Chapter 171 170. Great Victory

Countless fireballs lit up the sky that had just dimmed red.

Watching these blazing, magical balls falling into the forest instead of hitting the magic barrier of the Empire's halberd, Izarebi immediately realized what the commander of Blue Water was going to do.

He had no intention of a head-on confrontation, but just wanted to rely on the environmental advantage to give himself the most severe blow.

With this style of play, and thinking about the previous scorching wall and clearing the field, Izarebi was extremely sure that these two decisions came from the same person.

From a disgusting character who carried a turtle shell on his back.

The Seven Staffs of the Empire is not just an honor that can be obtained by reaching the rank, but also requires a certain leadership and command ability to obtain this assessment.

In the chaotic situation, Izarebi made the most correct choice.

"Heavy cavalry, clear the way, break through along the way we came!"

The heavy cavalry is the elite of the elite of the Seventh Army. The war horses they are equipped with have the blood of Pegasus, which makes them agile and have outstanding endurance. They also have some magical blood and can resonate with some buff magic.

When the heavy cavalry was assembling, Izarebi quickly glanced around, trying to find the commander who designed this ambush and must have mobilized the actions of Blue Water and Werewolf on the spot.

He is proficient in fire magic and his eyes passed through the sea of ​​fire, carefully feeling the magic breath around him.

"Most of the mushroom people who cast fire magic are level 4... so this commander is level 5 or 6?"

The quality of the heavy cavalry's war horses was reflected. In the raging sea of ​​fire, every war horse was fearless.

The horses' hooves tapped the ground, the inky black armor flickered in the firelight, and the shiny armor plates reflected the dazzling light. Each team of heavy cavalry was like a god descending from heaven, leading the teammates behind them, tearing through the hot fire circle, crashing through the heavy magic arrows, and marching forward in the fire.

Standing on the enemy's side, Lu Yu had to praise that the strength and courage of these cavalrymen were admirable.

But unfortunately, Lu Yu didn't plan to attack people today, he wanted to kill horses.

There were constantly light cavalrymen who fell off their horses while following the heavy cavalry to break through, and the horses swallowed by the flames could basically not stand up again.

Seeing the war horses fall one by one, Izarebi waved his hand angrily, pulling the surrounding violent flames in front of him, condensing into a huge fireball.

He originally had the idea of ​​finding the commander and beheading him secretly, but the situation no longer allowed him to do so.

The entire Seventh Army had only 6,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry. This time he brought out 3,500 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry.

The loss of cavalry is acceptable, but the fall of excellent war horses in the sea of ​​fire will completely disrupt the strategic deployment of the entire Seventh Army.

"Fireflies!"

Izarebi shouted, and the fireball broke into pieces in an instant, turning into fist-sized fireflies.

A strong wind suddenly rose.

These fireflies, which contained surging fire attribute magic, were blown by the strong wind as soon as they flew into the air, and the "fire" in their bodies flickered.

A figure in black gauze fell from the sky and blew out the "fireflies" that had not yet taken off.

"Seven-Staff Izarebi, it's an honor to meet you."

Izarebi frowned as she looked at the whirlwind that was constantly generated and dissipated around her.

"Blue Water's sixth level... who are you?"

"Me? My name is a little long when transliterated into Mostana, do you really want to hear it?"

"You know my name, but I don't know yours, that's not appropriate."

"Well, listen carefully, my full name is... Soliphant Sekebir Lureya Ivester Tatarewunkul Botalia Dekro..."

Izarebi, who was in the sea of ​​fire, had a dull look in his eyes. As the name got longer and longer, his mouth opened wider and wider.

If he heard it right... this person's name has at least a hundred characters?

"You are deliberately stalling for time!" Izarebi, who felt that he was being played, roared and pulled the surrounding flames to launch an attack.

A magician who is proficient in wind attributes is always not so easy to be hit. The opponent nimbly dodged the attack of the flames and complained: "I told you that my name is long, but you insisted on hearing it. You can call me another name, Yeshui."

The battle between Yeshui and Izarebi was completely in another battlefield. Being restrained, Izarebi could no longer help the Imperial Halberd.

Lulutis watched the battle between Yeshui and Izarebi, and then looked at the fifth-level magicians of Lanshui, and said "Huh" in confusion.

Lu Yu, who was busy giving orders to the messenger, did not hear the voice of Lulutis in the chat room.

His latest order was to let the werewolves try to injure but not kill when attacking the cavalry who lost their horses.

This order caused a commotion when it reached the Moon Shadow Werewolf formation. These fierce men with inverted triangle bodies and biceps dominating their brains are good at tearing people apart. It is a bit embarrassing for them to injure but not kill.

Although they secretly complained that Lu Yu's orders were inexplicable, the pre-arrangement of this battle and the results obtained after the battle were very obvious, so they were still quite convinced by Lu Yu.

The heroic charge of the heavy cavalry made a large number of soldiers with imperial halberds rush out and head towards the flat area.

However, at this time, another group of werewolves who had been lurking on both sides of the road for a long time jumped out one after another, and while the magicians in the imperial halberds had no time to react, their claws scratched the throats of the Celer soldiers...

"Only injure, not kill, only injure, not kill!"

After subconsciously tearing the necks of a group of Celer soldiers, the leader who almost got drunk after smelling the blood shouted quickly.

The werewolves reluctantly moved their eyes to the hands and feet of the Celer soldiers.

After discovering that another Celer soldier had broken through, the werewolves who had caused chaos in the imperial spear vanguard jumped high and disappeared into the night after a few jumps, making the Celer people, who were angry and embarrassed, very angry.

The cavalry captain who simply counted the casualties breathed a sigh of relief after getting the casualty figures.

"It seems that they are just a group of guys with no combat experience, and they took advantage of the chaos to attack and achieved such a small result."

In the sea of ​​fire, Izarebi and Yeshui fought a sixth-level magic.

The fierce collision of wind and fire magic caused the fire to spread rapidly, and the blue water magician who was originally standing on a high place was almost affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Lulutis saw that Yeshui's combat experience was not as good as Izarebi's. Several times in the magic battle, it seemed that Yeshui had the upper hand, but in fact, Izarebi was guiding Yeshui's wind magic to cooperate with his fire magic to cause greater damage.

Fire magic quickly accumulated in the venue, and the consequence of Yeshui's crazy use of wind magic was...

"Barrier!"

Lu Yu's voice was captured by the herald, and Lanshui's magician responded quickly after receiving the order.

Just as the water-attribute barriers were formed, explosions sounded in the purgatory-like sea of ​​fire.

At first, it sounded like the firecrackers that Lu Yu often set off during the New Year, crackling.

The later it was, the louder the explosion became, and tongues of fire spewed from the center of the explosion from time to time, shooting around.

After a thunderous explosion, Yeshui was blasted out of the sea of ​​fire by a huge force, and smoke was coming out of his body.

Lulutis was sharp-eyed and found that Izarebi also flew backwards at the same time, and instantly accelerated and disappeared into the night.

Ye Shui was not in a good condition. The overheated venue made her dehydrated during the battle, and her skin had countless wrinkles, as if she had aged by a dozen years.

Ye Shui, who was still smoking, kept coughing. Seeing the nervous expressions of Lu Yu and Sigrid, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, we mushroom people are like this. Once it's too hot, the body will have some special reactions, but it's only temporary."

This made Lu Yu and others feel relieved.

"Izarebi, very powerful."

Because the vision was blocked, no one could see what happened in the sea of ​​fire later. As soon as the person came out, he praised his opponent...

Lu Yu sighed in the chat room with worry: "Seven sticks... There are seven such people, it's really tricky."

Lulutis said: "You assign them the next task first, I will tell you about this later."

Lu Yu realized that Lulutis had something to say, and he did not ask immediately, but immediately informed the herald.

"No pursuit, let the magicians stop the fire from spreading, count the number of Celer casualties, and gather the useful spoils and weapons."

Yeshui was not surprised at all that Lu Yu would give such an order, and smiled as he went to find a place to rehydrate his body.

As for the werewolves, they had some opinions, but seeing that the mushrooms of Blue Water had begun to put out the fire, they could only start to dig up the equipment of the Celer people in frustration.

Because the Demon Fox did not have many people, the big and small Keluer who could only watch witnessed a great victory led by Lu Yu.

More than a thousand people fought against four thousand Celer elite cavalry, and their own casualties were negligible.

"Now I know why Yeshui is willing to trust this person and mobilize all the fifth-level of Blue Water and give him command."

Big Keluer looked at Lu Yu standing with Yeshui and couldn't help sighing.

First, by clearing the fields and fortifying the walls, Izarebi, who had always relied on the enemy for food, was forced to consider retreating.

Lu Yu guessed that Izarebi would struggle before retreating, so when Izarebi arrived at Blue Water City, he had already led the main forces of Blue Water and Moon Shadow Werewolf out of the city.

This also led to Izarebi always mistakenly believing that Blue Water City had no intention of fighting and only planned to hold on.

Through familiarity with the surrounding terrain, Blue Water's secret sentries could always obtain information about the actions of the Imperial Halberd and avoid the opponent's light cavalry who collected information.

The rest was a gamble. In Lu Yu's words, strategy depends not only on personal strength, but also on the weather and whether the opponent cooperates.

Izarebi was undoubtedly cooperative.

Lu Yu arranged the Lizardman tribe to act as actors and transported a large amount of food into the venue to attract the Imperial Halberd to reorganize on the spot. As long as Izarebi did not have the intention to continue to advance, he could take away the rations for one day's march and retreat quickly.

The reorganization on the spot exposed his ambition to continue to advance, and ultimately caused the Imperial Halberd to fall completely into the trap set by Lu Yu.

Izarebi had many opportunities to choose in this battle. As long as he was a little more rational, Lu Yu could only watch them leave, because Lu Yu only had a thousand people.

Although Lu Yu had the advantages of surprise attack, terrain and weather, people were not on his side.

The Moon Shadow Werewolf Envoy was willing to trust Lu Yu only because of Ye Shui, not completely trusting his judgment.

The limited force made Lu Yu only able to fight ambushes and surprise attacks, and he also seized this opportunity.

Xiao Keluer pulled her sister to Ye Shui and said with a smile: "It seems that he didn't lie to me."

"Oh, what did he tell you?"

"He is the Marquis of Seris and a pioneer of an empire."

The knights who are responsible for opening up the frontiers of a country are often ruthless characters. After hearing what Little Kelu'er said, Da Kelu'er suddenly had a more three-dimensional view of him.

The mushroom men and werewolves cleaning the battlefield were so surprised that they opened their mouths from ear to ear. The werewolves, who were dissatisfied with Lu Yu's order not to pursue, had no objections after hearing the record reported by the secretary and were convinced.

The Imperial Halberd lost more than 1,400 horses and more than 600 cavalrymen in this ambush.

The reason why it is necessary to report an "extra" is because the battle between Ye Shui and Izarebi triggered several explosions. Some corpses have been blown into pieces and blown away, making it impossible to count them.

Serier was proud of his long halberd, which went deep behind enemy lines, but half of it was cut off by Lu Yu in a battle.

This complete victory with less victory greatly boosted the morale of the three races. Before this, few races could win so beautifully against Selier, who was well-equipped and more dominant in overall strength.

Ye Shui excitedly hugged Lu Yu again and almost kissed him again.

The mist demon complained: "Vanessa probably didn't expect that her unintentional actions would affect Blue Water for so many years..."

Although everyone was very excited, Lu Yu seemed very calm.

He had an unexpected advantage, and it was another perfect ambush. In this way, he only managed to eliminate 1,400 horses. This number was quite different from the 2,500 that Lu Yu had estimated.

"Is this the strength of the empire's elite... How many opponents like this are there?"

The special envoy of Yueying Werewolf came to Lu Yu, and he was convinced and spoke very humbly.

"The souls of the tribes destroyed in Mostana will definitely be grateful to Lu Yu for your feat today. I'm sorry for doubting you before."

"On the occasion of this great victory, I would like to ask why you did not allow us to pursue, and why did you order the herald to inform us twice in a row that you only wounded but not killed?"

The werewolf's straightforward words made Lu Yu smile. He liked dealing with these straightforward people.

"It's very simple. I want to disintegrate their morale." Lu Yu explained seriously. "They went deep behind enemy lines to destroy the unity of the anti-Seliel alliance. What I want to do is to drive this weapon like a wedge to the Iris Demon." The army near the fox territory is passive."

"Wounded soldiers always need to be taken care of. Wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs cannot be healed even by magic. They can only become a black hole that continuously consumes supplies. Their negative emotions will also affect other soldiers with normal bodies."

"A commander, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, must not abandon these wounded soldiers, otherwise every soldier will be worried and timid during the battle, for fear that he will be next. Knowing that there is a gap in the strength of the troops and that it is impossible to completely annihilate the opponent, I decided to use Even if the commander of this army knew that I had done this deliberately, he would still have to endure it. "

"As for not pursuing pursuit, first of all, there is a gap in our military strength. I like to seek stability. Secondly..."

Lu Yu grinned proudly and chuckled: "Blue Water's messengers are already rushing to the major tribes along the way. I think they must have some special thoughts in their hearts after admiring the military appearance of Selier's remnant soldiers."
