Chapter 147: Ready to Fly

In the entire Oasis camp, only Bright Field's troops were still on standby.

After the camps were set up, the front-line troops began to rest immediately after they were full of food and drink, and the second-line and logistics troops temporarily took over the patrol tasks.

There is also a great deal of attention to the way front-line combat units rest.

For example, the Spartan bears led by Herbert kept their weapons and armor in their hands when they were resting, and they slept with their heads down with their feet high with some sundries.

This approach is backed by scientific evidence.

Because of their height, the speed and strength of their hearts need to be faster and stronger than ordinary people, so that they can pump blood to all parts of the body, and the sleeping position with their feet raised and their heads down can effectively reduce the load on the heart, and a short period of rest can achieve the effect of restoring physical strength.

From her vantage point, she could see the horizon of the Taklamakan region over the hastily piled up lines of low walls around the oasis.

The moonlight poured over the earth, the wind blowing from afar was dry and cold, and at the end of Platinum's sight, a great shadow different from the night was slowly approaching in the direction of the oasis, a large sandstorm that made all living things tremble.

Defending against sandstorms is a skill that every army that enters the desert must learn, whether it is dwarves, elves or orcs, they have already prepared for defense in advance, except for the necessary patrol soldiers, everyone else has already taken refuge in the camp barracks early, trying everything to find something to block the door, for fear that when the sandstorm comes, the wind will be too strong, and when the curtain is lifted, they will have to eat the sand all night.

But because of this, the defense of the Oasis base camp is now more weak than ever, and from the heights, only a few teams patrol around the low walls. It's fine if it's okay, but if there is an emergency, there may be a big mess.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Platinum looked back and found that it was Emilia, and she asked softly, "Little Sister Ai, did you say that Sister Hatsuki's prediction would come true?"

"Chu Xue's inference has always been very accurate, otherwise your boss would not have assured her to take over all the troops in Guangmingye, war is not a child's play, Chu Xue knows it very well. ”

The corner of the wand wrapped in linen in Emilia's hand was revealed, and the magic crystal embedded on it emitted a faint light, she frowned, looked at the slowly approaching sandstorm in the distance and said: "The first snow is really a prophecy, there are strange things in this sandstorm, there are traces of magic fluctuations, this is obviously not a naturally formed sandstorm!"

The sandstorm seemed to be gradually accelerating, and it seemed that it was still far away in the sky, but the wind that was howling more and more around told people that a natural disaster was coming, and the front-line troops of Guangmingye had also finished resting, and everyone was wearing dust masks and waiting for the battle.

At this moment, the meeting was over, the door of the dome hall was suddenly opened, and the generals of the expeditionary force looked at the amazing sandstorm with a drastic change in their faces, and they had only one thought under the support of their personal guards: that is, to rush back to their barracks immediately!

The oasis, which had not seen many figures, suddenly became lively, first on the side of the orc kingdom, every camp tent was lit up by candlelight, and in the sound of countless captains scolding, the soldiers got up from the bed, removed the things that had been piled up at the door, and began to put all kinds of equipment on themselves.

Followed by the camp on the side of the dwarves and elves, the stagnant water that was also silent boiled in an instant, and the oasis, which had not had many lights, suddenly brightened up like the day, and everyone was preparing for battle against the howling wind and yellow sand, but most of them didn't know what they were about to face, thinking that it might be a surprise drill.

Chu Xue and Anna hurried back to the camp, everyone was waiting for them, and Anna, who was walking in the front, was extremely decisive, just saw everyone, and before everyone could ask what was going on, the singing crystal on her chest lit up, and she sang three war songs directly!

The light of the glorious war song rose, like the sun dispelled the darkness of the night, and the three war songs were blessed with strength, defense, and agility attributes respectively, and the light of the three war songs merged with each other, forming a ring like the top of an angel's head in the night sky, the diameter of the ring was more than two hundred meters, covering all the warriors who were ready to attack in the bright field!

Herbert roared, his bare skin was as thick as a mountain, the endless power rushed from the depths of his body to the limbs, and he could jump to the roof of several meters high with a slight lift of the soles of his feet, and he felt that even if he didn't need armor and shields, he could rush into the enemy formation and kill seven in and seven out!

This is the power of sacrifice, sacrifice as an ancient profession that exists against the magicians of the Human Empire, they will always stand in the absolute C position in the war, a powerful sacrifice, can fundamentally determine the upper limit of a legion's combat effectiveness.

During the sea and land war thousands of years ago, when the orc kingdom faced an endless number of brutal and abnormal sea tribe armies, a large number of great sacrifices were born that were remembered by later generations.

It was with this skill that Dante was able to turn the tide of several crucial wars in the midst of a number of crucial wars, becoming a historical monument that has endured for thousands of years.

As his precious daughter, Anna is still far from reaching the height of her father, but that doesn't prevent her from becoming the most dazzling presence in the entire oasis right now.

Instantaneous triple war songs, looking at the entire orc kingdom, are also one of the few.

The sacrifices of the other legions who saw this scene were directly frightened.

Instant Triple Battle Song?Isn't it a temple dignitary who is here in person?

"When we entered the oasis earlier today, I noticed signs of a sandstorm at the end of the horizon. If I were Rommel, after roughly understanding the military composition of the dwarves and elves, I would definitely take advantage of this sandstorm to launch an active attack!"

Hatsuyuki looked at the sandstorm against the wind, her eyes sharp like swords.

After Chu Xue expressed his guess at the meeting, General Redias was struck by lightning, and he quickly realized that the army of the Desert Kingdom might really take advantage of this time and place to launch a surprise attack.

Rommel, the desert god of war, has always been synonymous with cunning, his eclectic and unpredictable approach to combat, often stabbing you in the chest with a deadly knife when you think it's most unlikely.

Redias immediately persuaded the eldest prince Simbac to immediately inform the dwarves and elves to start planning now, otherwise it would be too late for the enemy to come.

Silver Gray was very satisfied with his sister's transformation, the heroic Snow Leopard Clan should have such sharp and fearless eyes, he laughed and started a calm frenzy with all the Snow Leopard Light Cavalry, their skyrocketing bodies were as majestic as the Giant Elephant Clan, which was daunting.

In addition to the Bright Field, there are also many veteran Centaur archers in the other legions, who have received orders and began to scout for the approaching sandstorm.

They opened the Pegasus Vision, but the wind from the sandstorm made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes, and they could only barely open a slit, trying to see if there were any enemies in the sandstorm.

But the Bright Field is different, the Centaur shooters who belong to the precision shooting team all have optical sights, through which they open the Pegasus field of vision, and they finally see an army that is advancing rapidly with the wind in the raging yellow sand!

"Desert people are cruel and cunning, but any raid will never return empty-handed!"

Chu Xue sent a few heralds to inform the other legions, and then issued one order after another in an orderly manner: "The Centaur precision shooting team is commanded by Platinum, find a good sniper point, ensure your own safety, and give priority to hitting the enemy's high-value targets!"

Platinum nodded, and a group of capable Centaur girls followed Platinum's figure and bent down into the wind and sand, looking for a commanding height that was safe enough and had a good view.

"Sparta, Rangers, and Light Cavalry are responsible for meeting the enemy head-on, defending instead of attacking, and taking the initiative to attack in such bad weather is no different from seeking death!" "Chu Xue gave Herbert a death order, these muscular guys are easy to lose themselves in battle, and for the thrill of that momentary fight, they are likely to fall into the trap of the enemy.

The three strong men made an "OK" gesture, and the six hundred men and horses formed a 360-degree defensive front with no dead ends around their camp, and the distance between them was no less than 20 meters, so that they could respond to support at any time.

"Rapid Reconnaissance Reaction Force, your mission is to protect the Centaur archers. If the enemy becomes aware of their presence, they will be in danger, and you have to make sure that no one touches a single hair of them!"

"Leave it to us, Sister Hatsuyuki!" Lu Coco waited for the Folded Ear Cat Lady to take the order, and they followed the scent to find the Centaur archer, quietly ambushing them, and if an enemy approached, they would strike a fatal blow in the shadows.

"What about us, Sister Chuxue!" Best, who belongs to the Air Force, was already hungry and thirsty, and he couldn't wait to hold the Mustang fighter's joystick right now.

Chu Xue glared at him fiercely: "Do you still want to fly in such a bad sandstorm? There is no runway, what are you going to fly?"

Best knew that this battle was estimated to be sitting on the cold bench again, and complained constantly: "Doesn't the boss often say that if there are no conditions, you have to create conditions?"

Best has completed a metamorphosis since he came to Guangmingye to join the Air Force. The will to conquer the blue sky makes him full of confidence in everything he does now, and he says goodbye to his previous hesitant self.

As long as he holds the joystick, he is the most skilled pilot in the bright field.

He longed for the first battle in his life, but unfortunately the current sandstorm environment was too harsh, and as Hatsuyuki said, there was no runway for accelerated takeoff, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to lift the Mustang fighter into the air.

Chu Xue stopped talking to Best, looked at Anna and Emilia and said, "You two can stay with me." ”

In the depths of the sandstorm in mid-air, dense black shadows flew with the direction of the wind in a long snake formation, and the wind and sand slapped on these fast-flying bird-shaped black shadows, which did not seem to have any effect on the flight, and these black shadows could even adjust their flight attitude at any time with the help of the changing wind, and always maintain a constant state.

If you look at these bird-shaped shadows up close, it is not difficult to see that they are the vultures who have been expelled from their homes by the orc kingdom.

However, their feathers are different from ordinary vultures, not only are their wings wider and larger, but their feathers are coated with a film-like coating, which looks like grease, so that even the largest wind and sand cannot block the gaps between the feathers, so that these desert vultures can largely ignore sandstorms.

However, these coatings alone will not allow the vultures to fly in formation in a sandstorm, thanks to the knights on the vultures' backs.

They are the vulture knights of the desert kingdom, the scythe-wielding grim reaper.

The Vulture Knights are elite soldiers who have been carefully selected from among the natives of the Desert Kingdom and can adapt to the battlefield in the air, and each of them has a vulture as their mount, and launching surprise attacks from the air has always been their specialty.

A considerable number of them have received personal training from the desert god Rommel, and if you compare them to the Orc Kingdom, they are equivalent to graduating from the Royal Military Academy.

However, in view of the relatively stable environment in the country in the Orc Kingdom in recent years, the gold content of these vulture knights is much more important than that of the top students of the Royal Military Academy, and local frictions between local warlords often break out in the desert kingdom, and vulture knights often have some bloody "internship opportunities", and they have rich combat experience.

"Hahaha, Lord Rommel is really clever! After those dwarves and elves were beaten back by us, they didn't dare to come out of the oasis at a hurry, and this time they just took advantage of his illness to kill him, and let them get out of the desert!"

At the front of the vulture knights was Wing Captain Kumir, who wore windproof dark crystal goggles and roared loudly, the wind and sand pouring into his mouth, making a sound as ugly as a rusty knife repeatedly rubbing against the bottom of a pot, but he didn't care.

None of the men who beg for a living in the wind-swept desert have a normal voice.

The hundreds of vulture knights behind him heard the voice of the co-captain, and their faces smirked, and the short-handled scythe in their hands as weapons could not help but taste blood.

It wasn't just their vulture knight wing that was moving with the wind, the camel cavalry wing and the monitor lizard wing on the ground were also close behind, and it would be a slaughter.

When the sandstorm finally approached less than 10 kilometers from the oasis, Kumir suddenly frowned, he found that the oasis, which had not been lit up a few lights, was suddenly brightly lit, and for a while it was as bright as day, and he also saw many soldiers still wearing pajamas running out of the camp in a panic.

Did the plan leak the news? Or was it just an enemy wind-proof exercise?

But Kumir didn't have time to think about it, and he had to send it.
