Chapter Seventy-Three: The Commemorative Gift
It was not easy for this temporary team to run in place, but they didn't expect that Captain Cao would stop doing it if he didn't do it, which naturally made it difficult for other people to accept this result. What's more, they clearly feel that this mode of survival behind enemy lines is far more vivid and interesting than they imagined, and it can create more than enough opportunities.
"Yes, you don't have to question it anymore, although reluctantly, but now it's time for us to say goodbye to everyone. Your support for me at the beginning, through so many combat missions recently, must have allowed you to go back and have something to say, and if anyone still pursues it, it will be directly pushed to my head. "Head Cao has no regrets in his heart, but Head Cao is now more and more aware of the overall situation, and he knows what kind of decisions to make when are good for everyone.
As Commander Cao said, now the enemy has gradually paid attention to their team that is wandering around, and has made some adjustments to this reason, and it is obviously impossible to continue doing this. If you count it, you have indeed done a lot of things recently, but the brothers of the raiding group are still playing in the rear, and it is time to plan for their brothers.
"Having said that, it's really a bit reluctant to think that everyone has finally reached the current state of cooperation, but they have to part ways. Redick said sincerely, he can fully feel the changes of this team during this time, and it can even be said that this team has now developed a sense of dependence on Captain Cao.
"Commander Cao, what do you think of the current battle situation? Has our army of the Beamon Empire gained the upper hand in the frontal battlefield? Through the guerrilla warfare you led during this time, we have also created a lot of trouble for them. Jessica didn't say much, but it was clear that her emotions weren't high.
"Hey, it's complicated. From what I've observed during this time, what we've done is still very small. We're just harassment at best. It's hard to get them to really break their bones. To really inflict heavy damage on them, it still depends on whether the battle on the frontal battlefield goes smoothly. The only thing worth celebrating is that many of their troops on the front line are already in chaos, and it shouldn't be too difficult to clean them up. Commander Cao sighed, and had to admit that this kind of large-scale battle did not rely on a team like them to determine the direction of victory.
Head Cao said so. Reddick also suddenly understood a lot, and said: "The style of the Southern Barbarian Alliance is very ruthless, and we can really only create chaos for a while. They don't have a good way to deal with us at the moment, but they know what to do what's better for them. When the food, grass and materials were insufficient, they only cut the supply of those cannon fodder troops, and their real main force has been relatively intact until now. If they really come up with a way to clean up after us, the good days will indeed come to an end. ”
"yes, I didn't know how these barbarians could be so united, they've been until now. They are still in the process of increasing their troops, are they planning to take them all out in this battle?Where on earth did they find so many indigenous tribes to exhibit?" Ariza's heart was also very unbalanced, the southern barbarian coalition seemed to be unable to fight endlessly, since coming behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas, Ariza could see reinforcements arrive almost every day. In comparison, the Beamon Empire's side did suffer much more, and how much vitality they lost meant how many fewer men and horses they participated in the war.
"Forget it. We don't have to talk about this kind of unhappy topic, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Obviously, the barbarians in the south cannot be killed. Their performance like this will only make the people of our empire more capable of conquering them. Head Cao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, not having the same worries.
As far as we know, even the soldiers of our Beamon Empire are complaining in private when they fight in such an environment. Jessica frowned, she found that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Captain Cao's thoughts at all.
"yes. Of course, ordinary Beamon warriors complained, whether they won or lost the battle, for them, it was nothing more than that big of a deal. Being able to save their lives and go back to see their relatives is already their greatest wish. Interested in the government. Naturally, it will only be those high-level bigwigs of the empire. When it came to this issue, Head Cao was disdainful and disdainful, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with such a topic.
"What do you mean by that?" Redick was stunned when he heard this, and he also couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Captain Cao's thinking.
"Everyone, just think about it, why doesn't Lord Leonardo want to participate in this southern expedition? Commander Cao paused, and then said: "Perhaps Lord Leonardo has long expected that this southern expedition launched by our empire is not as glorious as those high-level figures say on the surface, and it will not rise to the level of protecting the family and defending the country at all. Take our main city of Memphis as an example, for so long, Memphis has already been built into a super barrier, as long as there is a team of elite soldiers and strong generals to stick here, the southern barbarians dare to come to harass them, and they will implement the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, what can the southern barbarians do?"
"Then according to what you say, why do we want to fight this southern expedition, isn't that an extra move? Playing with the lives of our Beamon warriors?" Redick was even more confused, as an upright knight, Redick obviously rarely thought about those issues at the political level, it was Leonardo who said that he would do it. This kind of cooperative relationship with Captain Cao, Redick thinks it's actually quite good, Captain Cao never cares what he thinks, and encourages him to say it, such a chief, Reddick really hasn't seen a few, maybe this is what makes Captain Cao really different.
"Isn't that obvious enough? The essence of this southern expedition is that we have waged a war of aggression and plunder, and nothing more, because the empire needs those precious natural resources that the southern barbarians possess. These resources may not be much to them, but in the hands of the Empire, they can play a huge strategic role. Our empire has also been recuperating for centuries. We may not have the strength to go north out of the Michel Jordan Snow Mountain to compete with humans, but it is not difficult to dominate the entire south of the Michael Jordan Snow Mountain. Perhaps the upper echelons of the empire have also realized that even south of the snowy mountains of Michael Jordan has boundless territory. We just need to turn our enemies into the barbarians of the South. "Captain Cao shared some of the things he wanted to understand during this time, which can be regarded as digging out his heart, Captain Cao rarely says so much to outsiders, and during this time, Captain Cao also likes this big gang of Fox warriors.
"I see!" Jessica nodded suddenly and said, "Then it makes sense why they are constantly increasing their troops here, as if they are going to fight us to the death." They must also know our purpose, so they want to keep us north of the Great Plains of Red Blood. Right?"
Head Cao nodded approvingly and said, "So, it's time for us to go back and report." At the current pace, I guess the General Command should also have a plan for the next step, they can't really accompany the barbarians here to spend and open up the road of resources for the empire, which is their main purpose. ”
"What are you going to do if this war is over?" Jessica stared at Commander Cao. It seemed that he also wanted to read something from Captain Cao's expression. Judging by Captain Cao's reputation as an outsider, this guy is also keen on the way of plunder. He interprets this aspect so thoroughly, presumably because this guy has the same calculation in his heart.
"Hehe, what's this......" Head Cao rubbed his hands and said without words: "Once the war is over, I will return to seclusion with my beauty and find a secluded and deserted place." The creation of man day and night has spread my fine blood. ”
This thing is obviously avoiding this sensitive topic, and his lewd eyes are also swirling back and forth on Jessica and Scarlett, as if he wants to discuss the possibility of cooperating with these two beauties in this human-making plan.
"Huh, huh?" Jessica shrugged her shoulders noncommittally. "Betrayal, conspiracy, lies, violence, madness...... In this era, what is surging is the restlessness of people's hearts. ”
Because of Jessica's words, Captain Cao stared at her for a long time, this Leonardo's pearl in the palm belongs to the kind of rich lady who can have whatever she wants, she shouldn't be so negative no matter how she thinks, Captain Cao feels that he doesn't seem to understand what Jessica is thinking in her heart at all. Including this time, Jessica rarely showed a good face to him, and it was definitely not because she was not feeling well, it seemed that she had some kind of transformation.
"Commander Cao, how are we going to retreat now?" Redick habitually spread out the strategic map, and now he has also developed a good habit, as if he has also completed a substantial sublimation.
Commander Cao pointed to the current location of everyone, and then drew a straight line on the map, and said: "Let's take this road, kill all the way back, defeat the two southern barbarian tribes that stand in our way, and we can go directly to our general headquarters, and you can also go by the way to complete a perfect debriefing, I don't know what you think?"
Whenever everyone thinks that Captain Cao will be normal, this thing will definitely make them change their minds immediately, and sure enough, this time Captain Cao's so-called retreat plan surprised everyone again. Before, Commander Cao led them to hide their heads and tails everywhere, and they had been deliberately avoiding the enemy's main force. But this time was different, because the two barbarian tribes on the retreat route planned by Commander Cao, one was the barbarian tribe and the other was the jungle tribe, both of which were large tribes with more than five thousand people.
Anyone who knows anything about the two intelligent races, the Barbarians and the Jungle People, knows that this is the real main force of the Southern Barbarian Alliance. And judging from their locations on the map, it can also be known that they are definitely not the miscellaneous fish troops that everyone fought before, this is the most capable type of the southern barbarian coalition army.
Indeed, no one can deny that the line that Captain Cao said is the best shortcut, after all, the straight line between two points is the shortest. But this route is also too unreasonable, judging from the location of these two barbarian tribes, there are also a lot of reinforcements around them, and it is a joke to want to chisel through these two tribes and kill them all the way back.
"Captain Cao, this joke is not funny at all. Reddick rolled his eyes, if he hadn't worked together for so long, if anyone said such a thing, Reddick would have pressed him to the ground and beaten him violently. Even on the frontal battlefield, those who are qualified to fight against the two powerful classes of barbarians and jungle people are at least the quasi-front-line warriors of the Beamon Empire. The warriors of the Firefox Legion belong to flexibility, and are not suitable for fighting such an enemy, once encountered, they must also avoid its edge, and let those strong allies around them solve it, Redick never thought that he would fight with such an opponent, which is almost equivalent to sending these Firefox Legion warriors to the underworld. If it were only their eighteen horsemen, Reddick would still have the confidence to kill them.
"What are you afraid of? Is Lao Tzu joking? After all, everyone has been working together for so long, and when it's time to part, I have to find a way to give you a commemorative gift, so that you can brag to others when you go back, right?"
"Compared to this kind of hard bones, I think we are still more willing to fight guerrilla warfare, such a simple and undifficult battle as sparrow warfare, at least we can continue to continue our myth of zero casualties, which is completely enough for us to brag about. Reddick said in a disdainful manner, and the other Smoke and Silver Knights nodded in unison.
This group of originally ordinary and noble smoke and silver knights has been inadvertently led into a lewd stream by Captain Cao, and they don't think that this kind of obscenity is contrary to their original chivalry. The period of teaming up with Captain Cao to level up has left a very deep mark on their lives, and it is estimated that they will all pass on this obscene spirit in the future...... (To be continued.) )
