Chapter 381: Conquest of the Submarine Plain (6)
"All seven settlements in the east have been evacuated, and according to the scout's report, he has seen with his own eyes the kilometer-long procession heading towards the Yurutel Valley." Commander Trinoch pointed to the map and said to Siassi and the others: "The situation in the north and south is similar, it is estimated that it will take two days to completely withdraw it, as for the situation in the west, because of the long distance, the last information sent back is already one and a half days ago, if everything is normal, then the latest information will arrive at us in the next few hours." β
After Cui Nuoqi said this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "These fish people are really stupid enough, they are fleeing, evacuating, not moving, according to intelligence, these idiots actually moved everything that can be moved in the settlement, and there are even people dragging huge and heavy shells and nuts, haha!" If they hadn't brought too many things with them, they wouldn't have walked so slowly, and if I had 3,000 men on hand, combined with a seahorse mount that could be transferred, I would have the confidence to ambush and wipe out all of these fishmen on the way. β
"Haha, that's right. Siassi replied with a smile, "Although these fishmen are very brave and fierce, their brains are really not very useful. β
"Yes. Commander Trinoch also smiled and said: "If it is 1 to 1, these strong fish-man warriors are not inferior to our Naga warriors, if it is a fish-man berserker, even the combat effectiveness is more fierce than the average Naga warriors, but they completely rely on their own bravery, and do not pay attention to cooperation at all, so as long as the number of people on both sides exceeds 100 people, we Naga people almost have an advantage." If each side sends out a main army of 1,000 men, then I am absolutely sure that the enemy army will be completely annihilated with less than 30% of the losses. As for the size of 10,000 or even 100,000 people......"
"Report! The latest information from the western region. Before he could finish his words, he heard a hurried but somewhat muffled voice in the distance, and he stopped chatting, looked up, and saw two Naga warriors running towards him with a tired and pale face. When the three Naga warriors approached Trinochi, the scout was too tired to speak, and Siassi nodded to a high-ranking priest beside her, who unleashed a fatigue-relieving spell on the scout.
When the spell was fully activated, Scout Naga's face turned bloody, and he puffed out his chest and spoke to Commander Trinoch in a tone of suppressed sadness, "Urgent military situation! During our reconnaissance in the western part of the Ulutel Valley, we spotted a team of unknown origin heading towards the Ulutel Valley. The captain felt that this team was very suspicious, so he took us a little closer, wanting to explore more clearly, but who knew that we were only 500 meters away from the target and were discovered, and the captain and they led people to fight to the death for me, and they all ......"
A few tears welled up on Naga Scout's face as he said this, and then he took out an image crystal from his bosom and said to Commander Trinochi, "This is the image we captured, please check it out with Commander and Lady Siassi!"
"Is there such a thing?" "Theas and Trinoch glanced at each other, their hearts were equally full of questions, Trinoch personally took the precious reflection crystal from the scout's hand in exchange for his colleague's blood and life, and then pulled out a base made of Mithril from the storage pocket in his arms, and gently placed the crystal on it. There was a groove in the Mithril base that could fit together perfectly when the Reflection Crystal was inserted, and then Trinoch whispered a activation spell that activated the magic circle on the Mithril base.
Theassi knew that these Reflection Crystals were used by military scouts, and that they had to be activated by a special base and specific spells, and that they were so precious that only scout squads who were ordered to go out could carry one by the captain, to pass on extremely important information, or to leave valuable clues for the search team when the entire team was about to be wiped out.
Under the operation of the magic array on the Mithril base, the reflection crystal emitted a faint light curtain upwards, and then an image appeared on the light curtain, the whole image was not very clear, but it was still possible to recognize a burly lizardman roaring out of the team 500 meters away, but in a few seconds, the lizardman actually came close.
One of the Naga scouts pulled out his weapon to resist, but was beheaded by the lizardman, and the other Naga scout hugged the lizardman from behind, apparently intending to use his body to buy time for his companions to escape, but the lizardman held a strange scimitar and passed under his side, and then the white light flashed, and the Naga scout who hugged his body was cut off with two arms, and then the lizardman waved his arm and bounced the scout who had lost his combat ability away.
At this point, the entire image suddenly shook a few times, and then the perspective began to move away from the lizardman, apparently it was the Naga scout captain who handed the reflection crystal to his companion and told him to quickly evacuate, and in the ensuing blurred image, the Naga scout captain waved two daggers and stopped in front of the lizardman without hesitation. The entire image gradually dimmed here, and turned black in a very short time, and then countless cracks suddenly appeared on the originally smooth surface of the reflection crystal, and only a soft sound of "click!" was heard, and the entire reflection crystal turned into a useless fragment and scattered on the ground.
The Syas watched the entire image in silence, and after a long while, the commander of Trinoch spoke, "Let us mourn for the brave warriors who sacrificed their lives!" Everyone bowed their heads in mourning for the scout captain and his two companions, and the Naga scout, who had been ordered to carry the image crystal, wept bitterly. When the ritual was complete, Commander Trinoch comforted the surviving scout with a few words and asked him to take him down to rest and recuperate.
"At least a weapon master! A weapon master who is proficient in this strange weapon is either a sensationalist type, or has a different fighting style!" One of the Naga weapon masters under Siassi spoke: "I saw that it was about 500 meters from that team to the scout's side, and it only took less than 4 seconds for the lizardman to come, and this speed alone was already above me!" As for him killing two scouts with two swords, he shot ruthlessly, I believe that it is impossible for his hands not to be stained with blood, I know that I can't think of a famous weapon master for a while?"
"Powerful people don't have to be famous, aren't you all like that?" Siassi spoke, first giving a slight compliment to her subordinates in one sentence, and then continued: "The key problem is that this lizardman is by no means the strongest in that team, the weapon masters attack quickly and fiercely, but they don't seem to be good at spotting scouts who are hiding their whereabouts, right?
"That's right!" a Naga Magister of the Electricity Department also spoke, "I vaguely felt some kind of unpredictable mana fluctuation from that team, but unfortunately the Reflection Crystal could not reproduce all this truthfully. However, as far as I know, if you want to detect a scout who is hiding 500 meters away, it is nothing more than that you are also very good at this skill, using the two factors of detection magic detection, the former means that the team has at least one assassin or shadow thief who has reached the peak of strength, and the latter, well, at least one archmage, or even multiple archmages taking turns casting spells to maintain magic like 'magic vision'. β
This analysis was agreed by everyone present, so everyone's eyes were focused on Trinoch and Siassi, waiting for the two of them to decide. Cui Nuoqi's heart was very unwilling, the whole battle plan went smoothly, but at this time, a strong mysterious team appeared, and judging from the other party's merciless killing of Naga scouts, most of them were hostile to their own side, in this case, if they continued to launch an attack on the Yurutel Valley, it was very likely to collide head-on with this mysterious team, and conduct a completely uncertain battle in the other party's familiar field, which is a taboo in war, and a little carelessness is likely to be the end of the entire armyγ
So Commander Trinoch sighed, he looked around, and saw the same expressions on the faces of the others, but as the commander of the entire battle plan, Trinoch still resisted the urge to take a risk in his heart, and said in a regretful tone: "The current enemy situation has changed, although it is a pity, but we must suspend the next attack plan......
Before Commander Trinoch finished speaking, he heard a gloomy tone sound: "Is it a pity? It's not a pity for me to say it! Presumably you guys were slaughtering the fishmen here some time ago, right? Very good, let me finish you all today!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the entire camp was surrounded by patrolling Naga warriors, and none of them noticed that they were approaching by the enemy, and when their eyes fell on the person who appeared to speak, they immediately realized that he was the lizardman who had just slaughtered several Naga scouts. Almost immediately, Siassi felt some kind of coercion from the lizardman that was very similar to her teacher, and she immediately cried out: "Be careful, he is not a weapon master at all, but a legendary powerhouse!"
