To be honest, I always thought that this battle would last for a long time, and even if Emilina's alliance sent troops to intervene, the demon would not retreat lightly, but continued to stalk Lai here desperately to scavenge for all kinds of resources. Because of the character of this creature, I know a little bit about the recent battles of Guò, and I think that they can be perfectly described in one word, which is shameless. The demons are well aware that the Alliance's forces can no longer be dispersed, so they will use the resources they have plundered from us to wear down their opponents, and when the Alliance is forced to withdraw, they will launch a major attack on us.

A brutal war of attrition is the last thing the Alliance wants, but they lack enough forces to defeat the demons. Even if we can get our help, but the gap between us and the demon in terms of weapons and equipment and even personal strength is very large, and even the strength to deal with miscellaneous soldiers has been exerted, and when facing the genuine bat wings, it is estimated that only Wang Yiping, who is driving a heavy hammer, dares to fight with the enemy.

Ordinary people don't have any drama at all.

After all, our strategic advantage is just a rootless pine, and it will be gone with any breeze blowing.

So no matter how you think about it, those bat wings have a huge advantage, if they're determined to be tough.

After lunch, bored waiting for reinforcements to arrive or the next wave of enemy attacks, Colonel Ding Xiangchen sent someone over and called me and Emilina to the headquarters of the coalition forces. Colonel Kjer of the Federation was also there, and looked full of eager and aggressive expressions.

A group of staff officers were arguing fiercely and quietly about something, and some even blushed and thickened their necks.

I deliberately ignored these staff officers, and after standing still in front of the two colonels, I asked with a little confusion, "So, uncle." What exactly are you going to do by calling us both here?"

After all, I'm not a soldier, Ding Xiangchen didn't have a good idea of what to say, so he could only rub his temples and sigh in pain: "Well." Forget it, uncle is uncle. I called you both in the hope that you would be able to carry out a mission, and of course, you have the right to refuse. ”

"Tell me about it. Emilina nodded lightly and said unhurriedly, her elegant image also affecting the others around her, quieting down the originally quarrelsome staff officers. "What kind of mission is it?"

Ding Xiangchen casually took a copy of Wen Jiàn opened it, looked at it and said, "Well, according to our observations, those monsters that are used by the demons as miscellaneous soldiers basically attack the position every half hour, and the scale of each time is not small. ”

"Wow, that's a bunch of hardworking guys. I couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of benefit did they get from the attack?"

"We were forced to retreat about 50 meters back and inflicted hundreds of casualties. The uncle shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although the battle damage rate of the two sides is not comparable at all, we already know that these monsters can be created, and the other side is clearly consuming us." But Zhou Yi. Don't you think it's been too long to be quiet on the battlefield during all this time you've had lunch?"

"So it seems like it's ......," I stroked my chin and groaned for a moment, revealing an expression of sudden realization, and slammed my palm hard, "I see, it must be the behavior of Lieutenant Hansen's group of soldiers who are not afraid of the sky and the earth to take the monster corpse and roast it to eat, which stunned the enemy on the other side, and frightened the monsters who were pouring on the spot, so they no longer dared to attack." ”

Uncle Ding Xiangchen suddenly squirted out, hurriedly put down Wen Jiàn, and looked at me in horror: "Wait, what did you just say? The soldiers of the Federation took those monsters and roasted them and ate them!?"

"Oh. That's it. Emilina suddenly answered indifferently beside her, "I happened to see it when I came back." I tasted it with Sister Zi, and it tasted pretty good. ”

What the hell is the meat so hard that it's hard to bite and jerky to swallow!?Are you eating monsters that look strange or game hunted from nature!?

I don't know when Yakumo Zi, who quietly appeared next to her, squinted her eyes and half-covered her face with a paper fan and added, "Although there is a bit of a bad smell, it is only because it has not been carefully cooked." As long as you have the cooking tools and condiments of ordinary families in the Tang Empire, any person with intermediate cooking skills can also use those meats to make good dishes. ”

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't petrified at this moment, but I kept trying to move my lips and said, "This—this must not be true......

The 17-year-old youkai didn't hesitate to give me the final blow: "Of course it's true. In fact, the last battle between the two sides before lunch was caused by the collection of corpses, but the humans failed to rob each other. ”

I couldn't help but roll to the ground on the spot.

"Then, the demons who relied on picking up corpses to replenish the battle-damaged troops were frightened after discovering that all the humans were Bei Ye, and they no longer dared to act rashly?" Colonel Kjer said with his hand on his forehead with a black line, "My God." Dare we not use our guns to repel the enemy, but to scare them away with our teeth?"

Lying on the ground, I had not yet recovered from the previous shock, but Emmilina followed closely behind Mr. Colonel and asked, "Why, is it possible that the demon has taken the initiative to retreat?"

Ding Xiangchen, who was in the midst of the five thunderstorms, hurriedly patted his cheek hard, and continued to look down at Wen Jiàn and coughed: "Although it is impossible to confirm, those battleships are indeed missing, so we believe that the main force of the demons has withdrawn from here, and all that remains are miscellaneous soldiers who can be abandoned casually." Of course, I don't think that the other party was scared away by the good teeth of our soldiers, and I don't know if the other party really left, so I need to conduct a reconnaissance. ”

"Emilina, is the kind of stealth magic used by the ships attacking elven towns just as effective against radar?" I scrambled to get up from the ground and asked, "Could this be a trap set by the other party?"

"That kind of magic can only affect the light, and it doesn't interfere with the radar, so it's less likely to be a trap. The blonde girl shook her head slightly and said, "But it's really strange, the other party obviously did not occupy a strategic advantage but only took advantage of tactics, why would he choose to retreat at such a time? ”

"Could it be that the succubus you captured earlier is true, and that the demon is indeed planning a retreat?" I posed a hypothesis with my index finger up, "and that would make sense." ”

"Then you're telling me a reason why the demon would choose to retreat?"

I couldn't help but be silent.

That's right, the enemy's retreat was too inexplicable. They did have time to make up something, but now it doesn't seem like they are planning to capture Yucheng, they seem to be focusing on the other races in the underground space, and even do not hesitate to draw troops that should have been used to attack humans, and most of the other party has been wiped out.

Why do demons do this, and what benefits do they get from it? These batwings would never do things without profit, and there must be some reason for them that we don't yet know.

"It seems that the key is still in those one-time magic arrays. Yakumo said leisurely behind the paper fan, "If you can figure out their specific effects, it will naturally be clear what kind of calculation the enemy is playing." But alas, they were destroyed so thoroughly that I didn't have the slightest recourse about it. ”

Emmilina stroked (or rather tugged) her ponytail and sighed, "There's no way, it's useless to force it." In any case, Uncle Ding Xiangchen should want us to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the main demon force, right? (Uncle nodded) Zhou Yi, are you going?"

"You have a clear expression that you are going, can I not go with you?" I decisively raised my hands in surrender, "As long as you find the enemy, you can't suddenly rush out and kill all directions." ”

Seeing that the blonde girl's face was not good, Kjair hurriedly smiled and waved his hand again and again: "That will not happen, the Federation will support you two with a small drone, and you don't need to get too close to each other to conduct reconnaissance." Also, if possible, I'd love to have the two of you get it back intact, because it's not cheap. ”

"Okay. "Emilina wasn't really angry, after all, it wasn't a day or two since I took the initiative to die, "When are we leaving? Before or after the reinforcements arrive?"

Compared to Kjer, Ding Xiangchen was obviously more familiar with the interaction between me and the blonde girl, and he didn't have the slightest intention of playing a round: "Well, it's better to set off now." So that when you have found the enemy's main force, and the sea of miscellaneous troops in front of the position has been confirmed to be scattered by no one in charge, we may as well decide what to let our soldiers do when the reinforcements arrive. ”

What Uncle said made a lot of sense, and Emilina and I couldn't help but nod in agreement. After taking the drone promised by Mr. Colonel from Captain Thomas, who had been summoned by Kjer with a pain-filled expression, the two of us quickly left the headquarters.

"What a mistake, I knew that this would be the case, I should have caught a demon with a high status, such as the captain of the battleship, and came back for careful interrogation. Emilina said regretfully as she put the man-portable drone into her storage space, "You shouldn't have deliberately caught a succubus to tease you." ”

“...... Did you deliberately capture her?" I could only say that it hurts, "Forget it, whatever, let's find out the enemy's main force first." (To be continued......)
