"Sivi, look at that Naga Siren over the city wall!"

Because of the headwind, Sivi almost didn't hear Noor's words behind him.

Looking in the direction the other party said, you can vaguely see a Naga Siren jumping and roaring.

If you look closely, you can see that the other person is holding a strange lump that resembles a compressed biscuit.

"That's ...... Sea monster bait? Sivi muttered uncertainly.

The sea monster bait is specially imitated by humans after studying the feed used by the Naga Siren to feed those sea monsters, and it is used to cause chaos among sea monsters in war, and it can also be used to trap and kill some lone sea monsters.

It's just that this kind of thing uses a lot of materials in the deep sea, and for humans now, the deep sea is undoubtedly a forbidden area, so the number is very rare.

I just didn't expect to see it here.

"Why are there sea monsters eating bait here?" The girl's shout was left far behind the green dragon the moment she exited, but the question she asked was also Sivi's.

Why does the Naga Siren have a kraken bait? As deep sea dwellers, they don't have the craft to suppress bait, and the feed they feed the sea monsters is nothing more than piles of wet and slimy stuff.

Especially after attacking the land, they will not feed the sea monsters, in order to maintain the morale of the sea monsters, and at the same time, let the hunger drive the sea monsters to prey on humans......

If it weren't for the fact that the army holding this bait had been routed, then the reason why the Naga Siren would have bait is worth thinking about Sivi.

"Sivi, a spit-type sea monster has appeared!"

This time. The girl's exclamation brought him back to his senses, and he quickly rewound the crossbow bolts and reloaded them.

"The Dragon Slayer has been destroyed, and we can't do anything about those big guys now." Sivi said in a deep voice. The howling wind would bring his voice to the ears of the girl behind him, so there was no need to roar as loudly as the girl.

The Dragon Crossbow is a large crossbow bolt that most human stations will be equipped with, and it is extremely powerful, not to mention ordinary sea monsters, and even sea dragons can shoot them.

It's just that this time the enemy appeared too suddenly, and the dragon crossbow was completely destroyed before it even had time to reload.

But that's fine, because 'Destroy the Dragon Slayer.' Don't let it fall into the hands of the Naga Siren' is also one of the guidelines that every dragoon must follow. If your side is losing and retreating. The person in charge of archery is not allowed to retreat without destroying the dragon crossbow. When the shooter is killed, the other soldiers have this responsibility, and if they don't want to go to court-martial, they have to risk their lives to do it.

Just as he was talking with two yells. A laser-like arrow of water burst out from below. I didn't have time to see that it was the sea monster that spewed out. There were already dragoons shot down, wailing and falling, and the two knights naturally fell into meat sauce. And the dying wyvern was also dismantled into parts by several sea monsters in the blink of an eye and swallowed into its belly......

After ordering the fireball to ignite the stack of firewood hidden outside the city, and avoiding a few streams of water arrows, Sivi and Nuoer beckoned the fireball to retreat.

In addition to him, several wyverns who had not yet run out of fire oil in their stomachs also lit the stacks of firewood. Soon the fire grew under the influence of the monsoon, turning into a wall of fire that prevented the Naga Sirens from taking advantage of the momentum.

The location of the next line of defense of mankind is a small seaside town.

After sending the dragon into the dragon shed and telling Norr to calm the fireball, Sivi talked to the other survivors and made sure they had seen some Naga Sirens with sea monster bait, and then immediately set off for his chief.

"Sir Sergeyle."

After respectfully saluting the commander who was handling the text on the writing desk, Xiwei walked into the room.

"It's Corporal Sivi, I think you're stationed in the Vettel line. Is there anything you want to do here? ”

All dragoons come out of the military training camp and are able to obtain the rank of corporal in the Air Force as soon as they enlist, which can be regarded as special care for them. It's a pity that this military rank has no practical meaning other than the name, and even the military salary is not much more than that of a first-class soldier in the army......

I don't know if it's an illusion, Sivi always felt that Segail didn't dare to look at him.

So he simply did not mention the fall of the line of defense—the other side would receive a report soon—and asked about the one thing he was most concerned about.

"Has any of the Townskeepers fallen?" The sea monster bait is only available in the town guard mansion, and even if he wants to use the kind of defense line he held on to before, he has to transfer it from the town guard mansion first.

"No, there is no such thing." Sergeil shook his head in denial.

"Then excuse me, why did I see a Naga Siren with a sea monster bait on his hands?" Knowing the information he wanted to know, Xiwei naturally looked at the dagger: "Can you tell me, what did the command do?" ”

Sergeil finally stopped the quill in his hand.

He knew very well that since Sivi would ask like that, he must have some vague conjectures, and instead of letting him spread strange speculations among the dragoons, it would be better for his side to issue a gag order after satisfying his curiosity.

"For the rest of my words, please take it as my own talk."

"The subordinate should take the order." Sivi nodded. Since the other party said so, it means that this matter should not have been known to him, the corporal, but if the commander wants to sue him, he will definitely not be uninteresting.

"Some time ago, a search party discovered a small island about 300 miles from the coastline after paying the price of almost total annihilation. According to survivors, the Naga Siren built a city-like camp on the island. Almost all land attacks were launched by that camp as a staging post...... If there is no camp, the other party will have less resting ground, and the strength will definitely be greatly reduced. ”

Segail clasped his hands together, propped them on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "So the high command ordered to organize death squads to attack there...... But there will definitely be strong defenses set up there, and in order to weaken the opponent's defenses, it is natural to have a bait of sufficient weight to transfer their troops. ”

“…… So, the Vettel line became the bait? Xiwei took a deep breath and barely held back his feelings.

"It's hard to know the choice of bait for my grade." Segail sighed, with an apologetic look on his face: "Plus this information can't be disclosed before the operation is implemented, so I can't let you prepare, I'm really sorry." ”

"But if we had given us notice, we wouldn't have suffered as much loss as we do now!" In the end, Xiwei couldn't help but shout: "Nearly seventy percent of the robes are dead!" Because the enemy came so suddenly, I couldn't react at all! If you had noticed, we could have reduced the casualties by at least 30%! Not only that, but you can also teach those guys a hard lesson! ”

"But then there's no guarantee that the Naga Siren will stay on the decoy...... Maybe the other party will find out that you didn't have the chaos you should have after contact and retreat. In this way, the most important sneak attack will fail. ”

Segail looked at the excited Sivi and said calmly: "At least that's what the command said. ”

"Damn! Then let those bastards do the bait themselves! The Human Command, ha, isn't it the best bait! ”

Sivi spread out his hands and said with a sarcastic expression on his face.

At this moment, a herald walked in from outside the door, bowed to Sergail, put the report in his hand on the table, looked strangely the same, and then left the room quickly.

Sergeil checked the envelope of the report, and after confirming that it was in good condition, he opened the wax seal, took out the body from the inside, and looked through it a few times, and his face became even worse.

"What's the bad news, sir?" When the other party looked through the report, Sivi also calmed down a little: "News of the fall of Vettel's defense? ”

"A hundred times worse than that."

Segail threw the report in his hand to the side, and looked miserable: "The sneak attack failed." All the good men selected by the command died there, and only one of them released a messenger gull before he died. ”

“……”

Sivi was silent. was used as bait on his side, and he suffered countless casualties, but in the end he fell short...... This gives people a sense of sadness that all their comrades-in-arms have died in vain.

"But that's not the point......" However, as if he felt that the intelligence was not bad enough, Segail's face turned pale, and he already looked like a dead man: "The worst thing is that all the dragoons who escaped the Vettel line must participate in the next sneak attack. ”

"What a joke!" Xiwei was so surprised that he forgot to be angry: "How dare those bastards in the command department give such an order!" ”

"Ahem, please respect the supreme leadership of the human race a little in front of the chief." Sergeil coughed dryly and reminded: "'Because a wave of sneak attacks has just been resolved, when you are complacent, it must be the time when the defense is the most lax, and the sneak attack at this time will definitely be able to make a contribution', it seems that the people in the command think so. ”

"This is to send us to death......" Sivi said indignantly, and then realized why the High Command had done so.

No one likes to be counted to death by themselves and still alive in this world. This makes them worried about their own safety, but they are also afraid that their use of their compatriots as bait will leak out, which will definitely make the military unstable, and even mutiny.

According to the calculations of the group of people in the High Command, all of Vettel's garrison should have died there. Only the dead are the safest and most reliable.

Since you didn't calculate it once, you might as well calculate it again.

It is probably for this reason that those of them who escaped death will be sent to a desperate situation for the second time. (To be continued......)
