Chapter 312: Special Warfare
The ships in the hands of these ghostly figures are obviously specially made.
Each can only carry eight or nine passengers.
When you encounter water, you can take a boat, and once you get ashore, a team of four people can drag a corner of the boat you are riding on, and you can run quickly.
If it can't be done, you can also release them, and a soldier can carry them on his back and walk quickly, and when he encounters water, he can inflate them and carry people.
These ghost soldiers in camouflage costumes, wearing the uniform badge on their chests, with white mountains and black waters as the background, lurking in the middle of the night leopard that will always pounce at any time.
There is only one force marked by the white mountains and black waters in the Ashane continent, and that is the Andesian force that has just risen in the Andes Mountains, the Eternal Night Commander.
And in the Eternal Night Army, there is only one unit with the Night Leopard as the number - the Night Leopard Army Special Operations Team, referred to as the Night Leopard Marine Corps.
The ideology that this unit esporates, as its name suggests, is forbearance, perseverance, and lethal with one blow.
The name of this unit, in the eyes of the ordinary leaders of the Eternal Night Army, is not famous, far less than the famous Skull Crushing Corps, the three main army corps, the Northern Corps, the Hawkeye Special Service Department, etc., and even the Angry Waves Water Army, which was established the latest, seems to be more famous than it.
But within the major legions led by the Eternal Night Army, the Night Leopard Marines, that is famous.
Not only behind many conflicts, there are their looming shadows, but also because of their strict selection criteria.
If you want to join it, knight-level personal strength is the most basic requirement, if there is no support for this, even the first wave of selection and training of the Leopard Marine Corps will not be able to support it.
And the basic quality of personal is only the first pass, and then you have to break through five levels and kill six generals.
First of all, you must have your own personality, in line with the combat style of the Night Leopard Marines, if you are a fierce general who likes to charge into battle, extremely brave, once you go to the battlefield, you can't control your desire to kill, even if you are a big knight, the Night Leopard Marines will not be open to you, like the Skull Crusher Legion or the three main legions is your most correct choice.
After all, most of the tasks of the Night Leopard Marine Corps need to be forbearant and lurking, head-on conflicts, very few, if the self-control ability is too poor, the character is impulsive and irritable, joining the Night Leopard Marine Corps, it will harm others and oneself, and if you can't perform a few missions, you will be brave and righteous.
The second is to have a skill, not necessarily an all-round talent, at least in a certain aspect of expertise, whether it is archery, swordsmanship, or stealing, lockpicking such inaccessible means, as long as you are skilled enough, in the Night Leopard Marine Corps, you can look at it at a glance.
After all, the tasks carried out by the Night Leopard Marines are very complicated, not limited to killing the enemy, secret infiltration, escort, assassination, etc., all belong to their mission category, in a team, the more professionals they have, the more means they can choose in the face of complex situations.
Anyway, in a word, those who can't join the Night Leopard Marine Corps are not necessarily not elites, but those who can join the Night Leopard Marines are definitely the elite of the elite.
In the Eternal Night Army, many soldiers have made it their goal to join the Night Leopard Marines.
Because this is not only a matter of proving their strength, but also because of the equipment of the Night Leopard Marine Corps, which is also famous in the Eternal Night Army.
The priority of equipment is the highest in the whole army.
Even General McGee, the skull-crusher who spent his days licking his face and holding equipment for his own personal guard regiment in the quartermaster's department, had to stand aside.
Whatever is good, they will pick it first.
Not to mention the far away, just the inflatable raft they are using now, one in their hands is counted as one, which is the total output of the Eternal Night Army so far.
This inflatable raft is quite expensive, and the skin used is neither cowhide nor sheepskin, but the crocodile crocodile skin of the crocodile people.
Specially treated crocodile leather, not to mention waterproof, toughness and lightness, are above cowhide, making it an excellent choice for making inflatable rafts.
What limits their production should be the number of crocodile skins.
After all, under normal circumstances, the crocodile people would not take the initiative to hunt war crocodiles, and the raw materials of these inflatable rafts were all obtained through trading and looting the crocodile people's previous inventory.
The Night Leopard Marines are able to march at high speeds of up to 200 kilometers a day in a complex environment, and this lightweight inflatable raft is indispensable.
With the development and growth of the Eternal Night Army, the materials have gradually been enriched, a large number of qualified soldiers have been trained, and the number of suitable candidates has increased, and the scale of the Night Leopard Army's special combat team has also expanded again and again.
From the original three special operations squads, to three special operations squadrons, and then to the current three special operations teams.
The Night Leopard Marines also use the three-tier system used by the Eternal Night Army.
That is, three special operations squadrons (one team of 10 people) form a special operations squadron (30 people), and three special operations squadrons form a special operations squadron (90 people).
In other words, aside from the substitutes, the Eternal Night Army has nearly three hundred members of the Night Leopard Special Operations Team in service.
As they get bigger, they can perform a wider range of tasks.
It is really convenient to divide into squads and join teams.
This time, the Night Leopard Marines poured out of the nest, and it was the first large-scale coordinated operation since their establishment.
The target is the Kingsley family's reopened material transportation line.
And the leader of the team is the former leader of the Slave Rebel Army, and the Scarlet Storm Dicklon, who has no actual position in the Eternal Night Army for the time being.
He is now the commander-in-chief of the Night Leopard Marines, who have been vacant.
For this airborne commander-in-chief, the three Night Leopard Marine Brigade Captains, there was no dissatisfaction.
Because the other party is in this position, it is absolutely overkill, and the other party is not only experienced in commanding large-scale corps operations, but also an expert in small-scale infiltration.
The slave gladiator soldier regiment was trained by him, and he led the remnants of the slave rebel army to create a large number of classic guerrilla warfare in the Carthusian army.
Even the arrogant three Night Leopard Marine Captains had to be convinced.
Because when Dicron led the remnants of the slave rebel army to create these classic battles, it was a poor and blank and completely dependent on the art of command.
Then there are many former slave gladiators in the Night Leopard Marines, and their admiration for Dicron is unparalleled, and his appointment as commander-in-chief is definitely a positive support.
These slave gladiators are simply the natural candidates for the Night Leopard Marines.
Needless to say, the life experience of the former slave gladiators made them unbearable for ordinary people, but once they broke out, they were extremely brave.
The seven or eight years of slave rebellion have tempered them to be less independent, proficient in cooperating and trusting their companions.
To be selected for the Night Leopard Marine Corps, it is natural to take it for granted.
This is another reason why Dicron is the commander-in-chief of the Night Leopard Marines, and only he can suppress them.
It only took them two nights to reach the Kingsley family supply line not far away.
Even at night, it is still full of people, and the sounds of people talking and the neighing of pack horses are intertwined.
Every few tens of meters, there is a large resting point, and every half hour, a patrol passes by.
Due to the large amount of materials delivered at one time, the Kingsley family has paid great attention to it from top to bottom and strictly guarded against it.
But after walking here, I was a little slack.
After all, the nerves have been tense for several days, and they have to travel long distances during the day, and they have to be vigilant at night, and people are sleepy and tired.
Moreover, most of their tasks have been completed, and in a day or two, they will arrive at the land, as long as the food and supplies transported are unloaded, the rest will not matter what they do, and they can go back to the Kingsley family with the voucher to receive the money.
Many people talk to each other about where the beer is the most delicious and the women are the most charming, to offset the fatigue of the long journey.
"Disperse in squads, each looking for a point of attack, the distance between each squad shall not exceed five hundred meters at the closest, and the farthest shall not exceed one thousand meters, mainly to burn grain, grass and materials, killing and injuring the enemy second, if the champion knight is found, put a distress signal as soon as possible, and retreat strategically. Dicron repeated the battle plan again.
Before setting off, they had already formulated a strict combat plan, including the various attack points of each squad, which were roughly numerous.
This is naturally due to Sean, the aerial scout of the Eternal Night Army.
The entire grain line of the Kingsley family, in front of the Eternal Night Leader, was as unobstructed as stripping off his clothes.
"Understood. ”
"Understood. ”
"Understood. ”
The captains of the special operations teams responded one after another.
"Now begin to calibrate the hourglass, and when you reach your destination, immediately place the hourglass, reverse it three times, and officially launch the attack without any delay. Dicron said with a serious expression.
"Yes. ”
The captains of the special operations team once again agreed in unison.
"Action!"
Dicron gave an order, and the large army spread out along the intersection in the west, and every seven or eight hundred meters, a special operations team would stop, and the deputy captain immediately cleared a piece of flat ground and placed the hourglass he was carrying.
This hourglass, which you can tell at a glance is specially made, is placed in an elaborate wooden box, and even in high-speed movement, it will not cause much shock to it, and it is a three-tube hourglass, which is arranged side by side.
Just in the process of calibrating the hourglass, the first tube was already activated, and upon arrival at the destination, they activated the second tube of the hourglass.
That is to say, the flow rate of the first hourglass of the Night Leopard Marine Corps is roughly synchronized, but the second tube is different, the speed decreases in turn, and the flow rate is the fastest.
Although the Night Leopard Marine Corps carried out a coordinated operation this time, the difficulty of operation was far above that of ordinary coordination, which was double coordination or even multiple coordination.
The hourglass made by the Eternal Night Warlord is a standard hourglass, that is, one hourglass is one hour, and if it is reversed three times, it is a standard three hours.
In the previous lives of Acharn and Sean, there are many similarities and differences.
For example, Ashan's annual cycle is 381 days, and the day is 25 hours.
The former is naturally prescribed to die, and the latter is artificially divided according to the operation of heaven and earth, let alone divided into 25 hours, even if it is 26 hours, 28 hours, it is possible.
Since it is divided into twenty-five hours, there is naturally an Ashan-style saying, which involves local astronomy and geography, and is mixed with theology, and Sean has no intention of studying it for the time being.
Of course, this difference is only for Sean personally, and for those born and raised in Ashan, it should be so, and it is a matter of course.
Timing with an hourglass is purely forced helplessness.
It's not that the Eternal Night Warlord hasn't tried to develop clocks, but the precision of this thing is too high, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, and the things made are varied, and the accuracy is not as good as the old-fashioned hourglass timekeeping.
The Eternal Night Warlord can only temporarily turn around, first studying the existing hourglass timekeeping to the extreme, and then turning the direction to study more sophisticated clocks.
On this detour, a little effect was seen, this multi-row hourglass was only one of them, and there was also an hourglass clock, which could perfectly record the sunrise of the first day to the sunrise of the second day, in units of twenty-five hours.
The flaw is that it is already its limit to accurately record a day, and it needs to be reset every day, and it is very troublesome to use unless someone specially guards it.
"General, the first hourglass time has arrived. The bell keeper of the Night Leopard No. 1 Special Operations Team stood up and said.
The number within the Night Leopard Marine Corps is not static, but is based on the number of tasks completed in the past, the degree of difficulty and the degree of completion, and the higher the ranking, the higher the number.
It's an honor, but it's also a responsibility.
The higher the ranking, the higher the ranking, the higher the number of casualties when assigned to high-risk missions, they rush to the top.
However, in a group that worships honor, this potential danger is not an obstacle to their pursuit of glory.
Therefore, the internal competition of the Night Leopard Marine Corps is also the most fierce.
However, the Eternal Night Commander has always advocated healthy competition, if it is to steal military merits, use vicious means or kill friendly troops, once discovered, it is not as simple as the entire team facing elimination, but all members are facing military court sanctions, no exceptions.
Once this kind of black history appears, all the glorious achievements made in the past will be reduced to water, and not only will the entire army system have no place to stay, but even the entire Eternal Night military leader will not be welcomed.
No one likes someone who betrays even their own for profit.
This atmosphere has been erected from the very beginning, and the deterrent effect created is far more useful than the effect of ordinary supervision.
And it will increase day by day as the Eternal Night Warlord grows.
As long as you are not particularly stupid, you know what is the right choice.
Of course, there are still people who are too smart, who think that they will not be discovered or who are hot-headed, have become the out-and-out negative teaching materials of the Eternal Night military leader.
What awaits them will be more than five years in prison, and even if you are a genius, after five years, you will be lost to everyone.
Because the development speed of the Eternal Night Army Leader is too fast, five years is enough to go to a big level, change to a new world, and when it comes out, even if others give him a chance to start over, he can't keep up with the times.
No one wants to miss this big wave of rapid development.
Just like the task in front of you, there is no doubt that the vanguard is naturally the number one special combat team.
"Let the killer dove goves. Dicron ordered.
"Yes. The two Night Leopard Marines opened the birdcage they had been carrying all the way.
Six of them, about the size of a hen, but more slender, rose into the air, like elves in the night, shuttling through the air.
Eagles rarely hunt at night, with the exception of killer doves.
After all, they don't hunt ground prey, they hunt birds.
There are two main methods of predation, using their speed advantage to hunt in the air, which is just one of them, but not the most commonly used.
What they are best at is to sneak attack at night, take the birds out of their nests, and then use the cover of night to carry out aerial sneak attacks.
The killer dove, which has been specially trained by the Eternal Night Commander, is more targeted.
"Let go of the killer dove!"
"Let go of the killer dove!"
"Let go of the killer dove!"
Not only the first squadron of the Night Leopard Marine Squad, but also the first hourglass of the twenty-seven Night Leopard Marine Squad arrived at the same time, so they made the same move in no particular order.
Hundreds of killer doves are hundreds of cold-blooded killers in the air, waiting for their prey to appear at any time.
