"Huh?" Catherine on the other side let out a slight exclamation, and then completely stopped moving.

Catherine obviously didn't expect Leo to make such a decision, and she found the location of the lair in one fell swoop. After all, people with instantaneous memory abilities are too rare, at least she has never encountered them.

At this moment, the situation is reversed, and it is Catherine's turn to make a decision.

Either let the attacking troops return to defense immediately, and there should still be a chance to keep the lair, or let the enemy attack, and take the magic tower yourself.

Neither of these decisions was wise, however, and if the attacking forces were withdrawn and the enemy reacted quickly, he would likely be flanked from both sides. If you leave the nest alone, the problem is just as serious. Because it was from this area that the attacking forces she had mobilized came from.

In the unlikely event that the nest is quickly lost and the rear hole is opened, the enemy may even block the Mother Emperor's troops in the valley, causing them to lose the game outright.

"How did he find the weak point in the lair?" Catherine couldn't figure out, and in the end she could only attribute the situation to talent. And Leo's performance last night also made her more convinced of this.

Some people have a natural sense of strategy and are able to make the best decisions. There is no reason for this, and there is no way to explain it, in short, this kind of person is a natural war commander, a long-term victory general. There are also many records of this kind of thing in various histories.

And with this judgment, Catherine's thoughts became more and more overflowing, and even though she couldn't see Leo through the black fog, her eyes still sparkled.

That kid is too suitable for dimensional warfare, and he must find a way to get his hands on him, and then train him to become his most effective subordinate.

The few seconds of cranky thinking are also the most precious seconds. When Catherine came back to her senses, she realized that it was too late to rescue the lair, and the only thing she could do now was to take out the other party's magic tower.

on the sand table. Catherine's vanguard was the first to arrive on the battlefield, but instead of attacking immediately, she waited for the follow-up troops. According to the rules, the greater the difference in combat power, the smaller the losses will be suffered, and if two units with the same combat power fight, the result can only be the same death.

A few seconds later, the troops were assembled and the battle began.

Under Catherine's subtle control, the spiders lined up. Approach the Magic Tower. The Mothmen followed, with long-range strike capabilities but relatively vulnerable. Several statues, each of which advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, this kind of control was nothing at all for a level 8 mage.

In the blink of an eye, the distance had narrowed to within the range of the magic tower.

Leo continues to move his troops to pounce on the lair, while also distracting himself from controlling the magic tower to strike enemies. With a movement of his mental power, a small ball of electricity shot out from the statue of the Magic Tower, flying towards the nearest enemy.

Nothing came as a surprise to Leo. The speed of the electric ball is really very fast, and it is impossible to control the statue to dodge.

However, Catherine had no intention of dodging at all, and her troops were still in a tight formation, which was the most suitable for siege. Able to fully deploy firepower.

In the next second, a slight explosion sounded, and the spider statue hit by the electric ball burned its little flames.

But Catherine had expected that the statues around the statue were kept at a safe distance from it. Unaffected, it still maintained a steady pace, continuing to approach the magic tower.

Look at the flaming spider statue and still move. Leo had no choice but to come with another shot. At this moment, the statue was suddenly torn apart and completely removed from the game.

At this time, the other statues had already entered the attack range, the spider statue was directly close to the magic tower, constantly stabbing with sharp knotted feet, and the mothman statue launched a series of feather-like throws.

There were too many enemies, and it was a concentrated fire attack, and in the blink of an eye, the magic tower became crumbling.

Leo grabs every second to take down more enemy statues, and this time he chooses to target the more valuable Mothmen.

But Catherine had already anticipated this, so she adopted a special formation to protect the mothmen very well.

In the end, Leo barely managed to knock out two more spider statues before the magic tower could be destroyed.

On the other side, Leo's assault force managed to find their target's lair without incident. Since the combat power of the nest was only 1, he naturally did not have to worry about suffering too much loss, and after a little reconnaissance to determine that there was no defensive force, he directly launched an attack.

This process may seem simple, but it is not easy to actually control it.

First of all, to disperse the spiritual power into many parts, each one is connected to a statue, and to control them to move separately, it requires a strong mental power grasping ability. On his own side, he has to control the magic tower to resist, and the degree of dual-purpose also increases with the increase of distance.

It only took a moment for Leo to feel his head get heavy, but he was able to keep it up and not get scrambling.

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

The race is still going on, and the clock is running at a fraction of the hour.

But Leo no longer has the energy to pay attention to time, he must concentrate all his mental power, and even need to overdraw some of his mental power to maintain the current situation.

After successfully defeating the lair, Leo immediately followed Catherine's example and directly asked the troops to continue to advance, running towards the next lair. And in his hometown, he did not forget to arrange defense to deal with the large local forces.

In Leo's opinion, his response this time was completely reasonable and logical.

But he forgot the important point that war in many cases cannot be judged by relying on conventional logic.

In a matter of seconds, Leo found that his advancing troops were surrounded.

The forward route was blocked, the return route was cut off, and there was no other way to escape than to put on wings and fly away. It was just two breaths of effort, and the joy of victory was extinguished.

The bad situation didn't stop there, Catherine's assault force did not act at all as Leo guessed, but divided into three groups and attacked in three directions.

There are no magic towers in any of these directions, and it is not a problem to distract the combat power of the troops and destroy their own defensive units, mines, fortifications and other facilities, and if they are allowed to develop, Leo is sure that the entire western part of his sandbox will fall into complete passivity.

There is no way. He had no choice but to abandon the troops in front of him and send reserves to intercept the three invading forces.

For a while, Leo completely lost the initiative and completely fell into the quagmire of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall.

After concentrating, time always seems extraordinarily short, and more than ten minutes have passed in the blink of an eye.

Leo was already sweating profusely and desperately using his brain to deal with Catherine's wave of attacks. Now he finally realizes how big the gap between himself and the other party is.

The process of war is that the commanders of the two sides guess and deceive each other, and who thinks more deeply. The more accurately the enemy's intentions are judged, the more likely he is to grasp the victory of the war.

Since the attacking troops were surrounded and suppressed, Leo's way of thinking seems to have been completely grasped by Catherine, and all his next actions will soon encounter counterattacks, and even step into the trap himself, constantly being eaten away and weakened.

In order to get out of this situation, Leo naturally came up with the idea of taking a desperate gamble. That is to gather all the forces that can move, use your knowledge of the enemy's terrain, and kill all the way to the deepest, maybe you can catch the mother emperor squarely. And to do so. The enemy also had to draw a large number of troops back to the defense.

But before he could begin to implement his idea, Catherine's troops had already begun to move first, quickly cutting off the assembly route of Leo's several legions.

"Can this be seen too?" Leo became more and more confused, to the point of wondering if Catherine had cast some kind of undetectable mind-reading spell on herself.

Subsequently. He rejects this unrealistic idea. No matter how I say it, I'm also a level 4 mage, maybe a legendary-level mage can do this kind of thing, and it has to be a fantasy department specialty. But if a level 8 mage wanted to read his mind, he would never be able to do so silently.

"No, there's something wrong!" Leo pondered as he maintained a passive defensive position. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before it falls. Catherine was not only strategically astonishing, but also tactically sharp, and in a few minutes at most, her defensive forces would be divided and annihilated one by one.

At this time, four more Mothman troops and four Spider Demon troops crossed the boundary river and marched towards the battlefield.

"How come there is a new reserve team?" Leo was stunned, countless data flashed through his mind.

The next moment, a sudden thought sparked in and out, making him so excited that he almost cried out.

The rules clearly state that the combined combat effectiveness of the two sides is the same. And Leo knows very well that the combat power on his side is a total of 234, so the other party should also be 234.

Through his strong computing skills, Leo came to an accurate conclusion that by now, Catherine's combat power on the battlefield had reached 198, and now there were 12 more combat power, that is, only 24 combat power remained in her lair.

Deduct the lair itself and the power of the Mother Empress, and she will probably have no reserves!

"If I do my best to ensure that the two mage troops pass through the Boundary River, maybe I have a chance to capture her mother! Hmm, the concealment and success rate of the two forces will definitely be much easier than a large-scale assembly!"

Leo suddenly thought it was an opportunity, but he quickly hesitated again.

A few minutes ago, he was deceived by the other party and lost a total of 20 troops, so now, will this behavior of the enemy be a new trap?

"Did she deliberately draw my attention to this, and then take advantage of my opportunity to create a surprise attack and cause the defense line to loosen?" Leo subconsciously began to analyze.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, Catherine's mind was unfathomable, and it was possible to do anything. Now that she is defending with all her strength, the defense line is quite solid, and if she falls into her trap again, the base camp is bound to be breached.

But if you don't, what will you do with the rest of your time?

Leo knew that he was already at an absolute disadvantage, and Catherine Zee was brewing a big offensive.

Under the constant movement of troops, he can only follow her to defend accordingly to make up for the gap, maybe two or three more pulls and assaults at most, the entire defense line will be completely loosened, and then the gap will be opened.

Even if he guessed that it was a trap, Leo had no other choice.

After readjusting the formation, Leo looked firm, and it would be a failure to continue anyway, so it was better to give it a go. Even if Catherine really has a backhand, as long as her own forces successfully break through the blockade and cross the border, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Even if the hope is very slim, at least there is a chance, and it is totally worth the try!

With this in mind, Leo squeezed out the final monograph and began to analyze the battle situation and what he had to do in its entirety.

Five seconds later, Catherine's troops from the northeast advanced to the edge of the battlefield.

If the previous situation continues, Leo will stick to the position and mobilize a small number of surrounding troops to help defend it.

But now he doesn't want to do that.

With a move of mental strength, all the defenders moved north and charged against Catherine's troops.

Catherine, however, seemed to have been prepared in advance, and barely had time to think, and the formation of the troops immediately dispersed, forming a siege posture in a semicircle.

At this time, if you break in, your own forces will not be able to deploy, and the forward troops will be exposed to flanking attacks.

This was definitely not a decision that a normal commander would make, but Leo ignored it, and at the same time retracted his forces, forming a sharp arrow, and continued to move forward in the face of the blows around him.

At the same time, the same approach was taken by his troops to the northwest.

The sudden tough attack, even Catherine was a little unable to parry, and the whole front retreated again and again.

Behind the attack, completely ignoring the losses, Leo secretly drew two mage troops and two combat troops, circled to the edge of the sand table, and quickly pounced on the boundary river.

Because it was still half of his own map, Catherine could not have discovered this operation, and in order to buy more time for this group army, he continuously mobilized follow-up troops and launched counterattacks one after another.

A minute passed quickly, and the troops on both fronts were severely damaged and were about to be unable to sustain themselves, but fortunately, at this time, the follow-up troops finally arrived and quickly entered the battlefield.

Leo's heart was beating faster and faster, not only because he had to control so many targets to fight, but also because his sneak attack force had finally crossed the Boundary River without encountering any resistance.

As the map of the place resurfaced in his memory, Leo quickly determined his route, and his ultimate goal was a canyon surrounded by three lairs.

If the Mother Queen's forces appear somewhere, it must be the most likely location!(To be continued.) )
