Chapter 32 Pre-War Preparations
A few days in a row.
Revorno, who had wandered all over the country, rushed back to the base camp and assembled.
The core members of the Revorno clan worked out a detailed battle plan with the guardian team led by Jue.
The battle is divided into three phases, the interference phase, the breakout phase, and the reserve defense phase, which are conducted by different captains, and the commander-in-chief is Patriarch Zack.
As the breakout vanguard, the Guardian Team leads the entire clan to penetrate the enemy line when the first two phases are well underway, and strikes each unit that breaks the enemy with precision.
The reserve defense part is to prevent the battlefield situation from losing, to provide necessary cover for the retreating troops, and it is also a backup force, but also to ensure the smooth retreat of the teammates.
Fortunately, everyone's consciousness is very high, and the ten-person team required for this part will be filled quickly.
Everything was deployed very smoothly, and in the face of the special equipment of the demon clan, a batch of high-quality armor was also created according to the chain mail designed by Han Qingluo.
In order to occupy the priority position, the large force marched a week in advance to the selected island battlefield.
Riding on a horse again, wearing a protective chain mail and a sharp knife at her waist, Han Qingluo was worried and excited in her heart, after such a long time, she stepped on the road to the battlefield again, she felt as if she had returned to the bitter days of licking blood on the tip of the knife again.
Seeing that her mind was dull, Jue deliberately slowed down and silently walked slowly side by side with Han Qingluo, enjoying this short moment of relaxation, because soon after, they would be greeted by a fierce battle that was unknown whether to win or lose, and there was no room for a moment of relaxation.
As the advance force, their guardian team rode to the island first, accompanied by Zack and Edward of Revorno, and core members such as Malor, Eli, and Marr led the large army to follow at a steady speed.
Because it was daytime and the sun was on the head, the movement of the blood clan was somewhat limited, and the mental strength was not as strong as at night, so everyone slowed down and walked slowly on the dirt road.
As the weakest vampire, Kim is tightly wrapped all over his body, hiding all his skin in a wide robe, and in order not to slow down the progress of the whole team, he chooses to follow alone in the difficult forest.
Far away, Edward saw a lonely figure of Jin in the woods on one side, his eyes moved, he turned his horse's head, and walked towards the woods.
To be honest, he was quite curious that there would be such a weak bloodline in the team, and his usefulness in the team never seemed to be shown.
Wielding a knife to cut off the branches and vines that blocked the way, Jin carefully threw the broken branch aside, and was about to cut off the next one, when a knife took a step ahead of him and cut off the long branch that blocked the way.
Looking at the situation, he immediately met Edward's polite and sincere smile, Jin gratefully lifted the brim of his hat and cast a grateful look at Edward, and the two silently cut down the vines blocking the way.
With Edward's help, a passage was quickly cleared, and they put away their knives and returned to their horses together.
"It's a tough road, isn't it?"
Riding the horse and setting off, Jin spoke leisurely, and there was no complaint in his tone, but full of ridicule.
Edward laughed loudly: "Yes, it's quite shady here, the sun has made me a little tired, and I have found a treasure road now!" ”
Although Edward said this verbally, in fact, Jin understood his intentions very well, perhaps because he was polite to him before, so today he saw that he was alone, and felt pity.
With Edward's joining and help, Kim's journey is not so boring and difficult.
Soon after, the bored Servi also followed into the woods, and the two-person line instantly became a threesome, and Kim was no longer alone on the road, but fell into another kind of embarrassment.
The first night of departure was calm.
In order not to delay everyone's speed, the special object Han Qingluo naturally spent the first night under Jue's care, and continued to ride alone during the day, following the troops.
Late the next night, after Han Qingluo fell asleep, Zach rode his horse and leaned towards Jue.
On the autumn night approaching winter, every wisp of wind carried a stinging cold, Jue protected Han Qingluo in his arms, and covered her entire body with a wide cloak, preventing a trace of wind from penetrating and disturbing her sweet dreams.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Jue naturally turned his head and said hello slightly, without saying a word, for fear of waking up the person in his arms.
When Zack saw it, he was naturally envious in his heart, but in front of Jue, he hid his emotions well and still maintained normal emotions.
Although it has not yet reached the level of really imagining that Han Qingluo has to lie in his arms like this, their intimacy is naturally what Zack expects, just like now, walking side by side with Jue, he can be regarded as a little satisfied.
The quiet night, only the sound of horses' hooves slowly trampling, the night is not clean, shrouded by layers of thin clouds, hazy moonlight, only a dim earth between the earth, but this is not a problem for the blood clan with strong night vision.
Fortunately, there were no wild beasts on the road, and in the past two days and two nights, the advance force had already covered most of the distance.
"Is there something wrong with Patriarch Zack?"
Silently walked in for a while, Jue asked out loud, and the volume was controlled very low.
At this moment when it was so quiet that the pin could be heard, Jue asked abruptly, which made Zach a little unable to react, and the hands holding the reins unconsciously exerted a little more force.
He pursed his lips, shrugged his throat, cleared his throat that he hadn't moved for a long time, adjusted his state, and replied in a voice as big as Jue's volume: "It's fine, but there are a few worries in my heart that have always bothered me." ”
Looking away from Zach and looking straight ahead, Jue's upright body remained still, and his thin lips opened lightly: "You might as well talk about it, maybe I can help you solve your doubts." ”
The original apprehension in his heart fell like a boulder in an instant after receiving Jue's affirmation, and his mood was relaxed, and Zack's tense body due to nervousness also relaxed.
"There are about two days and two nights left, and we are about to arrive on the island, but I always feel uneasy, we can all think of occupying the terrain in advance, I am afraid that the demons will also fight this kind of attention, and when the time comes, I will be ......ambushed."
Zach stopped talking, but didn't finish his sentence.
The corners of Jue's lips hooked: "Patriarch Zack, rest assured, when the declaration of war arrived in the hands of the demons, two or three days have passed, not to mention that there are a large number of them, and if they want to march on a large scale, they can only take advantage of the night to set off, coupled with the geographical location, compared to the two sides, our side has an advantage, can arrive at the island in advance, and have plenty of time to deploy the ambush point." ”
Hearing this, Zack's worries about this part were gone: "Lord Jue is really smart, and I am really lucky to have a strong man like you as an ally!" ”
Zack's blunt polite flattery made it hard for Jue to believe that this was still the cunning and resourceful Revorno when he first met, but now he is humble and peaceful, and his bearing has changed a lot, and he is completely a good patriarch who lives peacefully with his allies.
The current state is completely different from Han Qingluo's speculation that he has special habits, and he thinks that maybe she is really suspicious, a guy like Zach has some admiration for him at most, and if it is deeper, the probability of existence is very small.
"Does Patriarch Zack have any other concerns?"
Jue quickly cleared the thoughts in his mind and asked again.
Zack shook his head when he heard this, showed the most sincere smile, and said: "At present, on this issue, other questions are not enough to worry about, and I don't dare to disturb Lord Jue again, thank you!" After saying that, he rode his horse forward without stopping for a moment.
Jue was even more convinced that Han Qingluo's guess was just a woman's unreliable sixth sense, so he no longer took this matter to heart, and relaxed his mind to treat the honest relationship with Zach positively.
On the evening of the fourth day of their journey, they finally reached the coastline near the island, built a wooden boat from local materials, and arrived on the island by boat on the evening of the fifth day.
The island is large, with dense forests, huge rocky mountains everywhere, and the top of the island can clearly overlook the entire wide beach, which can be detected as soon as the enemy lands, and is a natural sentry post.
The next day, a large army arrived, and the trees near the coastline were cut down to make wooden boats for crossing the sea.
On the third day, hundreds of Revorno's members arrived on the island and occupied a vantage point on the entire island, waiting for the demons to appear and defeat them in one fell swoop.
The time and place were on their side, and in this battle, the whole Revornor clan was confident, and in order to prevent accidents, they docked all their ships under the cliffs on the south side of the island to hide.
To the north is the logged beach, from which the demons can only go ashore, and everything seems to be moving in Revorno's favor.
——
On the demon side, as Jue said, they received the declaration of war and had already left Revorno's departure island, and after two or three days, their progress was far less fast than Revorno's.
Recently, they are also preparing for a big war.
On the night of the conflict with Jue, the demon clan lost one-third of the demon guards, so the Holy King Stark summoned the only nine of the thirteen holy envoys to hold a council.
Sending the second holy envoy to the nearest force point to dispatch more demon guard reinforcements, this alone took a week, in the blink of an eye, there are still three days before the agreed time, and the demon side is still unmoved, and has not yet set off from the temporary stronghold.
At this time, the Holy King Stark and the Great Holy Envoy were leading a small group of demon guards towards a primeval forest in the south, where the Third Holy Envoy and the Fourth Holy Envoy were waiting for them.
Standing in front of the huge cavern, the layers of white bones made Stark's face full of excitement, and his long-awaited secret weapon could finally test its power at this moment.
The Three Holy Envoys received the order of the Great Holy Envoy Lane, and immediately ordered the stationed subordinates to drag a pile of dead deer that had already been prepared from the camp stationed in the distance and place them at the mouth of the cave.
The smell of fishy decay soon permeated the entrance of the cave, luring the mysterious creatures inside.
In an instant, the dense and compact sound of "clicking" broken bones sounded one after another, and in the dark cave, affected by mysterious creatures, there was a lot of movement.
Outside the cave, Stark, who was protected by the demon guards, could not hide his excitement, pushed aside the demon guards in front of him, and slowly leaned up, the Great Sage Envoy wanted to stop the dangerous move of the Holy King, but he refused with a non-obstinate raise of his hand.
The surrounding demon guards did not dare to breathe, staring directly at the mouth of the cave, even if the three and four holy envoys who managed the secret weapons here were already familiar with them, they were very afraid of the horror of the weapons, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
