The raid that accompanied the sandstorm came to an end when the first rays of the desert sun shone on the oasis, and the remnants of the desert cavalry retreated, leaving the ground devastated in their wake.

If this battle is regarded as the first run-in of the tripartite alliance, the price of this run-in is too heavy. If you look at it from an optimistic point of view, the tripartite alliance was indeed in trouble in the early stages of this battle, but as the battle progressed step by step, a good pattern of cooperation between orcs, dwarves and elves was indeed formed, and this alone has made many commanders breathe a sigh of relief.

But if you do calculate the losses caused by this counterattack, the long series of numbers on the battle damage report is heart-wrenching.

As soon as the Oasis Base Camp was attacked, the major legions were unable to meet it in time, resulting in the first wave of enemy guards being almost quickly defeated by the desert cavalry in a devastating manner, resulting in a fire at the gate of the Oasis Base Camp but no one could save it.

The Vulture Knight Wing has left a deep shadow on the major legions, and many of the long-range attack units in the legions have suffered devastating blows, and many archers and crossbowmen will panic and tremble when they see the black wings of the vultures, and it is estimated that the military department will need to open a special psychological counseling department in the next period of time to alleviate the low morale.

According to statistics, the total number of troops of the tripartite alliance is 370,000, and there are 7 desert cavalry wings that attack, including 8 vulture knight wings, a total of about 10,000 people, and in this counterattack, the casualties of the tripartite coalition army totaled 23,000, not counting those who are missing.

Of course, these missing people are mainly from the Little Prince's Legion of the Dawn.

This is definitely a hard-to-see number for the tripartite alliance that has the ambition to take Istanbul, the capital of the desert kingdom, in one fell swoop.

More than 20,000 fighters persevered with their blood and lives to the end, and the bigwigs behind the scenes had to accept this reality, but the worst happened.

70% of the water resources in the Oasis Base Camp were poisoned and polluted by the enemy.

The first group of desert cavalry to break into the base camp of the oasis had only three targets: the water storage truck, the water tank, and the stream that runs through the oasis, and they didn't care about anything else.

The first time they broke into the oasis, the orcs discovered their traces and immediately sent cavalry to encircle and suppress, but the cavalry of the orc kingdom were all heavy mounts such as rhinoceros or elephants, and it was true that the skin was rough and thick, but in terms of speed, I am afraid that even half of the camel cavalry could not reach it, and a group of rhinoceros cavalry could only watch the enemy open up the gap with them until they completely disappeared from view.

The desert cavalry clearly had a map of the oasis until the source of the water was, and as they passed through it, they threw several bottles and cans into the water, containing a viscous liquid that stained the water black and churned with foul-smelling blisters, and after confirming that the water source was contaminated, they left without looking back.

The water storage cart and the water tank are the second target of the desert cavalry, and they carry a dozen short spears on their backs, and after the piercing short spears with full penetrating power pierce the iron can, the poison on the short spears and the venom in the spear shaft will pollute the water source, so that more than a dozen tons of water can become poison that no one dares to touch in the blink of an eye.

The desert cavalry's clear aim, swift action, and decisive action made the defenders miserable, and all they had to do was throw their short spears and hit their targets.

Even if they are caught being chased, they can easily shake off their pursuers with their superior riding skills, and then take the guards to the next place like dogs.

In fact, the more than 600 desert cavalry who broke into the oasis to do evil have been going smoothly and have not encountered any decent obstacles, if this situation really continues, they are really likely to complete the defeat of the tripartite alliance, but unfortunately some of them are really not very lucky, but they encountered the most tricky Guangye.

After Herbert and others "struck hard", Sparta, the Rangers, the Frozen Throne and the Rapid Reaction Force all threw themselves into the operation of "guarding the clear water", and with their reminder and help, the last 30% of the water resources were saved.

Bright no was the first to discover the enemy's conspiracy and counter it, and saved the most precious water resources for the tripartite coalition forces, a feat that was undoubtedly highly recognized by the coalition high command.

Especially when they knew that it was also Mitsuno who launched an effective counterattack against the Vulture Knight Wing in the first place, the generals and commanders who had been suspicious and contemptuous of Mitsuno last night were ashamed, and they didn't know what to say at this moment.

An elven commander who has always been quiet and silently took the initiative to put down his cold shelf and shook hands with Chu Xue: "If it weren't for you making the most correct judgment at critical moments, maybe we would have to retreat back to the country now." ”

Hatsuyuki replied politely, "As a member of the coalition forces, this is my responsibility and obligation. My boss once taught me that the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband. ”

"Boss?" The elven commander was slightly stunned, and then he realized that Chu Xue should be referring to the legendary Lord of the Bright Field, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband, and this kind of thing cannot be said without a considerable ideology." If you have the chance, I'd love to meet your boss. ”

Chu Xue held back a smile on her face, and said in her heart that it would be okay at any time, as long as you don't mind that our boss often wanders around in the name of your elves.

The sharp decline in water resources forced the Expeditionary Force Command to make a large-scale readjustment of the existing corps.

350,000 troops in the desert area, the amount of water that needs to be consumed every day is an astronomical amount, especially the heavy cavalry troops in the army of the orc kingdom, while the combat effectiveness is strong, the amount of water consumed is also massive. Faced with only 30% of the water resources left, a considerable part of the heavy cavalry units must leave for China now to reduce consumption.

However, even if the Orc Kingdom, Iron Hills, and Elven Mansion all let their troops withdraw to the country in batches, they still need to travel hundreds of kilometers through the long yellow sand to return to the country, and this process also requires a large amount of water, and a careless allocation may cause the retreating troops to be trapped in the desert due to lack of water.

There was once an army stranded in the desert due to a lack of water, and the soldiers were cornered, killing the mounts of the army and replacing the water with hot horse blood and cow blood. Eventually, when the blood was gone, they began to kill each other, feasting on the blood of their former comrades.

Anyone can do anything when they are cornered, even the royal guards who are high up in the sky.

Chu Xue, who was in attendance, raised her hand, and this time no one dared to ignore the young girl of the Snow Leopard Clan, and then they heard a speech that seemed to be heavenly.

"All the clear water needed by the retreating troops can be provided by our bright field. ”

Praise the bright wilderness, O God.

Every legion boss present said this in their hearts, including even the eldest prince Simbak, who had always been above the top.

Chu Xue made a small request at the right time: she needed a long strip of clear land 1 kilometer long and 50 meters wide in the oasis base camp.

The legion bosses unconditionally agreed to this request, and now Guangmingye is simply their own father, not to mention a piece of land, even ten pieces of land can be given!

No one knew how Bright Field could have such a huge inventory of clear water, but they could take it out, and the little prince knew that Chu Xue and they used magic to compress the clear water because they were cautious, just in case, but he didn't expect Chu Xue to be cautious to this point.

This woman is obviously very smart but overly cautious, so cautious that the army of 2,000 people is equipped with 200,000 drinking water, can she be more cautious?

Chu Xue deliberately chose a piece of land against the wind in the base camp of the oasis, and with the new land, there was work to be done in the bright field.

The vassals swept away the excess yellow sand in the area, laid tons of concrete into a rigid pavement, and poured a thick layer of asphalt when the concrete was dry. In this way, the runway for aircraft to take off and land is completed.

The first snow also made people set up a hangar at the end of the runway, and took advantage of the night to transport all the fighters into the hangar, after all, it was only a good idea to fold the wings and cover them with black canvas, so as to ensure that the flight squadron could take off at any time in case of emergency.

Bright Wild's actions can be said to confuse everyone, they don't understand the use of these big men building such a beautiful runway in the desert.

And they also found that Guangmingye would let dozens of people stand in a row along the runway every morning, noon and evening, walk back and forth on the runway with their heads down, and bend down to pick up something similar to a small stone and put it in their waist bags to ensure that there is no foreign object on the runway.

People from other legions, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what Guang Guangye is doing, anyway, he feels that these people are very rich, ask them anything, and the answer they get is: military secrets, no comment!

Fighter jets are currently used as top-secret weapons for both friendly and enemy forces, designed to play a decisive role in crucial battles, and now exposure will only do more harm than good in future operations.

It is unclear what the attitude of the Swan Clan is towards such an aircraft that can almost completely replace their existence, and if they are resolutely opposed, I am afraid that Bright Field will be under great pressure from the nobility of the kingdom at that time.

Chang Hao deliberately explained the first snow before leaving, so that she could use the sharp weapon of the flight squadron only under the premise of absolute certainty.

The meaning of this so-called "premise" is subtle, but Hatsuyuki has already grasped it.

On the evening of the first day of the runway's construction, Best led the group of pilots to inspect the runway after having a dinner full of desert characteristics.

Best and other pilots, who had not touched a fighter jet's joystick for a long time, took the initiative to take over this job, just to find the feeling of fighter taking off and landing by inspecting the runway.

The cold desert wind in the evening blew Best's hair, and he compared his hands to those of an airplane, flying along the runway in front of him, headwind and upward, as if he could see his heroic posture driving a fighter jet into the wind, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He suddenly felt that there was someone next to him, turned his head to look, and found that Shirokane was walking along the track with Chu Xue, and both of them looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, I said you two, can you say hello when you suddenly appear!"

"When you first came to Guangye, you were quite shy, but since you joined the Air Force as a squadron leader, according to the boss, you have now become a spiritual guy. Chu Xue rarely smiled: "Let's patrol the runway with you, right?"

"No problem, sir!" Best saluted and smiled.

Chu Xue and Best patrolled the corners of the runway side by side, and Best couldn't help but speak first: "Sister Chu Xue, do you think our flight squadron can start some flight training to find out how to feel?" You know we haven't touched the joystick for a long time. ”

"No, we don't know the attitude of the Swan Clan towards this matter, and we can't act rashly, otherwise we will end up burning. Chu Xue tilted his head and said, "Besides, I don't know what skills your squadron has? Even if you don't touch fighters for a year, you will be back to the top in five minutes." ”

Best touched his head embarrassedly, and the first snow could see them all through.

"I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?" The bloody twilight of the desert poured on the delicate body of the first snow, and there was a unique beauty of a woman.

"Let's listen to the bad first. Best subconsciously restrained his smile.

Hatsuyuki nodded, "Then let Platinum speak first." ”

"After our investigation, it was found that Kumir, the captain of the Vulture Knights, was indeed shot down by us that night, but when we cleaned up the battlefield, we only found his mount and not his body, so we guessed that he must have survived and retreated with the remnants. ”

Platinum paused word by word: "You were also present at the time of Best, and you also saw the flying skills of the wing captain named Kumir, which should not be underestimated." If he returns to the army, the next time he will threaten us much more than the last time. ”

The corners of Best's eyes narrowed slightly, he was also a pilot, and he did see the flying skills of the vulture knight wing that night, and most of them he thought were quite average, but the leading vulture knight, whose flying skills could almost throw off the others more than a dozen streets.

When he saw that guy was shot down by Platinum, he still felt a little sorry that he couldn't fight against such a top master, and now he knew that that guy was a wing captain and he didn't die.

"Then I'm sorry. The corners of Best's mouth raised a dangerous arc, and his words were full of strong confidence: "Then I have to let him die a second time." ”

Platinum smiled, if the other pilots said this, she would think it was another bragging and not a draft, but if it was Best, she was willing to believe it.

"I've heard the bad news, but what about the good news?"

"The good news is that your good brother Rig may have a chance to meet you here. With a mysterious smile on her face, Hatsuyuki stepped on the asphalt runway with her foot.

"What's that? Rig is going to war? Isn't he still in the Bright Field? How is he going to come here? Is he also coming here in a Mustang fighter? But this is too far, the fuel is not enough for him to fly so far!" When he heard that his good brother was also coming to the Desert Kingdom, Best was so happy that he almost danced with joy.

Rigg and Best were the first pilots of the same batch, but in the flight training program of Bright Field, Best was divided into the first echelon, that is, the combat squadron that strengthened aerial combat skills, while Rig, from the Royal Military Academy, was placed in the second echelon, that is, the command squadron that focused on cultivating command skills.

The two of them live in adjacent dormitories, and they attend classes together every day to participate in training together, and the two of them spent time together in the early days of Guangmingye, and the comradeship is very deep.

"They're not flying Mustang fighters, they're supposed to be flying planes that are more advanced and bigger than you are now. Chu Xue recalled that when she went to the underground scientific research room where Chang Ge was, there was an underground hangar next door, and she could see it clearly through the glass curtain.

It was a super-large aircraft under construction, far larger and more technologically advanced than the current Mustang fighters, and he had seen some new, slightly smaller fighters that were in the final stages of construction.

At that time, Chang Ge told him that it was not the right time for the Kingdom Expedition to come, and if the time was more relaxed, maybe these cutting-edge weapons and equipment could be directly sent to the battlefield, but it was a pity that the heavens were not beautiful. However, Chang Ge assured her that as long as the big plane was built, it would allow Irig and the others to rush to the desert battlefield immediately.

This is why Chu Xue insisted on requiring the take-off and landing runway to be so wide, obviously the Mustang fighter did not need such a wide runway, but she just had a strong premonition that the big guy who was shocking would definitely come here.
