Chapter 260: Attrition Tactics
Everything was ready, it was already dark, and the three of them sat at the empty table and laughed at the same time inexplicably.
At this moment, the smile on our faces is not far-fetched, there is no concern behind us, even in the face of the strongest beast, we are not afraid.
"Drinking horses to cross the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife. The flat sand is not gone, and the gloom is in the dark. In the past, the Great Wall was fought with high morale. The yellow dust is ancient and ancient, and the white bones are messy. I looked at the empty street outside the door and couldn't help but say.
"I know this poem, "Four Songs of the Stopper" is a group of poems created by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling, and the paragraph you read is the second poem, which shows the hardships of military life and the cruelty of war, and contains the poet's opposition to war. Lena said.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about our culture, so do you know what these lines of poetry mean?" I said with a smile.
"I crossed the river with a horse drinking water, and the water was bitterly cold, and the autumn wind was like a sword. The vast sunset on the battlefield has not yet set, and I can see the distant Lintao in the dimness. There was a fierce battle on the Great Wall back then, and it was said that the soldiers on the border were high-spirited. Since ancient times, the yellow dust here has been misty, and there are weeds scattered everywhere. Polina said with a smile.
Seeing my shocked face, Lena smiled and raised her glass.
"Since we were kids, Polina and I have loved reading these ancient poems. Lena said.
"It's a shame to remember these few sentences, and they were translated by you. I said with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, if you can't beat us, we will retreat to the underground shelter, and I won't let this city be full of bones. Polina said softly.
"But for hundreds of years..." Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by Polina raising her hand.
"No one has entered our city-state for hundreds of years, and if this is really our fate, I accept it. Polina said very seriously.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, at least we're together. Lena said.
"yes, I don't want to, I want to see what this beast has mutated into. I smiled and raised my glass and drank it down.
Polina and Lena also smiled and raised their glasses, taking a sip of the wine.
Fortunately, the strange beast did not come this night, and I lay in bed and thought about everything I had experienced, in fact, I have no regrets until today.
As I was thinking, my door was pushed open, and Lena and Polina walked towards me at the same time, and now I felt that I had no regrets in my life.
Early the next morning, John and Ye Beichen returned.
"How's it going?" I asked.
"It's all arranged, don't worry, the dungeon is safe. Ye Beichen said.
At the beginning, I asked the two of them to escort everyone with the team, and by the way, let them recognize the way, after all, the two of them had never been to the underground palace.
If we really die in battle, we don't want them to have regrets, after all, the two of them talk about the underground palace all day long, and they always want to see how amazing the underground palace is.
"The spiritual power of that dungeon is really strong, and I believe that the warriors there will soon grow up. John said.
"Since the beast hasn't arrived yet, we can't sit still, let's hurry up and train. As I spoke, I walked towards the palace, and the two of them followed quickly.
The floors of the palace near the rift in time and space have all been emptied, enough for the people who remain in the city now to absorb spiritual power at the same time.
Polina meant that if she really couldn't beat it, it would be useless to keep this palace, and she even ordered someone to tear down her bedroom, throne, and all the gorgeous things anyway, even her beloved garden, only the fire fruit in it was transplanted to the underground palace, and all the other flowers and plants were destroyed.
I asked her why she was doing this?
"If we win, this can all be rebuilt, and if we lose, then I can't leave these things to the enemy," she said. ”
In this way, everyone in the city devoted themselves to training, and with the help of the infinite spiritual power of this space-time rift, our combat effectiveness increased very quickly.
In just three days, the Seven Thousand Holy Soul Warriors had also entered the Templar rank, and I was finally able to spend two hours in the Four Hundred Gravity Stone Retreat Practice Room.
As soon as I left the practice room that day, my bracelet vibrated violently, and I hurriedly clicked on the holographic image, only to see that the alien beast robot we sent out was being torn apart by the alien beast.
"It seems that the fat woman is finally ready to act. I said to myself.
Without the monitoring of the alien beast robot, I feel more at ease, and I don't have to pay attention to the movements of the alien beast every day.
The three of us had just sat down to eat that night when the alarm sounded in the city.
"It's finally here. Polina said with a smile.
"Let's go. I smiled and stood up and walked straight to the city gate.
Two minutes later, all the female warriors in front of the city gate had arrived, and me, Polina, and Lina, the three of us were at the front.
"How far is it?" asked Polina.
"Back to Her Majesty, the beast is still five minutes away. A female warrior behind Polina said.
"Open the gates. Polina said.
As the gates slowly opened, our phalanx marched out of the city, lined up and waited for the arrival of the beast.
A breeze blew, and the trees in the distance began to move, and I could already hear the roar of the beast.
The ground in front of him was also trembling, and the gravel on the ground kept beating, and it seemed that this time the alien beasts were only afraid that all of them were dispatched.
The roar in the distance was getting closer and closer, and many strange beasts had already rushed out of the woods, and I slowly drew the double knives behind my back.
Ye Beichen and John, who were standing on either side of my head, also drew out the weapons they had just built, and like me, they were also double swords.
Seeing that the army of alien beasts had appeared in the clearing, Polina ordered the archers to attack.
"Ready. I shouted.
"Rub rub rub..." came the sound of the double-knife squad standing in the front row drawing their knives.
The vanguard of the alien beast was only a few dozen meters away from us, and I raised my sword and rushed out first.
"Kill. This cry was made by John.
I don't know if he was trying to strengthen his courage, but when he shouted like this, everyone shouted.
The first round of collisions didn't make me notice any changes in the beasts, and we are now more combative, and we are even more comfortable fighting.
Seeing the alien beasts retreating, our morale is getting stronger and stronger, but the more this happens, the more I feel that something is wrong.
Before dawn, the beast retreated, and like last time, it didn't look like it was here to duel us, but more like it was to touch my strength.
Looking at the strange beasts in the distance, we were all confused, but John was happy.
"Haha, we're victorious, these cowards scared away. John said happily.
Seeing that no one responded to him, he put away his smile awkwardly.
"The fat woman still didn't show up. Lena's voice came from behind me.
"Let the air reconnaissance team withdraw, this battle is probably just a trial. I said with a frown.
"Let's go back to the city and rest, the real war is not yet here. Polina said to the female warrior beside her.
Everyone slowly paced towards the city, but my mood could not be calmed down for a long time, it seems that I underestimated the fat woman's IQ.
She used to be the director of the personnel department, and she naturally has a set of personnel management, I heard that she graduated from psychology, and now she has an army of alien beasts, and she can communicate with the hearts of alien beasts through the crown of alien beasts, which is even more powerful for her.
When I got back to the city, I fell asleep, and I had been nervous for the past three days, and I had never rested at all.
Everyone is the same, just take this opportunity to recover their strength.
The next morning, the training was still the same, but what we didn't expect was that this night, the beast came again.
It was still all out of force, but it was still only a short time to fight with us, and they retreated in the middle of the night, and this situation lasted for three days.
Everyone on the training ground was tired, one by one listless, and some even fell asleep directly.
"Stop, stop. I stood up and shouted.
When I shouted, everyone hurriedly stood up, and the sleeping female warriors also hurriedly stood up and lowered their heads in shame one by one.
"Let's all go back and rest, we can't fall into the trap of the enemy, she is draining our energy. I said.
I don't know what the fat woman is brewing, but the people in front of me haven't closed their eyes for three days and three nights, training during the day and fighting against strange beasts at night, which is clearly trying to drag us down.
Polina and Lena were also reminded of what I said, frowning and thinking about something.
"Okay, don't be stunned, go back to rest, right away. I shouted again to the crowd.
