Latest website: Since the night attack by a few enemy troops that night, the
Frost Union troops have encountered several attacks.
They sometimes appear in the middle of the night, and sometimes they rush out
when they first set up camp. Although their numbers are not large, they can't
be ignored after hacking and setting fires at will. Under this situation, I
didn't rest for a few days, leaving the soldiers in the army exhausted.
Sometimes when they were marching, people walked and fell asleep.
"That won't work," Jenkins said, and then he asked the army mage next to him.
"Did the airship detect where the opponent came from?"
"We have increased the scope of the search, but due to the dense jungle around
it, the poor vision did not get any valuable information." The mage
representative explained.
"It would be great if there were elves scouts in the army...but just think
about it." Jenkins said casually.
In the Verdant Empire, the elves are still prosperous, and they once left a
deep impression on Xuehua's Seven Kingdoms in the "Bow Broken Battle".
At that time, the opponent's dense forest parade team turned over from the
Sighing Mountains, causing a lot of trouble for the logistics supply of the
Xuehua Seven Kingdoms, and almost let the Apocalypse Fortress run out of food
at the time. Later, it was the Wing Clan of the Falcon Kingdom who helped to
lock the whereabouts of these enemies and maintain the supply line.
Another day, approaching night, the army began to camp, and at this time it
was about to leave Huangnan County.
In the big tent, Jenkins sat at the top, and several officers below began to
report on the situation.
"Tomorrow we will be able to leave this jungle area and go straight to the
wilderness next to Hopelander." A scout officer reported in this way. He was
wearing a dark uniform with no reflective parts on his body, even his dagger
and hand. The crossbow is also matte.
"The more you are at the end, the more you have to be careful. I have roughly
guessed the opponent's strategy." Jenkins said.
He pushed the map caravan chess pieces, several of which were already close to
the edge of the green area, and there was an open plain in front of them.
Behind this open land, a city by the mountains and the sea was marked on the
map, Hopelander.
"Using small-scale intrusions to exhaust our troops, and then wait for work on
the plains, start pulling and chasing battles, and when we show weaknesses, we
will attack suddenly and give a fatal blow."
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's a bit naive," said a short legion
commander, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Under the cover and cover of the Golem Legion, I want to see how they tear
our formation, relying on those weak mercenaries and half-hanging cavalry? The
Westerly cavalry has long since fallen, even the peasant uprising Can't resist
it, huh."
"In that case, we might as well simply fix up here for two days, then move
forward and attack Hopelander." An officer suggested.
"No." Jenkins shook his head.
"Crancia's reinforcements are already on the way, and their speed is not slow.
We have to rush ahead and take down Hopelander, otherwise it will be a problem
afterwards."
"Take a good rest tonight and strengthen your guard."
The lights outside the tent were bright. This time the scouts expanded the
scope of investigation, and several airships hovered in the sky afterwards,
closely observing the dark ground.
Compared to before, perhaps the enemy knew that the camp was heavily guarded
tonight. The first half of the night had been quiet, and the soldiers in the
camp fell into a deep sleep.
A soldier sitting on the observation deck holding a spear, his body leaning on
a wooden stake, his head kept falling, like fishing, sometimes falling, waking
up, and finally lowering again because of sleepiness. Reciprocating cycle.
Occasionally, insects sang in the jungle everywhere. Compared to summer, the
screams of insects are now sparser. After all, the weather is getting cooler
and cooler.
The moon slowly rises and then sets, and the time gradually reaches more than
3 a.m., which is also the time when people sleep the deepest.
At this moment, a crimson comet suddenly appeared in the corner of the night
sky, and then several similar crimson comets rose slowly.
This giant comet made up of countless flames passed a long flame tail in the
night sky, and the high temperature distorted the atmosphere, making a
whirring sound of licking. As it approaches, the bright fire light shines the
sky like daylight, and the approaching turbulent magic and high temperature
make people feel suffocating and oppressive.
The first thing that reacted was the mage on the sky airship. Several faint
rays of blue light shot from the airship, accurately hitting these giant
meteor fires flying from the sky and tracing a long parabola.
The dark blue light flashed, leaving several fence-like tracks in the field of
vision. It's a pity that such a hasty attack can't disperse the flames full of
hot magic.
Bang--
When these giant fireballs hit the ground, they burst directly, and the flames
spread in all directions along with the hot airflow. In just one round of
bombing, nearly a thousand people died directly.
Then, the spreading flames burned directly in the camp, and billowing smoke
rose along with tents, grain, debris, dead branches, and fallen leaves. There
was also shouting and chaos in the camp.
"Fight the fire!"
"So hot."
"Help me, I'm going to be burned to death, ah—"
One by one, the "burning men" waved their hands and ran around looking for the
source of water. Unfortunately, there were no lakes around here, and there was
also a lot of distance from the Caspian Sea. The flames on them could only
escalate.
"Damn it!" A mage stood on the airship, looked at the sight below, and let out
an angry voice. The mage robe on his body was also lifted and dropped by the
heat wave below.
The previously standby golems were activated one after another, and then under
the adjustment of some of the mages, several ice rays shot out, covering a
piece of land, and began to separate and extinguish the fire.
Jenkins also walked out of the big tent, surrounded and protected by soldiers
and several golems. His brow furrowed, he issued urgent orders, and the camp
became busy.
"No, they're coming from the east!" A scout ran to Jenkins, there were blood
and stains on his body.
"East, how is it possible? Isn't that our back?" an officer asked
incredulously.
"I don't know, but this time there are a lot of people." The scout said
breathlessly.
As if to confirm the other party's statement, a scream of killing sounded from
the back, and a group of soldiers wearing various armors and robes killed
towards the camp from the back. They held weapons and torches and kept
lighting and slashing.
With the actions of these people, a large area of the jungle burned. It was
originally the season of autumn and the flames spread extremely fast.
Seeing this scene, Jenkins opened his eyes and had to send a large number of
people to stop him to stop the other party from continuing to fire.
While the camp was in chaos, when various personnel shouted and ran, there was
also a rush of horseshoes in the outer jungle on the west side. While the
airship and golem extinguished the fire, a group of cavalry crossed the open
field in the dark. , Approaching the camp on the edge of this jungle.
After approaching this woodland, they turned over and dismounted, just like
the offensive troops in the rear, raising their swords high, lighting torches,
burning and driving away the frightened soldiers.
Under the attack of the two parties, the camp of Frost Rose became more
panicked. Many soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time, and their
psychological quality was not good. As a result, many people started to throw
down their weapons and move towards the north and south The jungle on the side
flees.
The Golem Legion and the airship that were originally relied on were also
unable to exert their power for a time due to the need to extinguish the fire,
poor vision, and difficulty in unifying the scene. They could only watch the
more than 100,000 military camps in the camp. Xiao, trampled and ran each
other in a panic.
On the Frost Union side, the weakness of the soldiers' weak will and poor
discipline was exposed in this night attack. Although the more than 10,000
veterans around the veteran Jenkins can barely maintain, they still cannot
change the situation that is gradually sliding into the abyss.
Looking down from the night sky, on the dark ground, the long and narrow
campsite stretched for several miles was caught in a burning fire, and the
forest fire continued to spread to the surroundings, and thick smoke filled
the jungle.
And just when many generals were almost desperate, a clear and high voice
suddenly sounded in the camp.
"quiet!"
"Screamers, runaways, kill without mercy!"
As the voice fell ~www.mtlnovel.com~ a jagged crimson arc swept across,
cutting several panicked and shouting soldiers into meat pieces, splashing
blood and sprinkling them on the people around, making people tremble and
horrified .
Many soldiers in the surrounding area were frightened on the spot, shut up and
stopped.
Afterwards, the red-haired figure, brandishing the crimson blood trough sword,
ran fast in the camp, beheading the soldiers walking and shouting. As if they
had been ordered, the guards of the generals who were originally located in
the center also took their swords and divided into teams to quickly run
through the camp, beheading the soldiers who were in disorder.
These personal guards wearing dark blue cloaks were all above Sequence 3 in
strength. It was easy to kill these fleeing soldiers, and under such cold-
blooded and cruel military orders, order in the camp was finally restored. A
high-level military officer began to command the team to defend and
counterattack.
Tonight, it is still doomed to sleeplessly.
