"How is the situation now?" Tilly asked. novel .
"The enemies who intercepted the convoy were almost wiped out, and the devils still in the sky were fleeing backwards. We should have won." Sylvie replied.
"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to perform in the end," Andrea shrugged with regret, "It seems that the last time the devil was seriously injured."
The Seagull did not participate in the battle, but kept hovering in the clouds, guarding against Hykezord or other high-level devils that might appear. After all, the most effective way to deal with these people with strange abilities is still Andrea's close-range sniping.
Unlike his partner who was less interested, Sylvie was relieved.
She knew that this counterattack was not the same as the last ambush against the Vault of Heaven Lord. The reason why the enemy never noticed the existence of the Seagull was because she was not on the plane at the time. Changes in the situation on the battlefield are conveyed by listening to the sigil, and even if she has been exposed to the vigilant beholder's field of vision, the Seagull has disappeared.
But this time, because she needed to stay away from the camp to fight, she had to follow the Seagull in order to play the role of commanding the overall situation. It is also for this reason that if the Lord of the Vault of Heaven appears with a new alert beholder, the Seagull will also be discovered by the other party. In other words, only when Hykezord or other high-level devils appear alone, can Andrea's attack achieve unexpected results.
Otherwise, it is hard to predict what the situation of the next battle will develop if one misses a hit.
So it's a good thing they don't show up.
After all, there is nothing more satisfying than completing a mission successfully and everyone returning safely.
"It's better that you don't do it. If Hykezord really comes, I don't think the team will be able to retreat." Tilly shook her head helplessly, "I guess Edith was also gambling when she made this plan. A vigilant beholder that can move freely is not something that can be replenished immediately when it is worn out, so the Vault of Heaven Lord does not dare to appear rashly."
These words almost spoke Sylvie's heart.
She couldn't help but nodded again and again, as expected of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!
"By the way..." Tilly drove the glider out of the clouds, "Since the victory has been decided, let's confirm the result before evacuating."
For this kind of thing, Sylvie is considered to be very experienced. Without the barriers of obstacles, she can complete a rough inspection of the battlefield with only a small amount of magic power.
However, the moment she came to the conclusion, she couldn't help being stunned.
"Two thousand... no, close to three thousand..."
"Three thousand?" Wendy said in surprise, "How come there are so many?"
"Those mad demons" Sylvie looked at the hillside and took a deep breath, "They didn't come towards the convoy before, but were fleeing in all directions!"
It was only then that she noticed the dense holes on the top of the mountain. Obviously, in order to reduce the consumption of fog, most of the enemies had drilled into the ground, and they would only be awakened when they needed to fight. But when the fortress monsters collapsed, the red mist without a source of supply quickly dissipated, and these demons ushered in the disaster.
They swarmed out not to eliminate the attackers, but to sense the dissipation of the mist, and instinctively burrowed out of their hiding places, rushing down the mountain, hoping to reach the next red mist supply site before their breathing was cut off.
However, whether it is Xisha City or Shenchi Bay, it is too far away from them.
The world that had been atomized by the red mist became clean and clear again, but to the devil, it was a dead place that could not survive. They fell to the ground before they ran far, and spread out evenly at the foot of the hillside. Except for a few mad demons with gas tanks, most of them have been silent at the moment.
The staff is undoubtedly correct on this point. Just as Greycastle couldn't equip every soldier with God's Stone of Retribution, the enemy couldn't distribute fog cans and breathing apparatus to every madman. After the fully equipped army was transferred to attack the human city, only those troops who were originally active in the red fog area were left behind.
If it were two more nights, the situation might be different.
Even recruiting drivers from outside the army was in a hurry to launch a counterattack the day after the First Army withdrew from Shenchi Bay. It must be said that this decision was extremely decisive.
"I think the name Pearl of the North will spread to the four kingdoms after this war." Tilly pouted.
…
Nearly 3,000 enemy troops were annihilated with a team of less than 100 people. The front and back losses were only one steam truck and two Tianhuo. No one was injured or killed. This successful counterattack made the morale of the First Army headquarters high. , Everyone's voice was much higher when reporting work.
But Edith did not show any satisfaction because of this, and she threw out her next battle plan almost on the day the news of the victory reached Cage Mountain.
The plan was immediately approved by the commander-in-chief Iron Axe.
Even on the way back, the convoy received an order to divert to the west pass of Cage Mountain. The truck carrying the special pure water for Rubik's Cube joined him on the way, replenished the water for the entire team, merged into the team, and drove west together.
The Aerial Knight returned to Thorns Town, took off again after a short preparation, and arrived at Xi'ai Airport before nightfall.
At noon the next day, the motorcade that had been rushing all day and night also entered the Western Region of Wolf Heart. With potholes and other obstacles on the road more difficult to navigate at night, three more steam trucks were damaged along the way, while the remaining trucks were thrown into the attack on another fortress monster.
Although the devils have realized that humans are playing the idea of moving the obelisks, what they did not expect is that in just one and a half days, the counterattack team completed the transfer across the heart of the wolf. Another fortress monster had just withdrawn to Fengxiao Fort at this time. In the absence of external protection, the convoy approached within ten kilometers under the harassment of several patrolling terror beasts, and put down four fortress guns.
The Aerial Knights once again played the role of "hunters". With the tacit cooperation of Sylvie and Tilly, this group of newcomers who had only been on the battlefield for less than half a year almost re-enacted the process of the previous battle, taking advantage of the enemy's flying troops to use artillery as a weapon. As their primary target, they swooped down from the top of the enemy's head, breaking the opponent's formation in an instant.
The monstrous beasts were blown to pieces by the roar of artillery fire, and facing the convoy guarded by the Witch of God's Punishment, a small number of mad demons could not hold them back even if they got close.
On the third day, the enemy finally began to expand the defense circle of the four cities, and sent people to destroy the hardened roads that were simply laid between the cities. However, the entire front was hundreds of kilometers long, and it was almost impossible to make it watertight. matter. That day, the steam truck drove past the area dozens of kilometers outside the fine sand city, attracting the devil's eyes to himself. The twenty-five Tianhuo bypassed the towering Desperate Mountains as planned, and went directly to the back of Jinshiling. Mist supply lines were strafed.
At this time, the impact of the two consecutive defeats in the air battles and the long battle lines on the devil gradually became apparent. When they gathered enough terrifying beasts to rush to the scene, the air knights had already disappeared into the sky with the cold wind whistling. .
