"What ......" The red clothes on the side also heard this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 "Kecha Goat and Stygian have teamed up?" Why didn't you just say that? How could it be?"

This question is actually redundant. Because of the injury, the other party's brain was obviously not able to think correctly before, and even the speech was intermittent, and it was necessary to guess even with suspicion. Isn't it normal to miss something in this state?

Besides, this is a completely unreasonable thing to do in theory. Because there is no need for these two to act, if they are still allies, then they just need to continue to attack. Stygian Moon will definitely happily provide a lot of support, and take the foreign mercenaries to fight to the death with Hui Yue.

"You're not mistaken, are you?" asked Ivan, suspiciously.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken," the wounded let out a miserable laugh. "The Warlocks of the Stygian Moon and the Destroyer are on the offensive together, and our carefully placed defenses ...... Destroyed like mustard...... I want to hold on to even the slightest hope, but there really isn't any hope...... Cough...... Ahem......"

The act of his speech touched the injury, triggering a series of coughs.

Ivan glanced at the other people around him, and in addition to the red clothes, there were several others who heard the news, but everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"What do you think," the wounded man asked Ivan when the cough was over. "As a member of the regular army, would I be mistaken about such a thing?"

Ivan's face quickly turned ugly. "Damn!" he cursed softly. He knew very well that the Destroyer was actually easy to handle, but if he joined the Warlock of the Stygian Moon, then Lu Wu's trip was not to take risks, but to send him to death.

Especially if the Stygian Moon realigns itself with Kecha Goat......

The face of the red cloth is also cloudy. Although his natural expression was that of a bitter face that had been owed wages by the contractor for three years, Ivan could still read an unusual emotion on his face...... It wasn't a joy or anything, it was a ...... Strong concern.

"Tell me what the hell is going on. Hongyi froze and asked.

Things are actually not complicated, Aqi's combat idea is not so much to destroy the enemy's troops through an attack, but to say that she just wants to seize an outpost position from the front and lay the foundation for a possible large-scale offensive in the future. Therefore, her combat idea is actually to establish a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, hoping to make Kecha Goyat retreat.

This idea came from Lu Wu's previous odds of victory - since Lu Wu could rely on a small position and let the Destroyer choose to give up after weighing it, then Aqi could also do it. The ideal development would be this: Aki has set up a defensive position in a terrain where the Destroyer cannot take advantage of his speed. After a small period of probing, Kecha Goyat decided that it would be too costly to capture the position, and retreated. Anyway, this site is not a core for Kecha Koat, but a temporary outer line that is used as a buffer zone (as can be seen from the patrols and the abandoned mines, which have no intention of using local resources). Here, Kecha Goyat should not invest too many resources and energy.

This is the ideal situation, not only to regain the lost territory, but also to allow the forces of Kecha Goat to continue to fight the Stygian.

However, Aqi has also considered a variety of scenarios, such as Kecha Goyat throwing in some kind of force with long-range attack capabilities. So she didn't slack off in the composition of the position. The way she arranged the formation, even if it was taken out at this moment, made Hongyi and Ivan unable to find any fault - she made full use of the range and power of various equipment, especially the electromagnetic turret, to form a "hard walnut" position, and assisted the elite detachment composed of exoskeleton armor as a local counterattack force. Even the Red Clothes have to admit that if they want to capture this kind of position in a relatively short period of time, they must dispatch the Floating Fortress.

But the premise is ...... Aqi had to face the ordinary army of the Stygian faction, not Kecha Goat, and certainly not a warlock.

Kecha Goat's army system and combat ideas are almost incompatible with the existing ones in this world. Moreover, because it knows the war system of this world very well, it understands very well that the war in this world is carried out by warlocks and floating fortresses. So in the early days of the war, once neither the Floating Fortress nor the Warlock intervened, it swept through the army - taking over the entire (or at least most) Banshee Gate with a group of scleroskin monsters that were apparently experimental waste. When the Destroyer in the later stage entered the battle, it made Huiyue's army even more terrified. It only takes a few patrols of Destroyers to keep Huiyue's army cringe, content to hold on to the last bit of territory rather than launch a counteroffensive.

Of course, tentative counteroffensives are not without - there are always those who are not afraid of death. Either they are more courageous, or they are forced into desperation. But, as everyone knows, the smaller the fight, the more you can take advantage of the Destroyer's individual combat power. So these counteroffensives, like the previous one launched by Ivan, were all completely lost.

This time, Ah Qi used her own way to estimate the military strength and equipment of Kaicha Goat. She was even prepared to be outflanked by the enemy and cut off her supply lines. The corps in charge of the rear, although it was far away from the position of Aqi's main force and relatively independent, had also prepared a turtle shell in advance, just like Aqi's main position, but the scale was slightly smaller.

After several raids by Kecha Goat, the entire legion quickly retreated into the pre-prepared position.

Normally, they can last a long time, or they can inflict massive damage on Kecha Goat. The morale of the entire legion, from top to bottom, was still very high at the beginning. Because obviously, even if Kaicha Goyat really wanted to destroy them, he would have to focus on Aqi's side first. The first day was similar to what had been expected, with several tentative attacks by Kecha Goyat being repulsed. But at night, it's a completely different story.

The external positions, which were originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, collapsed one by one in a short period of time. The Destroyer is like playing, easily capturing one position after another. Crossfire did not play at all, in fact, there were soldiers everywhere who were shooting in the wrong direction. The defensive firepower was either not fired at all, or it was not aimed at the enemy, but at its own position. In short, when all sorts of completely abnormal things happened, the whole legion from top to bottom was half cold-even a fool could see that it was the effect of magic, and the Warlock of the Stygian was coming.

The next day, Kecha Goyat sent only a very limited number of troops, and methodically uprooted almost all of the outlying positions. Because the soldiers on the defense are either asleep or trapped by hallucinations - and thus do all sorts of things completely wrong. It's not their fault. In fact, it's not anyone's fault. According to the rules of this world, ordinary legions can and can only delay time in front of the warlock legion.

Just like the treatment of cancer on Earth. Everyone knows that terminal cancer is a terminal disease, so this treatment is not expected to eliminate the cancer cells in the patient's body and restore the patient's health, but to delay the treatment cycle for a few more years, that is, to allow the patient to live a few more years. In the same way, in the absence of a floating fortress, when facing a warlock, ordinary armies never count on defeating or defeating the enemy, but on how long they can hold out in front of the enemy. For example, if you can hold out for three days, it is an excellent tactical performance, and if you can hold it for five or six days, you will have achieved remarkable results.

The question is...... Under normal circumstances, it is possible to retreat, even if it is a rout, at least some of the people can escape. Even if the situation is bad, at least there will be hope. Because usually when you're facing an enemy Warlock, it means that your own Warlock is nearby. At least, in theory, not so desperate.

But this time the situation is completely different.

By the time the soldiers realized their situation, their morale was on the verge of collapse. On the battlefield, fear is contagious. Under normal circumstances, officers are able to suppress soldiers, but when even mid- and high-ranking officers fall into despair, everything they find is normal.

With a dozen henchmen, the legion took the enemy carrier stolen by the scouts, and secretly fled from their own troops, fleeing from this hopeless battlefield.

"The Warlocks of the Stygian have joined the fray and fought with Kecha Goat. This time, Ivan, who had declared that even a 1 in 10 chance was worth the risk, knew he had to give up. Yes, the Floating Fortress is a good and powerful reward, but if there is no hope of success, then even the Floating Fortress must be abandoned, and nothing is more important than your own. "Can you contact Lu Wu?" he asked Red.

"No, not at all. After fiddling with the red clothes for a long time, he finally put his terminal aside in a dejected manner. "The entire communication was jammed by Kecha Goyat. ”

But this is the norm - Kecha Goat had relied on this hand before, and he had occupied most of the Banshee's Gate with his crusty monster alone.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Retreat first. "The Red Clothes have already opened a gap for the whole army to raid and make Aqi retreat. This is not the place where the Legion uses its weapons. In fact, to throw the legion into the battle to break the siege is to send it to death, not only to oneself, but also to the soldiers under one's command. "But you can't all retreat, you have to leave a part of the people, set up a defensive position here, and wait for Lu Wu to come back. The retreat was not about returning to our camp, but about retreating to the rear for a short distance...... It can support the front at any time and evacuate quickly. ”

"But if that's the case...... The people who stayed......"

"I stayed behind myself. Redcoat said. He looked at Ivan. Although this old man is no longer the commander of the legion, there is no doubt that he still has a lot of influence in this legion. It's okay now, after all, Ivan is just a "staff officer" at the moment, and his name is not justified. But if Lu Wu died......

"Can Lu Wu come back?" Ivan's face was not very good, at least he didn't seem to have any schadenfreude or relief. If he had any insidious plans, it would definitely not include Lu Wu's inexplicable death in a meaningless operation. This sudden surprise only messes up an otherwise well-thought-out plan.

"It should be ......," Redcoat said. "He's not an ordinary person. ”

"What does it mean not to be an ordinary person? He's a warlock, how can it be?"

"He's not a warlock," Redcoat replied. "But I ...... I could feel that he had a special power to protect him. The Destroyer...... No, Kecha Goat, there should be some scruples. ”

"By the way, do you want to tell Amber about the situation?" Ivan remembered about it. Although Amber is now considered a soldier, everyone knows why she joined the army. So in this kind of formal action, Amber is always deliberately placed in the rear by others, that is, in the safest position.

"No, don't say anything, what we're going to do now is ...... Wait. Redcoat said. "As long as he can come back...... That's it...... Even if it's just one breath......" he whispered the last sentence.
