On the surface, it seems that the current group still occupies a certain advantage in Hongze Lake, and as long as they protect Lushan from falling, the situation on the entire battlefield will change again in five days. But only the aliens themselves know what has become of chaos within the alien territory now.

The complete outbreak of the economic depression and the arrival of winter panic caused the vast majority of soldiers and high races to begin to cringe, and the mood of snubbing spread throughout the territory. Coupled with the defeat of Honglingxian, many top races even began to sway, unwilling to support this war anymore.

Some of the top races even raised the banner of strategic shifting, calling for further retraction of the battle line, retreating into foreign territory, setting up defenses in the mountains, retreating layer by layer, and preserving strength. The aim is to survive this winter, and it is claimed that things will get better in the spring.

But in reality, it wasn't the spring that really made things better, but the sheer amount of food and supplies they had hoarded in the tribe. The purpose of these top races is nothing more than to ensure their own interests. They could not see the victory of the war, they only wanted to preserve their own strength, and called for retreat, in order to refuse the order of the Hong people to let them open warehouses and release grain to support the army and team, and they were loud and loud. you

Many of the top races smelled the conspiracy and joined the camp. Otherwise, this time the transfer of troops would not have taken five days so long, and the alien race did not have a teleportation array, and the average transfer of troops would take so long? It's not like someone is dragging their feet yet.

The top races are all cowardly, and the higher races are naturally close behind, and a large number of lower races are not enough food to survive the winter because they have no material support, and they are even unable to protect themselves, who is willing to go to the battlefield? And after going to the battlefield, the people in their own family still don't know what kind of plundering and oppression they will be subjected to.

There is nothing the Hong people can do about such a situation. Almost more than half of the top races and higher races have this attitude, what can they do? They can only unite all the races that can be united, gather as much food and supplies as possible, and recruit the strongest troops to support Rokuzan as much as possible.

Even so, it would take five days to send all the soldiers to Lushan, and even if they were to Lushan, with such a huge logistics, the Hong people still had not found a good solution. Of course, the Hong people themselves have no food, they are royal, and their natural law realm is very high, so they don't need to eat.

Today, the few races that can still support the war are also very distressed. It's not that I'm worried about food and troops, but I'm worried about my allies. In the first battle of Rokuyama, the outcome is unpredictable, and if it really wins, the problem will be solved.

If they lose, they really have to shift their strategy and build a defensive line between the mountains in the eastern region, and these races don't know what kind of excuse they have to make. And most of the races that support the war now are the races of the ancestral land in the eastern region, and once the battlefield is lost, they will bear the brunt of it.

Who wouldn't want to hide behind and enjoy it?

They all know that this is how interracial warfare is. But five days later, how should they fight? There is no backing for the dead, there is no chance of winning when rushing out, and you don't have to think about it to know that the empire has prepared a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for them to go out to the opponent's home court to fight.

The Seventeenth Elder looked at the heavy snow falling on the sky and sighed heavily: "Has the cordon around Rokushan been raised?" ”

Jia Yi said: "Everything is ready, the surrounding area of Mt. Roku, and the peaks on both sides, all the routes that can be passed have been guarded, and all of them are Iwayin clans. Once the Empire's scout squads appear, it's unlikely they'll survive their sneak attack! ”

Chapter Seventeen Boss nodded, and looked at the endless snow curtain in the east again.

"Shoot carefully, silencer! Watch out for avalanches! Cheng Yongwu said, and Zhang Changgong immediately took two people to the side and walked around to the side, pulling the battle line apart. Previously, because of the line of sight, the distance of the squad was not large, which was very conducive to the opponent's sneak attack, and only by pulling the battle line could the power of the gun be brought into full play.

The muzzle of the gun is equipped with a muffler, and even as a scout and sniper, in addition to a laser sniper gun, Zhang Longbow's hand is equipped with the latest electromagnetic firearm of the empire.

The bullets quickly cut through the wind and snow, and the ice picks and ropes they had pulled out had been hastily thrown behind the rocks, and they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of aliens. There are no dense woods here, but there are rocks that are vertical and horizontal, but the images that appear in the heat induction make everyone overwhelmed.

These thermal images are hidden inside the rocks.

Yes, not in front of the rocks, nor behind the rocks. If it appears in front of a rock, the night vision device should be able to capture a weak dynamic image that matches the thermal image, and if it appears behind the rock, the heat signature should be even weaker.

However, these heat signatures seem to be traveling through the rocks. Everyone's data analysis quickly came to a conclusion - the Rock Hidden Clan!

The rock hermit is a very strange race, they are good at the laws of the soil system, but they are very biased, and in the laws of the soil system, they are more focused on the penetration and utilization of minerals. Strictly speaking, many minerals are not actually counted in the laws of the soil system, at least not all.

But for the Yanyin clan, there is no such boundary at all. They can freely navigate any rocky formation, and of course they will not be unable to move an inch when they enter the ground, but they will only affect their speed. But this makes them the best assassins for mountain stealth warfare.

Walking through the rocks, it can even withstand most bullets, and if it weren't for the powerful front and destruction weapons, it would be impossible to instantly penetrate the surface of the rock and hit the rock hermits inside. They just need to keep attacking and trapping humans within a certain range before they can play with the prey inside the cage.

In addition, their shells are abnormally hard, even if they are accidentally shot, they will not be greatly affected, and they are extremely fast and elusive in rocks. When it appears, it is often a sudden attack, with a tidal insect-like body poking its head out of the rock, and its front paws are large enough to penetrate more than a centimeter of steel plate.

Especially in an environment like this, there is nothing else around them, except for rocks, which will inevitably cause avalanches if they use explosives, and guns cannot easily penetrate rocks. Cheng Yongwu suddenly felt a toothache, and secretly said that he was unlucky.

"Sniper out! Get ready for remote support! ”

Zhang Longbow nodded, and quickly separated from the battle circle with Feng Xing. Fortunately, they had only just left the confines of the plum groves, and it was very easy to get out of the rocky area. Luo Yunpu, a communications soldier, followed them out of the battle, and Cheng Yongwu and them scattered, attracting the attention of the Yanyin clan.

"Relay the news of the discovery of the Rock Yin Clan, other teams may not be faster than us, if we can find out in advance, we can snipe these guys in the air!" Zhang Changgong instructed Luo Yunpu to find a piece of ground covered by soft pine needles and lie down, and replaced it with a laser sniper gun.

Feng Xing took a deep breath and said, "You are in charge of the left, and I am in charge of the right." ”

"Good!"

Seeing such a tacit cooperation between the two people, a trace of admiration and envy flashed in Luo Yunpu's eyes, and he quickly sent the situation to the General Staff of the Western Region, and then took out a pistol to alert. In the wind and snow, the Yanyin clan may not find that there are two people missing from the team, but if they really find Zhang Longbow and Feng Xing chasing after them, Luo Yunpu will be the first guard at that time.

He stared nervously at the underneath the ground, using thermal imaging to observe the movements beneath the ground. According to the information, the speed of the Rock Yin Clan in the rocks is generally four times that of the land, and according to their current speed, even if they are close to this side, the speed of appearance should be within his reaction range.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting their physical condition to the best, all three of them fell into focus mode.

The blue-white laser passed through the snow curtain, and due to the influence of heavy snow, the laser even fell apart after passing through the snow curtain, and the diameter was expanded by about one-third, which is the disadvantage of laser weapons. In weather such as rain, snow, fog, and sandstorms, the cohesion of light is always affected.

But even so, the laser pierced through the rock steadily, leaving a magma hole in the rock, and gray blood gushed out of it, and a huge corpse like a tide worm fell out of the rock, the hole right above its head, in the middle of two gray eyes.

Good marksmanship! Luo Yunpu was shocked by Zhang Longbow's marksmanship.

Then another flash of lightning flashed, and another corpse fell from the rock, the wound even in the same position as the previous one. This shot is on the left, and it is a masterpiece of Wind Awakening. Luo Yunpu put away his shock and became even more nervous. He knew that when these two shots came out, the Rock Yin Clan would definitely find out where they were and what they did.

He tightened his grip on the pistol, which was also a laser weapon that could penetrate the ground, but he was not very confident in his marksmanship. He is similar to Dong Xiaoguan, he is a technical soldier, although his cultivation talent is better than Dong Xiaoguan, but his marksmanship is not added by his cultivation talent.

Sure enough, after Zhang Longbow fired the second shot, while Feng Xing was preparing to snipe, Luo Yunpu found that two thermal images suddenly disappeared in the distance, and they quickly disappeared into the sensing range of thermal imaging when they went underground, and he knew that his mission was coming.

Zhang Changgong said jokingly: "Our stomach will be handed over to you." ”

Luo Yunpu didn't feel funny at all, and suddenly shot at the ground, and after firing three shots in a row, a corpse was repelled from the ground with scorched green smoke. Without the support of the Law of Connection, these things will suddenly appear in the closest position to the air wall, just like a flying character wandering away from the edge of the game.

However, at the time of these three shots, another Rock Yin Clan had suddenly appeared under Zhang Longbow's body, and the whole thing was hidden under Zhang Longbow's body. Luo Yunpu hurriedly warned: "Deputy captain, just below!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Longbow slammed into the ground, and just like that, he pushed himself up straight from the ground, and then, a rock hermit suddenly came out from under the ground, and its huge chelicerae and hard belly rushed up almost against Zhang Longbow's nose.

Luo Yunpu hurriedly raised his pistol, and a shot hit the chela foot of the Yanyin clan that was about to shoot, and then took a step back with a longbow, raised the sniper gun in his hand, and hit the head of the Yanyin clan. The Yan Yin clan twitched twice, and was trampled on the ground by Zhang Changgong, completely silent.

Then, Zhang Longbow lay directly on the rounded shell of the Yanyin Clan, and re-made a sniper stance. He smiled and said to Feng Xing: "This one is mine!" ”

Feng Xing fired a shot, killed another Yanyin clan, and said, "At most, half of you are counted, and the other half is Luo Yunpu's." ”

Luo Yunpu didn't feel relaxed at all when he heard that they still had time to joke. At this moment, his inner lining was already covered with sweat, and the high-tech nano processing couldn't keep up with the speed of cold sweat. Immediately afterward, he did the same, dragging the Rock Yin Clan he had killed earlier to the other side.

Feng Xing also lay on the corpse of the Iwain Clan, so that at least he didn't have to worry too much about the attack from directly below. Luo Yunpu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to guard the ground. With Feng Xing and Zhang Longbow's continuous attack, there were as many as twelve corpses of the Yanyin clan around.

The few remaining Rock Hidden Clans fled, completely disappearing their breath. Cheng Yongwu and the others temporarily retreated to the wooded area and wanted to rest for a while. Luo Yunpu also received feedback from the General Staff of the Western Regions, and the other teams really encountered the Yanyin Clan, and many of them successfully avoided it.

Zhang Longbow and his team were indeed the fastest progressing team, but they were not the first team to encounter the Rock Yin Clan. There were also two other teams, and when they left, they used large weapons of destruction in the canyon in the mountains, but they still lost more than half of their numbers.

Cheng Yongwu said: "Thanks to the fact that we have two snipers in the team, otherwise such an environment is ......"

Zhang Changgong said: "The General Staff should have calculated the situation of each squad, and even deduced the attack methods of many enemies. Since there is such an arrangement, it means that we should have a way to deal with this situation, and as for the other two teams, ......"

Everyone else was silent, and they all knew what Zhang Longbow meant.

Now that the above has calculated the possible situation, then it is reasonable that they can complete the task with the least amount of loss. It's not that the quality of those two teams is not high enough, and it's not that they are not blamed for their lack of ability. Zhang Changgong just said that from now on, they themselves should be more vigilant, otherwise the end will not be too good.

After regaining their strength, the ten men were ready to go up the mountain again, and some of them had already suffered minor injuries, but the task ahead was here. Luo Yunpu looked at the towering mountain peaks, and for the first time he was so afraid of rock climbing. Not because of the height, not because of the wind and snow, but because of the rock hermit.

Zhang Longbow picked up the rope and ice pick from the ground, and after checking that it was not damaged by the battle, he also nodded and hung the rope on his body: "It's useless to be afraid, and some things are also the more you can't avoid being afraid, because fear will make you panic and lose your mind, and reason is always our most advantageous weapon." ”

Luo Yunpu also skillfully fastened the safety buckle on his waist, and couldn't help asking, "If we meet the Yanyin Clan again on the mountain, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? Hit, of course! Zhang Changgong said: "When you encounter a foreign race, you are fighting, just like when a foreign race encounters us, we will not hesitate to shoot." The greatest advantage of the alien race over us is never the strength of the individual, but once the battle begins, they will be fearless and indomitable, and if we can do the same, we will be able to defeat the alien. Even if we are in a bitter battle, we will be the only one left to complete our mission, understand? ”

Luo Yunpu's eyes gradually became firm, nodded, turned on the micro energy furnace switch of the ice pick, and looked upwards again, his eyes were still full of fear, but he already understood what he was going to do.

This set of ice picks of the Imperial Army is the top of the technology, dealing with rocks, ice rocks, heavy ice, and traps of ice picks are hung on different ropes. Each ice pick has a miniature energy furnace that assists in drilling and heating, as well as for recycling.

Gently pressing the switch, the ice pick was placed on the rock, the front of the ice pick quickly rotated, and after inserting the rock, the expansion bolt was quickly opened, holding the ice pick firmly in the rock. There is also a surface heating structure on the ice surface of the ice to prevent the ice from breaking, and when the temperature drops, the low temperature at high altitude will directly freeze the ice pick, making it more solid.

When it is not needed, the ice pick will automatically detach from the rock and ice in the same way as a remote command, and the rope will automatically retract the ice pick. Two icicles hold the body in place, and the other icicles assist, so the climbing speed will be quite fast.

The whole climb was very quiet, and no one seemed to be going to talk to their comrades, only the necessary instructions were passed through the communicator to ensure that they were moving in the right direction and that everyone was not having any problems. In this way, ten people slowly rose slowly on the steep slope of the mountain.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, the Seventeenth Elder couldn't help frowning: "Found nearly a dozen human squads? What do you want to do in the direction of Rokuzan and go to the rear? Do they really think that with this small number of people they can cut off our rear links and supplies? There must be some conspiracy! ”

Jia Yi said, "No matter what conspiracy they have, as long as they can't break through our smoke, as long as it is five days later, what else can humans do?" ”

Elder Seventeen shook his head and said, "I always have a bad feeling, this matter is definitely not simple. Send out a squad and search for these human teams! Be sure to eradicate them! ”
