Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-Four Retreat
bsp;Bao Zhengcheng had a stern look on his face, and directly injected a shot of stimulant into his thigh, then lifted up the storm and started charging. Even if this spider demon was two levels higher than him, Bao Zhengcheng believed that the 'Storm' in his hand would make it suffer severely.
The spider demon let out an earth-shattering roar, moved its eight long legs, and rushed toward Bao Zhengcheng like the wind!
At this moment, a thunderous gunshot suddenly sounded over the battlefield! The unique and clear sound, the soldiers have been familiar with it for a long time in these days, it is an eagle strike, and the entire 131st company only has one eagle strike!
The spider demon's huge body suddenly tilted slowly, a large cloud of blood mist appeared on his upper body, and one left arm and half of his shoulder disappeared! It screamed in pain, completely lost its balance, turned over and fell off the city wall.
Of course Bao Zhengcheng would not miss this opportunity and rushed to the edge of the guard wall. The 'Storm' began to roar and poured more than fifty force bombs into the spider demon in one go, beating it full of holes. .
The spider demon could no longer get up, but its sharp arthropods were still paddling desperately, digging up all the stones and soil within reach. Debris flew everywhere, and even a big hole was dug out of the root of the wall. Its vitality was terrifyingly tenacious.
Qianye appeared next to Bao Zhengcheng at some unknown time, pressed the 'Storm' in his hand, then took out a force grenade, tossed it lightly, and threw it at the spider demon.
"Damn it!" Bao Zhengcheng only had time to curse before jumping off the wall with Qianye and throwing himself to the ground. Qianye's force power is particularly strong, and the power of grenades charged by him will be increased by 30%.
There was an earth-shattering explosion behind him, and the entire guard wall fell like collapsed blocks, revealing a spider demon the size of a small house. This powerful creature finally stopped making any movement.
The sixth-level spider demon is the leader of the stronghold. If you kill it, the rest will be much simpler. An hour later, this dark race stronghold composed of werewolves and spider demons was basically eliminated. The 131st Company only spent ten minutes cleaning the battlefield, and after obtaining proof of their record and the most valuable trophies, they hurriedly left as a team.
In conducting guerrilla-style mobile warfare in the dark race-controlled areas, raiding is not the most difficult part. As long as there is accurate enough intelligence and a well-organized combat team, the probability of success is quite high. The key lies in how to avoid the patrols before the war, so as not to fail the surprise attack and turn into a strong attack, or even worse, be surrounded in turn. The other thing is how to retreat smoothly after the war.
The destruction of the entire stronghold will definitely completely anger the dark race commanders in this area. The team will face powerful pursuit forces, as well as encirclement and suppression by dark race forces who have received news from the surrounding areas along the way. As long as they can escape back to the human-controlled area in time, this operation will be a complete success.
So the 131st Company was not willing to fight at all and fully implemented the hit-and-run tactical thinking. Anyway, they are here to gain a record, not to make money. Qiqi's arms are worth tens of thousands of gold coins. She will not take the trophies of a stronghold lightly.
There is a mountainous area not far to the south of the stronghold. Qianye led his troops to rush for two hours, and finally ran into the mountainous area, and then ordered a one-hour rest. He himself continued to go out for reconnaissance to find out whether there was any danger on the planned withdrawal route.
If they successfully ran into the mountains without any obstacles, their return journey would be half successful. Qianye can be said to be an expert in utilizing complex terrain.
At this moment, he was half-hunched up, using the cover of various terrains to move like a ghost. But the further he went, the more solemn his expression became, and an indescribable feeling of danger became stronger and stronger.
Qianye suddenly stopped, raised his head to the sky, and sniffed hard.
In the night wind, there was a faint fishy smell.
The hair on Qianye’s body stood up, this was the unique smell of spider demons! He suddenly accelerated and rushed to the top of the mountain, then leaned down and leaned out bit by bit to prevent his shadow from being suddenly projected, and then carefully looked towards the other side of the mountain.
In the valley, an army of dark races is advancing silently. This army is led by several humanoid spider demons, and the main force is hundreds of giant sword spiders. This army was like a black tide, almost blending into the night, surging forward along the valley.
Qianye suddenly took a breath of air! The sword spider is an official warrior among the spider demons. This two-meter-tall giant spider moves like the wind, and its two forelimbs are as sharp as swords. It has the strength of a first-level human warrior. The combat power of this unit is enough to swallow up the 131st Company.
Qianye had doubts in his heart. Could there be another war happening in the surrounding area? Otherwise, how could there be such a spider demon army marching secretly? This scale is much larger than an ordinary patrol.
But this is not what needs to be considered at the moment. What is important is that if this team of spider demons continues to move forward, their scouts will discover the 131st Company that is still resting!
Qianye retreated quietly, then hurried back at full speed. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he immediately issued an order: "Everyone should end their rest and set off immediately!"
Bao Zhengcheng stood up and asked, "Don't you clean up the traces?"
Qianye said: "It's too late! Whoever can't keep up will use stimulants themselves!"
Three minutes later, the 131st Company formed a long queue, speeding through the night under the leadership of Qianye. Two mountains away was the spider demon army. Rushing to the position that Qianye had been eyeing for a long time, the whole team gathered together and lurked quietly, waiting for the two sides to pass by each other. Then the whole team hurriedly ran away at full speed.
Bao Zhengcheng ran to Qianye and asked in surprise: "Why did there suddenly appear an extra team of Spider Demon Sword Spiders?"
"It may be an oversight in intelligence, or the other party may have made temporary arrangements. This is normal. You continue to lead the team, and I will go to the front to take a look!"
After saying that, Qianye climbed up a mountain ridge beside him and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye. Bao Zhengcheng's face was stern, and his intuition developed from years of fighting made him feel that something was wrong. Fortunately, Qianye was more familiar with mountain warfare than the most experienced scout in the team, and he had better physical strength. He could support such a high-intensity night reconnaissance, otherwise he would have collided head-on with the spider demon team.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Qianye coming out of the night again, shouting: "Everyone, turn left!"
The whole team made a big turn, jumped over the low hill, and ran along the valley on the other side. Bao Zhengcheng finally found an opportunity and asked: "What's ahead?"
Qianye’s face could not be seen clearly under the cover of night, and only a gentle voice drifted into his ears on the wind, "Werewolves, werewolves from four tribes."
Bao Zhengcheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly. The werewolf was the king of the mountain. In a place like this, he was targeted by the werewolf tribe with superior strength. The entire 131st company, including their two fourth-level soldiers, was probably alone. No one can escape.
Qianye led the team over a mountain ridge again, and then rushed along the valley. At this time, one after another soldiers have exhausted their physical strength, and the combat-level non-commissioned officers will take one with them, gritting their teeth and running wildly with the troops.
Two hours later, the edge of the mountainous area was already in sight, but after several sharp turns along the way, it was far from the intended exit.
"What should I do?" Bao Zhengcheng could almost confirm that something was wrong. In this area, in just half the night, they had already encountered two spider demons and two werewolf teams!
Qianye pointed to the distance and said: "There is a fulcrum of our border defense line in that direction. If we go over at full speed, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Bao Zhengcheng took a long breath and said, "I know that place, but if we want to escape, we have to abandon the wounded and those who can't run."
He finally used the word "escape". Although the 131st Company had managed to avoid all encounters by relying on Qianye, they had no time to erase the traces of their march. The dark race's combat power in that area is so dense that the possibility of not being discovered is very slim. I am afraid that there is already a team chasing after them.
"I'll give the order!" Qianye walked towards the resting team.
At this time, Bao Zhengcheng stretched out his big hand, stopped Qianye, and said in a deep voice: "No! I will give this order!"
Bao Zhengcheng walked up to the soldiers, glanced at the exhausted faces, and said slowly: "We still have to march forty kilometers to get back to the nearest stronghold. Now, who wants to stay? After the break?"
The soldiers were silent for a moment, and no one spoke. They were all experienced veterans, and they had already discovered that the situation was not good during the previous forced march. Then all the wounded walked out on their own, and then those soldiers who had exhausted their strength also came out one after another and stood together with the wounded.
The corners of Bao Zhengcheng's mouth twitched, and his eyes turned red as he looked at these dozens of soldiers. He turned around suddenly and shouted: "Leave all the grenades for these brothers! Let's go!"
After saying that, he never looked back, and took the lead in running away. A soldier who could still run took a deep look at his comrades and followed Bao Zhengcheng away.
Qianye did not move. He looked at the remaining soldiers and said, "I will finish this journey with you!"
Commandos with long-range snipers have completely different combat capabilities.
A moment later, there was a continuous roar in the mountainous area, and smoke rose and filled the entire canyon. The strong light emitted when the Force grenade exploded almost lit up the dark night sky!
In the wilderness, the soldiers of the 131st Company were running wildly. They didn't need to look to know that behind every explosion, there would be a comrade holding a Force grenade and rushing toward the enemy.
Bao Zhengcheng finally led the soldiers of the 131st Company to this small town called Tu Castle. There are only fifty-four people left who can follow him here, less than half of what he set out to do.
Most of the casualties came from the final battle.
The town has a population of about a thousand, and there are 500 expeditionary troops stationed there. Because it is close to the front line, the earthen castle defenses are well built. Most of the buildings in the town are made of heavy stones, and there are dense alleys, most of which are very narrow. This is prepared for street fighting. Most of the giant spiders of the Spider Demon Clan cannot squeeze into these alleys that are only two meters wide. After transformation, the high-level werewolves will also feel constrained.
Bao Zhengcheng climbed to the watchtower and looked toward the mountainous area in the distance, his heart sinking to the bottom. It is extremely unusual for so many dark race troops to move at night. But according to the latest information obtained, this area is clearly an empty area!
Looking back now, the last two dark race teams encountered were marching only twenty minutes apart. This was almost a sign that the opponent's army group was mobilizing. Does the Xichang City War Zone Military Headquarters know about this situation?
A shadow gradually enveloped the heart of this middle-aged soldier.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that a figure appeared on the horizon, heading towards the earthen castle.
