Mario witnessed all this, first heaving a sigh of relief, then frowning.
He was a little relieved that all the black knights died in battle, but the behavior of all the black knights dying in battle made him puzzled - he didn't understand why Sarin's side insisted on doing this.
For so many days, whether they sent a small group of black cavalry with dozens of people or a large group of black cavalry with hundreds of people, the result was that without exception, they all died in battle.
He didn't have much commanding ability, and he didn't know how to accurately describe this situation, but he always felt that it would be more effective to not carry out infiltration attacks in waves, but to gather together and launch a general offensive.
"What's the point of dying so simply?" Mario couldn't help but muttered. The black knight burned down the grain depot and left him hungry for a long time. In his opinion, although he was a little annoyed, it was not unbearable.
These words were heard by the leader of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment not far away. He looked back at Mario and said expressionlessly: "No matter what the meaning is, there is no need to think about it. General Sauron said, Shalin makes sand." Lin's, let's fight ours - Sarin will die if he wants to, we just carry out the plan."
"Uh, yes." Mario lowered his head and responded softly.
The leader of the Red Maple Cavalry ignored Mario and looked at the battlefield in the distance. After confirming that all the black knights were killed and there was no possibility of their group interfering, he expressed a solemn expression and said: "Okay, it seems that we are not needed here, so let's go into the mountain. As a vanguard, we can help everyone see. What other tricks does Sarin have waiting for us?”
"Yes." Many cavalry members of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment responded in unison.
"Let's go!" The leader of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment moved forward with a dozen horses, and the rest of the cavalry, including Mario, quickly followed.
…
night.
In the Confused Mountains, on the plains, inside the tent of the temporary staff headquarters.
"General, our team has entered the mountain." A blue-eyed staff officer reported to the military god Sauron.
Sauron glanced at the staff officer and asked aloud: "What's the reaction from Sarin?"
"They..." the staff officer's light blue eyes flashed, and he replied aloud, "It's strange. Since our middle force entered the Chaos Mountains, their infiltration attacks have not only not increased, but have decreased significantly. It can be said that they are almost non-existent. .”
"No longer exists?" Sauron touched his chin, looked at the staff and asked, "What is your staff's conclusion on this?"
"The staff concluded that perhaps sarin has fulfilled its combat purpose, which is why it has so significantly reduced the number of infiltration attacks." The staff officer said, hesitating and said, "But the key is that we still don't know what the purpose of sarin is. .As of now, our team has not suffered much loss at all, nor has it changed much.
The difference from before is that we came to the Chaotic Mountains, and the support from the rear was also in place, and our combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced. Some people have speculated before that Sarin may want to mobilize our rear forces, gather them together, and then use some secret weapons or special large-scale spells to inflict heavy damage. Not to mention whether this can be achieved, we have already followed your instructions to disperse the team again. If Sarin actually attacks, the effect will not be good. "
Sauron frowned, thought for a moment and asked: "Where has our fastest team reached? Where has the slowest team reached?"
"This..." The blue-eyed staff officer was stunned for a moment and looked to the side.
The companion next to him, another elderly grey-eyed staff officer, spoke to Sauron: "General, according to the latest news, our fastest team has arrived at Wailing Mountain, and the slowest team has just crossed Accra Pass.”
Sauron walked to the sand table in the tent, looked at it, and narrowed his eyes: "Wailing Mountain? Accra Pass?"
As if he had discovered something, he picked up a wooden stick and slid from the Wailing Mountain toward the sand forest. After sliding for a while, he stopped at the gap between the two mountains.
"Rocks Pass." Sauron read out the name of the place, and then the wooden stick slid back and stopped at the Akela Pass.
After Sauron's drawing, many staff members saw some information.
Starting from the Accra Pass and ending at the Rocks Pass, the terrain in the middle is relatively flat, like a valley surrounded by many mountains.
More vividly, this is like a bag. The entrance to the bag is the Accra Pass and the exit is the Rocks Pass. The troops in the middle of the Reef Castle are distributed in the center of the bag.
"If..." Sauron said, "If Sarin is smart enough and finds a way to deploy elite forces at these two mountain passes, he can trap our hundreds of thousands of troops here."
Many staff members showed frightened expressions after hearing this.
However, the older gray-eyed staff officer remained calm and said: "General, what you said is indeed possible, but the possibility is not high. The first is the Accra Pass, which is behind us, and we have enough With a large amount of reconnaissance force, no Sarin people have been found to take our back route so far, so the Accra Pass is safe for the time being.
In addition, there is a risk of being blocked at Rocks Pass, but Rocks Pass is not narrow and can fully accommodate tens of thousands or even nearly 100,000 troops. If it is really blocked, we can use our fighting power to fight it out. "
After hearing what he said, Soran glanced at the gray-eyed staff officer, pondered for a few seconds and agreed: "Mr. Noel is right, I was overly concerned."
"But having said that, you still need to take precautions, and be careful." Sauron added.
As he spoke, Sauron picked up two small red flags and inserted them into the sand table. As he inserted them, he said: "Pass my order to have some elite troops speed up to Rocks Pass and station them there to guard. In addition, from the rear, Mobilize part of the force to guard the Accra Pass. In this way, even if Sarin has no conspiracy, we can consolidate our food routes and ensure the safety of subsequent food and material transportation."
"Yes." A young staff officer responded and walked out.
When he walked to the exit of the tent, two explosions were heard very suddenly in the night outside.
The sound was extremely low, like a giant hammer hitting the ground. It made people's heartbeats stop and feel a little stuffy.
The young staff officer who was about to pass the order was stunned for a moment, and then heard a "crash" next to him. Before he could react, he was hit by a wooden frame with a map hanging on his body and knocked to the ground.
A few seconds later, the young staff officer was dragged out from under the wooden frame by his companions. He was not seriously injured, but he was a little confused about what was going on.
The people in the tent were also wondering, what happened
Sauron looked at the sand table at hand with some awareness, and saw that the terrain shaped with sand cracked in the vibration, and fine soil continued to collapse from the cracks.
He tilted his head and looked outside the tent in the direction of the two explosions. He pondered for two seconds and whispered: "It seems to be in the direction of Accra Pass and Rocks Pass."
this!
The expressions of the people in the tent changed, and at this moment Sauron had already strode out.
Everyone quickly followed up and followed Sauron out of the tent, looking at the locations of Accra Pass and Rocks Pass in the night. Then I saw two exaggeratedly large fires rising in my field of vision, rising higher and higher...
