Chapter 61: The Eve of the Great War

The bright moonlight sprinkled the earth, dotted with stars, and the beautiful scenery fell into the eyes of the centipede soldiers who sneaked all the way, leaving only a heart full of sorrow.

Tonight is to come and sneak attack, the night is dark and the wind is high is what they want, the moonlight is so bright is not intended to embarrass them!

To make matters worse, the enemy was so cautious that the camp was emptied on all sides, and there was not even a place to hide.

The centipede general who led the team no longer had the confidence to set off at this moment.

"Venerable Sayam, look?"

Although the centipede clan is a grass platform team, there are still rules for military orders. If you take the task, it must be done.

The centipede general could not afford to give up the task, so he could only pin his hopes on the powerhouses of the sacred realm who accompanied him.

If His Holiness had proposed to abandon the mission, it would have been completely different. These top powerhouses have the right to talk to the Centipede King on an equal footing, and it is not a big deal to cancel the task by making their own decisions.

"Later I will create chaos in the enemy camp, and you will wait for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Don't care about how many enemies you kill, the key is not to let the enemy sleep well!"

As he spoke, Venerable Saiyam also glared at the middle-aged centipede general.

These calculating tricks are all leftovers from the time he played.

Tonight, the moonlight is too bright for a sneak attack, and anyone can see it. But now they need time, and they must use all means to slow down the enemy's march.

The situation was even worse during the day, and they had to risk a sneak attack, and now they couldn't back down.

Slowly approaching the camp, there were patrol soldiers everywhere in front of him, and there were countless open and secret posts.

"Do it!"

As soon as the words landed, Saiyam's magic wand waved, and countless black shadows went straight to the defenders of the camp.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged generals who led the team turned green with anger.

was so messed up, where there was still a sneak attack, it clearly became a strong attack.

Typical pit teammates!

As he expected, the dark shadow summoned by Venerable Saiyam had just entered the camp when it was spotted by the defenders.

"Enemy attack!"

was discovered by the enemy, and at such a close distance, it was difficult to even retreat at this moment.

When he looked at Venerable Saiyam again, there was still a centipede shadow beside him.

Whether he went to the enemy camp to wreak havoc, or whether he had already run away in advance, is unknown.

Sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, which is destined to be impossible to dodge.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, the middle-aged centipede general immediately ordered: "Kill!" ”

After receiving the order, the centipede soldiers, who were lying on the ground, quickly launched a charge.

Under the moonlit night, the attacking centipede soldiers and the patrolling Terran soldiers engaged in fierce battles, and the blood stained the night red.

Receiving the signal of an enemy attack, the Terran soldiers who were sleeping got up one after another to put on their armor.

In the handsome camp, Hudson, who had not yet had time to sleep, was the first to step out of the headquarters.

"Another sneak attack by a small force!"

Knowing the truth, Hudson was speechless. It has always been him who sneaks up on people, how come this war is completely reversed.

It's not a decisive battle for the main force, it's just a small-scale sneak attack, and it's just a matter of leaving it to the generals on duty to deal with on their own.

Just now, he also sensed the aura of the Holy Domain, but when he arrived at the combat zone, where was there still the figure of the enemy Holy Domain.

"Maxim, Bear Stearns, did you sense a strange Sanctuary aura just now?"

Ordinary sneak attacks don't matter, if the enemy's Sanctuary powerhouse is also so shameless, it will be a big trouble.

"Naturally, I sensed it, but the guy released two spells before and after, and the breath disappeared.

Obviously, I came prepared, if I hadn't made a move just now, I would have almost been deceived! ”

Bear Stearns replied first.

Hudson didn't know what to say about the exact answer, it was the first time he had encountered such a timid sanctuary.

Compared with the Centipede Clan Sanctuary powerhouse that I met last time, they are completely two extremes.

It's a little cowardly, but doing so can really save your life.

If you are a little more bold and stay for a quarter of an hour longer, there will be another battle of slaughter tonight.

"The dark powerhouse is already good at hiding, and it is not difficult to hide from us without getting close.

Remember the breath of this centipede, and if you encounter it next time, you will directly find a chance to kill it.

If such a cautious enemy stays, sooner or later it will become a scourge! ”

At the moment of the dialogue between one man and one bear, the situation on the battlefield also became clear.

The defenders who reacted, relying on their superior forces, launched a siege and slaughter against the attacking centipede soldiers.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the middle-aged centipede general hurriedly ordered a retreat.

It's a pity that it's too late, they're encircled, and it's not up to them to decide if they want to leave again.

Venerable Saiyam, who had high hopes, did not appear again until they were surrounded and annihilated.

The fact that "outcasts attacking and harassing" is not respected militarily does not mean that its role is small.

After all this toss, Hudson's sleepiness was completely gone, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Fortunately, it was expected that the soldiers had been encamped in advance and let the soldiers rest for a few hours, otherwise I don't know how many people yawned tomorrow.

After a cursory understanding of the losses and results in the commander's tent, Hudson sent the generals down to rest.

As a Sacred Domain powerhouse, not sleeping for three or five days is a small problem, and you can persist in staying up for ten or eight days.

It's not the same with ordinary generals. If you don't adjust your state before the outbreak of the big war, it's easy to suffer a big loss on the battlefield.

"Marshal, something is wrong with the enemy's reaction. Even if it is a strategy to exhaust the troops, it should not only send this little bit of soldiers and horses.

If tens of thousands of troops had been dispatched just now, the battle situation would have been completely different! ”

Governor Pierce said with a solemn expression.

No matter how bright the moonlight is, it is still not as good as the day. Taking advantage of being good at night battles, the centipede soldiers, who had fewer troops, played a 1:1 record.

The situation would have been worse if the camp hadn't been heavily fortified.

If the number of enemy troops who come to sneak attack increases by a hundredfold, and the Terran soldiers are not used to the night, they may really be able to sneak attack.

"The enemy's sneak attack was indeed less than we expected, and all the means originally prepared were not used.

But tonight is a good time to sneak up!

The troops had just entered the 100-mile corridor and were completely unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. Ambush a soldier in the mountains and forests on both sides, and the probability of a successful night attack is at least 20%.

There are only two possibilities for the small fight just now: either the enemy has other plans; Either that, or they are strapped for troops.

Calculations, but also take into account the actual situation.

The hundred-mile corridor is such a small place, tossing in a limited area, and there are not many tactics that can be used.

What's more, they have just fought a battle with the Demon Beast, and the relationship between the two sides cannot be repaired immediately, so they can't outflank us from the Blackstone Mountain Range!

I'm more inclined to the latter than this low-probability event.

We don't know how far it will be from Inner Earth, but it won't be easy.

According to the information fed back from the Hessian battlefield, the centipede clan has invested more than 500,000 troops, which is definitely not a small pressure for a geocentric race.

If there were still hundreds of thousands of troops left, they wouldn't stop immediately after the last big defeat! ”

Hudson calmly analyzed.

Any clue on the battlefield is a source of intelligence. You only need to peel off the cocoon and restore the essence of things.

In military affairs, the probability of success will not be high if the military is dangerous.

With a win rate of 20%, it is enough to gamble.

If you don't dare to gamble, then don't take risks, no one can succeed in every plan.

Hudson had a very vocal say in this. The many tricks that have been carried out before have relied on the information difference.

If it weren't for the fact that the enemy didn't experience it, lacked experience in dealing with it, and didn't have any precautions in advance, it wouldn't have been so smooth and successful.

At this moment, the aristocratic alliance of the southeastern province is obviously prepared, no matter what tricks and tactics are used, the probability of success is unlikely to be high.

From the information analyzed, it is much easier to extrapolate the enemy's situation.

"The marshal means that the enemy does not want to fight us in a decisive battle, and now he is constantly sending people to sneak attacks, just to delay time.

But if the troops are insufficient, why should the enemy attack the Kingdom of Hesse in a hurry, are they not afraid that we will take the back road? ”

Governor Pierce said incredulously.

The result of speculation is really unreasonable!

I fought with them not long ago, and now I dare to expose my back to them, which is purely death.

"If you want to verify this question, you can only ask the high-level of the Giant Foot Centipede Clan!

Perhaps their brains have been eroded by the dark forces, and their brain circuits are different from ours, and they make decisions without thinking about the consequences.

Or they are used to being the king and hegemon in the inner world, and they have always been the only ones who bully others, and they have never suffered losses in this regard.

Or maybe the centipede king is mediocre and incompetent, and the court is full of traitors who smuggle their beards and shoot horses, and they make decisions in a daze.

……

All kinds of situations are possible, if you can use common sense, they will not invade my southeastern province before! ”

Hudson said, spreading his hands.

It's not that he's underestimating the enemy, it's really that the Giant Foot Centipede clan is doing too much.

The invasion of the southeastern province was the first time that a mistake was made, and it can be excused as a lack of understanding of the situation and a strategic miscalculation.

Then he expanded to the Blackstone Mountain Range and provoked the Demon Beast, which is a typical loss and does not learn a lesson.

If Hudson's reasoning is correct, now this is the third strategic blunder.

A race of strategic mistakes one after another, to say that there is no problem at the decision-making level, no one will believe it.

The essence of war is to avoid making mistakes as much as possible and then wait for the enemy to make mistakes.

No matter what is going on behind the scenes, since the enemy has made a mistake, it must be exploited.

……

Late at night, in the centipede camp, the high-level is still busy.

Venerable Saiyam hurried back to attend the meeting, and as for the team that was brought out to harass the enemy, naturally there was no shadow.

"Venerable, how are the results?"

The Centipede King asked with concern.

The strength in his hands is insufficient, and he has no confidence to do anything.

In the Inner World, the Giantfoot Centipede clan is considered to be the number one clan, but when it comes to the surface world, it suddenly becomes nothing.

This kind of gap is not acceptable to ordinary people. Fortunately, they are not the only ones who are suffering, and many of the geocentric races are in a similar situation.

Even the most down-and-out kingdoms, their comprehensive strength is not comparable to them.

The current situation is the best example.

The Kingdom of Hesse was defeated all the way in the early stage, and after gathering the private armies of nobles from several nearby provinces, they were a little unable to fight.

According to Marshal Howell's reply, it was not that he could not defeat the enemy, but that he could not achieve victory while preserving his own main forces.

A crushing victory is not a victory, the Terrans have a solid family background and can fail many times, but as long as they lose once, they will be out of the "continental game".

"We didn't suffer!"

Venerable Saiyam replied with a slight embarrassment.

Abandon his teammates, he doesn't want to. The team that was brought out was left with his own lone seedling, which was actually very humiliating.

It's better to lose face than to lose your life!

War always requires someone to sacrifice, and it is better to sacrifice your teammates than yourself.

Knowing that there were peak powerhouses in the enemy army, and being able to take the risk of a sneak attack, Venerable Saiyam thought that he had done enough.

"It's good that you didn't suffer!

The enemy is less than forty miles away from us, and if we do not interfere with it, tomorrow will be the time for a decisive battle.

At the moment in the camp, there are only three main corps and two logistics corps, and the forty-third and forty-fifth corps are expected to arrive tomorrow morning.

However, the 47th, 48th, and 49th legions will not be able to arrive until the day after tomorrow, and the four elite legions drawn from the front will not be able to arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest.

Now the competition is time, tomorrow's decisive battle we only have five main army corps and two logistics corps in our hands, if the day after tomorrow decisive battle will directly double the total strength.

If we continue to drag it back, the number of troops we can use will continue to grow.

Venerable Saiyam, I beg you to take someone on another trip, and you must not let the enemy sleep well tonight! ”

Listening to the words of the Centipede King, Venerable Saiyam's heart was broken.

It's okay to slow down the enemy's movement speed with the strategy of exhausting the troops, but can you change a centipede to lead the team?

The experience of dancing on the tip of the knife is enough once, and if you play like this often, something will happen!

"Your Majesty, the enemy powerhouse who shot just now has already locked my breath, and if I go over, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task!"

Venerable Saiyam politely refused.

The breath is obviously locked is an excuse, and if it is really locked, at least there will be a fight.

In terms of speed, the dragon flies much faster than him.

His instinct told him that if he continued to wander around, he really could lose his life.

Turning his gaze to several other Venerables, he found that they were all outside the world. Obviously, this kind of high-risk task is something that no one wants to take.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry!

If the enemy wants to start a decisive battle tomorrow, he must only do so if the conditions allow.

The Hundred Mile Corridor is just such a small place, and it just so happens that we are stationed in a narrow area.

The battle line was only a few miles in total, and no matter how the enemy attacked, the number of troops that could be invested was very limited.

With the strength in our hands, we will not be able to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but it will not be a problem to rely on the camp for defense and hold out for a few days.

What's more, only the enemy's front army units will be able to arrive tomorrow, and the rest of the troops are still on the way! ”

Prime Minister Javat opened his mouth to comfort.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much. The giant-footed centipedes that have just entered the surface world are full of pride.

However, with the increase in information collected by the siblings, coupled with the successive failures in strategy, everyone's confidence was suddenly lost.

Especially after learning about Hudson's record, everyone was even more worried.

As soon as he came out, he challenged the overlord of the continent of the Terrans, and he still fought against the strongest commander of the Terrans, and started the hell dungeon properly.

"Tiger's mouth grabs food", you need to fight for your life.

Prime Minister Jiawat's analysis relieved the centipedes.

The terrain is restricted, which means you don't have to worry about falling for the enemy's tricks.

"Well, that's it for now!

In addition to the Terrans, there is also an interracial alliance against them in the continent of Aslanth.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and while contacting the races of the Inner World, it is also necessary to get in touch with the Alien Alliance as soon as possible.

Prime Minister, you have to put a little more effort into this, no matter what, you have to find a way to drag the Interracial Alliance into the water!

We alone can't do this as a family, so we will lobby all the races in the Inner World as soon as possible to find a way to provoke a new round of continental war.

The Alpha Kingdom is not only our enemy, and this small contradiction between us and them is not enough for Hudson to spend here with us for a long time.

Once the continental war breaks out, as the commander of the army of the Alpha Kingdom, this person will definitely go to the prairie and preside over the great war with the orc empire.

Without this strong enemy on the side, the battle behind will be easy to fight.

If we can unite all races to defeat the Terrans, we can take advantage of the situation to occupy the northern part of the Hessian Kingdom and establish a ground kingdom belonging to our Giant Foot Centipede! ”

The Centipede King said passionately.

No matter how far you are from the success of the plan, the pie must be drawn first. To be a qualified king, you must first be an excellent cake master.
