Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

"Your Highness Norin!" Chief Lady Maggiore could not help but exclaim in surprise. She had never expected that things would take this turn so quickly and directly.

Although this was Lin Rui's purpose, he was still a little surprised by Norin's quick and firm surrender. He stared at him and asked in a deep voice: "Are you serious?"

Norin did not hesitate at all and responded in the most solemn way: "I swear in the name of the sacred tree that this is true and I will keep my promise."

Thus, the savior of the dark elves and the city lord of the forest elves solemnly confirmed the contract, although they both doubted in their hearts how much they could trust each other.

Chapter 85: Charge Weapon Eluda

In mid-September, the gentle autumn breeze has quietly replaced the scorching heat of midsummer, but it still brings a hint of nostalgic warmth, gently blowing across the land of Beizhou.

On the 4th, the Lin Rui army stationed on the west bank of the Asahikawa River was reinforced by the reserve soldiers from Otoshi Castle, and the team swelled to 5 people. Together with the to forest elf soldiers under Norin who escaped from Toishi Castle, a total of about people built a floating bridge on the bank of the Asahikawa River and marched towards Toishi Castle.

Although it has been more than a month since the hottest time of the year, the sun in Bishu still reminds people of the summer heat. However, the humidity in the air is low, and the breeze blowing past makes people feel comfortable.

Lin Rui, riding on a cyan and white-haired high-branch unicorn, had not spoken since he broke camp. There were some things he had to concentrate on thinking about. When he looked toward the mountains in the north, he could not help but be amazed at the dramatic change in the mountains. He had wanted to prepare for a detailed investigation, but judging from the current situation of the army, he simply did not have the luxury. Everything had to wait until after the city of Dishi was recaptured, and satisfying his personal interests had to be done after the official business was done.

As the army crossed the Asahikawa, the shadow of war grew heavier, covering every inch of land like a dark cloud.

The orcs in the surrounding settlements, fearing that the elf soldiers would slaughter them to vent their anger, packed up their bags and fled to the mountains, leaving behind empty villages and quiet streets. Only the elf villages still had villagers left, waiting for their own army to return.

The coalition forces of Lin Rui and Norin chose to camp in an open area southwest of Dishi City, which was convenient for observing the movements of the city. After the army camped, they did not rush to act, as if they were waiting for the best opportunity.

On the overall principle of siege, Lin Rui and Nuo Lin surprisingly reached a consensus.

If you can avoid causing damage to the city as much as possible, then try to reduce the damage as much as possible.

As far as Norin was concerned, Whetstone City was her home, and every brick and tile carried her memories and emotions. It was not her request that she directed her troops here, so she tried to preserve as much as possible.

Lin Rui's idea was similar to hers. Although Whetstone City was not directly under his jurisdiction, he was well aware of its importance as the only land passage between the forest elves and the dark elves. Whether it was to defend against the invasion of the forest elves or to serve as the cornerstone for the dark elves to expand eastward, Whetstone City was indispensable.

However, siege warfare has always been extremely cruel, especially for the attacking party. As the general commander of the siege force, Lin Rui could not ignore the lives of the soldiers because he was too concerned about the integrity of the city.

This is the contradiction he faces as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

While thinking about these things, Lin Rui walked in the camp and saw a pair of familiar ears appear in the distance.

"Eluda?" The moment Lin Rui murmured softly, his pair of long brown ears twitched.

The dark elf turned around. It was indeed Eluda.

"Master..." her lips said.

The next moment, she rushed to Lin Rui with both hands and feet like a wild animal. As expected of Eluda, she was so fast that ordinary people probably couldn't follow her movements with the naked eye.

"Master...!" Elda shook her butt vigorously, like a dog wagging its tail, craving for the master's attention and love.

However, the smile on his face froze in the next moment: "Master... you smell like a forest elf..."

This guy's sense of smell is really sharp.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Oh, yes, because I just went to hunt for the wisdom of the forest elves." In fact, he was discussing the problems of Whetstone City with Norin.

When Norin heard Lin Zhongrui's assurance that he would minimize the losses in Dishi City, although he did not say it directly, the pair of eyes sparkling with gratitude really touched her heart.

"Eluda also wants to hunt for the wisdom of the forest elves!" But Eluda seemed to have misunderstood Lin Rui's meaning, but her eyes instantly became bright, full of desire for battle and loyalty to her master.

"Unfortunately, I have already completed this mission." Lin Rui gently stroked Eluda's thick hair, his tone full of doting.

"What a pity..." Elda's expression was a little disappointed, but then she became excited again, "Then let's go hunt those cunning foxes together next time!"

"Well, let's talk about it next time. Ah, don't mark me." Lin Rui used his hand to push away Elda who was trying to rub her body against him.

"But you smell like a forest elf, Master."

After using brute force to push away Elda who was trying to squeeze in, Lin Rui changed the subject.

The conversation between the two naturally turned to the reason why Lin Rui was frowning here. Facing the naive Eluda, Lin Rui naturally chose to be honest with her. He elaborated on his real worries: how to capture the city without causing too much damage to the Stone City and minimizing his own losses.

Elda blinked her big eyes, as if she heard something interesting. She excitedly raised her thumb and pointed to the Whetstone Castle in the distance. She said confidently: "Elda understands. In short, it's that. The master wants that big castle. As long as Elda takes down that castle, the master won't have to frown so much, right?"

"That's amazing, Eluda. But this is not a joke." Although Lin Rui was amused by Eluda's innocence, he really didn't want to joke with her now.

"How can this be a joke? Eluda is very serious." Eluda's smile was very cute, without any extra thoughts. Combined with her beast-like brute force, Lin Rui knew that her determination was no joke.

"I am very pleased that Eluda has this intention, but you cannot capture the city by yourself."

"How do you know if you don't try? Elda is very confident in herself!" She patted her chest tightly wrapped in armor, "Elda is very strong, master, don't worry!"

To attack the city alone was almost a fantasy in Lin Rui's eyes, but common sense could not restrain this dark elf girl. Perhaps, she could really achieve this feat with an unimaginable strategy. Lin Rui couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

"How are you going to fight?"

"Master, you will know after you see it!"

Elda tapped her shoulder with the scabbarded sword and smiled fearlessly.

"Wait a minute, even if you really plan to go alone? I have to send some soldiers to protect you, and I have to prepare some things, at least some equipment for siege." Lin Rui's words revealed unquestionable determination.

Even if Eluda could really capture the city on her own today, Lin Rui would not really let her do that. Trying is one thing, protecting is another.

Elda shook her head and her ears swayed slightly. She seemed to think seriously for a while, then pointed to the logs waiting to be assembled in the open space of the military camp and said, "Well? Then give that big log to Elda."

"Big log? Is that enough?" Logs are used to ram the city gates, but they cannot be the only thing used to attack a city.

"Well, that's enough." Elda nodded with satisfaction, her eyes filled with the confidence of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

"I understand. Wait a moment. I'll let Diruwa lead the Red Guards to go with you!"

Logs are essential for sieges and are very heavy. Generally, they are covered with a four-wheeled wooden armored vehicle with protection to make a so-called battering ram. Even for rune elves, it takes multiple people to carry them.

"Where do you want to move this?"

"No, this is enough. Let Elda do it next."

"What do you mean just let me do it? How can you do this alone..."

Before Lin Rui could finish his words, Elda had easily picked up the huge log carried by eight soldiers with one hand and carried it on her shoulders.

This scene shocked everyone present, including Lin Rui, so much that they were speechless. They could only open their mouths in amazement.

"Then I'll see you in the city, Master."

Eluda waved goodbye to everyone with a relaxed step, leaving behind only an unbelievable back view.

Lin Rui quickly came to his senses. He hurriedly gathered all the troops. After telling everyone about Eluda, the atmosphere in the barracks instantly became tense.

Chloe and Diluwa quickly gathered their troops to assist Eluda in attacking the city. As for the rest of the people, they stood on the observation tower of the military camp, looking for Eluda's whereabouts.

What exactly does the dark elf girl with amazing brute force intend to do? What will be the result? Lin Rui's curiosity about these questions far outweighs his worries.

"where is she?"

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes and searched around.

"Hmm! Found it." The sharp-eyed Luche quickly pointed in the direction of Eluda.

The author says:

Author's words: I hope you can give me some comments and criticisms when reading this.

Chapter 86: Eluda Impact

A dark elf girl with golden hair as brilliant as wheat stepped lightly onto the moat that stretched before her.

This moat was transformed from one of the tributaries of the Asahikawa River and is an indestructible natural barrier for Toishi Castle.

However, to Eluda, the gurgling river was just an embellishment on her journey, and she stepped into it without a care.

"Hey, isn't it obvious that Eluda is trying to let the enemy find you? Diruwa! The troops haven't assembled yet! Eluda has already started crossing the river! Hurry up and support her!" Lin Rui's anxious voice cut through the entire camp.

"The troops have already set out, please rest assured, Master."

Because this was a siege, Diruwa ordered all the red-armored soldiers to abandon their horses and march on foot, and also to prepare giant shields and arrows, so the movement was much slower.

But the orcs in Whetstone City will not give the dark elves enough time. Since Lin Rui's army arrived, these orcs have been patrolling back and forth on the opposite bank of the river, and there should be people in the watchtower of the city wall monitoring the movements on the river.

The dark elf girl carrying a huge log could not fail to attract their attention.

Dozens of orc soldiers then appeared on the shore and threw short spears at Eluda who was almost in the middle of the river.

With a huge log on his shoulders and a rushing stream under his feet, it was impossible to dodge the rain of arrows in this situation.

Elda seemed to be in desperate situation.

Buzz!

However, at this critical moment, Elda swung the log with her amazing arm strength and knocked down the spears one by one.

"What kind of arm strength is that..." Lin Rui and Olga and others behind him were all dumbfounded, unable to believe what they saw.

Even if you see it with your own eyes, it's still hard to believe that he could lift something that only eight rune spirits could move with ease.

Even the orcs guarding the city were so surprised that they were stunned and unable to move.

Then, Elda took advantage of the situation and turned the log into a fatal blow, going straight to where the orcs were: hiss two...3彡麟5, killing five people instantly.

This strike was crucial.

The Elda in front of him was obviously as cute as a little wolfhound, but her current behavior clearly showed that she should be classified as a youkai or monster.

The orcs were so frightened that their legs went limp and they dropped their weapons and fled.

Under such circumstances, Elda leisurely crossed the river and landed.

"Well, although Elda is indeed a bit naive and willful, I have to admit that she is a very courageous person."

Lin Rui pondered with admiration.

Chloe, who had fought against her once before, had personally experienced how powerful Elda was, but she had never expected that Elda's strength was far beyond her imagination.

Currently in the dark elf camp, the strongest person is undoubtedly Lin Rui, but no one should object to ranking this brute force girl in front of him second.

A warrior this strong said confidently that he would capture the fortress. He must have some good plan. Lin Rui's expectations began to rise, but

"Wait, why did she rush through from the front?!"

It seemed that nothing that the blond dark elf did went against Lin Rui's expectations.

As I said just now, Lin Rui no longer doubted Elda's fighting ability.

Even so, charging head-on would still be too reckless!

Indeed, compared to Otoshi Castle, which was surrounded and protected by city walls, Toishi Castle was not only small in scale but also not strong enough.

But there were hundreds of soldiers stationed in the fortress. Should I take it for granted? Now the orc hunters were drawing their bows and arrows behind the stone wall, firing a rain of arrows at Eluda through the cracks in the wall.

Faced with such a dense attack, even if you swing the logs to block them, it is still impossible to block all the arrows.

Elda is in a life-and-death crisis.

"Is she really a beast?!" Lin Rui was shocked. Eluda not only showed extraordinary arm strength, but also her lightness and strength surpassed all other elves. She was like the wind in the forest, moving left and right. Arrows rained down but could not touch her clothes, leaving not even a scratch. Her movements were as fast as lightning, dazzling the orc hunters guarding the city, and all the arrows missed.

Moreover, this was done while carrying a huge log. How fast could it be without the heavy object? Just imagining it is terrifying.

Wu finally

Dong! Dong... Dong...

6The deep bass like an earth rumble sounded with the vibration like an echo.

Elda began to ram the gates of Whetstone Castle with huge logs.

This scene not only shocked the city gate, but also made Lin Rui's eyes fall into a vortex of disbelief again.

He was very confident in his eyesight, so today was the first time in his life that he repeatedly doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes.

The indestructible city gate, cast with tons of heavy iron, was crushed into dust along with the huge tree in Eluda's arms under a heavy blow, and dust flew everywhere. At this moment, not only the orcs guarding the city, but also Lin Rui's common sense collapsed.

Using huge logs to destroy city walls or gates was indeed a common practice, but if you wanted to damage a city gate, you would have to hit it dozens of times in a row.

As a result, until the gates are breached, the attackers will be constantly attacked by the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties. Therefore, attacking a castle or fortress by brute force is often considered a bad idea.

Shuo This is why the dark elves attacking the city have to assemble battering rams with a certain degree of protection.

"This guy is really... totally beyond common sense!"

This is what u means by being unable to close your mouth.

All I can say is that Elda completely overturned the tactics of siege warfare.

: Later, in the battle with the Eastern Urakami Kingdom, Lin Ruicai used the heavy catapult, a civilized weapon, to break through the Urakami Kingdom's last stronghold in Bishu, Changchuan Castle, but before that, this golden-haired dark elf did it with his arm strength alone.

"Hurry! Hurry! We can't lose Elda!"

Lin Rui personally went into battle, followed by Chloe, Diluwa and two thousand elite soldiers, sweeping across the land like a gust of wind. Although he didn't know what the dark elves were doing, Norin, as a friendly army, also led hundreds of forest elf knights under his command and followed.

They crossed the river unharmed and advanced to a place not far from the fortress.
