The Crack War is in full swing, and far away in the Gulf region of the East Continent, the impact of the Fortress War is gradually expanding.
Facing the undercurrent tactics of Jingtao Castle, Qingtian Castle responded actively, continuously dispatching Storm Army to the battlefield, splitting the teams, and conducting encirclement and interception.
This was the tactic on the surface, but secretly a part of the troops were withdrawn and quietly gathered in a supply base near the battlefield area, where they set traps and waited for Jingtao Fort to take the bait.
At the same time, Skyfort adopted the tactic of "Thousands of Miles of Red Land", taking away all the supplies that could be taken away in the war zone. Those that could not be taken away or those that did not have time to be taken away were burned, and they were determined not to give the troops of Jingtao Fort a chance to replenish their supplies.
In addition, Skyfort blocked the border and deployed heavy troops there, making it clear that they wanted to block the isolated troops that Jingtao Fort had secretly sent into the district and prevent Jingtao Fort from having the opportunity to establish a supply line.
Finally, Skyfort issued a war declaration to the surrounding fortresses, accusing Stormfort of infringing on Skyfort's interests, and invited fortresses such as Alpinefort to support the battlefield.
Of course, Jingtao Fort did not just take the beating without saying anything. Soon, Jingtao Fort produced a piece of evidence. This evidence pointed out that Qingtian Fort was the first to secretly massacre one of their border garrisons. Jingtao Fort's move was completely reasonable and a just war.
Naturally, Skyfort did not acknowledge the evidence presented by Castle Jingtao, and stated that Skyfort did not do this, and that Castle Jingtao directed and acted it out to find an excuse to start a war.
The diplomatic departments of both sides confronted each other over the matter, arguing with each other, making it difficult for the outside world to tell who was right and who was wrong. As a result, fortresses such as Gaoshan Fort that had established diplomatic relations with Qingtian Fort did not dare to intervene rashly and were responsible for remaining neutral and watching.
But no matter what the truth of the matter is, the most important thing is that the war has begun.
Once a war starts, it will not be easy to end.
In the face of Skyforge's Red Earth Tactics, Thunderstorm Fort also responded by maintaining a part of its team to continue the undercurrent tactics to attract Skyforge's attention and prevent the Storm Army from concentrating its strength.
A part of the team secretly gathered together and, under the command of General Lu Jian of Jingtao Fort, conspired to attack the supply base in the war zone in order to obtain resources to continue their operations in the enemy area.
In the temporary camp, a route appeared on a tactical electronic board. This was the optimal route given by the staff. This route bypassed the central area of the war zone and headed southeast directly to the supply base of the Sky Fortress.
Lu Jian put down the electronic board and said, "Now that the border has been blocked, our main force is actively seeking a breakthrough, but it is almost impossible to establish a guaranteed supply line in a short period of time."
"We are now isolated and deep in enemy territory, but since I am here, you don't have to worry too much. I will fight with you to the end. By now, the Skyforge must have thought that we would attack that base."
"But we have an advantage. Our undercurrent tactics have attracted the enemy's attention. That base may not have enough troops. So we have to take down that base as quickly as possible before the Skyfort can react."
"Once we have supplies, we can continue our activities. We can occupy several important strategic locations as our support points on the enemy battlefield."
"As long as we can hold out until our main force arrives, we can take the initiative to attack. Now, the entire army will rest for an hour."
"In one hour, we will run at full speed along this route. We will then have to march quickly. All of your men must keep up. Those who fall behind will have to find a way to reunite with other teams."
"that's all."
After the officers dispersed, Lu Jian stroked his chin and whispered, "My brother-in-law said that the only strong men that the Qingtian Fort military can bring out are Chu Yan and Cao Gang. The female general Feng Bao left Qingtian Fort after returning from the expedition, and Yuan Shu ran away again. Qingtian Fort is now in a state of emptiness of top-level combat power, so they launched a war at this time."
"So, the base we are going to now should only be guarded by a colonel-level officer. After all, Chu Yan is the acting city lord and needs to stay in the fortress. It is unlikely that Cao Gang will come here, so it seems that there will be no problem."
"Even if there are problems, I can still return to Thunderstorm Castle from the air. Humph, you all laughed at me for developing an anti-gravity organ. What a bunch of idiots. With the anti-gravity organ, I have the ability to stay in the air at level 7. I can't say anything else, but my chances of escaping are much better than those of ordinary level 7s."
"As long as I'm alive, I have a chance. Even if I don't have the aura of a strong man now, who dares to say that I can't cultivate it in the future? After this war, my brother-in-law should give me a set of materials for level 8. Then when my sublimation progress is full, I can be promoted."
"What if I don't have the aura of a strong man? I can just raise my level and kill you with my pile."
Lu Jian chuckled twice, quite satisfied with the future he had planned.
One hour later, this secret force started to set off, marching quickly according to the planned route, bypassing the main battlefield, crossing the wilderness, and arriving near the supply base before nightfall.
After arriving here, Lu Jian sent out several reconnaissance teams to explore the way ahead. He first had to find out the military strength in the base before deciding whether to launch an attack.
Although his rank 7 is somewhat inconsistent with his actual status, as a general, he still has the basic military qualities.
Several reconnaissance teams quietly dispersed under the cover of night and headed towards the distant supply base from different directions.
The supply base was brightly lit, and from time to time a beam of light streaked across the wilderness, dispelling the night. It was obvious that the base was also in a state of high alert.
It is spring now, and although the temperature is still cold at night, the ground is no longer cold, and yellow-green buds can be seen everywhere in the soil. A small river flows continuously, and new green leaves grow on the branches of the trees beside the river.
Some footprints and wheel tracks can be seen nearby, the texture of which is still very clear, indicating that someone passed by not long ago.
Based on this, the captain of the reconnaissance team judged that they had entered the patrol range of the base guards.
He gestured to the team members to be careful, and the captain took the lead to explore forward. They swam through the creek and found that the wheel marks on this side were deeper and turned back and forth. The outer edge of the wheel marks pushed up the loose soil, and it seemed that a vehicle had just passed by not long ago.
This is good news for the reconnaissance team, as patrol vehicles usually do not return for a short period of time after passing by.
They rushed forward in a hurry, intending to complete the reconnaissance and return safely before the patrol car from the base appeared.
A moment later, some team members discovered metallic reflections in the mud ahead, and soon they found a metal round block with red light flashing at the edge from time to time. It looked like an infantry mine, but this shape had never been seen before.
The reconnaissance team has discovered metal circles like this one one after another. They are everywhere, some are several meters apart, and some are almost touching each other.
The captain of the reconnaissance team took out a matchbox-sized device, fiddled with it for a while, and then pressed it against the metal blocks. The red light on the edge of the metal blocks suddenly turned green, and the captain picked up a stone and threw it at one of the metal blocks.
Seeing nothing unusual, the captain nodded, made a gesture, and led the team through the area.
They finally arrived at the outer wall of the base. These people did not sneak into the base, but took out some machine parts from their backpacks. They quickly assembled the parts, and it turned out to be a spectral scanner.
This scanner can scan the environment of the surrounding area with a scanning depth of up to one kilometer and can penetrate obstacles such as armor, soil, walls, and buildings.
When used close to the base, it can basically scan the entire base. With the efforts of the reconnaissance team, they quickly obtained some data.
Just as Lu Jian had guessed, there were many guards and other personnel in the base, but not to the point of danger.
After obtaining this information, the reconnaissance leader sent the results back before leading the team away.
Similar information was constantly sent back from other reconnaissance teams. Seeing this result, Lu Jian no longer hesitated and ordered an attack.
Since these teams were infiltrating enemy territory, they had no tanks and could not carry heavy firepower.
Therefore, the first wave of attack on the base can only be completed by the elemental hearts in the army.
A moment later, red spots suddenly appeared on the ground inside and outside the walls of the material base. Then thick pillars of fire erupted from the spots, creating a violent explosion that immediately paralyzed the perimeter of the base.
A shrill alarm sounded in the base, and storm troopers who received the order poured out from all directions. The fortresses on the side of the Skyfortress immediately released a "holding force field" together, and tanks equipped with heavy artillery drove in the direction of the attack.
At this time, Lu Jian took the lead and wanted to smash these chariots with one sword to create conditions for his own personnel.
The general of Jingtao Castle released the energy of the stars, forming a huge aura. With the help of his anti-gravity organs, he ascended step by step to the sky. When he was high in the sky, he was not afraid at all that he would be used as a living boot. His long sword burned with silver light, making him look majestic and invincible.
Lu Jian was thinking about saying a few polite words to save his own face and to dampen the enemy's arrogance.
But before he could finish his words, an aura suddenly unfolded in the logistics base. This aura was even more powerful, and it blocked the words Lu Jian was about to say.
Then, a huge image of mountains rose up in front of General Jingtao Fort. One illusory peak after another rose from the ground, and on the highest peak, a golden beast leaped out.
The beast, which looked like a lion and a tiger, was spewing brilliant golden flames all over its body, filling this world with supreme majesty.
Lu Jian subconsciously wanted to bow to the golden beast, and the charging soldiers of Jingtian Castle were even worse. Not only did they stop, but the ordinary soldiers also curled up on the ground with their heads in their hands. Even the sublimator officers had trembling legs and their teeth chattering.
They all lost the courage to fight in front of this golden beast...
