Chapter 471: A defensive battle that does not rely on city walls
"Putting aside those powerful titled knights, I'm afraid our biggest headache right now is how to defend the walls of the Elven Courtyard."
Xiuman habitually stretched out his right hand and waved, intending to ask for a cup of black tea with lavender.
But when he found that his maid was not around, he put his hand down in disappointment.
He cleared his throat and continued.
“This elven city is far too large for our current number.
After all, this is a city with a population of 30,000.
To defend the city wall here, we need at least 5,000 soldiers..."
Xiuman turned his gaze to Ivan and glanced at Labelas who had remained silent.
The silver-haired old elf is now considered the diplomatic representative of the elven pantheon.
According to Xiuman's idea, if the powerful ones among these elven gods have the ability to fight against a thousand alone, perhaps this defensive battle can still be won.
"I can guess what you're thinking, young human."
Labelas gave a slight gesture, then gave Xiuman a look of regret.
"Although most of the elven gods have begun to get used to the plane suppression, as for those who have combat capabilities...
I'm afraid there are only three or five people who can barely possess the ability to approach the level of legend.
More elf gods——I’m afraid they can’t even be called professionals now.”
What the silver-haired old elf said was very pertinent, but it made everyone else present frown.
There is a huge gap between the legendary rank and the level below legendary.
If a high-level warrior like Hejia faces ordinary soldiers, it is no problem for him to fight against twenty or thirty of them at the same time.
When you take advantage of terrain, you will be able to fight against more enemies.
However, a legendary warrior, even without relying on any terrain, can rely on his strong physical fitness and martial arts to fight in a team of thousands of people.
This is also the reason why the legendary Seventh Knight was able to massacre half of the city of mountain dwarves.
But even so, after fighting against thousands of people at the same time, the legend will fall into his own period of fatigue.
If there is no means of protection, I am afraid that several high-level professionals can easily kill it.
The power system of the main plane is indeed not that outrageous.
From this point of view, the existing strength of the elven pantheon is only capable of resisting the attack of three to five thousand people.
"If we add the forces of the Gith and the druids—
Damn!
This can only deal with 7,000 to 8,000 people at most, and that’s assuming those giant tree people are included…”
The more Shuman analyzed, the more discouraged he became.
He began to regret why he had acted rashly and led the Gis people to stand against the Knights of the Kingdom.
At this moment, even Labelas, who was a god, began to frown.
I can’t beat them, no matter how I try.
However, Lian, who has always been carefree, did not notice that everyone's expressions were wrong.
She also planned to take back the chewing potato that had given up struggling in the old elf's hand while he was not paying attention.
Xiling saw through her sister's mischievous plan at a glance.
She easily pinched little Lian's neck with her hands and lifted the little girl to the back.
"Ah! Sister!
Don't tickle my neck...it's itchy!
This is my weak spot!"
Key points——
Ivan, who had been silent, suddenly had an idea.
He supported himself on the long table with both hands and stood up.
"Xuman, do you understand the command system of this unit?
In other words, who is the highest commander of the Kingdom Knights? "
"It should be a command composed of centurions who are good at strategy..."
Xiuman didn't react for a moment and answered subconsciously.
But as soon as he said that, he understood what Alvin was planning.
"Wait, you can't be..."
"That's right, decapitation operation!
We can send an elite team to infiltrate the Kingdom Knights and mark their command system with magic.
Then, we can use the Gis method to carry out ultra-long-range precision strikes."
"Wait... could you please stop saying that?
How did you, an uneducated and uneducated second-generation dandy, come up with so many new words?"
The young Lord of Huiyao City looked at his childhood playmate in surprise.
He knew very well what Alvin was capable of.
This guy's tactical command ability is evident from the fact that when he was a child, he broke into the women's bathhouse and lifted someone else's curtain, and was chased and beaten by several older sisters.
Lian, who was being strangled by Xiling, glanced at Xiuman with disgust.
"Tsk...he's still a city lord.
My brother-in-law has put it so bluntly, just rush in and kill those guys who are giving orders!"
"Is that what he meant?"
Xiuman didn't like this impetuous little girl and retorted without any hesitation.
Then he left aside the short half-elf who was about to compete with Xuman with his eyes wide open, and turned his head to continue asking Ivan.
“I don’t know much about Gith magic.
Even if we can disrupt the enemy commander in this way, how can we deal with their main force?
Every centurion of the Kingdom's Knights has received at least five years of military training.
The death of their commander will not stop them from attacking.
Besides, the walls of the Elf Courtyard are too long..."
"Who said I was going to fight in the Elven Courtyard?"
Ivan looked at Xiuman with a smile, then nodded at Xiling.
The half-elf lady put her sister down, understood what she meant, and used [Tree Shaping] on a wooden root under the shade of the tree.
A scaled-down sand table of the haze forest terrain just grew out like that.
"It's really... a magical skill!"
Xiuman looked at Xiling and praised her without reservation.
To be precise, this was the first time that Xiuman had seen such a lifelike terrain model.
Labelas, who had already seen this spell, seemed unresponsive.
But his soul trembled noticeably a few times.
[Rillifane, you are right.
The spells of these two half-elves already have the characteristics of Alvin's divine power.
We witnessed the birth of a strange god who was neither a native god nor a deity...】
The old skeleton Rillifane, whose whereabouts were unknown, responded to Labelas' call immediately.
[That's right, old friend, although my relationship with Corellon has never been good, I still trust his vision very much.
That old man wouldn't put his divine consciousness on this human kid for no reason. 】
