In the afternoon, the intensity of the war on the battlefield gradually decreased. Now it is not the time for the real decisive battle, and both sides are deliberately controlling it.
Before we knew it, it was almost dusk. After a whole day of fierce fighting, this inaccessible wilderness was filled with a strong sense of blood.
Bursts of dull drumbeats came from the rear of the Jade Empire, which was a signal to withdraw troops. Almost at the same time, a low horn sounded from the Abyss Demon side.
Unanimously, both sides chose to withdraw their troops.
This battle was the most intense in the past few days, except for the first few battles.
On the side of the main army, the Jade Empire's magic-patterned warriors were ultimately superior. With their own strength and advanced magic-patterned equipment, they completely suppressed the Abyssal Snake Demon Legion.
Although the war lasted for a long time, the overall casualties of the main army were only within a thousand.
Both sides suffered injuries to each other. In the end, the magic pattern construct warriors failed to retain the abyssal snake demon army, and it could only be regarded as a small victory.
As soon as the main army retreated, the lord armies and ordinary abyss demon teams on both sides quickly retreated like the tide.
In the jungle, Chu Xin also noticed the message of retreat, and could clearly feel that the density of abyssal demons on the battlefield had dropped significantly.
As night approached, the golden villain's stealth detection advantage would soon be gone. Chu Xin did not want to take too big a risk, so he led the team back.
After a day of fighting, although most of them were bullies, it would be false to say that they were not tired. It would take a night to restore everyone's energy.
There was no unusual news from Watchtower No. 44 today. When Chu Xin took a break on the battlefield, he would take a look at the situation at the watchtower. Generally speaking, it was relatively stable.
He wasn't too worried about what would happen to the watchtower. After all, he still had personnel in the watchtower. If there was any irresistible accident, he could just pass on the information in time. At most, he would only sacrifice a few troops.
As soon as they returned to the watchtower, they saw Harlow and others craning their necks and looking around.
After seeing the return of Chu Xin and others, the eyes of the watchtower guards were brightened. After several incidents such as killing spiders and breaking out night attacks, they have formed a kind of dependence.
Chu Xin's presence here is a shot in the arm to stabilize their military morale, and they can sleep soundly at night.
It's just that this master is not at ease. Others want to be as far away from the battlefield as possible, but it's better for him to take the initiative to get closer.
From Harlow's point of view, this was an act that was like committing suicide. A group of two- and three-star novices were throwing food on the battlefield.
It was getting later and later, and he thought that Chu Xin would probably never come back, but unexpectedly, he finally came back. Judging from the blood-stained figures of all the personnel, they really went to the battlefield to fight for their lives.
"Is there anything going on?" Chu Xin asked casually. There was nothing unusual in the watchtower under the watchtower. He just wanted to see if there was any missing information.
"It's calm, I hope there are more days like this, the better." Harlow sighed with a relaxed expression.
Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that a strong shadow of death had been hanging over his heart in the past few days. It was not until Chu Xin arrived that Harlow felt much more relaxed.
Chu Xin nodded. Several groups of abyss demons were injured at Watchtower No. 44. They were not fools, and they even delivered takeaways here.
If a demon really attacks next time, the team's strength will definitely be greatly strengthened. At that time, Watchtower No. 44 will not be able to withstand the force.
"Come a few people and take care of these prey. Let's have dinner tonight!" Chu Xin pointed to the ghost wolf at the end of the team and said to Harlow.
Harold heard the words and looked around, his breathing stagnated, and his saliva secreted involuntarily.
All ghost wolves carry more or less various exotic beasts on their backs, including small exotic beasts such as chickens and rabbits, as well as larger ones such as deer and pigs and badgers.
For a moment, Harold seemed to have smelled the aroma of meat. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Brothers, come here and help!"
Harlow called a few watchtower sentries over to help. They were not very good at killing chickens and rabbits, or beating people to death, but they were still able to do the cooking and logistics, and they were very willing to do so.
Since you want to hug the opponent's thigh, you still have to show your role to some extent.
Several sentry guards at the watchtower swallowed in disappointment. They had not eaten meat for a long time in this wilderness. The supplies at the watchtower were just some simple grains, and meat was basically not available.
In the Jade Empire, carnivorous animals are not widely raised on a large scale, and military rations are still mainly based on various field grains. Only elite troops can receive such treatment.
"You don't have to keep them, you can catch them after you finish eating. There is not much else in this jungle, and there is never a shortage of food." Chu Xin ordered. These prey were all caught by the ghost wolf when he came back.
Ignoring Harold's side, Chu Xin returned to her room. As soon as she touched the bed board, her whole body felt soft.
"Comfortable!"
After muttering something, Chu Xin began to check today's harvest.
After a day, the war points reached over 70,000, which was already what he expected.
Chu Xin was already quite satisfied with this result. The Abyss Demon Slaves on the edge of the battlefield were killing fewer and fewer, so it was quite good to be able to score so many points.
It's not that he didn't try to get closer to the central battlefield, but he only got closer for a short distance, and the danger level increased exponentially. He accidentally encountered several sudden pursuits, but fortunately he managed it properly and got rid of them all smoothly. .
In fact, if there are enough abyss demons in the periphery, his war points may exceed 100,000 at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, this is only an ideal state. The Abyss Demon is not a fool. They queue up to brush him. There are too many situations to consider when choosing a target, which also consumes a lot of time.
This is also worth it. It is precisely because of this caution that we did not encounter major dangers on the battlefield.
The meritorious service finally exceeded 10,000 units. The low-star Abyss Demon Slave gave very few meritorious service. If the number was not astonishing, it might not be possible to break through 10,000 meritorious service today.
In addition, there were all kinds of abyss demon materials, such as horns, scales, eyes, etc. Chu Xin didn't know what the use was, so he threw them all into the warehouse.
Only once did a war treasure chest reveal a useful special item called Devil's Breath, which could assimilate the area around oneself into the breath of an abyssal devil, which should be of some help in camouflage and lurking work.
The progress of Killing One Hundred Demons has reached 48/100. If you are lucky, you can achieve it tomorrow, but the 1% damage bonus is not very useful.
Three battlefield rescues were completed, and there were still two social masters. Except for the terrible Lord No. 1235, the other Lord saved later still showed his friendship.
He was just a bit stingy. He didn't express any words except verbal thanks. He was far less generous than Braden.
This time Chu Xin also unlocked a new achievement, the Demon Slave Buster, which appears after killing 100 Abyss Demon Slaves. It requires continuing to kill 10,000 Abyss Demon Slaves, which can be completed.
After completion, a troop nest of the Abyss Demon Slave will be rewarded, but Chu Xin was not very interested.
Although this thing has good combat effectiveness, it is not easy to command and control. It is not very useful on the battlefield. Moreover, it requires specific abyss-type food to recruit, so it is difficult to maintain.
In comparison, Chu Xin still prefers simple units such as skeletons and ghost wolves, or earthworms that are not picky eaters.
After today, there were losses. There were too many surprises on the battlefield, and it was impossible for everything to go as smoothly as Chu Xin expected.
Three ghost wolves were killed, and five iron skeletons were killed, but what is quite interesting is that one of them made a breakthrough on the spot and evolved to three-star strength.
The Han army lost seven soldiers. As for the long-range soldiers, there was not much loss.
There are very few orthodox long-range powers on the abyss demon side. Except for legal creatures such as abyss demon warlocks, only the snake demon clan has a small number of snake demon shooters. Chu Xin basically did not encounter long-range abyss demons on the battlefield.
But it has to be said that compared to humans, the physical quality of these abyss demons, even low-level abyss demon slaves, is a level higher than that of the human race.
This is an innate racial advantage, but what is more prominent on the human side is the endless methods that have caused these abyss demons to suffer a lot.
After checking today's harvest, Chu Xin was quite satisfied. If he continued like this for a day or two, his war points should easily exceed the one hundred thousand mark.
On the watchtower side, after a day, the two refuge rooms below have been almost tidied up. The entire room has been laid with wooden boards and simply reinforced with wooden pillars. After hanging white fluorite on the four corners, the environment can still be pleasant. accept.
The only problem is that the underground space is a bit cold, which is a disadvantage.
As for the underground passage, the project has been temporarily stalled due to the absence of Iron Scale, and currently only one escape passage to the rear is open.
"This period of time has been tough on you!" Chu Xin sighed as she touched Tie Lin who was taking a nap next to her.
Chu Xin's movement was very slight, but it still woke up Tie Lin. It looked at Chu Xin with sleepy eyes, somewhat puzzled.
With a slight smile, Chu Xin handed it a large piece of Black Star Magic Iron as a reward.
Speaking of which, Iron Scale's appetite has become much more sophisticated recently. Some ordinary scrap copper and iron are basically despised, unless they are made of metal with a certain level like Black Star Demonic Iron.
Lying on the bed and letting her thoughts empty, Chu Xin gradually calmed down.
After being tempered by the Battle of Changshe, he was very adaptable to the battlefield, and he quickly suppressed the chaos caused by the continuous fighting.
After calming down and preparing to get up to meditate, Chu Xin's expression changed. He received a warning from the ghost wolf, and a team was coming towards the watchtower.
Opening the map, the opponent has entered the range of the watchtower. It is a human team, wearing formal army uniforms. They should be soldiers of the Emerald Empire.
They were traveling very fast, and it only took a few minutes from the time they were spotted at the watchtower to arriving at Watchtower No. 44.
"Scout?" Chu Xin looked at the other party's vague, inconspicuous clothing, and an idea came to his mind.
What's going on? Is Watchtower 44 so attractive? Whether it's the Abyss Demon or the Jade Empire, everyone likes to come here to play no matter what.
Watchtower No. 44 seems to be particularly busy. Logically speaking, such a remote watchtower would not be visited so frequently even during the war.
"What's wrong?" Harold, who was busy in the kitchen, asked someone with some confusion.
Chu Xin pointed at the darkness outside the watchtower with his chin. Harlow squinted his eyes for a while, and then he saw a group of people walking out of the darkness.
"This is the empire's reconnaissance team. I just don't know what the purpose of coming here is. I'm going to have a look." Harold whispered and went up to them with a smile.
"Are you the person in charge here? When someone approaches, you don't react at all. Are you not wary at all?" As soon as he came over, the other party started asking questions.
The reconnaissance force is a regular army and is one level higher than the motley crew stationed at the watchtower, so there is a certain arrogance in their words.
The other party's voice was very loud, and Chu Xin, who was lagging behind, heard his words clearly. He stopped Harold who was bending to please, and asked coldly: "Who are you? This is a major military area, please show me your Identity credentials.”
Following his words, the troops behind him were in full formation, and an invisible aura came over them. After today's fighting on the battlefield, his team also had an invisible aura of murderous intent.
The man who was about to continue scolding paused, and his momentum suddenly weakened a bit. He said, "We are a frontline reconnaissance force. This is the certificate."
Although he was a little angry, what Chu Xin did was not wrong and followed normal procedures. The leader had no choice but to take out his identity certificate and wait for Chu Xin to check.
The identity is of course true. In fact, this can be seen very clearly, but Chu Xin just can't stand the other party's posture and intends to frustrate the other party.
As a lord who responded to the call, he had no worries about offending the other party.
"Dinner is ready." Someone suddenly shouted from behind, breaking the somewhat dull atmosphere.
Chu Xin looked up at the other party and asked politely: "Have you guys eaten? Do you want to eat some together?"
"No need!" I don't know if he was angry at Chu Xin's words just now, or because he was arrogant as a regular force, but the leader of the investigation team directly rejected Chu Xin's invitation.
You don’t even know what kind of food there is in a place like Ganglou. You can even guess what kind of rotten food it is.
If you have a bad stomach, you can't afford to have something happen to you on the battlefield.
The captain of the investigation team thought so.
At this moment, Ding Xiu walked out holding a huge roast chicken. Seeing a group of people gathering here, he seemed a little curious.
A strong aroma came, and several people in the investigation team looked at Ding Xiu, whose mouth was full of oil, and there was a sudden sound of swallowing.
You can't blame them for not being able to control themselves. During these days on the battlefield, they had no chance to eat meat at all. They basically ate military rations and swallowed them hard with water.
This day is so comfortable!
