The surrender of the Russians liberated some of the manpower for Zhang Quan. The captured Leopards of the Claws had softened a little after a while of labor reform. Now, as soon as the Russians came forward, even if the big guys were dissatisfied with him before, they easily accepted the persuasion of Russians and were assigned to his subordinates to serve the Base Mountain Tribe.

These leopards have been trained as soldiers since they were born, and labor reform is a great pain for them.

Zhang Quan was not in the mood to arm them, so he just sent some centaur officers into it to serve as grassroots command for tactical training, and then equipped all the leopard men with half armor, big swords, and backpacks, forming a light infantry of more than a thousand people. Then he sent them south to negotiate with the leopard men alliance and support the south by the way.

His troops stepped up their armaments and were ready to go south to fight at any time.

But at this time he didn't know that the offensive of the southern elves army was much faster and more fierce than he thought, and the trench of the Kampra River that stretched across was now far less effective than before under the magical plant technology of the elves...

...

To the south, thousands of kilometers away, only a few dozen kilometers away from the mouth of the Kampra River, the water surface of the river becomes wider and the water flows slow down. The north bank opposite the river is no longer a wasteland with sparse vegetation, but dense jungles.

The army of elves had already gathered on the grassland behind the jungle of the south bank. The light green elves tent woven with giant elm fibers was also paved on the grassland. Tens of thousands of elves gathered, and countless birds, beasts were riding, chasing the grassland happily, and various dazzling golden fruit trees. The fragrant coconut trees emerged from the grassland overnight, forming several neatly arranged forests. The fresh branches and leaves that had just grown under the catalysis of spells on the trees are now full of fruits.

These are the most common magical plant fruit trees that elves eat, which is equivalent to the grain warehouse of the elves. The fruits on the trees are similar to sweet bread, rich in starch and cellulose, and are a high-energy wartime ration. Young coconut is a fruit that can fill the elves with good taste and sufficient nutrition.

When the elves marched, they carried this magical plant grain seed. When they arrived at the earth, they quickly organized personnel to cast spells and urged them to grow. They bloomed and bear fruit within a few days, and became the food for the elves. In terms of logistics alone, the food of the elves with the army was even more exaggerated than the treatment of the soldiers of the Milijian Kingdom, the most luxurious milijian country on the earth. But there is no way, who let the elves master this amazing plant magic technology? This terrifying alternative technology has long developed into all aspects of the elves society, and its development is comparable to that of computers that opened the information age on the earth.

Such a big noise could obviously not be hidden from the opposite side of the river bank. The Leopard Tribe Alliance received the exact news a few days ago. The northern expedition of the elves had caused the Leopard League to start mobilizing in a comprehensive manner. The woods opposite were silhouetted, and it was obvious that the orcs who had already made a defensive posture.

The core members of the elves have arrived at this moment. At this moment, on the south bank, the army drove a wide road in the jungle to the river bank. Everyone gathered in the open space on the shore, looking at the north bank more than ten miles away. His Majesty the Elf Queen Buren Hill was wearing a shiny half-body armor and an emerald crown on his forehead, which set off his jade-faced and red lips, looking heroic. The title of the No. 1 Beauty of the Northland Elf is indeed well-deserved.

The high priest beside her was not very satisfied with the terrain.

"What's going on? Do you have to attack in the area of ​​the estuary? It's probably not easy to build a bridge with such a wide river surface. Wouldn't there be more casualties?"

The leader of the Knights of the Sword of Hao Dixiu, the person in charge of the former army, immediately turned his head and looked at the queen. He decided on the battlefield of the Battle of Crossing the River according to the Queen's order.

The Queen spoke out and said:

"His High Priest! This is the best place to cross the river based on the situation of both the enemy and us. Because the river surface here is wide, the flow rate is slowing down. Our bridge tree can take root directly at the bottom of the river. Moreover, the other side is wooded, and the geographical combat conditions are more suitable for our elves to fight."

The Speaker of the Druid Priesthood next to him, and the respected Saruman Saint also stood up and said:

"And what is more important to us elves is that the closer the wasteland is to the west coast, the more suitable the water and soil are for our magical plants to grow. The geographical environment of this estuary, after thousands of years of deposition, is rich in humus and nutritional environment, is the most suitable battlefield for our elves to unfold. In this way, we can also slightly reduce our material consumption, and we don't need to rely on our precious magic materials."

As soon as the Saruman sacrifice was released, even the High Priest had to consider carefully. As the most respected druid priest, the Saruman sacrifice itself was a senior druid who was proficient in magical plants. His words were extremely important. Moreover, the elves' tradition of ruling has always been group decisions, and even the nominal supreme power, His High Priest, could not forcefully decide what to do against the wishes of the elders.

In fact, His Highness the High Priest was not interested in military affairs. The reason why he inquire about this was just because he wanted to demonstrate his authority in this army. Seeing that both adults explained this, they no longer asked, but only instructed the troops to cooperate sincerely in combat and pay attention to reducing casualties.

The population of the elves has always been the most precious resource in the clan. The result of the evolution of the elves' long life is that the fertility rate of young men and women in the clan is extremely low, and the life of each elves is an extremely noble property. Even in war, the elves rarely go directly to fight. The strange military technology tree such as war magic plants is actually a product of this kind of war thinking.

"Have we figured out the situation on the other side? Chief Gianna?" His High Priest no longer talks about the war. Then the next time is Her Majesty's performance. This Northern Expedition, the Queen is the most concerned one among the elf's senior officials. It can be said that the actual command of this war is in the hands of this young and powerful elf's senior official.

Although Jaina is the deputy leader of the Knights, there are too many senior elf leaders who are crowded here at this moment. Every position is above her. It is difficult to get treatment if you can come up and show your face.

She glanced at His Majesty with joy, hurriedly squeezed up from her body, and replied:

"Report to His Highness the High Priest, Her Majesty the Queen!" He did not forget to signal to other adults during his busy schedule.

"Our air cavalry has entered the north shore and fought with the orc scouts dozens of times. They won more than lose less, gave the enemy a heavy blow, and basically mastered the defensive information of the other shore. From ten days ago to now, the nearest Leopard Man Division on the other shore has completed the mobilization. Just opposite us, more than two thousand Leopard Man entered one after another, and the others are also assisting in the battle: Bear Man, Taurus, Dog Man, and Cat Man.

In addition, there are also orc tribes coming from other places, and it is expected that the orcs here will reach more than 100,000 soon."

Two thousand leopards, more than one hundred thousand! The elves looked at each other a few times and were all in a heavy mood. This is a very worthy number.

Orcs are different from elves. Even lower-class orcs with weaker physiques are also combat-capable enemies for elves. The dog-headed and cat-man, these troops that are basically not capable of combat power during the civil war of the orcs. If they are missed, they will also cause damage to the elves when they appear on the battlefield at some point.

The guiding ideology of the elves' combat is to try to fight with zero casualties, and use massive resources and firepower attacks like landslides and tsunamis to make up for the gap in combat power between the elves and other races. No matter who will be the supreme military command, this is the first thing she must consider.

Because the elves have too few populations, only a few million in total, and each individual is so indispensable to the entire race. The knowledge and experience accumulated over hundreds of years of life are wealth for the entire elves. In any case, there must be no large number of casualties in the war, otherwise, even if the West Coast is occupied as planned, it will be less than worth the loss for the elves. The population growth rate of the elves is too slow and too low!

His Majesty Burren Hill looked at the reactions of everyone and spoke:

"It seems that this is the case. We must cross the river in the shortest possible time, strive to control a foothold across the river, and build a defense system."

"yes!"

"It should be so!" Everyone agreed with the Queen's proposal.

"Now, we will ask all our brave commanders," the queen turned to the commanders of the various combat troops following behind the senior officials. "I wonder if everyone's offensive preparations are ready. Can we start the attack immediately under the command of the Presbyterian Church and His Highness the High Priest?"

The composition of the elves' Northern Expedition Army was extremely complex. In addition to the Royal Court Guard, Hao Dixiu's Sword Elf Knights, Temple Sacrifice Group, and Temple Guard, there were also temporary legions composed of elves from various families who responded to the imperial edict, as well as elves who came from other tree cities and even other elves' royal courts. All of this, the nominal supreme command can only belong to the Presbyterian Church and His High Priest.

The leader of the Knights, the commander of the Royal Court Guard and the Temple Guard, and the commander of the priests all stood up and said that they could set off at any time. The elves' combat preparations were the easiest, not to mention the elites who were preparing for war all year round, the patriarchs of other elves families watched and hurriedly followed them to fight.

"Okay! Very good!" The Queen looked over the faces of these people one by one, "Then, tomorrow morning, we will start crossing the river and let the dirty orcs hiding behind the river barrier on the north bank feel the anger from the forest elves!"

yes!
Chapter completed!
