Chapter 1085: Trap
"That's Kadein Island, the legendary mecca of pirates...... Well, don't ask me how the island, which is said to be hidden in the perennial magical fog, the maze of reefs and turbulence under the sea, has become so sunny and unobstructed, and I don't have time to explain it now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You just need to know that the cultists of the Black Sea have done a great job on that island and summoned an Abyss Lord. Lu Xi explained to the officer corps of the fleet.
"Abyss Lord? Can you be sure of this? Colonel Belencaster! "Templeborne? Brigadier General Dandy Lane ...... Well, for the sake of convenience and to exempt the setting of the big universe from the suspicion of the number of water words, let's call him the Brigadier General with Squinting Eyes, which sounds more kind. The squinting Brigadier frowned. He originally thought that it was just a demon army that simply entered indiscriminately, and this kind of thing has not happened in history. However, whether there is a demon army led by a demon general or even an abyss lord, that is the gap between the rabble and the regular army.
Lu Xi felt that the other party intended to call his full name and military rank at this time, and it seemed that he was somewhat relying on his rank to suppress himself, but at this time, he didn't have time to meet the other party in general, so he just said: "And one of the most powerful abyss lords, 'The Burner' Glinar...... Even since the founding of the country, the federal army has hardly dealt with demons, but the name should be like thunder, right? ”
Andreel couldn't help but smile wryly: "If I were a brave and fearless Auckland knight who looked down on death, hearing this name would definitely be like beating chicken blood, even if it was crushed bones, I would have to bite off a piece of that guy's flesh, but I am a member of the Knowledge Alliance, and I want to run away a little now." ”
Of course, the knights of Auckland will hate Glinar the Burner, after all, the source of the royal name of the Holy Spring, the holy spring in the Frost Forest was also burned by the Hellfire of the Balorfire Demon, but the magicians of the Alliance of Learning obviously lack the motivation to be motivated by hatred.
“…… Looking at the group of Flomos just now, I really didn't expect it to be that celebrity's subordinates. Squinting the Brigadier said. Maybe he was just expressing his feelings, but it seemed to reveal a little bit of distrust of Lu Xi's intelligence.
"For an old Abyss Lord like the Incinerator, Flomo is just cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time, and it is enough to be able to play a certain role as a pathfinder and scout...... You see, doesn't that expose us? Lu Xi shrugged. The implication is: Sao Nian, your concentration is not enough! A flock of big crows chirping is going to let you out.
Everyone around seemed to feel the subtle confrontation between the two generals, although one had not yet returned to China to participate in the conferment of the title and obtain the appointment, and felt awkward.
"That Abyss Lord is already aware of our presence, and must be fully prepared by now. If he really wants to destroy us...... He should lead his fire demons and refining demons, which also have flying abilities, to personally attack. Glinar himself is very aggressive! However, he is still standing on the island...... Why is that? There is also the evil aura that rises to the sky on the island and the obvious spatial fluctuations, which is terrifying to think about! There is no problem if the Flomo under his command dies, as long as there is a clear goal of protection, as long as there are 5,000 fire-breathers, an impermeable anti-aircraft fire network can be established. ”
"So, what is the goal of an abyss lord as famous as the Incinerator to lead a horde of demons to appear on a small island? Colonel, you don't mean to say that he's going to open a portal directly to the abyss, do you? The World Barrier is still there, and the Calamity King can't come to the main plane at all...... Those lord-level demons who embodied the rules and will of the abyss could not achieve the power of their heyday. ”
"You don't need the King of Calamity, but even if a million Sinking Demons and Bad Demons pour out, the impact on the surrounding countries is big enough......" Lu Xi looked directly into the other party's eyes: "Tell me, Your Excellency General, do we know that an old Abyss Lord is brewing a big news, we are obviously there, and we are close to Chi Qi, are we just watching from the side, but doing nothing?" ”
“…… I am responsible for the most important property of the Commonwealth. He replied.
Very high-sounding but there is no reason for no nutritional value. Lu Xi couldn't help but look at Sai Xiliu with sympathetic eyes, and fully expressed with his eyes, "Is this guy who is full of official clichés really okay?" ”。 Miss Student Union President naturally maintained the demeanor of an elite officer with a solemn face, but she responded to Lu Xi's vicious eyes with her eyes.
…… Well, it looks like Sehireu trusts this squint. Hmph, just a squint, how can you get the trust of Seyleu? When Lu Xi thought of this, he wanted to stab the other party again, but when he heard the squinting eyes, he suddenly smiled and said, "However...... The Confederation and its servicemen are equally responsible to the world as a whole. Colonel Berencaster, I hope you have a plan worth trying, but definitely not a reluctant assault. Yes, like you just said, Lu Xi? Colonel Belencaster, the devil may well have laid a net on the island. There's no way I'm going to take the new high-speed warship that the Federation has built with great deal of money to break through the enemy's pocket formation. ”
A new type of high-speed battleship, with a blue and white livery and a wooden shell treated with special alchemy, is wrapped in a mysterious and protective Mithril and Adamantite gold alloy at key points, exuding an elegant halo of bright silver and deep indigo. The new type of guide cannon is not the previous cylinder with a magic amplification crystal inserted in front of it, just like a large ballpoint pen-like shape, but more like a spear carved from a high-purity mana amplification crystal into the spearhead in front of it...... Well, in essence, there are a lot of similarities between the two in appearance, and maybe it's in a deadly sharp beauty.
What the financial situation of the federation is, Lu Xike knows very well. The Commonwealth Offa Gatekeepers have money, but the federal government has no money. The gatekeepers have the money to restore their own private troops, but the central government does not necessarily have the money to build new large warships for the state-owned navy...... Well, it is absolutely impossible to at least quickly restore the size of the battleship to its pre-war state. These five high-speed cruisers should have been made up by Master Russell, who is the Federal Minister of War, by smashing the pot and selling iron, right? Even if that's the case, don't you still have to appoint the gatekeeper-born Squint to be the commander?
What a pathetic! Poor Federation, especially compared to Karin, who is not bad for money, is very hard to think about!
Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy, of course, how this smile would be interpreted in the eyes of the people around him was a matter of opinion. He pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Of course I won't let your fleet attack and die, but if you let your fleet be bait, will you be willing?" ”
Brigadier Squinting raised his eyebrows, and the fox eyes with extremely black bellies seemed smaller, but the scrutinizing eyes squeezed out of the gap between the eyelids were several more layered.
…… Well, ordinary people will definitely feel that they have been seen through all over their bodies, as if they are naked. However, for a person with excellent spiritual senses like Lu Xi, there is a feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Sounds like a bit of an interesting ......," he said.
The fleet of five high-speed warships did not continue to move forward after giving the Flomo Legion a chrysanthemum, but instead took off and evacuated the battlefield...... This is normal, Chenhai is not the territory of the Federation, and the army led by the mage has never been known for fighting to the death. In comparison, the sea clan army that had landed in Atlantis showed a sense of responsibility and will to fight for this sea, this realm that gave birth to the sea civilization. Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the Sea Clan will be greatly weakened after going ashore, obviously this is just a group of rabble of feudal city-state system, and the unsatisfactory organization will inevitably determine the lower limit of their will to fight, but at this time, this group of marine amphibian races has shown no less than the group of monks and soldiers carefully selected, uniformly trained and organized by the Great Holy Church, led by Templars and priests with swords.
With the help of the tsunami, the Sea Clan soldiers soon occupied a beach on the western side of Kade Island that was less than 1 kilometer long and should have an average width of about 200 meters. However, sharks and whale people, who are the forwards, still pay a lot of price. They were originally responsible for hand-to-hand combat and morale in the Sea Clan's army. The former's physique is extremely strong, with shark-like fangs and a fierce will to fight, and he also has quite good obedience, which can be regarded as the best quality soldier; The latter's body size can almost be compared to that of the mountain giants, the average height is ten meters away, and the brute strength of a body to move mountains and seas is even more terrifying, and the number is even rarer than that of Aron and Naga, but unfortunately the intelligence is not very high...... With the vanguard composed of these two warriors, and relying on the ocean, theoretically they are not afraid to fight against the high-level demons.
Sadly, many people mistakenly think that chaotic and evil demons are fierce and cruel, chaotic and aggressive, and forget that demons are actually a race that is much longer than human civilization, and many long-lived demons even have a long lifespan that can be compared to the entire history of human civilization. Who would believe that the elite of this race does not know how to play with intrigues?
So, when the sharks and whales finally emptied the enemy of the demonic miscellaneous soldiers left on the beach, they were ready to charge further. Many demons that were supposed to have been slain—they looked like a mountain of flesh covered with tentacles—suddenly exploded. In the flash of the fire, some kind of corrosive acid splattered on all the living creatures around it, and the three newly landed Swamp Marksmen were blown up on the spot. The Sea Clan soldiers, who are good at using the water element and have a certain resistance to water magic, have almost no strength to resist in the face of this acid that has been modified by the Abyss Energy Demon.
And acid is only the first layer of the evil taste trap left by the demons. Soon, a large number of brownish reptiles the size of Xiao Qiang emerged from the wreckage of the explosion, and they surged in all directions, always reaching the most densely populated place, and then exploded automatically with a snap, raising a foul-smelling abyssal poisonous mist.
Not to mention the unique corrosiveness of the poisonous mist, if you handle it carefully, you can still barely save it, but the sad thing is that the Sea Clan soldiers are amphibians and have gills. Even if someone quickly covers his nose, it is impossible to cover the three cracks on his neck and subconsciously open and close automatically.
As a result, after only seeing a large area of poisonous mist, a large number of Sea Clan warriors who had landed in advance suddenly suffered heavy casualties. If calculated by the most ruthless cost performance, the losses have already exceeded the demons attacked by the tsunami.
This kind of demon that can self-explode with corpses is called a demon breeding, and it is a demon that can ripen its own cells at high speed and produce doppelgangers in large quantities. Although he has no intelligence and can only rely on instinct to act and eat, he actually needs a lot of special conditions to evolve into this way, and he is by no means cannon fodder such as sinking demons and bad demons as much as he wants. However, in the eyes of the true Demon Lord, this is still a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time.
This is actually the difference between the demon lords and the generals of the order races such as humans and elves, who are often more ruthless, ruthless and rational than the latter, and will only think in the most rational and extreme way.
As a result, just such an attack put the landing force of the Sea Clan in a rather awkward situation: the vanguard of the elite advance force, which had already rushed across the beach and was ready to continue the attack to the center of the island, was not directly hit by the trap, but lost continuity with the subsequent projection and reserve forces.
"Roar!" After receiving such a sudden blow, the shark sergeants on the front line were provoked to ferocity, and before the Argonian officer could give the order, they waved their blades and howled to pounce on the demons on the outskirts of the beach. At this time, a large group of flogging demons had already prepared, opened their sharp bone spurs, and waited at the junction of the beach and the green space, and formed a formation.
Dozens of shark men who were particularly brave and charged at the forefront were directly pierced by the sharp forest formed by bone spurs on the spot, and before they could make any sound, they died on the spot. Several whale people seemed to want to use their rock-like bodies and strength to break through the demons' defenses, but they only saw that in the military formation formed by the flogging demons, several sheep-headed demons armed with decapitating broadswords came on the spot with the magic halo of the teleportation array. The blade made by the demonic power flowed with blood and turned into a blinding red light, and the huge bodies of the whales were torn in two.
If the Sea Clan soldiers who poured onto the beach were floods, the demons turned into levees made of lava solidification. Instead of shaking the levees, the flood evaporated into a vast expanse of steaming mist.
"It's a trap!" Rondo? Red Scale said this classic line that is destined to appear several times in every era, thought about it, and felt that just expressing such feelings should not be too in line with his character as an old bandit for many years, so he said to the mermaid girl who went ashore with him: "We must withdraw!" ”
"But...... It's too late! We can't retreat at this time! We must break through the demon's defenses as soon as possible! "It's as if a stupid white and sweet mermaid girl who is off the line shows the bravery and determination of a natural king in the ocean, a golden-blooded clan...... and stubbornness that is willful to the extreme.
"Courage and stupidity are two different things! Little girl, a rookie who has never fought will give me an honest listen to the old man's opinion! The old Argonian interrupted Miss Mermaid with a roar, and it was basically impossible for ordinary Argonian officers to have this kind of courage. As a result, his actions suddenly ushered in the sideways eyes of the people around him. Miss Mermaid's faithful personal maids, the scaly and armored Naga ladies even glared angrily, estimating that if the hostess gave an order, they would not hesitate to let this old wurm who had committed the following offences be different...... Well, without the centuries-old professional experience of outlaws before it, Rondo? Red scales can't be so big at all, right?
Probably feeling that his actions seemed to be a little too much, and very inconsistent with the current "cultural traditions" and "political correctness" of the Sea Clan, the former Pirate King slowed down his tone and said, "Yes! So, I'll continue to lead the team to continue the attack! Of course, it would be great if you could tear a hole! But the commander of the whole army cannot die in such a lame trap! Go back, dear lady! Rectify the morale of the follow-up troops, and then come to my back! Maybe by the time you arrive, I'll have built a passage for the army, just as old Rondo had always done! ”
Miss Mermaid finally recovered from her frenzy, and was about to grit her teeth and nod her head, when a long wall of fire suddenly rose from the junction of the beach and the greenery. The more than 1,000 shark and whale troops who had already rushed across the beach, plus a large number of Argonian and Naga officers, and finally the overly brave mermaid girl commander, were all disconnected from the follow-up army......
Twelve high-ranking succubi swept through the sky with their fleshy wings, giving a sarcastic sneer. They have obviously completed the spell casting, and at this time, they are clearly deliberately here to mock it, which is also a bad taste that belongs to the chaotic side of the demon.
At the same time, at this time, the sound of dense hooves came from behind the demon's military formation. In the sequence of the demon army, the demons, who ranked among the best in terms of organization, separated their military formations and flowed out of the channel of the charge. The Abyssal Knights riding Nightmare Beasts let out a screech and pounced on the Sea Clan formation, which had begun to disarray.
This is the so-called division and encirclement, gathering and annihilating one. It's a very simple tactic, but it's always the right tactic. (To be continued.) )
