Tauren Overlord

121. Proactive High Elves

Di Yao couldn’t understand why the adventurer became like this?

In the stories she heard in her childhood, adventurers in the Kingdom Age were a group of people who cared more about honor than money.

Although they have an infinite desire for treasure, they will sometimes help the weak first without regard for reward.

This spirit is not pure love and dedication, but their overall value system.

Whoever has a higher reputation will be more likely to invite other powerful adventurers to form a team when they need to hunt powerful prey.

At the same time, the kingdom's knight class and the bards of each territory are also generally keen to publicize the good deeds of adventurers.

Therefore, in the Age of Kingdoms, adventurers' pursuit of fame was not an isolated case, but a universal virtue.

This common virtue raised the cost of evil for a small number of unethical adventurers, and ultimately led to adventurers gaining widespread acclaim throughout the kingdom.

Each lord also gave priority to choosing children who had been adventurers and were well-known as his heirs, in order to reduce the cost of ruling after the transfer of power.

As for sex, adventurers in the Age of Kingdoms were often celibate but not abstinent.

Especially male adventurers, they like to meet love during the adventure.

But in the process of hunting for beauties, they have an unwritten rule that they cannot accept servants who have lost the right to choose to have sex with them "voluntarily".

In particular, adventurers who pay their servants' masters for sexual experiences will be seen as unattractive and will have a harder time teaming up with other adventurers.

Di Yao, who grew up listening to such stories, is full of anticipation for an adventurous life.

Later, Di Yao grew from a little girl who listened to her mother's stories into a big girl of the White Regiment.

But as the younger sister, she had always been protected by Ruby and had never really gotten along with the other adventurer teams.

So she couldn't understand why the adventurers, just because they led a route to the empire, became a group of wilderness prostitutes?

However, these adventurers whose secret affairs had been exposed did not have much time to pay attention to Di Yao, whose face was disheveled in the wind.

Because of Lu Heng's disruption through Di Yao, the large group of adventurers who came to attack him soon transitioned from heated arguments to anxiety and fear.

The logic is simple. If the enemy can infiltrate so easily, what if they launch a more violent attack?

For example, if he directly unleashed a rain of fireballs, would he be able to wipe out these unguarded adventurers?

In response, the adventurers immediately began to blame the servants outside, but even if the servants on duty were not sleeping, they were still keeping an eye on the outside.

As for what happened to the adventurer's camp that was heavily protected by them, they didn't know either!

So the adventurers decided to take turns on duty to prevent a mysterious strong man from suddenly attacking them.

In this way, Lu Heng's goal has been achieved. Naturally, these adventurers will lack enough energy to rush into the battlefield tomorrow.

By slowing down the advance of the large group of adventurers, Lu Heng can concentrate his attention on dealing with the most active high elves first.

……

What is Erica von Meyer, the high elf lord under Lu Heng, doing at this moment?

She made the final pre-war deployment of each of her teams and asked her elven translator to deliver her orders to each team.

As for why they are all elves but still need translators...there is indeed a reason.

Although most elves speak Elvish, high elves generally believe that the sooner they break away from the elven cultural environment, the sooner they can succeed.

In their view, it was the long and humble culture of the elves that caused them to suffer so much.

If our offspring are also contaminated by the spirit of the elves, how can we maintain the purity and beauty of life?

Influenced by this kind of thinking, many high elves decided to make a thorough break with elven culture.

They regarded the Elvish language as a foul, ghostly language, so naturally, they would not teach their elven descendants to speak the Elvish language.

At least in Erica's army of more than 200 high elves, there are many second-generation high elves who can no longer even speak the Elvish language.

They might speak Imperial Main, or Tymenian, but not Elvish.

Erica was very envious of the high elves who had completely broken away from the elven culture.

Although both of her parents served the empire, their way of serving was to steal intelligence in the empire's enemy countries.

Thanks to the efforts of Erica's parents, her food is very good and her bra cup size has increased to G.

Compared to her, the C-cup Elf Translator can be considered flat-chested.

But precisely because she had lived with the elves since she was a child, and only recently had she lived on the land of the Empire, she could only speak the Elvish language.

If it weren't for the help of the elven translator, she would have found it difficult to command her own troops.

Tomorrow, the decisive battle will begin.

During this tense moment, Erica thought back to the time when she had assembled this army.

After her parents sacrificed their lives for the empire, she led a hard life every day in the empire, but she always abided by the law and paid taxes honestly.

If I have more free time, I will curse every elf in the world in my fluent Elvish language.

One day, when the Empire began to gather the high elves together, Erica felt passionate.

She donated her savings to the Empire and gave flowers to her neighbors.

With the mentality of wanting to kill as many elves as possible, she gave out every high elf she knew before happily reporting to the concentration camp.

In this way, probably every elf she knows will not be able to escape, right?

However, what awaited Erica and the others was not the final liquidation plan that was quick, good and economical.

Instead, let them gather into a force and participate in the expedition to the East Continent together.

It seems that only in this way can the value of the high elves be truly utilized.

The Empire took into consideration the contributions made by Erica's parents and made Erica the commander of these high elves.

Erica, who finally gained power, was extremely willing to exchange the lives of elves all over the world for the empire's rule over the world.

After she joined Lu Heng's team, she also behaved very actively.

It was precisely because she was really concerned about the war that she felt that this military action was a bit strange.

According to common sense, the enemies they are facing seem to be a group of very weak ratmen.

Why does the powerful Minotaur Bandit seem to only bring with him some ratmen who are almost unable to awaken their own unique skills?

Could that camp really provide enough psionic energy for the constant teleportation of the Minotaur Bandit?

Or is there any other reason?

The enemy... does he have any hidden cards that he hasn't revealed yet?

To be on the safe side, Erica only sent highly mobile troops to conduct a final force reconnaissance within the range of the "Beastman" camp.

In case the minotaur really starts to show his true cards, we will be able to grasp the exact situation at the first time.

This can also prevent the ratmen from running away collectively. Even if the Minotaur chase them, the highly mobile troops can retreat or even lure the enemy deeper.

She set up her tent not far from Artemisia Town.

In this way, even if I, as bait, was attacked by the Minotaur, I would definitely alert Lu Heng.

At that time, she only needs to be responsible for the center blooming, and victory will be achieved until the main force comes to encircle it.

122. Fierce Big Cat

Late at night, the White Lion chariots of the high elves rampaged through the ambush site that Lu Heng had just prepared.

As the name suggests, this chariot unit is not pulled by war horses, but by a kind of snow-white war lion.

The white lions are almost as big as war horses, but they are still as agile and cunning as cats.

But this war lion is far stronger than a horse. It can crush the bones of a ratman with just one claw strike and shatter the head of a helmeted human with a single bite.

Even without heavy armor, the white lion's own special lion skin can resist various physical and magical attacks to a large extent.

The High Elf Lord Erica analyzed the battle reports from the Empire and discovered that the main force of the enemy was just a small number of ratmen.

These ratmen are at most slightly stronger than ordinary ratmen. They no longer use slings, but use bows and crossbows instead. It is still difficult to penetrate the white lion's skin.

At the same time, the ratmen's weak defense capabilities were completely unable to withstand the armor-piercing damage from the white lions.

The white lion also has strong fighting morale. If it really encounters the ratman troops under the Minotaur, the white lion will roar and pounce on the ratman group.

The high elf warriors on the chariots may not even need to perform much, the white lions can rampage through the ratmen's positions and easily tear apart the ratmen's defenses.

The powerful roar of the white lion will also cause fear among the ratmen, causing them to flee faster.

The timid rat people would even be frightened by the roar of the white lion, which would slow down their running speed and make them more vulnerable to being hunted by the white lion.

In fact, even if the rat people wanted to escape, it would be difficult to escape, because the White Lion chariot is not only powerful in combat, but also very mobile.

This ferocious beast, which runs faster than a horse, has excellent ability to adapt to terrain and can be used to hunt down ratmen very well.

Therefore, unless there are any unexpected circumstances, there is not much risk at all in using the White Lion Chariot to deal with the ratmen.

However, Erica was relatively cautious when using this high-armor, high-armor-penetration, high-damage and highly mobile force.

She asked this troop not to destroy the ratmen directly when they encountered them, but to withdraw and report the situation first.

This is certainly not to protect against ratmen.

She also saw in the battle report that in this battle they would encounter a minotaur who could teleport, and that would be the main target to be eliminated this time.

In Erica's opinion, the vulnerable ratmen were most likely baits left by the minotaurs.

Once the White Lion Chariots have killed a lot of ratmen and consumed a lot of physical strength in successive victories, they will be more likely to fall into the trap of the Minotaur.

So Erica planned to use the White Lion Chariot to "seduce" the Minotaur first.

It would be even better if the Minotaur took the bait. The Minotaur would zigzag all the way and the White Lion Chariot would run all the way.

This will consume the limited spiritual energy of the Minotaur Bandit, and only after the warping ability is consumed will the hunt be successful.

If things go well, the White Lion Chariot Regiment may be able to inflict a few wounds on the Minotaur during their rapid movement.

After all, on the chariot, in addition to the two white lions that can be used for both pulling the chariot and fighting, the high elf warriors on the chariot are also an important combat force.

Through the landing point vision, Lu Heng discovered that there were a total of 6 White Lion chariots sent by Erica, and each White Lion chariot was equipped with 4 high elves.

The high elves in the front row were waving whips, as if they were going to give the two white lions in front of the car 100 lashes at a time, so that they could always keep moving quickly.

The three high elves in the middle and back rows are equipped with both battle axes and bows.

They can selectively carry out close defense or long-range attack according to the actual needs of the battlefield.

Although they were fighting for the Empire, their entire combat system was still similar to that of the Empire's enemy, the Earth Elves in the Sea Alliance.

If you really look into the details, you can actually find subtle differences.

In the Sea Alliance, the earth elf warriors on the White Lion chariot stood almost the entire time during the battle.

Because traditional earth elves believe that even if they sacrifice on the battlefield, they can still achieve the beautiful wish of "dying standing".

The high elves who joined the empire had a major change in their thinking.

They hate all the sacrificial spirit inherited from the earth elves, so their chariot design is also different from the past.

Because their seats were raised, they often observed their surroundings from a sitting position until they had to, and then they stood up to fight.

From a general pragmatic perspective, Lu Heng even thought that this improvement was quite interesting, at least it saved physical strength before the battle.

However, this pragmatism obviously applies to general situations.

But these teams of high elf charioteers had apparently encountered a situation they had never seen before.

"Is that a dog? It's the wrong size, isn't it? It's this big from this far away?"

A high elf charioteer uttered his exclamation.

Elves often have some night vision, like Skaven and Minotaur.

But they have an added advantage: they can maintain their intense attention span for long periods of time.

Many races, including ratmen and minotaurs, often have a normal activity cycle of one day.
