méngméng drizzle.

Before, the weather was clear and suddenly drizzled. The rain was not very heavy. It stopped after about half an hour. However, it made the road more wet. Half-spirited roads were not built. All the way between their villages was the kind of primitive dirt roads, which would become quite muddy when it rained.

The battlefield was very open and there was nothing to guard against except for the dense woods everywhere.

This made Murphy, who had observed the nearby terrain, because if there was no terrain advantage, it would be difficult for these semi-jing spirit troops to withstand the first attack of the Lizardman. The open terrain means that the Lizardman can invest more troops on the battlefield, which is undoubtedly more unfavorable to the semi-jing spirit who is not good at facing large-scale wars.

Should we retreat into the dense forest and engage in a thorough battle with the lizardmen?

In such a dense forest, it can be said that any command is a floating cloud. Whether it is a lizardman or a semi-jing spirit, they can only enter the most primitive war. In this kind of war, the advantage of semi-jing spirit's agility is actually exerted. Relying on long swords, bows and terrain, they can enter a stalemate battle with the lizardman. But in the war, the lizardman can also rely on his natural physical advantage to penetrate the defense line that almost does not exist. As long as the commander of the lizardman has a certain military ability to strategically see, he can easily divide and surround the semi-jing spirits entering the war and eliminate them one by one.

Moreover, this kind of jungle battle can only consume the enemy's strength and delay time, but cannot win.

Moreover, this kind of combat method has a huge weakness

That is, if the lizardman put a big fire in this dense woods, the continuous fire would burn everything to ashes.

……………………

Whether it can block the attack of the Lizardman or whether to retreat into the dense forest next, Murphy believes that one thing must be done, that is, you must snipe the Lizardman's vanguard force here once, and you must also win.

This is not only a matter of winning the results, but more importantly, it is to inspire the morale of the entire army.

Athens naturally did not need to boost morale, but if these temporary half-jingling troops were not won by a victory, they would probably be more difficult to fight in the war.

"Take me to see His Highness, King Jingling NV." Looking at the wet soil on the ground, Murphy suddenly said to Artoria beside him thoughtfully.

On the strategic map page of the "Total War" auxiliary system, the vanguard of the Lizardman army of about 20,000 people was less than half a day away. The Knights of the Horned Eagle Beast have been monitoring their movements in the sky and conveyed the messages to the hands of everyone through scouts. The movement of the army's main array cannot be very fast, because it has to bring a lot of baggage, so the Lizardman cannot leave behind his food and supplies and rush here.

In half a day, Murphy has already made many arrangements.

Because the Lizardman army was urgently mobilized this time, there were not many troops that turned half-spirited to the north and south defense line this time. The King of NV brought two thousand imperial guards, as well as the gathered town guards, and half-spirit militias who had initially received military training. The total number was about 50,000. If the original garrison on the southern line and the soldiers brought by Murphy, there were a total of about 63,000 people.

The half-jing Ling NV king cannot completely give up the defense of the capital city "Anya" just because the Lizardman army goes south, so she can only lead a part of the "Jing Rui" troops to stop them first, and the remaining troops will come to meet under the leadership of the high-level priest of the Moon God Ailun. For Murphy, the more people it is not a good thing, because the more people the front line collapses, it will be a big collapse without any power, so she agrees with the half-jing Ling NV king.

After arriving at the tent of King Jinling NV, after a simple discussion.

Then, a team of druids came to the front line. They took out some dark yellow powder from their wide cloaks and sprinkled them on the land in front of them. Then they began to sing ancient spells composed of advanced spiritual languages. The power of the element began to move, and a cool wind blew on everyone. Whether it was the Athenian army or the semi-jing spirit army, they looked at the actions of the group of druids curiously. Before the elemental cháoxi started, these druids were severely restricted in their use of spells, because the consumption of casting magic at that time was too great and the power was much smaller. However, after the elemental cháoxi started, the abilities of all spellcasters were increasing, and the druids were naturally no exception.

"What are they doing?" Artoria came to Murphy's side curiously and asked.

"Use magic." Murphy turned around and answered.

Divine art?

Shaonv looked suspicious and asked again: "What magical technique?"

"The 0th level magic activates the soil, the lowest level blessing magic. Its function is to make the land softer and more fertile and easier to plant." Murphy explained patiently.

The druids believe in the NV God of Life, and naturally their divine arts are covered in life and nature.

Basically, most druids are good at agriculture, which is why there has never been a famine in the history of the Jingling tribe, and even food shortages. Because these druids have a large number of low-level magical techniques that can allow crops to grow faster and better. The entry of the druid heritage almost starts with feeling nature, planting plants, and observing the growth process of plants.

Arcane mages once jokingly call those low-level druids - agricultural druids.

Because the scope of the magic technique needs to be covered is wide, even if nearly a hundred druids cast spells at the same time, it took a lot of time. Fortunately, it was a light rain before, and the magic technique was very effective. A piece of land of thirty square meters only needs to be used twice as much as 0 level magic. After the magic technique was completed, a team of half-jing spirits began to fill water from the riverside next to it, and then watered it on the land.

Immediately afterwards.

More than a hundred druids began to join forces to sing, and a violent elemental boom spread, and the elemental energy in the air began to shake.

"Is this?" Artoria never understood what Murphy was going to do and asked without asking.

"The fifth-level magic slug technique can form a five-foot-deep mud on the ground, but the effect will be enhanced and weakened according to the environment. It is a spell that is rarely used, and you should have never seen it." Murphy smiled and replied.

"Are you going to turn this place into a swamp?" Artoria said in surprise, and the stupidity on her head shook.

Murphy was surprised and then smiled and said, "How is that possible?"

"Even if one hundred druids cast spells at the same time, perhaps those high-level jing spirit druids can do it. However, under the power of nature, these briefly formed terrain will also be restored. The environment of the southern plains determines that no swamp will be formed."

"Then are you planning?" Shaonv looked at the busy druids and then asked.

Murphy shook his head and said, "I just turned that area into a mud road. There is no terrain that is beneficial to us nearby, so we can only create it ourselves."

A muddy road?

The young nv immediately understood Murphy’s thoughts.

After the druids finished casting the spell, Murphy walked to the area and observed carefully. The land had turned darker, but because of the cover of the spell, there was no obvious sign of water accumulation, but it looked a little soft and muddy. However, after stepping on it, the soil immediately sank, sinking his entire little tui in the mud.

"Very good" Murphy nodded and finally gave a satisfied smile.

This is not so much a trap, but rather a man-made mud road, just like those mud roads where the potholes will sink half a foot after rain in remote villages. This itself has almost no lethality, and the biggest effect is to slightly hinder the Lizardman's pace. But for Murphy, this effect is enough.

After the druids cast the spell, they began to meditate and rest.

Under the command of General Leodale and the Athenian generals, the half-jingling army began to select taller warriors from them to issue them with Roman long shields, and screened out some of the sharp archer troops, conducting the simplest and easiest military training. Although this trap, which is not a trap, slows down the enemy's movement speed, without the corresponding battle formation cooperation, its lethality will be greatly reduced.

Murphy planned to teach them the simplest battle formation, but they only had half a day to learn.

Half of the personal guards of King Jinling NV, the imperial guards of the palace were also asked by Murphy. Obviously, many soldiers with good equipment were also trained by him and those ordinary soldiers. With these fierce veterans, these temporarily recruited ordinary soldiers should be able to master this formation faster, at least not to produce them during the battle.

To win

This first battle must be played beautifully, and it must be a big victory, a big victory that has not been won by Jing Lingshu before

Only such high morale can support the hard war ahead.
