Chapter 119 Forest Defense Line
The Wingman Scouts quickly stepped forward to launch a large-scale contact battle with the Elf Knights. During a series of small contact battles, the Wingman Air Force reported frequent surprises.
The elves never expected to encounter a cheating weapon like a musket in the hands of the Wingers. Modern guns are driven by chemical gunpowder. They are not only powerful, but also have a long range, far beyond the traditional long-range weapons and bows that the elves are generally equipped with, and caught the elves off guard. This new way of war even surpasses the elves' cognition. The entire Gaia world has never had any single weapon with such a long effective damage distance, completely surpassing the limit of military tactics in this world. The elves' elves' elves were tortured by the elves with such revolutionary weapons in a small-scale battle, and they were almost defeated by the elves' elves in a slight battle.
After this series of contact battles, the Wingman Air Force's combat range quickly approached the elves' defense line, and did not stop until it approached dozens of kilometers on the edge of the forest.
Then, in front of the elves' defense line, the Wingman Air Force gathered in large numbers, and the Wingman Scouts who had preserved enough physical strength began to take off, spread their horizons, holding the standard equipment of the Wingman Scouts at the base mountain, and the military-grade telescope from the earth. The forest defense line that the elves had been operating for more than half a month showed contours in the sharp eyes of the Wingman.
The edge of the forest that lasts dozens of kilometers on the west coast was originally a place of overgrown weeds, but now it has become a paradise for magical plants. The ones that stretch on the edge are no longer wild grass, but devil thorns. A magic shrub plant that stands one or two meters high, spreading densely on the edge. The branches in the bushes are covered with spikes several inches long, with poison on it, which has a considerable anesthetic effect.
The magical plant of Devil Thorn is one of the lowest magical plants. It has low cultivation cost, good defense effect, strong toughness, and can cut them off. As long as the elves have enough people, they can create a large-scale devil Thorn bush several kilometers in one night. It is the most affordable and cheap defense tool for the elves.
In addition to the devil thorns, the grass growing on the grass inside is man-eating flowers, another low-level magical plant cultivated by the druids of the notorious elves. This magical plant looks like a giant flower on the outside, but has sharp teeth on the edges. Once the creature comes into contact with it, it will be immediately entangled by tightened flowers and repeatedly sucked by sharp teeth, with the same good defensive effect. The most important thing is that it is the same quality and low price, and it is very fast. In just half a month, from the thorn bush, it goes from hundreds of meters deep into the forest to the grass in the forest, it becomes covered with this kind of thing everywhere. At first glance, it looks strange and beautiful, bright red color, extremely weird and gloomy.
In the deeper forest, people can also see that the original West Coast forest ecology is being changed by the elves. Various strange-shaped trees grow from the forest, increasing the original forest altitude. Among them, grenade trees with trees of up to fifty or sixty meters high are towering like mountain peaks in the forest. Today's coastline forests are becoming increasingly dense, and it seems dark, and there are countless other strange war weapons hidden deep in the depths, looking like an abyss that chooses people to eat...
The elves are indeed the most defensive race on the mainland. In just half a month, the entire West Coast forest area that stretches for dozens of kilometers has become an indestructible plant meat grinder. If you want to force a breakthrough in such a defense line, how many orcs will be filled in? It’s terrible to think about it!
The people of Wings were swaying here to explore the sky and quickly woke up the opposite side.
After a while, the harsh horn sounded in the forest, and one after another of the elves of the elves of the sky knights took off one after another and came towards this side.
...
The orcs' winged air force appeared on the forest defense line in large numbers. The elves of the air knights retreated step by step and were beaten to lose the air superiority that had come out of the airspace to the headquarters of the Knights, the two leaders and deputy commanders of the Knights were both surprised.
"What, is this true?" The leader of the Knights' regiment held the battle report he had just handed over in recent days, and his heart was almost bleeding. He was just talking to the deputy regiment commander Jaina about how stupid the orcs are now. But immediately the data in the battle report slapped them in the face.
"These seventy-three, a total of seventy-three, and seventy-three air knights are missing. Why did they report it until now? The team leader and squadron leader below have all been brave enough to be ambitious. How dare you hide such a big thing and not report it!"
"No, no, no, it's not that you conceal it and don't report it, but that everyone thought that something happened in advance. We can't go back time, and no one dared to think that these air knights really can't go back! The winged men in the past did not show such strong combat ability!" The commanders under their command replied one after another.
The leader of the regiment wanted to continue cursing a few more words, but suddenly remembered that he was careless in the past few days. The news that the air knights had not returned had been reported one after another, and he did not pursue it carefully. It was difficult to blame the responsibility on his subordinates.
"Hey! Sky Knight, Sky Knight! That's the one who flew out, that's going to sprinkle blood in the sky!" He could only sigh powerlessly, "Look, look, the second wave of the orcs' air strangling is so fierce. In just a few days, our outer sky Knights suffered a loss of seventy-three, a total of seventy-three sky Knights! It's equivalent to my entire light cavalry regiment being destroyed."
This loss shocked a lot of knight officers in the Knights headquarters and calmed down for a long time. Seventy-three Sky Knights, which was almost equal to half of the Knights' Light Knights. Since crossing the river, the Knights have not suffered such a major loss.
This kind of loss is the loss caused by the light air knights fighting the orcs' Winged Air Force in the air when they were conducting reconnaissance in the air. Within a few days, almost none of the reconnaissance teams that came out had come back. As soon as they were lifted into the air and entered the enemy's airspace, they were immediately blocked and strangled by the enemy. The captains of each regiment were actually rookies. At first, they did not realize the dangers in this, but they continued to increase the scale of the dispatch, resulting in greater and greater losses. Finally, they summed up to this point and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Knights.
The scattered losses, which together, caused such huge casualties. The Elf Knights are one of the few elite troops in the Elf Army with frontal combat capabilities. The Knights' losses of this level are enough to be reported to higher levels, and the regiment leader may still be asked by the Presbyterian Church.
The victory in the previous stage led to the laissez-faire these days. The air knights under his command were arrogant, mentally paralyzed, and arbitrarily increased the cruise range and dispatched without authorization. These are the reasons why such huge losses were made this time. As the regiment commander, he must take responsibility for this. The loss of the air knight is a real loss. There will be no survivors in the air combat of the Air Force. Even prisoners cannot be found.
It seems that the enemies who come this time must be taken seriously.
"It seems that we need to organize another cluster air battle to destroy this group of Wingman Air Force. In the previous annihilation battle, I think that they suffered a great loss under our hands, and to a large extent they did not understand us. Once the Wingman truly exerts the individual fighting advantage in the air, our air knights will not be able to defeat them. We must admit that in the air force, our elf air knights individuals will never be able to fight head-on with the enemy and must rely on collective efforts."
And this time, even Lord Jaina is as proud as Lord Gianna, he must agree with the leader's statement.
"Oh, what do you decide?"
The leader thought about it,
"We still need to fight collective wars with the enemy and avoid small-scale contact wars. During this period, we must do our best to defend our airspace, strictly prohibit small-scale troops from going out to fight, stop all air reconnaissance missions, and only protect our airspace on the line of defense."
"Okay!" Jaina agreed after hearing this. For the sake of the current plan, since she could not defeat the enemy in a single battle, she had to do this for the time being.
"In addition," the leader stood up and moved his muscles and bones.
"Let the First Regiment set out and set up an air combat formation. I personally lead the attack to fight the enemy in an overall battle, and take out the results of the air combat tactical battles we have trained for many years for the orcs to see.
Let the second wings be prepared for takeoff, and make preparations to support the expansion of the war depending on the situation.
The enemy is not scary either. The number of winged air force among the orc reinforcements nearby will not be large. We are fully prepared and all our forces are concentrated here, with a huge gap. One force will reduce ten times. As long as we don’t fall into the trap, we don’t have to be afraid of anything. I don’t believe that the orc’s winged air force is really so scary!”
"yes!"
