Chapter 57: Crossfire
At the same time that the Cyansword mercenary group burst into the battlefield, the Crusader scouts also discovered them.
"Targeted?" In the command center, Alfred slapped the table angrily, "Found the red-haired mage assassin, and the two female knights?" ”
"This time, I must take revenge for the last time!" Alfred remembered the compensation he handed over last time, and some of the assets he was forced to sell at a low price because he didn't have enough money, and he immediately regretted that his heart was dripping blood, "Take over the command system at the front line for me!" I'm going to take command myself! ”
"But ......" The adjutant hesitated, and the commander in front of him clearly wanted to declare a personal vendetta.
"But what? Am I not one of the front-line commanders personally appointed by His Majesty? Alfred said unhappily.
The adjutant was speechless when he heard this, although the motive was obviously problematic, but Alfred, as the commander of the northern front, asked to take over the command within the scope of his authority and responsibility, and there was really no problem in terms of procedure.
If you really want him to die and refuse to disobey, unless he doesn't want to do it.
"Yes! His Highness Alfred! The adjutant said hurriedly.
Before coming to the electronic sand table, the distribution of all the Crusader squads on the front line was fully revealed. This is the latest batch of technologies aided by the Holy See: a digital command system that allows commanders to easily deploy troops and control the overall situation on the battlefield.
The small red dot representing the Azure Sword, according to the last report of the Crusader Scouts, is not far north of the ruins of Olympia.
However, the scout's signal was silent after the debriefing, apparently in the event that something had happened and that the Crusaders needed to reconfirm their location as soon as possible.
"That's it! Such! Alfred quickly drew the route on the sand table, "And then like this!" The twenty squads on the front line that I have designated will all move forward according to the route I have drawn! ”
"Yes!" The adjutant immediately gave the order.
In the distance, the Azure Sword, which was fighting on the battlefield, quickly sensed that something was wrong.
"The frequency of encounters with the enemy is increasing rapidly, regimental commander!" Eleanor pulled the spear from the knight's corpse, turned and said, "We must be watched by scouts!" ”
"The spirits around me tell me that there are no people watching us nearby." Nora beckoned, and the transparent spirit floated towards her, "There are several enemy squads approaching us in the distance. ”
"I don't see any mental bodies in the vicinity." Medea crossed her arms and said, "But I probably know what's going on. ”
As soon as she told the cobweb command system she had encountered last time, the girls were shocked when they heard this.
"What! That is, mobilize a large number of enemies to encircle and annihilate us, right? Sidlifa said excitedly, "Are the Crusaders so afraid of the strength of our Cyan Sword?" ”
This person always has such a clear way of looking at things...... Ignoring her statement in tacit understanding, Eleanor worried:
"If we follow what Medea said, then every time we encounter an enemy, whether we end up getting rid of the other party or not, we are actually exposing our position."
"It's not okay to hide in the neighborhood." Mia added, "Since the other party can determine our approximate location, they will definitely conduct a search and investigation nearby, can we divide our troops?" ”
Divide the troops, divide the ranks into many and break them into pieces, in order to try to penetrate the enemy's encirclement.
"Does dividing troops really work?" Eleanor questioned, "Know that the enemy is far outnumbered by us. Even if the team is broken up as much as possible, for the enemy's commander, it will only go from one position to be determined, and it will become nine. ”
"What's more, the combat strength of a single person is far weaker than that of a team, unless you don't take the enemy the whole time, otherwise once you encounter the enemy, the risk of dying in battle will be greatly increased."
"Maybe we can use Hearthfire Island." Sheila thought and said, "Everyone is hiding in the Hearth Island, and only one person with the strongest stealth ability is kept, carrying a book outside to sneak away. ”
"I guess I'm the strongest stealth among us." Mia objected, "However, it's daytime, and the shadow ability can't be used to its fullest, even I risk being discovered." ”
"Then it's back to the original question." Sheila sighed, "Fighting alone, once you expose yourself on this kind of battlefield, the risk will be greatly increased. It's better to act collectively, at least to cover each other. ”
"That's right, if stealth doesn't work, we'll go head-on." "We don't have to worry about being found or anything, we just need to stay in a guerrilla state and keep eating the small groups of troops we encounter." ”
"Then if the commander mobilizes a large number of troops......"
"Then he won't be able to sustain such a scattered, large-scale search network." Aske said calmly, "Aren't we just in time to get out of the encirclement?" ”
Eleanor froze for a moment, then groaned.
In other words, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will run? This tactic seems to be fine, but why does it feel obscene?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Aske made a final decision: "Then let's do it like this!" ”
——————
A squad of knights is approaching the designated position.
Four knights armed with spears and shields, and eight knights with rifles, cautiously walked through the nearby collapsed ruins to the coordinates given by their superiors.
"No enemy was found." The knight said in the communicator.
"Search the neighborhood." Another knight issued an order, and the knights began to pull the net to investigate.
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and one of the knights fell in response.
"Sniper!" The knights roared, and all the servants hurriedly hid behind the power armor knights, and in the process, two more servants fell.
Then everyone saw that on the road ahead, a knight with a spear and shield was slowly walking out, followed by a samurai with a double battle axe.
"Prepare to charge, I'll cover you." Eleanor and Sidlifa said.
"Okay." Sidlifa nodded.
The knights stood up with their shields in place, trying to intercept bullets that snipers could shoot from any direction. The servants cautiously leaned out from the side of the shield and shot wildly in Eleanor's direction.
The bullets crackled on the shield, and Eleanor, who was already Lv.3, could barely hold the shield and take the damage of the bullets for Sidlifa, who was behind her.
Another long, low screech, so noticeable in the rattle of the assault rifle. The bullet from the sniper rifle pierced the gap between the two large shields and pierced the neck of one of the knight's servants.
"Hide it better!" A blood-splattered knight roared.
Although we use explosion-proof bulletproof shields supported by the Holy See, at least when you shoot, you have to hide behind the shield, right? What's the deal with showing yourself out and shooting at the opposing sniper!
The knights and servants were also speechless, they were all well hidden, it was obvious that the other party's sniper's marksmanship was too accurate, okay?
However, the quarrel was useless, and the servants had to risk shooting again, trying to block Eleanor's charge from the opposite side, only to have another sniper bullet blow up the newly poked head of one of the knights.
Eleanor had already rushed in front of her, and a Crusader knight stabbed with a spear, but the latter swung his shield and disengaged him.
Sidlifa, who was behind him, jumped up. Three other Crusader knights staggered upwards with their spears in an attempt to stab the female warrior in the air.
Sidlifa swung his axes in the air, but instead unleashed Asker's Shadow Eagle Sweep, slicing the tips of all the spears that stabbed them, and then fell into the ranks of the three knights' henchmen.
The servants had already raised their guns and were about to shoot the female warrior in the face, when someone suddenly rushed out of the other party's shadow.
