Chapter 2069, Evacuation
|||->-> After the battle in the West, the season has just entered the golden autumn, and then it will be winter.
Unlike the modern forces of human civilization, the season still has a relatively obvious impact on a special civilization like the Winged Man civilization.
So next, according to Scarlett Winslet's idea, she plans to retreat temporarily, switch from offense to defense, and at the same time prepare for the winter, she can also further touch the bottom of the opposite side.
In this way, the army of winged people who were pressed on the battlefield in the west began to retreat after receiving the order.
At the same time, in a woodland about 400 miles away from the western battlefield, several troops that had almost completely separated from the main battlefield also started to evacuate immediately after receiving the news.
Obviously, the troops hiding in this woodland during the entire frontline engagement were the prayer troops of the Winged People's army.
Now that the front-line army has begun to evacuate, they naturally have to leave as soon as possible.
As a functional unit that does not have much combat effectiveness in itself, the praying force undoubtedly needs to be protected.
Surprisingly, however, the Winged Man's army deployed to them a meagre number of escorts.
There were only three hundred Templars.
Although it is a high-level class, this number is not enough to see.
In fact, the reason why there is such an arrangement, Scarlett Winslet naturally has her considerations.
The best protection for the praying troops is to avoid being discovered by the enemy! Let them be in a completely hidden and safe location, providing a steady stream of faith support to the frontline troops.
Based on this premise, if there are more guards sent, once the battle becomes larger, it will not be possible to conceal it even if it wants to.
In this way, it is a wise choice to ensure the basic safety of the prayer with a small number of high-level troops, and then mainly to hide, avoid the enemy army, or even avoid the main battlefield, and hide in a place that the enemy will never find.
This has proved to be the right thing to do, and the situation of the prayer forces has been very safe since the war in the west has been fought until now.
Of course, there are not many troops in this and Gaosu West, and there is no time to take the initiative, which is estimated to account for a large reason.
After taking everything with them and erasing all traces that could be erased, the three hundred Templars began to escort the troops out.
Their whole process reflects two words, prudence!
Their original hiding place was originally away from the main battlefield and was unlikely to be discovered by the enemy, but now, they did not have the slightest relaxation and carelessness when they started to evacuate, and even cautious enough not to choose to take the shortest route, but chose to detour, preparing to take the troops, bypass this area, and return to the city of the Winged People civilization from a more peripheral route.
In a way, they were overly cautious.
However, this level of caution proved to be necessary, because after they left, the woodland, which was completely deviated from the main battlefield area, welcomed a new batch of guests.
Those were five red fox people with beautiful brown-red fur, and there was no doubt that these were the fox scouts under Luo Ji's command.
In the course of the previous battle, Luo Ji had already sent out all the reconnaissance teams in his hands.
As for why the reconnaissance team appeared in this position completely away from the main battlefield, the reason is very simple, because Luo Ji said it when he gave the order......
"The praying force is very special, compared to protection, the opposite side may choose to hide, pay attention to those areas that deviate from the battlefield, the more remote the location, the more important the search!"
That's why the fox-man scouting team appeared here.
I have to say that the fox people can be said to be talented in carrying out reconnaissance missions, they have an alert personality, while having a flexible mind, they also have extremely sensitive senses, some things that human scouts can't see, but they can rely on the super senses of the orc race, quickly capture, for example, now......
"There are people who have lived in this woodland for a long time, and there should be a lot of them."
One of the Red Fox Scouts, after confirming a few locations, spoke up quickly......
"Although the traces have been deliberately erased, some of the things left over from long-term life cannot be completely covered up."
As he spoke, the Red Fox Scout sniffed.
"However, there is no residual smell in the air, and given the season, this group has been gone for at least three days."
With that, the Red Fox Scout turned to look at the four members of the scout team scattered around.
"Go and get all the nearby reconnaissance teams over, we'll have to figure out which direction they're leaving!"
Several foxman reconnaissance teams that quickly gathered began to carry out an almost carpet search centered on this woodland.
Troops of a certain size, once they begin to move, want to completely cover their whereabouts, it is almost impossible.
After locking on the other party's tracks, the fox reconnaissance team sent people back to report the situation, and at the same time, they also sent two teams to follow the traces.
Along the way, the Red Fox Scouts who were responsible for tracking these traces could be said to have clearly felt the other party's caution.
The guys on the other side are simply picking the difficult way to go.
After leaving the woodland and passing through a hilly area, he plunged headlong into a large mountain forest.
The rugged and difficult mountain road exuded an air of persuasion.
If it was a Terran army that pursued them, then their vehicles, as well as some large equipment, would probably have to be left at the foot of the mountain.
"Hell, those guys on the other side are a little too cautious, aren't they? When we go to the mountains, we are not at peace, and from time to time they leave some misinformation to mislead us. ”
Last night's light rain made it a little difficult for them to track and make the trail even more slippery.
With this as a premise, coupled with the misleading information deliberately left by the other side, the mission of the Red Fox Scouts was also not carried out smoothly.
Leaning on the trunk of a big tree, during this time, a red fox scout, who could be said to have been tossed badly, viciously bit the military ration in his hand, and at the same time, he couldn't help but complain a few words.
In comparison, their captain is very calm......
"The more cautious we are, the more important it is to the goal, and this time, we may be able to make a big difference."
