Chapter 482: Night Attack

"Well, I'm going to make a chain raft, which will be much safer." Hathaway said.

"What is a chain raft?" Bi Lin. Hegel asked, a word she had never heard of either.

"It's very simple, it's about connecting countless rafts together. Every ten soldiers made a raft, and then connected these rafts end to end with iron rings, which can be connected to several kilometers long, such rafts are not easily washed away by water. Hathaway said.

"It's kind of interesting. However, it is more sturdy to connect these rafts horizontally. "Bilin. Hegel thought about the rafts in a line as he asked.

"That's not possible, the narrowest part of the Jiuqu River, only a few tens of meters wide, will be dangerous." Hathaway said without looking up, her eyes looking at the map. Unfortunately, the Jiuqu River is only briefly marked on the map, and its location is not accurate.

At the sound of an order, the troops marched and marched towards the Jiuqu River.

The march was slower than Hathaway had imagined, and it took her special forces a day to reach the banks of the Jiuqu River, while the main force took three days.

On Hathaway's orders, seven thousand people began to make rafts, and another three thousand began collecting drunken cloves.

"Why are you collecting these things?" Leonardo. Beirut asked, puzzled.

"This is the cheapest medicinal herb." Hathaway said.

"You want to refine them?" Leonardo. Beirut, although not an alchemist, is not unaware.

"Of course, drunken cloves are meant to be used for the production of drugs." Hathaway said she had ready-made tools in her hands. And there are also mage apprentices with the army, which can be refined in large quantities.

"We still have about one day to refine as much as we can, this is our gift to the underground coalition forces." Hathaway said with a smile. If she has enough time and manpower, she will also give more gifts to the underground coalition, and no one here knows more about the forest than her.

The rafts are tightly connected by vines or ropes...... These vines are thousands of years old, and they are extremely tough. Even a sword is hard to break. And those ropes are also special trekking ropes. Soon, nearly ten kilometers long were discharged, and these rafts were connected by rings made by dwarven blacksmiths, and the parts of these rings inserted into the wood were barbed. Avoid being dragged out...... Hathaway tried the raft. It's pretty solid. With the strength of his own hands, he couldn't pull the mountain vine away.

The work of refining drunken cloves has also come to an end, and about 6,000 catties of drugs have been refined in one day. This is already a lot, although because of the hurry, the efficacy of the extracted drug will be worse, but the dosage can make up for the lack of quality.

"Let's go!"

Hathaway looked around, waved her hand, and was the first to walk onto the raft, followed by a steady stream of troops.

The power of nature is not to be taken lightly, although Hathaway and the others have made sufficient preparations, but in the rapids, after half a day, the raft began to loosen, and even the logs used to make the raft were cracked by the rapids.

"Fortify the raft!" As soon as the officer leading the team gave the order, the magic apprentices who had been assigned to each team before setting off crushed the magic gems that had been prepared for a long time, and a puff of magic light sprinkled on the raft, and the rattan ropes and rafts that were about to break were immediately intact, only a few rafts were scattered without being strengthened in time, and the men and horses and baggage on them immediately fell into the turbulent river.

Eight mana hours...... More than 700 kilometers away, eight magic hours have already been completed.

When Hathaway and the others climbed down the raft tiredly, they were less than two hundred kilometers away from the city of Milan.

About sixty people were missing due to the unexpected losses of this water march, and in the Jiuqu River, missing means death. But this is already beyond everyone's expectations, and I believe that if anyone knew that Hathaway had crossed the natural danger of the Jiuqu River at such a slight cost, they would definitely be shocked.

"Hathaway, the latest intel has arrived." Leonardo. Beirut leaned down next to Hathaway and whispered, they had been here for two days, and a kilometer in front of them was the city of Milan.

From the angle where the two of them are, it can be clearly seen that there are only about 10,000 goblin troops in Milan. There were as many as 40,000 other logistics troops, which was far beyond Hathaway's plan, and the city of Milan had become the most important supply base for the underground coalition army.

"How?" Hathaway asked softly.

"Muse. Bell is indeed in trouble, he is not facing 70,000 underground coalition troops, but 120,000, and there are also 20,000 winged human races and 5,000 cave giants, his trouble is big, and our trouble is not small. "Leonardo. Beirut said with a sigh.

With the current intelligence, it seems that the muse. Bell is undoubtedly dead, but his own people are not much better, with 10,000 troops, it is not so easy to break through the city of Milan, which has 50,000 or 60,000 people, although Hathaway is a great magician, but she believes that there is absolutely no shortage of French fighters in Milan City...... As for the drug, it is not so one-size-fits-all.

"Is there any information on the provinces of Sildor and Montahar?" Hathaway asked, carefully remembering the situation in Milan.

"There is no detailed intelligence. However, it has also been contacted with the Southern Legion in the province of Sildo. "Leonardo. Beirut said.

"Well, got it, let's go back and think about it."

Hathaway slowly retreated, over two mountains, in a canyon, back to her camp.

Muse. Bell is indeed a good general...... Not only excellent, but also a handsome talent. Under his command, the 200,000 imperial army, with the support of the priest and mage regiments, he fought the underground coalition three times, annihilating 30,000 underground coalition troops, and losing less than 30,000 himself.

This qiē is all by the muse. Bell lulled the enemy into the vast water network of the province of Sildo, where cavalry was not suitable for operation, and where the speed on which cavalry relied was the fatal weakness.

The remaining 60,000 horses of the Imperial Southern Legion. They have all returned to the province of Sildo, and behind them are the wolf cavalry of the 40,000 underground coalition army, and their purpose is very simple, as long as they look at the southern legion, it is enough.

At present, the main forces of the underground coalition have been gathered in one place, and they want to use a strong force to defeat the muses at once. The Imperial reinforcements led by Bell were all wiped out in the south, and as long as they were eliminated, the Ortiga Empire would no longer have the strength to resist.

Obviously, the muse. Bell wasn't prepared to give the underground coalition such a chance. He had been moving his troops through the southern water network. Lure the enemy's cavalry to attack, and then find the right opportunity to destroy some of them one at a time, and eat away little by little...... It was a large-scale guerrilla war. Muse. Bell has three of them. It's very different from Hathaway's previous estimate.

"Do you think we need to help the underground coalition? Let them move forward more motivated. Hathaway said with a smile.

"A fire to the city of Milan?" Bi Lin. Hegel asked, of course she knew that if she really succeeded in burning down the city of Milan. The underground coalition forces are in a dilemma.

"Yes, I'm going to use this method to force the underground coalition and the Muses. Battle of Bell. Hathaway said.

"But there are almost 50,000 enemy troops in front of us, and although there are only 10,000 official warriors, we all know that all the people of the underground race can be called warriors." Bi Lin. Hegel said.

"Yes, if we fight head-on, our casualties will be large, but just set fire, it will be much easier." Hathaway said.

"What do you mean?" Leonardo. There is still confusion in Beirut.

"Yes, it is enough for us to drive them out of Milan and to the province of Montahar. As for the rest, it depends on whether the commander of the underground coalition is smart enough. "Jayfar. Troon also smiled, this kind of combat method is commonplace for the special combat team, and it is not difficult at all.

"Joffa, it's up to you to make and carry out the plan for arson, and we'll all listen to you." Hathaway laughed too, this time although she was understaffed, she had a lot of weapons prepared.

"No problem, it's enough to hand over those two magicians to me, and the others should rest here! It was useless for them to go. "Jayfar. Troun said.

"Wait, as long as you people go, there is no problem in burning supplies, but our main purpose is to drive the 50,000 enemy troops in Milan to the province of Montahar, which you people cannot do at all. You can make them chaotic, but you can't drive them in the right direction. Hathaway suddenly frowned again.

"We don't have enough people! Even if they were all dispatched, this amount of manpower would not be able to scare them away at all. "Jayfar. Troon said with a frown.

"You can't scare them away, you can deceive them." Bi Lin. Hegel thought for a moment and said.

"Tricked away?"

"Yes, what is our main purpose? In terms of orders, we must destroy all the supplies in the city of Milan, and as long as we succeed in setting fire to the supplies, we will be considered to have completed the task. "Bilin. Hegel said slowly.

Everyone nodded, in the army, as long as they go to the battlefield, they must obey the order, even if the order is unreasonable. If the mission fails, it already has to be punished, and if the order is not carried out, the consequences will be even more severe.

"We can bring out those 10,000 goblin warriors, and in Milan City, only they are the most combative." Hathaway groaned.

"But it still doesn't work! In the city of Milan, the 10,000 goblin wolf cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, although the combat effectiveness of the goblins is not as good as the dark elves and gray dwarves, but the war wolves under their crotch are not mortal...... In terms of speed, they are faster than our horses, and it is easier said than done to lure them. "Bilin. Hegel shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, let me figure it out! In two days, the results will be known. Hathaway thought for a moment and said, looking at her look, Bilin. Hegel and Jerfa. Troon didn't even know what she was thinking.

The city of Milan is located at the junction of the provinces of Sildeau and Montahar, and at this time the muse. Bell's main force is also in the water network in the southern part of Montahar province. If it is a light cavalry, it will take at least seven days to walk, and it will take half a month to go back and forth.

It was already dark, and the dark clouds were stacked layer by layer, getting thicker and thicker, but these clouds were actually dark red, which looked very weird.

Barthes. Willie looked anxiously into the distance, secretly praying that the military operation would be successful...... In the evening, Hathaway set off with two court magicians and a special combat team, and under the cover of the clouds, headed for the city of Milan.

In the sky above the city of Milan, Hathaway and the others hid above the clouds, waiting for an opportunity, although the sentinels in the city were gathered, no one noticed that there was already a strange army ambushed above the clouds.

Suddenly, a low whistling sound suddenly broke through the air, pressed down from top to bottom, and then, a meteor shower fell from the sky, which was the magic cast by Hathaway and others, and at any time burst bombs, incendiary bombs, tear gas canisters, etc., fell like a raging storm towards the city of Milan...... No one could have imagined that a force would suddenly appear in the city of Milan.

From a normal point of view, no matter which troops, it is impossible to escape the surveillance of the underground coalition scout network, but the Jiuqu River is their blind spot, and it is this fatal negligence that leads the city of Milan to become a burning purgatory in a breath, and Hathaway and the others seem to be able to smell the smell below in the air.

"Withdraw!"

Hathaway decisively took the lead, and the special operations team rode the vulture and began to retreat.

Rumble......

On the ground, a black torrent followed the trail left by the snow vulture in the sky, struggling forward, and a long wolf howl sounded on the ground from time to time.

On a high mountain, the blue writhed impatiently around its massive body, and immediately there was the sound of trees breaking behind it, and it let out a few impatient roars, remembered Hathaway's warning, and lay down again.

On either side of a valley below, Hathaway's troops had already been ambushed, and all eyes were on the direction of the valley mouth.

Rumble~~

The ground shook, and a wolf howl came from afar...... In the sky, a large flock of snowy vultures moved forward like a huge cloud.

"Whew~"

The terrible wolf howl resounded through the mountains, and a fierce wolf appeared at the mouth of the valley, and in an instant, this torrent filled the entire valley.

"Roar~"

High on the mountain, a huge abyssal demon stretched its wings and soared into the air, letting out a loud dragon groan.

Dragon, is the top of the world's biological chain of the super race, for the lower races have a natural restraint zuò, the surging dragon power swept across the valley in an instant, although those wolf warriors are fierce, but under the raging dragon power, suddenly into chaos.

Some of the farts are rolling and urine, some of the legs and feet are numb, and some wolves bèi escaped, and when some of the wolf warriors turned around and wanted to escape, they were blocked by other wolf riders on the passage, and suddenly bit the mouth, and the originally orderly torrent turned into a pool of muddy water in an instant.

"Kill~"

On both sides of the valley, there was a sudden shout of killing, and the crossbow arrows were overwhelmingly shot from the two guns to the middle, and for a moment only the screams could be heard, and the crossbow arrows made a 'poof' sound when they shot through the flesh, and then the Terran army all over the mountains launched a final attack...... (To be continued......)
