Chapter 731: Tide of Soldiers

The afternoon sun is lazy, but for some reason, it turns vicious when it reaches the Chiyan Heights. The surface temperature of the highland itself is higher than that of any other area in the Twilight Continent. Coupled with the catalysis of those large and small hot springs and the three volcanoes at the end of the highland, the temperature of the ground at noon is so high that the scenery is distorted . This is not a small burden for the Catu who wear thick plate steel armor and prefer heavy weapons. The heat rising from the ground exhausted their physical energy when marching in the highlands, so that when the team that had just finished sweeping the area returned to the temporary camp, almost all the soldiers sat down on their butts in a relatively shady place, stretching out their tongues and wheezing. Gasp.

There are one or two hundred people in this temporary camp. In the past 4 hours, camps like this have sprung up on the Red Flame Heights like mushrooms after rain. They are the countless nodes for the Catus to attack the Red Flame Heights, and the forces of these camps are forming a tight network.

This is very different from the Cato people's previous swarming offensive method. The tight offensive network has an even distribution of firepower. There are no outstanding strengths, but there are no obvious shortcomings. More importantly, such a distribution method made it impossible to guess where the Catus' heavy troops were deployed, so they could not use surprise troops to attack, resulting in a passive defensive posture for the Federation.

But for Adele, the camp in front of her is her goal, and the two hundred enemy soldiers there are equivalent to a piece of military merit. Adele was wearing a dark brown tactical suit, covered with flexible light ⊕ armor. The armor is painted in patches of varying shades, allowing her to almost blend in with the ubiquitous red rock of the Highlands. She observes the high ground with a small tactical telescope and marks targets for strikes through the intelligent system on the telescope.

"Attack." She put down the binoculars and whispered into the headset.

When there was a sharp whistling sound, above Adele's head, four black spots appeared in the sunny sky, behind each black spot dragged a tumbling flame. They pierced the sky, tilted and fell quickly into the makeshift camp, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. Several fireballs rose up between the camps, and the shock wave of the explosion caused the red rocks around the camp to collapse outwards centered on the explosion point like sand.

Even though it was one kilometer away from the camp, the blowing wind was not only full of hot sand, but even the wind itself was full of fiery breath. The wind almost blew away the camouflage hat on Adele's head. The girl pressed the hat tightly, and waited for the aftermath of the explosion in the camp to subside before ordering the ambushing soldiers to charge. She herself was also carrying a sniper rifle with a light gray shell, darting like a cat among the rocks and mountains, and approaching the camp.

Under the attack of several concussion missiles, a ring of earth and rocks appeared on the ground of the camp, and none of the nearby rocks was intact. The corpses in the explosion center were even more bloody and bloody, and the thick plate steel armor on those corpses was seriously twisted, and they could not play a protective role at all under the impact of the shock wave after the missile exploded. The camp was full of corpses, but there were still a dozen lucky people who were on the verge of explosion and survived.

One of them was probably the captain of the team, this Catu with one arm blown off was extremely brave,

One-handed axe. He cut down the soldiers who rushed into the camp one after another, and in the blink of an eye, three people fell forever beside him. He roared and roared, and suddenly a wound the size of a bowl exploded on his chest. The thick armor protecting him was useless, and the flesh and blood inside spurted out several meters away like a spring of blood. The Cato man was stunned, looking for who did it, a faint silver light pointed directly at his forehead, followed by his eyes The above parts suddenly exploded. The broken flesh and bones flew backwards like a flag, clearly marking the direction of the impact.

Losing half of his head, no matter how brave the Cato warrior was, he could only collapse. Without this expert as a support, the remaining Cato fighters ran around like headless chickens, being bombarded and harvested by the human fighters who kept attacking the camp.

The battle is intense and short. From the bombardment of the concussion missile to the fall of the last Cato soldier, it took only ten minutes. The camp smelled of burnt creatures. While the soldiers were cleaning the camp, Adele entered the camp carrying a sniper rifle. The muzzle of the gun was still warm, and she was the one who knocked down the enemy captain just now.

"Miss, it has been confirmed that all enemy soldiers have been wiped out." A moment later, a soldier reported the result.

Adele nodded, and in the distance, the sound of gunfire came one after another. Even the wind was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Starting from the raid of the chaotic race in the morning, the war on the Red Flame Heights broke out in an all-round way. The coalition forces of the Catus and Grei giants flooded the entire highland like a flood. In the early days of the battle, the human side who were caught off guard was beaten back steadily. It was not until they retreated to the middle of Chiyan Heights that they barely stood their ground.

After that, it was a severe test for the major defense areas. Whether it was the federal military or the private armies of various families, facing an enemy force ten times larger than their own, no one would feel numb. What's more terrible is that the current strength of the fortress is scattered, and only two-thirds of the remaining defenders are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Especially the family armies of Beth Keld and Goret, they already allocated half of their troops to leave the high ground to sweep up the enemy strongholds and bases in the controlled area.

As soon as the remaining troops come into contact with the invading enemy, defeat will immediately appear. It's okay for Beth Kede, after all, he is a famous family with a profound background. Even if you lose the enemy, you have to choose to retreat into the deep area of ​​the defense zone, but retreat without chaos. Also evacuating, the Golet family seemed extremely hasty. Even a lot of materials from the frontline positions had no time to take them away, so they fled to the rear in a hurry.

Among the several major defense zones in Chiyan Heights, the Golet family's army can be regarded as the one that lost the fastest and lost the most defense zones.

Originally, the military strength of the Mossen family was only comparable to that of the Goret family. Even slightly inferior, the Mossen family made their fortunes in business, and this family has never lacked a strong force to sit in command, otherwise it would not have considered absorbing the Golet family's army through marriage at that time. Due to old Kate's insistence, the marriage between Adele and Toure's son fell through in the end, and the Mossen family spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of mercenaries to form an army to go out. Among all the family armies on Paradise Planet, the Mosen family's army ranks almost at the bottom.

But in today's chaotic race's attack, the Mossen family was unexpectedly tough. So far, they have only fallen into a quarter of the enemy's defense zone. The reason for this has a lot to do with the fact that the Mosen family did not participate in the task of sweeping the control area. It can be said that the Mosen family, which has preserved its complete strength, has become the most powerful family army on the Red Flame Heights today.

The commander of the army, Zeke, is the head of the largest mercenary group "Eagle Wing" hired by the Mossen family, and he is also a retired federal colonel. His military talents are very outstanding. This time, facing the violent attack of a large number of enemies, Zeke changed his strategy of sticking to it. He deliberately exposed several gaps in the defense line, so that the enemy soldiers thought they had an opportunity. However, those enemy troops who went deep into the defense zone did not expect that instead of winning the victory, they were divided and encircled by the ambushes arranged by Zeke.

This is like digging a few diversion channels on the embankment to allow the raging flood to flow. The momentum of the flood is still fierce, but it will not submerge the flood embankment all at once. Under Zeke's exquisite command, the pressure from the enemy soldiers was always controlled within a tolerable range.

Even Adele had to be thankful that she really recruited a good commander this time.

"Miss, it's time to go back." At this moment, a soldier reminded.

Adele nodded. Since she started the battle this morning, she has taken down two such temporary camps, killing nearly a hundred enemy soldiers along the way. Now the ammunition of the team, the physical strength of the soldiers, including her own mental state, etc. have reached a critical point, and she really has to go back to the rear to rest. After gesturing, Adele walked back with the sniper rifle on her back, and when she stepped on a high rock, she looked back.

Where is that person now? She thought, but didn't stop, and returned to the family camp with her nearly half-reduced team.

The family camp has not yet been affected by the flames of war, and this highland was chosen by the Mosen family. On the left is the defense zone of the federal military, and on the right is the area under Bethkind's charge. As long as these two areas have not fallen, the Mosen family will not be in too much crisis. Adele returned to her residence, took a shower, changed her clothes, brought enough ammunition again, and came to the command hall with a sniper rifle on her back.

The hall was busy, and the floor was covered with messy cables and wires. Several high-power intelligent brain terminals were connected by technicians to form a central processing unit that can quickly process more than 10,000 data. With its assistance, Zeke can control every slightest change in the defense zone battlefield at any time, so as to make adjustments and even re-formulate the countermeasures.

Adele came directly to the retired colonel's side. Zeke, who was already a middle-aged man, had a rare jet-black hair color, but his curls had already turned white. His face is erect and firm, giving people the feeling that he will never compromise. In him, you can see the toughness of a soldier. With him, everyone in the hall felt at ease.

"Mr. Zeke, how's the situation?" Adele asked.

Zeke turned his head, and he admired the daughter of the Motson family, who seemed weak but was braver than most men on the battlefield. Wen Yan smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, the main pressure of the enemy is not on our side. Coupled with our decompression strategy, unless the enemy suddenly increases its troops, it will not be a problem to defend for a day and a half."

"Look, the enemy's forces are mainly placed in the defense zone controlled by the Federal Army, and here..." Zeke pointed to an electronic map on the screen.

It was a stone forest area, and there were words on it that clearly marked the words of the Golet family. Zeke said: "I don't know why, the enemy army invested a lot of troops in the Golet family, which made the savage hunters of the Golet family unable to withstand the pressure. If the Golet family has no way to recover, their defenses will be completely exposed in less than an hour."
