king.

With a "swish" sound, an arrow flew out from the centipede soldiers and directly hit a Demon Crocodile General.

"what!"

Screams rang out, and the nearby Demon Crocodile soldiers became angry instantly after finding out the situation.

A group of homeless dogs dared to stretch their claws towards them, simply looking for death.

"revenge!"

"Revenge is necessary!"

……

Seeing the anger among the Demon Crocodile soldiers, General Centipede's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly ran to the soldier who shot the arrow as fast as he could, and asked sternly: "Who asked you to shoot the arrow?"

Without orders from above, starting a war without permission could be fatal. As a front-line commander, he must share the responsibility.

What answered him was not an explanation, but indifference. The enraged Centipede general slapped him, but the centipede soldier fell down as soon as he touched it.

Taking a closer look, General Centipede was immediately startled. The centipede soldier who fell to the ground had maggots rolling around on his body. He had clearly been dead for many days.

Because they have lived in the underground world all year round, the centipede soldiers have a strong dark aura. In addition, recently, broken soldiers have been gathering here. It is not difficult to temporarily mix in a few manipulated corpses.

"Someone manipulated the corpses and deliberately provoked a conflict between them and the Demon Crocodile Clan!"

Realizing this, General Centipede knew that things were about to get worse, and hurriedly ordered: "Report immediately!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. A demon crocodile with red eyes had already thrown the weapon in his hand at them, completing a two-for-one victory.

After seeing this, the Centipede soldiers were also angry. Before things were clear, the devil crocodiles turned against them and made it clear that they were bullying them.

Just as a group of centipedes were waiting for the general's order, suddenly a group of centipede soldiers who were not afraid of life and death took up weapons and attacked the stationed devil crocodile soldiers.

The conflict escalated too quickly. Before the generals on both sides could intervene, the soldiers below started to fight.

The alliance between the two races was forced out of necessity. The two sides did not have any feelings of alliance, but instead had endless hatred.

When they met on the battlefield, the conflict between the two sides immediately ignited. First there was a firefight in a local area, and soon it spread like a tornado to the entire battlefield.

……

"What, a fight started?"

After receiving this news, King Centipede was furious to death. He has been hesitating until now, mainly because he doesn't want to break up with the Demon Crocodile Clan.

There was no need to hesitate now. Soldiers from both sides had already started fighting. They were stained with each other's blood. The alliance between the two tribes was immediately shattered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guard replied hastily.

The process of initiating the conflict is not important. Anyway, the situation has deteriorated to this point, and there is no possibility of any relaxation between the two communities in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. Hurry up and order the attack!

Before the human army catches up, seize the central passage first and withdraw the troops to the inner earth world to preserve the vitality of the race as much as possible. "

Prime Minister Jawat's statement shocked all Centipede executives. The peace faction suddenly became the war faction. This change of position was too fast.

You must know that these main war factions, after learning about the strength of the Demon Crocodile Clan's garrison, all hesitated about the plan to forcefully break through the pass.

After a brief period of confusion, everyone immediately reacted. Fighting started on the front lines, and with the conflict between the two tribes, it was not just a "misunderstanding" that could make the other side stop.

It is obviously not very reliable to place the safety of the race on the trust of the top leaders of the Demon Crocodile Clan.

If there is no better choice, then we can only go to the dark side. What they need is to fight their way out, not to annihilate all the enemy forces. The success rate is still 50% or 60%.

"Send the order, and the whole army will attack to seize the center of the earth channel!"

King Centipede ordered with a hint of fear.

The situation did not allow him to hesitate. The human army was only a day and a half away from them. If they could not quickly seize the passage and evacuate, their fate would be destruction.

……

In the Demon Crocodile Camp, guard Bram smiled disdainfully after receiving the news that the giant centipede was attacking.

"Look, you know that those stinking centipedes have no brains. A group of defeated soldiers dared to attack us.

Send an order to all troops to fight back fiercely. Let these idiots understand who is..."

Before he finished speaking, something unexpected happened in the handsome camp. The Demon Crocodile soldiers guarding the outside suddenly fell to the ground, and four Giant Centipede Sanctuary appeared directly in front of them.

"Enemy attack!"

After the early warning was issued, all the demon crocodile generals fled in all directions. Being infiltrated into the camp by the enemy and finding the headquarters accurately, no one else was so lucky.

After receiving the call for help, the two Demon Crocodile Sanctuary who stayed behind immediately became furious, clearly not taking them seriously.

It is indeed difficult to fight two against four, but this is their central camp, and with the cooperation of the soldiers in the camp, the two sides fight equally well.

The aftermath of the battle quickly razed the commander's camp to the ground, and the flying commander's flag was not spared.

The sudden change confused many devil crocodile soldiers.

Knowing that the commander's camp had been attacked, the generals did not bother to wait for orders and immediately led their troops to participate in the battle.

Bram, who was lucky enough to escape, stopped panting after being several miles away from the battlefield.

Just when he was about to mobilize his troops, the battlefield was already in chaos.

Each unit participates in the battle instinctively, and the cooperation and coordination between them depends entirely on the consciousness of the soldiers.

Team after team of messengers were constantly shuttled across the chaotic battlefield. When the military orders would be delivered, it all depended on luck.

The chaos in the Demon Crocodile Camp provided opportunities for the Giant Centipedes. Unfortunately, the centipede army was also out of shape at this time.

Weapons and armor have long been lost, and many soldiers go to the battlefield with improvised wooden sticks, relying solely on the obsession of "going home".

There is a strong enemy in front, and there are pursuers behind.

If the passage to the center of the earth cannot be captured, the only way left for the Giant Foot Centipede is destruction.

"Don't hold back, the whole army presses forward together!

Either defeat the enemy and fight all the way back to your hometown, or bury your bones here today! "

After saying that, King Centipede personally led the guards to charge.

Stimulated by this, the morale of the centipede army instantly rose, and they roared and launched a charge.

……

In the clouds, he saw the two armies fighting hard and lurked to watch the battle, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

As expected, the worship group is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

I originally thought that provoking a conflict between the two parties would cause a lot of trouble, but in the end, a few corpses completed the task.

Of course, the two sides can quickly clash, and psychedelic magic also plays a big role.

The instigation was so obvious that it was inevitable to leave traces.

If the situation were different, the senior generals on both sides would definitely find something was wrong and send people to investigate the cause of the conflict.

The Demon Crocodile Tribe is different from the Giant Foot Centipede. They are originally feuding. From the grandfathers to the grandchildren, the hatred continues.

If there is no external enemy, they will fight on their own.

Even if there is a union, it is forced by the situation and there is no basis for trust between the two parties.

Any spark will ignite this powder keg.

The strategic goal was achieved, and Hudson decisively left. The next step is to leave enough space to allow the two races to fight.

Whether it is the Demon Crocodile Clan defeating the Giant Foot Centipede, or the Giant Foot Centipede destroying the Demon Crocodile Army and finding a way home, it is acceptable.

"Where are the Demon Crocodile Clan's reinforcements now?"

After returning to the camp, Hudson asked.

Compared with the enemy forces in Yangguan County who fell into the scheme, the main force of the Demon Crocodile Clan was the focus of his attention.

The coalition's victory along the way also came at a price.

The march speed was slowed down, on the one hand to allow time to clear out the remaining enemies, and on the other hand to wait for the delivery of strategic materials from the rear. The army captured a lot of daily supplies such as food, but consumables such as magic crystals, arrows, and magic lamps were in urgent need of replenishment.

Compared with ordinary armies, the two countries' coalition forces led by Hudson consumed supplies much faster.

If we completely count on the Hessians, there is no need to go to war. Logistics alone can destroy them.

It's not that the Hessian Kingdom is deliberately holding back, it's mainly because they have too many fronts, and people from all over the country are reaching out to the royal government.

Limited strategic resources must be supplied to multiple battlefields at the same time, and the share allocated to the coalition forces cannot satisfy the consumption of the large army.

Against this background, the logistics supply of the coalition forces became jointly provided by the Southeast Province and the Kingdom of Hesse.

Of course, all strategic materials provided by the Southeast Province need to be discounted.

After the war is over, both sides will have to conduct a material inventory, and they will replenish as much as they need.

"Marshal, the demon crocodile army is advancing very fast, with almost no delays along the way.

It is expected to enter the Parma Province tomorrow and reach Yangguan County in three days at the latest.

Counting the time, by the time we finish dealing with the enemies here, they will just be able to hold off the battlefield! "

Earl Pierce said with a smile.

It can be seen that he has a very big appetite. Not only does he want to swallow the two enemy troops that have entered the urn, he also wants to swallow the reinforcements of the Demon Crocodile Clan in one bite.

"Since the enemy is about to arrive, let the army stop advancing!"

The turning point order immediately confused everyone.

Ever since they knew that the enemy was dog-eating dog and playing cannibalism, everyone planned to wait until both sides were injured and then go up and kill them all.

Hudson's new order obviously did not follow everyone's preset plan.

Once the army stops advancing, even if the giant foot centipede and the devil crocodile defenders decide the winner, it will be difficult for them to pounce on them immediately and add insult to injury.

"Marshal, if we don't take action immediately, it won't be so easy to seize the geocentric passage after the enemy's reinforcements arrive!"

Marquis Simonyi said slightly awkwardly.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to jump out and question Hudson. Past experience has proven that Hudson's military orders were never without purpose.

But as the commander-in-chief of the Hessian army, he must be responsible for the soldiers under his command, and even more responsible for the kingdom.

He would be the first to take responsibility for any problems that occurred if he followed the orders in a daze.

"It doesn't matter, our strategic goal is to destroy the enemy, and the geocentric channel is just an accessory.

It's best if you can control it in your hands. Don't be discouraged if you can't get it. As long as the strategic goals are achieved, the side effects are not worth mentioning. "

It is impossible to explain, and it is not to train subordinates for yourself, so there is no need to explain things too clearly.

If you can understand it, it is because God has given you food, and you are born to be suitable for the battlefield.

I couldn't understand his intention, so I went back and thought about it slowly.

As a coach, you don’t need to make everyone understand your intentions.

……

As he accelerated his march, the Demon Crocodile King felt anxious, fearing that the enemy's cavalry would suddenly jump out and cause trouble.

There was the disastrous case of the Giant Foot Centipede, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Looking at the improvised horse-rejecting stake, the Demon Crocodile King asked Venerable Lucille with a puzzled face:

"Your Majesty, just a few pieces of wood can restrain the enemy's cavalry?"

The plan to deal with the cavalry was given by the Stonemen. They chose to build horse-repelling stakes because they were simple to make and did not have any technical content.

It is precisely because of the lack of technical content that the Demon Crocodile King feels unsure.

According to his understanding, it should be quite troublesome to deal with such a powerful unit as the cavalry.

"Your Majesty, these things can only play a certain role. It is best to choose the crossbow + pike formation to resist the cavalry attack.

You have also seen the power of magic crossbows. If there are thousands of magic crossbows, coupled with an army of spearmen, they will definitely be able to block the enemy's cavalry.

Of course, these are passive defense methods. If you want to destroy the enemy's cavalry, it is best to use cavalry.

These things are too far away from you. After defeating the enemy and stabilizing the situation, it is not too late to think about it again! "

Venerable Lucille replied calmly.

He had only heard of large-scale cavalry battles, but had never really experienced them.

The number of cavalry in the Alpha Kingdom increased after occupying a large area of ​​grassland.

It was precisely because they had the most high-quality pasture among the human nations that the cost of raising war horses was reduced, and cavalry appeared in the army on a large scale.

It is unimaginable in other countries for a province to randomly pull out tens of thousands of cavalry, plus a few full-scale knights.

Because war horses take a long time to be raised, this benefit is currently only enjoyed by the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom and has not yet been exported to the outside world on a large scale.

The countries in the Central Continent are still dominated by infantry, so the Stoneman Kingdom naturally has no chance to witness the charge of tens of thousands of human cavalry.

The tactics used to deal with cavalry are also stuck in the past.

Generally speaking, if the enemy can dispatch five or six thousand cavalry, it is already a big battle.

Lagging experience is better than none at all. Taking it out to fool these demonic crocodiles, Venerable Lucille didn't panic at all.

After a pause, Venerable Lucille immediately added: "These methods are only limited to ordinary cavalry.

When encountering the enemy's Warcraft Legion, small methods such as blocking horse stakes and trapping horses have no effect.

Only the magic crossbow + spearman formation can play a certain role. The conditions are not ripe now, so be careful when dealing with them. "

The answer almost made people vomit blood. The angry Demon Crocodile King could hardly control his emotions and wanted to fall out on the spot.

There was also a sworn assurance before: with the help of the Stonemen, the enemy's cavalry is not a problem.

After only a few days, the style of painting changed suddenly.

There was no point in getting angry. Venerable Lucille was sincere and told him the whole truth directly without digging any holes in it.

The previous guarantee was for the cavalry of the Hessian Kingdom, not the cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom.

The opponent has changed, and the original plan cannot be guaranteed to be 100% reliable.

No matter whether it works or not, at least a new plan is given.

It's just that the Demon Crocodile Army doesn't have that many magic crossbows, and they haven't practiced military formations against cavalry, so the new plan was aborted.

"Send the order and ask Marshal Kanter to expand the scope of investigation and beware of enemy cavalry sneak attacks!"

The Demon Crocodile King immediately ordered.

It is related to the safety of the earth's core channel. No matter how high the risk is, it must be taken.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

"Those damn centipedes took advantage of our unpreparedness and suddenly launched an attack on the defenders at the center of the earth. They are fighting fiercely at the moment!"

Upon hearing this bad news, the Demon Crocodile King was instantly stunned.

Although I knew that Giant Foot Centipede, a pig teammate, was a scam, I never expected that they would be able to trick them to this extent.

Not fighting the enemy, but attacking their ally, is simply the pinnacle of pig teammates.

At the entrance to the center of the earth, they also deployed many magic crystal cannons. If it weren't for the alliance between the two races, even the giant centipede would not be able to get close.

It was a close fight from the beginning, and the long-range strike capability of the magic crystal cannon was directly reduced to a decoration.

Just think about the consequences!

After being tormented by the giant foot centipede, the originally impregnable defense line of the earth's center channel was directly turned into junk.

With the giant-footed centipede's style, once they break through the defense line, they will definitely attack the earth's core passage after returning to the inner earth world.

Even if the defenders block their attack and the human army is following them, the Earth Core Passage is still in danger.
