Meanwhile, Lyanna led the remaining elven forces to continue their fierce attack on the main orc force near Skyhold, striving to effectively advance the battle line and reverse the war situation there.
Five days later.
Taking advantage of the elven army's strength, Su Lin launched a surprise attack on the orc forces besieging the city from the rear. These two orc forces were not large, totaling only about 70,000 to 80,000, and they were divided into two groups and stationed in the wilderness. Su Lin managed to defeat them both.
After Sulin dealt with the orc forces in the rear, he received news on his return journey that Lyanna had launched a night raid on the orc base on the fortress front. Her arrows were like the sun's rays, and she had achieved a great victory, completely crushing the newly assembled main force of the orcs.
In this battle, the strength of the demigods was completely exposed to both sides, and Lyanna's power was on full display.
However, the main reason for this great victory was that Lyanna was under the remote command of Xiao Linlin, who did not focus on killing the enemy but instead aimed to crush their morale and drive them forward, thus achieving effective progress on the front line.
After the main orc force retreated, the Duke decisively sent troops to occupy the lost territory. Together with Lyanna's powerful army, they advanced deep into the territory and spent seven days in joint operations to capture an orc fortress, establishing a stronghold for defense.
The orcs had no elven army to aid them, nor did they have demigods or Sulin at their disposal, and they lacked extremely powerful special siege tactics.
The loss of this stronghold directly signifies the overwhelming advantage of humanity on this front.
However, the advantage of this one front is obviously not enough. Currently, there are four main battlefronts for the human camp, and the remaining three are the battlefronts of the orcs, dwarves, and naga.
The Naga front is located in the coastal areas of the human race. The Naga race, who live in the sea year-round, has a natural geographical advantage. Many human cities in the coastal areas have already fallen, but fortunately, the Naga race's land warfare capabilities are relatively weak, making it difficult for them to advance further.
Taking into account racial characteristics, Xiao Linlin decisively split up her forces.
She herself, along with Elrei, Ja Zhengyi, eighteen purebloods, two archmages and two sword saints from Skyhold, a combined force of 20,000 elven troops and elite human forces from Skyhold, headed straight for the dwarven front, and then moved on to the Naga front.
Sulin led Lyanna and ten thousand elite elves, making full use of their speed and mobility, straight to the orc camp, using his strongest forces to fight against the orcs who were better at land combat.
This just confirms Su Lin's concerns from a few days ago: as the team's ambitions grow, the team's disintegration is inevitable.
Fortunately, Xiao Linlin now had a means of self-protection, and with the Allied Forces protecting her, there was no need to worry too much.
With Jia Zhengyi as an information point in their hands, even if they can't win a fight, escaping is definitely not a problem.
Su Lin has nothing to worry about and can lead the demigods straight to the orc front without any concerns!
When Su Lin arrived at the orc front, the battle was still fierce and intense. The human forces on this front were the largest, and the high command of the human empire had long ago formulated a strategy of defending against the other races, with the orc front as the main point of attack.
After all, while orcs are strong in land combat, their weaknesses are also very obvious: their magical abilities are extremely weak, and their war thinking is not sharp enough.
To put it bluntly, he's a complete brute!
However, the orcs were cunning and had already dispatched enough shamans and orc strategists to assist them. As a result, despite having the strongest human army, they were unable to achieve results quickly, which allowed the orcs to seize the opportunity and capture Skyhold.
Fortunately, the elves and the Sulins became the biggest uncertainty in the war. The Sulins rushed to the scene and sent the elves to join forces with the human army at the front line, exchanging military intelligence briefly and quickly.
The human forces on this front had already received intelligence from the capital and were naturally aware of Su Lin and his group's identities.
Over the next seven days, the human army fully cooperated with the elves' fighting style, constantly harassing the orc stronghold at high frequency.
This was a strategy personally devised by Su Lin. Even without Xiao Linlin by his side, he could still take charge of military and political affairs. Although he wasn't top-tier, he was more adept at small-scale military operations.
Sulin fully utilized the guerrilla spirit and the mobility and powerful combat strength of the elves, first systematically devouring small groups of enemy troops wandering around various strategic locations on the front line, and finally besieging the orc stronghold.
The strategy is primarily harassment, allowing Lyanna and the elves to inflict damage from a distance, rather than engaging in direct combat.
The orc army was unleashed, and the allied forces retreated.
The orc army returned to their lines, and the elves emerged again.
This is the fighting style of nomadic peoples, which is perfectly combined with the strength of the elves. Even if the opponent's magic power is strong, it is difficult to defend against the arrow rain brought by the demigods.
After more than ten days of intensive bombardment, the orc army suffered direct losses of more than one-third of its forces, with more than 300,000 dead or wounded.
Of these, almost half were killed by Lyanna.
In these days of battle, she has been performing at a high intensity with almost no restraint, and almost every day and night the sky is streaked with dazzling star-like arrows.
Later on, even the slightest noise in the sky would terrify the orcs, causing them to tremble and riot.
Half a month later, the orc army lost all morale and completely collapsed, leaving the commander with no choice but to order the battle line to be moved back.
But can Su Lin really make these enemies run away with peace of mind?
Absolutely impossible!
When the enemy retreats, we attack!
Sulin, along with the demigods and elves, stubbornly held their ground behind the orc army, fighting their way through wherever they retreated!
Sulin precisely exploited the fact that large-scale troops have extremely poor mobility, and brought out the elves' high mobility and high damage characteristics to the fullest extent.
The orc command originally wanted to retreat and avoid the limelight, but they found these elves, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, so hateful that they chased after them but couldn't catch them no matter what they did.
