The "Moon String" swept across the sea like a water bird. At this time, the outline of the city can be seen in the distance. Ashu Rufate has very good vision, so it can be seen that it is indeed a small city - it can even be said to be just a small town. The rolling smoke does not come from the inside of the town, but is located in the suburbs and very close to the city wall. From the color, height and other signs of the smoke, it can be seen that it is a consequence of a large-scale arson burning at will.

No matter what happened, at least the small town has not been captured by the enemy.

The city walls of a small city have a kind of beauty that humans cannot achieve. Although they are just a small city, they still reflect the architectural style of the elves. A product that combines the three aspects of magnificence, beauty and practicality. From the perspective of Ashrufate, it is a bit waste to build a city wall that exists as a defensive measure so pleasing to the eye. I don’t know what the elves are like, but if humans want to build such a city wall, it is not impossible to do it, but it will take a long time, expensive and not cost-effective.

"Ashrufate, you have never seen this city?" Verino did not notice the real thoughts in Eshrufate. "This city has only been built for a few years, and it has not even been officially named."

While they were talking, the boat drove forward for a distance. Now, the elves' eyesight can also see the general situation on the shore.

"What happened?" Ashu Rufate asked. "It looked like a raid."

"It's just a surprise attack!" Verino's expression had changed drastically. The original smile on his face had disappeared without a trace, leaving only deep hatred. "It's our evil cousin...the dark elves!"

If it is a small town of this size... If it is a human town, even if the atmosphere is relatively tense, its garrison will not exceed fifty soldiers. Under normal circumstances, fifty soldiers can fight against attacks from 300 to 500 enemies based on city walls and other fortifications. Ashrufate does not know the specific situation of the elves' battle and defense, but he estimates that this aspect should not be too different from that of humans.

"Captain, I saw the enemy. They had at least three hundred people, and I saw a cold beast." The lookout hand shouted loudly at this time.

"Prepare to dock!" Verino ordered loudly.

"Captain," said Ashu Rufate. He glanced at the elves gathered on the ship - the total soldiers of the warship were only fifty. This number is certainly not small for a warship, but in land operations, it is only half a squadron, which is really not worth mentioning. "We cannot dock directly from here... We see the enemy now, which means that the enemy also sees us. Once we try to dock, they will take action immediately, and they have enough troops to block the city gates on the one hand, and come to meet our army on the other hand. Why not from there," Ashu Rufate pointed to the other side of the coast. "While it is invisible to land at that location where the enemy cannot see it, it may take a little more time, but I think it is worth it. Then we circle around in a small circle, from the side back to the rear of the enemy to see if we can do something."

"What to do?" Other opinions were easily accepted by Captain Verino, and he was puzzled by one sentence.

"If the Dark Elves can't break through the small city and just demonstrate, then we don't have to fight. After all, they are too many." Ashrufate said. "We might as well send people to follow them and see where they come from and how many they are. It's even more valuable than attacking directly and defeating them."

Verino looked at Ashurufate, and then he immediately gave his subordinates the order to turn the ship.

In fact, as Ash Rufate judged, when the lookout hand on the ship saw the situation on the land, the other party also noticed the elf warship.

"A warship?" The commander of the Dark Elf took a few minutes to judge the situation. But some things could not be hidden from others. Soon he realized that this was a medium-sized warship, and there would be no more than eighty people on the warship. This number of reinforcements could not change the balance of forces on the battlefield. Just as he was dispatching troops to prepare to give a head-on attack when the elves on the ship was docking, he found that the warship had circled and sailed in the direction they were coming.

There is no doubt that the ship seemed not to be a full warship, ready to fight at any time, but an empty ship—there were only a dozen sailors on the ship. In this case, the sailors' most urgent task was to spread the news of the attack on the town.

Of course, the dark elves don't need to care about these things. They were not prepared for a protracted war, so they let the sailors report their demise. On the contrary, he cared more about his siege.

Yuezhixian quickly landed on the beach with the sailor's skillful boat driving skills. Because the number of people was not particularly large, just a few minutes later, Ashu Rufate followed all the elves warriors to the shore. What surprised him was that his joining did not make the elves feel inappropriate. In fact, everyone, including Verino, took Ashu Rufate's joint action with them for granted. One soldier even found a pair of bows and arrows for him. Ashu Rufate wanted to refuse, but finally accepted the good intention. After all, the book records that the elves are very good at using bows and arrows. If he wanted to pretend to be an elf, he could not refuse to use such weapons.

There were only a dozen sailors left on the ship. In fact, only sixteen sailors were needed on the warship to control them. Dinaser was also with them. Only now did Asu Ruffat realize that Dinaser was actually an elf magician.

The mountains are on the beach, which brings them good cover. Ashu Rufate's previous estimates of the elves were proven to be correct. The elves wearing armored war skirts were quite agile and could easily cross complex terrain, and were not as dull and slow as the "can" style of human knights.

Of course, then again, walking combat is not the strength of the knights.

The number of dark elves is actually only a few hundred. It is impossible for this level of troops to be scattered everywhere, but it is a bit strange that they did not send out sentinels. Of course, this question was quickly answered.

At a small hill, Ash Rufate smelled the smell of blood and immediately found the body of the dark elves in one fell swoop along the smell of blood. In fact, there is no big difference between the dark elves and the Divine Martial Elf in appearance. The only difference is that both sides are dressed in armor. Verino and his subordinates quickly found several key evidence on the body, proving that the deceased should be sent by the dark elves.

"Someone is helping us?" Ashu Rufate asked Verino in confusion.

"It should be the elves of the city." Verlino judged. "They left the city before the enemy surrounded him, so they are now harassing the enemy's periphery in guerrilla ways."

This judgment is reasonable, but Ashu Rufate still cares a little about the fatal wounds on the dead. Rather than saying that this was a skillful sneak attack behind the back. The dead dark elf had only one wound on his body, which happened to be on his neck.

"Master, I feel someone else's presence." Carrie suddenly warned in her mind as Ashu Rufate studied the body to analyze the scene of the raid.

"In the pile of stones and shrubs on your right, I felt the existence of life energy... that was not your elf companion."

Ashu Rufate stood up, he pulled the bow and arrow, aiming at the direction Carrie guided. "Who is it, come out!" He shouted loudly. Hearing his voice, the elf warriors also became alert and looked at the position where the bow and arrow pointed. More than one elf warrior put away his spear and took off the bow and arrow.

A figure rose from the stones and shrubs. It was an elf wearing a camouflage cloak, covering half of his face with a veil, revealing only his eyes. The elf held a longbow with a fine craftsmanship in his hand and a long sword on his waist. He had just been hiding perfectly, and if Carrie had not reminded him, Eshu Rufate's superhuman senses had not noticed his existence.

"Who are you?" Verinor asked. At this time, at least ten bows were pulled apart and pointed at the lurker.

"My name is Xunfeng." The weirdly dressed elf replied. "Are you troops coming to rescue?"

"It's the Shadow Warrior, our fellow countrymen." Verino exhaled and lowered his bow and arrow. But his expression was a little unfavorable. "I am Verino, the son of Goth, the captain of the 'Moonstring' battleship, and the captain of the Marine Corps... I'm here because I'm on a cruise mission, but I see someone trying to attack the city... Are you the defender of the city?"

"Yes, my new home was raided by the enemy." Xunfeng performed a simple bowing ceremony. "Luckily, my dear fellow citizens, you finally came. I'm sorry, but we really don't have time to say anything polite, the situation is very critical. Our evil cousins ​​have surrounded the city, and their number is three hundred or even more, and all the defenders in and outside the city will not exceed forty."

"How is the city's defense?" Ashu Rufate interjected.

"My comrades will try their best to resist." Xunfeng replied. "But the enemy is preparing weapons for siege. If they do not care about the strong attack of casualties, our defense will probably not be able to withstand it."

"Is there a suitable location nearby? Let's first check out the enemy's formation situation?"

"Some." Xunfeng replied. Ashurufat noticed that the other party's introduction just now was very simple, but he guessed that this might be because of the specific environment that Xunfeng could not act according to normal etiquette. "Just beside you, go around here and you can see the specific situation of the enemy's army in a few minutes. Because I killed the sentry they sent here, I believe that they can safely observe their specific arrangements from that location."

"Dineser, take them here to wait, I'll go up and take a look." Verino ordered. However, his words were said to his subordinates. Asu Ruffat followed him up, Verino had no objection.

They soon arrived at the place Xunfeng said. This observation position was very good and could clearly see the situation below. Ashurufat saw that the soldiers of the dark elves were wondering about some strange shelves, with prisoners tied to them.

"What are those for?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"There are some civilians who didn't have time to escape into the city, including women and children." Xunfeng replied, his voice full of hatred. "They want to burn these prisoners publicly to stolen them to intimidate us or to lure us into battle."
