On this day, the night in the mining area was still as peaceful as usual. After a busy day of work, the miners had all returned to the barracks outside to rest.
The soldiers on duty were now standing at the outskirts of the mining area with full concentration.
The team of 1,500 people was divided into three teams, each with 500 people.
Three teams take turns on duty and rest, ensuring that each group of guards can remain in high spirits.
Just as the night began to grow darker, a series of footsteps were heard around the mining area.
The sounds were very small at first and went unnoticed. By the time they began to grow louder and attracted the attention of the sentries on duty, the owner of the footsteps had already approached the mining area.
"Enemy attack, everyone pay attention!!!"
Suddenly a sentry’s voice was heard, and several rays of spiritual energy flashed around the mining area.
A group of big men wearing heavy armor and holding huge axes rushed out from the nearby jungle and attacked the soldiers on duty.
Alarm bells suddenly rang outside the mining area, and the guards began shouting "enemy attack".
The giant man in heavy armor pulled countless people with him. The uniform heavy armor and the uniform giant axe made them look extremely powerful when they charged.
These people not only have the same spiritual weapons and armor, they even have exactly the same talismans.
Everyone's talisman is a giant feather, which can not only surround the surroundings for defense, but can also be gathered together to form an overwhelming attack.
This is exactly what the big men did at this moment. The huge feathers gathered into a ball, like a swarm of wasps, covering the unprepared mining soldiers. The mining soldiers could only immediately activate their spiritual armor and talismans for defense.
However, the strength of the soldiers on both sides was almost the same. Under the large-scale coverage of the feathers, many people were cut by dozens of pieces in an instant, and their defenses were directly torn apart.
The feathers that followed behind easily took their lives.
After just one encounter, sixty or seventy of the five hundred guards fell to the ground, most of them died instantly, and the few who survived had completely lost their combat capability.
Among the guards, a firework shot up and instantly rushed into the air.
The soldiers in the camp in the distance suddenly became nervous after seeing the fireworks.
Tenglong's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted anxiously, "The mining area has been attacked, the situation is urgent, everyone gather, let's go to the rescue!!!"
All the soldiers who were resting were immediately called up, and began to form a team and rush towards the mining area in a mighty manner.
The battle in the mining area proceeded very quickly. The number of the big men was not large, only about 500 at most, not much different from the soldiers on duty in the mining area.
However, their sudden attack and extremely powerful unified combat capability almost tore through the defenders' defenses in an instant.
After the giants used their talismans to clear a path, they rushed into the crowd. Their giant axes and heavy armor made their attacks full of impact.
Although the defenders were also elite, the other side was clearly well prepared and was very clear about the distribution and positions of their personnel.
Basically, they were moving forward completely according to the pre-planned route and were invincible wherever they went.
The defenders were stunned for a moment by this giant troop shrouded in countless feathers, and could not form any organized resistance at all. In just a few moments, one or two hundred people were killed or wounded, and the rest were also retreating.
The remaining guards had to quickly retreat, trying to gather together and work together to stop the charge of this giant army.
However, the other party did not give them much chance to think. After rushing into the mining area, they immediately split into two, forming a lightly armed team of fifty people.
At first, this team was surrounded by the army of giants and was not noticed at all. When they appeared at this time, the defenders found that these fifty people were surrounded by wind power, which increased their speed to the extreme.
This extremely fast team of fifty people rushed into another newly dug cave not far from the mine.
This is where the furnace used to smelt ore is located, and the smelted material ingots are also temporarily stored here.
This team of fifty people quickly rushed into the cave, easily killed the soldiers on duty, and found the smelted mixed iron lapis lazuli and peacock corundum.
After collecting all the materials, the team quickly left the cave with a roar.
Hearing their roars, the giant brigade turned around and started running back. The two sides joined together and retreated the same way they came at an even faster speed than when they came, disappearing into the night.
The leader of the guards was Tan Fei, the second in command of the Yellow Bandits. He had just gathered the scattered guards together. He had been a soldier in the past and knew very well how powerful the army that had just attacked them was. They were definitely not ordinary people.
As soon as the enemy's large group left, Tenglong led his men to attack. However, all that was left in the mining area were only a hundred corpses, a hundred wounded soldiers, and some dazed guards.
"What happened, Tan Fei!
Where are the enemies? Where have they gone!!!"
Tenglong rushed to Tan Fei in two steps and asked anxiously.
Tan Fei pointed to the place where the enemy left not far away and said, "They have already retreated from there. There is no need to chase them. With our team's mobility, we will definitely not be able to catch up!"
If a team of a thousand people wants to maintain formation and move, it is basically impossible for them to be faster than a team of five hundred people. Now that the other party has snatched the things, they can just flee in all directions.
Even if Tenglong took people to chase after them, they would probably find nothing.
What's more, Tenglong was a step too late. The other party had already withdrawn for a while, so it was too late for him to chase them.
"Who are they? We came here as soon as we received the signal. How could you have suffered such heavy casualties in such a short time!!!"
Tenglong looked at the wounded soldiers on the ground and felt a little unbelievable.
“I don’t know who they are, but I know they are definitely not ordinary people.
Not only are they extremely capable in combat, but their unity far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, and they have a complete grasp of the distribution of guards throughout our mining area.
The route the enemy took to charge was all along the connection points of our defense, which immediately divided our several defense areas, reducing our defensive capabilities to the lowest level.
Moreover, they knew exactly where the ore we smelted was stored. After plundering all the ore as quickly as possible, they left directly without wasting even a moment. It was really terrifying!!!"
