Night fell quickly, and Gruul's position was filled with the light of torches everywhere.
Beta also felt the flow of many sources of magic power in the air, which indicated that many magicians on the other side were using magic. Most of them are detection magic, but the effect is not very strong, and Beta can feel it.
Beta and the others were in the grove. He stood in the middle, with ten archers on the left and ten thieves on the right.
"I will apply a group acceleration technique to all of you archers later, and you should lurk here first." Beta spread out the temporary map and pointed to a point: "This is a high ground, and it is relatively steep. It is easy to go up, but it is a bit difficult for others. Shoot and harass at this point, and find a way to attract their attention. If the enemy approaches you within 100 meters, you must evacuate quickly. Those of you who have the acceleration technique , moving in the forest, no one should be able to catch up."
Beta looked at the right side: "I will act together with the thieves later, and I will give you a secondary fading technique. Although the effect is not very strong, it is enough to cooperate with your invisibility technique. Wait for the archers to attract them. After paying attention, we sneaked into the enemy's barracks, the effective time of the secondary fading technique is only four hours, remember to leave the enemy's position before the effect of the fading technique disappears, and come back here to gather."
"But there are only four hours, and we can't find much." A thief said.
"It's okay, we have two days. It's enough for us to have several 'four hours'." Beta smiled: "After all, there is an old saying that you can't be on guard against a thief who takes a fancy to your property all the time."
Everyone laughed. This sentence is a compliment to the thieves. With just such a sentence, Beta successfully narrowed the relationship with the thieves.
"Okay, act now, be careful, and go back alive to claim your military exploits."
Beta made a gesture, and a magical halo enveloped the bodies of the ten archers. They nodded to Beta and quickly left the grove.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Beta estimated that the archers had already walked halfway, so he cast a fade technique on the rest of the thieves, and then led them to the right wing of the Gruul front with their bodies bent.
The defense there looks weaker.
At the same time, in the 7th Infantry Battalion of the Gruul Front, Valentine, the deputy commander of the Battalion, was leading his subordinates to patrol the left flank of the front. (The perspective is different. From Beta’s point of view, the enemy’s right wing is the enemy’s left wing.)
He looked at the sparse torches around him, feeling a little worried.
The defense force here is obviously insufficient, and there are no powerful magicians sitting nearby, so it is easy to be infiltrated by enemy scouts or thieves.
It's just that he can't be the master of this matter.
In the camp just now, he was scolded by the battalion commander because of this.
He asked the battalion commander to put back part of the troops leaning on the right wing, but the battalion commander vetoed it. He reasoned hard, saying that the line close to the central army was already 'thick' enough, but on the left side, the defensive force was obviously not enough.
The battalion commander couldn't talk to him, so he became furious and threw a cup on his head, knocking him out.
Sighing a little worriedly, Valentine had no choice but to lead his subordinates to patrol on the left side.
The moonlight is very bright. It is reasonable to say that in such a climate, it is very knowledgeable for night reconnaissance. The enemy will generally not infiltrate in this environment, after all, the success rate is low.
But for some reason, Valentine just felt a little restless.
Soon, he discovered that his instincts were right. A shower of arrows shot down from the upper left.
At that moment, more than a dozen soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.
Relying on his keen intuition, he found that the shooting point was on a small mountain. It wasn't a good place to stay, the peak was too small, so they didn't send people up to defend it.
But how did the enemy get up.
In this wave of arrow rain, Daquan had more than a hundred arrows, and the trajectory of the arrows was a bit messy. It could be seen that the enemy used the rapid-fire skill, and the number of them should be between ten and twenty.
"Find cover." Valentine shouted, blocking the shield he was carrying upwards.
The small mountain was quite high, and it was impossible for his archers to counterattack. He shouted to the left: "The third light shield swordsman team, a phalanx of one hundred people, press over and take back the small mountain."
"yes."
As soon as the phalanx was formed, the second wave of arrow rain came, and this time the soldiers with the torches were heavily attacked.
Another dozen soldiers fell to the ground, five of whom were holding torches.
Are they attacking the light source
Thinking of this, Valentine immediately understood the other party's intentions, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful around you, don't let the thieves sneak past."
As soon as he said this, he saw a flash of lightning shooting towards him.
He reacted quickly, and blocked the shield in his hand in front of him. The shield in his hand was specially made for him by his family, and it contained some precious anti-magic materials. He thought he could block this magic attack, but unexpectedly, he felt a strange force knocking him into the air. At the same time, the shield in his hand The shield was smashed to pieces.
Such strong magic!
Dead.
Valentine fell from mid-air, and the long sword in his hand was thrown aside. Then he saw a shape-like shadow attacking him.
In despair, he could only close his eyes.
The expected severe pain did not come, and there was a jingle in my ear, followed by a familiar shout: "Fool, stand up quickly."
It was the battalion commander's voice.
Valentine opened his eyes and saw that the battalion commander was wearing armor and blocked the attack of a figure with a shield.
Because of the violent action, the magic effect on the attacker gradually disappeared, and then the two saw the enemy in front of them, who turned out to be a rather handsome young man.
Valentine got up, picked up his long sword at the same time, and was about to step forward and attack the enemy with the battalion commander, but the opponent was very smart, chuckled, retreated a few steps, and threw a ball of light.
"Close your eyes!"
The battalion commander let out a shout.
Varun trusted the battalion commander's judgment and immediately closed his eyes.
Then through the eyelids, I could also feel the white light in the eyes flashing up for a while, and after two seconds, it went dark again.
There were screams from the side, and many soldiers who hadn't had time to close their eyes were stung by the bright light, and lost their eyesight in a short time.
He immediately opened his eyes and placed the long sword across his chest, guarding against the enemy's attack.
But he saw that the attacker had already run away, leaving only a black shadow.
The battalion commander was about to order a group of people to chase after him, but the words were silent, and another wave of arrows rained down in the air. The battalion commander was so angry that he let the light armored swordsman touch it and wiped out all the enemies.
The result was obvious, but when the light armored swordsman climbed the hill, the enemy had already left.
Valentine looked at the chaotic barracks and sighed. He felt that when he was closing his eyes to prevent being blinded by the white light, it seemed that someone ran past him quickly.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
