Chapter 841: Passive Situation
Even though there were [Wolves of the Eternal Night] to provide contact and assistance between different reconnaissance teams, they still couldn't prevent this sudden 'space trap'.
A total of nine reconnaissance teams have been swallowed by toads and their whereabouts are unknown.
The safe return of Han Dong, Abel and others also made many people, especially some of the wolves of the Beamon Knights, breathe a sigh of relief.
The Commander of the Great Demon Regiment immediately gathered the reconnaissance team together to gather information.
Knights who can be sent out to scout naturally have certain abilities...... Among them, there are four teams that encountered space traps and escaped successfully.
Therefore, Han Dong did not rush to report the information...... If there is any important information that is not mentioned, Han Dong will add it.
However, in the end, there was no need for Han Dong to add anything.
What needs to be said has been said.
Moreover, there is also a team of knights who have obtained information that Han Dong does not know.
It has been determined that in the wetland area, in addition to [Toad], [Fungus], and [Plant], there is also a fourth type of [Shadow] demon.
Several important pieces of information were also identified:
1. The area where the nest is suspected (i.e. the area covered by the "title deed")
2. Multiple perceptual suppression in wetland areas.
Han Dong also didn't speak the whole time, listening to all this silently.
"Sure enough, the knights who can be sent to investigate are very capable, and they don't need me to add anything...... When a salted fish is not noticed, it will be more convenient to move.
I wonder what the Great Demon Leader will do? If dozens of knights are caught, directly let the troops corresponding to the [World Rules] set off and search the suspected lair area, but they will fall for the other party's strategy.
What's the optimal solution?"
Han Dong lowered his head and smiled, waiting for the arrangement of the Great Demon Leader.
Who knows, the commander of the Great Demon Regiment did not say the emergency response means at all, but gave a sentence that the entire expeditionary force camp could hear:
"A medium-sized battle is about to break out, so prepare your knights for battle.
The upcoming campaign will not take the form of registration, and we will directly arrange [Raid Force] to attack at a fixed point. ”
Let's talk about it.
Swish!
A pair of exaggerated white fleshy wings grew from the back of the Grand Demon Leader, and flew straight out of the castle.
Also acting simultaneously were the two commanders of Death and Geralus, who had already prepared in each legion...... That's right, this is the simplest, crudest and most effective way to deal with it adopted by the Great Demon Leader.
In the event that the reconnaissance team receives the above information.
Directly dispatch the highest combat power of the expeditionary force to conduct a 'fixed-point' search for suspicious areas without violating the [World Rules].
The so-called non-violation of the rules means that the captains are not allowed to use any of the aliens in the title deed area...... Of course, the regimental commanders don't need to do it either.
All they have to do is conduct an in-depth investigation of suspicious locations to find out the [lair].
However, although it is simple and crude, it can find the lair and launch a surprise attack in a short time, and if you have the time to do so, you can rescue some of the missing Scout Knights...... But there are still significant risks.
The world under the eternal night is always unknown and passive to humans.
Suppose there is an Old King in this wetland.
It is highly likely that this will be the opportunity to launch an attack on a lone regimental commander, or a surprise attack on a weakened expeditionary force camp.
The ones that can minimize the threat of the old king are the "Grim Reaper" and "Marlon".
As long as one of the two of them exists...... A single low-ranking old king is not enough to threaten the extinction of the Order.
At the same time, the three regiment leaders who went out also acted collectively to avoid being caught.
Conduct a 'targeted search' for suspicious areas as quickly as possible, and withdraw to the camp as soon as they are discovered, lest the demons feel the powerful aura and lead the old king to descend through sacrifices.
"Being ambushed like this, the head of the Great Demon Regiment is really angry...... However, it is one of the best ways to do this.
Fortunately, this will not only test whether the old king is hidden in this area, but also speed up the outbreak of the battle...... Instead of a long whirlwind in the wetland.
However, such a cunning toad should also have a way to deal with it. ”
……
All three regiment commanders flew through the wetlands in the fastest flying attitude.
In less than 15 minutes, the fixed-point search yielded results.
A huge and tranquil lake comes into view - Lake Trasimeno
Archmage Commander Geralus prepares to activate a highest-level Scouting Spell that will force the Wetlands to cross the limits of perception in order to spy on the lake.
Grunt......
In the middle of the lake there was a burst of bubbles.
Giant toads that take up half the size of a lake slowly rise from between the waters.
Above the toad's head stood a humanoid being wrapped in a wet cloak, with massive herpes on the soles of its feet and ankles.
A distorted voice that mimicked human language came from the man's mouth:
"I am the messenger of Toad, Araki.
I won't say more useless words.
I have only one purpose in appearing, to sign a "battle book" with you humans that conforms to the rules...... According to our lord's intentions, we want to exchange the 'knight lost in the wetlands' for the additional regulations of the Battle Book.
If the three are unwilling, then please allow my lord to use these knights to entertain the guests in Toad. ”
If there were no rules, the Great Demon Leader really wanted to blow the emissary's head with one punch.
At present, I can only hold back my temper and accept the other party's proposal.
"Show me."
The envoy directly passed the tongue shot out of his mouth and handed the drawn up "Battle Book" to the Great Demon Commander.
The terms of the campaign book state that as long as the human side agrees to sign this battle book, they can immediately take away the 'knight lost in the wetlands', and ensure that they do not suffer any fatal damage.
However, the special treaties attached to the Book of Campaigns are a little excessive.
The following treaties have been added:
1. The campaign area will be chosen by the Alien Demons.
2. The "Strength Index" of the human side needs to count the [43] missing knights who have been captured.
"How? Actually, such regulations are not excessive, right? After all, the knights lost in the wetlands are also part of the battle.
Since you are guests, we are the hosts...... the place of the 'treat' is naturally chosen by us.
You can take this "Battle Book" back and discuss it before making a decision.
Just sign your name, and we will return the lost knight to your army safely.
Of course...... Don't delay too long, after all, these knights don't seem to be able to withstand the "pollution". It's okay to tell you secretly, some of the knights in the toad's body have hallucinated and vomited. ”
Let's talk about it.
The messenger sank to the bottom of the lake with the giant toad.
Holding the "Battle Book", the Great Demon Commander who fell into a passive situation has accumulated the arrogance in his body to a certain extent.
"Mean filthy ......"
