Chapter 331: Reconnoitring the Enemy

readx;

In the darkness of the night, a group of about fifty people crossed the Sit Bridge and made a rapid advance towards the Sith border. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

These people are all soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion of the 2nd Iron Division.

"Staff Officer Xia, this terrain is good for blocking" Looking back at the Pecos River and the Sit Bridge behind him, a middle-aged officer beside Staff Officer Xia couldn't help but sigh, "The river is turbulent, and there is only one bridge on the river that can be passed.

The officer's name was Charles, and he was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

Mogo had always seen the Scout Battalion as a sharp knife, and Charles was the one who wielded it.

After deducing that the Blood God Cult might launch an attack on the West Fortress, Mogo sent Staff Officer Xia to lead this sharp knife to the border with him, reconnoitring the movements of the Blood God Cult army, and at the same time looking for an opportunity to spy on the combat effectiveness of the Blood God Cult army, laying the foundation for the second division's future battle with the Blood God Cult.

"Mr. Charles, first of all, I have to correct that I am the Chief of Staff, not the Chief of Staff, and if you are not accustomed to calling me Chief of Staff, you may call me Mr. Charlotte. Secondly, please don't compare the Blood God Sect army with the ordinary army on the mainland, otherwise the scout battalion's knife may be curled. Staff Officer Xia said angrily, "Finally, what I want to say is that if you plan to be the husband of the Guan, I will be happy to fulfill you." ”

Charles smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "Chief of Staff, please forgive me." You know, the title of Staff Officer Xia is a habit of the division commander, and it can't be changed for a while. ”

After Mo Ge arrived in the Second Division, Staff Officer Xia has been inseparable from him for everything, so that all the officers and soldiers of the division know that there is a Staff Officer Xia next to the division commander. After the restructuring of the Black Eagle Army, the post of chief of staff was also established in each division and regiment, and Staff Officer Xia became the chief of staff of the Second Iron Division.

Of course, this is not that Mogo is nepotistic, but that this Xia staff officer does have extraordinary ability.

He is cool-headed, quick-minded, and neat, and can take care of the big and small affairs of the second division in an orderly manner, so that Mogo's life is very leisurely. What's more. On several occasions at critical moments of the battle, he successfully dissuaded Mogo from giving up his overhead and making a decision, saving not only Mogo's life, but also the Second Division.

But. In an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness and brave and aggressive officers and men, he was too bookish to win the respect of the majority, and this did not improve significantly after he was promoted to chief of staff. The officers and soldiers still regarded him as the red staff officer Xia next to the division commander, and often ignored his identity as the chief of staff of the second division.

Charlotte smiled bitterly: "It's okay, in fact, I'm used to it." ”

He knew it in his heart. If he could not lead the troops to victory in a battle as chief of staff, he would probably find it difficult for him to gain the approval of the officers and men of the Second Division. And the Blood God Cult army, which may launch an attack on the fortress of Sith, is his best chance to prove himself. I don't know what kind of monsters are coming to the Blood God Church this time. If it were only the Blood Fiend and the Blood-Cloaked Emissary, the Love-made and Magic Spear in our hands would be able to kill these guys with ease. As long as we put a regiment at the head of the West Te Bridge and equip it with enough firepower, it will not be easy for the Blood God Cult army to capture it. Charles continued.

"Do you know the lethal effect of Love-making and the magic spear on the Blood God Cult army?" Charlotte Path.

"Yes. I have some friendship with Heda, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the Black Hawk Special Operations Group. He had told me in detail about their battles in the Sith against the Cult of Blood Cult forces. Love's throw it into the heap of blood demons, and that's a blast," Charles said, his eyes shining.

Charlotte was lost in thought.

"If the Blood God Cult really fights, we can also have a good time, this soldier is really no different from going to prison," Charles still said to himself. The arrival of the war land filled this veteran with a full body.

"If the Blood God Sect really comes this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with. Charlotte looked at the endless darkness in the distance. Said worriedly.

"Why is that?" Charles asked, puzzled.

"The Blood God Cult fought against the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade, and was later attacked by the Cavalry Division, so they should know enough about the Black Hawk Legion. If the Blood God Sect comes, it will naturally come for the Black Eagle Legion, and they will have something to fear. So, our mission is crucial," Charlotte sighed. He finally understood why Mogo had to arrange for him to move with his troops during a small reconnaissance, because the results of this reconnaissance would determine the enemy policy of the Second Division and the entire Fortress of Sith to some extent.

Charles thought about it. Raising his head, he looked at Charlotte as if he had known him for the first time.

At dawn, the Scout finally spotted the Cult of Blood soldiers on the border.

"It seems that your guess is correct. At least a few monsters around the blood-clad messenger, I've never heard of them. Looking at the few bloody skeletons that were carefully searching along both sides of the road under the command of a blood-clothed messenger, Charles was hiding in the grass hundreds of meters away from the road, and whispered to Charlotte.

Charlotte's gaze was also drawn to this new monster that had never been seen before.

"If someone had told me that skeletons could still be soldiers in battle, I would have thought he had lost his mind," he said, looking at the skeleton warriors who were faithfully fulfilling their mission. Charlotte couldn't help but shake her head.

"If anyone tells me. Skeletons can also be scouts, and I'll be sure to give him a punch. Charles looked at the skeletons that looked like his companions. Smiled wryly. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the appearance of those skeletons made him unable to distinguish whether he was on earth or hell in front of him. Although the Blood Demon and Blood-Clad Emissary who had been wreaking havoc all over the continent in the past few months were terrifying, they made him feel more disgusted, but these creatures from hell in front of him gave birth to a real fear in his heart.

For many years, living skeletons, which only existed in the legends of the continent and people's nightmares, were called the undead and were the messengers of death in the world. Now, as soldiers of the Blood God Cult army, they appeared in groups and appeared alive in the sun. Think about the future, I will deal with these messengers of death, every sword and every sword. It was all to a pile of bones, and Charles couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

After the initial shock, Charlotte quickly regained her composure. The actions of the Scouts of the Blood God Army caught his attention. According to his knowledge of the Blood God Cult army, this star monster. In all wars, they have killed wherever they went, without scruples, and rarely have such a cautious approach. The fear of human nature and the low combat effectiveness of the army make it impossible for them to take any precautions before the battle starts.

"There should be an army of the Blood God Cult behind them, we need to be careful. Charlotte said.

After avoiding several groups of Blood God Scouts, the Scouts finally spotted the shadow of the Blood God Cult army. When a dense group of skeletons came into view. And when they marched forward like human soldiers, they were so shocked and frightened that they all lost the ability to speak.

"It looks like there are about 4,000 people. Charlotte was the first to come back to her senses, "Except for a small number of blood-clad messengers in command, they are all skeletons. ”

"This Blood God Cult is too capable of tossing. The living turned them into monsters. The dead have also turned them into skeletons," Charles cursed under his breath.

"Dead people?" Charlotte snorted coldly, "The blood stains on those skeletons haven't dried up yet, I'm afraid they just got it from the living, it seems that the Blood God Sect doesn't care how many people die in order to win this battle." If the cult is not extinguished, I am afraid that sooner or later we will not be able to escape such a fate."

Charles stared blankly at the bloody skeleton in the distance. Charlotte's words made him feel a chill in his heart.

He seemed to see the flesh and blood of the living slowly dissipated. A skeleton came out of the pool of blood and gradually gathered into an army of skeletons in front of him.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and complete the second task"

"Okay, I'll go grab two bones and bring them back to the division commander. ”

After the gunshot, the blood-clothed messenger who was leading the blood skeleton to search along the road suddenly bloomed at the center of his eyebrows, and his body fell to the ground limply.

Morse waved the magic gun in his hand: "Up"

Several members of the team jumped up from their lorks and ran quickly towards the Blood Skull.

When they were still about ten meters away from the blood skull, the team members raised their hands high. Several large nets flew out from behind him, covering their heads towards several blood skeletons who were mechanically twisting their heads in search of the source of the gunshots. These large nets, woven from a special type of rattan, are not only tough and wear-resistant, but also extremely lightweight enough to carry around, making them the best tools Scouts use to scratch their tongues.

Several blood skeletons were suddenly tightly covered by a large net.

The scouts quickly tightened the ropes in their hands.

Seeing the monster fall into control, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tell your brothers to be careful" Charlotte felt her heart tighten as she looked at the ropes that were gradually taut.

"You guys. Past. The muzzle of the gun is aimed at the monster, and there is a strange movement. Shoot immediately," Charles nodded and commanded the soldiers beside him. The first time he dealt with this kind of monster, he didn't dare to be too careless.

At this moment, the field has changed.

"Whew"

One of the Blood Skeletons let out a terrible scream, and its two bony arms burst through the web, clutching the rope that wrapped around them in their hands.

The Blood Skull Ground Arm fluttered wildly, and the three Scouts stumbled out of the grass and down the middle of the road.

"Shoot, kill it," Charlotte yelled.

The sound of gunfire was incessant.

In the sound of gunfire, blood flashed.

A soldier who fell in front of the Blood Skull was stomped on the chest by the Blood Skull. The tremendous force made the blood skull's foot easily penetrate his chest, bringing up a blood flower.

"Jace" Charles cried out and pulled the trigger of the magic gun hard.

The bullets of the magic spear kept hitting the blood skeleton and was bounced away again.

Although the body was beaten to the ground, it was clear that the Blood Skull was not seriously injured.

The bloody skeleton trampled on the soldier's corpse, howling incessantly, and his eyes flashed red in the direction of Charlotte and Charles.

"You take everyone out, I'll save those boys" Seeing that several other blood skeletons gradually broke out of the net and moved towards the soldiers who fell to the ground, Charles hurriedly said a word to Charlotte, and then held the magic gun and threw himself into the field.

"Come on,," he cursed, pulling the trigger and firing a shot to change targets. It quickly caught the attention of the Blood Skeletons.

Charles was also full of fear of the Blood Skull in his heart, but this did not prevent him from rushing forward in the face of danger at all.

On the battlefield, a real soldier always values the lives of his comrades more than himself. When they give their backs to their comrades with peace of mind. This means that they can use their chests to block the enemy's swords for their comrades.

In his eyes, red from excitement and pain, there were only his soldiers, the few soldiers who had fallen beside the Blood Skull and could die at any moment.

Several soldiers in distress took advantage of the Blood Skull's attraction to Charles and fled the field quickly.

A bloody skeleton stepping on Jace's corpse. Suddenly, he rose from the ground and flew towards Charles in a volley.

The magic gun has run out of bullets.

Charles looked at the bloody skeleton in the air, smiled evilly, and pulled the fuse that Love had made in his hand.

Charlotte did not retreat with the soldiers.

He stood still, calmly staring at the blood skeleton in the air. Behind him, the remaining forty soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment gathered, each holding a magic spear in his hand. Aim with your heart.

The eyes are crosshaired blood skeletons, three points and one line, and the muzzle of the gun slowly adjusts as the blood skeletons move in the air.

"Shooting"

At the moment when Charles unscrewed the Love-made fuse, Charlotte gave the order.

"Damn, I don't believe it, I can't kill you" The "squeak" sound made by the burning of the fuse made by Love made Charles feel very enjoyable. These unkillable monsters. It brought him extreme frustration and made him desperate.

"Left-hand direction, aim and shoot"

"Straight ahead, aim and shoot"

Love's smoke was still rising, and Charlotte was constantly giving new orders.

Charles was surprised to find that the blood skeleton in the air seemed to have been suddenly hit by gravity, flying high like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground, struggling but never able to get up again.

And the same thing. It also happened to other Blood Skulls.

A moment later, the monsters that had been fangs and claws, and were invincible, were all lying on the ground, completely losing their combat effectiveness.

"Charles, if you don't throw that thing out of your hand, you're going to be strong" Charlotte's laughter came from behind her, and Charles was immediately awakened.

"Battalion commander, throw it away," the soldiers shouted.

"My day" Charles violently attacked his whole body. Holding the figure made by Love as if it had been burned with a soldering iron. With a strong shake, Lovezao flew out with a "whoosh". Blow a half-dead blood skeleton to pieces on the ground.

Next, the Scouts dragged several Blood Skeletons together and sent them to Hell with a Lovecraft.

"What the hell was going on just now?" On the way back, Charles asked Charlotte as he fiddled with the bloody skull stump in his hand.

"I've been watching these skeletons while I'm fighting. I found that the scattered shots of the magic spear, although they could not hurt them, still had a great impact on them, and this impact force would not hurt them, but it would definitely have a certain destructive effect. They're terrible, but they're just skeletons of bones, not steel. Watching you walk there with a smoking Love, but the damn rush I came up with the idea of shooting in a group to prevent our reconnaissance battalion commander from being brave. You often tell me that the reconnaissance battalion is the sharpshooter battalion of the 2nd Division, and I am sure that the soldiers will not let me down. Luckily, they did, basically taking out a blood skeleton in one salvo," Charlotte explained.

"Isn't that also red-eyed, seeing the enemy kill my person in front of me, but we can't kill it, my heart is in a panic" Charles, who picked up a life, remembered the situation just now, and still had palpitations. If he were to stand still with a lov that could explode at any moment, he would bet his legs would go limp.

"As a commander, no matter what happens on the battlefield, you must not lose your mind, otherwise you will not be able to control the development of the war. No matter how strong the enemy is, there will be weaknesses, and you must calmly observe, think, and judge to find this point and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. You know, it's good to have courage, but if you use it at the wrong time, it will only add unnecessary casualties to the troops. Charlotte said earnestly.

Charles sighed when he heard this: "I always thought that you were close to the division commander. I sat in the position of chief of staff, I didn't expect you to really have goods in your stomach, Charles was taught. ”

In the conference room, Mogo and Naya looked solemnly at the bloody skull stump on the table, lost in thought.

After reporting the situation. Charlotte stood silently, waiting for the two to ask questions.

"It seems that what we are facing is the real elite of the Blood God Sect" Naya was the first to break the silence, "The four thousand people found by the reconnaissance battalion are very likely to be the vanguard of the Blood God Sect. If the Blood God Cult army is assembled. It will surely swoop towards the fortress with a thunderous force, and it will not advance as cautiously as it does now. I think that this explosion in the Sith broke their original battle plan, so they sent 4,000 troops for a tentative attack. ”

Mogo walked over to the table and pointed to the stump of the bloody skeleton. He said in a heavy tone: "Four thousand such monsters, it's not easy to deal with, the magic spear can't do much to them, although Love's creation is effective, but the number is really limited." I've already tried it, and even if I hit this bone with a hammer, it will take about a dozen strokes to make a crack. Staff Officer Xia also mentioned it just now. These monsters are several meters high in a single jump, and the walls of the Sith Fortress are more than ten meters high, and they can't stop them at all. ”

"Counselor Xia, do you have any good suggestions?" Mogo habitually asked his chief of staff.

"Commander, I have two suggestions. First, these skeletons of the Blood God Sect have no human minds, and they are all commanded by the blood-clothed messengers. We can concentrate the sharpshooters inside the fortress and snipe the blood-clad bringers. This can easily cause confusion in the enemy's territory and disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm. Second, to gather the lovs of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Iron Divisions and use them at critical times, and at the same time report to the corps commander and request that as many lovs be mobilized as possible from the city of Priseli and the Daxingshan base. In addition, I don't think it's the way to defend the fortress, considering the incredible combat power of these skeletons, once the enemy attacks the fortress. Our army is bound to face huge casualties. Charlotte replied. Naya listened to Charlotte's words. couldn't help but nod slightly: "Staff Officer Xia is reasonable. We must try to disrupt the enemy's chain of command. The skull land threat is much weaker. In this case, I immediately ordered the sharpshooters of the first and third divisions to be mobilized, and all the lovers of the two divisions were stationed in the fortress. After these people arrive, General Mo, you will be responsible for arranging. As for asking for help from the city of Priseli and the Daxingshan base, I don't think it's necessary for the time being. The production capacity of the Daxingshan base has reached its limit, and the city of Priseli also needs to prepare for war, so let's rely on ourselves first. ”

With that, Naya walked to the front of the map.

"The fortress's defense system is extremely powerful for the human army, and it can also play some role against the undead creatures of the Blood God Sect. However, I don't plan to defend the fortress to the death, I want to lead the Fire Phoenix Legion to take the initiative to attack, set up an ambush on the route of the vanguard of the Blood God Cult, and give them a head-on attack."

Mogo frowned and said, "If we take the initiative, our army will lose any defensive advantage. Crucially, those skeletons are very difficult to kill, and if they fight back against us, our casualties will be small. ”

Naya said, "I've taken that into account. I'm not going to go head-to-head with the Blood God Cult, but I'm going to use the terrain to complete an ambush. ”

"General Mo, please look here. Naya pointed to the map.

Mogo also walked to the map.

"Mount Sylman?" Right. Once the enemy had crossed the Pecos River, they had to cross the jungle below the hill to reach the fortress of Sit. The terrain here is complex and overgrown with trees and weeds, which will have a certain impact on the actions of the Blood Skull, which is very beneficial for us to ambush. Moreover, the weather is dry at the moment, which is also conducive to launching a fire attack. Naya nodded.

"Hmm. Mo Ge nodded, "Then this mission will be handed over to the Second Division, Your Highness, you are still in charge of the fortress, you are the commander of the entire fortress, and you can't easily get into danger."

Naya smiled: "Don't fight, general, this battle is indispensable for you." Naya has experienced a lot of battles in her life, and you don't have to worry about my safety. ”

"Your Highness, please command"

"Judging from the reconnaissance intelligence, I have to lead the Fire Phoenix Legion to complete the ambush preparations, and there is not enough time. I need the Second Iron Division to set off right away, and fight a beautiful blocking battle before the Blood God Cult army reaches the foot of Mount Sylman, and buy me a day."

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready right away," Mogo said, his spirits lifted.

"Remember, stick to the day," Naya admonished.

"It's the second division that will resolutely complete the task even if it fights to the last soldier" Mogo stood upright and gave a solemn military salute to Princess Naya.
