Chapter 114: The Dignity of Noxus
The hatred of antiquity is abandoned, and it means that there has been no clash between the armies of either side. Not even small-scale conflicts.
If Ratton's previous intelligence was accurate, then this time Demacia must have a plan to approach the Mogfall Pass, and then again, if there is a real plan, why is this team already close to the Mogfall Pass but there are no Demacia soldiers? Not a single one?
Although Zhang Han had doubts in his heart, he had to complete the task, so he could only silently hope in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen, hoping that he could bring back these soldiers behind him.
In front of you is the land of Demacia, although there is no clear dividing line between the two countries, but it is customary, this large area of reeds is the dividing line that separates the two most powerful countries in the Valoran continent, I don't know if someone planted it on purpose, or who has restrained it with magic, which looks down from the sky like a ribbon of reeds from south to north separating Demacia from Noxus.
Zhang Han walked at the forefront of the team and was the first to step into the territory of Demacia. Even though it's the same land, stepping on it, I always feel a little unreal, as if I've left the world before. Brushing aside the last layer of reeds, Zhang Han who came out of the reeds did look like a person from another world.
Zhang Han had already determined that there was no one outside the reeds, and the seventeenth squad would travel five miles west, which was the most important and dangerous place to place reconnaissance guards.
Because it is located in the territory of the country of Demacia, and this area is an endless plain. So you have to let the players spread out and not keep the regular forward formation.
After Zhang Han made the distribution, she took forty or fifty people to the west, marked on the map, and when she traveled five miles to the west, she would see a pile of rubble, and it was relatively the most suitable place to put the guards there.
Ratton, a liaison officer from the Ministry of Military Affairs, naturally followed the team led by Zhang Han, and the rest of the detachments guarded Zhang Han's detachment in a fan shape, and they tried to slow down as much as possible, although this was not necessary in this wilderness, but they still had to maintain a professional attitude. Seriousness is a good habit to maintain no matter what time you are doing.
It was only a five-mile journey, and in just half an hour, Zhang Han's team came to the place where the pile of rubble was.
The craggy stones are randomly piled here, I don't know why there is such a stone pile in this wasteland, it seems a little abrupt, but it does not affect the continuation of the mission, after all, so far, there is no shadow of any Demacian soldiers.
Zhang Han looked around, and was very sure that there was no problem around, and several detachments in the distance did not release early warning signals, so she asked Raton to take out the reconnaissance guard that needed to be placed here from the space bag. Then I carefully found a relatively more hidden stone crack and inserted it.
The moment he put it down, Zhang Han's face changed.
Zhang Han looked at Raton who was standing behind her, Ratton's face was even pale, and the official from the Military Affairs Department suddenly looked behind him as if he had thought of something. Staring at the reeds in the distance, his eyes were sharp.
Zhang Han followed his gaze and looked over there, and he could clearly see that the reeds were blowing under the west wind, but some of the branches were not swaying with the wind.
Neither she nor Raton took another look at the thing that had changed their faces.
Next to the scout guard that Zhang Han put down, there was another scout guard, and the coat of arms engraved on it was the pattern of the Demacian military flag.
The reeds shook unnaturally, and Zhang Han immediately sent out a signal, allowing the scattered teams to quickly gather together.
Although Zhang Han was a little flustered in his heart, it didn't show it on his face, and many soldiers didn't notice anything abnormal, so they didn't understand why Zhang Han was so eager to bring the originally scattered squad together.
But they followed Zhang Han's gaze and understood.
At this time, the soldiers did not need to use the wind to distinguish whether there was an enemy in the reeds, because by this time the flag of Demacia was already raised high.
The Demacian banner that was silently advancing in the reeds made the group of recruits a little confused, and some of the soldiers even had red eyes, but no matter who they were, they clenched their swords in their hands.
"The Noxian soldier can't be wounded in the back, the Noxian soldier's wound is only in the chest." It's an old saying that has been around in Noxus for a long time.
Zhang Han silently turned around and pulled out the scout guard of Demacia who had exposed their location. Then he drew his sword from the scabbard and said to the soldiers: "This Demacian team should be a patrol, we still have a chance to go back, while the other party has just discovered us and has not set up the encirclement network, we must kill back and go home alive!" ”
The soldiers listened to Zhang Han's order in solemn and silent silence, and they all knew in their hearts that time was running out of them, and if the Demacian troops that came out of the reeds did not exceed 400 people, then they had every chance to withdraw.
Then, as they lined up in formation, they slowly advanced in the direction of the reeds. This group of recruits, including Raton and Zhang Han, are all nervous at the moment, and they are all looking forward to the fact that there are not many people in this Demacia team, hoping to have the opportunity to return to Noxus.
The soldiers of Demacia finally came out of the reeds, they had already lined up the infantry phalanx, each of the Demacian soldiers had a shield, a sharp sword, an axe, and the soldiers in the back row even carried bows and arrows...
This situation makes people despair.
This infantry phalanx had about 400 people, and if it was Demacia's reconnaissance force of 400 people, Zhang Han's team might be able to return to Noxus with low battle damage.
But they were faced with one of Demacia's most famous phalanx of elite infantry.
"Why?" Zhang Han looked at Raton and asked, "Why is there an elite infantry phalanx?" ”
Raton shook his head and said nothing. When he was suddenly discovered by Demacia's reconnaissance guards before, he, an officer of the military affairs department from Noxus, was a little panicked, but at this moment his face returned to normal, as cold as usual, professional.
