The other three demons reacted immediately, and they controlled the dinosaur to scatter, flying left and right in the direction they had come, and disappeared into the sky in a short time.

As they retreated, one of the demons turned around and plunged their spear into the head of the mount, which had been shattered with half of its wings shattered and was spiraling down.

Although Andrea kept her eyes on her target, the second standing coin never appeared.

"Escaped?" said Savi, surprised, "what are they doing here?"

Fleeing without a fight seemed to be the first time for the devil, and in the past, it was the impression that this ferocious race would never give up without trying to bite the target. It's not an offense, it's not like a scout, it's just a bit of a surprise that it keeps circling back and forth in one position.

"I don't know......," Andrea let go of the trigger, "and they seem to have figured out how to dodge the sniper." It seems that the enemy learns very quickly, do you say, little Moriel?" she smiled and looked at Moriel, who was rubbing her ears.

"You should have been reminded sooner next time," Moriel grumbled, the weapon no less moving than the artillery, and she barely had time to protect her ears. Even so, the thunderous noise still made her head buzz.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't expect the 'guide line' to appear so quickly, probably because my ability has improved again. Andrea blinked, "How about I give you a special compensation as an apology?"

"You didn't mean to, you still don't need to," Moriel scratched her head, "after all, it's more important to repel the enemy." ”

"But that's going to keep me going for a long time. ”

"Uh......" Looking at the other party's serious eyes, she had to agree, "What is the compensation?"

"Chaos Drink. Andrea covered her lips.

"You...... Are you sure?" Moriel surprised. When she was on the Isle of Sleep, she only knew that the other party was not only from a prominent family, but also that her abilities were among the most powerful among the battle witches, and that her status was on par with Ash, and that she had always been by Tilly's side, so she didn't have much contact with her. It was after coming to Neverwinter that the barrier between the Battle Witch and the Non-Battle Witch completely disappeared, and she realized that the other party was not as cold as she imagined, but a person who was both elegant and kind.

But she didn't expect Andrea to be so generous!

"Yes, the general rule is to record a cup of cards per game, and my special compensation is that if you lose, you can get a free cup from me, and I will still record it to you if I lose. Well, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"I see, if you only get in and don't get out...... Wait, that's not the case!" Moriel snapped up, "Isn't it about playing cards after all, this lazy behavior, I-"

"But you've already agreed, just now. Andrea showed a "it's too late" expression, "Stay here and don't leave, I'll go to the command post to report the situation and come back immediately!"

Before Moriel could open her mouth to defend herself, she jumped off the brick stack and disappeared at the end of the yard area.

She looked at Maggie with an empathetic expression, and finally knew what she meant, "They forced me here."

......

Front-line command post.

In half an hour, all the information about this "unexpected encounter" had been gathered in front of the Iron Axe Table.

The first to spot the enemy's tracks were Lightning and Maisie, who were roaming the perimeter of the cordon.

The two of them alternated through the clouds one after the other, just avoiding the enemy's sight, and then followed the devil in the direction of six o'clock, and used the listening sigil to warn Sylvie.

According to Lightning's description, the Devil's flight path forms a stark straight line on the map - it just connects the front line of the railway with the ruins of Tachira. In other words, the other side was not on patrol duty, but at the beginning of the fight, it was coming towards the First Army.

The entire encounter lasted about a quarter of an hour, and only Miss Andrea was the only weapon that could hit a flying target at this distance. After losing one member, the remaining devils immediately chose to retreat, and swayed from side to side as they fled, in order to avoid follow-up blows. It proved to be an effective tactic, and Andrea didn't get another shot.

Sylvie watched each other leave the cordon.

Lightning and Maisie didn't take any further action.

Fifteen minutes later, the alarm was lifted.

Iron Axe put down the report in his hand and let out a long breath.

This is the integrated system of war intelligence formulated by His Majesty Roland - the belligerent units report their actions step by step, and finally gather them in the General Staff, and then the staff officers organize and refine them to restore the entire process of the battle. When used in conjunction with the map and sand table, the army command can have the most intuitive understanding of the battle situation on the front line.

Although he had practiced it several times before the expedition, the first practical application of the system still touched Iron Axe's heart—for the first time, he felt that the war was so clear that he felt as if he was standing above the clouds, overlooking the whole process of the battle from the air.

When in Iron Sand City, even if it is a battle of hundreds of people between clans, it may be chaotic, and if you want to sort out the success or failure after the fact, it will take time and effort, not to mention, most of them can only get a superficial conclusion. But now, whether it was the enemy's actions or his own reactions, they were all truthfully presented in his mind, and this feeling of knowing everything made Iron Axe feel that those battles of the Morgin clan could only be regarded as brawls at best.

Of course, it is not enough to understand the big picture, and the next most important task is undoubtedly to figure out the devil's intentions.

Iron Axe looked at Edith, who was staring at the map—she was the only one who hadn't discussed it with the rest of the staff.

Iron Axe has no regrets about the fact that he truthfully reported his contact with the other party to His Majesty Roland before, His Majesty is the person he swore to be loyal to, even if he is sorry for the Pearl of the Northland, he will not have a second choice. It's just that this move is indebted after all, and he is also ready to be sneered at or ignored by the other party. But the result was a little unexpected, as if this had never happened, even after being punished by His Majesty, he would still invite him to some gatherings of the General Staff, but he would not discuss political affairs alone.

Now that he thinks about it, he really doesn't know much about women's minds—that's been the case since the days of the Far South.

"Did you find anything?" Iron Axe walked up behind her.

"No," Edith shrugged, "I'm not a devil, how could I have known what they thought by a single glance." ”

"You didn't discuss it with them, I thought I had a clue. ”

"There's not much point in discussing without clues, you can't confirm it or falsify it, you just add to your worries. ”

"In that case, then I will take it as the conclusion of the General Staff and report it to Your Majesty. Iron Axe nodded. If even the Northland pearl can't be fathomed, then this is the end of the matter.

"There you go. Edith paused, "But ......"

"But what?"

"I don't think it's going to end so easily. If the enemy really wants to attack our idea, he will definitely take action in the near future. ”

What happened next confirmed Edith's point.

Only two days later, the devil appeared again in the northeast.

The same four mad demons.

This time, they were farther away from the front line, and if they were directly observed with the naked eye, they could barely see four black dots.
