Although the reality is very different from what was imagined, the road to the outpost has been built anyway, and the convenience it brings to everyone will not change. As someone who has personally enjoyed this convenience, there is naturally nothing to complain about how Amberil paved the road in the first place. After all, it is the common pursuit of all builders in the world to adopt time-saving and labor-saving methods to achieve twice the result with half the effort, let alone in such a dangerous environment?

Of course, in addition to facilitating access, the road also reveals the exact location of the outpost. It was supposed to be a very stupid thing to do, but now it doesn't seem like it's going to be like that. Because it seems to us that the position will be hit violently as soon as it is exposed, and the alliance side will not know where the enemy is, so it will not be able to fight back, so it can only be beaten passively, but if you really think about it, you will find that there are big twists and turns.

First of all, the regional environment, this ghost place is thundering all day and night, and the power of lightning is quite large, so it is impossible for mechanical weapons to enter. Thanks to this, even if the demons learned the exact location of the Alliance outpost, they would not be able to request a firestrike from the rear to destroy it - the Mantius artillery could only be deployed where the Bat Wing Control Zone met the Thunder Plains, from where the outpost could not be reached.

Moreover, the demons who have been crushed out of the frontal battlefield will not blatantly deploy heavy artillery outside the defensive line, which will only become an excellent target for the alliance's mobile forces.

As for sending air forces to attack, it is even more impossible, there are even air warships that dare not enter, ordinary fighters and missiles will be struck by lightning in seconds after flying in, and then fall or even explode on the spot. In the same way, ground vehicles such as mechs are not much better, and they are destined to become ovens when they come in.

Of course, this also applies to the Alliance, where both sides have to rely on infantry in the end if they want to fight.

The second is the question of preemption, whoever gains a foothold first in the newly discovered area will gain a great advantage, even if it is Amberil, who has built an outpost with a large amount of materials using storage space and has already laid a solid foundation for the Alliance to expand its power in the Thunder Plains. So the question arises, how can we find out the enemy's location after a master of the thief-like profession who even the blonde queen voluntarily admits his skills and strength, only to return to the outpost with a funny exploding head of the avant-garde?

Obviously, the normal method of sending a large number of soldiers to scatter the reconnaissance and search will not work, and the demons will definitely do the same, and the scouts on both sides will probably encounter and fight before finding the opposing camp, which will only turn into a pointless tug-of-war.

That's why Amberil deliberately paved the road so that the demons could discover the outpost's location and come to the door on their own initiative. That's right, if you think about it from another angle, you will find that this is actually a ploy to lure the enemy actively, and it seems unpretentious - it has become a human habit to set up camp and build roads wherever you are, and it is absolutely impossible for the demon to suspect this.

Then, His Royal Highness only needs to lead his subordinates to make arrangements and fight a beautiful ambush battle, which can effectively annihilate the opponent's living force.

These high-level members of the alliance are all outside the specifications of the whole death, and they can play so many tricks by paving the road that was originally very ordinary!

The road stretched out through the grass, and occasionally half-man-high signs could be seen on both sides of the road, made of stones, but no braziers had been placed on top for lighting. On the way, several damaged road slabs and road signs can be seen, which are the work of demons, but for some reason they do not continue. Perhaps Bat Wings also understands that it is useless to simply destroy the road, and it is only right to find a way to sneak up on the Alliance's convoy.

....................................

Wait, I just seem to have something really amazing in mind!?

"Quack!" As if to confirm my bad guesses, suddenly some strange and terrifying beast cry came from the grass on the right side of the road, followed by several dark shadows, and the target was none other than us in the carriage.

A bolt of lightning happened to fall from the sky at this moment, and the instantaneous light made these dark shadows reveal their true faces. To be reasonable, it's the first time we've seen such a big praying mantis, and Ya's sickle can be used to harvest crops or human heads.

Of course, this is no ordinary praying mantis, they are about the size of a human, their bodies are originally emerald green and difficult to distinguish in the grass, but immediately after attacking, they turn an eerie purple red, and several barbs penetrate from their backs, making them look particularly hideous. If the insects in the Grull plane are usually this big and act collectively every time, maybe we should find their queen and talk about it?

Okay, I've seen the animals and plants that are native to this place, and none of them will grow into this ugly picture, and only the mass-produced monsters that have been fed by the demons will have barbs and fuchsia skin, these praying mantis are specially used by the enemy to ambush on the side of the road to attack the Alliance convoy, but we happened to bump into them.

"Ah, is this the mantis that the report mentioned recently that the demon arranged near the road to try to sneak up on the convoy?" Before I could react, the night that had been opening the way ahead had already appeared on the right side of the carriage at a very fast speed with a violent whistling sound, blocking the way of the praying mantis, "It seems to be very weak." ”

Before the words fell, the little black dragon raised his right hand and threw it on the face of the big insect that rushed to the front, reasoning, in the process, the latter not only slashed at the arm of the night with a sickle, but even opened its sharp mouthparts and bit her hand fiercely, but the result was a natural egg. Bet with the furball that I definitely heard the screeching sound of sharp weapons scraping against the metal surface, as if the mantis was attacking not the slender arms of the black straight loli dragon, but the frontal armor of the main battle tank.

Well, I think I can go back and wash and sleep.

The whole head of the mantis that was slapped on the cheek by the little black dragon flew out on the spot, and a lot of dark green liquid spewed out from the fracture and covered the night, the picture was so beautiful that Bai Lian was so frightened that she screamed on the spot. However, the little friends who were still stunned by the little idol finally came back to their senses and took action to protect themselves.

But it wasn't necessary, whether it was the barrier that Pearson hastily laid out, the defensive spell that Saliya held in her hand, or the Blood Spell Soul Carving Strike that I had just pulled, none of them could come in handy. For a sudden lightning bolt fell from the sky that was so dazzling that it almost blinded mead, and devoured the vicious praying mantis and the nearby capsule, and the lightning shook the ground violently and ignited the weeds, after which a buzzing sound sounded in my ears, and then I realized that I had just been temporarily deaf.

"Everyone's alright, right?" said Emilina, who had withdrawn her right hand from the sky, but it sounded like she was in the water, "Recently, the demon's activity near the road has become more frequent, and everyone speculates that it may be because the other party has received reinforcements. This is not good news, it shows that the demon also attaches great importance to this place in the Thunder Plains, otherwise Mother would not have sent us to send reinforcements to drive ducks to the shelves. ”

I rubbed my ears vigorously to get my hearing back to normal, and when I looked again, the praying mantis had turned into black, smoky charcoal, and the night that had also been struck by lightning had turned into a hilarious exploding head, and she had been covered in some strange liquid, which was now roasted by the heat and gave off an impressive smell, so sour that it was unforgettable.

"Meow, what an exaggerated thunder, did you get it Emilina?" Since the carriage was very close, all of us were made messy in the wind by the waves of lightning, and Senior Sister Blue Feather, who was busy arranging her hair, was no exception, "Well, everyone is fine." Anyway, does it really matter if the enemy is ambushed on the side of the road like this, and frequently attacks the convoy?"

"It doesn't matter, the team in charge of transportation is guarded by special troops back and forth, and the teleportation array set up in the outpost will be operational in a few days, so there will be no need to trouble the transportation team at that time. Emmilina waved her hand indifferently, "If the demons want to do it, it must be set within a few days, and when the teleportation array starts working, they will have no chance at all." ”

No wonder the little queen decided to throw us over as reinforcements, you must know that although the city is safe for the time being, we can't be careless at all, we can't stay outside for a long time, and it's not a good idea to forcibly arrest everyone in this case. But if you only need to be in charge of defending the outpost for a few days, it doesn't matter.

"Can ordinary guards really handle those praying mantises? They are well hidden, and I don't even have time to react when they burst out. Saliya looked at the blackened mosaic on the ground with an emotional expression on her face and said, "No one was hurt this time because you are in the team, what will happen to the other teams?"

"Don't worry, you'll know why when you get to the outpost. This time, it was because I was in the team with Sumay, and my mother didn't think it was necessary to do that...... Anyway, you can see it with your own eyes. Emmilina said as she urged her horse to move on, "Come on, we still have a long way to go." ”

Since the blonde girl wants to sell Guanzi, I don't plan to ask, so I agreed with her: "That's right, this wilderness is not a suitable place for slow chatting after all, hurry up and hurry first." ”

To be reasonable, I'm actually very curious about how the alliance solves the problem of attacks, but we also have a deep understanding of Emilina's character, once she turns on the belly black mode, it is definitely the level of the earth-shattering ghosts, in order to avoid that situation, it is more appropriate to choose cold treatment when the girl deliberately sells off. Otherwise, once you fall into her trap, you really won't even have a place to cry.

Sure enough, I was always on the lookout for the blonde girl, and I soon saw her pouting a little unpleasantly, but she didn't say anything after all. This girl is probably thinking that someone is asking and then taking the opportunity to do something, but it's a pity that it's useless for us!

Neither Emilinor Aka Ye took care of the flames that ignited on the side of the road, allowing it to spread slowly among the weeds. The smoke was so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve in the blink of an eye, and it was hard to imagine how long the fire could last under such humidity. It didn't pose any threat like the flames ignited by lightning elsewhere, but served as a little light in the dim environment, if the smoke was left aside.

This place is indeed very unfriendly to humans, but it is a great hunting environment for monsters that produce bat wings. If it weren't for Amberil taking the initiative to lure the enemy into an ambush battle, I'm afraid that there would be more than that's the curious crawling active in the grass at this time. Even so, the demons still dare to ambush the alliance's convoy near the road, how rampant should they be when they are obviously at a disadvantage?

No, it's because they're at a disadvantage that the bat's wings are so rampant, because they know very well that they don't have a few days left to jump.

Along the way, everyone did not speak, but desperately stared at the movement in the nearby grass with wide eyes. Obviously, the friends were frightened by what had happened before, and they couldn't help but concentrate on their vigilance, and even the hairball on the top of their heads bounced back and forth to look left and right, as if they were about to find something suspicious before anyone else.

However, there was no need for it at all, and we hadn't encountered any low-level monsters since, and we hadn't harvested half a pack of spicy strips other than using green weeds to maintain our eyesight.

"Here we are. Emilina's voice shocked everyone who had been tired from the tension for a long time, and finally fell into a state of black lines, and when they looked up, the blonde girl was raising her hand and pointing to the position about two o'clock in front of her, "The outpost is there, let's hurry inside." ”

It was a small fort made entirely of stone, with two floors, and a stone brazier made of firewood and oil was used as a light, so that it could be seen even from a distance. To be reasonable, this is a huge contrast to the steel camp I imagined, and if it weren't for the fact that I had set out from the Shield of the Holy Wing, I would have thought that these people were in the Middle Ages.

After all, the stone fortress in front of him was so crude and rudimentary, it was impossible to imagine that it was a high civilization that was made of it.

It seems that under special conditions, the alliance will also use special methods to do things. (To be continued.) )
