Chapter 374: Near the Imperial Capital

After the Canaan Empire responded, it immediately demonstrated the strength and speed of a great country. The troops stationed in the north on the newly determined border between the Canaan Empire and the Dark Night Empire did not withdraw, but the troops that were originally moving to the north stopped marching and returned to their original garrisons.

In theory, the threat of the sea tribe in the south is a naval matter and has nothing to do with the war on land. But Canaan V did not think that the sea tribe that claimed that the Canaan Sea was their territory would stay in the sea peacefully. Moreover, in the case of external threats, who can guarantee that the kingdoms that the Canaan Empire can suppress and use for military training will not take the opportunity to counterattack?

In this way, at Yu Fei's request, Tang Yijia took the initiative to attract the attention of the Canaan Empire from the north to the South China Sea, and the crisis of the Dark Night Empire collapsed. As for whether the sea tribe and the Naga tribe led by Tang Yijia would suffer losses in the battle with the Canaan Empire, there is no need to worry at all.

Just like Yu Fei plundered resources through smuggling throughout the human world, Tang Yijia now sees the Canaan Empire as a target for energy supply, and will only become stronger and stronger.

The matter is over, and Yu Fei has no reason to stay in the sea tribe. During this period of time, he felt more and more that the atmosphere between the two was becoming ambiguous. Although there was some small joy in his heart, the indescribable feeling still made him choose to leave first.

Benshu is a man who wants to do big things, how could he be tempted by a mere loli! If Tang Yijia's rotten attribute is not so serious, I might fall. Shaking his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Yu Fei rode on the sacred giant wolf and galloped towards the direction of the Dark Night Empire.

Just as the situation in the southern part of the Canaan Empire was changing, the Holy Lion Empire was also mobilizing military forces. Although Marshal Spindu felt a little uneasy because of the frequent dispatch of the night elves, he still firmly believed that the invasion army of the Dark Night Empire would never enter the heartland of the empire without passing through Inno Pass, so he stayed in Inno Pass.

As the imperial army gradually assembled, the uneasiness in Marshal Spendu's heart gradually disappeared. Looking at the regular report of the night elf army attack on the desk, Marshal Spendu showed a sneer. Guerrilla warfare? Let's see if you can still fight guerrilla warfare under the sweep of a million troops!

Spendu didn't know that the night elf army, which he thought would not be able to jump for long, was actually approaching the capital of the Holy Lion Empire.

After crossing the Inno Pass with Farion's flying magic, the more than 60,000 night elf troops led by Illidan chose to advance in hidden places and had quietly advanced a long distance in the heart of the Holy Lion Empire.

Of course, they would not be discovered by adventurers and the like during this period, but even the mercenary groups with a large number of people and strong strength were killed by the night elves, and ordinary adventurers could not pass on the news of discovering the night elves.

With several heroes with epic strength as a guarantee, no one who discovered the traces of the night elves could escape. In this way, under the dual effects of the Swiftness Aura of the Earth Druid Serabir and the Wind Control Magic of the Sky Druid Furion, more than 60,000 night elf troops quietly arrived at a place only 300 kilometers away from the capital of the Holy Lion Empire in a few days.

That's right, Illidan had the idea of ​​directly destroying the capital of the Holy Lion Empire. Unlike the capital of King Lindon, the Holy Imperial Capital is not at the same level as King Lindon in terms of the strength of the army stationed and the number of strong men.

Therefore, Maiev did not think of implementing the decapitation tactic in the war with the Holy Lion Empire this time, and staged the grand scene of one person slaughtering the city again. If she was really exposed in the Holy Imperial Capital, it would be difficult to escape even with the magical skill of Flash.

However, one Maiev is not enough, aren't there several other heroes of the same level? Moreover, more than 60,000 night elf warriors are not vegetarians. Facing only a Holy Imperial Capital instead of the entire Holy Lion Empire, Illidan is confident that he can lead his army to achieve this plan that will shock the entire Esraz.

As the father god of the night elves, Yu Fei certainly knew Illidan's plan and was very satisfied with it. After all, even if the Dark Night Empire conquered half of the Holy Lion Empire, they would not be willing to hand over the Heart of Light; and if they conquered the Holy Imperial Capital, it was not up to them to decide whether to hand it over or not. At worst, they could just snatch it openly.

However, the night elf troops were temporarily unable to advance in secret. Within the 300-kilometer range from their current location to the Holy Imperial Capital, there were no mountains and jungles for the night elves to hide easily. In addition, this 300-kilometer range was also the most prosperous area of ​​the Holy Lion Empire. It was impossible for the night elves to continue advancing without being discovered.

Of course, this did not mean that Illidan would give up his plan to attack the Holy Imperial Capital. After waiting for three days in the current position, he finally waited for the opportunity to come.

Facing the aggressive invasion of the Dark Night Empire, the Holy Lion Empire, in addition to eliminating the 200,000 elite imperial guards led by Marshal Spender as a diversion, also began to gather military forces across the country to prepare to eliminate the invading army of the Dark Night Empire in one fell swoop.

More than ten days after Marshal Spindu "successfully" blocked the Dark Night Empire's invading army west of Inno Pass, the Holy Lion Empire finally assembled what they believed to be enough troops - 1.5 million standing troops.

This 1.5 million army is not like the soldiers of ordinary small countries, which are basically composed of able-bodied men. The most basic soldiers are all apprentice-level professionals. A large part of the soldiers have reached the level of Black Iron, which can be said to be an extremely elite force - after all, the number is there.

After Illidan waited for three days, the 1.5 million army of the Holy Lion Empire finally set out and began to march towards the Inno Pass. Of course, such a large number of troops means that the marching speed will be very slow, and Illidan will have to wait for a while before implementing the plan.

Finally, when the first batch of troops of the Holy Lion Empire crossed the Inno Pass, Illidan decided to start the action. At this time, the enemy's 1.5 million troops had all left the vicinity of the Holy Imperial Capital, and the night elf troops no longer had to worry about it.

And if they wait any longer, when the enemy's million-strong army pulls a net to search west of Inno Pass, they will definitely find something strange. At that time, the effect of the surprise attack will be gone.

Since the decision to launch an attack was made, Illidan simply called back the Raptor Druid troops that had been playing tricks on the west side of Inno Pass to participate in the next battle. At this time, any combat effectiveness would increase the possibility of the plan's success.

After the Raptor Druids transformed into Storm Crows, their flying speed was faster than that of the Hippogryphs, and they soon returned to the team. At this time, all the troops sent by the Dark Night Empire were only 300 kilometers away from the capital of the Holy Lion Empire, while the army of the Holy Lion Empire had just been transferred to the west of Inno Pass to start looking for traces of the night elves.

Illidan, who summoned his men, chose to actively expose the existence of the night elves, and changed his original method of advancing covertly and getting as close to the Holy Imperial Capital as possible, and began to forcefully advance.

In the next 300 kilometers where they could not advance covertly, there were a total of four cities and a pass between the night elf troops and the Holy Imperial Capital.

Two of the cities were small cities, which were not a problem. However, the remaining two cities and a pass were obstacles that the night elves needed to overcome. Kervo City, Bolivar City and West Holy Pass.

Kervo City is famous for the Kervo Family in the city. Although the Kervo Family is not suffixed with the word "holy", it is second only to several holy families in the Holy Lion Empire. As the place where the Kervo Family lives, the power it possesses cannot be underestimated.

Bolivar City is a city with extremely developed commerce in the Holy Lion Empire. Many chambers of commerce and families have branches in Bolivar City, and there are many adventurers in the city. Although there are not many garrisons because it is located within the empire, it is also a big obstacle.

In addition, as a place with developed commerce, Bolivar City has a lot of resources needed by the night elves.
