Allen climbed up an ironwood tree, using the strangely dense branches to hide his figure. Picking up the exquisite binoculars and looking, there were several wooden stakes erected beside the bonfire in the camp ahead, and three Union soldiers were dying to hang on them. A sword demon was using a sharp knife to dig out a large piece of muscle from the chest of one of the soldiers, and handed it to a thin sword demon next to the campfire.
The demon bit off a small piece of raw meat with his mouth, and threw it into the campfire, and then yelled. The surrounding sword demons held up their weapons and shouted, then rushed up to the soldiers, and used the weapons in their hands to cut off pieces of flesh and blood from the soldiers.
The scene was horrible.
Allen almost smashed the telescope, he took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down and carefully slid down the tree trunk.
Dive back the same way.
When they came to the place where the floating car was stored, Maud had arrived early. His eyes were red, his chest heaved, and he lowered his voice and said angrily, "Look at what those bastards have done!"
Allen was silent, and after a while, the others came back, and everyone was furious. Allen immediately contacted the base and reported the coordinates. After finishing the record, Kejiesi said: "You guys come back right away, don't disturb them."
"Yes, sir." Allen ended the communication, looked at the others and said, "Let's go, go back to the base first. We alone can't do anything."
That's exactly what happened. There were at least three tribes gathered in that camp, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Just because Alan and the six people couldn't make any troubles at all, they were so angry that they could only drive away in the floating car silently.
After rushing through the night, it was already morning when we returned to the Blood Eagle Base. After several sergeants of Allen reported to Kejiesi, they were ordered to go back and rest. On the other hand, Bailey used remote communication to get in touch with the directors of the two bases of Eldraine and Nilu.
"Colonel Bailey, are you saying that there are three tribes of demons gathered in the Ironwood Hills?" Colonel Downey, the director of Eldraine Base, is a middle-aged man with a curly hair, two mustaches, and a pair of emerald green His eyes were solemn.
Colonel Bailey put his hands behind his back, nodded and said, "As far as our people have discovered, it is indeed the case. Two people, Ironwood Hills is just in the middle of our three bases, and it is the only way for us to communicate. Dao The Demon Tribe chose to gather at this place. In my opinion, it is not accidental, but has some kind of plan. I also informed you a few days ago that one of the tribe’s troops appeared on the wind-eroded wasteland. If there is one, there will be two One, three! If the coalition forces of the Horde attack any of our bases, our losses can be imagined."
"Then, Colonel, what good suggestions do you have?" Colonel Antu was duped by Nian and Bailey, but his image was elegant. A head of light brown broken hair, a pair of glasses on the bridge of the straight nose. He is the person in charge of the Nilu base, and he is cautious and meticulous by nature.
Colonel Berry took two steps back, and a tactical deduction platform was raised on the ground. The complete terrain near the Ironwood Hills had been projected on the platform, and the appearance of the tribal camp was simulated by the brain at the coordinates reported by Allen. Colonel Bailey said in a deep voice: "Please look, this is the camp of the Sword Demon Tribe. The Ironwood Hills are located in the southwest of our base. There will be a monsoon blowing from the northeast to the southwest. The monsoon is so strong that it can even blow people down. Counting the time, the season of the monsoon is coming soon. We plan to set fire to the forest in this area when the wind blows. You also know that the ironwood tree is dry and flammable. The wind will help the fire
, will inevitably cause a fire that spreads throughout the hills. "
Colonel Antu's eyes brightened, and he said, "If the fire enters the forest, it will force the enemy to retreat to the southwest. If at this time, our coalition forces with Colonel Downey lie in ambush at the exit of the hill, it will be wonderful."
"That's right, I can't help but want to see the surprised expressions of these sword demons." Colonel Downey rubbed his fists and said, "Berry, you can preside over this operation. You don't have to wait for death to spread them, wait for them Send troops to arrive, maybe we are already cleaning the battlefield."
Berry leaned forward with his hands on the tactics table, "So, let's call this plan Wind Up!"
The wind blows!
Allen exhaled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked southwest. On the roof of the dormitory building, the outline of the Ironwood Hills could be faintly seen, where the three sword demon tribes were hiding, but since returning to the base for the past two days, they have not seen any movement above. Every time he thought of the federal soldiers being dismembered and killed by the sword demon, devouring their flesh and drinking their blood, it felt like a flame was burning in their chests.
He finally understood why Kejies said that there is no compromise on the chaotic battlefield, and the war will stop only when one side is extinct. The sword demon eats people, and the human beings burn with the blood of the sword demon. The hatred between the two parties, I don't know when it was buried, the only thing that is certain is. This resentment will only get deeper and deeper, and cannot be resolved.
There is no justice in war, only positions.
"You are here." Ke Jiesi's voice sounded from behind.
Allen turned his head in surprise, and the major used his mechanical arm to gently press the military cap on his head so that it would not be blown away by the wind. Ke Jiesi looked in the same direction, and said softly: "It's windy."
Allen said, "Has the wind ever stopped?"
"That's right, the wind only blows in this direction, but it doesn't happen often." Ke Jiesi said indifferently.
Allen stretched out, felt the direction of the wind, nodded and said: "Indeed, the wind was blowing from other directions before. Today's wind, why is it blowing from the northeast? Is this a monsoon?"
"Almost every year in May and June, there will be such a wind direction." Ke Jiesi lowered his head and said, "So this is also the time for us to act."
"You mean?"
"As you think, we have already planned a joint operation with the other two bases, and the code name of the operation is Fengqi." Kejiesi snorted coldly: "The wind rises and the wind rises, just to wait for the wind direction to change. Allen, Your team has been incorporated into tomorrow's battle sequence, remember to rest early today, and fight hard tomorrow!"
Allen straightened his body, clenched his fists on his chest and said, "Of order, sir."
Ke Jiesi smiled and waved, Allen left happily, and he wanted to tell other people the good news.
In the past few days, Willick and the others have been holding back their anger.
Now is the time to finally vent!
In the previous battle of the wind-eroded wasteland, Allen's team lost five soldiers, and now all of them have been replenished. The newly arrived soldiers didn't have the doubts about Alan that Naz and the others had before. They were able to survive the battle at Beast Tooth Mountain without dying. Naturally, no one was too stupid to question Alan's strength. What's more, there are fierce men like Willick and Broy in this team, and the recruits are all proud to be assigned to this team.
Allen returned to the dormitory, and as soon as Feng Qi's action was announced, everyone's emotions were high, and they wanted to set off immediately to fight the sword demon. Of course, this is impossible, so we have to be prepared and recharge our batteries. Allen sits
One night, temper the source power. By the time of assembly the next day, the whole person was already in the best condition.
At sunrise, the gate of Blood Eagle Base opened, and troop transport trucks drove out from the base. Colonel Berry dispatched a thousand combat soldiers this time, including nearly a hundred non-commissioned officers and three majors. Only Major Luda and 400 defenders were left behind. In addition to transport trucks, the convoy was also equipped with two all-terrain combat vehicles. The colonel himself still carried the off-road vehicle and set off with the convoy.
The car line came to a stop when it was 50 kilometers away from the Ironwood Hills. Two land chariots each led a hundred soldiers and spread out to both sides of the hill. The main force dismounted and walked towards the hills in a hurry. By evening, with the hills in sight, Bailey gave the order. The special corps was the first to press towards the hills, and the hundred soldiers were all armed with flamethrowers. A team of ten people arrived at the hill under the unified command of their respective non-commissioned officers, and then shot out a series of flaming fire dragons to ignite all the ironwood trees on the northeast side.
Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and even the sky was dyed blood red. The monsoon blowing from the rear drove the fire to continue to spread to the southwest, and soon burned through a small half of the hills. When the fire is together, it represents the official start of combat operations. At this moment, the two base armies that were already on standby on the other side of the hill had already cleared out a fire zone, and were waiting for the sword demon to come out and die by himself.
Waiting is undoubtedly a kind of torment, and the soldiers at the base are all determined to fight hard. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long, and they began to see sword demons being driven out of the hills by the fire. Seeing this, the commander of the base immediately issued an attack order. So separated by a huge hill, people in Berry in the northeast can still hear the gunshots from the other side.
The battle started, but the battle ended soon. Berry frowned when he saw the green flares bouncing off the night sky in the southwest, but still let the two land vehicles on standby fire lime bombs to put out the fire. After more than an hour, the fire on the hill was suppressed, and when the wind blew away the smoke, Berry began to let the main force enter the hill. For some reason, a shadow cast over his heart.
The battle came too smoothly and ended sooner than he expected.
Allen followed his troops deep into the hills and came to the camp he found that day. The camp was almost burned to the ground, leaving only a lot of wreckage. There were only a very small number of sword demon corpses in the camp, and it seemed that the sword demon was fleeing knowingly. Not long after, the two colonels Antu and Downey came to meet up with their respective troops. As soon as he met Bailey, Colonel Antu said in a deep voice, "This may be a trap."
Colonel Bailey's heart beat heavily, and he asked, "What's going on?"
"The number of sword demons we intercepted is very small. According to our post-war statistics, there are less than two hundred people!" Colonel Antu sighed softly: "I am afraid that the sword demon tribe has already left before we arrived, leaving only People who deal with the aftermath."
"If so, where did they go?" Colonel Bailey frowned.
It was night, and the wind was blowing fiercely. At night on Pluto, the temperature dropped sharply. The gust of wind blowing at low temperature was as sharp as a knife, and even the sentinels on duty at night were unwilling to be exposed to the wind all night. Luther rubbed his numb hands, took a breath of hot air and walked back to the sentry post. The room temperature in the sentry made him warm up, and then he looked at his partner, who had fallen asleep leaning against the corner of the wall.
"I said Jerry, this is not good. If Sergeant Louis sees it, I will also be scolded." Luther patted his partner on the shoulder angrily, not wanting him to fall to the ground when his body weakened. It was only then that Luther saw that his partner's body against the wall was covered in blood!
