Empire of Shadows

Chapter 120: Ambush. Ambush

Views:

After defeating the enemy troops that were blocking me, I immediately fled the scene with my troops before the enemy army surrounded me again. I had already forgotten about the life and death of the Fire Phoenix Army. I didn't care about their life or death. We were going to break out of the encirclement, and even the direction of the breakout was designated by the enemy. If we couldn't escape, we deserved it.

However, according to what I saw before the full-scale retreat, although the Fire Phoenix Army was in a bad situation, it was not in danger of being completely wiped out. However, it was inevitable that they would suffer some serious injuries. After all, the enemy had a large number of heavy soldiers and a small number of magician troops. The archers and light cavalry simply did not have the strength to fight the enemy head-on.

When I last observed the Fire Phoenix Army, they were competing with the other side in speed. Unlike the place where we broke through, the place they chose to break through was mainly a large area of plains. With their horsepower, they were frantically sending troops from the center to the sides, and then from the sides to the center.

According to their thinking, I can confirm that the Fire Phoenix Army is trying to create gaps in the opponent's movement, and then try to pass through them...

Hey! To be honest, they only have so many methods to use now. If they come to where I break out, then those intercepting infantry only need to move a little to block our way, and it will be difficult to cause great chaos to the enemy.

Looking at the Fire Phoenix Legion soldiers running wildly in the magic, I prayed for them silently. But I didn't have much sincerity in my heart. Beautiful, mean and insidious legion leader, I wish you good luck today, and don't let the East Continent coalition destroy you in the future.

"The whole army will retreat quickly after destroying the remaining enemies, and fight for our existence..." He shouted loudly, and used the amplification magic to spread his voice throughout the army. With the echoes of tens of thousands of soldiers, we galloped away. The East Continent coalition forces behind me, just follow me and eat your ass!

Without a guide, I have continuously sent out hundreds of scouts, following the marching standards that the General Staff had already set, to advance towards our goal. According to the previously drawn map, we should be able to reach the periphery of the Lost Forest in 3 hours. By then, I will let the East Continent coalition forces try out some of the latest achievements of the General Staff. Perhaps these things with my improved measures can make them feel more exciting. . . . . .

"Sir, the scouts found a man ahead, and he said he was a local villager. But according to our previous investigation, there is no so-called village in this area..."

As we galloped, the scouts sent us news. Villagers? According to the original survey, could there be any mistakes? But my survey data was obtained through the original empire map, combined with the news dug out from the mouths of merchants and thieves from all over the country, and then I sent people to investigate on the spot! Could this magic three-dimensional map that cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to successfully create have errors

"Tie him up and take him away... I'll interrogate him after we get to the destination..." I'm no longer the same person I was when I first came to this world. I'm used to seeing blood and now the only thing I know is profit. I'll do anything that benefits me, even if it means hurting others. Besides, it's just a matter of life and death for a guy who I suspect is a villager!

If he is really an enemy scout, then I will be in trouble. If I take him with me, if he is really a scout, I can also find a way to get something out of his mouth.

"Sir, the Miyu Forest is ahead. Do you think we should repair it here or continue to move forward?"

Three hours later, we arrived at our destination on time. Looking at the endless forest, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. We were finally safe. I had been so scared from early morning till now, but now I could finally relax a little.

"Keep going. According to what the magician observed with reconnaissance magic, we should set up camp behind the hill. Only then can we rest in peace." Looking at the tired faces of the soldiers, I finally coldly disagreed with my subordinates. If we rest now, we will be in trouble if we are caught up by the enemy troops.

"Sir, you see, the soldiers can hardly hold on any longer. And you also saw that the enemy's cavalry chased the defenders of Red Moon City all night and then attacked our camp. Maybe they are more exhausted than our soldiers now..." Matthew, feeling a little reluctant, began to plead for the soldiers.

"We can't rest... But we can slow down our march... Now, Yaruo will lead the sniper archers to clear the way, and the rest of the soldiers will be divided into five teams led by the staff. We will start setting traps according to the area we enter, and make sure that the enemies chasing us cannot get close to us smoothly. However, due to fatigue, everyone can slow down the speed of setting traps..."

After watching the soldiers march into the maze forest, I turned around and looked back. Hehe, if I can just give you a few more hours, you guys from the East Continent will suffer if you mess with me again. Horse traps, horse pits, slings, and ground spikes are all child's play. The real good stuff is the so-called chain traps. . . . .

For example, insert several bamboo sticks with pointed ends leaning toward the lasso 3-4 meters in front of the lasso. . . . Or set the height at which the object is hoisted when the lasso is hooked around the feet of a person or horse, and set up corresponding sharp bamboo rafts (sharp wooden stakes are also OK) and swing them at that height when the person steps on the trap. . . . Or hang some heavy objects on a tree, and put the limit switch of the pull rope under the heavy objects. When someone steps on it, hundreds or thousands of stones will suddenly fall from mid-air. . . . . .

Suddenly, I remembered a very good ambush method that I had conceived in the magic academy. Although I have not tried it, I am sure that as long as my method can be realized, I will once again create a miracle of magic application. . . . .

Thinking of this, I immediately called the guys in the staff department and asked them to make arrangements according to my method. . . . . . I wonder what kind of expression the enemy army will have when they are attacked by magic more than a thousand meters away. . . . . .
