A good commander should first have a keen sense of smell.
There is no doubt that Gu Bai Zhi Ye is a commander with such qualities. Time passed by minute by second, and he quietly took out his pocket watch. The dial was covered with a layer of shimmer - a quarter of an hour had passed.
The warning signs in his heart were rising little by little.
The information coming from the comprehensive communication channel made him realize that his opponent did not act according to his ideas:
"Here is a group, no trace of each other found."
"They didn't follow us either."
"There is no trace of the enemy on our side."
"The other party seems to have lost contact with us?"
The people of the Blood Oath were not so easy to let them go, so Gubai Zhiye put away his pocket watch and smelled a hint of danger.
The other party went through a lot of trouble just to let them go? Obviously this logic cannot be self-consistent. He might be able to comfort himself, but—
“Leading things to chance never leads to good results.”
He shook his head, throwing the man's words out of his mind.
How to analyze the current situation under adversity? He only learned one trick from the opponent, the exhaustive method.
List all the most likely reasons one by one, and then eliminate them one by one. It may seem complicated, but in fact, the most efficient and logical ones are never more than one or two.
Because excellent commanders often have a convergent way of thinking, coupled with the constraints of conditions, the so-called ever-changing on the battlefield is actually just the same.
The only thing he fears is that the conditions are uncertain and the opponent is uncertain.
But now the opponent, time, space and distance are all determined. If he follows his ideas, they should have appeared.
unless--
Gu Bai Zhi Ye sorted out all the conditions, his face changed slightly, he drew a line on the map and raised his eyebrows: "Groups 2 and 3, be careful behind you!"
"What?"
A confused voice came from the communicator, but it immediately turned into a horrified cry:
"There's someone behind you!"
"They are people from the Blood Oath. How did they get around behind us!?"
"They found us."
"Evacuate," Gu Bai's ambition sank uncontrollably: "Evacuate to the north, don't look back."
"Captain, there are people here too! We are surrounded!"
The sound on the communicator was replaced by a burst of noise, followed by a beep of lost contact.
The channel was a little quiet for a while.
"Captain, what should I do?"
People looked at each other a little bit. They were the elite of the Rain Listeners, but compared to the real guild troupes, they were actually better than ordinary Chosen Ones but limited.
On the one-sided battlefield, his weak side was also exposed.
"Don't be confused." Gubai Zhiye replied in a deep voice.
He reexamined his judgment and realized the problem.
Maybe there are other combat craftsmen on the other side, or maybe that combat craftsman is good enough and there are more than two observation points on the battlefield.
He hadn't thought about the full field of vision yet, but he also secretly said something cunning. The other party deliberately misled him into making wrong judgments at the beginning. It seemed that he had a comprehensive understanding of himself.
Blood Oath is really prepared this time.
And it is a counterattack under disadvantage, and wrong judgment often brings fatal consequences.
However, there is not much self-reproach in Gubai's ambition. On the battlefield, there is deception and being deceived, and there will always be a loser. In fact, he is not a genius, he is just more tenacious than ordinary people and knows how to learn from failures.
But he was not optimistic.
"It's better to cover each other and evacuate. There are no other arrangements this time. Try to break out separately."
He thought to himself that if his opponent wanted to eat them, he would have to use several times the manpower.
If they can get it, then they can at least confirm that the Blood Oath has deployed the entire Anlan Brigade here.
If you can't take it out, then it's a shame. After they leave, they will naturally lure the main force of the Rainers to return to this place again.
In fact, this is no longer arranging tactics, but rather giving out last words, and the rest is left to fate.
If they were lucky enough, they could escape with their lives, but if they were not lucky enough, they would have to meet again at the Resurrection Temple.
It's just that there are not many resurrection points in the Green Dragon Mountains, and it may not be safe to resurrect in the Resurrection Temple.
"clear."
"Understood, Captain."
The communication channel responded with a short confirmation, and then entered a state of silence.
Gu Baizhiye put away the communication crystal, glanced at the direction where the people of the Blood Oath might be in the darkness, and left the place silently.
He knew that he was actually not safe, and the other party would probably regard him as one of the main targets, but that was fine, he wanted to see who the other party was.
But this is the moment.
An incredible voice came from the communication channel:
"Captain, there is something strange here..."
Above mid-air——
Kaka is calmly switching the perspective of the clockwork fairy.
"Bearing A23, 18, 11, the target is one person. It is initially determined to be an archer, y. You can avoid his front view by turning to the right."
"Snail, the target you are chasing has turned west. There is a dense bush over there. The opponent probably wants to use the terrain to break away from contact. You'd better stop them before then."
"The opponent divided into three or four groups and evacuated north. However, they did not choose the optimal route. I have marked the nearest route for you on the map. You should be able to intercept them all in order."
In An Lan's communication channel, rustling voices commanded one after another.
And issued the last instruction.
The young man took off his goggles and stood quietly on the top of the rock, overlooking the entire valley with dark eyes.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the whistling wind remained. No one said a word. Liu Ying frowned and looked at his partner, feeling a little confused.
That decadent guy, and this talented combat craftsman who seems to be looking down on everything.
Which one is the other?
And in the valley.
Xia Sheng couldn't help but look back in the direction of the guy.
She listened to the voice in the channel quietly, and suddenly felt that the other person was not so annoying. Perhaps after her ability and level reached a certain level, she could no longer afford to be jealous.
There was only a hint of envy, but it was not Kaka who was envious, but Liuying. She thought, to be a teammate of someone like him, he should be equally good, right?
There was silence in the channel, no one had ever experienced such a battle.
It felt like entering the command to open the map in an ancient strategy game. It was like the gods were coming, overlooking everything, and the enemy's every move was under control.
There is not much difference in strength between the two sides, but at this moment, the outcome is decided.
No one spoke——
It was because for the first time, people felt such a power. In a battle, combat craftsmen were really as powerful as described in the rumors.
The so-called core on the battlefield is not an exaggeration.
The 'prey' is behind the linden forest not far away.
Xia Sheng looked at the quiet woods - in his field of vision, there was just a pitch black darkness, as if there was nothing.
The opponent was very good. If it weren't for this unfair battle, she felt that she would not hesitate to give a higher evaluation to the opponent.
But at this moment, she just needs to wait quietly for the other party to clumsily throw himself into the trap.
After a while, traces of the target appeared in the field of vision.
There are two young men, a man and a woman. The young man is an iron guard, while the girl is carrying a long bow and is a ranger.
The two of them seemed very vigilant, but their vigilance was more or less meaningless at this moment. Xia Sheng and others held their breath and did not even show their heads.
They just need to wait for an instruction.
"Left front, Iron Guard, twelve meters."
And when Kaka reported a set of data.
Xia Sheng felt the plain-colored painting beside him stand up. The opponent was a marksman, a third-level professional archer.
Although generally speaking, more people will choose the path that favors the ranger. But there is no doubt that Xia Sheng knew that Su Sezhi Hui was a genius and that he had an unusual preference for shooting.
According to the other party, he could hear the path of the arrow flying in the air.
Plain Color Painting is very satisfied with the target instructions Kaka gave him.
From the selection of this target, he understood that the other party's actual combat experience may be richer than they imagined.
Because most people may choose the ranger as the first shooting target, but as a sensitivity profession, the ranger is likely to have talents similar to intuitive dodge.
The Iron Guard was bulky and slow to react. After losing the protection of the Iron Guard, the remaining rangers moved far slower than Nightingale. In fact, it was difficult to protect themselves in a single battle.
For a marksman with weaker mobility, target priority is a very important issue.
He stood sideways behind a hornbeam tree, letting the dense leaves cover his expression. He held his breath and raised his bow. However, he did not shoot immediately, but first raised two fingers.
The first arrow will pierce armor, and the second arrow will mark the opponent's position with a refracted arrow. The brigade has always fought as a unit. Everyone here is an elite, and there is very little personal heroism.
Of course, if possible, Su Se Zhi Hui would shoot a third entangling arrow, but he felt that the chance was slim. He knew very well what the level of the Rain Listeners group was.
Everyone nodded and dialed '1' in the team channel to indicate they were in position.
He slowly opened his bow and aimed at the Iron Guard's neck.
The bow string is endowed with a silent spell by the fairy thread, and the auxiliary pulleys and winches are also of the quietest type, but there is still a slight sound when the bow is opened.
This slight noise appears as a red light in the eyes of the ranger who listens to the rain.
She turned back in that direction.
There must be background noise in the forest, such as the tiny sounds of small animals passing through the bushes, the sound of wind, the chirping of insects and birds. The noise merges into large and small fleeting light spots, and only a few will outline the source of the sound. .
For example, right now, she saw a bat marked with a red outline in the Selector system, flying over her head.
She rubbed her brow, probably because she felt too nervous.
It was at this moment that the plain painting behind the dense forest loosened its bowstring.
At the same moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the air.
In full view of An Lan's team, they saw a golden strange ball flying down from the tree crown, suddenly blocking their sharpshooter and drawing a beautiful arc from left to right.
"What the hell is this!?"
Plain color painting was shocked.
This scene was so sudden that the other party seemed to have anticipated his reaction and arrived just before he took action. Lost in concentration, the arrow flew out of his hand and burrowed into a bush in front of him.
…
