Chapter XVIII

The real master of using troops is that the attack can be moved above the nine heavens, and the defense can be hidden under the nine earths. When attacking, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the enemy has no power to fight back, and when defending, hide and hide, so that the enemy cannot find a trace.

The night was deep, and there were only a few dim stars in the sky, twinkling and twinking, as if they hadn't woken up.

On the ground, the grassland in the dark night was silent, and the beasts were completely gone, leaving only the low shadows of grass and trees around.

At this moment, an army of more than a thousand people is quietly marching on the steppe.

The army was all dressed in black uniforms, in order to hide in the darkness from the enemy.

"Tell the people behind you, everyone speed up. "The leader is the fierce Loki, who is not wearing armor at the moment, but just wearing an ordinary black suit. There was a short sword and a long sword on his body, and the black cloth wrapped around his face, making his voice unusually dull at the moment.

The sound behind was not loud, and everyone quietly passed the word to the people next to them like mosquito farts.

"Wait a minute?" After traveling some distance, Loki stopped and gave a pause.

"Call the soldiers who probe the magic array. The orders were passed down one by one, and in a short time a soldier with a strange bowl-shaped item on his head came running to the front.

"Now use your strengths and test the magic fluctuations ahead. Loki whispered.

I saw the soldier with the bowl on his head silently reading something in his mouth, and then a handstand, his head on the ground with the "rice bowl" on his head.

After a while, the soldier's body moved, and one of them flipped and stood up straight. He still had that strange rice bowl on his head.

"General, I am generally clear about the situation ahead. The soldier whispered to Loki.

"Where is the Yellow Dragon Knight?" asked Loki cautiously.

"He is now hiding under the ground in the middle of the barracks, presumably resting. That guy was really scary, but luckily he didn't notice me just now. The reported soldier wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"How are the traps around the enemy camp being armed?" asked Lokilo after a pause.

"I've taken a closer look, all of them are improvised magic arrays, circling the barracks in a whole circle, and it is estimated that they only serve as a vigilance, and they can break through without much effort. ”

"Hmm" Loki nodded, "How many elite-level mages are there in the enemy camp?"

"There weren't many of them, only about thirty. ”

"Hmph. Loki smiled contemptuously, steady, and remembered General Walker's words for himself.

"You may not run into any decent opponents this time, but you have to watch out for that Yellow Dragon Knight. The Yellow Dragon Knight is second only to the Dragon Knight Commander in strength in the enemy's expedition this time. His dragon has the power of the earth. It can manipulate rocks and has a strong sense of perception when underground. He's going to be very difficult to deal with if he's hidden underground, so you'll have to find a way to lure him out, preferably into the sky, so that his magic will be greatly diminished. ”

After pondering General Walker's words, Loki began to prepare for the battle.

"Now let's start assigning tasks to the squads. The captains of the squads came to meet me. The military ordered, and soon a group of black-clad warriors gathered in front of Loki.

"The first squad is here. Hearing this, the leader of the first squad took a step forward.

"You lead your people to stay here and don't move, wait for a moment for the signal magic in the sky to flash, you immediately launch a feint attack on the enemy, the formation should be large, so that the enemy thinks that your side is the direction of the main attack, and when you see the Yellow Dragon Knight coming to your side, retreat immediately, don't fight. ”

The captain of the first squad was given the order to leave the team.

"The second and third squads are here. "The captain of the second squad and the captain of the third squad took a step forward.

"Second squad, you are responsible for making a detour from the left, and attack as soon as you see the Yellow Dragon Knight coming out and approaching the first squad. Your squad has gathered elite mages, so you must kill the enemy, you must rush into the enemy barracks, and when you enter the enemy barracks, you must attack in the opposite direction of the first squad, and draw the enemy from the first squad, and then I will lead the warriors of the sealing class to meet you, and if we can, we will seal the Yellow Dragon Knight. ”

The captain of the second squad was given the order and stood in place, waiting for the next arrangement.

"Third Squad, you are the living force of our battle. If you take a detour from the right side, don't meddle when you see the fierce fighting inside, and wait until the warriors of our sealing class and the Yellow Dragon Knight are fighting, and both sides are very tired, and then you can attack from the right, believing that we can destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. You two go. ”

The captain of the second and third squads was ordered to leave the group.

"The rest of the people followed me, and everyone ran forward. "The pre-battle orders have all been issued, and Loki's team has divided into four groups, each heading for its destination.

The Yellow Dragon Knight's barracks was very quiet at the moment. Because it was already late at night, the soldiers on patrol did not want to disturb the sweet dreams of their comrades, so they even walked carefully when patrolling, and did not dare to make too much noise. Because at this time people are the most sleepy, you can occasionally see patrolling soldiers yawning.

It's funny to say, because he is so tired during the day, so the Yellow Dragon Knight is hiding under the ground and sleeping soundly at the moment. I didn't expect an enemy to come and attack me in the middle of the night.

While the entire barracks was drowsy, a green ball of light rose into the sky.

Then wave after wave of balls of light and explosions began from one side of the barracks.

"Oh! It's annoying, I don't let people sleep at night. Awakened by the chaos on the ground, the Yellow Dragon Knight complained to himself as he lay on the dragon's back.

"Let's go, old man, go to the ground and see what happens. The Yellow Dragon Knight rubbed his tired eyes, relieved himself a little, and gave the Yellow Dragon an order.

The yellow dragon swam freely in the ground as if it were in the water, and after a while, it came out of the ground.

"General, there is an enemy attacking us. The soldiers below reported to the Yellow Dragon Knight.

"I thought it was a big deal, how about the number of enemies, did you figure it out?" said the Yellow Dragon Knight contemptuously with the arrogance unique to the Dragon Knight.

"It's too dark to see clearly. But the enemy is so large that it feels like there must be several thousand men!" said the officer in charge of the night patrol, based on the current situation.

"Hmph, bluff!" the Yellow Dragon Knight just patted the Yellow Dragon a few times, "The number of enemies is not much, it's one or two hundred people over there!" Pointing to the direction the enemy was attacking, the Yellow Dragon Knight didn't think so.

"Don't mess around, everyone, hold your ground. Do a good defense, the number of enemies is not large, just bluffing. Now get ready to rush over and wipe out this small group of enemies. The Yellow Dragon Knight shouted at the soldiers around him. After saying that, he felt a pain in his head, and lay back on Huanglong's back.

"The enemy is bluffing, everyone rush!" The soldiers below were actually a little unhappy when they saw the slack reaction of the Yellow Dragon Knight. But his slackness showed that the enemy was not too strong, so the soldiers prepared their weapons and rushed in the direction of Loki's first squad under the leadership of the officer.

Soon the attack of Loki's first squad was hindered, but the captain of the first squad was also a ruthless character, when a soldier felt that he couldn't resist and asked if he could retreat, the squad leader glared at him and said viciously: "Lao Tzu no matter what feint or main attack he has, where Lao Tzu is there, it is the main attack." My brothers went with me. ”

The entire squad of the first squad, under the leadership of the captain, managed to block the enemy's attack in a short time.

At this moment, the captain of the second squad is carrying out the order of the hidden operation, waiting for the Yellow Dragon Knight to attack the first squad. But when he found that the Yellow Dragon Knight showed no signs of moving at all, he immediately understood that the actual situation did not go according to the battle plan.

"Tell everyone to get ready to attack!" said the captain of the second squad to the lieutenant beside him.

"Captain, the Yellow Dragon Knight didn't attack the first squad?" the adjutant reminded the captain that it was not the time to attack.

"We were the main attackers in this battle and were the most prepared. If you look at the situation over there, the first team won't last long. Hurry up and give the order!" I wanted to explain to the adjutant, but thinking that it was urgent now, the captain of the second squad became anxious.

Soon the second squad broke through the enemy's magic trap from the flank and attacked the main camp of the Celestial Dragon Army.

"General, General, there's an enemy coming in over there!" a soldier rushed over in a panic to report to the Yellow Dragon Knight.

And the Yellow Dragon Knight had actually sat up when the second squad broke through the magic trap.

"Don't panic, don't panic. "The Yellow Dragon Knight is counting the number of enemy powerhouses. When I found that the magic fluctuations on the enemy's people were different from that of about 100 people, I immediately understood that this was the direction of the enemy's main attack.

"You protect the food, and I'll go over and support it. After the Yellow Dragon Knight finished speaking, he patted the Yellow Dragon. As if he had a soul, the yellow dragon tightened his wings and led the yellow dragon knight into the ground.

"I want to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to make Lao Tzu tired, and there is no door. The Yellow Dragon Knight sneered in his heart. "In any case, the most important thing in our army is food, and as long as you are not allowed to get close to food, my goal will be achieved. ”

The Yellow Dragon Knight thought to himself, urging the Yellow Dragon to speed forward. In a few moments, the Yellow Dragon Knight rushed from under the ground to the back of Loki's second squad of soldiers.

"Oh!" a terrifying dragon groan rang out, and the Yellow Dragon Knight was ready to kill.
