Chapter 888 Savage Eye

Under normal circumstances, after some tentative actions such as testing the waters, the next step is to show the battle between horses and horses.

But occasionally there are surprises, such as the current situation in the capital. After deciding the outcome in that night's gambling game called "The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows", Wooding simply took Wen Silin back to the mountain, while Tang En, the assassin with evil intentions, settled in the capital with peace of mind. . No one on either side made any next move, as if nothing happened and everything was calm.

This situation is undoubtedly strange, but if you think about it more carefully, it is completely normal.

Because of what happened to the Northern Wilderness tribe, Wooding was no longer firm on the idea of ​​sending people north to capture Josiah alive. Now, Tang En performed a very beautiful assassination right under his nose, successfully proving that he indeed had the ability to threaten King Bran. Wooding had to seriously consider the serious consequences of driving Tang En crazy. Thinking about it this way, the thought of going north has undoubtedly faded away...

The situation on Twain's side was almost the same. In the confrontation with Wooding, he was naturally in a weak position. There is no way, there is no one to blame for lack of strength. Although he played such a beautiful trick under Wooding's nose, it was actually walking a tightrope. Once the two of them faced each other, Tang En would definitely lie down. Fortunately, my hiding skills are good, so I don’t have to worry about being found by the opponent. I can make a thin needle that is not easy to detect, but has a high threat level!

In this way, if Woodin didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Tang En would have to burn incense. Naturally, I don’t dare to push the envelope any further and drive the Sword God crazy...

Weird balance!

Each is worried that the other will go crazy, and both are restraining themselves from going crazy first.

Therefore, we all feel that it is good to live in peace, so let’s leave it like that for now...

However, how can there be absolute balance in the world? As soon as external factors interfere, this weird balance will show its fragile nature. But what is a little unexpected is that it is not the weak Tang En who is forced to attack first, but Wooding who takes the initiative and the always strong Bran Empire...

…

North, the front. A bloody place.

From the moment the Northern Wilderness army officially crossed the border of Bran, blood was shed and people died here almost every second. The thick, scalp-numbing smell of blood in the air never faded even for a moment, even though the extremely cold wind from the north kept blowing.

This was the original situation. For both sides, they have become accustomed to a small fight every three years and a big war every five years. It's nothing more than the barbarians starting a battle, attacking, Bran defending, the two sides stalemate, and finally the barbarians retreating. Then they each go back to recuperate, and then choose an auspicious day to start the war again... The same rhythm has been circulating for hundreds of years, never changing.

Perhaps, even the gods couldn't stand this boring and boring drama, so they secretly changed something. So the situation this year is a little different. From the moment the war started, Bran's army had a particularly difficult time...

Zichen Army Defense Area, a certain former army command post.

"Report! The Great Sword Regiment of the Second Army and the Third Division is surrounded in Tuer Mountain. Reinforcements are urgently awaited!"

"Well? Haven't you already sent the Lancers and the Elite Tomahawk Battalion?"

"Report! The Spear Regiment of the Third Division was attacked by a large group of barbarians five kilometers south of Tu'er Mountain and suffered heavy losses..."

"Report! Ten kilometers west of Tu'er Mountain, the elite Tomahawk Battalion that went to rescue was ambushed by barbarians and is in urgent need of rescue..."

"Your mother! Where is the heavy cavalry brigade of the First Army? Target Tu'er Mountain, kill it for me!"

…

"Report! The first heavy cavalry brigade..."

"What the hell happened again?"

"Report to the general! A heavy cavalry brigade reported that they were entangled by the elite barbarians' wild wolf cavalry shortly after setting off. I am afraid they will not be able to reach the rescue location within the specified time."

"..."

"Report! The Great Sword Regiment of the Second Army and the Third Division is surrounded in Tu'er Mountain. We are waiting for you..."

There was a loud bang, and in the command post, the simple wooden table on which the tactical terrain map was placed shook. There was a creaking sound, as if the next moment a broad hand would be slapped on it and the bed would be shaken.

"Urgently waiting... urgently waiting for rescue..." The energetic voice gradually became fainter, and the reporting scout stood among the officers in the command post with his head lowered and his hands lowered, feeling uneasy.

Chest heaving, breathing heavily. After getting up, General Zichen, who was wearing high-end standard armor, took a few steps back and forth in front of the wooden table. He laughed angrily, "Luring the enemy deep, trapping the lone army, and fighting the reinforcements... Okay! Okay! Okay! It seems that the simple-minded barbarians are really smart, and they are starting to play tactics with me. ...I'm so stupid!"

"General, this is not normal!" He saw that his general was showing signs of going crazy. An officer hurriedly walked out, "Even if the other party is determined to trap the lone army and attack the reinforcements, they won't do it so quickly. They are walking ahead of us every step of the way."

"What do you want to say? Are the barbarians just roundworms in my belly? Or are they all so blind?"

"Uh...I'm afraid it's really caused by that divine eye..."

His body trembled. The general seemed to have thought of something. He was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he waved his hands and said angrily: "Bullshit God's Eye! It's just an alchemy thing played by a child. What a shame that a barbarian still treats it as a treasure. Bah!"

Although he said this with great disdain, the expression of the general who returned to the table still showed an unconcealable envy.

As for the object of envy, it is naturally the divine eyes. Of course, this does not mean that the barbarians really opened the divine eye, but it is a military item called the barbarian divine eye held in the hands of the barbarian officers.

Just a few days ago, when this thing officially appeared in front of Commander Zhongblan, it caused an uproar in an instant.

The structure of this thing is very simple, it is just a bamboo tube and a few round lenses. But just such a seemingly inconspicuous thing has become the nightmare of the officers of Zhongbulan. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Bran is in such a passive situation at the moment is due to this thing.

Because, as long as it is placed in front of the eyes, even a person with poor eyesight can easily see distant situations that are invisible to the naked eye.

They are all people who have spent most of their lives on the battlefield. Such a good thing is undoubtedly the dream of all the Bran officers. As soon as he figured out the purpose of this thing, his eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly understood the huge role this effect could bring on the battlefield.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is almost transformational!

For example, right now, when everything is dark here, the opponent can use this wild divine eye to see all their movements in the distance, and then calmly arrange response strategies to attack the reinforcements, resulting in this step-by-step situation that is like divine help. Take advantage of the current situation...

Immediately, after knowing that any leader in the barbarian army had this thing, Bran immediately became nervous. While collecting information about this thing on a large scale, I quickly searched for the alchemist master to see if I could imitate it in batches...

There is another digression here.

Leaving aside the progress of the latter's imitation, what the former investigated made all the Bran officers feel angry.

This thing is very popular in the Northern Wilderness. It is said that the Great God of the Wilderness couldn't bear the pain of his people being defeated again, so he borrowed the hands of the little princess of the Northern Wilderness Royal Family and an alchemist named Matthewman from the Royal Craftsman's Institute. Invented jointly for the benefit of all people. That’s why it’s named Wild God’s Eye…

To simplify it, this thing was created by the little princess of Beihuang and a man named Matthew Man.

Forget it about the little princess of the Northern Wasteland, but after knowing that Matthewman is actually a Bran, how can the Bran officers not be angry? The general idea is that we are constantly being beaten here. It turns out that you, a traitor, have tricked us. What a disgrace!

Little did they know that the barbarians were also very dissatisfied with this. In their view, it was a matter of course that the little royal princess was favored by the barbarian god. Moreover, the little princess has long been regarded as the pride of all Northern Wilderness people, she has this qualification! But what does it mean to have an old man named Bran among them? It was not until later that a theory gradually spread, saying that this was really the deep intention of the Great God of the Wilderness, which was to use the hands of the Bran people to attack Bran. In addition, it is said that the little princess herself insisted on bringing the old man Bran with her to sign the Savage Eye, and the noise gradually dissipated...

Well, let’s not go into the details for now. Just say that at the moment, General Zichen, who understood the opponent's intentions, made a painful decision before causing greater losses. He called back the heavy cavalry group and instead sent reinforcements to the elite Tomahawk Battalion that was being ambushed. As for the sword regiment surrounded by Tu'er Mountain and the pike regiment rushing to rescue them, they could only choose to give up strategically...

This is war!
