Chapter 25: Re-march
With the help of Vivien and the other armorers, Baizhan made a lot of food, most of which was the Energy Castle. Even at Vivian's request, Baizhan tried to make a small amount of "snow cakes". The snow cakes were very cherished by Vivien and wrapped in several layers before being handed over to the soldiers for safekeeping. Because after eating this, I feel that the blood flow in my body accelerates, like a little more. This is because in the game, the role of the snow cake is to restore a small amount of qi and blood. There is no way, there are too few modules that can be activated by Baizhan now, and it can only produce low-level items.
Energy Castle and Snow Cake are magical foods in Vivien's eyes, but in the eyes of Hundred Battles, these are all props that provide various buffs. Seriously, Baizhan never thought that the items in the game would have the same effect in the current world. Although the buff is invisible, the effect is still there.
With these foods, the armor soldiers can quickly replenish their physical strength and increase the time of the round battle. In this way, the soldiers are more confident and confident. The rest of the march was more certain.
After sorting out the supplies and making sufficient preparations, the Yanjia Regiment began to march. According to the previously designed route, the Silver Moon Guard Yanjia Regiment first continued to advance westward, entering the demarcated border of the western continent, and then made a big detour to make a quick return along the edge of the crater all the way to the east, passing through the Dingguo Gorge and crossing the enemy's line again, and then entering the demarcated border of the Cullinan Empire. It's a very complicated route. Even if the giant wants to chase it, it is enough to choke the silver moon guard.
After the "Contract Day" incident, the Central Continent was wiped out overnight, leaving only one country, the Cullinan Empire. But the Celestian Empire alone can't fight the giants. Moreover, it is impossible for the remaining four continents to let go of the rich resources on the central continent. Therefore, all four continents sent troops to support the Celestial Seal Empire. Nominally, it's to fight the giants together. But in fact, it's about dividing up resources. Therefore, on the territory of the central continent, the remaining four continents also have their own division categories, that is, "demarcating national borders". Within the "demarcated borders" of each continent, people from other continents can pass or march, but the resources belong to the continent.
As the largest defense force against giants, the Cullinan Empire is the object that the various continents will not provoke by convention. Because of the containment of the Cullinan Empire, the giants did not leave the continent for the first time. For each country, the Cullinan Empire is tired of fighting against giants, so it will not be disadvantageous to any country at all. And if any country fights against the Celestian Empire, it is bound to anger some countries close to the coast of the Central Continent. Therefore, under the agreement of the countries, the Cullinan Empire is a permanent neutral country.
Each of the four continents divides its own "demarcated borders" on the central continent in the direction of its own continental coastline. Of course, the Cullinan Empire's borders are still the largest in the Central Continent. It's just that in the case of the giants' attack, the Celestian Empire is unable to control all the borders at all. The main power of the Celestial Cullinan Empire is in the southeast of the Central Continent.
The retreat route chosen by Bai Zhan was to cross the demarcated border line of the Cullinan Empire, continue to move rapidly, and finally enter the Line of Actual Control of the Cullinan Empire.
After the Yanjia Regiment set off, it didn't take long for the scouts to come in with new news: "A group of giants came in by some means. ”
According to calculations, it should be that when Kenmaihime was experimenting with artillery, the giant noticed that there was something wrong in the valley. Then find a way to get some of the smaller giants in. Because the mountain road is long, the giant's speed is very slow.
"It looks like we're going to go the other way. It would be a little easier for us to drill a cave. Vivien said confidently as she looked at the map.
Bai Zhan on the side said: "When you go out, you have to enter the dense forest." There may be giants in there, and once we encounter an attack by giants, we can break through and go north. As long as you jump out of this part of the valley, the encirclement of the giants will probably fail. In the mountains, it is difficult for giants to form an encirclement. This is very beneficial for us. We can take advantage of the priority to get through and occupy a good position, and then shell key sections of the road, blocking the mountain road and making it difficult for the giants to pursue. And it can also cause a lot of casualties. ”
Vivien nodded and smiled, "Your calculations are fine, I trust you." Let's go! ”
Although the giants entered the valley, the Silver Moon Guard left the camp clean, leaving no trace of the direction that could be speculated. Therefore, it is difficult for giants to discern the direction at the first time. Moreover, after the small giants entered, the scouts activated the preset time bomb and directly blocked the mountain road into the valley. The scouts then followed the path to join the convoy. By this time, the convoy had already passed through the canyon through another exit. The armor was pulled out by the car after lying down one by one. It took a lot of effort, but fortunately, it was very neat to get through here.
After the convoy passed, Vivien excitedly drove her sword dancer to open the way in front. After leaving the valley, Silver Moon Guard quickly entered the dense forest. In the preset direction, the convoy moved quickly through the dense forest. When passing through here, it was surprising that no pursuers were found.
After the convoy had traveled some more distance, Vivien suddenly faintly heard the sound of running water.
"The river? What's going on? ”
Bai Zhan said in a low voice: "It's not clear for the time being, there is no river mark on the map. There should be a problem. ”
"Lao Luo, you take Miller to explore the way, remember not to do it, just observe."
"Understood!" Rothel took Miller, a total of two armors, and quietly approached to observe.
Among the Sword Dancers, Hyakuzha and Vivien are all looking at the map.
Vivien sighed and asked in a serious tone, "Why do I always feel that there is something wrong with this battle, we seem to be pitted as if it is not as simple as it seems!" ”
Bai Zhan nodded and said, "It's a little wrong." But my advice for now is not to do anything that doesn't make sense. The current mission objective is a safe return to the Cullinan Empire. ”
Vivien smiled and said, "You're right. But as a soldier, the fighter is something that cannot be missed. If we can inflict great damage on the enemy, we can take some risks. ”
Bai Zhan replied calmly: "According to the calculation data of the plan, any meaningless battle will only promote casualties. ”
"But it would make sense if it could reduce more casualties." Vivien said seriously.
Bai Zhan thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "If you look at the overall situation, it is true. Can be seriously considered. ”
"Rest assured, getting back alive is still our highest priority. It's just that you can think about it and learn to think like a real warrior. On the battlefield you are a warrior. Be flexible in your thinking and not too rigid. How old you are, you feel cold, you feel bad. Vivien suggested casually.
Bai Zhan lowered his head, he looked at his hands, and continued, "I will try." ”
"Well, let's work together." Vivien glanced back at the battle behind her.
Bai Zhan sat on the bench, he still looked at Vivien blankly, but this time with a jerky smile on his face that couldn't express any emotion.
Rothel and the others followed the sound towards the river. When he reached the river, Rothel froze......
It was a small river that was not very big, and it was full of sewage. Without investigating, it can be seen that it is a small river dug by hand, or that it is simply a canal. The water inside was pitch black and exuded a strong fishy smell.
Rothel picked up the intercom and whispered, "We have approached the small river, and from the observation it is not a small river at all, it is a man-made sewage canal. ”
"Artificially dug sewers? Would the giants still do this? Vivien asked through the intercom in confusion.
"It doesn't look like a giant, it should be dug by humans!" Rothel replied immediately.
When Vivien heard the news, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Roth, you stand by and watch on the spot, and I'll take someone over to check the situation." ”
After the call, Vivien called Xiang Bo, who asked him to find another subordinate to join Rothel with her. Xiang Bo chose his own adjutant and drove a non-exclusive model of third-generation Yanjia to follow along.
There is a reason why Xiang Bo is so careful. Discovering the artificially dug canal, Xiang Bo's first impression was the Southern Fire Empire. This time, the Southern Fire Empire behaved abnormally. By now, Xiang Bo was sure that the Southern Fire Empire must have some completely unspeakable secrets in the southern part of the Central Continent......
Therefore, Xiang Bo was very cautious about this matter, he didn't want to be planted in the hands of the group of people in the Southern Fire Empire again.
Vivien led the team and quickly moved in the direction of Rothel. The convoy took refuge in a nearby sheltered spot and waited for the rest of the group to converge.
When Vivien and Rothel joined each other, one look at the river and conclude that it had been dug by hand. Judging from the traces of the tools, they were made by human tools, and the giant's work would not be so delicate.
Bai Zhan stepped forward and carefully checked the composition of the sewage. From the data analyzed, it is easy to tell that this is the sewage from washing the ore, and there is a large amount of slag in it.
Bai Zhan raised his head and said in a low voice: "This water is the sewage from the mine, and it should come out of the mine." ”
Vivian and the others looked at each other, and Xiang Bo used the intercom to call his remaining three third-generation armors. This is his elite, and when he broke through, he relied on this elite armor squad to wait for them to come to support in a hundred battles.
When the three men arrived, Vivien had six third-generation armors on her side. This kind of combat power is really very powerful. On the frontal battlefield, six third-generation Yanjia are considered elite Yanjia regiments.
This time, the eight armors spread out and cautiously approached the sewer. Hyaksen looked at his surroundings through the rocket launcher's periscope scope.
After the team had traveled some distance, Bai Zhan suddenly shouted, "Find the target, stop moving!" ”
Vivien shouted, "Stop! ”
The armor stopped one after another. Xiang Bo opened the binoculars and took a look, and from the lookout, he could see directly in front of him the source of the sewage canal. In the distance there was a large pond full of ore, and there were many armor patrolling around it. There is a full number of Yan Armor regiments deployed here, and these Yan Armor are the main force of the Southern Fire Empire, the third generation of Yan Armor!!
"Bastard! A tactical-level Yanjia regiment is deployed here, and it is still a combat team of thirty people with all three generations of Yanjia. These brutes!! Rothel looked at the scene in the telescope and said angrily.
Vivien also snorted coldly: "I'll just say where did the main force of the Southern Fire go?!! Hum! It turned out to be here. We're working hard in front, they're secretly mining here, so it's no wonder they don't help. Once it contributes, this mine will be exposed, and it will inevitably be targeted by all countries. They want to eat alone!! Compared to the port, alloy is too valuable. A large number of alloys represent a large number of armor, increasing the number of armor and increasing the strength of one's army. The ambitions of the Southern Fire Empire are not small! ”
Xiang Bo said in a low voice: "Hmph, the ambition is really not small. And the abacus is really smart. As long as they have enough metal, they are not afraid to go to war with any country. When the time comes, even if it is time to conquer the southern coast, they will be able to eat alone with their overwhelming forces. The Southern Fire Empire is really ambitious!! ”
Rothel said angrily: "We are just few people. If there are enough people, Lao Tzu will have to serve him here! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Bai Zhan said calmly: "It doesn't take so much, the firepower we have now can take out this mine." ”
