Chapter 1342 Continuing Trend

"What's the situation now?" Tilly asked.

"The enemies who blocked the convoy were almost wiped out, and the devils who were still in the sky were all fleeing backwards. It should be us who won." Sylvie replied.

"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to show off in the end," Andrea shrugged with regret, "It seems that the Devil Lord was seriously injured last time."

The Seagull did not participate in the battle, but kept hovering in the clouds, guarding against the possible appearance of Hykezord or other high-level devils. After all, the most effective way to deal with these people with strange abilities is still Andrea's close-range sniping.

Unlike her partners who were in low spirits, Sylvie was relieved.

She knew that this counterattack was not the same as the last ambush against the Lord of the Sky. The reason why the enemy never noticed the presence of the Seagull was because she was not on the plane at the time. Changes in the situation on the battlefield are all conveyed through the listening sigil. Even if she has been exposed to the vigilance beholder's sight, the Seagull has disappeared.

But this time, because she needed to fight far away from the camp, she had to follow the Seagull in order to take command of the overall situation. It is for this reason that if the Lord of the Sky appears with a new vigilance beholder, the Seagull will also be discovered by the other party. In other words, only when Hykezord or other high-level devils appear alone can Andrea's attack achieve unexpected results.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to predict how the subsequent battle situation will develop if a single blow is missed.

So it's a good thing that they don't show up.

After all, there's nothing more satisfying than completing a mission successfully and everyone returning safely.

"You'd better not take action. If Hykezord really comes, I don't think the convoy can escape unscathed." Tilly shook her head helplessly, "I guess Edith was probably taking a gamble when she made this plan. The freely moving vigilance beholder is not something that can be replenished immediately after it is lost, so the Lord of the Sky does not dare to appear rashly."

These words almost spoke to Sylvie’s heart.

She couldn't help but nod her head repeatedly, she was worthy of being the eldest princess!

"By the way..." Tilly flew the glider out of the clouds, "Since the victory is determined, let's confirm the results before evacuating."

Sylvie can be considered experienced in this kind of thing - without the obstruction of obstacles, she only needs to use very little magic power to complete a rough inspection of the battlefield.

However, the moment she came to the conclusion, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Two thousand...no, closer to three thousand..."

"Three thousand?" Wendy asked in surprise, "How come there are so many?"

"Those crazy demons -" Sylvie looked towards the hillside and took a deep breath, "They were not coming towards the convoy before, but they were fleeing in all directions!"

It was only then that she noticed the dense holes on the top of the mountain - apparently in order to reduce the consumption of fog, most of the enemies had burrowed into the ground, and they would only be awakened when they needed to fight. But when the fortress monsters collapsed, the red mist with no source of supply quickly dissipated, and these devils faced a disaster.

They swarmed out not to eliminate the attackers, but to detect the dissipation of the mist. Driven by instinct, they got out of their hiding places and ran wildly down the mountain, hoping to reach the next red mist supply point before their breath was cut off.

However, both Xisha City and Shenchi Bay are a little too far away from them.

The world where the red mist disappeared became clean and clear again, but for the devil, it was a dead place where no one could survive. They didn't run far before they fell to the ground one after another, spreading evenly in a circle at the foot of the hillside. Except for a few crazy demons with gas tanks, most of them were silent at this moment.

The staff's judgment on this point is undoubtedly correct - just as Graycastle cannot equip every soldier with the God's Stone of Retaliation, the enemy cannot issue fog canisters and breathing apparatus to every madman. After the fully equipped troops were mobilized to attack human cities, the only ones left here were those troops who were originally operating in the red mist area.

If it had been two nights later, the situation might have been completely different.

Even if they recruited drivers outside the army, they launched a counterattack the day after the First Army withdrew from Shenchi Bay. It must be said that this decision was extremely decisive.

"I think the name Pearl of the North will spread throughout the four kingdoms after this war." Tilly curled her lips.

…

With a team of less than a hundred men, nearly 3,000 enemy troops were annihilated. The losses were only one steam truck and two Skyfires. No one involved in the battle was injured or killed. This successful counterattack boosted the morale of the First Army Command. , everyone even spoke much louder when reporting work.

But Edith did not show any sign of satisfaction. She almost laid out the next battle plan on the day the news of victory reached Congshan.

The plan immediately received the approval of Commander-in-Chief Iron Ax.

The convoy was even on its way back when it received the order to divert to the west pass of Congshan Mountain. A truck carrying pure water for the Rubik's Cube met up with them halfway, replenishing the team's water before joining the team and heading west together.

The Sky Knight returned to Thorn Town, took off again after a brief preparation, and arrived at West Pass Airport before nightfall.

At noon the next day, the convoy that had been running all day and night also entered the Western Territory of Wolf Heart. Since it was more difficult to avoid potholes and other obstacles on the road when driving at night, three more steam trucks were damaged along the way, and the remaining trucks were devoted non-stop to the attack on another fortress-shaped monstrosity.

Although the devils were aware that humans were planning to move the obelisks, what they didn't expect was that in just a day and a half, the counterattack team completed the transfer across the wolf's heart. The other fortress monster had just retreated to the Wind Howl Castle. In the absence of external protection, the convoy resisted the harassment of several patrolling monsters and approached within ten kilometers, lowering four fortress cannons.

The Sky Knights once again acted as "hunters" - with the tacit cooperation of Sylvie and Tilly, this group of newcomers who had only been on the battlefield for less than half a year almost replicated the process of the previous battle, taking advantage of the enemy's flying troops to attack them. When artillery was regarded as the primary target, they swooped down from above the enemy's head and dispersed the opponent's formation in an instant.

The monsters were blown to pieces amidst the roar of artillery fire. Facing the convoy guarded by the God's Punishment Witch, a small number of crazy demons had no ability to hold them back even if they got close.

On the third day, the enemy finally began to expand the defense circle of the four cities and sent people to destroy the simply paved hardened roads between the cities. However, the entire front was hundreds of kilometers long, and it was almost impossible to make it watertight. matter. That day, the steam truck drove through an area dozens of kilometers outside Xisha City, attracting the devil's attention to itself. The twenty-five Skyfires bypassed the towering Impasse Mountains as planned and went directly to the rear of Jinshiling, attacking the transport red The fog's supply lines were strafed.

At this moment, the impact of two consecutive defeats in air battles and the long front line on the devils gradually became apparent. By the time they gathered enough terrifying beasts and rushed to the scene, the Sky Knights had already disappeared into the howling sky of the cold wind. .
