Chapter 257: Raid on the port of Covid
Faced with the new task, Mu Li muttered disapprovingly.
"It's just that it's easier to save people, is it worth taking such a big risk?"
"Not only will our people be saved, but I will also keep their people. Gendry put down this sentence sonorously, "Do you have any more opinions?"
Mu Li and the three of them shook their heads in unison, and even their bodies involuntarily straightened up.
Well, that's a good point, this is the real, bloody soldier!
Mu Li couldn't help but admire in his heart, and quietly stretched out his thumb.
This is a sneak attack battle, led by Mu Li, Theron and Vincent respectively, and completed together, if it weren't for Mu Li's unexpected appearance, Gendry would have been under more pressure, and he might have to fight in person, but now he only needs to stay in the rear, and command the troops to quickly enter the harbor after the sneak attack is successful, or in case the operation fails, to ensure the retreat of the army.
Although a large number of mercenaries retreated to the vicinity of the harbor, they were not allowed to enter the harbor, and could only wait on the periphery, and only after Icanathan's transport ships were idle would they have their place, so there was no need to consider the combat strength of this part of the people for the time being, and it was enough for Gendry to send someone to watch them.
The personnel should not be too fine, so they only brought a dozen soldiers, three people entered from the three directions of the harbor, as long as they controlled the command center, they had more room to maneuver, this is indeed an adventure, an adventure that involves a hair and moves the whole body, three people and three teams, neither side can make a mistake, and the follow-up entry of the large army must act quickly.
The plan was to sneak in in three directions at the same time in the early hours of the morning, and after everything was agreed, Mu Li seriously and silently analyzed the operation in his heart, which was nothing more than victory or defeat.
If they lose, they can just leave, but the miners may never be seen again, and if they win, it is interesting, and the most obvious fate is to hold the harbor and wait for rescue - it is incredible to think that they are a rescue force and finally become a rescue team.
But it is absolutely impossible for them to watch their own people being plundered by the enemy, and it is impossible for that group of people to burn and loot on their land and then let them go away easily—this is the fundamental reason why Gendry has taken the risk of launching a sneak attack.
Before acting, Mu Li took out the liquid he had drunk before.
"Boss, what are you drinking?" Wren asked.
This time Mu Li didn't shy away from everyone, she hesitated to let others try this thing, the previous battle sacrificed too much, exposing their physical exhaustion, and the next battle was a tough battle.
No matter what, it's better than dying here, one more point is one point to win.
"Dilute this in water and all of us drink a little bit. Mu Li took out the third bottle of bright red liquid and handed it to the curious Wren.
Wren looked at the things in his hand, and then saw that Mu Li's face did not change color and his heart did not beat and poured down a whole bottle, and handed it to Luka to handle, while he continued to pester Mu Li.
"Why can you drink a whole bottle, but we have to share a bottle with dozens of people?
Mu Li stared at Wren for two seconds, and the corners of his mouth twitched down very much.
"Which of you dozens of people can beat me. ”
Look, what a simple and crude question, Wren could only shake his head.
"And what nonsense are you talking about?"
"But we must have fought together, and this ratio is definitely not right. ”
"Get out!" Mu Li scolded with a smile, too lazy to talk nonsense with him again, she hadn't used this thing before, who knows how serious the side effects are, whether she can bear it or not, and the others don't follow suit.
When Wren saw the strange painful expressions after everyone drank the liquid mixed water, he completely gave up the idea of asking Mu Li for it, especially after drinking it himself, Mom, it's too hard to drink, bitter and fishy, it's not the common fishy, after diluting it dozens of times, the taste is still rushing straight to the head, Mu Li drank the whole bottle is no different from being tortured, she can actually raise her eyebrows without moving, monster!
Mu Li strictly ordered no one to vomit, and everyone could only swallow it stiffly, but soon they felt the amazing changes in their bodies, and a wave of power seemed to gush out from the deepest part of the body, even if there were injuries on the body, they could be completely ignored, and everyone's eyes met to convey each other's meaning: The things in Dongfang Mu Li's hands are really treasures.
Now is not the time to explain too much, since everyone finds it useful, then it is considered to be doing the right thing.
At the beginning of the operation, the dozen or so soldiers who followed Mu Li to participate in this sneak attack battle were all members of the Sky Squad, and no matter what, she couldn't let others follow her to take risks.
The fact that the three majors participated together and personally led the sneak attack was enough to prove its importance. And the excellent performance of the three of them in this operation did not disgrace their military positions.
The sneak attack starts in the early hours of the morning, finding the weak point of the protective barrier in each of the three directions, concentrating on opening a gap, and then returning the barrier to its original state after passing quickly before triggering the alarm, which is not difficult for those with a certain amount of magical cultivation. The only difficulty is the timing of the enchantment, and since there are three of them, it is necessary to ensure simultaneous action to minimize the possibility of triggering the alarm. If it was just a force, of course, it would be much simpler.
From sneaking into the port to occupying the command center, there were no major accidents or clashes along the three routes, on the one hand, because everyone acted secretly and quickly, on the other hand, thanks to the precise judgment and decisive command of the person in charge of the operation, and on the other hand, the port is now busy and chaotic.
In short, the infiltration was successful, Mu Li and the others arrived at the command center one after another, cooperated with each other, and gained control as quickly as possible. The protective barrier of the harbor opened, and a large force under Gendry's command swarmed in.
At the same time, the originally clear night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down. This was also planned, the army entered the harbor, and the accompanying mage troops joined forces to summon this torrential rain, which was used to confuse the enemy and create chaos, and the wind and waves inhibited the reaction speed and attack power of the Icanathan naval fleet.
By the time the protective barrier of the harbor was raised again, the fleet had completely lost its chance, and at the same time, all the magic cannons in the harbor had been aimed at the sea fleet, and the battle was forcibly confined to the interior of the port of Covid. The Ikanasin troops lost their unified command and were in chaos, and Mu Li and the others also issued erroneous orders to them through the command system from time to time, so although they were superior in numbers, they were captured in droves.
Mu Li probably figured out that the port of Covidsey would be occupied in the first place, and it should be in this way: first, the small force with flexibility and strong combat effectiveness - the troops hired by Icanathan, there must be many people with special abilities, and it should be easier to infiltrate the harbor than their warriors - infiltrate the protective barrier, and then occupy the command center and open the protective barrier.
The difference is the later action, when the barrier of the port of Covid's Dessay was opened, it was attacked by the enemy fleet, at that time, this port, there were only a few thousand garrisons, until recently Icanathan began to retreat, and the protective barrier and attack system were repaired and put back into use, but they did not use this mode of operation as a model, or because they relied too much on their own fleet, so that now their fleet is blocked out of the barrier, struggling in the wind and rain.
The sound of fighting in the harbor was accompanied by the sound of rain, which was deafening.
Mu Li and they were not too worried about this battle, the well-prepared regular army of Starmia could not deal with the headless flies who had lost their command? The most difficult part of the early stage was over, victory was only a matter of time, and now their first problem was to think about how to hold this harbor.
The rain couldn't rain all the time, and there were much larger ground forces stationed outside the harbor, and the Ikanathan's fleet was eyeing the sea...... They heroically threw themselves into the wolves as sheep and threw themselves into the pack.
Theron hurried over, knife in hand: "Their commander-in-chief is not here, on the ship." ”
Mu Li smashed his fist on the table next to him, although he had predicted it, his disappointment was uncontrollable, after all, it was probably the most powerful card.
Vincent said calmly: "Don't worry about him, arrange everything that can be arranged at the moment, leave it to the two of you at the command, and I'll go and ......."
Vincent, who was talking, suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and he didn't know who was the first to take the lead, and the people around him craned their necks to look up, so that he had to interrupt his speech, and at the same time an invisible commotion spread through the crowd.
Vincent raised his head and followed everyone's line of sight, and through the broken roof of the headquarters, which had more than half collapsed, he could directly see the protective barrier outside, which was supposed to be a torrential rain and a cloudy sky, but now it was obscured by an even darker object.
The darkness covered the barrier, slowly squirming, and a blood-red eye suddenly popped out, staring at the people inside the barrier.
"What's that?"
"Is it a monster? such a big ......"
"Monster!"
"Shut up!" Vincent roared angrily and suppressed everyone's discussion, "It's just a bigger phantom beast, what a fuss, what a system!"
Bigger? Is that a normal big thing? Besides, no one can see what that thing is, how do they know that it is a phantom beast? But as soon as Vincent reminded them, everyone finally calmed down, no matter what it was, it couldn't break through the barrier, it was useless.
Under Vincent's command, the others were busy, except for Mu Li and Greek, who were still standing and staring at the behemoth.
The sky was dim, and it was impossible to see what it was, but when it raised its head and left the vicinity of the barrier, its head was raised and its body curled up to the outline of a giant python.
