Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 965 - 676: Battle Plan (Supplemental Update)
Riding a beautiful Unicorn gifted by the Elves, Sofia stopped on a protruding hill.
The massive Zeppelin airship hovered in mid-air, surrounded by countless Demon Beasts flying around it, while below the hill, the vast Elf Army filled the view, causing everyone who saw this scene to feel inevitably moved.
The Half-Elf Girl felt the same way.
Especially when she thought of the gathered Elves here, who had come from all over because of her request, her excitement grew, and naturally, she also felt some pressure.
However, Sofia knew that it might be more appropriate to call it a sense of responsibility rather than pressure.
A hundred thousand troops...
Such a number of troops, such elite equipment, even on the side of the empire, though it might not sweep everything before it, it would certainly attract significant attention from the upper echelons of the empire.
It’s important to know that even for the rebellion of the Border Earl, the empire only deployed the third Guard Corps, directly under the empire, and summoned some mercenaries.
The nearly hundred thousand strong Imperial Expedition Army hardly used any of the direct recruits provided by the Imperial Nobles. At most, the nobles controlling the Northern Border Territory of the Rosen family provided a lot of their household troops as auxiliaries and reserve corps...
Although under a slap from the "God of Dusk and Sunset," all participants turned to ashes, this was far from a real setback for the vast empire, merely a painful loss.
The strongest force in the Human Kingdom, the powerful empire that almost unified the entire Segis World, its strength is not just hearsay.
Even though it has declined significantly from its peak, a dead camel is still larger than a horse.
However, this is also because the Segis World is not like Blue Planet’s low-energy world.
The existence of supernatural powers makes every activity in this world appear more dynamic, with war potential and social production far superior to Blue Planet, and population booms more frequent...
If the entire empire’s war machine were to operate at full capacity, drafting a million troops, Sofia believes it could be done entirely.
Moreover, a terrifying proportion of these troops would be made up of High-level Professionals.
But, a supernatural world is ultimately a supernatural world.
In a supernatural world, sometimes quantity is frightening, but quality is more critical.
Take the Fengye Territory, for example. Although it is relatively prosperous among the empire’s dozens of territories (states), its war potential is far from being compared to the entire Holy Maniya Empire.
Yet, despite this, Border Earl Otto von Kapadocia still has the confidence to establish an independent nation, which is the courage given to him by the myth behind him...
Similarly, the gathering of a hundred thousand Elf Army around her, besides her commission, Sofia was very aware, was also the will of the Goddess!
Just like the amazement of those citizens before leaving Ash Harbor, this was already not just a girl’s commission, but also a holy war representing the will of the Goddess!
Of course, it was not without annoyances.
After officially setting out, Sofia frustratingly discovered that for some reason, the Elf Chosen Ones participating in the holy war loved to gather around her. Wherever she went, they followed, making it almost impossible for the girl to move.
Until she couldn’t help but complain to the commanders of the Elf Army’s several corps and the commander, Lord Li Mu, the Elves gradually stopped pestering her, giving her space to move freely.
Sofia didn’t know that this was the normal group-gathering effect in the game.
In any online game, players doing group tasks would habitually gather around the NPC handling the task to act together, partly to protect the NPC and partly to gain favor points.
And the Elves gradually stopped pestering her, not solely due to orders from the high-level commanders of the great guilds but also because they found that doing so didn’t seem to increase favor, and might even have reduced it by a few points...
As Sofia stood on the hillside, contemplating the future as she looked at the vast Elf Army below, suddenly, a fellow Elf Chosen One, also riding a Unicorn and accompanied by a flying Elemental Elf, approached the girl.
"Miss Sofia, all the Elf Chosen Ones participating in the battle have crossed the Vimur River, and the statue and the Teleportation Array have been set up. Next... what are your plans?"
It was Li Mu.
The statue he mentioned, of course, was the Goddess’s statue, meant specifically to maintain the operation of the Teleportation Array.
The Border Domain is now occupied by the forces of the God of Dusk and Sunset, and the Eternal Church has lost control over the entire territory, so the space blockade prohibiting teleportation naturally broke.
Although there is intelligence indicating that the statue of the God of Dusk and Sunset has replaced those in the various cities and villages in the Fengye Territory, and a new network of belief is rapidly forming, space blockade is only a matter of time...
But the Vimur River is close to the Elf Forest, so as long as the Goddess’s statue is placed here, it can still isolate the spatial blockade of the Evil God.
As for why set up the statue and Teleportation Array after crossing the river...
That was naturally because the vine bridge for the army to cross was merely a temporary spell cast by the girl using the True God’s power.
This kind of Divine Arts would shrink and dissipate after the time limit, so a more stable way for crossing the river and transporting troops had to be found.
