Chapter 655: Ambush in the Sand
"Three kilometers to the northeast and three kilometers to the northwest, there are enemies waiting, and besides, we have a tail attached to our back, and the distance is about two kilometers. ”
Midi immediately issued a warning.
Obviously, these enemies are prepared and old, and I am afraid that they have already been targeted by the Pegasus convoy when they have just entered the lawless land, otherwise it would never have been possible to set up such an invulnerable ambush.
In addition, they are obviously very experienced, and they are extremely familiar with the detection distance of the Celestial Legion.
The three groups of enemies were all ambushed outside the maximum reconnaissance distance of the Celestial Legion "one kilometer", and when they attacked at the same time, this convoy was naturally attacked on three sides, and there was no power to fight back at all.
Fortunately, Midi was in the convoy.
Under the power of psionic energy, there is nothing to hide.
Whether it was the sand and dust or the howling hot wind, it could not form an obstacle to Midi's psionic energy at all.
And the enemy's thoughts and killing intent cannot be concealed at all.
Hearing Midi's sudden warning, both Lycia and Finney were startled.
"Alarmist! Even if you are an alchemy master, what do you know about war? Even our most elite celestial soldiers have not found anything abnormal, how can you possibly find any problems?"
Finney, who came back to his senses, first said that he took it for granted to refute Midi.
"Is there really an enemy?"
Although Lycia said it more tactfully, her eyes were also full of questions.
After all, since she first "picked up" Midi back, Midi has never shown any talent for combat.
In fact, in order to avoid his pseudo-golden wings being torn apart, Midi did not even fight a single battle.
At this moment, he suddenly intervened in the war, and it was natural that he would be suspected.
"Miss Lycia, don't you know if you send a sentry in each of these three directions?, although it may be a bit troublesome to do so, but how about selling me face?" Midi didn't mind, and then added, "In addition, these three ambush teams are fully equipped, each of them has at least forty people, including transformation warriors, healers, flame warriors, etc., the highest level, all of them are level 78, so please be careful with the sentinels you send." ”
"What? There are transformation fighters, flame warriors, and healers? Isn't this a whole combat detachment, why is it on the outskirts of this impossible zone?"
Lycia was startled again when she heard Midi's words.
And this time, the doubts in her heart were suddenly dispelled a lot.
Although the archangel didn't know how Midi had detected these three enemies so far away, since Midi had even reported their staffing and ranks, it was obviously not like a fraud.
Besides, this place could have been considered a battlefield in the first place, and Lycia also believed that Midi would not joke on such an occasion.
"Send out sentries to scout immediately!"
Lycia no longer hesitated and immediately issued the order.
Although in this dusty and dusty lawless area, the vision is very poor, and the reconnaissance skills can't see far, but two or three kilometers is a few times for an angel to flap his wings.
The three angelic sentinels flew out at breakneck speed.
Then, they flew back at a faster pace.
"There is a squadron of Cutler rebels in the northeast!"
"There is also a full enemy squadron in the northwest!"
"It's terrible, we have a squadron behind us!"
The answers of the three sentinels directly proved the correctness of Midi's judgment.
And the faces of Lycia and Finney suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Three full squadrons!
Lycia was a little puzzled.
You know, her Pegasus convoy is not the kind of logistics convoy with heavy escorts, but just an ordinary liaison convoy, and the total number is only thirty or forty people, which is at most the same as a full squadron of Cutler rebels.
But the other party actually sent three times as many troops for such a convoy that was only used for communication, and carefully set up an ambush, what is going on?
Could it be ......
Lycia suddenly thought of something and looked at Midi.
It would be reasonable to say that Khalert took this action in order to kidnap one of the most important alchemy grandmasters on the Heavenly Sacred Mountain.
Midi, however, shook her head.
"Miss Lycia, you think too much, the most important thing at the moment is not why these rebels are here, but whether we can win this battle!"
Midi said lightly.
In fact, he didn't think that these rebels were coming for him at all.
After all, Midi had come here for a purpose that no one else could have imagined, and it was unlikely that the Khalert rebels, as an outsider who had suddenly appeared, would have had access to Midi's information.
Why these rebels set up an ambush, in Midi's opinion, can only know the truth after a fight!
And the one thing to do now is to fight with all your might, that's all!
It can be said that as a genius commander, Midi straightened out the whole train of thought at the first time, and was not confused by this sudden chaos.
And Lycia reacted immediately after Midi's reminder.
"Staying here will only be attacked from three sides, there is no chance of victory, we must break through the encirclement, and then join up with the army of the 'Flame Saintess', take the enemy army in the northeast as the target, and accelerate the breakthrough to the past!"
Lycia's thinking was very clear.
At the critical moment, the Pegasus convoy also began to execute the order as quickly as possible.
In an instant, the entire convoy, from horses to carts to people, began to accelerate forward.
It's just that when they encountered the Callert rebels in the northeast, Midi and the others found that this squadron was not only fully staffed, but also extremely well-equipped.
And Lycia's side, because it was only a reconnaissance force, was even suppressed for a moment in terms of firepower.
"Damn, it's just 'no feathers' and 'feather people' who don't even have wings, and they dare to block the way of the Heavenly Legion, you are looking for death!"
Finney let out an angry roar, flapped his wings, and slammed into the opposing camp like a bolt of lightning, killing several people in an instant.
It's a pity that although his breakthrough power is also strong, he still can't break through the defense of a squadron after all.
The two troops in the northwest and behind were originally not far from the Pegasus convoy, but at this moment, relying on the time gained by this squadron in the northeast, they quickly surrounded them from the flank and rear.
The flanking attack that Lycia feared the most was formed by the Callert rebels.
"Although the opponent is numerous, and it is a three-sided attack, however, we are angels after all, not those 'featherless' and 'feather people' can rely on the tactics of crowds, but they are just three times the enemy, defeat them!"
Lycia gave a resounding call to battle.
And under her encouragement, her huge wings poured out patches of pale golden light towards the surroundings.
This light covered the entire team of Pegasus, making each angel morale boosted and calm.
"It seems that I don't have to go out for a while. ”
Midi nodded, and sat down in the carriage.
He didn't mean to sit idly by, but the first thing Lycia did when the battle began was to ask Midi to hurry back to the carriage.
After all, in this archangel with a sense of responsibility, he regarded Midi as a "non-combatant" from beginning to end.
Not only that, but he is also an "important person" who needs to be protected.
In this case, how could she possibly put Midi on the front line?
And Midi, as the commander of many confrontations with the Kalert rebels in the previous life, can also judge the contrast of forces between the two sides through guò Ling.
Although the Callert rebels have the advantage of geography and numbers, it is still unlikely that with such three full squadrons, it is still impossible to take down the Pegasus convoy led by an archangel like Lycia.
It may be a tough battle, but in the end, the Pegasus team will be able to break out of the encirclement.
With this result confirmed, Midi naturally wanted to avoid a fight.
At the very least, before Fina and Alice determine the course of their future survival in the Celestial Realm, Midi doesn't want to expose too many of her hole cards.
So, at this moment, he would rather sit in the carriage and act as a bystander.
Soon, the angels and the rebels were locked in a fierce battle.
Both are celestials and have mastered the art of flying.
However, the winged angel was clearly superior in air combat and soon gained air superiority.
And the rebels, because they are "feathered people" and "featherless people", have to attack from the ground, and there is little chance to fly up and suppress.
However, the cooperation of these rebels is quite good, not only from three sides, but also with a very clear sense of firepower.
Whether it's the incomparably accurate point-to-point strikes of the Transformation Warriors or the barrage of bullets fired by the Flame Warriors, they all cross each other, making it difficult for the angels to break through.
Lycia took the lead in diving and breaking through several times, but all of them were in vain.
But at least, every attack of the angels will bring certain casualties to the rebels.
After all, the average level on the Angel's side is higher, and although it is not as equipped as the heavily armed rebels, it is better than these rebels in terms of skills.
It's just that, under the gradually improving shape, Midi's brows are slightly furrowed.
"Something is wrong!"
Midi looked at the battle and suddenly noticed something strange.
In each of these Kahlert rebels, there was a small number of people who did not participate in the battle, but on the contrary, they were out of the battlefield and were arranging something at a distance.
Midi's psionic energy swept away, and he immediately found that the professions of these rebels were all summoners, and what they did was to set up three summoning arrays in the desert and then start summoning!
Not only that, judging from the "Chaos Magic" gushing out of the summoning array, these summoners are carrying out "Demon Summoning"!
In the next moment, three powerful breaths rose into the sky from three different directions!
