Chapter 1423 Testing

"Watch out! They're coming again!"

Following Yuwan's loud warning, intensive gunfire suddenly erupted from the temporary defense line composed of less than a hundred people.

Under the intense firepower, those flexible small monsters had to slow down and crawl slowly amidst the splashing gravel and smoke.

The two 75mm field guns are waiting for this moment.

When fired horizontally within a thousand meters, its accuracy is astonishingly high and its power is far stronger than anti-devil grenades. It can be called the nemesis of these "stubborn stone monsters".

Soon, the small monster crawling at the front was hit by a cannonball, half of its body exploded, and one leg even fell a hundred meters away.

After losing several monsters, the remaining devils retreated and disappeared into the red mist again.

But everyone knows that this is just a brief lull, and they will come back at any time - from all directions.

This scene not only happened in the northern part of Dawn, from Kento Mountain in Wolf Heart to Cold Wind Ridge in Graycastle, there were many similar battles going on at the same time at every moment. The only difference was the scale.

Therefore, the First Army also adopted corresponding countermeasures. Large groups of enemies were dealt with by large groups of troops, while small groups of intruders were handed over to a small number of people. The team led by Yuwan was exactly such a blocking team that filled in the gaps. They rely on the city to intercept the devils who try to cross the cordon and ensure that humans gain a foothold in the red fog zone.

Even though Yuwan was just a small officer, he knew that his mission was closely related to the overall strategy - according to calculations from above, within a few months, the red mist spreading from Hermes would be enough to cover Glow City. Therefore, fighting in the red mist is the future trend. They must adapt to the battlefield lacking witch support in advance and maintain the normal operation of the Kingdom of Dawn.

It has to be said that such a battle is very passive. After all, no one knows from which direction or how they will enter the warning circle. It is impossible to establish a fixed defense line extending along the northern borders of the four kingdoms. Both manpower and logistics are far from enough, so the above plan is somewhat helpless.

Fortunately, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are becoming more and more sophisticated. Even if there are only a few dozen people, they can unleash considerable firepower in a short period of time. For example, his team has three or four general-purpose machine guns, ten horses, and two field cannons. As long as they don't encounter high-level devils, they can basically escape intact.

In the final analysis, this near-stalemate situation was caused by the First Army's helplessness on the floating land. Precisely because even if they invade the Hermes Plateau, they cannot destroy the mobile fortress, so everyone can only focus on defense.

At present, the only one who can actively threaten the devil is the team of sky knights led by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"If I had known earlier, I would have signed up for the Sky Knight Academy." Someone said casually.

"Come on, the requirements over there are extremely high. Do you think they all want us to be able to pass in a simple trial?"

"Actually, it's pretty good to join the First Army. My cousin wants to join but he can't."

"But there is Your Highness Tilly over there..."

This statement caused a moment of silence.

Even Yu Wan couldn't help but picture Lord Iron Ax and His Highness Tilly in his mind.

The result of such comparison is self-evident...

"Shut up!" He expelled the inexplicable "losing" thoughts from his mind and scolded angrily, "Sky Knights can indeed compete with devils, but we are the only ones who can protect the people! Enemies. Maybe we’ll come back later, and pay attention to the sentinel’s signal!”

"Yes..." Probably realizing that the two were incomparable, everyone changed the topic.

"Captain," Hansen came over with a gun in hand and said, "My men just reported that there is a steep slope to the west with a good view. It can monitor the enemy's movements and it will not be easy for the enemy to climb to the top of the slope. As long as a machine gun is mounted, It will suppress those stone crawlers."

Finally, there are still reliable people in the team.

Yu Wan looked in the direction he pointed and made a quick judgment, "I will take five people up, and I will leave the frontal defense to you. I think you should know when to retreat and when to fight."

"You want to go in person?"

"This is our first time coming to this place. I can only feel reassured when I see it myself."

The flanks are often more important than the front, not to mention that he knows the character of the vice-captain very well. Hansen, who has good marksmanship, is calm and cautious enough to control the defense line.

"I understand." Hansen accepted the order with a military salute.

Yuwan nodded, quickly picked out five soldiers, including the investigator, and climbed all the way to the top of the hillside.

This raised area looks somewhat like the shadow of the north slope. It rises gently at one end and then stops abruptly, forming a section with a height difference of twenty to thirty meters. There are dense trees on the top of the slope, which is very suitable for hiding your whereabouts.

The only drawback is that the fog is also very dense, and the red mist that has settled here is difficult to flow, making the sightline in the woods poor. Although it does not affect their outward observation, being surrounded by wet red mist is not a good experience.

"Light a fire to disperse the fog, and check the surrounding area at the same time," Yu Wan found a suitable shooting position and put down the machine gun.

This place is really good. The protruding top of the slope is simply a natural suppression point, especially for the almost undefended beasts behind it. Before the enemy launched a new attack, he planned to mark the point on the map, maybe it would be needed in the future.

However, long after his teammates dispersed, Yuwan didn't hear the expected crackling sound of burning.

what happened? It won't take that long to collect a handful of firewood, right?

He frowned and shouted twice, but the forest was quiet, without even a trace of echo.

Fishball instantly became alert.

Something's wrong...

Even if there are enemies, teammates will not be unable to fire a single shot.

What's more, neither Hansen's men nor the six of them found any trace of the enemy along the way. This sudden silence was a bit too strange.

At this moment, he suddenly heard an extremely slight "squeaking" sound coming from the right, as if something was stepping lightly on the grass.

Yuwan turned around suddenly and raised the machine gun at the same time——

He saw a dark shadow flashing in front of him, and the cold light even made his cheeks feel a sting.

"Click."

With a sudden light in his hand, the machine gun was split into two and fell to the ground.

An extremely tall "woman" appeared in front of him. Her skin was blue, her feet were bare, and she was wearing extremely thin single clothes. There was nothing metal except the long-handled sword in her hand. I'm afraid this is why it can The reason for being silent while traveling.

It's over.

This was the only thought that flashed through Yu Wan's head.

The human form is a characteristic of high-level devils. According to the brochure above, the more human-like a devil is, the stronger it is. Apart from height and skin color, there is almost no difference in the facial features of the opponent, so its abilities can be imagined.

Surprisingly, when he was about to die, he didn't feel scared. The only thing on his mind was how to let his teammates know that a high-level devil had sneaked into this area.

However, the sword did not hit him.

The other party took out a piece of paper from his arms and threw it in front of him.

"Take it back and hand it into the hands of the three witches."

The tone is weird and the words are not fluent, but it is indeed human language.

"I don't know who the three witches you are talking about..." Yuwan quietly touched the pistol at his waist, "And I will never do it for the enemy-"

"Send it, and your companion will not die." The devil's words suddenly stopped his hand, "Three Seats are the commanders. If you take them back, someone will know about it."

Then, a purple magic door appeared behind it.

It slowly backed into the door and soon disappeared without a trace along with the door.
