Chapter 1079 The Devil’s Intention

The other three devils reacted immediately. They controlled the terrifying beasts to scatter in all directions, flying left and right in the direction they came from, and disappeared into the sky after a while.

While retreating, one of the devils turned around and thrust his spear into the head of the mount, which had half of its wings broken and was spiraling down.

Although Andrea kept staring at the target, the second upright coin never appeared.

"Actually escaped?" Sa Wei said in surprise, "What are they doing here?"

It seems that this is the first time for the devil to flee without fighting. In the past impression, this extremely ferocious group will never give up without trying to bite the target hard. It's neither an attack nor a reconnaissance, it just keeps circling back and forth in one position, which is really surprising.

"I don't know..." Andrea released the trigger, "And they seem to have figured out how to avoid snipers. It seems that the enemy learns very quickly, don't you think so, little Moriel?" She smiled. He looked at Moriel who was rubbing her ears.

"You should have warned her earlier next time," Moriel complained. The noise of this weapon was no less than that of an artillery piece, and she almost didn't have time to protect her ears. Even so, the thunderous bang still buzzed in her head.

"Sorry, I didn't expect it to appear so soon. Maybe my abilities have improved again." Andrea blinked, "To express my apology, how about I give you a special compensation?"

"You didn't mean it, so it's better not to use it," Moriel scratched her head, "After all, repelling the enemy is more important."

"But that will always make me feel bad."

"Uh..." Looking at the other party's serious eyes, she had no choice but to agree, "Then what's the compensation?"

"Chaos drink." Andrea covered her mouth and said.

"Are you...sure?" Moriel asked in surprise. When she was on Sleeping Island, she only knew that the other party was not only from a prominent family, but also one of the most powerful among fighting witches, and her status could be said to be on par with Ashes. In addition, she had always been by Lady Tilly's side, so her contact with her was not the same. not much. It was after arriving in Neverwinter that the barrier between combat witches and non-combat witches completely disappeared, and she discovered that the other party was not as cold as she thought, but an elegant and kind person.

But she didn’t expect Andrea to be so generous!

"Yes, the general rule is that every game of cards is credited with one cup. My special compensation is that if you lose, you can exempt the cup from me, and if I lose, I will still credit it to you. How about this, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I see, if you can only get in but not get out, it's true... wait, that's not the case!" Moriel realized, "In the end, it's not about playing cards. This kind of lazy behavior, I -"

"But you already agreed, just now." Andrea showed a "too late" expression, "Stay here and don't leave. I'll go to the command post to report the situation. I'll be back soon!"

Before Moriel could open her mouth to defend herself, the other party jumped off the brick pile and disappeared at the end of the yard like flying.

She looked at Maggie, who had a sympathetic look on her face, and finally understood what that sentence meant.

…

Frontline command post.

Within half an hour, all the information about this "unexpected encounter" had been gathered in front of the Iron Ax table.

The first ones to discover traces of the enemy were Lightning and Maisie who were wandering around the perimeter of the warning circle.

At that time, the two of them walked alternately through the clouds in tandem and happened to avoid the enemy's sight. After that, they followed the devil's six o'clock direction and used the listening talisman to issue an early warning to Sylvie.

According to Lightning's description, the devil's flight path formed a distinct straight line on the map - it happened to connect the railway frontline with the Taquila ruins. In other words, the other party was not performing a patrol and security mission, but came towards the First Army from the beginning.

The whole encounter lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and only Miss Andrea achieved victory - the anti-beast sniper rifle was the only weapon that could hit a flying target at this distance. After losing one member, the remaining devils immediately chose to retreat and swayed left and right while fleeing to avoid subsequent attacks. It turned out that this was an effective method, and Andrea failed to get another chance to take action.

Sylvie watched the other party leave the warning circle all the way.

Lightning and Maisie also took no further action.

Fifteen minutes later, the alarm was lifted.

Tie Ax put down the report in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

This is the war intelligence integration system formulated by His Majesty Roland - warring units report their actions step by step, and are finally collected to the General Staff Headquarters, and then sorted and refined by the staff to restore the entire battle process. When used in conjunction with maps and sandboxes, the military command can have the most intuitive understanding of the battle situation on the front line.

Although it had been practiced several times before the expedition, the first practical application of this system still touched Tie Axe's heart - for the first time, he felt that the war was so clear, as if he was standing on the clouds, overlooking it from the air. The whole process of fighting is normal.

In Iron Sand City, even a battle involving hundreds of people between clans could be chaotic. Trying to sort out the successes and failures afterwards was time-consuming and laborious, and most of the time you could only get a rough conclusion. But now, both the enemy's actions and his own reactions were truthfully presented in his mind. This familiar feeling made Tie Ax feel that the battles of the Mojin clan could only be regarded as fights at best.

Of course, it is not enough to understand the overall situation. The next most important task is undoubtedly to understand the devil's intentions.

Iron Ax looked at Edith who was staring at the map - she was also the only one who did not discuss it with other members of the staff.

Iron Ax had no regrets about his previous private contact with the other party and truthfully reported it to His Majesty Roland. His Majesty was the one he swore to be loyal to for the rest of his life. Even if he was sorry for Pearl of the North, he would not have a second choice. It's just that this move ultimately resulted in some debt, and he was prepared to be ridiculed or ignored by the other party. But the result was a bit unexpected. The other party acted as if this had never happened. Even after being punished by His Majesty, he would still be invited to attend some gatherings of the staff department, but he would no longer discuss political affairs alone.

Now that he thinks about it, he really doesn't understand women's thoughts - this has been the case since the Far South.

"Did you find anything?" Tie Ax walked behind her.

"No," Edith shrugged. "I'm not a devil. How can I know their thoughts just by meeting them."

"You didn't discuss it with them. I thought you had a clue."

"Discussions without clues don't make much sense. You can neither confirm it nor falsify it. It can only increase worries."

"In that case, I will treat it as the final conclusion of the General Staff Department and report it to Your Majesty." Tie Ax nodded. If you can't even figure out the Pearl of the North, then that's the end of it.

"You go ahead." Edith paused, "But..."

"But what?"

"I don't think things will end so easily. If the enemy really wants to take advantage of us, he will definitely take action in the near future."

What happened next confirmed Edith's belief.

Just two days later, the devil appeared again in the northeast.

The same four crazy demons.

But this time, they are further away from the front line. If you observe them directly with the naked eye, you can almost only see four faint black spots.
