18th century total war

Chapter 434 Goodbye Air Massacre
Although the tree people won the opportunity to attack, the main force of the advance army was tens of thousands of people, and there were many people who did not encounter the tree people's attack. These troops quickly completed the transformation of the battle formation.

Flamethrowers, large-caliber field cannons, incendiary bombs used by individual soldiers, etc., quickly caused irreparable injuries to these huge treants.

Treants are just fighting machines temporarily awakened by the elves. Strictly speaking, they are not real life forms. After exhausting the natural livelihood in their bodies, they will turn into dead trees and die.

Of course, because of this reason, how many tree people die is not a big loss to the elves.

This surprise attack is also a temptation of the elves.

If the treant's surprise attack did not achieve very good results, the elves would give up. If the tree man disrupted the advance army's march, the elves would send out the main force in the true sense to destroy the advance army.

Although a large number of treants were killed by the fire, the treants who ignited the fire can often cause more damage to human soldiers before dying.

The most important thing is that the tree people are a big blow to the soldiers of the advance legion. After all, the advance legion is not a brainwashed army like the imperial guards, they are just ordinary living troops.

When a large number of comrades-in-arms were crushed like sauce, and the corpses were 'pasted' on the ground, many soldiers collapsed on the spot.

Even if there are flame-breathing soldiers and even Molotov cocktails, which have caused effective damage to the tree people, the morale bonus brought by them is still negligible in the face of the fearless tree people.

In the final analysis, the advance legion had too little experience in fighting the tree people, which was completely equal to zero. Even if there were officers who gave them advice before, it was still difficult to accept such a terrifying enemy.

There was no overall collapse but a partial defeat, which already shows that the military quality of the advance legion is not bad.

However, the main force of the advance legion was at a disadvantage but did not completely collapse, which made the elves who had been watching completely make up their minds.

The number of tree people is limited after all, and when the tree people are killed by the advance army, the advance army can still retain a lot of vitality.

The elves have found out that the advance legion is the vanguard force to attack them. Annihilating the advance legion can not only give the Europa Empire a blow, but also use it as capital to re-propose peace to the Europa Empire.

In the eyes of World Tree and the senior elves, their requirements for the Europa Empire are not high at all, and they can even be said to be humble.

The elves don't even mind offering some elf beauties to the rumored lustful Emperor Li Wei in exchange for peace.

And the elves have no ambition to expand. The mountain forest environment in Canada is enough for the elves to take root and reproduce with peace of mind. At the same time, it can also provide a safe shelter for the world tree and slowly absorb the natural power of the new world planet.

Many races on the Makabaka plane have always thought that their homeland is on the verge of destruction because of frequent wars and excessive use of magical energy. As everyone knows, the Makabaka continental plane is going to perish entirely because of World Tree. In order to restore the lost half of the heart of the tree, the exhausted resources were used to seize the geocentric energy of the Makabaka continent, which led to the premature end of the planet where the Makabaka plane was located.

What the world tree is doing in the new world now is actually the same as the Makabaka continental plane. In order to restore the lost tree heart, it continues to grab the geocentric energy of the new world planet.

This energy can also be called the source of the planet.

Therefore, time is very important to World Tree. All he needs is a safe shelter, and he does not desire war.

After the elves wiped out the Kingdom of Canada, they have not shown any interest in foreign wars for this reason.

For this reason, paying tribute to the Europa Empire is not a problem at all for World Tree.

It's just that Emperor Li Wei obviously knew the secret of World Tree Tree Heart's ability to prolong life, and wanted his old life, this is unbearable!
The annihilation of the advance legion of the Europa Empire taught Li Wei of the Europa Empire a profound lesson. The World Tree is throwing out the water of life as a substitute, which should allow Li Wei to take back his life.

The water of life is the raw material for making the source stone of life. Although there are various restrictions on extending lifespan, it can prolong lifespan anyway, right?

At the beginning, the dignitaries of the Aligado Empire were eager for the water of life of the elves.

It's a pity that World Tree underestimated Li Wei's ambitions, and even underestimated the powerful military strength of the Europa Empire.

Just as the advance legion was fighting anxiously with the tree man, a large number of hippogryph elf knights and chimera two-headed giant beasts suddenly flew over in the sky.

Benefiting from the air combat lessons of the disastrous defeat of the Arigado Empire, the Hippogryph knights of the elves did not lower their heights to attack human soldiers. They were mainly responsible for attacking the two-headed giant Chimera, which was as rough and thick as the dragon.

The Chimera's two-headed behemoth attacked from left to right with its two heads, completely ignoring the hail of bullets rising from the ground, and began to breathe out the Chimera's breath in a large area.

The two breaths with completely different attributes wiped out the advance legion soldiers and even the artillery on the ground like toys.

The elves who controlled the air supremacy slaughtered the advance legions on the ground with impunity.

However, when this massacre encountered the 88mm anti-aircraft guns guarded inside the core by the advance legion as a baby, the advance legion finally took down the first Chimera two-headed behemoth.

Then came the second and even the third head!

Other chimera two-headed giants avoided the area covered by the 88mm anti-aircraft guns one after another, allowing the almost dispersed advance army to have a breathing space and regroup their strength.

However, the number of 88mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns equipped by the advance army is too scarce, and the huge gap between the two sides still cannot be restored.

At this moment, the commander of the elves finally released his land battle trump card. The giant on the top of the mountain, carrying a huge tree trunk, moved his big feet that covered the sky and rushed towards the anti-aircraft artillery position of the advance army.

At this time, most of the field cannons of the advance legion were destroyed by the two-headed giant chimera, and there was no weapon to effectively destroy the giant on the top of the mountain!

Hundreds of giants on the top of the mountain were like bulldozers, tearing the regrouped resistance front of the advance army into rags.

Just when the elves thought that the victory of this war was settled, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky.

The Hippogryph knight who had been circling in the air immediately let out bursts of screams, and greeted the fleet of the Europa Empire flying over from a distance.

It's just that the scale on the opposite side made the Hippogryph knights feel desperate.

Hundreds of fighters, this is already all of the North American Expeditionary Force!
If it was dispatched during a sudden attack, it would be impossible to gather so many fighters in such a short period of time. In other words, this attack was a bait thrown by the North American Expeditionary Force!

It's the same as when the White Tiger Legion of the Arigado Empire was wiped out by a round of naval guns!
As before, the main force of the Europa Empire's air force was divided into two waves. The fast air superiority fighters were the first to pounce on the two-headed chimera giant, and the elven hippogryph knights who were trying to cover the escape of the two-headed chimera giant beast.

The result is obvious, the imperial eagles of the Europa Empire just swooped down and fired a volley, and it would rain hippogryphs in the sky.

Facing the machine guns of fighter jets, the fate of these hippogryphs is no different from that of the former Griffin Knights of the Arigado Empire.

The flying speed of the two-headed behemoth Chimera was not much faster than the dragoons of the Arigado Empire. Before leaving the battlefield, it was overtaken by fighter jets from the Europa Empire that had just slaughtered the Hippogryph knight.

The remaining surviving hippogryph knights, that is, the night elf riders above, have dizzy eyes. It is their bounden duty to protect the two-headed chimera. The lives of the two-headed chimera are more precious than their own lives. At this time, Get shot down by enemy fighters with armor-piercing bullets like a target!
Hippogryph knights took the initiative to chase those fighter jets with the determination to die, even if their speed couldn't even catch up with the opponent's exhaust...

However, at this moment, the night elves showed a sense of honor that far surpassed that of the human knights of the Arigado Empire. They were really willing to sacrifice their lives for this, and none of the hippogryph knights tried to escape.

It was in stark contrast to the Qinglong Legion of the Arigado Empire that was defeated at the beginning.

It's a pity that the Europa Empire's air force encountered by the elven hippogryph knights this time is far larger than it was when they destroyed the Azure Dragon Army of the Arigado Empire.

"Elf! Never give up!"

A night elf shouted at the top of his voice, manipulating the Hippogryph under his crotch, trying to catch up with an Imperial Eagle fighter plane that was besieging the two-headed giant Chimera, but at some point behind it, another fighter plane was staring at it. superior.

As soon as the slogan was finished, there was a burst of short bursts of fire, and the hippogryph and the night elf knight above were beaten into a pile of tattered minced meat.

These armor-piercing bullets specially used to shoot Chimera two-headed monsters, no matter in terms of caliber or power, are too powerful for hippogryph knights...

The fallen chimera giant two-headed beast may still have the possibility of retaining its entire body, but those petite Hippogryph knights, without exception, all fell to the ground with remains.

However, the advantage of air combat did not change the situation where the advance army below was completely abused. The small number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns were rolled by several mountain giants, and all of them were turned into scrap iron.

The advance army, which had lost most of its heavy firepower, faced the mountaintop giant who was taller and more majestic than the tree man, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to even break through the defense.

Gradually, the number of advance legionnaires who resisted was not as large as the number of advance legionnaires who fled.

More and more soldiers are throwing away their weapons and dare not face the desperate giants on the top of the mountain. Even if the air force units of the elves are constantly falling from the sky, their morale cannot be restored!
For them, the [-]-meter-high giant on the top of the mountain is too oppressive.

Looking down from the sky, human soldiers are no different from ants in front of the giant on the top of the mountain, they can trample to death with one foot!
Jack, the new commander of the Independent Assault Company, was naturally also in the process of fleeing. At this time, he could no longer find his soldiers, not even the adjutant he personally appointed.

The casualties were too tragic, and other troops experienced the treatment of an independent assault company for the first time.

More than half of the battle damage is commonplace!
However, Jack has a wealth of running experience, turned left and right, and didn't even escape towards the periphery of the war zone, and unexpectedly saved his own life.

The reason why he didn't run to the periphery of the battlefield was because Jack discovered that a group of small treants had lurked in the periphery at some time. The official name among the elves is tree demon.

Dryads are different from the temporarily awakened giant treants. They can be regarded as half-finished lives. They can stick their roots in nature to absorb nutrients and survive on weekdays. Dying out of vitality.

In fact, the elves are a group of species that absorb the vitality of the planet. The purpose of their afforestation is not to improve the planet's environment, but to increase cannon fodder for themselves.

What is consumed is the force of nature, that is, the life force of the planet.

However, it is difficult for this kind of dryad that can survive for a long time to grow in size, because a larger size means more nutrients consumed during battle.

Except for some ancient war trees, ordinary dryads are only two or three meters tall, which is enough to have a crushing level of strength advantage over humans.

This is a more cost-effective way for the Dryad to survive.

These tree demons don't need to be too afraid of the individual weapons of the advance legion. Unless it is a big machine gun, it is difficult to kill this living plant.

Behind the Dryad's meat shield were night elves holding bows and arrows.

There are ordinary elf archers inside, as well as more elite jungle huntresses.

The elves are a matriarchal society, so it is naturally determined by their combat effectiveness. I don't know if it is because of World Tree's preference. Female elves often have higher fighting talents and fighting potential than males.

This makes the elite warriors of the night elves, the jungle hunters, all female.

The jungle huntresses all have their own exclusive mounts, which are more mobile. They hide in the rear, and with their line of defense, even a soldier of the advance legion can't escape.

The night elves at the bottom of the elves already hated the human soldiers of the Europa Empire. I don't know how many people of the same race who performed reconnaissance missions died at the hands of human soldiers!
Therefore, the elves are not willing to let even one human soldier escape.

Human soldiers captured by the elves often die humiliatingly and painfully.

This is why Jack has never dared to run to the periphery of the battlefield.

After all, this is the home of the elves!
They are more familiar with the terrain than the advance legion.

In the sky, the air force of the elves is being slaughtered. On the ground, the organization of the advance legion is completely disrupted. More and more routs appear. Even the senior generals of the advance legion are busy running away. A big defeat seems to have been over. Doomed.

And as more and more troops were defeated by the advance army, the elves seemed to think that the victory was certain, and sent a large number of tree demons to join the battlefield to hunt down the remnants of the enemy.
