Chapter 357 Dispatching Troops
In addition to the two empires, there are some countries that are far weaker than the three empires that need to be considered. Although even the kingdoms are much weaker than the empires, there are many small countries. Apart from other things, if the Dark Night Empire wants to attack the Holy Lion Empire, it has to go through two kingdoms and several principalities in a straight line.
Not to mention that these countries may have been controlled by the Holy Lion Empire to a certain extent, even if they were not controlled, as human countries, it is impossible to watch the Dark Night Empire's army pass through their territory.
In other words, in order to seize the Heart of Light, the Night Elves will not only attack the Holy Lion Empire, but also affect more human countries. The problem is that Yu Fei feels that now is not the time to be hostile to the entire human world, and he must think of a reason to make everyone think that the Dark Night Empire is only targeting the Holy Lion Empire.
After thinking for a long time, Yu Fei still has no clue. Shaking his head, he gave up thinking about this problem himself. Forget it, it turns out that otakus are not suitable for conspiracies and tricks. If it doesn't work, just release the reason given to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Anyway, whether humans believe it or not, the elves will believe it.
The local elf foreign minister was quite fast. It took only one day to negotiate with the Holy Lion Empire through the envoys stationed in the Dark Night Empire.
As for the result of the negotiation, you only need to look at the envoys who angrily evacuated the Dark Night Empire. When the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported the results of the negotiation to Yu Fei with helplessness on his face, he once again proposed to be the vanguard, but it was still rejected.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs was very fast, and Illidan was not slow either. Just two days after the envoys of the Holy Lion Empire stationed in the Dark Night Empire evacuated the Dark Night Empire, Illidan had led a considerable number of night elf troops directly to the border of the Dark Night Empire.
This time, after several months of crazy expansion, the troops dispatched by the night elves were no longer as shabby as when they attacked the Kingdom of Severn.
Night Elf Archers, 20,000. Thirty percent of them are elite archers, with the number of Lightning Archers and Wind Archers split in half. Only 30 percent are elite because without war, there are too few ways for newly trained Night Elves to gain experience.
The soldiers trained by the evolved War Ancient Tree are elite as soon as they come out. In order to maximize the experience gained from the Warcraft Mountains to enhance the strength of the Night Elves, the second-tier soldiers are generally upgraded first - they are only ordinary when trained, and even their wisdom is a problem, so they must be upgraded to elite level at least first.
Of course, the 70 percent of elite archers should not be underestimated, because in the case of extremely abundant energy, each archer is equipped with a full set of soldier-specific equipment. Regardless of protective gear, just the attribute weapons make each archer a rare magic archer in Eslaze - this number is as high as 30,000.
Huntresses, 20,000. Also 30 percent are elite, and the same full body soldier-specific equipment. It is worth mentioning that the female hunters are now heavy armor units, which can be said to be able to resist and fight.
Hippogryph Knights, 10,000. It is precisely because the Hippogryph Knights need an archer and a Hippogryph to combine that the number of night elf archers dispatched is only 20,000. Only 20% of the Hippogryph Knights are elite, but they can play a greater role than archers on the ground with the advantage of air force.
Claw Druids, 8,000. This is the main type of troops that Yu Fei trained after the establishment of the Dark Night Empire and sufficient energy. Claw Druids have the ability to transform and can freely play various roles such as tanks, warriors, mages and even nannies. They are really an excellent type of troops that are necessary for home travel, murder and arson.
There are relatively few elite-level claw druids among these 8,000 claw druids, and most of them were upgraded during the last expedition to the small countries outside the Windwhispering Forest and the Kingdom of Severn. Only 1,000 of these claw druids are elite, but the other 7,000 have reached the elite level by hunting monsters under special care.
Raptor Druids, 3,000, of which 500 are elites, and the rest are elites. Raptor Druids are auxiliary arms, so the number of trained ones is not large. If they were not strong enough after transforming into Storm Crows, and could serve as a supplement to the Hippogryph Knights, there would not be 3,000.
Dryads, 5,000, of which 800 are elites, and the rest are elites. The attack methods of dryads are somewhat similar to those of archers, but their movement speed is faster than that of huntresses. In Yu Fei's eyes, they exist as archer cavalry. In addition to limited magic immunity and agile speed, they are an excellent arm to snipe human mage units.
Elf Dragons, 1,000, of which 200 are elites, and the rest are elites. As an arm specifically targeting magicians, Yu Fei feels that there is really no need to train too many Elf Dragons. If it were not for the fact that the Holy Lion Empire has a rich heritage and a large number of magicians, he would think 1,000 Elf Dragons are too many.
Mountain Giants, 1,000, of which 200 are elites, and the rest are elites. Don't think too much, just think of these 1,000 mountain giants as 1,000 medium-sized catapults with strong mobility plus dozens of mobile city walls. Of course, the combat effectiveness of these city walls is not weak when in close combat.
In Yu Fei's opinion, the only Warcraft soldier who is tougher than the mountain giant is the dragon turtle of the Naga tribe, but it is only a little tougher. In terms of quantity, only fifty of Tang Yijia's dragon turtles appeared, and there may be some hidden ones, but they are definitely not as good as the mountain giants with a number of up to one thousand.
Walking with these one thousand mountain giants is a kind of pressure. The large-scale vibration of the ground can only be tolerated by other soldiers of the night elf tribe. Ordinary human soldiers will probably be shaken to the ground by the movement of the mountain giants before the battle.
Now the number of night elf soldiers that Yu Fei has is about 150,000, but this time he dispatched nearly 70,000. This shows that he is determined to win the Heart of Light.
At the same time, Yu Fei was also thinking in his heart that the strength of the Holy Lion Empire is about a quarter of the entire human world. If the Holy Lion Empire can be defeated this time, doesn't it mean that the strength of the night elves only needs to double to sweep the human world?
Thinking of this, Yu Fei couldn't help but get excited. Relying on the magic crystal mines that are still being mined in the occupied territory, as well as the magic crystals and magic cores that are continuously transported from the Shadow Kingdom, it is not difficult to double the number of night elves. It only takes time.
In addition to the 70,000 troops, many hero units will also participate in this first war after the establishment of the Dark Night Empire.
In addition to the demon hunter Illidan who led the army, the moon knight Luna, the sky druid Furion, the earth druid Serabir, the fairy dragon Ysera and the mountain giant hero Tino are also in the team. There is also the watcher Maiev Shadowsong who did not follow the army but will also participate in the war.
The rest of the heroes, such as Tyrande, are inconvenient to fight because they are the moon god priests; the night sentinel Avril and other heroes evolved from the soldiers did not participate in the war because they had to leave heroes to guard several sub-bases and even take charge of the task of the northern ice channel.
Of course, this also means that there is some hidden strength. In terms of the individual strength of the heroes, Tyrande, the first trained hero, and Avril, the first evolved soldier, did not fight; in terms of the strength of the legion, Tyrande's Moon Guard did not fight.
The Moon Guard is not only strong in itself, but also has legion skills that can certainly play a considerable role in the war, especially with the bloodworms specially captured and cultivated by the night elves, which can make the night elves in small-scale battles almost immortal.
The strongest hero and the strongest troops are not dispatched. Is it possible for Yu Fei to defeat the Holy Lion Empire and seize the Heart of Light with less than half of the night elf troops?
Of course! Yu Fei never doubted whether he could win this war.
