Chapter 128 - A Troubling Enemy
"boom--"
A violent explosion sounded suddenly, and the soaring flames instantly ignited the entire sky, submerging the temporary material warehouse hidden on the outskirts of a certain town in front of it.
Seeing that he succeeded, Captain Eifel immediately got back into the magic armored vehicle, picked up the magic communication box and ordered: "Immediately retreat to the southwest at 8 o'clock. Pete will pass on the route to you later, and follow the route. Boys, everyone Follow me closely! This is in the Kingdom of Sark, if anyone falls behind, no one will wait for you!"
There was a commanding voice in the magic communication box, followed by a burst of laughter.
"I said Captain, we are running so fast, even if someone falls behind, the bastards from the Sac Kingdom will definitely not be able to catch up, don't worry."
Captain Eifel snorted coldly: "When the war horse also sprains its feet, although this magical armored vehicle is good, can you guarantee that it will not break?"
The voice on the other side of the magic communication box was choked, speechless.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense to me. We are fighting now, not acting. If something goes wrong, no one will give you a chance!" Captain Eifel emphasized. "Listen to the damage control in each vehicle. Pay attention to the situation of your magic armored vehicle at all times. You must ensure that no accidents occur. Do you understand?"
"receive!"
"clear!"
"Don't worry, Captain!"
...
This time, what sounded in the magic communication box was the response of the damage control of each magic armored vehicle.
Captain Eifel nodded in satisfaction, turned around and saw Pete gesturing to himself that he was done, and then ordered: "Let's go at full speed!"
Twenty-five magical armored vehicles belonging to the first team of the Third Special Mobile Brigade of the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari quickly gathered together. Form a torrent of steel. Dive quickly into a small lane west of town. In an instant, he walked away.
About ten minutes later, a group of light cavalry wearing the uniform of the Greedy Legion of the Kingdom of Sark came rapidly from the east of the town on billowing smoke.
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky and the mess on the ground in front of him, the leading cavalry captain was shocked.
After receiving the news that the logistics warehouse was raided, he immediately led his Qingqi to rush over. The journey only took less than 20 minutes, which was already super fast.
However, judging from the current situation here, the material warehouse has been caught in a sea of flames. The enemy has disappeared without even a trace.
This made the cavalry captain hardly believe his eyes.
You know, this logistics warehouse is one of the most important warehouses prepared by the Greedy Wolf Legion for this battle against the Lampari Kingdom. In order to protect this place, the Greedy Wolf Legion sent a full A reinforced regiment, a total of two thousand elites are placed here.
However, such an elite regiment with the highest combat effectiveness in the entire Greedy Wolf Legion, a heavily armored reinforced regiment known for its defensive power, was unexpectedly breached in such a short period of time, destroying what they desperately needed to protect. Material warehouse?
how can that be!
The cavalry captain looked around and found that there were almost no living people around the material warehouse except for a large number of corpses of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Greedy Wolf Legion. There was another anger in my heart.
"These bastards! How dare they neglect their duties!"
There are a total of 2,000 people in this reinforced group, and there are many corpses around now. The sum is only a few hundred, so where did the rest go?
The cavalry captain waved his hand, indicating that his deputy led a group of people to search around, while he led a few people to rummage through the corpses.
After finally finding a soldier who seemed to have survived due to a coma, the cavalry captain slapped him on the face unceremoniously and woke him up.
"The devil! The devil is coming!"
Contrary to the expectations of the cavalry captain, the soldier had just woken up from a coma, but he immediately looked frightened and shrank back sharply, as if he had been greatly frightened.
"What devil, open your dog eyes and see clearly!" the cavalry captain shouted angrily.
The soldier shook his body and was stunned, his eyes gradually regained clarity.
"Tell me, what's going on here? Where's the enemy? In which direction are you running?" Seeing that he barely regained his composure, the cavalry captain immediately asked.
Hearing "enemy", the fear on the soldier's face became a little stronger.
"I... I don't know what happened. We... We were guarding well outside, but suddenly..." The soldier pointed to the woods some distance to the south of the material warehouse. "A bunch of steel monsters came out from there. Before we could react, the monsters protruded countless fireballs, and then I was directly blown out by these fireballs..."
Seeing the bewildered look on the soldier's face, the cavalry captain shook his head helplessly.
The poor guy in front of him was obviously frightened, and he couldn't ask him anything.
However, some clues can be drawn from his words. It seems that the enemy is rushing from the south. There is no doubt that it should be a small team sent by the Northern Army of Lampari Kingdom Town to raid the material warehouse.
But there are two problems that he can't figure out at all.
How did the Lampari Kingdom know that the material warehouse is here?
How did this raid team pass through the layers of iron chain-like defenses in the middle of the Murto Mountains, just go deep here and there, and carry out precise strikes on this material warehouse?
However, this question only flashed through the cavalry captain's mind before he shook his head and threw it away.
Now is not the time to think about these issues. The most important thing is that the enemy has already broken in. If they don't quickly catch their whereabouts and intercept them, they will definitely cause more damage to the rear.
From the steel monster mentioned by the soldier just now, the cavalry captain speculated that the Lampari Kingdom might have sent a raid team composed of high mobility using the magic locomotive, so he asked his men to search for traces on the ground carefully. .
A moment later, a well-identified trace leading to the west-south of the town was discovered.
Look in the direction this trace leads. The cavalry captain's expression changed again.
This direction is about ten kilometers away. It is another important material warehouse.
If he guessed correctly. The raid team from the Lampari Kingdom must have gone straight to the material warehouse.
"Follow up! Speed up!" The cavalry captain roared, flew on his horse, and beckoned his men to gallop towards the west after this extremely obvious trace.
About twenty minutes later, the cavalry captain led his light cavalry across a distance of more than ten kilometers.
However, before he came to the material warehouse, he could already see a group of bright flames shooting up to the sky from a distance in front of him, as well as several streams of thick smoke rising straight into the sky.
The captain of the cavalry suddenly sank in his heart.
After speeding up and galloping in the direction of the flames and thick smoke, he found that the fact was not beyond his expectations, this place was originally set up here. The material warehouse, which was also guarded by heavily guarded soldiers, was already engulfed in a sea of flames, almost completely destroyed.
When they had just walked nearby, they ran into another light cavalry that came to support them.
The other party looked at the material warehouse shrouded in flames and thick smoke at the same time, all of them were shocked.
After the two sides met, the cavalry captain described to the opposing captain what he had discovered before. The two sides did not communicate much, and quickly gathered together, following the traces left by the enemy, and pursued in the northeast direction.
However, in the direction they were heading, what awaited them were destroyed material warehouses and a mess everywhere.
Not only did they fail to catch up with the enemy. Even as time goes by, I find that the distance between myself and the enemy seems to be getting farther and farther.
Such a elusive one. The enemy army that they can't even touch their shadows is undoubtedly a serious problem.
Soon, the Greedy Wolf Legion who got the news got feedback, and quickly mobilized the troops left behind to strengthen the defense of each logistics base. The enemy troops who daringly sneaked into the hinterland were wiped out.
However, the facts are even more shocking.
No matter how many people the Greedy Wolf Legion mobilized to pursue and encircle, the infiltrating enemy army seemed to be able to predict the foresight, avoiding the Greedy Legion's army in advance, and escaped from the gap every time before the encirclement circle was about to be formed. .
What's even more exaggerated is that after they escaped from the encirclement, they didn't choose to retreat immediately, but continued to carry out raids back and forth in the rear of the Greedy Wolf Army.
In just one day, this enemy army had destroyed thirteen material warehouses and thirty-seven sentry posts of the Greedy Wolf Legion in various places, which can be said to have disturbed the rear.
The most troublesome thing for the Greedy Wolf Legion is that the previous small-scale battles showed that the Lampari Kingdom's assault squad may not have many people, but its combat effectiveness is extremely amazing. Thousands of greedy wolf army units can also be easily defeated.
Therefore, even if the Greedy Wolf Legion wanted to catch these enemies, they had to dispatch enough forces to deal with them.
At this time, the Greedy Legion on the frontal battlefield was already struggling so much that it was impossible to mobilize enough strength to deal with this squad.
In desperation, the Greedy Wolf Corps had no choice but to abandon the previous strategy of dispersing logistics materials to facilitate timely replenishment in various places, and concentrated all these logistics materials in one of the largest logistics bases.
This largest logistics base is the core of the Greedy Wolf Legion. At least five thousand elites will be deployed to defend it, and many military magic machines developed by the Kingdom of Sark will be deployed as protective forces.
With the manpower of the Lampari Kingdom raid squad, it is absolutely impossible to attack this logistics base, because it is purely suicidal.
The following facts also proved the speculation of the Greedy Wolf Legion.
After gathering these logistics supplies, the mysterious enemy army never appeared again.
However, the Greedy Wolf Legion did not expect that this mysterious enemy army, which caused them a lot of headaches, had quietly left the Kingdom of Sark at this time, and returned to the northern army of the Kingdom of Lampari under the control of the Murto Mountains. within the sphere of influence.
