"This is likely to be a trap." Before Ash Rufate could speak, Arasut said this first.

Garles' expression clearly illustrates his dissatisfaction, but he did not speak.

"Garles, it is an incredible thing for us evil cousins ​​to stay in the mining area all the time." Arrathet reminded. From his personal perspective, it was so cool to look at Garles' expression full of dissatisfaction but unable to speak. This expression has been a long time since Merarel became his lover, this is the second time he has seen Garles show this expression. "From common sense, no matter how hard they are, they should try to send troops to recover Ash Star Harbor. And they have no action at all, so it is easy to guess that there is a fraud."

Ashu Rufat looked at Gales.

"Your Highness, Prince." Gars said anxiously. For some reason, after knowing that Gars was the 'surveillance', Ashu Rufat felt that his four words "Your Highness, Prince" were really unwilling. "The fighter planes were fleeting, but no matter what, we cannot deny that the Truzis did stay in the mining area and didn't move."

Ashrufa nodded. He left several teams of shadow warriors responsible for investigating the situation in the mining area. Based on the current rewards of the shadow warriors and other sources of information, it is certain that the main force of the Truji in the Nagaros area did not move in the mining area. To be honest, this is a difficult mystery.

"In other words, whether it is a trap or it is really a fatal flaw exposed by the enemy, we at least don't have to worry about being attacked by our evil cousins ​​halfway."

Ashrufate fully agrees with this. If the enemy in the mining area acts, he will receive information. There is a difference in distance between the two sides. If Ashrufate set out from Grey Star Port to the Dark Elves' royal city, it will take about twenty days, and after a rushing march, the speed can be doubled. In contrast, the main force of the Dark Elves in the mining area will have three more days to go than him.

"If this is a trap, then the key to the trap must be in the royal city. Perhaps they are not drawing troops, but strengthening their troops... Maybe it is something else, in short, it should be in this regard."

"We march towards the royal city all the way, what cities will we encounter on the road?" Ashurufat turned his head and asked Arast.

"If we were to go the nearest road," Arathet recalled the records on the map. "There should be several cities, but they should not be enough to stop our troops, otherwise we would not have been safe here for so long."

"Your Highness, this may be a trap, but it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Garce's eyes seemed to have a dangerous light flashed. "Besides, even if it is a trap, as long as we are careful, we will not fall into it."

Arast hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

"Prince, this is a key thing. The Expeditionary Force could not do more, but now... if we succeed, it would be a fatal blow to our evil cousin."

This is not an exaggeration. Ashu Rufate himself knew very well that if the expeditionary force had any final goal, it was nothing more than a few. The best result was of course that Ashu Rufate raided and destroyed the portal, cut off the dark elves' front-line troops from behind, making them unable to advance or retreat, and then trapped to death on the land they occupied. In this way, the Shenwu elves not only won this battle, but could even destroy the dark elves in one fell swoop. Of course, this possibility only exists in theory. Ashu Rufate never expected such a result, or that he had never expected the dark elves to make such stupid mistakes.

The second result is to constantly ravage the land of the dark elves until they cannot bear it and eventually retreat from the front line. However, judging by the current situation, the limited strength of the expeditionary force has made them unable to achieve such a goal. Of course, if Ash Rufate's opportunity to annihilate the main force of the dark elves through a landslide, such an effect might be produced. This result is also Ash Rufate's original goal - the Dark Elf Front Force retreated, in order to prevent the portal from being used by the enemy, it would inevitably be destroyed. Then Ash Rufate can go to the ruins and easily get the chip he was looking for.

Of course, there is a last result, that is, the Expeditionary Force destroys an unusually critical place, causing the dark elves to be unable to continue the war. For example, the mining area, or their royal city.

If the Dark Elf's royal city is captured, there may be no fundamental change in strength comparison, but the morale strike of the army... it may be fatal. After all, Anfoglis is just a border city, and Dosonian is also located in a desolate place. Although Gray Star Port is an important commercial port, it is not irreplaceable to the Dark Elf. But if news of the fall of the royal city comes, it will probably immediately make the dark elves on the front line lose their fighting spirit. No matter what impact it has on the battle situation, it is normal.

No, it should be said that the dark elves would not allow such things to happen. This is equivalent to shaking the foundation of the witch king's rule. With Ash Rufate's current understanding of the dark elves, the witch king will not tolerate such things. The witch king should leave some troops to maintain the security of the royal city... If Ash Rufate is at the city, the witch king will probably withdraw from the portal immediately. Failure in an offensive battle and the loss of the royal city are two completely different concepts.

"Prince! Please think clearly that we have plenty of time to check if this matter is a trap. But there will be no such rare fighter jet."

Araset also turned his head to look at Ashu Rufate. "Prince, although I think there is a fraud, it should be... Our army sets off immediately now, which is the most perfect countermeasure. As long as we are cautious, we can avoid even if there are traps. The most important thing is that the distance between us and our cousins ​​in the mining area is that we can definitely be faster than them."

"But if they choose a cavalry and rush on the road with light ..."

"If this is the case, we don't need to be afraid. We can just face them from the front!" Gars said loudly.

"Arathut, bring the map." Ashurufat ordered. If Arathut was not wrong, it means he has three to four days...it is definitely correct to spend half a day proofreading the terrain. "Garce, call Xunfeng and Kai."

If the war could be ended in this way... it would be very good. When Arathut went to get the map, Ashu Rufate thought silently in his heart.

...

Although it is not a magic map, the overall situation of the geography can be clearly understood through this ancient map. Of course, at this time, Araset had already supplemented the city location of the dark elves on the map, so this ancient map can be used as a military map.

"The key to this battle lies in the speed of the march." Kay quickly expressed his opinion. "If both sides are rushing to the road with all their might, we will definitely arrive three or four days earlier than they were. But it must be noted that our evil cousin may organize a light-fast unit to ambush our army midway."

"Ambushes require the cooperation of terrain. There are only a few places suitable for ambushing on our road. When these positions, you only need to send scouts to observe carefully, which will not stop us from much time. Besides, the scouts who are responsible for monitoring the mining area have not yet heard of the enemy's army's departure. Not to mention, the large-scale transfer of the army cannot be concealed." Garce said. "I think the three cities we passed along the way... they may send troops to harass our army."

"Not afraid, we have dragons. It is very suitable to use dragons to deal with harassing guerrilla troops without the support of the main force. They come to die."

"Everyone, if this is a trap, then what should it be?" Ashu Rufate suddenly asked.

"If this is a trap... If I were to arrange this trap, it would be like this: the news of the mobilization of the royal city defenders is fake, and our army can only retreat after arriving... When retreating, they will inevitably be exhausted due to long marchs. Then they will send an elite light-equipped unit to attack us midway. There is no need for terrain cooperation, but to take advantage of our army's exhausted disadvantage to defeat us head-on." Garce thought for a while and said.

"If it were me, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Since I could forge the news of the mobilization of the defenders, why not just increase the garrison troops in the royal city? When we arrive, we will just face our army with superior forces." Kai retorted.

"Is this news reliable?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"The news from the Emerald Queen shows that at least the enemy has digged the royal city guards is not false." Garce hesitated for a moment, and finally said. "The relevant news comes from an absolutely reliable secret channel, which has been tested for enough loyalty."

"But this matter is of great importance and needs to be reviewed and confirmed again."

"I will mention this to the Queen," Garce replied. "We have enough time to confirm."

Ashu Rufat looked at the map and pondered... This was a very perfect time difference, a rare fighter jet. But it was precisely because of the suddenness and perfection that he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

However, rationally told him clearly that even if this is a trap, he had enough chance to avoid it. No matter what tricks the dark elves set, as long as he was a little careful, he would not be fooled. From this point of view, making this attempt would be a profitable deal.

What's wrong?

"No matter what, gather the army first and set off." Ashu Rufat made up his mind. He had plenty of time and decided after trying this time. "Come the great masters. This time I also want to make sure that no one can use magic during the march of my army!"

...

"Prince Ashurufat is in action." In the mining area, Lord Siris got this information from his subordinates. Just like the Shenwu elves sent a scout team to reconnaise the enemy's movements in the mining area, the dark elves also sent scouts to observe every move of Grey Star Port.

"It's true. Master," Loki smiled flatteringly beside him. "Sure enough, even Prince Ashu Rufat can't resist such food temptations."
