
And all of this was accomplished by the Elf Chosen Ones in an almost miraculous way.
He felt that he might never forget the spectacular elven cavalry charge a day and night ago.
He could no longer imagine that there was any army in the world that was more powerful than the Elf Chosen Ones.
"How about it, Mr. Arthur, how does it feel to win?"
A familiar voice sounded behind him, with a slight smile.
Arthur turned around and saw All-Star Dumb standing behind him, playing with an exquisite weapon that was obviously a noble command sword in his hand.
Arthur was stunned and sighed:
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."
"Didn't you expect we could win so quickly?"
All-Star Dumb asked back.
Arthur nodded and said somewhat dazedly:
"Yes, I thought we were going to fight a very difficult war, but I didn't expect victory to come so suddenly..."
"Hahaha, it's because we are lucky, but it's also because the Imperial Army is too stretched. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so easy to fight."
All-star Dumb laughed.
The two chatted for a few words, and Arthur asked again:
"By the way, are the fleeing imperial nobles still pursuing us? Duke Rosen and Earl Meath seem to have escaped."
"No need."
All-star Dumb shook his head.
As he spoke, he smiled:
"Don't worry, they can't escape."
……
The western border.
A group of broken troops consisting of hundreds of embarrassed noble knights were stumbling away towards the north.
Most of them have lost their weapons and are in a miserable state, with expressions full of fear and confusion.
Duke Joseph of Rosen and Earl of Meath were among them. They were being carried away by their own guards, with disheveled hair and pale faces.
Joseph no longer had the high spirits he had a few days ago.
His face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were dull and desperate.
Before the war started, there were 700,000 troops.
Now, only these hundreds of people are left who followed him to escape.
Among them, there are less than 200 people who actually belong to their Rosen family.
And the other tens of thousands of defeated troops have long fled to unknown places...
A miserable failure...
A naked and naked fiasco!
In just two days, the coalition formed by nobles of all sizes in the entire western part of the empire retreated in such a funny way.
Joseph didn’t even dare to think about what this result would bring...
He only knew that he was finished.
Such a huge loss will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Imperial Parliament.
What’s more serious, the Rosen family may even be deprived of their title of elector.
This battle was a huge blow to the Rosen family.
The army that was finally built up after the last family annihilation was once again reduced to nothing.
They may not be able to organize enough strength to fight against the Imperial Parliament for a long time.
Painful.
The price... is too heavy!
As he thought about it, Joseph couldn't help but feel sad and started to cry.
As a duke, he cried bitterly, and the nobles and guards who followed him couldn't hold back anymore, and the sounds of crying gradually started one after another in the team.
It wasn't until he cried until his voice became hoarse that Joseph suddenly raised his head and looked angrily at the dejected Earl of Meath on the other side:
"It's you! It's all you idiot! If it weren't for your stupidity, how could we have been so defeated?!"
Hearing Joseph's scolding, other nobles also cast angry and resentful looks at Count Meath.
Feeling the vicious gazes piercing his body, Earl Meath turned his eyes numbly.
He remained silent, but the hand holding the broken sword trembled even more.
"Think better, at least... we have all escaped, and as long as we escape, we can continue to recruit new troops and fight back..."
A nobleman sighed and said.
As soon as these words came out, many dejected nobles also cheered up and began to think about how to save their families after the defeat in order to minimize the losses to their families...
However, at this moment, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.
"Dragon?"
Some of the defeated soldiers raised their heads and looked towards the sky like frightened birds.
I saw a majestic dragon circling in the sky, and a tall figure could be vaguely seen on the dragon's back.
Seeing that familiar look, the nobles and defeated soldiers all changed their expressions and looked pale.
The previous battles had left a deep psychological shadow on the elves.
"No! It's the Elf Dragon Knight!"
"They saw us!"
"Run! Run away!"
Suddenly, the defeated team fell into a great panic and instantly accelerated their escape.
However, before they could escape too far, the familiar sound of iron hoofbeats came from all directions, and along with the billowing dust, the elf cavalry that terrified every noble and soldier appeared in their sights again. inside.
This time, the elves came not from the rear, but from the front.
They are wandering in the western territory and have not participated in the battle. They are responsible for hunting down the defeated player troops.
Soon, the defeated noble team was surrounded, and spears were placed on their necks.
A player who was obviously the legion commander got off his dragon scale horse and walked out of the crowd.
He looked at the earth-colored Joseph, and then at the empty-eyed Earl of Meath, and after comparing them with the screenshots of the portraits sent out on the battlefield channel, he laughed:
"Hahaha! Look what we found?"
After laughing, he looked solemn and gave an order:
"Catch them and bring them back to Augus City!"
After speaking, in the desperate sight of the nobles, the elves swarmed up and tied them up.
……
When the news of the annihilation of the Northern Army reached the center of the empire, the entire upper class society of the Holy Mania Empire was shocked.
Less than two months after the war started, a full 700,000 troops were wiped out in just the first battle.
If this unbelievable news had not been confirmed by many parties, it would be impossible for people to believe that it is true...
However, the shock at the top of the empire was just the beginning.
Because they were soon numbed by the shock of bad news one after another.
The northern battlefield is only one of the battlefields of the entire Great Holy War.
As the northern battle came to an end, battles also broke out in the eastern battlefield, southern battlefield, and death desert battlefield.
On every battlefield, players face tens to millions of noble coalition forces. On every battlefield, the strength of the Life Church is far inferior to that of the Eternal Church.
However, it was not just the northern battlefield. After the fighting broke out on various battlefields, the battle situations were shocking one after another.
On the desert of death.
With Sandstorm City as the core, the Mengmeng Committee, more than 200,000 player legions and 100,000 Quiet Alliance reinforcements supported by the underground world, fought battles in the desert with the invading Allied forces of the Kingdom of Iris.
Obviously, the number of troops of the Kingdom of Iris far exceeds that of the Elf Alliance. However, with the advantage of geographical location and resurrection, the players defeated the troops of the Kingdom of Iris and drove them almost all the way out of the Death Desert.
In the eastern part of Maple Moon Free Territory.
The defensive forces of Heart of Nature and the Free Lords of Maple Moon defended the territory along the territory, and wars broke out time and time again with the strongest Eastern Allied Forces.
Obviously there was a huge difference in the numbers between the two sides, but under Li Mu's superb command, they fought equally well.
The entire eastern theater turned into a cruel meat grinder.
At the rear, the player's Ranger Legion promoted Demacia's tactics, turning the Eastern Legion's rear upside down and almost cutting off the Eastern Alliance's logistics line.
In the end, the Eastern Allied Forces, under increasing pressure, had to give up their onslaught and confront the Maple Moon Free Territory.
In the Southern Territory, where the overall player strength is the weakest, the battle situation is even more surprising.
The Path Seeker Alliance formed by Frank broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and together with the player's Scourge Knights, they launched a fierce battle with the Empire's Southern Legion.
Despite heavy losses, the Empire's Southern Army only occupied less than half of the southern territory and could no longer advance even half a step forward. Instead, it fell into a vast sea of guerrilla warfare composed of players and life believers...
Since the beginning of the Great Holy War, the human country's millions of troops have swept everything, but they have suffered setbacks not long after the war began.
In the north of the Elf Forest, the First Legion facing the God of War Alliance is under great pressure.
However, after the God of War force, dominated by the orc alliance, began to attack the Forest of Elves, the Dragonborn Kingdom in the northeast of the mainland brazenly launched an attack on the Half-Dragon Free Council and many affiliated forces behind the God of War force, greatly reducing the pressure on the Forest of Elves. pressure.
What's even more subtle is that after the war broke out, players gradually discovered that the fighting spirit of the Orc Alliance did not seem to be as strong as imagined.
After the fierce battle at the beginning, they seemed to be just pretending to be idle workers.
The war situation on the entire continent, except for the northern battlefield, has fallen into a strange state of confrontation.
And this confrontation did not last long.
After the remaining few players who had not been attacked entered the battle, the balance of the war began to tilt rapidly towards the elves.
Several border cities that fell in the Maple Moon Free Territory were quickly recaptured, and the Southern Territory also had a tendency to counterattack.
Continuous news of defeat spread from the front lines to the rear of the human kingdom, and the entire upper class of humanity fell into a state of confusion and panic.
They never expected that their own side's overall strength was several times greater than that of the other side, but after the war started, they would be beaten to such a pulp.
Obviously, the crusade coalition led by the human army thousands of years ago was invincible when fighting against the Church of Nature.
It was not until this moment that the players suddenly discovered that they thought their side would face a difficult headwind, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tailwind...
The alliance of nobles in the human world has stretched their hips far beyond their imagination.
In other words, it is not only the fallen noble soldiers who are too weak, but also the players with the game system and resurrection ability who are too strong...
The news of victory after victory spread back to the Elf Forest, and the morale of the players became stronger and stronger, and their fighting spirit became more and more high.
However, some people with keen minds have vaguely discovered a problem.
"Something's wrong... something's very wrong."
On the eastern battlefield, Li Mu stood on the hills riding a unicorn, looking at the player troops below who were chasing the defeated imperial army, and frowned slightly:
"The Imperial Army seems to be too weak..."
"Hey, Brother Mu, it's not that they are too weak, but that we are too strong!"
Beside him, the Heart of Nature player said proudly.
However, Li Mu shook his head slightly:
"That's not right..."
As he spoke, he looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming serious:
"Let me ask you, until now, have you ever seen a legendary professional, or in other words, a legion of trial knights?"
After hearing his words, the players of Heart of Nature were stunned.
They looked at each other, one of them frowned and thought for a moment, uncertainly:
"Perhaps... it's not time to show up yet? Just like they are weak first and then strong, they will not appear until the noble troops are defeated?"
Li Mu:......
He glanced at the other party speechlessly and shook his head slightly:
"When has this happened? Haven't you changed your mind yet? Don't judge "Elf Kingdom" by the logic of clearing levels and killing monsters in other games. This is not just a simple game, but more like a 'real world' , all plot logic is also based on realistic development."
After speaking, Li Mu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully:
"But no matter what, it is definitely right to attack the human kingdom and weaken the power of the Eternal Church. Now that most of the combat power of the human nobles is contained by us, it is time to use those forces that have been prepared for a long time."
"The flames burning the human world are ready to be ignited..."
