Chapter 126: Omission
readx;?“ The mournful shout of the enemy ...... pierced the silence under the scorching sun, and for a moment the mournful shout overpowered the noisy cicadas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the patrol's warning voice had just appeared, and it stopped abruptly as if it had never been there.
Puton, who was lying in ambush on the side, glared at the soldier beside him who had just shot an arrow due to a shaky hand, and made a gesture of slow progress. The soldier shrunk his neck, but fortunately the captain made up an arrow in time and did not let the patrol soldier send out the warning signal, otherwise he would not have enough ten lives to atone for his crime this time.
The dozen or so patrol soldiers who were hit by the arrows were all smoking from their wounds and smelling of burning, apparently the group of patrols on the opposite side had been infected by vampires. After touching the opponent's vigilance, as Puton made an offensive gesture, a bunch of silver-armored shield warriors rushed towards the stronghold like a silver tide, although there was no human voice during the march, but the sound of the armor gaps rubbing against each other could be heard at a glance.
The inside of the stronghold is empty, only a hole in the middle that leads to a diagonal downward direction, exuding the smell of rot, this is the place where the three or four hundred vampire warriors of the stronghold hide from the sun, the vampires abandoned the sun, and can only live in dark corners all day long, tempted by blood all day long, but such a huge effort, the ensuing rewards are not negligible, eternal life, stronger physique, faster recovery, and so on.
When he went out to fight, Wei Xu didn't talk about how to deal with the vampire cave, and the more stable Puton first sent a team of scouts to investigate, and waited until there was an echo before leading the team into the cave slowly. The passage at the entrance is only enough for two people to walk in parallel, and the slope is not very sharp, but fortunately, after leaving the passage, the terrain suddenly opens up, and the torches around the underground fortress shine brightly......
At the edge of the forest, Wei Xu found a shade outside the tent, and lay on it on his back after laying out the linen cloth, enjoying the summer breeze. Regarding this raid on the stronghold, he did not think at all that it would fail, even if it failed, Kod, who led the cavalry on the side, would also be able to block the enemy well and receive his own men.
"But...... I always feel that something is wrong......" Wei Xu looked at the leisurely clouds in the sky, and his heart was still a little unsteady. "Robben, tell me about the operational deployment again."
"Oh, okay boss. Your order is for Puton Wilcas to lead a squad and attack at noon today, ending the battle within an hour. Robben stood aside and honestly recounted Wei Xu's battle arrangement, this was the third time today, and he was very skeptical that Wei Xu was forgetful.
"Hmm...... Yes, attacking at noon and facing the sun is the best weakening for vampires...... The troops, armed with silver weapons, wanted to cut down the bloodsucking mongrels like chopping melons and vegetables. Wei Xu muttered to himself, as if to strengthen his confidence, and then narrowed his eyes again and entered a half-asleep state.
"By the way, Boss, did you say that the vampires we encounter will be invisible, like the last time we met them in the Bloody Lair?" Robben asked suddenly.
"How can you be, vampires who can be invisible are at least a veteran, how can ordinary vampire soldiers be invisible...... Wait a minute! Lair!!! Wei Xu was halfway through his explanation, and suddenly exclaimed, he finally thought of what he had missed!
Wei Xu's biggest omission is that he ignores the habits of his opponents, they are vampires! Although in the past, those warriors still had to defend the stronghold, who will guard the stronghold after becoming a vampire?! At noon, a patrol team can be sent to the sky! Ten of them, they will dig a nest in the stronghold to hide from the sun!!
"In that case......" Wei Xu suddenly changed from lying down to sitting, startling Robben next to him.
"In this case, Puton and Wilcas will definitely want to kill them all when they receive the order, and they will definitely bring troops into the vampire lair when they see it!" Wei Xu really wanted to slap himself, blaming himself for not thinking about it, if he stuffed these hundreds of people into the cave, how could he beat the vampire? The underground is people's home field! It's not the midday sun, it's not in an open place, the battle array can't be opened, and the crowd and the advantage of noon are gone in a blink of an eye. With the average physique gap, these soldiers are no match for vampires even with silver swords!
A scream broke the silence of the entire camp, and when he looked up, a dazzling light rose into the air, which was the sign of an emergency assembly set by Wei Xu. After a while, five hundred soldiers dressed in standard light armor and equipment and unassigned weapons had gathered outside the camp, these were the logistics troops in charge of food and grass materials, and they were not counted in the regular establishment of Half Moon Town.
"My lord, what's going on?" Cod also rushed over at this time and asked for some reason.
"The plan has changed, our camp is going to be pushed into the forest, Cod, you take fifty shield armor soldiers to escort supplies, and the remaining fifty scouts and one hundred and fifty heavy cavalry I and Robben will bring to support them." Waving his hand and sending away the two scouts who were delivering the letter, they quickly told Wilcas and Puton not to enter the hole, and then Wei Xu turned to Codd and said. "We set up camp in the southwest stronghold in the Forest of Phocles, and abandoned the northeastern stronghold"
"Yes, sir." Ced bowed down to receive the order, and when he got up again, he had lost the figures of Wei Xu and Robben in front of him, and only saw the dust raised by the cavalry and scouts in the distance......
"Bang!" Wilcas's shield knocked the vampire in front of him to the side, and the silver sword in his hand pierced through his abdomen mercilessly, the tip of the sword peeking through the vampire's back.
Although he didn't want to admit that his team was really no match for this group of vampires, after going down the cave, he decided to divide his troops, and a team of fifty people began to search the cave. The team he was in has now encountered five waves of vampires, each wave has more than twenty people, the first time was fine, the second encounter began to have casualties in his team, and now there are only more than thirty people left alive, this is still their own situation.
Wilkas, who was cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, suddenly felt a palpitation for no apparent reason, as if there was some great danger ahead.
"All assembled! Retreat! Wilcas snorted, and then led the way in the direction it was heading from, firmly convinced of its hunch......
Another cave*** Puton was still at the entrance of the cave, listening to the scout report that came back, and couldn't help frowning. Only three of the eight groups of scouts returned, and all three of them were still probed to a dead end, and they were already exposed. The scout Puton who he cultivated himself knows it, and if he can't beat and run, few will catch up, if this kind of situation is completely wiped out......
"Retreat! Set a trap and ambush outside the cave! Purton made a quick decision, and after giving the order, he led the team directly along the cave......
