Chapter 89: Asymmetrical War
The southern part of Udvik Island is covered with heavy snow and the northern part is cloudy and rainy. The water on the island froze and froze, and the sudden change in weather caused by the cold has been going on for days.
The freezing rain poured down from the sky, shattering against Elleris's cold black helmet, flowing down the visor into the cracks of steel, seeping into the sackcloth shirt and sticking wet and bitterly cold.
Illeris took off his iron gloves and reached out into the rain with his sackcloth-gloved hand. The gloves were wet with rain in a moment, and the exposed fingers were as white as soaked corpses.
"General, it's too cold outside, let's go and bake a fire in the house." The adjutant behind him persuaded.
Elleris is a legendary warrior who does not fall ill in the rain. But the adjutant's strength was average, he only stood in the rain for a short time, and then he felt that the whole person was going to be frozen, and the thighs in the iron pants were so frozen that he almost lost consciousness. And the icy and rainy road under your feet, cold and slippery, iron boots had to be inserted with steel nails to walk on them. The sound of crushing ice when walking makes people feel cold from the inside of their bones.
"How long has it been since you've actually rained?" Elleris asked without looking back.
ββ¦β¦ It's been almost a hundred years. The adjutant said with a wry smile. He understands what Illerys means, but the truth is that truth, but it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. Not to mention these generations of recruits, even he is no longer able to adapt to real field marches and battles. "General, isn't it too fast to ask them exactly what is going on now? I guess those young people are almost at their limit, and something might happen next. β
"It's okay, I've given them a choiceβ" Elleris said with a nonchalant expression, leaving no room for error. "Adapt, or die."
*****
The war that broke out between Wild Hunt and Shen Yan has been going on for four weeks with Udvik Island as the battlefield.
Battles erupt on the top of mountains, in canyons, in abandoned villages, underground, everywhere on the island...... Shen Yan was as elusive as a ghost, he killed brutally, and then left in silence...... No one could catch his shadow.
Someone claimed to have killed him, but the next day he showed up as promised.
Today, hundreds of wild hunters have been left on the island forever......
When they dream back at midnight, the hunters can always hear people walking on the mountain road, and the soul prism in their pockets jingles. It's ironic that the wild hunt that was once part of the nightmare of folklore is now tormented by nightmares in turn.
The long hours of fighting have exhausted the Hunting Legion and their morale plummeted.
The fierce battle makes them realize that they are not as unstoppable as the legend says; The nightmare made them realize that they were not as brave as they imagined...... Even when the Wild Hunters had to set foot on the battlefield of Udvik Island, they painfully discovered that the Wild Hunt was famous for "the arrival of the hoarfrost, the wild hunt was full of wilds...... I can't adapt to the cold combat environment!
Everything seems so ridiculous and fake.
Shen Yan has many ways to really kill ghosts, afraid of positive energy, afraid of lightning, afraid of magic and poison against souls...... When faced with Shen Yan's ghost warriors, they were full of loopholes and looked extremely clumsy, and the casualties of Wild Hunt at his hands remained high.
When the elder group of Ayn El complained to Elleris about the unprecedented number of casualties, they didn't know that Elleris couldn't bear it anymore! Since the casualties can't be controlled, the ghost mode is targeted again, so simply ban the ghost mode and let him personally lead the team to really enter the wizarding world!
He said, "If it's already so clumsy, let's be clumsy!" Eliminate the garbage, and the rest is the elite soldiers! β
In stark contrast to the performance of the wild hunt, the lone enemy resembles a super soldier who can do anything!
He can hide under the ice to create a perfect ambush (super high constitution); He can hide in the ice mire and remain motionless until the patrol passes by (unconscious); In order to get rid of the pursuers, he was able to jump off the cliff (projected to time); He can also fight a small group of warriors with his sword for a whole day until he has killed all thirty of them (saving spells for projection)......
So much so that even the commander of the Wild Hunt, Elleris, one day lost his mouth and said, "If you catch up with even a tenth of him, you will become the best legion in history!" β
However, even after four weeks of fighting, Shen Yan is still a mystery to the Elerith Legion - is he a mage or a warrior? What is what he is best at and what is his flaw? Is he physically immune or not? How can you kill this person...... Countless problems plagued his legion.
There was even a time when Shen Yan rushed in front of Illerius with countless swords, preparing to carry out the decapitation tactic.
Fortunately, the strongest person in the Elleres Legion was Illerys, and after a few swords with Shen Yan, no one could help anyone, so they calmly separated...... At that moment, Shen Yan's cold eyes made an extremely deep impression on Illerys!
When Shen Yan chose Udwick Island as the battlefield, Elleres thought that he was a mortal enemy! The vast and empty island is more suitable for a wild hunt with sufficient troops to launch a siege, shouldn't Shen Yan, who is alone, choose which terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and cannot deploy troops to form an advantage?
But now he hated this "wide" island with complex terrain!
How can a man have so many places to hide?
Tunnel, tunnel, damn tunnel!
With such a big difference between the top and bottom (after being rocked), which hell designed this island?
Take a shortcut from here...... Ah, the Frost Giant again!
β¦β¦
In short, if Elleris were given a chance to choose the battlefield again, he would definitely choose a flat, barrier-free, underground, topped marble-floored square!
If he had to add restrictions, he hoped that it would be a 5X5 grid, ban the frost giant, and let Shen Yan stand in the middle!
*****
While Elleris was still enduring the bitter wind and rain on the island, freezing and bitter cold, waiting for Shen Yan to appear.
The real Shen Yan was lying in the warm tub of the Puerto Yuliara Hotel, reading a book and drinking cold wine.
Outside the window, the spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining, and it looks like another beautiful day.
So Shen Yan could sleep comfortably until he woke up naturally, took a bath, went downstairs to get a haircut, and then Shi Shiran went to the grilled fish shop to eat noodles - he taught the boss to make it, and he would get tired of eating fish - it was a beautiful day.
"Why do you look so idle today?" The boss sat in front of him with a large pot of noodles, eating and asking. Next to her, the spherical Demi picks up the slimy noodles in disgust, and has nowhere to put her mouth.
Shen Yan took out chili oil like a trick and poured two spoonfuls on the noodles, and a spicy aroma spread.
He stirred it with his chopsticks and replied naturally, "Upgrade today and rest for a day." β
