Chapter 346: Divide and Annihilate
"Hum..."
Just when Marcus Ogu, the leader of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment, thought that he had finally regained the initiative, there was a sudden humming sound in the sky. It was as if a large swarm of bees flew from behind, from far and near, and finally appeared above his head.
"What's the situation?"
Koomas looked up at the sky in surprise, and in the light of the fire, a shiny white silver disc appeared five steps above his head, dripping and spinning.
"Oh no! Beware of magic. ”
Almost the moment he saw the silver platter, Marcus recognized the identity of the silver platter, and he yelled loudly to alert the nearby mercenaries, but it was too late.
With a "bang", the silver disc burst open, turning into sharp fragments on the edge of the sky, flying diagonally down at an extremely high speed.
"Ice Burst Magic!"
Not only where Marcus was, but also where the other mercenaries gathered, there were suddenly more than a dozen ice burst spells in the air, and they burst out one after another when the mercenaries were alert.
"Oh... Ahh
The screams came and went, and where the debris swept by, a blood mist rose in the air, and the formation that had just been reorganized was suddenly chaotic.
The ice burst magic was just the beginning, and suddenly there was a loud sound of magic spells in the darkness, and Marcus looked for prestige, only to find that he didn't know when he was in the inside of the barracks, that is, behind them, there was suddenly a team of hundreds of people, and the sound of magic spells came from this team.
"This team is obviously not their own, they are in league with the enemy outside, but where did they come from? and how did they get into the inside of the barracks without knowing it?"
Marcus's mind was filled with questions for a moment, but it soon dawned on him, as he saw several familiar faces in the group that appeared, all of whom were refugees who had been captured by him during the day for a private assembly.
"It turned out to be a refugee!"
In an instant, everything became clear, it was a long-planned conspiracy against himself. The main messenger of the conspiracy is the refugees gathered in Iron Pine Town, and the purpose of their illegal assembly is to arrest their people, among these people there are not only swordsmen, but also a certain number of magicians, these magicians are all from the magic elementary school in Iron Pine Town, their magic level is not high, but under Allen's training, the primary magic is very proficient, and if there is the help of the magic array, intermediate magic can also be manipulated. The cells in the barracks couldn't stop them at all, so they set the fire in the barracks in the middle of the night, and when they found themselves blocked at the camp gate, they hurriedly rushed over to reinforce them, and as soon as they made a move, they used intensive primary magic to carry out a back-raid.
As for why the refugees did this, Marcus did not know, and he did not have time to think about it. As soon as this team appeared, primary magic such as fireballs, wind blades, ice spikes, and lightning flew out of the team and attacked the mercenaries' backs, immediately causing huge damage to the unprepared mercenaries.
"The enemy is coming from behind!"
"We are surrounded. ”
"Run for your life!"
The fact that the enemy appeared from behind completely destroyed the mercenaries' desire to win, and the originally strong defensive line fell apart when the enemy was on their backs, and the mercenaries, who had lost their confidence, began to flee in all directions. Marcus swung his sword and cut down the two mercenaries, but he couldn't stop the rout, he called some of his own soldiers and led the team in the direction of the magician. He thought that as long as he could kill the opponent's magician, there was still a possibility of turning the tide of the battle, but the other party had already made the most preparations, and the swordsmen responsible for protecting the magicians were not ordinary people, and with the assistance of the magicians, it was impossible for their formation to be broken in a short period of time. And the situation no longer allowed Marcus to spend more time, because the rout at the camp gate had spread and become out of control.
"I can't stand it, let's withdraw, regimental commander!"
The captain of the pro-soldier rushed to Marcus's side, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and persuaded. Just now, when he was fighting with the high-ranking swordsman led by the opponent, he suffered an internal injury because of his slightly inferior strength.
"Alas!"
Glancing at the barracks, which had been completely thrown into chaos, Marcus knew that the tide was turning, and he stomped his foot fiercely, and flew on his horse reluctantly.
"Withdraw..."
Under the protection of his own soldiers, Marcus did not dare to make a noise, and drove his horse out of the barracks to the south, but he did not expect to run not far away, and a shout came from behind:
"Brothers, Marcus is here, don't let him run, chase me!"
This was followed by shouts of killing, and the sound of horses' hooves, and it was clear that the enemy had discovered his tracks and were chasing him.
"Run!"
Marcus only brought out a total of more than 100 pro-soldiers, and he didn't dare to fight at all. I could only hurry up and rush in the direction of Aogucheng overnight.
After Marcus fled, the battle in the barracks continued, but the situation had become completely one-sided, and the refugees who had entered from the barracks gate merged with the men who had already lurked inside, and began to encircle and pursue the scattered mercenaries.
The defeat is decided, and most of the mercenaries can only choose to surrender with weapons when they lose contact with the large army, and those who do not surrender are scattered and fleeing, almost unable to form a decent resistance. By midday, the battle in the barracks was completely over, and the refugees were treating the wounded while cleaning the battlefield and searching for the defeated troops.
"Report to the wing commander, the barracks have been completely captured, the remnants of the enemy have been cleared, and the specific results are being counted. ”
"What about our losses?"
"Our losses are very small!"
At the tent in the center of the barracks, a soldier ran up to a bloodied young man, who was none other than Harvey Stirling, the senior swordsman who had taken the lead in attacking the camp gate.
After meeting Bloom in the wolf's tooth mining area of Capra Mountain, it was almost not necessary for Alan to take the initiative to speak, and Bloom had already stated that he would follow Ellen to the end no matter what Alan did. So in the wolf's tooth mining area, Alan had already taken out the plan he had prepared to overthrow Holancest, everyone discussed it, confirmed the details, and then Alan stayed alone, and Harvey, Stanny, and Miranda returned to Iron Pine Town and began to act against the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group.
The Flying Eagle Mercenary Group is stationed in Iron Pine Town, and Iron Pine Town is Allen's current lair, if Allen wants to overthrow Holancest's rule, he must start an incident based on Iron Pine Town, so to deal with Holland, the first thing to do is to eliminate the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group.
However, the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment was not so easy to deal with, and after deducting some of the number of people who were on missions outside, the number of troops stationed in Iron Pine Town alone reached 10,000. It is not easy to eliminate such a well-trained army, even if it can be done with Allen's current strength, but it is inevitable that he will lose his troops. So, in order to minimize the losses, Allen developed a strategy of dividing and treacherous. He asked the people of the Dragon Bard Mercenary Group to go to the Mercenary Guild to report that the team transporting weapons was attacked by the Demon Beast Group and needed assistance, and transferred the main force of the Eagle Mercenary Group to Capra Mountain, and this part of the force was dealt with by the Dragon Bard Mercenary Group. As for the remaining troops, Harvey was responsible for organizing the original militia to eliminate them. Thus achieving complete control over Iron Pine Town is the first and most important step in Allen's plan, and only when this step is completed can the next plan be smoothly advanced.
As soon as Harvey returned to Iron Pine Town, he immediately called Morey, Ronan and other key personnel to discuss the matter, and they quickly formulated a surprise plan, and in order to ensure the suddenness of the plan and not be detected by the opponent, they did not mobilize all the militia members, but only used a part of the distant residence, only more than 1,000 people.
Attacking a barracks guarded by 4,000 men with 1,000 men was a surprise attack, but Harvey was not sure of victory, so they devised tactics that should be coordinated with the outside and the inside. Some of them were sent to prison in the barracks through illegal assemblies, many of whom were magic students from elementary schools of magic, and even several powerful magic teachers such as Shaun, Elton and Feige, who were protected by swordsmen led by Morey and Ronan. The rope in the cell tied the swordsman's arm, but not the mage's mouth. In the middle of the night, they broke the ropes, opened the cells, subdued the guards, and then lurked around the barracks and began to set fires, and then the two sides worked together to eliminate their opponents.
