While the main army of their Elf Kingdom is on an expedition, although the number of Elf generals remaining in the country is not small, in Ajer's view, the only one who is truly capable of presiding over the overall situation is his senior brother Baka.

That's it.

Under this premise, it is natural for the other party to be able to see the situation clearly, complete cooperation and retreat smoothly without any direct communication with him.

But it was also because the commander-in-chief was his senior brother Bakas. Their elven army was so defeated in the previous battle, which made Ajer very surprised.

You know, when he saw the defeat of their elven army, Ajer did not connect the general commander and Baccas at all, but the result was exactly that.

This can only explain one problem, that is, in this battle, the Black Iron Empire's army may be more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

With this mentality, Ajer naturally hurried to understand the situation with his senior brother.

It can be said that Bakas was very surprised by Ajer's appearance, but even Bakas must admit that Ajer's move really saved his life.

In the face of Ajer's inquiry, Bakas couldn't help but reveal a trace of unconcealable shame on his face when he talked about the battle situation here.

But after listening to Barkas's narration, Ajer was able to understand that the fact that the battle had reached this point was not really Barkas' fault.

To be honest, the fact that the battle was able to reach this point was thanks to Bakas's ability.

Because the fundamental reason lies in the gap in military strength between the two countries.

If we simply compare the total military strength of the Elf Kingdom and the Black Iron Empire, the two countries are not much different, because the 'quality' and 'quantity' of this military strength are inversely proportional to a large extent.

The soldiers of the Elf Kingdom are typically of high quality. The Black Iron Empire actually follows the route of elite soldiers, but the quality of the Elf soldiers is basically higher than that of the Dwarf soldiers.

Therefore, in this comparison, at the same level, the quality of individual soldiers and troops from the Elf Kingdom is higher than that from the Black Iron Empire, while the number of soldiers from the Black Iron Empire is greater.

Based on this premise, when both countries have sent expeditionary armies of the same size, or with little difference in size, to the front line, the overall strength of the frontline army sent by the Elf Kingdom is actually completely stronger than that of the Black Iron Empire.

The Elf Kingdom also knew this. The reason why Jason Rust, the Elf King at the time, did this was naturally to further demonstrate the strength of their Elf Kingdom to the countries in the known universe.

At the same time, this large-scale coalition will also allow them to have more frequent contact with representatives of various countries in the known universe, which will help their Elf Kingdom integrate into the international society more quickly.

But relatively speaking, this also makes the strength of the Elf Kingdom's garrison in the country slightly weak.

Basically, it only has defensive strength. Once an attack is launched, it is easy to create a void in the rear defense.

However, at that time, their Elf Kingdom and the Black Iron Empire were in the diplomatic honeymoon period. With the Black Iron Empire as a good neighbor, they were not too worried about any accidents.

However, Jason Rust at the time obviously did not expect that things would develop to this point.

In other words, no one would have thought of it...

Now that the two countries are at odds, the Elf Kingdom's rear combat strength is obviously at a disadvantage compared to the Black Iron Empire.

The simple battle with the Black Iron Army in the early years gave the Elf Army no chance to figure out this problem. At the same time, unless there was a thorough fight, they would have basically no chance to understand this kind of problem.

And when they really understood it, they had already paid the price...

Therefore, the ultimate reason why the elven army fell into such a situation was that they did not know enough about the enemy.

But now that Ajer is back, the situation is different.

As the troops directly under the great prince of the Elf Kingdom, they are undoubtedly responsible for the important mission of protecting Ajer's safety. Of course, his father, Elf King Jason Rust, cannot be stingy when it comes to the safety of his son.

Therefore, Ajer's direct troops are composed of the highest-ranking royal griffon knights in their Elf Kingdom.

Its own combat strength has undoubtedly reached the level of an ace unit.

The addition of an ace unit is enough to greatly increase the offensive power of the elf army, and it can also enrich the application and changes of tactics.

Under this premise, Ajer brought back not only an ace troop, but not to mention the other support fleets and troops that came back with him. More importantly, there was another one who came back with him this time.

Elf dragon!

This is a strategic-level war unit with both flexibility and output firepower!

There are naturally strategic-level war units in the Black Iron Army, but they are basically good at outputting firepower and do not possess sufficient mobility and flexibility.

Therefore, the elf dragon, which possesses these two advantages at the same time, has advantages and strategic value that the other party does not have in the battle with the black iron army.

If the advantages of the Elf Dragon can be effectively brought into play, the Elf Dragon can become the key to changing the situation of the battle during the confrontation between them.

Not to mention, as long as Ajer enters the elemental elf state, he is also a strategic-level individual unit.

"Your Highness, His Highness Ivan means to have the army withdraw to the border first to gain home field advantage..."

From Ajer's state and words, Bakas undoubtedly sensed that something was wrong, because he found that the great prince in front of him seemed to have no intention of retreating.

During this period, after hearing Bakas's words, Ajer's eyebrows showed an inconspicuous wrinkle, but it quickly returned to its original state.

"Ivan is not good at military affairs. You should know it well, General Barkas. Moreover, he is at the rear. The battle situation on the frontline is changing rapidly. General, how can you let Ivan do whatever he wants?"

Obviously, in these words, Ajer had some misunderstandings. He mistakenly thought that Ivan was behind the scenes, but he was blindly directing the battle on the front line.

Bakas wanted to explain, but Ajer didn't give him the chance.

"Okay, no need to talk about this matter anymore. Next, the army will cooperate with me to take action!"

As soon as Ajer said these words, Bakas was shocked. For a moment, he didn't bother to explain the little misunderstanding.

In Barkas' view, the two brothers, Prince Ajer and Prince Ivan, have always had a very good relationship, and that little misunderstanding was of no consequence. The two brothers would be able to explain it themselves later.

In comparison, the tactical actions of his army are directly related to the life and death of countless elven soldiers in the entire army! There is no need to say which is more important!

Considering this, Bakas also quickly asked the other party's intentions.

"General Barkas, your original plan was to retreat to the border in one fell swoop to gain home field advantage, right?"

"Yes."

"The other party thinks so too! So I'm going to do the opposite! Directly use surprise tactics to attack the Black Iron Army and further injure the opponent!"
