Chapter 1124 Short Story
On September 19, the rain hit the mountain forest and it was muddy. Ruhr led his army to resist the enemy's attack on the eastern part of the defensive line in the Vulcan Mountains. Most of the entire western and central area of the defensive line had been occupied by Saint Vicoia, which accounted for more than three-fifths of the total defense line. If the entire Vulcan Mountains are occupied, the Demon Moon will always be at a geographical disadvantage against Saint Vicoia in the future, so the remaining area must not be lost. It is related to the country's gateway. Even if the entire army is killed in battle, they cannot retreat. step.
At this time, although Ruhr had lost consecutive battles before, Fried only had a slight advantage over Mo Yue. The two sides fought in a stalemate on the Vulkan Mountains, and the victory or defeat depended on whose skills and tactics were better. For excellence.
Saint Vicoia’s troops have been redeployed after these days of fighting. Zefried personally led the troops, leading the Magic Knight Artimite, the Magic Armor Knight Almeida, etc. The people were within the defense line and attacked fiercely from west to east. This was also the main attack direction of the army. On the other hand, Vidmila led the troops, led the Minotaur Orc Legion, the Purple Star War General Grayfa, and the Centaur General Eiffel Legion, and assisted the attack from the south of the Demon Moon Defense Zone upwards, forming a two-sided attack situation.
As for the Demon Moon, in order to deal with the enemy's attack tactics, Ruhr could only mobilize most of his troops to defend facing the west, because the attacking enemies within the defense line were the greatest threat. And he understood that the Vidmila Army to the south of the defense line was mainly to contain his own forces, so he left the Dragon Soul Warrior General Muto and the Dragon Flame General Juda to respond.
At this time, due to the hasty retreat, White Rock City and Sand Rock City were successively captured by the enemy. Juda's army is currently retreating to a new stronghold, the Red Mud Valley, and corresponds with Mu Tuo, forming a coordinated defense area between the two armies. On the contrary, Vidmila's army seven kilometers away also relied on the two cities of Shayan and Baishi to launch an offensive against Mutuo and Juda.
The war has been stalemate here for several days. Juda relied on the geographical location and defensive line advantages to firmly defend the Red Mud Valley. The enemy failed several attacks and also changed its tactics, looking for new fighters and combat plans. , but attacks on camps by both sides happened occasionally.
It is said to be a valley, but in fact the camp where Juda is located is on the top of the mountain and on the mountainside, and it is not one, but several camps that look out for each other. The Red Mud Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. If the Saint Picea army in the south wants to attack, there are only two ways. One is to take a detour and bypass the mountains on both sides. The army has enough reaction time and is more likely to be counterattacked and followed.
The other way is to march directly from the Red Mud Valley, but Judah has already established forts on both sides of the mountains. Attacking the valley by force is tantamount to luring the tiger into the cage, which is very detrimental to Vidmila's army, so For a while, the two sides will be at a stalemate here.
However, Vidmilla is not very anxious about the attack. He has always been a very calm person. He knows that his primary purpose here is to contain Ruhr's army to relieve Fried. The pressure from the Marshal's attack. Although Ruhr only sent two armies to guard the south, the south was very worried, so he had to divide his troops to provide backup for the west and south. In this way, Vidmila not only restrained Demon Moon's nearly 100,000 troops, but also attracted Ruel's attention on the battlefield, stabbing a needle into Ruel's back like a thorn in his back.
The four fortresses of Jodah's military camp guarded the mountaintops and hillsides on both sides, and the other fortress guarded the central mountain in the north, with a total of 27,000 men guarding it. Judah's army suffered heavy losses in previous battles. After retreating north, the armies were reorganized. Part of Striker Ilif's army who died in the battle was temporarily incorporated into his command and became the coalition army, which resulted in the current 20,000 troops. Seven thousand troops.
In the military camp, the soldiers were changing their posts. In the sky, the monsters that were not affected by the heavy rain carried the soldiers back and forth for reconnaissance. Wayne took a dry rag to grease the halberd sword to prevent it from rusting. The tiger sword and armor next to it were all polished until they were shiny.
"Hey Wayne." The passing soldier greeted him: "Is the injury feeling better?"
"Well, much better, thank you." Wayne smiled at him, He continued to clean the knife under the awning.
Not long after, Luo came with a pile of food: "Wein, the food is here, prepare to light a fire. The heavy rain is still good. Even if the supplies are not enough, the mountains are full of monsters avoiding the flood. There’s enough animals for us to eat. Hey, where’s Irina?”
"I went to do something urgent." Wayne put down the knife, took some of the food and looked at it: "Hey Luo, why didn't you even pluck the hair out of the grass chicken you caught?"
Luo smiled and said: " Hair plucking should be left to careful women. I don’t know if it’s because of too many fights recently or what. I lost control of my strength, and I even tore off the skin of the chicken when I plucked it. I even caught a few armadillos, which was enough for dinner and supper.”
“Aradillos are delicious, first of all. Eat this." Wayne picked up an armadillo impatiently, chopped off its head with a knife, and was about to peel off its scales.
"Hey, hey, hey, peel the shells and go over there, there are still people to treat here. Don't make the entrails all over the floor."
Irina came back soon, and the three of them I set up a pot and lit a fire, put in condiments, wild vegetables and rice, and cooked a big pot of meat porridge.
"Ah, it smells so good." Wayne couldn't help but take a spoonful and taste it: "Well, Irina, can you eat it? I think it's cooked."
Irina picked it up I was washing the vegetables and still had the neck protector wrapped around my neck, but it didn’t hurt that much anymore: "Eat your size. It will take an hour to cook before it tastes delicious. Besides, Bimoye, the captain and everyone are not here."
"We can eat first, there is so much and we can't finish it." Wayne He curled his lips and could only look at the porridge in the pot.
Not long after, several other mercenaries who lived together came back, and they chatted under the awning.
One person said: "Don't wait for Bimoye. He doesn't know when he will come. He may have dinner with the officers. Let's eat first."
"Yeah, that's fine." Thain filled a bowl of porridge himself and said, "By the way, Wayne and Luo, last time you talked about your fighting experience in Yanyang City, and you talked about going to the Forest of Warcraft in the future, right? Really?"
Wayne nodded: "Am I still lying to you? Going on an adventure in the Warcraft Forest is the big goal of our Bloody Mercenary Group, and we have already prepared for it. It’s been two years. If we get back safely this time, it’s probably time to take action.”
“Hey, Wayne, is it enough to go to the Warcraft Forest with your strength? A forbidden place, a dangerous place.”
“Tsk, you’re not looking down on me. Have you seen how I’ve ever flinched on the battlefield?” Wayne said unhappily. The man said: "This is different. The battlefield is a face-to-face contest with the enemy, and what is needed is courage. But to venture into uninhabited areas, not only courage is enough, but also knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to respond when encountering danger. Three years ago, my mercenary group teamed up with two other mercenary groups to complete a mission. , that time we were directly entrusted by our employer to go to a snowy mountain to find a lava cave. But when we arrived at the snowy mountain, we found that there were dangers everywhere, and there were many caves on the cliffs. Soon, we were lost there, and our teammates were there one after another. He died in danger, and our three mercenary groups started arguing again. We expressed our intention to give up. However, the other two teams decided to continue searching because the reward offered to us by the employer was too attractive. Later, we parted ways, and the two mercenary groups continued to complete the mission, while we chose to leave after returning to the town. The two mercenary groups were still worried and waited in the town for a long time. It was not until more than a month later that they waited for him. They came out of the mountain, and there were only two of them left. After asking, they found out that they had found the lava cave, but not long after they went deep, they encountered a large amount of lava spewing, and almost everyone died except for them. A group of people responsible for guarding supplies outside the cave survived. ”
Wayne frowned and said: "What do you want to say when you tell this story?"
Irina said: "Stupid, he means to do what you can do within your ability, and don't do what you can't do. "
Wayne said unhappily: "Huh, he just looks down on me."
The mercenary sighed: "This is my personal experience. , is also my advice, it’s up to you whether to listen to it or not. Even if the World of Warcraft Forest is the most familiar among the ten forbidden areas, it is not a place where you can easily take risks. Even the elites of the A-level mercenary group are not in such a place. , but also do what you can.”
Irina smiled and said: “Thank you for your advice, we will remember it.”
"But we have to go to the Warcraft Forest, we must go." Wayne said firmly: "If that is the only place where I can find a way to save Cornelia, then no one can stop me!"
After eating, everyone went about their business. Bimoye came back and said, "Well, have you all finished eating?"
"Yes, have you eaten?" Irina asked.
Bimoye said: "Forget it, I won't eat. Luo, is your injury healed?"
Luo Dao: "The trauma medicine you found for us is very useful. , it’s nothing serious anymore, these prey were all brought by me. What’s the matter?”
Bimoye said: "The enemy's attack has slowed down a bit in the past two days. I want to take advantage of this free time to go nearby and check out the terrain."
"Look..." Wayne burped, patted his chest and said: " Isn’t there a topographic map?”
“It’s better to see it with your own eyes, Luo,” Bimoye asked.
Luo Dao: "Of course, how can such an event be without me."
"There is still me, I will go too." Wayne raised his hand.
Bimoye looked at him and said, "Can you go like this?"
"Nonsense!" Wayne stood up with his support on the tiger body: "I have been injured for so many days, and I am almost going to shit. . If I don’t do anything anymore, I might as well switch to cleaning other people’s armor in the camp.”
Irina chuckled.
"Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny about this?" Wayne said.
Irina said: "Who is laughing at you? I found that Bimoye is very different from before. In the past, he always did everything by himself, but now he still comes to us, and even Ask Luo if he wants to go.”
Wayne chuckled and said: "This means that I have better relationships with others."
"Hmph!" Bimoye snorted softly: "I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain over there." After saying that, he turned around and left. .
Irina giggled and said: "Look, he is still shy."
