Chapter 1102 Devil’s Blade (Part 1)

"Based on the available intelligence, the general staff's conclusion is roughly this -" Edith knocked on the table and said, "This arson is most likely a plan to attack the east and the west."

"Sign up in the east and attack in the west?" Iron Ax pondered, "Are you saying that the enemy's goal is not to cut off our army's supply line?"

"The devils would like to, but they can't do it." Edith pointed to the map, "From the ruins of Taquila to the north of the forest terminus, the distance is longer than the railway on the plains, more than five hundred kilometers. They How much red mist do you need to carry to reach the arson area on foot and ambush them? I think Taquila's colleagues should be very clear about this."

"If we don't establish a "blood line" and don't have outposts, the army won't be able to support such a long front. Taquila representative Phyllis paused, "According to past experience, five hundred people is almost the devil's limit." "

"The Forest Terminal Station is a permanent station with complete fortifications. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a small fortress." Edith continued, "Your Majesty has made relevant plans a long time ago. Once the enemy sets fire to the forest, Miss Ye Zi will A sufficiently safe isolation zone will be created to isolate the fire from the site. This isolation zone is also a natural shooting range. There is no shelter or cover. The devil wants to rush through the fire net composed of several bunkers. Five hundred There is no difference between being a man and dying."

"Taking a step back, assuming they really have a way to send their army into the Hidden Forest without supplies, then arson would expose themselves." Dawn Dawn added, "It might be more effective to launch a direct attack late at night. One thing - after all, the forest itself is a kind of cover, and it is easy for them to hide their actions before entering the territory controlled by Master Ye."

"It makes sense..." Iron Ax nodded, "But neither Sylvie nor Lightning nor Maisie found any trace of the devil on the front line - if they plan to attack Tower No. 1 site again, I'm afraid they will start taking action now. It's too late."

"This is also a mystery that we have not solved yet. Perhaps the enemy has thought of a new way to deceive detection, or invested in new weapons that we have never seen before." Edith replied frankly, "It's just a plan to attack the east and attack the west. It doesn’t have to be one east and one west.”

"You mean... Tower Zero Site?"

"Our current investigation focus is all on the front where the railway is laid, so we cannot rule out this possibility."

"But the farther away you are from the front line, the more troops the devil can invest." Iron Ax thought thoughtfully.

"That's exactly the truth." Edith affirmed.

"I understand," the commander-in-chief gave the order after a moment of silence. "After Her Royal Highness the Queen returns safely, let Heihe No. 1 go to Tower Zero Site, while No. 2 patrols between Site Zero and Site One. The rest of the troops remain stationary. , raise the level of alert until the alarm is cancelled. In addition, even if the devil is unlikely to attack from the north of the forest, it is better to put out the fire as soon as possible." He turned to look at Agatha, "Can I ask you to do this? ?”

"Don't worry, we will do our best." The ice witch responded.

"Very good. The frontline reconnaissance remains unchanged, and the main surveillance direction is still the Taqila front line. Miss Sylvie——"

"Leave it to me." Sylvie nodded.

Iron Ax clapped his hands, "Judging from the current speed of the fire, it will probably burn to the edge of the forest terminal in the evening. If the devil doesn't know that Miss Ye Zi can isolate the sea of ​​​​fire by herself, then when the sun completely sets, it should be The moment they show their fangs. Now we still have about an hour, so let’s take action!”

…

Standing at the top of the camp watchtower, Sylvie felt the breeze blowing over her cheeks bring a slight chill.

The setting sun was sinking into the earth little by little, and the gorgeous afterglow illuminated half of the sky. The vast grassland seems to be dyed with three completely different colors. The farthest one is golden, shining with the sun; the closer one is red with green, and with the sky as a backdrop, it looks like a sea of ​​purple flowers. The grass underfoot has been covered in shadows, leaning towards blue-black, which is also the exclusive color of night.

Such beautiful scenery can probably only be seen in this endless "wild land".

However, it is also a countdown to war.

Every time the sun sets a little lower, it means that the enemy is one step closer to them.

Against this background, no matter how touching the natural scenery is, some of its beauty has faded, and it has become cold and desolate.

Sylvie turned her head and looked to the southwest - even though the Hidden Forest was not within the observation range of the Magic Eye, she still took the time to take a look. She couldn't explain the reason, but she just felt a little worried.

In retrospect, whether it was the judgment given by the staff or the order issued by Iron Ax, there was nothing to be picky about. It was not to say that it was watertight, but at least it was calm and prudent. A devil lacking red mist supplies is like a nailed thread. The longer it is stretched, the weaker its strength becomes. If they were really heading towards the forest terminus and tower zero site, the garrisoned troops would be enough to hold on until reinforcements arrived. There is no doubt that the front line of the railway is still where the enemy can devote the most force to attack.

But why...this worry just can't go away?

Sylvie shook her head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart. When she was about to scan the front line again, a group of light spots suddenly appeared in the corner of her eyes.

Light?

how come--?

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked towards the bright light - it was bright red, like a dazzling flame, and after leaping into her field of vision, it was quickly moving towards the south end.

Strange, is it because I am dazzled?

The magic eye shouldn't be able to see that far away.

That's right, you really can't see it - the large black area in your field of vision proves this. Once it goes beyond the range, the magic eye will lose its ability to observe without blind spots and shrink to an ordinary perspective. In low-light and no-light environments, it is difficult to distinguish the junction between the earth and the forest, and it is basically pitch black. It is precisely because of this that the light spot is particularly eye-catching.

Since it was not an illusion, then what exactly was she seeing——

Sylvie suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and running up her back, making her shiver uncontrollably.

She knew what she was worried about.

That's something everyone ignores.

What she saw was magic!

And it’s an extremely huge magic power——

The observation range of the magic eye is limited because it is limited by itself and cannot spread its magic power further. But when there is a powerful magic source, such fluctuations will react on the magic eye, and thus be "seen" by oneself, just like the sunlight that forcibly penetrates the closed eyelids and reflects on the pupil!

Being able to be directly sensed at this distance, the magic power of the visitor... has reached such an astonishing level!

The cursed demon.

This was the only name left in Sylvie's heart.

A humanoid alien from the ruins of Taquila, the commander of the demon army. As a general, he has always been the core of the army. When the two armies clash, the general is like a chess player, winning or losing based on the outcome of the chess game. He rarely leaves the field shirtless.

But they ignored that the opponent was also a powerful high-level devil with terrifying combat power.

At this moment, the moving speed of the red dot is still increasing, almost three times that of the Maisie Horror Beast in flight.

The other party has been targeting Ye Zi from the very beginning!

"Run...run..." Sylvie couldn't help shouting, "Run, Ye Zi!"
