Chapter 62 Spider Web Monthly Pass)

Egil's speech described the forest elves as a barbaric and backward cannibalism.

It successfully aroused the disgust of the generals towards this tribe. In fact, let’s talk about the two things that cannibalize people but not people. The social form, organizational structure and technical level of forest elves are indeed in the state of primitive tribes.

They used the blood-kind tribe as their organizational structure, and only had very simple and rough iron-smelting ability, which was almost the same as the level of the late Greek society, when humans transitioned from the Bronze Age to the Black Iron Age. They did not know how to farm, and made a living by fishing, hunting and collecting wild fruits. The clothes they wore were usually made of nitro animal skins, simple and primitive animal skin clothes. It was nothing wrong to say that they were primitive tribes.

However, the combat power of this primitive tribe is really a headache. If Egil led his army and plunged into it like Artoria, even if he could win in the end, the loss would be very large.

In fact, if we do not look at other aspects of consultation and discuss it from a strategic perspective, Egil would rather use the method of siege to trap the forest elves in the forest. However, things are not that simple. Artoria had previously appeared, and if she lost, she would lose. However, this time it was Egil who was personally directed. The dignified Norman Emperor could not afford to lose that person. Egil's reputation determined that Egil had to solve the battle cleanly and beautifully in a short period of time. Even if it was delayed a little longer, it would have detrimental to his reputation.

"In addition, I do have more important things to do. Forest elves are just scabies, and the ancient natural disasters are the biggest dangers." Egil used this sentence as a summary to end the speech. He set the battle on the tone of a quick battle. Then he asked: "Everyone, are there anything else to add?" The people who came came smiled bitterly in their hearts. The positive and negative ones were finished. What else could he say?

"Since there is nothing to say, then go and prepare. We will enter the Wales area tomorrow." After Egil said, "A meeting was over." The generals who were in charge of the army saluted and left in a hurry. After Egil introduced the strength of the forest elves, the generals were all stern. Especially Robin Hood, who was born with a profession, was almost unblocked when he walked out. It seemed that he was preparing to compete with the forest elves' ranger slasher in the Welsh mountains.

I don’t know what the result is, it’s really exciting. The next day, on September 17, the Norman Empire’s vanguard troops slowly entered the Wales area.

The army opened the road and met the water to build bridges. The speed of travel was slow. Egil did not intend to advance. Instead, he sent heavy troops and engineers to set up camp fortresses and beacon towers. Such a simple camp could not increase much defense, but for forest elves without weapons of attack, it was like an indestructible fortress.

The Normandao heavy soldiers built the fort into a sixteen-sided shape, and each corner was erected a lookout tower that was taller than the surrounding trees. Cut off the trees around the fort, dig the trenches, and install sharpened wooden stakes in the trenches as obstacles. Egil sent another eighty Norman infantry and twenty crossbowmen to station them. This battalion is basically foolproof. Unless the opponent concentrates more than five times the force to attack, and pays a large amount of casualties, and the time required will not be less.

During this period, enough soldiers lit the beacon tower and asked for help from the surrounding areas.

In this way, the vanguard of the Norman army was divided into three routes, from the forested areas in southeast Wales.

The three vanguards marched for more than 40 kilometers, leaving six solid wooden forts. The next day, the three vanguards separated again and formed six routes, continuing to advance northwest, leaving twelve wooden forts. On the third day, the six vanguards spread out and became twelve routes, leaving twenty-four wooden forts...

The entire Wales area is only 20,000 square kilometers. Now 1 in northern Wales

The area with the fortress Kanafeng as its foundation is under the control of the Kingdom of Britain. The main area where forest elves are active is in southern Wales, in a forest centered on Mount Brecon. The total amount is less than 10,000 square kilometers. The Norman Emperor was vicious. In a few days, a simple fortress was developed in southern Wales. Each wooden fort can radiate dozens of square kilometers of territory. One side was attacked and ignited the beacon smoke, so that the surrounding troops could come to support it. The fortresses were connected layer by layer, forming blockade lines.

Relying on this, the Norman army gradually expanded patrol territory around them. Once they encountered a suitable place, they established a branch of watchtowers again.

In this way, the Norman army gradually advanced to the north, but there was no room for activity for the forest elves. The sneak attacks, surprise attacks, ambushing and other operations that the forest elves were familiar with were all useless.

He wanted to break the Normans' food route, but was hindered by the layers of towers and castles. He could not move at all.

"It's like a spider, slowly weaving a huge net that kills people..." At that time, after the scout sent by the forest elves came back, they reported to the elders in the clan: "The other party's soldiers are very alert. They will shoot arrows there if there is any slight movement. Although their crossbows are not as fast as our longbow design, they are much more powerful. And they will stand guard in three shifts every night, and they can hardly find any flaws.

In another forest elves tribe, some other scouts reported the situation: "The other party's rod wielder was very timid, and his main force moved forward with such fortresses. He never went forward too much. In the process of establishing these camps, they first sent scouts to investigate some elite archers (Sherwood Shooters) who were comparable to our soldiers. Then they sent a small group of troops to escort the craftsmen forward and build the camp. I think, can we take this opportunity to attack?" The elders of the forest elves discussed with each other, thinking that the other party might have other preparations. When raiding their craftsmen and small group of troops, their large troops would probably react quickly and come to support. It would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

After discussing all these things, the elves and elders stopped talking, turned their heads, and looked at the person who had not spoken in the direction of his hand.

"Indeed, what the elders said makes sense. The other party's commander this time is quite not simple. Just look at the strategy he implemented, which is completely aimed at the shortcomings of our lack of ability in tackling difficulties and limits our range of activities. In this way, he is even more difficult to deal with than the Queen of Britain." After the man said this, he changed his subject: "However, if we do nothing and stay like this, it would be even worse. It would be suicide. So, even if the other party is prepared, I think we should try to attack." "So, what do you want to do?" asked the elder in the clan.

"If you fight head-on, it will not work. But in the forest area, if you compare speed, no one can defeat us. Or is it the old way to divide the army into small units and attack the other party. Don't fight in love and no matter if you win or lose, you must evacuate quickly. That's it." Hearing what the elf said, the elders in the clan discussed for a while again. When they finally reached an agreement, they calmed down again. They said to the elf: "We came to the conclusion that you are the most powerful warrior in our tribe and the best military leader.

Since you say such words, you will definitely bring us victory. We are the largest tribe of the forest elves, with a total of 4,000 warriors in the tribe. Choose the best one hundred and go with you." Hearing the elder say such words, the elf breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, saluted the elders, and retreated without saying a word. After leaving the dim conference room, the sun shone on him through the yellow leaves and branches, showing his figure that was much taller than ordinary elves.

The elf warrior is burly and has thick and powerful joints on his hands. He is dressed with a dark yellow cloak decorated with dead branches and leaves, with black, green, and yellow paint painted on his face, and there is no decoration around his waist, simple longbows and a long sword made of Huawei's scabbards with simple leather.

After the elf warrior walked out of the long house, all the elves, men, women, young and old, greeted him enthusiastically. The respectful eyes of his companions and the shy eyes of the girls all covered him. It was just because he was the strongest warrior in this tribe. In several battles with the British Kingdom, he led the alliance of various tribes of the forest elves and defeated the leaders of the powerful kingdom.

The great elf warrior politely returned gifts and greeted his tribesmen, stopped from time to time, and chatted with others. As he walked more and more, the elves gradually realized where he wanted to go. The elders smiled implicitly and encouragingly. The companions also congratulated him, shouting loudly, asking him when to hold the wedding. The girls left disappointedly, and silently wished him happiness while feeling sad. In this way, with the encouragement and blessings of everyone, the warrior mustered up the courage to come to the window of the girl who had been in love with him for a long time. He shouted to the girl inside: "Tomorrow, I will lead the army to fight! I have decided to marry you when I come back!"!
