Volume 1 The Beginning of the White Capital Chapter 67 Closing the Net

As the remnants of the 'Red Spotted Ghost Spider' and 'Pollution Demon' troops were cleared out at an accelerated pace, the defenders on the city walls retreated to the rear construction area in a very orderly manner.

Fortunately, there was an interval of a few minutes, which was enough for all the troops to go to the garrison point while receiving the deployment instructions.

Several forest elves who were responsible for arranging the 'surprise' on the city wall also used the 'high-level concealment potion' to eliminate the aura and hid in the dark compartment of the wall after the arrangement was completed.

In an instant, the city walls, which had been fiercely fought a few minutes ago, suddenly fell silent.

All battle supplies were removed, and the 'Crystal Cannon' was locked in the wall, leaving only the flag representing the forest elves standing at the head of the city and swaying in the wind.

A flash of light.

Dozens of circles of bright blue circles suddenly appeared on the city wall, and the next moment, the 'Night Hunter' troops with a magical power deflection barrier came to the city wall.

One hundred and twenty people formed a squad in each circle, and a total of twelve circles filled the gap in the three-stage defense zone almost in an instant.

In the circle at the front of the middle, a thin fallen elf in a pitch-black robe with a purple fist stabbing in his hand turned his perception to the maximum the moment he came to the city wall, and it was puzzling that not a single forest elf had sensed it.

"It's... Retreated? ... It's true that this line of defense has been abandoned, but..."

The commander, who seemed to be the leader of this unit, had some confusion and surprise in his eyes.

After all, this is a critical obstacle, not to mention that it is very close to the base camp of the forest elves in this war zone, and there is no other line of defense on the way, even in the face of a strong enemy, according to past experience, the forest elves on this line of defense should also fight to the death, this time they will directly choose to abandon the city wall to evacuate, which is indeed extremely rare.

But doubts are doubts, their original task was to capture the defense line in front of them, and now that the mission has been completed, he doesn't need to think about other problems.

"The first and second teams searched the right side, and the third and fourth teams searched the left side, respectively to confirm whether there were traps at both ends of the city wall and whether all the forest elf troops had all evacuated the city wall."

"The three, four, five, and six teams radiate to the left side of the construction area below, and the seven, eight, ninety, and seventy teams radiate to the right side of the construction area below, pay attention to the ambush, don't rush in, and once you find the forest elf troops, you will immediately alert."

"The other two teams went with me to the Hub Room."

"Action."

Even if he had some doubts in his heart, but out of the confidence in his heart and the judgment of the combat power of the enemy and the enemy, the commander of the 'Night Hunter' unit did not care much about other issues, as long as he ruled out whether the forest elf troops had traps left.

At the sound of an order, all the 'Night Hunters' troops dispersed in an orderly manner to carry out their tasks.

The leader led the two teams down the stairs to the hub tower on the right rear of the city gate, which was the key place to control all the defending equipment and the opening and closing of the city gate on the entire section of the city wall, and must be confirmed first.

With a 'bang', the door of the hub tower was violently demolished, and the leader couldn't help but breathe when he saw the scene on the console in front of him.

On the huge console, all the control elements were covered and sealed by large patches of plants, and the connected energy lines were also removed one by one, although they could still be used after cleaning, but with their 'Black Abyss' technology, it would probably take more than a few days to repair it.

"It's so broken, it seems that you have really given up on this line of defense, but once this line of defense is lost, it is not right....."

Leaving the control room, the uncertainty in the leader's heart became bigger and bigger after pondering for a while, the loss of this line of defense is not a problem, but the initiative to evacuate is indeed not in line with the practice of the old rivals in the past.

After a while, the leaders who couldn't think of a reason received a reply message from the teams in each position, it had been confirmed that there were no defenders and traps on both sides of the city wall, and the four teams were withdrawing from the city wall to search downward, and several teams that were radiating and searching the construction areas on both sides also sent a message that no enemy troops had been found.

"Pass the order, immediately notify the rear of the situation and ask for support after the search is completed, don't send those low-level brainless wastes over, don't guarantee that the opposite side will suddenly counterattack later, and ask for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible."

"Yes."

.....

While the commanders at all levels were still arranging the concealment and garrisoning of each team, Chen Yuan quickly returned and informed his teammates of the current situation, and after a short discussion, Apollo and the other team members obeyed the arrangement and withdrew into the construction area, while Chen Yuan quietly ran to a building in the rear.

The tallest and most conspicuous of the building area is the control tower.

Of course, Chen Yuan was not stupid enough to ambush directly at the top of the conning tower, but instead entered the lookout platform on the mountain wall on the side of the conning tower, erecting the 'wisdom of the fool', and Chen Yuan waited motionlessly for the signal to close the net.

On the other side, the Apollo team and the other two teams hid in the armory on the right side of the assembly hall, and with the help of the aura shield brought by the natural magic 'Japanese Wind Array', everyone guarded the second floor of the building as planned.

"Head, they came down from the wall."

"How are the units preparing?"

"They are already waiting in the garrison building, and it is almost impossible for the 'Zephyr Array' to be detected by the search force."

"Wait, the defenses in the control room have been breached, and it won't be long before their leader will be coming this way, and their commander must be killed first."

"This time I'm going to make it impossible for any of them to get out of this line."

.....

The control room needs to be repaired by other races who are well-versed in formation tectonics, at least their Fallen Elves are powerless.

The leader began to advance towards the conning tower after receiving the information that all the troops were normal, and the forest elves had already evacuated with a high probability, and they also needed to speed up the occupation of the commanding heights and start deploying defenses.

Your own combat power is strong, but the number is not superior, once the large army of the forest elves from the rear of the construction area is not likely to defend it, so you can only try to delay the arrival of reinforcements on your side to buy time.

The two squads walked quickly, and in a few moments they made their way through the heavy buildings to the bottom of the conning tower.

"Directly break down the defense, the first team will enter first, and after confirming that there is no danger, hold the first floor, and the second team will follow me."

After speaking, a team immediately broke through the wall and gate at the bottom of the conning tower, and quickly searched upwards, and after a while, the squad withdrew to the first floor, and the leader saw this and led another squad to prepare to enter the conning tower.

"Attack!"

The Commander, who had seen everything from the 'Mirror of Air', gave the order to close the net at this moment.

At the same time, the forest elf troops hidden in various built-up areas quickly united with friendly forces in other directions to surround the 'Night Hunters' team that had gathered fire and dispersed, and street fighting was about to break out.

'Bang! ’

A sharp gunshot rang out, and the first bullet from Chen Yuan's ambush locked onto the head of the leader of the 'Night Hunter' unit.
