"Enemy attack!"
A large number of soldiers were killed in their sleep. Finally, someone noticed something strange and screamed.
The alarm spread to ten, and the whole camp was awakened. The soldiers rushed out of the camp with guns in hand. When they looked up, they saw groups of black shadows and immediately opened fire.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!"
The bullet hit the target and came out of the body. The high-speed rotating air flow brought out streaks of black air. The body was instantly crushed and turned into dispersed black mist.
"I thought it was something powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to fight." "Yeah, it's easier to deal with than living corpses." "Everyone was screaming and screaming, which made me nervous to death."
While the soldiers were chatting, a trace of black mist suddenly appeared on the ground behind them, gradually condensing into a human shape. A black and dull knife appeared in the hand, and he slashed through it.
A flash of blood flashed in an instant, and a large gash opened on the soldier's back. Blood spurted out. He staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground.
The other soldiers saw it and quickly shot at the shadow. The black shadow turned into smoke again and disappeared.
"What is this?" The soldiers were frightened and kept looking back and forth, fearing that the thing would appear behind them.
Ghost Warriors, the spirit-controlling troops of Silver Claw National Master Li Zhi, can switch between entities and mist. Although his ability in frontal combat is not strong, he is a first-class expert in sneak attacks and assassinations. There are many people, long control distance, elusive and pervasive, making it extremely difficult to deal with. If Chen Xing hadn't had Nova's around-the-clock, 360-degree surveillance and teleportation, it would have been difficult for him to escape the Ghost Warrior's pursuit.
The night is like ink, followed by dark shadows.
"Watch your back!" "No, it's on the left!" "No, it's on the right!"
There was a dark wind behind his head, and the screams of his companions sounded in his ears from time to time. The soldiers were like frightened birds, trembling and crowded together, not daring to move. Only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying.
Just when morale was about to fall to freezing point, a golden light lit up in the camp.
"Charge in formation!"
Accompanied by a clear female voice, a team of glittering female warriors rushed out of the darkness. They were tall and muscular, wearing armor and carrying swords. They formed a tight phalanx and swept away the dark shadows in the camp.
"Get out of the way!"
In the blink of an eye, another savage bull, with copper skin and iron bones, and infinite strength, rushed out of the camp and scattered a large number of black figures. There was a woman riding on the back of the bull, and the swords danced very fast. The light of the swords was dazzling, and black films flew everywhere.
As if infected by the hearty battle of the Barbarian female warriors, a little starlight rose among the group of golden-armored female warriors, and a rain of petals fell from the sky, scattering under the moonlight, like a dream. Then a beautiful shadow came out of the sea of flowers, the arc-shaped sword flashed past, and the large black shadow suddenly separated up and down.
The two major forces in the army took action at the same time. The morale of the soldiers was shaken and they began to form formations to kill the enemy. There are combat soldiers on the periphery and shooters in the middle, maintaining a tight formation so that the shadows have nowhere to sneak attack.
At the same moment, a colorful halo appeared in the center of the camp, like a lotus blooming, spreading outward in layers.
The halo has seven colors, like a rainbow after rain. Wherever they went, the soldiers felt like a spring breeze, their small wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their bodies were full, as if they had endless strength.
The one that emits colorful light is a seven-color deer. The fur is bright and soft in color, and a ball of seven-color light is suspended between the two large antlers, as if it were something out of a myth.
At the critical moment, the great priest Ye Yang Bailiu took action.
The seven-color light released by the seven-color deer can improve the physical fitness of friendly forces within a certain range, and
Replenish a small amount of life energy. On the battlefield, it can be said to be an extremely powerful auxiliary ability.
"Oh my God, my wounds are actually healing. It's amazing!" "So this is what healing feels like!" "I didn't expect that a soldier like me would have the opportunity to enjoy healing. It's worth dying today!"
The soldiers were surprised and moved. Generally speaking, only the main army of the kingdom has such a configuration.
The lives of low-level soldiers are like straw. It's good to have the opportunity to use a few needles for treatment. Don't even think about healing techniques. They are all for serving high-ranking officials.
But he didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity with the expeditionary force. Invisibly, Chen Xing's prestige rose to a higher level.
The soldiers fought hard, and after half an hour of fighting, the ghost warrior finally retreated.
However, among the three towns attacked by the Ghost Warriors, only Da Da Town had Ye Yang Bai Liu, Xiang Cai Die and Jian Yue Cang Lian in charge. The losses were relatively small, but two to three hundred people died.
After one night, the total number of battle casualties reported from various places totaled seven to eight thousand people, which was more than the number of deaths in a single battle.
Including those killed in artillery coverage, more than 10,000 people have been lost.
The expeditionary force originally numbered 200,000 people, but lost more than 36,000 in the battle with the coalition forces. Adding these more than 10,000, the loss was close to a quarter.
But this was just the prelude to the war. The soldiers had just survived the night and before they had time to have breakfast, two armies of Silver Claw attacked.
Different from the previous battles, the opponent of the expeditionary force this time was the main force of the principality whose quality and equipment were better than theirs in all aspects.
The battle was very difficult from the beginning. The opponent did not adopt the tactics of the Four Nations Allied Forces. Instead, they fought steadily and advanced layer by layer. The expeditionary army only felt the pressure of the mountains and it was difficult to breathe.
Due to the huge disparity in numbers and firepower, the outer defense line was breached in less than half a day and entered the stage of street fighting.
Street fighting is very beneficial to the defenders, and a strong attack will pay a huge price. In order to reduce personnel losses, Silver Claw slowed down its offensive and fought for it alley by alley.
Soldiers hid in buildings, ready to ambush enemy troops.
A day later, although the expeditionary force held the offensive, the damage increased rapidly. And at night, the ghost attendant came to attack again.
For two consecutive days and nights, the expeditionary force did not even have a chance to close their eyes and were tortured to the point of exhaustion.
"What are the leaders thinking? Why don't you retreat!" "If this continues, we will all die here!" "I just want to know, what is the point of us staying here?"
There are complaints from all over the expeditionary force. There is a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and there is no hope. If it were not for the high priest sitting in charge, they would have mutinied long ago. Soldiers may not be afraid of death, but they need to know why they are dying and whether their death is worthwhile.
Anyone with any brains can see the current situation. It is only a matter of time before they fall, and there will be no reinforcements to save them.
Since this is a losing situation, why not retreat as soon as possible?
"Is he awake yet?" "Not yet..."
In the headquarters of Da Da Town, Xiang Caidi asked Jian Yue Cang Lian every half hour, and it almost became a subconscious habit.
Among all the commanders, Viscount Ramon was the first to lose his patience and asked Ye Yang Bailiu to withdraw his troops.
As expected, Vicomte Ramon's request was rejected. He was a little unwilling and asked, "Priest, can you tell me why we have to stay here!"
Ye Yang Bailiu’s reply to him was: “Everything is done as ordered!
"
Viscount Ramon put down the communicator with a dejected expression. All the subordinates looked at him eagerly, their eyes full of expectation, and he sighed helplessly.
"Sir, there is external communication access."
In the silence, a messenger came to report.
"who?"
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Viscount Ramon's expression condensed. What did the eldest princess want to do when she came to him?
He hesitated for several seconds and looked left and right at the subordinates surrounding him, with inquiry in his eyes.
Everyone knows that Chen Xing and Lacey have conflicts. The other party's call at this time had an unclear meaning.
Most of the officers nodded slightly in agreement. Viscount Ramon took a deep breath and said, "Take it!"
"Good afternoon, Vicomte Ramon."
A cold and seductive voice came from the other end of the communicator, and the alluring face and graceful figure could not help but come to mind. Just listening to the sound can make people's blood rush and make them feel uncomfortable.
Viscount Ramon took a deep breath again, calmed down, and responded with a slightly magnetic middle-aged male voice: "Good afternoon, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I heard that you are facing difficulties. Do you need help from your home country?"
"Ah..." Viscount Ramon seemed not to understand what the other party meant and made a slightly hesitant voice.
"The ancestors of the Ramon family once fought bravely and shed blood under the wings of the red dragon." There was a slight pause, "The Maris family has never forgotten this history, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. "
"The position of commander of the Fourth Army of the Second Red Dragon Army is reserved for you at any time."
After the communication ended, Viscount Ramon fell into deep thought.
The reason why he joined the expeditionary force was because the Ramon family was not valued by the Grand Duke and was increasingly marginalized, losing its former glory. So he chose Chen Xing, hoping to change the status quo.
Now, the Red Dragon Princess has extended an olive branch to him, and the glory of the past seems to have returned to the Ramon family. Although the eldest princess has always stated that she is not interested in the throne, her abilities are there, and even if the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, she will not be able to weaken her power. To put it bluntly, with the eldest princess's stunning appearance, it would be easy to marry a king. If you follow her, your future development may not be worse than that of the eldest prince.
Normally, Viscount Ramon would never have had any different intentions. The price of betrayal would be ruined reputation, but now Lacey gave him a step down.
He is a subject of the red dragon, so it is reasonable for him to defect to the eldest princess. Secondly, the eldest princess is also a member of Aaliyah, so there is no factional issue.
However, no matter how high-sounding the reason is, it cannot change the fact of betrayal, and you will definitely carry a heavy burden for the rest of your life.
"Sir, the voice of the high command!"
When the messenger came to report, Viscount Ramon immediately broke into a cold sweat. As soon as they came to instigate rebellion over there, they got a call from here. Could it be that they were exposed?
He carefully answered the voice call.
"Viscount Ramon, I need you to guard for one more day, and we can retreat to Dada Town tomorrow night."
"clear!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Viscount Ramon." He paused and then said, "Chen Xing is a man who values friendship and loyalty, and he will not forget your efforts."
"Okay, okay..."
The communicator's screen gradually dimmed, and Viscount Ramon's face became a little complicated, hesitating, struggling, confused, and finally let out a long breath.
