Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Even Windlow could smell the blood in the air before he had walked far.

The entire village had been completely destroyed and its residents had been massacred.

"It was done by other dark elves, and even by Kane's assassins, but they did not get the intelligence they wanted."

Slowly grabbing a corpse, Mousse was very familiar with this method. Only dark elves would vent such hatred and slaughter against high elves.

Even to torture intelligence, all extreme measures will be taken.

Ha, I have been traveling in the human world with Windlow for too long, and I am almost forgetting the customs of my fellow countrymen.

Isn't this a kind of backwardness? But, let's just lag behind.

He slowly raised a shovel, dug out graves one after another, and buried the bodies of the high elves in them.

The Dark Elves never bury the bodies of their enemies. Except for the captives, the other enemies who died in battle will be left in the wilderness to rot slowly.

"Don't worry. According to the custom of the dark elves, we will not return to the plundered place for the second time in the short term."

As Mousse said, after plundering a village, the dark elves rarely return to plunder again.

There is plenty of time to do some things, including burying the dead.

"Do you also pretend to be kind, Drucci?"

"No, I just think it's a pity. Such an undefended village not only failed to delay Malekith's army, but also had a lot of resources plundered. This is a failure and does not fit my plan."

There was no thought between Izeshi and Mousse.

On the contrary, Leslie, the wood elf, was very frightened and surprised.

As a wood elf who lived peacefully in the forest, she had seen her compatriots die.

It’s just that the elves generally have a long lifespan, and there is often a long interval between the deaths of individuals.

Seeing so many corpses of his compatriots at the same time would inevitably make the wood elf feel afraid. This is the most basic instinct and there is nothing wrong with it. It just takes time to accept.

Wendlow got some information about what was to come from Mousse's reaction.

The corpse showed no signs of decay, which could only mean that the dark elf army had just left this place not far away.

According to the location calculation, they are probably about ten kilometers away. If we know their destination, we can quickly catch up with the dark elf army.

"Looking for supplies, leaving no slaves behind, and marching quickly. They must have gone to Phoenix Gate."

Izexi has many years of experience fighting dark elves, so he naturally knows their behaviors and habits.

Phoenix Gate is the northernmost fortress in the entire Ulthuan Archipelago, responsible for protecting the safety of the Inner Ring Kingdoms.

If the Phoenix Gate is captured, the dark elf army will march straight into the heart of the Kingdom of Avalon, and the scale of the war will expand.

It is also because of this that the high elves will definitely retain a large number of troops at the Phoenix Gate for defense.

But...

Unlike the Dark Elves who have been plundering slaves and waging wars all the time, the High Elves have been at peace for a very, very long time.

The last large-scale war broke out was the Battle of Longbeard thousands of years ago.

Although the high elves retained the militia system and stipulated that all elven civilians must have 20 years of conscripted military experience in their lifetime.

But there is certainly no way to compare with the dark elves who have been fighting all their lives.

And for the defending side, it doesn't matter if the other side gradually increases its troops. At most, they can slowly wear them down, or even train soldiers.

Now both the high elves and the dark elves are very clear about one thing.

For the attacker, a quick victory is always the top priority.

The Dark Elves will attack as quickly as possible.

"Phoenix Gate!"

Izexi and Mousse said the name of this fortress at the same time. The former certainly knew the nearby terrain and how to reach the Phoenix Gate Fortress.

Heading eastwards and passing through various elven forests, everyone finally saw the outline of the Phoenix Gate.

A huge mountain canyon with more rugged terrain than Hemgate Fortress.

Over ten thousand years of repairs and maintenance by the high elves have made the entire Phoenix Gate a very difficult battlefield to defend against enemies.

The more than 30-meter-high city wall has completely blocked the entire valley, with only one gate leading to the outside world, which has been reinforced with magic and steel.

You can even see that the magic tower on the city wall has been fully charged and is emitting bursts of light blue light.

The high elves are ready.

Two teams of Eagle Claw crossbows have been set up on the platform, and high elf spearmen equipped with scale armor, spears and shields are already guarding the city walls.

Although we can't see what's deployed behind the city wall, there must be a large number of troops gathered there.

Outside the city wall, the dark elf army has already assembled.

Eighteen phalanxes, a total of more than a thousand elf troops. It seems that there are indeed a lot of siege troops coming this time.

At the same time, you can also see from afar a dread lord completing the deployment of his army, and a sorceress extracting the souls of slaves to obtain the wind of magic.

"Druchi, when do you usually launch an attack?"

"Asul, that's a good question. Let me tell you straight away, the dark elves will attack right now!"

As Mousse finished speaking, the Lord of Terror in the dark elf formation swung his sword, and all the dark elf troops began to run towards the city wall.

The Dread Spearmen at the front put away their spears, and a row of people carried siege ladders and charged forward.

After running a few dozen meters forward, he entered the attack range of the high elf magic tower.

The magical energy gathered at the top of the tower and finally turned into magic light bullets that poured down, directly evaporating the six fear spearmen in a vertical row.

But the surviving Dread Spearmen continued their charge, desperately trying to place siege ladders on top of the city walls.

If one accomplishes the feat of being the first to reach the summit, he will naturally be able to gain unparalleled wealth and status.

But they were obviously deceived by the Lord of Dread. There was no benefit in launching the first attack except the enemy's magic and rain of arrows.

As they approached the city wall, the high elf archers launched the first round of volleys.

Although their shields could protect against the arrows, they were too numerous to withstand.

Two rounds of arrows poured down, and only the last man was left alive in the entire team of Dread Spearmen.

He finally broke down, and stopped carrying the siege ladder, trying madly to escape the battlefield.

On the city wall, an accurate arrow was shot from 200 meters away and pierced the deserter's neck.

"There's no need to keep watching. The dark elves can't take down the Phoenix Gate. Once the high elves' reinforcements arrive, everything will be over."

Izexi shook his head repeatedly.

"How could the dark elves be like this? They can't even touch the Phoenix Gate. It's so disappointing."

Mousse, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, and looked very happy.

"Yes, that's right. Continue to consume Malekith's troops."
