Chapter 1258 It went wrong
This was undoubtedly a peaceful night. Neither party took any action and rested peacefully, adding a bit of tranquility to the entire night.
On a new day, the coalition forces headed by Da Zhou woke up before dawn as usual, and the cooking team began to prepare breakfast.
Although Li Ce has been strategizing so far, allowing them to take the lead throughout the whole process, but even so, they still cannot be careless. They still have to seize the moment and continue to retreat, trying to establish a safe distance from the opponent as much as possible, so as to Reduce the probability of accidents.
During this period, as the coalition forces wake up, the air force will naturally be fully operational.
Relying on the aerial vision, they searched for traces of the green-skinned troops as quickly as possible. After locking the target, a blasting bomb directly forcibly woke up the green-skinned troops who were still sleeping.
"WAAAAGH!!!"
At that moment, all the greenskins were furious and rushed out with roars.
Compared with earlier, after a night's rest, it could be seen from the battle that their mental state was much better.
According to the fatigue accumulated in the past, let the greenskins sleep until they wake up naturally. This time, they may not be able to open their eyes until noon.
Of course, the air force's initiative to provide the 'wake-up service' at this time was not out of good intentions, but simply did not want the greenskins to continue to rest.
This night's rest greatly relieved the fatigue accumulated by the green skins. Now, after being forcibly awakened by the air force, the green skin general simply stopped sleeping, ate some dry food, and directly ordered the pursuit to begin. .
Among them, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry undoubtedly took the lead.
In the final analysis, their waves mainly have to rely on the wolf nose of the Goblin wolf cavalry to track the target.
Following the scent, the green-skinned pursuit finally started smoothly.
In this regard, the air force could not allow them to proceed too smoothly, and directly listed the Goblin Wolf Cavalry as their bombing target.
However, compared with ordinary green skins, Goblin Wolf Cavalry is still too flexible after all.
The first few times, they immediately dispersed the formation as soon as they were spotted. Later, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry simply maintained the evacuation formation the whole time and advanced. Coupled with their agility, they were basically able to bring explosive bombs to them. The impact and threats are minimized.
As for the green-skinned army, they are not that good at hiding, but they can resist. They are all rough-skinned and thick-flesh.
Not to mention, after such a night's rest, during the day, the presence of the air force really could not play any more role besides slightly affecting their propulsion efficiency.
This made the green-skinned general's terrible mood in the past two days significantly improve. Invisibly, he felt a little more pleasing to the eye when he looked at the Bloody Hand King.
However, this smoothness did not last forever. The Goblin Wolf Cavalry who led the way and followed soon encountered a new situation.
"Report to the general, the smell in front has branched off and divided into three roads, leading to three different directions."
Obviously, Li Ce also made other preparations to reduce the efficiency of green skin tracking.
After listening to the report, the green-skinned general cursed.
"WAAAAGH! Just playing some boring tricks! Inform the main force to rest where they are, and ask the wolf cavalry to separate into three teams and follow the three routes for confirmation!" The green-skin general who had rested had regained some sanity. , and now also make corresponding judgments quickly.
Seizing the opportunity for the large green-skinned troops to rest on the spot, the air force directly increased the frequency of bombings and greeted them frequently.
As for the three Goblin Wolf Cavalry teams that were operating separately, they didn't pay much attention to them.
Those three routes are not boring misleading. In fact, every route is true, but two of them lead to the supply points of their air forces. The smell along the way is left by the troops who brought supplies to them. .
After all, their air force needs to conduct continuous surveillance of the green-skinned troops and carry out frequent harassment operations.
Based on this premise, if every time they complete a mission, they have to fly back to the main army to rest and replenish equipment, then if the frequency is high, they will consume a lot of extra stamina.
Considering this, the best way is actually to set up a temporary camp independently for them to serve as their supply point.
Of course, as the greenskin troops began to advance, the temporary camps of their air troops also moved further into the distance.
At this moment, if the Goblin Wolf Cavalry followed the scent and looked for it, they would at most find an open space with basically nothing left. Moreover, this stretch of road was not short and could delay them a lot of time.
This is indeed the case. When two of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry teams followed the scent and tracked to an open space with nothing left, and then found that the scent was gone, they turned back as fast as possible. Report, it's already past noon.
This is still under the condition that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry's movement efficiency is pretty good.
Now that two routes have been eliminated, the remaining one is naturally the correct way.
After this pursuit, they pursued until it was almost dark, only to find that the road ahead had branched off again.
At this time, the Bloody Hand King's brows were completely knitted together.
After struggling for a few seconds, the Bloody Hand King spoke in a deep voice...
"There's no need to chase anymore. If you can't catch up, it's a failure."
Hearing this, the green-skinned general was furious at first, but then he couldn't help but sigh, and punched the big tree next to him. The towering tree broke into two pieces on the spot and fell to the ground.
He is not stupid. The opponent's methods are one after another. In the process of harassing them and slowing down their advancement efficiency, they continue to distance themselves from them.
If this situation continues, they will be passive throughout the whole process, and the distance between the two sides will only widen, and there will be no possibility of catching up.
If this thing is done like this, death will not be possible, but it is estimated that it will not be easy.
At the same time, on the border of the Saint Laurent Empire, as members of the former coalition forces, they naturally recognized the Pegasus knights of the female warrior clan.
After learning from the Pegasus knights that the greenskins had sent a large force to intercept and kill the reinforcements, Marshal Adolf made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the army to attack, switching from defense to offense!
"Since the greenskins have sent troops to intercept and kill the reinforcements, they will definitely send out enough Vajra-level combat forces to ensure that nothing goes wrong. This may be a good opportunity to severely damage the green-skin royal family! Pass my order and let the Vajra-level combat forces enter. It’s time to launch a counterattack!”
