The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

Because they knew that the foreign coalition army was chasing after them, and they couldn't stay in this place for a few days at all.

Even after the fight, they had already entered a state of 'running away'.

There is no need for a foreign coalition army to press down on the border. After learning that the other party has arrived nearby, Delk has already evacuated ahead of time with his troops.

On the other hand, although the foreign coalition army has won consecutive battles, it gives people the feeling that the more they fight, the more anxious they are.

In fact, everyone knows what they are anxious about.

The dark elf army has been retreating, but everyone can see that they are just buying time and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

And the further they retreated, the closer the reinforcements were to them.

Once they join the reinforcements, the victory that the foreign coalition army has firmly grasped will have to change again. How can they not be in a hurry?

More and more cities were occupied by them, and soon, nearly four-fifths of the entire continent had fallen into their hands.

Logically speaking, this should be because the situation is going well.

But at this moment, the foreign coalition army has no sense of security at all.

Everyone knows that the next wave is very important.

If the army of dark elves can't be killed now, then they will be the only ones who will be killed in the future!

Looking across the sky, one of the foreign officers directly kicked the stone next to him.

"Grass! From the beginning to the end, we have not been able to catch up with them a few times. It is obvious that we are being watched by the Harpy on the opposite side. We chase them, and they run all night. We stop, and they rest."

"Then what can you do? We don't have air units, it's a flaw."

The one who spoke at this time was an officer from another camp within the coalition forces.

While speaking, the officer subconsciously glanced at the sky.

To be honest, he didn't see anything.

But there is a harpy watching them, which is almost a sure fact. After all, no one is a fool. After a long time, anyone can guess it.

If you can't see them, it's because they fly high enough, or they hide directly in the clouds.

"Divide the troops!"

"what?"

"I said divide the troops and act!"

"The harpies in the sky can also monitor us separately."

"That's better than getting together and letting them watch more conveniently!"

"..."

Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with it.

"And, I have an idea, call everyone over."

Accompanied by the utterance of these words, several officers representing their respective camps in the foreign coalition army quickly gathered together, and after a brief discussion, they formally decided to divide the troops into action.

The army of dark elves and those remnants and defeated soldiers of Europa are already at the end of their battles.

On the other hand, even if they act separately, they can still maintain a considerable combat power, not to mention that they can keep in touch at any time through the radio communication equipment on the radar vehicle.

Even if something happens, everyone can support each other as soon as possible.

This is a major advantage of technological development!

In this way, the entire combined army was officially dispersed.

After that, the whole news quickly reached Delk's ears through Harpy's eyeliner.

At that time, Delk was camping and resting on a relatively flat terrain with his army.

The moment he confirmed the news, his two eyebrows furrowed visibly.

In the past, when the foreign coalition forces gathered in one place to carry out operations, he only needed to confirm the information in one place, and then he could make corresponding arrangements.

But now, the situation has obviously changed.

Depending on the distance, it is impossible for the information to be delivered at the same time.

This greatly reduced Delk's decision-making efficiency, and he had to wait until the last piece of information was delivered before he could make a correct decision.

After realizing this, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, his premonition soon began to take effect, and just at the beginning, the various foreign armies that were acting separately began to block him.

After confirming the news of the harpies, the foreign army chasing after them stopped their pursuit and prepared to set up camp to rest.

In the past, after receiving the news, they were able to relax relatively.

But the problem is that the harpy who was in charge of watching the other foreign armies rushed back one after another, telling him that the other foreign armies were still chasing...

However, this was not over yet. Immediately afterwards, another harpies rushed back and told him that the foreign army that was preparing to set up camp before suddenly changed its mind and started a rapid march...

Every piece of news made Delk's eye muscles twitch.

Don't doubt, this is the method used by the joint army of foreign countries.

At this moment, Delk only felt that his entire head had grown to the size of two.

On the side of the foreign coalition army, all kinds of stop and go, temporary changes of mind, at least they have the dominant power, so as not to mess themselves up.

On the other hand, on Delk's side, they were on the passive side, and now they were very uncomfortable. After being tortured for several days, all the soldiers under their command were also suffering unspeakably.

At this point, the morale of the army is not good, relying on the "coming reinforcements" to hold on to that little hope, and the morale value is barely stuck at the passing line of [-] points.

And after being tossed like this for a while, the morale of the entire army dropped to more than 50 points several times, falling into a state of 'depressed morale'. If it drops further, it will be 'broken'!

This can be said to have completely sounded the alarm for Delk.

It is impossible to go on like this, the opponent undoubtedly saw through their tactics, and then stabbed him with a 'soft knife' mercilessly.

According to this momentum, they who are in a passive state, can't they be tossed to death?

With this in mind, after taking a deep breath, Delk also formally made up his mind.

Regardless of whether the foreign troops behind were chasing or stopping, they withdrew to the fortress closest to them as quickly as possible.

Then try to get a few days of rest as much as possible, and see if you can take advantage of the defensive side of the fortress to fight against the opponent!

Chapter 1744, Deployment

For the Dark Elf soldiers and Europa soldiers who haven't had much rest, the continuous high-intensity march is simply hell.

Fortunately, at least this hell can come to an end.

Looking at the well-regulated fortress in front of him, even Derk felt relieved.

"finally reached……"

Leaving the minimum number of soldiers on duty, after Derk led the army into the fort, the first thing he did was to rest. They were so tired that they didn't even want to eat, they just wanted to fall asleep.

On the other side, the foreign armies who obviously didn't know that Derk had brought the army and arrived at the fort at the fastest speed were undoubtedly still continuing their strategy.

The advantage of this strategy is that they can be used as usual even if they don't know what the enemy's situation is.

But relatively, this is also a weakness.

Unaware that the dark elf army has entered the fortress, the foreign coalition army will undoubtedly play tricks on the atmosphere in their next series of operations.

And in this whole process, it will inevitably slow down their marching efficiency to a certain extent.

It can only be said that the level of investigative ability determines which of them will suffer the big loss.

On the other side, inside the fortress, Delk, who had slept soundly, asked the guards to wake him up at nine o'clock in the morning.

If he continues to sleep, according to the fatigue he has accumulated in the past few days, he may be able to sleep until dark and not wake up.

But anyone who has some experience knows that this kind of sleeping method does not actually have a very good effect on the recovery of fatigue.

In many cases, sleeping too long will make you feel more tired when you wake up.

So forcefully wake up, eat something, then start working, and then continue to sleep at night. This kind of recovery effect is better.

After a night of rest, the morale of the dark elf army after a long journey has recovered, at least now it has returned to the qualifying line.

Next, although the food situation is relatively tight, Delk obviously does not plan to save money for this meal.

They couldn't take it any longer.

In other words, the battle a few days later is inevitable.

So what they need to do now is to restore the soldiers under their command as much as possible!

"How is the magic power of the mages recovering?"

Although mages tend to be auxiliary professions in the army of the dark elves, no one can deny that they still occupy a pivotal position.

Once the battle starts, if they can get magic support, it will be of great help to the entire battle situation.

However, it is well known how slow the natural recovery rate of mana is.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the non-stop retreat, even if the dark elf mages managed to recover a little bit of mana, they would soon use it up to get rid of the pursuit of the foreign coalition army.

This made it difficult for them to accumulate mana.

But in the recent period, this kind of consumption has been basically avoided.

During the retreat, the mages who were weak in physical fitness also carried transport vehicles for transfer throughout the entire process.

Although the car was bumpy, it would be no problem for an experienced mage to meditate and recover in the car. It stands to reason that after this trip, he should have recovered a little. This is the main reason why Delk asked this question.

"Report to the general, my subordinates just went to confirm that the mana recovery status of the junior mages can basically support them to cast three first-level spells, and those middle-level mages with deeper cultivation bases are already capable of casting two spells." Tier [-] spells, but if you want to cast Tier [-] spells, you are still very reluctant."

Derk, who confirmed this situation, nodded.

This is something that can’t be helped, after all, time is limited, if they play again after a year or so, they will definitely recover better, but the problem is that it is impossible.

Originally, if there were magic crystals, it would also speed up the mana recovery speed of the dark elf mages. However, the Marauder Ballista also had to consume magic crystals. All the magic crystals in their army had been exhausted as early as in the previous battle. used up……

At this moment, there is quite a sense of the end of the road.

"Order, during this time, no one is allowed to disturb the mage troops to meditate, let them recover with all their strength!"

"Yes!"

After ordering one thing, Delk strode outside and began to confirm some fortifications in the fortress.

Needless to say, the outer trenches and barriers, the defensive cannons of the human army are also fixed on the fortresses of the fortress. At the same time, the warehouse is also full of ammunition. more than a month of consumption.

This makes Delk basically not have to worry about the ammunition of the human race. In comparison, whether they can survive the offensive of the foreign coalition army for another three months is a question...

"Colonel, can you place all the cannons we brought over on the fort?"

At this moment, the human colonel standing in front of Delk is basically the highest-ranking officer in the Europa army, and during the battle, the Europa army is also under the command of this colonel.

After all, Delk only knows some things about the human army, but if he really wants to command, he will definitely not be more familiar with it than the human army's own officers.

Now back to the topic, before Delk made this proposal, Colonel Europa had undoubtedly visited the area where the forts were arranged in the fortress, and now faced with this question, he answered quickly...

"General, on the fortress, the location and number of forts have been carefully arranged. Basically, the optimal configuration has been achieved."

Having said that, Colonel Europa breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke again...

"If we increase the number of defensive cannons, it will probably make the upper area a bit congested, which will easily lead to lower operational efficiency. At the same time, once the battle situation is chaotic, there is a high possibility of operational errors above."

Hearing this, Delk frowned slightly...

"So, we can't continue to increase the defensive firepower, can we?"

"Well, not really."

While speaking, Colonel Europa took a few steps outside, and Delk followed subconsciously.

After walking to the trench area, I saw Colonel Europa pointing to an area and making gestures...

"In fact, we can choose to transform this barrier, flatten this layer, put the defensive cannons behind, open up here, and let the barrels stick out. Although it is difficult to aim and the cost-effectiveness is not high, but To a certain extent, it can still form an effective firepower strike against the enemy rushing forward."

"But the troublesome part now is that such a transformation, even if it is a little rough, will probably take several days. If we are halfway through the transformation, the enemy will kill us, then it will be troublesome."

Colonel Europa's concerns, Delk can undoubtedly understand, but in the current situation, for stronger defensive firepower, this risk is still worth taking!

"Colonel, I think it is necessary to fight hard. I will leave the transformation to you!"
