Extraordinary: Lord of the Elements

Chapter 138 War is Coming
After losing, the barbarians were encroached on a large amount of territory.

Large numbers of people also had to migrate westward.

Under the pressure of population, it is urgent to open up new land.

The savages are not just living a precarious nomadic life, and there are no human slaves among the savages. Some savages are also managing their own cultivated land, and have changed from a nomadic life to an agricultural life.

It's just that because of changes in the eastern coastline, they lost a large area of ​​land, and the existing cultivated land could no longer support so many people, so they had to expand westward.

According to their spies among the human beings, there seems to be a bit of turmoil among the several countries in the central country, and civil strife has already appeared. When they attack at this time, the central country may take a long time to respond.

Even if you want to respond, you may give up because other countries are holding back.

When the civil strife in the central countries ended and the order was cleared up, they had already occupied a large area of ​​land by that time.

Even if the central country wants to counterattack and mediate, they can pay some ransom to keep the occupied land as much as possible.

These are a few large tribes who migrated here from the east coast. They have already had a lot of power eaten away by outsiders, but they still cannot be underestimated when they are together.

The leader of the barbarians said: "The first problem we face is Sunset Fortress.

As a fortress built with the help of the Central Empire, the peak wisdom of the central countries is concentrated here. If it is attacked by force, it will be difficult to capture it even with a million people.

And if you go around him, just leave it alone.

A fortress with 10,000+ people is placed behind us. It is easy for many enemies to appear from the fortress and from behind us, cutting off our retreat, just like the last time we invaded the Principality of Cabrog. "

Facing the flanking attacks of enemies from two directions at the same time, the barbarians were forced to give up even if they occupied the entire Duchy of Kabrog.

A priest whose face was covered with talismans said: "The strongest fortresses are usually breached from the inside. Our last attack has proven that the idea of ​​bypassing the fortress to attack the human border is correct.

The Principality of Kabrog has just been rebuilt, and there is only one fifth-level magister in their country.

We can reoccupy this place, and then concentrate our efforts to go south, through the southern territory to the back of Sunset Fortress.

This time we first contacted some of our spies inside them, and then we attacked and surrounded them from two sides. "

"It's easy to say, there is a teleportation array in Sunset Fortress! Those countries may send support at any time!"

A big barbarian shouted: "If you can't take it down, you have to take it! If you can't take the Sunset Fort this time, I'm afraid half of our tribes will die. We must take it down!
These at least 7 human kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Kahilda, must be defeated and occupy their lands!
Only in this way will we have enough land to house our people!
Otherwise, what will we do after we run out of food reserves? !Can you not eat?Where does food come from? ! "

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, An Dongxi, the leader of the barbarians, said: "Whether you win or not, you must fight first.

The king's court promised that there will be legends to help us.

Andre, you go to inquire about the news among the human kingdoms to see if they have spare capacity to support Sunset Fortress.

If you have, take gold, silver and jewelry to provoke their relationship.

The abundance of human beings does not necessarily mean that the kingdoms on the border will start a war with us.

Moreover, they are not monolithic internally, as long as they provoke in place, maybe they don't have to pay such a big price. "

He paused, waited for the surrounding barbarians to react, and continued: "Let's discuss how to quickly occupy the Principality of Kaborog and the territory to the south of it."

"It's not easy, just press it over!" It's enough for Mang to go over, can't several of their big tribes beat these small kingdoms on the human border?

“There is nothing to pay attention to in the Principality of Cabrog, but the country to the south of it still has some potential.

I read that there were three new Fifth Orders in the last year alone.

The population of this kingdom is several times that of Kaborog, and its defense power is much stronger than that of the Principality.

However, our people sent back news that a palace coup had just occurred in this kingdom a few years ago. In order to prevent the local nobles from making trouble, their top strength is still distributed in several cities. "

An Dongxi said: "We must divide and outflank them as quickly as possible, and we cannot let them twist together."

He took out the map, "Before they reacted, we bypassed the capital of the Kaborog Principality through this road, quickly captured these three cities, and then outflanked here.

This is the Exploration Territory, and there are two Martial Kings here, one is subordinate to the kingdom, and the other is the rebel force of the kingdom.

Matvey, Mikhail, and Nikita, the three of you bring your clansmen and kill them here at the lowest cost.

Our plan must be fast, absolutely not procrastinated.

In addition, the rest of the people attacked the capital of Kabrog together with me, and quickly headed west after taking it. We want to destroy the capital of the Kingdom of Greeheart before they can react.

It must be very fast, and it must be before the human Middle Kingdom reacts.After taking these two kingdoms, we gather all the forces of the Horde to lay siege to Sunset Fortress. "

"Everyone, at the moment of life and death, I hope that everyone will not affect everyone's survival because of some grievances in the past.

Otherwise I'll make food for him and his tribe to survive this cold winter. "

Soon the savages were marching along the frontier.

It was already after winter when Li Hansheng received the news.

Because of the terrain, there are not many caravans coming and going here, and the main thing is to transport food outside. There are only a few caravans stationed in this city, which also brings a lag in news.

Fortunately, the intelligence team formed by Li Hansheng with several fourth-level assassins played some role.

After the first snow fell in winter, the half-elf Middleton came to Li Hansheng's study, "The Principality of Kaborog has fallen again, and a large number of barbarians are coming in our direction, but their main target does not seem to be It's not us, there is only a non-brand of two to 3000 people coming towards us.

A large number of troops still headed in the direction of Griffin City. "

Li Hansheng's mind withdrew from the deep world, and he was a little dazed, but he recovered soon.

Li Hansheng asked: "Then how strong are the barbarians who rushed to our side?"

"It should be a small tribe. The most powerful person in it is only a fourth-order, and there are only seven or eight third-order people. Among the remaining 3000 people, the first-order and second-order account for less than 10%, and the rest are ordinary people. .

They were not well armed, and some even carried bony mallets, but each was wrapped in leather fleece to enable them to march in the bitter cold.

50% of these thousands of people are old people, children and women who don't have much combat effectiveness. With the current strength of our territory, they can be easily defeated. "

Middleton asked: "It's just that if our territory takes the initiative to attack, will it violate the taboo of the city lord?"

Li Hansheng asked: "How many barbarians are going to New Hope City?"

The half-elf said: "It's so vast, you can't see the edge at a glance, and there are more than one fifth-level town inside. I just glanced at the edge and almost got caught.

I looked all the way along the way they came, and the cities along the way have been occupied. Basically, these cities have no resistance for more than half a day.

The process of their city gates being destroyed was exactly the same. The high-level powerhouses forcibly broke through the city gates, and then the barbarians rushed forward.

With the size of these small cities, there is no way they can stop so many people. Now more than a dozen cities have fallen into the brutality of barbarians.

Li Hansheng regained his composure a little, his thinking has been a bit slow recently, and he said: "I'm going to invite the city lord and a few big shots in the city here tonight, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them.

In addition, let Ma Nan Donner and the others get ready to bring our adventure group into the city tonight and try to take over the city defense as much as possible. "

The city was built at the valley mouth of the basin, guarding a large plain in the basin.

As long as this pass is guarded, the villages and small towns in this territory will be safe and sound.

Just from a strategic point of view, defending the entire basin area is far more important than defending the territory. This is related to whether Li Hansheng will face attacks from all directions.

After Middleton went out, Li Hansheng found the map he had drawn. This map was compiled based on the information he consulted and the field survey conducted by his own organization. It not only marked the various terrains, but also marked the population and defense of each city. strength.

The city of Kawati where he is located is not conspicuous in normal times, but once the war starts, this piece of land will become a battleground, first of all because the arable land in the vast basin here stores a large amount of grain.

The second is the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is difficult to break through without enemies that are several times the size of the defenders.

As long as you stay here and have a sufficient supply of food, you can be firmly stuck in the center of this territory like a nail.

In terms of defensive conditions alone, Cavati City is even much better than New Hope City.

If Li Hansheng hadn't settled here first, Earl Griffin might have chosen this place as his new Griffin City.

Looking at the map, Li Hansheng hesitated between withdrawing and defending. After a while, Gabot opened the door and walked in, asking: "I saw the members of the adventure group gathering. Are they going to fight? The enemy this time is who?"

After recuperating, Gablebot looked much better.

It's just that he still can't exert his full strength.

Of course, there are plenty of people who are stronger than him in the territory now, and there is no need for Gabot to fight in person.

His travel experience can be of great help to Li Hansheng. Li Hansheng told Gabriel about the current situation and wanted to ask Gabriel for his opinion.

Gaibert thought for a while and said: "According to the scale of the barbarian's current attack, it must not be a small fight in the past. Even in the last attack, they only had a few medium-sized tribes participating.

A battle of this scale must have involved a large tribe, and the actions of the large tribe must have been instructed by the barbarian royal court.

If the Barbarian King's Court decides to join the battle, then Tier [-] will not be the pinnacle of this battle. Legendary and even Sanctuary powers may be involved.

Under this kind of power, if we stick to it, we will definitely end up dead. "

Li Hansheng nodded, "I also intend to evacuate, the key is where to evacuate, and with so many citizens, it is also a question of who will leave and who will not."

Gaibert said: "The evacuation can be prepared in advance, but don't make a big show, first put on a defensive posture.

As for whether to really go or not, it depends on the reaction of Sunset Fortress.

The Sunset Fortress has a teleportation array that leads directly to the central countries. Their daily supplies are obtained from the teleportation array. If those countries intend to hold on to these territories, the reinforcements that will soon pour out from the Sunset Fortress will overwhelm the invaders. The barbarians cut them off and surrounded and killed them in human territory.

But if they have no intention of defending, they can quickly evacuate from Sunset Fortress, making Sunset Fortress an empty shell. "

"So we now have to see the reactions of the countries in the middle?"

Cavati City is not far from Sunset Fortress, the straight-line distance is only more than 100 kilometers.

The assassins under Li Hansheng could easily find out the news about Sunset Fortress.

"My advice is to see the situation first."

"Okay, let's defend the city first, and if it doesn't work, we will evacuate."

Many members of the adventure group have just started families, and the production in the territory has just got on track. If they evacuate suddenly, there may be some difficulties.

Gaibert said: "Even if it's a little late to evacuate now, a large number of barbarians are coming from the north and south, and we will meet some on the way here from time to time, and we may also meet the other party's large troops.

In this case, it is even better to wait until after the war is over, all the barbarians have entered the city, and there are fewer barbarians in the wild, and then we will intersperse.

We can even find a safe place in the dense forest of Griffin Ridge and hide for a while. "

Li Hansheng shook his head: "It's hard to find a place that can accommodate tens of thousands of people."

His territory is just on the right track now, and the members of the adventure group have expanded to more than 3000 people, and all of them have been replaced with leather armor and fine steel weapons. Their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and they can be used as elites.

However, if you bring these citizens in the territory, it will greatly slow down the speed.

After a little trade-off, Li Hansheng made up his mind. The barbarians will definitely not kill everyone, and he has no ability to take everyone away, so if the situation is not right, he can only take the adventure group and the adventure group Relatives of members were evacuated.

Even Li Hansheng couldn't guarantee that the 3000 people in the adventure group would follow him. Some of them had already gotten used to living in this territory, and started families and careers in pursuit of stability.

Even if there are 3000 people who have the teachings of the Holy Light, 2000 people can follow Li Hansheng to be thankful.

Of course, half-elves and those fourth-level people controlled by poison must follow.

There are only a few white mages and warlocks left after all this time, and it doesn't matter if they leave or not.

The heavy snow fell quickly, submerging the roads connecting the various cities.

But under New Hope City, which is the original Griffin City, a large number of barbarians have trampled all the snow, and black and black heads surrounded them from all directions.
