"You mean, we are just here to act as bait this time?" Jeff said after thinking for a while.
"You can say that." Kordak did not deny it: "The real mission Alexander gave me and Just was to attract part of the enemy's troops. As for the supplies, if conditions permit, it is okay to destroy them."
"Then what is your highness going to do?" Jeff asked again. Since both their side and Just's side were fighting feint attacks, Alexander must be the real home of the battle. And what is he going to do
"Only the devil knows what he is going to do." Kordak shrugged: "I just received the order and followed the order. As for what he is going to do, I don't know, but I think the situation there will definitely be more dangerous. Some."
"So that's it..." Everyone now understands. Indeed, if it is just the original plan, the risks and benefits are not proportional. After all, Harden knew that the news of the material delivery had been leaked. If he just sabotaged it according to the original plan, this approach would be too dangerous.
So, Alexander changed his plans. On the surface, he claimed to be destroying the transport team, but in fact, he was using the two teams as bait to attract nearby troops. With the elite level of the Golden Eagle Knights, it is impossible to encircle and kill them without a large number of troops. If Harden wants to kill both of their teams, he must send a large number of troops. At this time, there will definitely be a certain stronghold that is empty of troops, and this is the gap Alexander is looking for!
"Okay." Kordak spread his hands: "This is the real situation, but I don't want you to hold a grudge against Alexander just because he used you as bait. I think his own mission may be more dangerous. "
"Captain, don't worry about this. We have been following His Highness for some time, and we all know what he is like. I believe that as long as he says a word, all the brothers here will not frown even if they go to the sword mountain or the sea of fire." Jeff smiled. explain.
"That's good." Kordak nodded: "Okay, it's almost time. The Stoke people should be close to here. Our next task is to take these guys around to buy time. and… "
"And?" Jeff was stunned.
"And don't forget our original mission, tell me what it is?" Kordak glanced at everyone.
"Destroy the material transport team!" Everyone said in unison.
"Very good!" Kordak nodded: "You may not be familiar with me yet, but I, Kordak, am here to assure you that even if it is only temporary, I will cherish the life of every one of my subordinates! I will maximize my abilities so that everyone can complete their tasks well and go back safely! Please believe me!"
"We believe in you, captain!" It was only then that the knights of the Golden Eagle Knights felt a sense of identity with this temporary commander.
"Very good, now, go back and find the horses and follow me! Let those guys know how powerful we are!" Kordak commanded with confidence.
…
Pato Town was originally just an ordinary town, but since the war between the two empires began, all the townspeople could not bear the torture of the war and chose to pack up their luggage and leave their hometown. This empty town was also used by the Stoke Empire and became a military stronghold for them.
Pato Town has a unique geographical location with well-developed transportation routes from east to west, north to south. Therefore, although this base is not large, it has very important significance.
If it were normal, this military stronghold would have at least a thousand garrison troops stationed there. But half an hour ago, the commander of this town suddenly received an order to detach two knight squadrons to the specified location to encircle and suppress the infiltrated Hawke Empire elites.
It is said that the two teams belong to the Golden Eagle Knights of the Hawke Empire, although their total number is only about twenty. But as long as they are members of the Golden Eagle Knights, they belong to the elite of the Hawke Empire. It is not too much to send a squadron of knights to cooperate in the encirclement and suppression.
At this time, Alexander had arrived at the town of Pato where the defense force was empty. Although there are only a dozen of them, their average level has reached level 13, and they even have absolute powerhouses like Alexander, the level 17 light splitter. Therefore, although the number of people on the opposite side was about twenty times that of his own, the team members led by Alexander were still confident about it.
"Everyone rest, and prepare to fight in one and a half hours!" Alexander said. This was the time he estimated. If you act quickly, the battle should be resolved within two hours. So he left an hour and a half in advance to keep the troops chasing Kordak and Just away, so that even if they returned to defense immediately, it would be too late.
"This battle may be difficult and dangerous." Alexander glanced at everyone, and then said: "So, if you don't want to participate, it's still too late to withdraw. I reiterate again that the enemy we face may be our own. ten times."
"What are you saying, Your Highness?" A middle-aged man actually said with a smile: "Since we have chosen to follow you, then we absolutely believe you. We all know how much you cherish the lives of your men. Although we are not lacking The courage to sacrifice one's life for the country, but we believe that as long as you are here, we will be able to go back safely."
"Thank you for your support." Alexander was speechless. Being able to have this kind of trust can be said to be his biggest gain in the past few years in the army, right
"Don't know what the requirements are after we go in?" asked an old man in a cloth robe. He is the mage accompanying the first squadron of the Golden Eagle Knights. This time he will follow Alexander deep behind enemy lines. He will be in charge of the fort.
"There are no requirements." Alexander said: "This is a fully military base. There are no civilians or prisoners of our army inside. After entering, destroy all the enemies you see. It would be best if you can also destroy the buildings. That’s it.”
"In that case, I understand." The mage licked his lips excitedly. He specializes in fire plasticity and transformation spells, and arson is a great enjoyment for him.
"But don't overdo it..." Alexander reminded. He knew that sometimes the mage would accidentally hurt his allies when he got too excited...
"Okay..." The mage quickly suppressed his emotions upon hearing this.
…
"Hey, stop taking a nap and be alert." A guard walked over and kicked his sleepy companion.
The guard who was woken up was quite dissatisfied: "We are all so far back, how can there be enemies? Let me tell you, we don't even need sentries!"
"Idiot!" the first guard cursed: "Haven't you heard? Our stronghold sent two squadrons just to clean up the two elite teams infiltrated by the Hawke Empire. Since they have squads that can run over there, they can also It’s possible to get here.”
"Tsk, what a fuss." The second guard curled his lips: "I think you are too timid."
"Whatever you say, but... poof..." Before the first person could finish speaking, a strange sound came from his mouth.
The second guard turned around and saw a thin warrior looking at him coldly with a bloody dagger. But before he could scream, another soldier standing behind him slit his throat.
"You deal with the sentry tower on the left. The enemies on the right and in the middle are mine." One soldier said to another soldier.
"no problem."
Both warriors took out their bows and arrows, and then accurately shot the enemy between the eyebrows.
After clearing away the guards at the door, Alexander led the team and continued towards the interior of the base. It's already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and you will definitely find a large number of sleeping enemies in the dormitory at this time.
"It's up to you." After determining the location of the dormitory, Alexander turned to the mage and said.
"Watch it!" The mage smiled slightly, and then began to cast spells and chant word by word.
A few seconds later, a violent bolt of thunder and lightning energy fell from the sky. They directly bombarded the roof of one of the dormitories, shattering the entire house.
Alexander shook his head and looked at it, feeling that this scene was like the wrath of Thor. He couldn't help but sigh: "In terms of destructive power, no one can compare with the mage..."
"But under normal circumstances, no one would let a mage read a spell in vain..." The mage's face was a little pale. He just cast the seventh-level spell Lightning Storm, a highly destructive high-level spell like this. The consumption is astonishing. He made a rough estimate and felt that just that blow had used up a quarter of his magic power.
"I'd better work harder on you." Alexander handed the mage two bottles of high-level magic potions, which he had prepared in advance. If you want to achieve a harvest state in this battle, you must let the only mage in the team give his best. effect. These two bottles of magic potion will be very crucial for the mage.
"Thank you very much." The mage drank a bottle without hesitation. After feeling that his magic power began to increase at a very obvious speed, the mage continued to cast spells.
The brute force of a group of cattle, the endurance of a group of bears, the elegance of a group of cats, and the acceleration of a group. These magical effects are only two or three level spells when cast individually, but once they are cast in a group, they will become six or seven level spells. After casting these spells, the old mage was so tired that his eyes rolled back.
If he hadn't often cast this kind of buff spell for the entire team, and had practiced these spells to the point of proficiency, I'm afraid he would have fainted by now!
The movement of the lightning storm has caused the entire military base to boil. Many soldiers woke up from their sweet dreams. They hurriedly climbed out of their warm beds and looked for any weapons they could get to fight the enemy.
At this time, the knights of the Hawk Empire, who were blessed by the magic of the mage, each chose a dormitory. They rushed in single-handedly and began their own journey of massacre.
Alexander stood alone at the door of the dormitory. He knew that there were at most 200 people in this dormitory, and all of these people would be handled by his soldiers. The remaining more than a hundred soldiers who were still standing guard outside would probably come back soon after hearing the noise. And these more than a hundred people will be eliminated by Alexander alone!
