However, while the vanguard of the Severn Kingdom's army was waiting for the next order from Severn IX, they, the attackers, were the first to be attacked.

This vanguard officer who was a walk-on and whose name I can't even remember, followed the common practice in human countries during siege warfare, and lined up his troops five hundred meters away from the city wall. This is correct according to common sense, because few common slings, arrows and even magic in human countries can hit five hundred meters away.

But this vanguard officer didn't know that the attack range of the night elves was different from that of ordinary humans. Speaking of which, there were a very small number of soldiers who escaped before. Those nobles who were redeemed should also have discovered in the previous battles that the night elves have a far greater killing range than ordinary people? Why did the vanguard officer still send his troops to the night elves? Yu Fei was puzzled, but he was not polite.

The vanguard of the Severn Kingdom can be regarded as the second most elite group among the troops dispatched by the Severn Kingdom this time - the first elite is naturally the Severn IX who is guarding the emperor's personal expedition.

However, even these ordinary soldiers, who were the advanced troops of 100,000, were running away in front of the boulders, arrows and javelins flying from a distance and falling on their heads with great kinetic energy and potential energy.

This vanguard force is composed of relatively elite soldiers from various armies, and they were not part of one unit before. So after the chaos started, few people listened to the order of the pioneer officer who had little authority, and they all ran away.

The vanguard officer was also speechless. Seeing the situation, it was impossible to attack or continue to wait for orders. He had no choice but to announce that the entire army would retreat three hundred meters. Since it was an order to escape, the soldiers chose to obey, restored some order, and retreated three hundred meters in a consistent manner.

Next, the vanguard officer also felt a little bad. The night elves attacked Brak Fortress from the other side. Although that side of the city wall was destroyed by blade throwers and boulders, the side facing the Severn Kingdom was still intact.

Although when it was being built, the wall facing the country was not as tall and thick as the other wall that had been destroyed by the night elves, it would still pose a great resistance to the siege.

Now, after discovering the enemy's extremely long attack range and feeling the intensity of the night elves' attacks, the vanguard officer made a calculation. In just a short period of time to react and retreat, the 100,000 leading troops he led actually lost as much as 30,000.

The vanguard officer looked at the dead soldiers. Except for those who were crushed to death by boulders, each of the dead soldiers had only an arrow or javelin stuck in their body. This precise strike made the vanguard officer shudder.

The city wall that is so far away from the city wall and so tall and majestic cannot be captured in a short time. How many people will die during this time? After a rough estimate, the vanguard officer discovered that if he dared to lead the vanguard to directly attack the Brak Fortress, he might be wiped out before he even reached the base of the city wall.

The vanguard officer wisely gave up the idea of ​​​​attacking the city and was not even willing to test it. He had already thought in his mind that even if Severn IX gave an order for the vanguard to attack first, he would not obey it.

attack? The only role they can play is probably to lay a layer of corpses in front of Brak Fortress. Even these corpses did not even reach the gathering that was piled up under the city wall as a path for future generations, because they would all die on the way to the charge.

The vanguard officer, who had made up his mind to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, and the soldiers who were frightened by the previous attack, were getting along very harmoniously at the moment. Everyone was very calm and did not take any action - attacking would mean death, and if they retreated directly, no one would dare to do so without receiving an order.

However, soon, the vanguard could no longer remain calm. Because they saw from a distance that the gate of Brak Fortress was actually opened! Naturally, the pioneer officer also saw this scene. He was stunned for a moment and then sneered and imparted his experience to the adjutant next to him.

"This enemy is too naive. He opened a city gate and wanted to lure us to attack. We are not fools. We could have closed the city gate by the time we reached such a long distance. Do the enemies in the city think we are seeing them? Will you continue to attack blindly after a powerful long-range attack? You saw through this little trick at a glance."

The adjutant next to him naturally responded nonstop, and the pioneer officer also boasted endlessly. However, in this harmonious atmosphere, the new scene they saw made them and all the soldiers in the vanguard completely uneasy.

After the city gate of Brak Fortress was opened, it did not remain empty to lure human troops to attack, but many troops quickly walked out of it. This includes the mountain giants who must line up one by one to go out, the druids of the claw in their untransformed form, and some highly mobile units such as huntresses and deer.

Soon, in the eyes of the leading troops of the Kingdom of Severn who were observing from a distance, these troops, which totaled only five thousand, rushed straight towards them?

Are the enemies in the city out of their minds? Don't take advantage of the good defense of the city and send troops out of the city to fight? Do they think they can defeat our elite division with these strange-looking troops?

The vanguard officer became excited, but he could still keep his composure at the beginning, and said to the adjutant next to him: "These enemies are really thieves and thieves. Seeing that we are not fooled, they will put out bait to attract us to attack, but I will never be fooled.”

However, when he saw those stone giants rushing to a position 600 meters outside the Brak Fortress without stopping, the pioneer officer became completely excited. These enemies were actually stupid enough to go out of the city to attack them with less than 5,000 troops!

Although the stone giants looked terrifying, and those strange-looking races also looked quite powerful, the Pioneer Officer was not afraid at all. In his mind, the army he led could be considered a strong force on the entire continent.

If it weren't for being drawn from various armies, we would never be able to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have entered even the rank of trainee warrior. Uh, okay, now there are more than 70,000 left.

Even if these enemies have some strength, they probably won't be able to make any trouble with a fifteen-fold numerical difference, right? With this idea and the excitement that he was about to make his first contribution, the vanguard officer of the Severn Kingdom's vanguard actually issued an order to step forward to meet the enemy.

And the soldiers under him really matched this brainless pioneer officer, and they all rushed forward excitedly. Each of them was a soldier with some status in their respective armies, but after being incorporated into the vanguard, they each became like ordinary soldiers, and they naturally felt angry in their hearts.

Just now, more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 soldiers were killed and wounded by the night elves' long-range troops. Every soldier was filled with fear and anger. Now those enemies actually gave up their long-range advantage and the convenience of city walls and came out to fight them. Every soldier wanted to thank the fire.

Therefore, they actually launched a countercharge towards the running mountain giant in a fit of enthusiasm. Oh my God, I don't want to describe how brave [stupid] and [coercive] this is.

As the distance gradually got closer, the hot-headed soldiers who rushed to the front gradually began to react. With the size of a mountain giant, the closer the distance, the stronger the sense of oppression given to the enemy. The soldiers at the front had realized how stupid their actions were, but they couldn't stop.

In the charging army, if you want to stop, the only way to stop is to be trampled to death by the people behind you. Soon, these soldiers, who had turned from enthusiastic to fearful, encountered the mountain giants.

The fate of these soldiers who were at the forefront can be imagined. "Pahji——" "Puff——" "Chi——" As a symphony composed of these sounds sounded, there were pools of meat sauce on the ground.

The mountain giants who had stopped their charge stopped, waved their thick earth and stone sticks, and began to sweep them against the ground. In the last battle to attack Brak Fortress, these mountain giants have learned from experience. When dealing with enemies whose bodies are quite small compared to your own, the effect of sweeping them against the ground is much better than lifting them up and smashing them.

Although the visual effect caused by sweeping is not as good as smashing, the actual number of kills is there. The vanguard troops, which were originally in a dense formation, were swept away by the mountain giants. Their lowest trainee level strength did not have the slightest effect.

In front of the giant stick waved by the mountain giant, there was no difference between ordinary strong men and trainee-level warriors. The vanguard officer standing at the back and commanding was dumbfounded at this time. Are those stone giants really not creatures that only appear in legends?

Also, what on earth are those things that run and then lie on the ground and turn into bears, leopards or wolves? Second O! They actually put earth thorns! Oh, it hurts! They actually discharged! Oh, it hurts! They actually spit out wind blades! Oh, it hurts! Those enemies in the distance whose upper body was like a deer and whose lower body was like a deer actually threw javelins! Oh, it hurts! ah! ah! ah! ~~Then the vanguard officer didn’t know anything.

Before the huntress could close the distance and launch an attack, the vanguard of more than 70,000 people was wiped out by the mountain giants, the transformed claw druids, and the deer who fired javelins from a distance. Occasionally, those who want to run away, even if they are thrown a certain distance, will be killed by the hippogryph knights who have been flying high in the air and wandering around.

In this way, the confident vanguard of the Severn Kingdom, without achieving any results, were all lying about a kilometer away from the Brak Fortress.
