Chapter 263: Encounter

"Take the initiative?"

Allen's decision surprised even Peter, but for the three of them, it felt normal. The silver-haired boy they were familiar with had never been a passive person. The brutal competition in the death ring, the unreasonable provocation in Babylon, and even the battle between the Underworld Star and the Sword Demon, he has never shied away.

This time will certainly be no exception.

"Are you serious? Lieutenant? Peter said: "Even if the sword demon dispatches fewer troops, it will definitely be more than us." If we take the initiative, we will have a hard chance of winning. ”

The others also looked at Alan with a skeptical attitude.

Alan didn't answer Peter's question directly, he walked to the window, looked at the base in the night and said, "When everyone learned the news of the sword demon infestation just now, you were all scared, right?" I can see from your eyes that it's normal to be afraid, and I'm afraid. After all, no one is born a warrior. ”

He turned around and said, "We are afraid of war, we are afraid of losing our lives, and we are even more afraid that if we die in battle, our families will have nothing to rely on. I think that's what everyone at the base thinks. ”

"But why are we still here, uprooted from our homeland and come to this galaxy far away? That's because, if we don't stand up and choose to fight, there is a chance that the enemy here will appear on Earth! No one wants a Second Daybreak, so here we are. With our blood and even our lives to protect our homeland and family. ”

Alan stepped on the floor: "The war that is about to take place here may be a trivial battle for this planet. But I want you to believe that the battle here, this base, will affect the outcome of the Underworld Star Wars. Because ahead of us is the Miracle of the Sword Demon, the birthplace of their interstellar civilization. As long as it is destroyed, it will definitely hasten the defeat of the Sword Demon. ”

"At this moment, the army of the Queen of Roses is already on its way. And what we have to do is hold on until they come. But it is not enough to be defensive, we need to know the number of enemy troops, or even reduce their forces in advance, so as to reduce the pressure we have to face. Ladies and gentlemen, taking the initiative is not simply a matter of bravery, but for better defense. And, so that more people can survive! ”

There was silence in the command hall until Peter suddenly applauded: "If you want me to say, the second lieutenant really has the potential to be a politician, what a wonderful speech." But ......"

"You're right, only soft eggs will shrink into a turtle's shell, so let's fuck it well!" Peter said angrily: "I will arrange manpower, how many people do I need?" ”

"A hundred or so people are fine, but they have to be matched with the raging fire."

"Roger."

Peter left the hall, and Alan looked at the remaining officers and said, "Then can I leave the defense of the base to you?" ”

"Of course!" An officer burst into a roar: "Don't worry, second lieutenant, we will do the best defense work!" ”

"Yes, let those sword demons know that we are not so easy to gnaw bones!"

Alan was satisfied: "Then I will be relieved." ”

Then he glanced at Lucy and the three, and the four of them left the command hall. When they arrived at the square, Peter's assault team had been assembled, and more than 100 soldiers had gotten into the troop trucks, and even the two main combat vehicles that had seized Luda were transferred to Peter, ready to be used as cover and rear.

Alan and Pete shared an SUV, and after the soldiers opened the base gate, the commando vehicle drove out of the base and into the night-covered wilderness outside the base. The wind in the wilderness was coming, and Peter steered the lane: "You know what? You looked like a cowboy just now. ”

"Cowboy? What is that? ”

"That's a product of before Daybreak, the pioneers of the Old West. They're brave, they're fearless, and they're a little bit stupid. Peter Haha said.

Alan put his hand on the car door, propped his chin and said, "Doesn't sound bad." ”

"yes. So cowboys, what do we do next? ”

"Go to the outpost first, there has been no wind and snow in the past few days, and the sword demon will definitely leave traces. Let's follow the traces to their camp and give them a fireworks feast. Alan glanced at the first two main battle vehicles behind him.

"What a great idea!"

After arriving at the attack outpost, Alan had to thank the good weather without wind and snow in the past few days, which allowed the traces of the sword demon's departure after his success to be preserved intact. He himself is an expert in tracking, and the sword demon has never been a careful master, so as long as the traces left behind are not blind, they can be seen, and there is naturally no difficulty in tracking. It's just that the direction of the trace is pointing, but it is becoming clearer and clearer to show a place.

Winterless Lake!

The convoy moved forward in the night, and the barren land was silent, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn, like the calm before a storm. Alan gradually sensed that something was wrong, and when he saw a bright light on the dim horizon, he shouted, "Stop!" ”

The car came to a halt, and Allen grabbed his binoculars, unfolded his body, and jumped onto a nearby mountain. After the telescope turns on the night vision mode, an army is far away in the cyan wilderness.

"What's the situation?" Peter followed.

Alan kept adjusting the visual distance of the telescope, and said, "It's the sword demon, they rushed overnight." At this speed, it was possible to reach the vicinity of the base before dawn. ”

"That's a lot." Peter also held up a telescope to observe.

Suddenly, some tall figures flashed through the binoculars. Peter hurriedly pulled the camera over and fixed it on several giants covered with scales and no facial features. The lieutenant inhaled and said, "Damn it, it's a troll!" ”

Alan also saw those giants, but fortunately there were not many of them. However, these twenty or so trolls are enough to form a strong team, even if the three defensive walls of the advance base are probably not able to withstand the collision of this pair of trolls.

They're going to die here!

At this time, Alan made up his mind. If these trolls are allowed to participate in the battle, the base will suffer heavy casualties even if it can be held in the end. He put down his binoculars and said, "Lieutenant, I need you to lead people to attract the attention of the enemy troops. ”

"Are you going to get rid of those trolls?" Peter is not stupid either, and the destructive power of such trolls has been mentioned more than once in the Federation's war reports. Several Federation strongholds on the Plains of Alex have been trampled alive by hordes of trolls.

"Of course, we can't let the big guys mess around. These trolls are at the back of the army, and I'll have to get around. You lead people to attract the attention of their main forces, don't fall in love, it's better to break up their formation. ”

"I know how to do it."

The two hurried back to the surface, and all the soldiers disembarked from the truck. Alan picked about twenty people, took Lucy and drove a truck into the wilderness. They were going to bypass the Blade Demon's forces and raid the twenty or so trolls from behind. Peter marched with the rest of the soldiers, looking for a position to ambush. The main chariots followed, and the two chariots were to keep Peter's and them at arm's length, providing fire repellent as they retreated.

As for the trucks, they remained in place, and when Peter and the others returned, they could immediately retreat and throw off their pursuers at the speed of the trucks.

All the arrangements were completed in a short period of time, and when things happened suddenly, Alan and the others didn't have time to discuss in more detail, so they had to improvise.

Ten kilometers away, Peter found a suitable place to ambush. The terrain is undulating and littered with rocks, which can be used as shelter. There was a gesture at the moment, and the soldiers dispersed. Peter himself took a magic sniper/gun and found a high ground with a good view and lay down. There was a cigarette on his mouth, but the cigarette was not lit. Peter just habitually bites the cigarette butt and smells a hint of tobacco in his nose.

The two main battle vehicles were already on standby, and the soldiers had completed the arrangement of the firing arrays, waiting for the enemy to send them themselves.

At this moment, Peter strangely did not feel the slightest nervousness. Obviously, the fire on the horizon was getting brighter and brighter, and you could even feel that the earth was shaking slightly. But in the midst of the great battle, Peter's mind drifted far away, and he remembered the days when he was young, when he often had to risk being beaten half to death for a piece of bread to barely survive.

He was then adopted by a disabled veteran who taught him many skills to earn a living. And that time was also the happiest, but the good times did not last long, in a looting by the bandits, the village that had been there for three years was burned, and his adoptive father was also killed in the resistance.

After that, a life of displacement, until he met her, Peter had roots and no longer wandered.

"Wendy, are you alright......" he asked quietly.

The firelight pierced into his eyes, and Peter took a deep breath and hid that gentle face deep into the depths of his heart. Before you know it, time passes quickly, and you can already see the vanguard of the Sword Demon Army.

Among the enemy's forwards, a demon figure stands out. In Peter's sniper/gun sight, the Majin rides a blood-haired horned wolf, a bloodthirsty wolf of the wildhorn wolf. Riding on the blood wolf was a commander, who did not wear armor like other sword demons, but instead wore his upper body bare, and hung a crescent heavy axe on his back, in the form of a battle maniac.

The doji in the sight was fixed on the forehead of the thousand-legged, and at this moment, the sword demon in the sight cast his gaze. Peter's hand pressed down steadily, a faint blue light flashed in the sight, and then the commander's entire head exploded, but it was a shot at the sniper bullet condensed by the source force.

The rough voice of the magic energy sniper/gun sounded in the deserted mountain area at this time, and thus the battle began.

In the middle of the army, Kamu rode an inferno beast. When he heard the gunshot, the sword demon general's expression changed, and the sword pointed at the source of the gunfire and shouted: "There is an ambush, rush me!" Kill all the humans and step on their corpses. ”

In a word, the fierce nature of the sword demon is exhausted. R1058
