Green Monster Epic

Alicia and the other powerful elves arrived late, and everyone was moved by what they saw, their eyes filled with cold light.

The main force of the elves chasing the defeated Drow soldiers numbered nearly 300,000, but the number that finally escaped was only about 120,000 to 130,000. Such a heavy loss for the elves made their previous victory in breaking through the Cold Wind Ridge city a joke. The elves' attempt to severely damage the Drow in this southern expedition was almost impossible.

Watching the remaining elves being surrounded and desperately fighting in the battlefield ahead, Alicia and the other powerful elves wished they could take action immediately to save them from the fire. However, more than a dozen wilderness powerhouses led by Allen, with madness and coldness in their eyes, were also poised to strike.

"Lord Allen, are you sure you want to be enemies with my kingdom?"

Alicia looked around, but did not see Besim come to report the situation to her, nor did she find his trace among the auras of the strong in the army below, and her heart inevitably sank.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do, so she could only brace herself, raise her noble head, stare at Allen, and question him coldly.

"Madam Alicia, please understand one fact first. The place where you are now has been the territory of my Mansha Wilderness since ancient times. The target you are attacking is also a formal member of my Mansha Alliance."

"Do you think that the various tribes in my Northern Territory can stand idly by, allowing you to defeat my alliance members one by one and annex my Northern Territory's land?"

"What a joke! !"

Anyway, Allen was not in a hurry now. The army fighting below was finishing up. It was more important to completely eat the fat meat that had reached his mouth, so he was happy to argue with these elves.

"Good! Very good! !"

The expression on Alicia's face was so cold that it could almost freeze space, and suppressed anger was burning in her heart, but she had nowhere to release it.

"I only hope that you will not regret the humiliation that my kingdom has suffered today. We will definitely get it back in double in the future."

"Then I'll wait and see! !"

The remaining elves continued to retreat to the rear. At this time, the morale of the army was frustrated, and it was not suitable for further fighting. Therefore, even though their own powerhouses had come to support them, the army commanders below were still very rational and did not make a decision to counterattack.

Since the army had decided to retreat, then Alicia and the other dozen or so powerhouses naturally had no motivation to launch an attack. When the Drow powerhouses such as Penny Le and Lillian also returned to join Allen and the others, Alicia and the others had even less motivation to fight.

The two sides confronted each other from a distance, watching the last team of warriors in the besieged elven army being drowned in the sea of Drow and wilderness warriors. Alicia and others' faces became more and more ugly, but they were helpless, which really made the Drow matriarchs feel excited and amused.

It was not until the elven army completely disappeared on the horizon that Alicia and the other powerhouses glared at Allen and others with resentment and malice for a few times, and then flew back unwillingly.

It wasn't that Allen and others didn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the limitations of the Thorns Coalition's own strength meant that although they had won a great victory in this battle, the main force in the actual battle was still the Drow. The Thorns Legion itself had only taken advantage of surprise and the help of wilderness powerhouses.

The Drow, as the main attacking force, although supported and cooperated by the wilderness army, severely damaged this pursuing elf, but they also suffered heavy losses themselves. At least 50,000 soldiers lost their combat power. The remaining army of less than 200,000 was not much larger than the retreating elven army, and the risk of continuing the pursuit might reverse the outcome of the war again.

"I really don't know how to thank Lord Allen, and the adults in the Northern Territory for extending their helping hands!"

Penny Le swayed her slender waist, walking in the void as if walking on flat ground, expressing her gratitude to Allen and the group of reinforcements with a smile.

"Matriarch Penny Le is too polite. In fact, even if we didn't take action, you would have ways to deal with the elves."

Allen learned from the ways of the civilized world and complimented politely.

"You think too highly of us, Lord. If the tribes in the Northern Territory hadn't pulled out this army, we would probably have to retreat to Bonn City!"

"Hahaha"

The powerhouses in the sky were hypocritically polite, but the army on the ground was cleaning up the battlefield and frantically searching for the spoils on the ground without causing friction.

The Thorns Coalition was newly formed and had not completed basic training before being pulled onto the battlefield. Although they won a great victory in the end, it was not known whether to call them lucky or unlucky.

After the initial count after the war, the Thorns Coalition, which was not the protagonist of the battlefield, had nearly 30,000 casualties out of 130,000. Among them, the number of soldiers killed was the largest, reaching about 20,000, and more than 9,000 lost their combat power due to injuries.

Originally, these soldiers were somewhat hit by their mood, but as they began to search for spoils after the war, stripping exquisite armor, excellent weapons, and pieces of jewelry from the bodies of those dead and wounded elves, the frustration in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared, and they also felt a little joy of getting rich overnight.

At this time, the wilderness soldiers would not talk to the Drow about battlefield contributions. Everyone only cared about who was quick and grabbed the most spoils, first come first served.

Although in the end, most of these spoils would be taken back by the officers, even if they handed in the spoils, they could get corresponding merits, and they would naturally be rewarded according to their merits after returning to the garrison.

The Drow soldiers were somewhat dissatisfied. Their side had borne the greatest risk, paid the greatest price, and made the most contributions, but they still had to be robbed of a piece of meat from their own mouths by this group of uncivilized barbarians. Anyone would be anxious.

Fortunately, the Drow officers had extremely strong endurance. They had already understood the importance of the wilderness to their federation when formulating the plan. Therefore, even if they themselves had a lot of complaints now, they still tried their best to control their own soldiers, which greatly benefited the Thorns Legion.

This time, Matriarch Penny Le and others invested a lot of money in the cooperation between the Drow and the Thorns Ring, which further demonstrated their sincerity. If a slight disagreement occurred again because of some spoils, I am afraid that before Allen and others became angry, Penny Le and other principals would be the first to jump out and kill the culprit to vent their anger.

The Thorns Ring has long distrusted the Drow. If you want to persuade Allen to lead this army to design the elves together, it is impossible to impress Allen with only a common opponent and interests.

The plan formulated by the Drow matriarchs gave themselves the most risky and intense fighting tasks, while giving the Thorns Coalition the tasks that were relatively less risky and required less effort.

This was not only a condition to gain the trust of the Thorns Ring and persuade them to send troops, but also an attitude to show the Thorns Ring that their Hozier Federation sincerely wanted to settle down in the Northern Territory and was sincerely willing to pay the price to protect the interests of the Northern Territory.

Otherwise, according to the actual combat capabilities, the Thorns Coalition should not be hiding behind the elven army, but should have been used as a means to confuse the elves and kill them from the southeast.

If the Drow's reserve main force had been hiding behind the elves, using them to cover the rear and intercept the elven army, I'm afraid today's battle results would have been even more brilliant, and at least two or three more tens of thousands of elven warriors would have been left behind.

Not to mention the Coldwind Ridge defense battle, the subsequent escape, etc. Those were all pledges of allegiance that the Drow Matrons sent to Allen and other members of the Thorns Ring organization to prove their value and their determination.

Perhaps only at this time could the members of the Thorns Ring understand that the Drow's interests were closely related to theirs, thereby truly accepting them as members of the Northern Territory.

The Drow Matrons had calculated well. Even if their own losses were not small, they would still find ways to make up for it from other aspects. Originally, the other party had helped them, but in the end, the other party would have to feel that they owed them a favor.

Although Allen had not completely seen through the deeper intentions of the Drow Matrons, he was indeed very satisfied and appreciative of this cooperation.

Through this battle, the Thorns Allied Forces had a clear understanding of their own strength, and they would be able to train more purposefully in the future. After experiencing this crushing defeat, the threat of the elves to the Northern Territory would be greatly reduced, at least in the short term.

At the same time, the Drow Federation lost Coldwind Ridge. Before the elven army retreated, or before the Allied Forces arrived, they would probably have to shrink their battle lines and forces, hoarding them in Born City, less than a thousand miles away from Nasir Fortress, allowing the two forces to echo and take care of each other more calmly.

The Drow Legion had no way to compete with the Thorns Allied Forces for spoils. After hastily cleaning up the battlefield, they regrouped under the orders of their respective commanders and began to advance north.

"Matron Peniley, Matron Lillian... what are you still planning?"

High in the sky, Allen saw the actions of both armies below clearly. Seeing the Drow Legion regroup and advance, he couldn't help but ask.

"Ah?"

Following Allen's gaze, Peniley and the others turned their heads and looked down a few times, then replied: "Oh! They are going to scout the elven army again to see their determination to occupy Coldwind Ridge."

"If they are determined to establish a foothold in the Northern Territory, then they should hold on to the dilapidated Coldwind Ridge, and then we will have to step up our defenses after we go back!"

"If they join forces with the troops at Coldwind Ridge and retreat north, it means that their ambition for the Northern Territory is not great, and their main target is still our Federation."

"At least from the other party's reaction, we can judge something and prepare for the next layout."

Peniley smiled and explained to Allen.

"Then I'll have Albard and the others reorganize the team at night and go north with your people."

Allen felt that it made sense when he heard this and took the initiative to cooperate with the other party's actions.

"No need, the battlefield here hasn't been cleaned up yet. The wilderness army can be considered guests anyway, so let them stay and clean up the battlefield!"

Matron Peniley, Lillian and other Matrons shook their heads and replied politely.

Although the other party said it nicely, Allen saw a trace of contempt and sarcasm in the eyes of some of them. Obviously, they were somewhat dismissive of the combat effectiveness displayed by the Thorns Legion before.

Allen himself was actually quite dissatisfied with the performance of the Thorns Allied Forces on the battlefield, but even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't let others look down on the Allied Forces. Moreover, wasn't the purpose of bringing the army thousands of miles away to temper and grow this army in actual combat?

Even if the 130,000 troops were eventually eliminated by less than a third in the final battle, Allen felt that it was acceptable. As long as this army could truly grow in the end, like the 300,000 Allied Forces in the south last time, it would be worth it even if only an elite force survived in the end.

With the current population and development potential of the Thorns Ring, it is not difficult to reorganize an army of more than 100,000, but to create a truly elite force from scratch that can rival the four major civilizations and the Drow is not something that can be achieved by diligent training alone.

Before truly watching an iron army grow and truly feeling the strength of a powerful army, Allen did not believe that his tribe could not cultivate and train an elite army.

However, when he truly saw an elite army, he realized that the so-called strong army of the green fields that he thought he knew was just a joke.

Not to mention far away, just talking about this war, when he calmly beheaded the elven legendary knight commander, he thought that he would be able to wantonly kill in the elven army next.

However, when he really broke into the elven army, whenever he used a big move, a team of brave warriors led by elite knights would always step forward and actively pounce on him. Although hundreds of them often died under his heavy sword, his ultimate move did not achieve the results he wanted.

After killing Besim, the elven commander, Allen also withdrew from the state of divine power. The consumption of faith power brought about by multiple consumption of divine power also made him keenly aware that the spitting efficiency of the seed of faith was much lower, and it was obvious that the reserves of faith power after multiple attempts at divine power were not much.

Thinking about it, it was true. It hasn't been long since he came back from the Centaur Grassland. He already felt the lack of faith power on the grassland. At present, his believers may not be able to add much faith power.

Of course, his greater role in rushing left and right in the elven army was to stir up the opponent's formation and create better opportunities for the warriors of Thorns and Drow to kill the enemy, but in the end, after reviewing it, the actual number of elven warriors who died at his hands was far less than he expected.

This is the strength of an elite army. Even without a legendary knight sitting in command, their legion has its own way of fighting when facing the strong, instead of completely becoming the prey of the other party.

The human legions, which have been in contact for a longer time, are not as strong as the elven army in terms of overall strength, but they also have their own ways to deal with it and their own unique features.

With a reference object, and then compare it with the army of the Northern Territory, the difference between them is clear at a glance.

Therefore, according to Allen's character, since he knows the strength problem of his own army, and at the same time he has mastered how to quickly create a truly elite force, he will naturally put it into action and let the Northern Territory have a truly powerful self-protection force.

When Allen was stationed in the south, he followed the 300,000 wilderness allied forces to invade the human territory, watching how this army eliminated the weak in one tragic battle after another, helping the strong to grow. Although the army suffered more than half of the casualties in the end, it also quickly made this army grow into an existence that was enough to rival the elite human army.

With the lessons learned from the past, Allen doesn't mind using the corpses of wilderness warriors to build a powerful army.

"Our sons of the Northern Territory will not take advantage of others for nothing. If we share the spoils, we will naturally have to pay the corresponding price."

"Therefore, we have no reason to stand idly by when it comes to probing the elven army!"

"Alright, I'll listen to your Excellency's opinion."
