Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

"That's really a delight. Being liked by so many girls is something I never dared to think about before."

While Lin Rui teased himself about being single for the past decade or so, he was also proud of himself for now having such a large harem.

Chapter 35: The Dark Elf Female General is in a Dilemma

The news that the troops of the three major forces in Bishu: Otoshi Castle, Tsu Port, and Tenjinyama Castle were dispatched at the same time quickly spread. This swampy and forested place, completely unsuitable for survival, which should have been unknown, suddenly attracted the attention of various surrounding forces.

Even the Black Beast Group, which was famous for killing and looting, stopped all military operations. This group even withdrew from Beizhou and camped in the hinterland of Zuozhou in the north, far away from the trouble, to rest the troops and accumulate strength. It seemed that they were ready to take advantage of this war to get some benefits.

For third-party spectators, this battle seemed to have nothing worth discussing. The 1200 men from Jingang and the 2000 men from Tenjinyama Castle were fighting against the 2000 men mobilized by Otoshi Castle. Whether in terms of the quality or quantity of the troops, Otoshi Castle did not look like it could win.

But it is said that a very powerful guy has recently appeared in Otoko Castle, and the locals even call him the savior. Perhaps out of the expectation of personal heroism, everyone is still very concerned about this battle.

What kind of operation will the legendary savior come up with? Meteorites falling from the sky? Or landslides? It's really exciting.

However, the big twist that was expected did not happen.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the first day passed without any incident.

Time was wasted in this tense atmosphere.

Except for the 1200 soldiers led by Diruwa who moved a few steps towards Otoshi Castle for the convenience of supply, the other troops did not move.

very strange.

Logically, if Otoko Castle wanted to win as the defending side, it should first concentrate its superior forces to defeat one of the enemy's troops before the enemy joined forces, and then fight the other troops. But all day long, Otoko Castle was silent, and even the city gates were not closed.

This inevitably makes people wonder whether this so-called savior will actually fight a war.

Do you really not intend to defeat the enemy before they can combine into a stronger force?

The defenders of Otoshi Castle did not move.

Anyway, it was good news for Diluwa who came to attack. Because compared with Yizi Castle, she wanted Lin Rui, the savior, more. Anyway, the city was there, and she could take it whenever she wanted.

If someone runs away, it may not be easy to catch him.

But there was no news from Otoko Castle and Tenjinyama Castle, which made Diluwa impatient. After all, it was early summer and the temperature during the day was still quite hot. Without enough patience, it was really uneasy.

It was not until that night, when the temperature began to drop, that the messenger from Tianshen Mountain City arrived at the Diruwa military camp as if he was deliberately delaying.

"Our army will launch an attack on the enemy city when the moon is at its highest point in the sky. General Diluwa, please join us."

That’s what the other messenger said.

Diluwa's answer was clear and concise: "Understood, I will attack before you do."

That's it.

On the surface, both sides were vying for credit for capturing Otoko Castle first, but in reality, both sides were trying to trip up the other side.

Diluwa tried to make the people of Tenjinyama Castle think that he would attack Otoshi Castle first, while the troops of Tenjinyama Castle tried to make Diluwa think that he would attack Otoshi Castle first.

The commanders on both sides were highly confident in their own judgments and did not send scouts to the other side to truly confirm the other side's movements.

This should be considered their most serious mistake.

Because the movements of the two armies were clearly observed by the scouts sent out by Lin Rui.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers of Jingang began to withdraw under the command of Diluwa, moving northwards towards Otto City. Diluwa's command was extremely effective, and the army did not show any disorder even when moving at night.

At this time, the 200 light infantry led by Eluda as the vanguard were already galloping towards the north under the moonlight in the middle of the night.

Elda's bravery and beauty were second only to the general's sisters in the army, so the soldiers felt as if they were commanded by the goddess of heaven, and their spirits were a hundred times higher.

Of course, if Elda didn't open her mouth to speak, she could indeed live up to the image of a goddess.

If you don't open your mouth to speak.

Since the evening, Lin Rui's personal office has been busy with people coming in and out.

The scouts responsible for investigating the enemy's situation and the messengers responsible for contacting various troops to report the situation conveyed the news from outside at a momentum that almost burst the door frame of his office, and at the same time issued Lin Rui's orders.

Lin Rui was so busy with work that he didn't even have time to drink some water to moisten his throat.

This is the most efficient result achieved with the help of Olga and Chloe.

Under such high pressure, Lin Rui also learned how to deal with a large amount of reports. That is to listen to them roughly first, pick out the key words, and then make a judgment. If it is determined to be important, then think about the information carefully. If you think it is not important, then give it to them according to the rule that internal affairs belong to Olga and military affairs belong to Chloe.

Although this is a lazy way to do it, it is a faster way.

In particular, the intelligence on the enemy's whereabouts on the battlefield changes every minute, and it is possible that the latter intelligence is completely inconsistent with the previous one, which requires extra brain cells to analyze.

"After this battle, I have to set up a staff... Otherwise, we will be exhausted before the battle even starts."

Lin Rui made this complaint after he discovered that the Elf Administrator System could not help deal with this messy intelligence information.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Just as the moon was about to reach the roof of the Golden Palace and it was about to be midnight, Lin Rui caught a clue.

"Okay! Olga! Chloe! Put down your work immediately. We have finally received the news we have been waiting for all day!"

Perhaps because the exhaustion of the day finally paid off, Lin Rui's shouts were much more sonorous and powerful.

"Master? Are you finally here?"

"What kind of news is it? What kept us busy all day? What made the master so happy?"

Olga and Chloe didn't bother to deal with the chores in front of them and hurried over. In fact, it wasn't just Olga and Chloe, the other dark elf girls were also curious about what kind of news made this master willing to stay in the office all day and deal with this miscellaneous information.

Lin Rui violently pushed away irrelevant objects on the table and spread out the map, placing Tianjin Port at the center of observation.

"Tell me the information you just gave me again."

Lin Rui pointed at the scout standing in front of him and asked her to repeat what he had said a few seconds ago.

"Yes!" The sweaty, tall and thin scout stood up straight with a serious expression and said, "The troops from Tianshen Mountain City to support the enemy army Diruwa are passing through Jinjing and marching south."

Lin Rui quickly found the place called Jinjing on the map. It was actually a small road northeast of Jingang. The southern end of this road was Jingang.

This behavior of the Tenjinyama Castle troops puzzled everyone, and only Olga seemed to understand something.

She said with an expression as if she had been awakened from a nightmare while sleeping soundly, "Master, the troops from Tianshen Mountain City could not be..."

“That’s right!” It was the first time that Lin Rui showed such a fang-like smile like a beast finding its prey. He said proudly: “Dilwa was abandoned by his so-called teammates.”

Chapter 36: The Dark Elf Female General was Ambushed

The summer night wind swept through the wilderness unhindered, making sounds that sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes like the sound of a shepherd's flute, sometimes like the roar of a giant beast hiding in the woods.

The gentle breeze penetrated the ranks between the marching soldiers, making this summer night not as hot as the day, and even much cooler.

Perhaps due to their absolute trust in their commander, Diluwa, the 1200 dark elf soldiers from Jin Port did not seem to be under great pressure before the battle, and their faces were full of self-esteem as victors who trampled on others. Some dark elf soldiers even deserted, humming little songs from the port and completely ignoring the discipline that should be observed during the night march.

Their commander, Diluwa, seemed very confident in this battle. You know, in her hundreds of years of military career, she had never failed.

Based on her confidence in her assessment of the situation, she did not stop her subordinates from violating discipline at all. As long as they did not shout too loudly, she would not even give the most basic reprimand to the soldiers.

At the same time, a group of 1000 dark elves and Al people were marching quietly forward.

Completely different from the soldiers under Duroit, this troop smeared wet mud on the tips of their spears to prevent the metal weapons from shining. In order to prevent any noise, everyone bit a piece of wood in their mouths and wrapped their feet with cloth. They were extremely cautious.

In this way, they arrived at a slightly higher hill without being discovered by the enemy. As long as they climbed up the flat slope, they could see the enemy's Diluwa tribe marching towards Otoshi Castle.

"… Let's take a break here and get ready!"

Lin Rui, who was at the front of the main force behind the vanguard, gave the order carefully. Olga and Chloe, who followed behind him, passed his order to the others one by one. The soldiers followed the instructions and began to rest, taking off the wood in their mouths and the cloth wrapped around their feet.

After a while, the scouts who were sent out came back.

Upon hearing the scout's report that the enemy was marching along the road at the foot of the hill towards Otoshi Castle as if they were taking a stroll, Lin Rui, who had been trying to control his emotions, finally let them out and laughed.

Of course, it was that kind of dumb laugh.

"Owner."

It was the first time for Olga and Chloe to see Lin Rui smile with both boldness and restraint. Although they were still afraid of winning in the end, they chose to trust his judgment without reservation because of their trust in Lin Rui, who had become the most important man in their lives.

The two of them looked at Lin Rui, who had taken off his usual good-guy mask the moment he stepped onto the battlefield and exuded a sense of dark seriousness from the inside out, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Not only did they not panic because of the sudden change of face of the coach, but they felt much more at ease.

"Yes. Olga, Chloe. It's time to prove the power of evolution. I believe that with the blessing of the savior, you will be able to defeat that Diluwa and regain the glory of Rikuto Otoko Castle.

From today on, from now on, all of us will personally prove to the world that the dark elves have turned the tables! "

The soldiers silently raised their arms and stabbed the long swords or spears in their hands into the starry sky.

Lin Rui turned around and headed towards the enemy's position, towards Diruwa, who was so arrogant that he completely ignored the threat of his savior. He lowered the Qingzhu used for command and ordered:

“March!!”

The wind direction has changed.

The dark elves and the Al soldiers rushed up the hill together and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Without a mount, you have to rely on your legs.

No passwords, just trust.

No complaints, only victories.

The soldiers were either holding long swords or spears, or holding bows and arrows, following Lin Rui who was rushing in the front.

In the moonlight, a tiny figure appeared on the top of the hill.

"There is an enemy..."

The scout who was responsible for protecting the main force on the left and right wings had not even uttered a scream when Chloe slapped him to the ground, making him unable to make a sound.

Against the backdrop of the gradually whitening sky, Lin Rui led an army composed of soldiers who had just evolved into rune elves and began to wreak havoc on the enemy camp.

They were like a group of fearless calves, going in and out of the enemy's camp seven times.

The soldiers under Diluwa were unable to resist and fell into chaos in an instant. Some soldiers even threw away their weapons and fled in panic.

Of course, there were soldiers who bravely stood up to resist, but it was like a drop in the ocean and was completely useless.

On Lin Rui's side, the most eye-catching person is Chloe, who was blessed by the power of the savior. She led the charge and was invincible.

"Hie!!!!"

She raised her long sword high and swung it hard at the enemy's body. She was extremely powerful and killed all the enemy soldiers with just one blow.

Taking this opportunity, the Suicide Squad 0 behind her followed closely behind her and moved forward together.

At this moment, the outcome is almost decided.

"...Savior...why..."

Duruwa never imagined that he would have to face off against the legendary savior.

Maybe she had thought about it when she went to Otoshi Castle to challenge for the first time, but she just didn't want to face it in her heart.

Looking at the dark elf general in front of him, who was about to be defeated by Diruwa because of the surprise attack on his army, Lin Rui put away his sympathy for the girl and replaced his expression with the seriousness that a lord of a territory should have:

"Dilroy, if you had come to Otoko Castle without Mizili, I might have really considered cooperating with you without resorting to violence."

"Why!"

Diruwa really didn't understand why the savior would choose the dilapidated Otoshi Castle instead of Tianjin Port.

Whether it was wealth or women, why should Jingang, which he had worked hard to run for hundreds of years, be inferior to Yizi Castle, which was like a bandit’s stronghold and even the salt used for daily meals had to be carefully calculated?

Duroy didn't understand.

Lin Rui responded with a very low, deep voice, as if coming from the abyss:

"If you come to Otoko City by yourself, it means that we are still within the framework of the dark elves and we can discuss the terms properly. But if you bring Mizili with you, it means that you have cooperated with outsiders, and your purpose has become to divide the interests of your own people.

There is no room for forgiveness for betrayers."

"..."

After saying what he needed to say, Lin Rui said no more. He raised the strange-looking curved long sword in his hand high on his right shoulder, with the tip of the sword pointing to the sky, and took the unique starting posture of the "Manifestation Flow" "Dragonfly Stance", standing straight like a pine tree in front of Diluwa.

Even the battle-hardened and well-informed Diluwa had never seen such a situation before, so her face became serious and her whole body tensed up. She confirmed from the corner of her eye that Eluda was being entangled by Chloe and Olga, and that there should be no one around who would interfere in the two-man battle between her and the Savior, so she gave up and took a stance, ready to fight.

"Savior...if I win...then you will belong to Tianjin. How do you think?"

A showdown between the bosses naturally involves some gamble of fate, doesn't it?

But Lin Rui laughed like a villain:

“Hahahahaha…hahahahaha…Diroir…you’re so cute…”

"Varied……"

The first time a boy called her cute, Diluwa's serious expression before a battle quickly collapsed into the shyness of a girl in her first love, and the pink color rushed down her neck to her earlobes.

But soon, this vague shyness was cut off by the boy who gave her the feeling of first love.
