Chapter 554 - Supply Raid (1) (1/2)

Auron led five people and went in another direction from Smite's group. Based on the agreed strategy, the Absurd team would split into two. Auron, as the vice leader, would lead one group, and Smite would lead another one.

The Absurd team's task was very crucial and difficult. That was the reason why Smite was frowning when he heard his team's mission.

There were eight cities in the Bridge World. Four belonged to Gaia, and the other four belonged to Regalia. The distance between these two sides was far. It would take an a.d.u.l.t man 30 days to reach the other side at walking speed. Moreover, that man had to walk 24 hours nonstop to get to the other side in 30 days.

Of course, the distance could be shortened if they ran or using a means of transportation. However, even if they used a vehicle, it was still not easy since the terrain was not supportive for transportation. Moreover, it would be safer for them to travel by foot since they could hide and not attract too much of the enemy's attention.

Because of this far distance, both sides built their own stop area for their army to rest and recover from their fatigue. Of course, the rest area was not a luxurious place. It made enough for the military to rest. However, the security of this stop area could not be underestimated.

When one side decided to build a stop area, they had already considered many things, such as the terrain and the stop area's distance and size. Hence, the stop area could be viewed as a mini stronghold.

This stop area was so important that the soldiers assigned here would be nothing less than those stationed in the four main cities.

Actually, when one side wanted to attack the other side, they didn't have to conquer these stop areas first, they could avoid the stop areas and directly attack the other side like what Regalia previously did.

However, if they did this, they had to consider the possibility of being pincered attacked by the army from the cities and the army from the stop areas.

In the Bridge World, Gaia had already built four of the stop area while Regalia had owned 6 stop areas. And, The Absurd team's task was to conquer one of the 6 stop areas. Actually, it was not conquered, they had to at least made one of the stop area busy, so it could not send reinforcement to the other stop area. It would be better if they could conquer it but it was not mandatory.

The stop area that the Absurd team was assigned to was the one to the most eastern part of the Bridge World. Fortunately, Smite's team would not attack the stop area alone. There was already a team assigned to the stop area and Smite was helping that team.

However, the bad news was the previous team had suffered huge casualties and was on the verge of collapsing. Smite's team would regroup with that team on the Gaia's stop area closest to the target and took over the command control.
