Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Town of Pato
"You mean we're just here to act as bait this time?" Jeff said after a moment's thought.
"So to speak. Kordak did not deny: "The real task that Alexander gave me and Justt was to attract part of the enemy's forces. As for supplies, it is okay to destroy them if conditions allow. ”
"Then what is his Highness going to do?" asked Jeff again, since both their side and Just's side were fighting feints, presumably Alexander's place would be the real home of the battle. And what is he going to do?
"The devil knows what he's going to do. Kordaq shrugged, "I just got orders and did what I was told." I don't know what he's going to do, but I think it's definitely a little more dangerous for him there. ”
"I see...... everyone understands now. Indeed, if it is only the original plan, the risk and benefit are not proportional. After all, Harden knew that the news of the delivery of supplies had been leaked, and it would be too dangerous to do just sabotage as originally planned.
So, Alexander changed his plans. He ostensibly claimed to be sabotaging the convoy, but in fact he was using the two squads as bait to attract nearby troops. With the elite level of the Golden Eagle Knights, it is impossible to besiege without a large number of troops, and if Harden wants to kill both of them, he must send a large number of troops. And at this time, there will definitely be a certain stronghold with empty troops, and this is the gap that Alexander is looking for!
"Alright. Kordak spread his hands: "That's the way it is, but I don't want you to hold a grudge against Alexander for using you as bait, I think his own mission might be more dangerous." ”
"Don't worry about this, captain, we have been following His Highness for some time, and we all know his character. I believe that as long as he says a word, all the brothers here will not frown when they go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire. Jeff said with a smile.
"That's good. Kordaq nodded: "Okay, it's almost time, the Stoke people should be close here, and our next task is to take this group of guys around to drag time." And ......"
"And?" said Jeff.
"And, don't forget our original mission, tell me what it was?" Kordak glanced at everyone.
"Sabotage the convoy!" everyone said in unison.
"Very good!" Kordak nodded: "Maybe you are not familiar with me, but I Kordak is here to assure you, even if it is only temporary, I will cherish the lives of each of my subordinates! I will give full play to my ability, so that everyone can complete the task excellently and go back safely! Please believe me!"
"We believe you, Captain!" It was only then that the knights of the Golden Eagle Knights felt a little identified with this improvised commander.
"Very well, now, go back and find the horses, and come with me! Let the guys know how good we are!" commanded Kordak confidently.
......
Pato was originally just an ordinary town, but since the start of the war between the two empires, all the townspeople have been unable to endure the torture of the war and have chosen to leave their homes with their belongings. And this empty town was also used by the Stoke Empire and became a military stronghold for them.
The town of Pato has a unique geographical location, and the transportation routes of the east, west, north and south are very developed. Therefore, although this base is not large, it has a very important significance.
In normal times, this military stronghold would have at least a garrison of about 1,000 people. But half an hour ago, the commander of this town suddenly received an order, asking to send two squadrons of knights to the designated location to encircle and suppress the elite of the Hawk Empire who had infiltrated it.
It is said that those two teams belong to the Golden Eagle Knights of the Hawke Empire, although they add up to only about two dozen people. But as long as they are members of the Golden Eagle Knights, they belong to the elite of the Hawke Empire, and it is not too much to send a squadron of knights to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.
By this time, Alexander had arrived at the town of Pato, where the garrison was empty. Although there were only a dozen of them, their average level had reached level thirteen, and there were even absolute powerhouses like the seventeenth-level Light Breaker Alexander. Therefore, although the number of people on the opposite side was about twenty times that of himself, the team led by Alexander was still full of confidence in this.
"Everyone rest, and in an hour and a half, get ready for battle!" Alexander said, which was his estimate of time, and if he acted quickly, the battle should be resolved in two hours. So he set aside an hour and a half in advance for the troops chasing Kordaq and Just, so that even if they returned immediately, it would be too late.
"This fight can be tough, it can be dangerous. Alexander glanced at the crowd and said, "So, if you don't want to participate, it's still too late to withdraw, and I repeat once again that we may face twenty times as many enemies as ourselves." ”
"What are you talking about, Your Highness?" a middle-aged man actually smiled and said, "Since we have chosen to follow you, then we absolutely believe in you." We all know how much you value the lives of your men. Although we do not lack the courage to sacrifice our lives for our country, we believe that as long as you are there, we will be able to return safely. ”
"Thank you all for your support. Alexander was speechless, being able to have this kind of trust can be said to be his biggest gain from the army in the past few years, right?
"Don't you know what you will ask for after you go in for a while?" asked an old man in a cloth robe, who was a mage with the First Squadron of the Golden Eagle Knights, and this time he would follow Alexander deep behind enemy lines, and he would be on the job of the battery.
"There are no requirements. Alexander said: "This is a fully militarized base, there are no civilians in it, there are no prisoners of our army, and once you go in, destroy all the enemies you see, and destroy the buildings as well." ”
"In that case, I see. The mage licked his lips with some excitement, he specialized in fire sculption and transformation spells, arson was a great treat for him.
"But don't overdo it...... Alexander reminded, knowing that the mage sometimes accidentally hurts allies if he plays too fast......
"Okay......" The mage quickly suppressed his emotions when he heard this.
......
"Hey, stop napping, be vigilant. One of the guards walked over and kicked his sleepy companion.
The guards who were woken up were a little dissatisfied: "We are all so far behind, how can there be enemies? If you want me to say, you don't even need to guard at all!"
"Idiot!" the first guard scolded, "Haven't you heard? Our stronghold sent two squadrons to clean up the two elite teams infiltrated by the Hawke Empire. Since they have a squad that can run over there, they can run here as well. ”
"Cut, fuss. The second guard pouted: "I think you're too cowardly." ”
"Say whatever you want, but...... Poof...... "Before the first word was finished, a strange sound came out of his mouth.
The second guard turned his head, and then saw a thin warrior looking coldly at him with a bloody dagger. But before he could scream, another warrior standing behind him slit his throat.
"You can solve the sentry tower on the left, and the enemies on the right and in the center are mine. One fighter said to another.
"No problem. ”
Both warriors drew their bows and arrows, and shot them accurately through the eyebrows of the enemy.
After clearing the guards at the gate, Alexander led the team and continued to march towards the interior of the base. It's already two o'clock in the night, and you're sure to find a large number of sleeping enemies in the dormitories.
"It's up to you. After determining the location of the dormitory, Alexander turned to the mage.
"Look!" the mage smiled slightly, and began to cast spells word by word.
A few seconds later, a furious burst of lightning energy rained down from the sky, and they slammed directly into the roof of one of the dormitories, shattering the entire house.
Alexander shook his head, feeling like Thor's wrath. He couldn't help but sigh: "In terms of destructive power, there is really no one who can compare to a mage......
"But under normal circumstances, no one would let a mage read a spell for nothing......" The mage's face was a little pale, what he had just cast was a seventh-level spell lightning storm, and the consumption of such a high-level spell with extremely destructive power was very amazing. He made a rough estimate, and felt that just the blow just now had used up a quarter of his mana.
"I'd better work on you a little harder. Alexander handed the mage two bottles of high-grade magic potions, which he had prepared in advance, and if this battle was to be in a state of harvest, it was necessary to let the only mage on the team make the most of it. And these two magic potions will be very crucial for the mage.
"Thank you very much. Without hesitation, the mage drank a bottle, and after feeling his magic begin to grow at a very noticeable rate, the mage began to continue casting spells.
The brute force of the herd cow, the patience of the herd bear, the grace of the herd cat, and the acceleration of the herd, these magic effects are only two or three level spells when cast individually, but once they become group cast, they will become six or seven level spells. By the time these spells had been cast, the old mage had rolled his eyes from exhaustion.
If it weren't for the fact that he often cast this kind of buff spell for the entire team, and had practiced these spells to the point of perfection, I'm afraid he would have fainted by this time!
The movement of the lightning storm had already boiled the entire military base, and many soldiers woke up from their sweet dreams, they hurriedly got up from the warm beds, and then looked for any weapons they could get their hands on to fight the enemy.
At this time, the knights of the Hawk Empire, who were blessed by the magic of the mage, also chose a dormitory, and they rushed into it single-handedly and began their own journey of slaughter.
Alexander stood alone at the door of the dormitory, knowing that there were at most two hundred people in the dormitory, and that they would all be left to his warriors. And the remaining more than 100 soldiers who were still standing guard outside were afraid that they would come back soon after hearing the movement. And these more than 100 people will be wiped out by Alexander alone!
