Chapter 21: Behind Enemy Lines
In the cave, whether it is a demon war or a scholar, everyone has fallen into an unspeakable shock and stupor!
"How is that possible...... The magic field has not yet reached its peak...... It's even early...... Moreover, in the past few days, I haven't noticed any drastic changes in the magic field at all - on the contrary, the spatial magic energy of each point has decreased slightly......"
Academician Qian muttered.
"How could it not be? Academician, don't forget, we don't understand their magic item technology, maybe their magic item technology has improved again? Maybe some strange god of theirs has given them a way to not need the enhancement of the magic field, or to cover up the enhancement of the magic field? Or maybe something really happened upstairs? β
"Academician, I have to solemnly remind you that when all the clues point to one result, no matter how ridiculous that result is, it is a fact that is happening. We don't feel right because we don't know something, not because it doesn't exist. β
Xie Ning had already taken a deep breath, but he calmed down again.
β¦β¦
Academician Qian was speechless, her body began to tremble, but Xiao Ledong on the side suggested with a pale face: "Let's go back immediately and search the body of the barbarian." β
"Don't go, I'm afraid it'll be even more late! We're going to have to go back and report it right away, this fucking place can't be used by any means of communication! We have to get out of the chaotic range of the Far North Forest Demon Field as soon as possible, and immediately warn the Far North Legion and report to Your Majesty! β
"We need to get back to the Far North as soon as possible! I have a very bad feeling if we are delaying even half a second...... I'm afraid we won't be able to go backβno, I'll have to send a few men day and night to get back to report the news!" β
Xie Ning said in a deep voice, and he had already strode out of the cave.
Outside the tent, the clear sound of the command had already come from his mouth, and it was gradually moving awayβobviously, Shainin was already preparing to gather the demon warriors who were on guard at the entrance of the cave, and were ready to set off immediately.
β¦β¦
A group of people were still looking at each other.
"We ...... Let's go back and prepare, let's go overnight......" Yang Linkai spit out a few words with difficulty.
Qian Xiao and the others nodded silently, but they left to walk out of the tent. But when he ran into Shain, who hurriedly walked back to the tent, his face was ...... It's full of iron blue!
"Why are you back?" Xiao Ledong asked solemnly.
"Already...... Can't go back......" Xie Ning took a deep breath, but suddenly spit out a few words.
β¦β¦
When several people, led by Shainin, quietly poked their heads out of the hole and looked below the ice wall......
Everybody's face is like earth!
Under the dark night, in the faint glow of starlight, a tall black shadow riding some kind of monster that looked like a giant wolf was rushing through the forest silently and silently towards the south. And they scattered piece by piece along a certain line, and gradually, not far in front of them, the entire Far North Forest was already obscured!
"General, they didn't make a sound at all...... Except for the monster screams that happen from time to time. But this screaming happens every night, and we're all used to it. β
One of the vigilant demon wars beside him who was the first to notice the anomaly said with a pale face.
β¦β¦
"They seem to be ......moving forward in a dragnet pattern," Yang said in a low voice.
"Collect military rations." Xie Ning coldly spit out a few words: "Didn't you see that as long as they saw the demonic beasts, they used a strange means to trap them?" I finally understood how the Monster tide in the Far North Forest came about...... They were stocked here! β
"Of course, more importantly, I'm afraid they will also arrest us by the way - don't forget, we killed that barbarian, and we also left traces of a large number of activities there, and they will not be completely buried by the wind and snow."
"But the blessing in the misfortune is ...... We have been slowed down by academics. This was a misfortune, but at this time, it became a blessing - even if we were an elite Demon War reconnaissance team, we couldn't match the speed of these guys who were still riding monsters in the jungle, and sooner or later they would catch up and kill them. β
β¦β¦
"But what no one expected was that we were a scientific expedition with many old and weak women among them - because of the speed of our injuries and illnesses, they actually judged that our position was still safe, but not far in front of us began to really carpet the net search."
"We made a mistake, we didn't expect that the magic field had only fluctuated for a few months, and it hadn't reached its peak at all, and they actually came......"
"They also seem to have made a mistake, they didn't expect that we tried to crack the secrets of the passage, and thought that the invasion should happen a few months later, only to send out a scientific expedition that was partially exhausted on the return trip - not an elite reconnaissance force!"
Xie Ning said with a slight sneer.
"Let's go back. Don't worry, this place is already very hidden, and the barbarians are in front of us to open a search line - to find a few water and ice big demons to fight, slowly release the magic energy sequence, completely seal the cave entrance, so that it becomes one with the mountain wall, leaving only a few hidden air outlets. In this way, as long as the entrance to the cave is hidden, we will probably be fine for the time being. β
"However, everyone must be careful if they are discovered...... I think everybody knows the consequences. β
Xie Ning said in a deep voice, and people were already nodding their heads again and again.
β¦β¦
"No need to go, stay put."
When he returned to the cave again, facing the inquiring eyes of the cave, Xie Ning had already said in a deep voice.
"So, the barbarians have really invaded? General, we won't be discovered, will we? There was a trembling voice from the crowd, the voice of a scholar from the Western Continent.
"No, it won't."
Xie Ning smiled: "The barbarian cordon's cordon just began to slowly disperse in front of us, pulling the net to search. They may be doing some covert operation, but they never expected that there would be us, staying in the forest that is already infinitely close to the depths. β
β¦β¦
"Shainin, we have to go back and report immediately." Xiao Ledong said in a deep voice.
"Can you go back?"
Xie Ning smiled bitterly: "At the beginning of the battle, it was the time when the precautions were the most rigorous, and you have also seen that their current strength has not yet spread, and they are crowded, and it is estimated that there are a lot of high-level and even super-level demon battles." Even if we send a few elites, we can only go back by detour, otherwise we will be sent to death. But does it still make sense to take a detour back? It is estimated that at that time, the tactical actions of the barbarians had already been completed. β
"So what do we do?" Yang Linkai asked urgently.
β¦β¦
I saw Xie Ning ponder for a while, and suddenly spit out a word: "Wait." β
"Wait for the barbarians to pass through, and then we will cross the forest to the Far North Harbor. In any case, these precious scholars cannot afford to lose and send them back from the sea. You know, the land power of the barbarians is on a par with ours due to the enhancement of the Monster mounts, but their sea power is very weakβthey don't go to war on sharks, do they? β
"Then, let's fight to the death in the Far North Harbor. You guys...... What do you think? β
He glanced at the black oppressive crowd standing silently in the cave, and asked slowly, his expression was full of slaughter.
"Obey the general's orders!" The demon warriors had already answered in a low voice in unison.
"I only hope that the new Great Wall defense line must hold on until the empire reacts, but there must be no leaks......"
Xie Ning nodded in satisfaction, he looked up at the top of the cave, and muttered again.
β¦β¦
"I'm afraid they'll crush ...... with a starlight raid," a demon warlord suddenly said worriedly.
"Not really."
Xiao Ledong took over the conversation: "If that's the case, then I'm really shocked by the stupidity of the barbarians, at most a dozen stars, and one less to die, they dare to send it like this?" No matter how advanced the demon war is, he is also a human being, not a god, he will be tired, he will consume magic energy, and he will really fight to die tens of thousands of people, do you think we can't die a star? β
"And you know, my Far North Fortress also has a group of demon generals shining brightly. If he mixed in with the small soldiers and gave a few cold blows to Xingyao, who had consumed a lot of physical energy and demon armor, then the barbarians would have a lot of fun. Moreover, the extreme speed of the sky exceeds that of the fighters, and the four stars of the imperial capital can come day and night. β
"Then after we finish fighting an Extreme North Legion, I'm afraid that the barbarian Xingyao will die. At that time, without super-level combat power, what will they do to stop the larger demon-armored army led by more than a dozen stars in the human race? β
"It's not terrible to be a high-level or even a super-level alone, the most terrifying thing is a hybrid power from low to high. That combat power is not additive, but multiplied. Finally, Xiao Ledong concluded.
β¦β¦
"Yes, in short, it is the stupidest thing to trade a high-level and a super-level for a low-level." Yang Linkai nodded.
"Unless it is a decisive battle, high-level and super-level as deterrent forces and decisive forces, it is impossible and dare not move so lightly, and the most effective role they can play is to contain the opponent's same-level forces - otherwise it would be better for everyone to have more stars than anyone in a battle, and they still need to kill and kill? The real fight still has to rely on the low and intermediate level. But we have the whole strong Great Wall defense line to cover, and their chances of victory may not be great. β
Yang Linkai said coldly.
"Yes, and it's clearly not a strategic showdown." Xie Ning also nodded.
"Even if they capture the Empire's Far North fortress. The empire also has the other half of the main force of the Far North Army stationed on the line of the Daling River, as well as the three air attack carrier battle groups cruising on the sea, and the army that is hoarded in several provinces behind the Far North, and the Praetorian Guard Army in the imperial capital can also go north at any time. If they were stupid enough to send one or two stars for the sake of an Arctic North fortress, unless their stars were already in the tens or hundreds, otherwise, this battle would be easy to fight. But they fought the Emperor and the Chief Holy Priest to support more than a dozen deaths. β
"In large-scale battles, Starlight's power was lowered. If it is gnawed slowly, even if it takes more than 100,000 people, it will take so much time or two, and Xingyao can slowly kill it. But if it's a bloc war, do you have the time to slowly fight and grind? I'm afraid that before you're halfway done, your army will all collapse. Don't forget, the empire of World War I collapsed at the hands of the vast low-to-middle ranks of the barbarians, who were almost human or demonic. Instead of a few more stars for the barbarians. β
"So don't worry too much. The main decisive force on the battlefield is the soldiers, not the generals. High-level super-level is only an indispensable core power, but it will not be easily used to die. In this battle, they can only use a huge low and mid-level to gnaw at our Great Wall defense, and the Sky Star will only appear in a thunderous blow when our defeat is now. β
Shainin concluded in a deep voice.
The riot between the scholars and the demon wars finally calmed down temporarily, and although they were still frightened, they finally seemed to have a backbone.
β¦β¦
Xie Ning and Yang Xiao looked at each other, but found that there was a deep ...... hidden in each other's eyes Youse.
Yes, everything they say...... There is an indispensable foundation - in the case of the Empire being prepared! Otherwise, if it is attacked by a sneak attack, if it is broken by concentrating forces, I am afraid that the fall of the Great Wall defense line will be a matter of time sooner or later! High-level super-level naturally can't be easily lost, but the huge low-level and middle-level legions are just used to consume!
And more importantly, it is more about themselves. Shainin's vision of crossing the Far North Forest...... There is also an indispensable foundation - under the condition that the barbarians do not pay attention to them and do not encircle them! Otherwise, they have so many non-combat old and weak people in such a little magic war, and even with the assistance of a sled, their mobility is mediocre. However, they tried to cross at least half of the Far North forest in an area where the enemy was extremely mobile and behind enemy lines......
