Volume 1 Eternal Fire Chapter 72 Preparation for War
The earth-shattering war drums rang out over the dead plains, like the footsteps of a dragon shaking the earth.
Several commanders deployed their troops at key points in the defensive line, looking through the gaps between the bunkers, the line of the blood servant was like a long scarlet snake in front of it, and a few banners of the high blood servant were the letters it spit out, hunting in the wind, swearing its might.
Captain Logmery was sitting cross-legged on the ground sharpening his broadsword, a weapon that had been with Logmeri for twenty years, though not made of the most precious of Chrisra steel, but had been tempered with an alchemical concoction that would cut the neck of an enemy as easily as a handful of lettuce.
The broadsword was polished by him, and the captain looked forward to using it to feast on the blood of his enemies in the ensuing war.
In the past six hundred years, there has never been a human threat to the rule of the Bloodserv on the Dark Land, at most a rebellion in a certain region that has not been quelled for a long time, but in general, the life of most of the Bloodserv is still quiet and lazy, which has led to the poor discipline and strategy of the Bloodservant army, and in the battle against the humans, the Bloodservant often charge head-on, which is enough to make them victorious.
This time, the confidence of the blood servants was even more inflated than ever, after all, the three captains were in formation, and the great lord was present, no one could imagine what such a military force would look like when it was defeated, even if the enemy could not defend it by using cover, there was no chance of victory.
"Logge, Bibi?" Pierce staggered over, not at all looking like a big war was coming.
"Hmph, what's the head?" said Logmery with a rare smile.
"Yo yo yo, I was originally saying it casually, but I didn't expect our unsmiling Iron Master to agree. Well, then I'll make a fortune, haven't you always wanted my horse to chase the sun? Just bet on it, what about you?" Pierce teased in an exaggerated tone, and made a bet on his cherished horse.
"If I lose, the Extreme Reincarnation Array Annotation will be yours. Logmery lowered his head and continued to sharpen his blade, without raising his head.
"A word is a certainty!" As if he was afraid that the other party would regret it, Pierce immediately agreed, "Hahaha, you have lost a lot of Logge, the Extreme Reincarnation Array is a treasure." ”
Seeing that Logmery was unmoved, Pierce leaned over again, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Do you know what that array did in ancient times?"
Logmery finally raised his eyelids, this book has been in his hands for a long time, but he has never been able to figure out what the effect of the alchemy array recorded in it is more important to his own strength, Pierce has asked for it several times before and returned empty-handed, because although there is no deep hatred between the captains of the Dead Ash Plains, it is not a group of harmony, after all, in this era, resources are scarce, and most of the heads are taken away by the supreme dragon, and there are even fewer of the remaining blood servants, so the relationship between several captains is not good in normal times.
Seeing Logmery take the bait, Pierce finally pretended to be mysterious and continued: "In ancient times, it was used to forge the core of the airboat drive!"
Logmar snorted, and suddenly lost interest again, the airship is just a human fantasy, how can there be anything to share in the sky of the Supreme Dragon? Logmery didn't even believe that this ultimate armament ever existed.
"Where's my lord?" An extremely low and calm voice suddenly sounded, Rao and Logmeri were startled, the voice was as cold as the back of the big knife in his hand slowly rubbing from the back of his neck, it was the third captain Spear.
"Lord Ember, it looks like it disappeared yesterday at noon. Pierce put his little finger over his ear, and while bouncing the "results" to the ground, he replied absentmindedly, "It's hunting again, and our lord has a lot of tricks." ”
Logmery flicked the blade, nodded after hearing a sharp sound, and Huo Ran got up.
"Prepare for a planned counterattack on Flame Town. ”
......
"Big Brother Apocalypse!" Yang Sha was panting, holding the door frame with one hand, the weather was hot at the moment, and the sweat of Douda was flowing down his increasingly resolute face, "Arrange me on the front line, I have to slaughter Logmali with my own hands to avenge Brother Kannong and Grandpa Mumuba!"
Apocalypse glanced at Yizar, who didn't dare to raise his head in a weak heart, and after Apocalypse, he explained: "Yangsha, you have more important responsibilities, and Yizar sent an elite team to you." ”
"Really! Great!" Jansha shook his fist in the air, throwing out a few drops of sweat.
"Where you're going to defend, here. Apocalypse took a step forward, approached the large table in the conference room, and pointed his hand at the map.
Yangsha's smile froze on his face, and then even his voice sharpened, "What! Why should I stay behind Flame Town, will there be those half-blood mongrels there?"
Enraged, Yang Sha stepped over to the table and came face to face with the apocalypse, his hands slapping on the table.
"The people sent to you are all good at concealment, because we all agree that Ember may send people, or even personally go around the rear, to sneak up on our positions, and I don't mean to fool you when I say that duty is important, and guarding the rear is indeed a top priority. "Apocalypse had already anticipated the impulsive boy's reaction, so he had already prepared a reason.
"And what if he doesn't come? you kill the enemy in front, and I'll be bitten by mosquitoes in the back?" Yangsha gritted his teeth tightly.
"You're a warrior! It's an order!" Izal finally couldn't help but speak, he had led the team for a long time, and he valued discipline the most, "Do you think you're buying groceries? Is there room for bargaining? If you don't want to carry it out, just stay in the camp for me, and I'll do it like another person!"
Yangsha stared at Izal with red eyes, the room fell into an irritating silence, Apocalypse rubbed his thumb and forefinger unnaturally, he wanted to say something, but he didn't want to interfere with Izhar's army, the dull sound of war drums still rhythmically came from the window, and after a long time, finally a roar that did not lose the beat of the drum echoed from the window.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
......
"Listen to me, everybody!" cried Logmeri in his rough voice, as he walked through the ranks, "one day! must break through the rebellious defenses in one day!
"Hear me clearly!!" the Blood Servants replied loudly, with a hint of cruel excitement, in their opinion, this war is simply a game of snatching war merits, and they don't know how many people will be able to turn over this time and jump from a low-ranking Blood Servant to a centurion or even a thousand.
After Logmery left, Pierce flashed out from the side with a smile and said, "It's a waste of time to grab things, if you run slowly, you don't have to kill, don't you say?"
There was a burst of laughter from the Bloodservants, and Logmery frowned helplessly in the tent.
