early morning.


    There was a chill in the air.


    It took nearly half an hour for the drizzle to come to an end. The arrival of winter is already obvious. I''m afraid the whole southern plain will have the first heavy snow in a few days at most! When the first heavy snow fell last year, it was around the middle of November, a month earlier than this morning. However, no matter how warm the climate is this year, it will be the limit to delay for one month


    Half elf queen, tent.


    "The lizard army is moving much slower. The roads were muddy because of the rain, and their logistics couldn''t keep up Murphy pointed to a map and said to everyone here. The roads in this era are very primitive, and they are all very simple dirt roads. Once it rains, they will basically become rotten dirt roads, which are very troublesome for the army carrying heavy supplies. In this era, not many people will have the long-term consciousness of Murphy, and will consume a lot of human and material resources to build roads.


    In addition to being inconvenient for their own actions, the simple dirt road can also slow down the enemy''s forward speed when it is invaded by other places.


    This is also a benefit.


    After all, they did not have as strong an army as Athens and could guarantee the security of their territory.


    "In this weather, unless the lizard army abandons their supplies, they will be held back for another day." Murphy made a circle in a corner of the map with a quill pen, looked around and said in a deep voice, "this is a tributary of the nidoria river. You call it the agate river. The agate river runs through the forest to the west of the southern wilderness. If the lizards want to come as soon as possible, they have to cross the river from here! "


    "As far as our strength is concerned, we don''t have a good chance of winning a frontal battle against the lizard army. So our priority now is to delay as long as possible until the arrival of the high elves'' reinforcements or the first heavy snow of this year. " Murphy said slowly.


    "The first snow?" Asked the half elf queen doubtfully.


    "Yes! The first snow Murphy looked at the Druids, then turned his eyes to the half elf queen, and said, "lizard man is a kind of creature similar to cold-blooded animal. Of course, I can''t explain what is a pterin blood animal, because it''s the name used by our arcane masters."


    In order to avoid too many explanations, Murphy directly included cold-blooded animals into the knowledge of arcane school.


    "Cold blooded creatures like this will hibernate when the temperature is too low. For example, snakes, frogs, lizards and so on, although lizards can not enter hibernation, but as creatures who have been living in the tropical rainforest, they will not adapt to this cold weather. In the cold climate, they will be depressed. "


    "What''s more, these lizards are wearing skin armor, which is not cold resistant. In a cold climate, it can greatly weaken their combat effectiveness. "


    Lizards are also humanoids, and Murphy doesn''t believe they can catch a cold.


    "So, our priority now is to delay as much as possible. Until the help of the high elves came Murphy looked at the half elf queen and said slowly.


    If the high elves can''t come, a heavy snow alone won''t add much points to the next war.


    Time and place are favorable.


    In the case that the strength difference between the two sides is too far, the role they can play is quite limited.


    "And how?" Asked a wild Druid.


    "Destroy the road as much as possible and destroy all the bridges along the way. Especially here Murphy pointed to the point on the map and said in a deep voice, "if I remember correctly, did you build a bridge here?"


    Murphy didn''t know the name of the bridge, but it was in the place of the southern plain. The half elves had been trading with human beings. That''s why the bridge was built. At the beginning of the war, the half elves lost so fast that they were directly beaten to the land of thorns. Only by virtue of the terrain of the land of thorns, and then recruiting a large number of troops, did they slow down the battle.


    If the army of lizards wants to come, they must cross the agate river. If they want to cross the agate River, it is obviously difficult for those troops with baggage to wade, so only this bridge is their best choice. Even if they make a detour, they should cross the river from here. Murphy has been watching the lizards since the strategy map page of total war was opened.


    With the help of the total war support system, Murphy knows more about the movements of the lizard army than the horned eagles.


    "These lizards are here now, and because of the distance, they take a day longer than we do at night. Because of the rain these two days, this time will be delayed a lot, so they are at least half a day away from the bridge. This bridge is so special that the lizards can''t have no protection at all. It is obviously impossible to destroy the bridge on foot. "


    Murphy looked at the half elf queen and said, "we can only fly through."


    "The number of horned eagles is only over 30, even if all of them are used to carry people, I''m afraid it''s not enough. When the bridge was built, in order to be more durable, the Druids even used some reinforcement magic on it. I''m afraid it''s very difficult to destroy them just by these people. " The half elf queen looked at the circle on the map and said something helpless.


    Obviously, if she knew all this today, she would not let the Druids reinforce it.


    "It must be destroyed!" Murphy''s eyes were firm and said in a deep voice, "destroying this bridge will at least buy us a day!"


    "It can even force the lizards to divide again!"


    "If they really want to capture this place so soon..."


    Murphy turned his eyes to altoria. He looked into the girl''s green eyes and asked, "if you can use it, can you destroy it?"


    "Yes!" The girl nodded firmly.


    "But..." altoria took a look at the half elf queen, and then slowly said: "the use is extremely limited. If it is used to destroy the bridge, I''m afraid there is no way to use it in the next battle."


    "It doesn''t matter." Murphy''s answer was very Kenyan.


    "The number of people that the horned Eagles can carry is limited. The lizards will definitely send troops there, so we can only pass by some elite horned eagles." Murphy turned his eyes to the other side of the moon priests and said slowly, "in addition to all the Druids, I think you need to send several high-level priests to go with you."


    "I''m afraid there might be demonized lizards there."
