Chapter 575 (1/2)
After being attacked by a few enemy troops that night, Frost's united forces have been attacked several times.
Sometimes they will appear in the middle of the night, sometimes they will rush out when they first set up camp. Although the number of them is not large, they can't be ignored when they are felled or set on fire at will. In this way, the soldiers in the army were exhausted because they didn't have a good rest for a few days. Sometimes some people fell asleep while walking.
”That won't do“ Jenkins said so, and then he asked the army mage around him.
”Didn't the airship detect where they came from?”
”We increased the scope of our search, but we didn't get any valuable information because of the dense jungle and poor vision around here.” The mage representative explained.
”If only there were elves in the army... But just think about it.” Jenkins said it casually.
In the verdant Empire, the elves are still prosperous. They once impressed Xuehua seven countries in the battle of breaking the bow.
At that time, the other party's dense forest patrol team turned over from the sighing mountain range, which caused a lot of trouble for the logistics supplies of Xuehua seven countries, and almost cut off the food supply of Tianqi fortress at that time. Later, it was with the help of the wing tribes of the Falcon kingdom that the enemy's whereabouts were locked and the supply lines were maintained.
Another day, near night, the army began to camp, and it was almost out of Huangnan county.
Jenkins sat at the top of the tent, and the officers below began to report.
”Tomorrow we can get out of this jungle and go straight into the fields next to Hopland.” A scouting officer reported that he was wearing a dark uniform without any reflective parts. Even his dagger and crossbow were matted.
”The more you end up, the more careful you have to be. I've got a rough idea of the other side's strategy. ” Jenkins said.
He pushed the pieces of the map caravan. Several of them were close to the edge of the green area. In front of them was an open plain. Behind this open land, a city close to the mountain and the sea was marked on the map, Hopland.
”Use small-scale invasion to fatigue our troops, and then wait for work in the plain to start a tug and chase battle. When we show our flaws, we suddenly attack and give a fatal blow.”
”It's a good idea, but unfortunately it's naive.” Said a stout army commander, with a look of disdain on his face.
”Under the cover and cover of the statue legion, I'd like to see how they can tear our formation, relying on the weak mercenaries and cavalry? The Xifeng cavalry, which used to be in decline, can't even resist the peasant uprising. Ah. ”
”In that case, we might as well stay here for two days and then move on to attack Hopland.” One of the officers suggested.
”No way.” Jenkins shook his head.
”The reinforcements of clancia are already on the way, and their speed is not slow. We have to catch up with them and beat Hopland, otherwise it will be a trouble later.”
”Take a good rest tonight and strengthen your guard.”
The lights outside the tent were bright. This time, the scouts expanded their detection range, and then several airships hovered in the sky to closely observe the dark land.
Compared with before, maybe the enemy also knew that the camp was heavily guarded tonight. It was quiet in the first half of the night, and the soldiers in the camp fell into a deep sleep.
A soldier sitting on the lookout tower holds a long gun and leans on a wooden stake. His head keeps falling, like fishing. Sometimes he falls, then he wakes up and lifts up. Finally, he falls down again because of sleepiness, and so on.
There are occasional bursts of insects in the jungle. Compared with summer, the sound of insects is much less. After all, the weather is getting cooler and cooler.
The moon rises and sets slowly, and the time gradually reaches more than 3 o'clock in the morning, which is also the deepest time for people to sleep.
At this time, a dark red comet suddenly appeared in a corner of the night sky, and then, several of the same dark red comets were also rising.
These huge comets, which are made up of countless flames, pass through the long tail of flame in the night sky. The high temperature distorts the atmosphere and makes a whirring licking sound. As it approached, the bright fire lit the sky like day, and the impending turbulent magic and high temperature made people feel suffocating pressure.
The first reaction is the mage on the airship in the sky. Several faint blue rays are emitted from the airship, accurately hitting these giant meteor fires that come from the sky and cross a long parabola.
The dark blue light flashed away, leaving several fence like tracks in the field of vision. Unfortunately, such a hasty attack could not disperse the flame full of burning magic.
