Chapter 794 Impact Front (Monthly Ticket 2200 Plus Updates)
The sky in Mordor is always overcast. Fortunately, the orcs and Z-worms have the ability to see at night, so they can see even in pitch-black environments. Sauron shrouded the orcs in darkness, so that everyone had long confused the sense of day and night, so the timing of the attack became no longer important. The jumping dogs were assembled, emerged from the tunnel, and began to move forward.
According to the instructions of the boss, the orcs have already reduced their defense lines and no longer harass the Blackfoot settlement in Tverdo. After all their looting, they had little interest in the land itself. Most of the orcs and goblins have gone back long ago, leaving only a few people standing guard on the temporary watchtower. This group became the first orcs to be attacked.
First there was a buzzing sound in the sky, which sounded a lot like flies. That is actually the sound made by a small number of jumping dogs with complete flight capabilities, trying to flap their wings to increase altitude. Then, they entered a gliding state, and the sound immediately decreased and was basically inaudible.
"How long are we going to stay here?" An orc untied the straps of his leather armor and threw this light piece of protection aside. A small leather bag rolled out from the armpit of the armor, and the orc was overjoyed and quickly picked it up.
"An unexpected bonus, there is actually food that I haven't found yet!"
Inside the leather bag was a piece of Legion bread, which was still edible even though it had been tainted with the body odor of the orcs for a long time. No mold can grow on Legion Bread, and legend has it that Legion Bread can even swell a little if left alone. However, the sentry orc did not have such far-reaching considerations. Before others noticed, he swallowed the food in a few mouthfuls, which relieved his empty stomach.
"When will we have food?" Another orc leaned on the watchtower, but his eyes were not on the outside, but on the fingers of his companion. Just a moment ago, there was food there, but now only the aroma is left. "I heard that the Blackfoot settlement has stopped the supply of legion bread. You will definitely not be able to buy it, so you have to grab it! But the boss of Beast Tooth doesn't know what's going on, and he hasn't issued the order for a long time. If this continues, we will have to starving!"
"All those who starve to death are fools." Another orc said: "I heard that goblins are delicious. Hit them on the back of their necks with a stick, or crush them directly to death so that they will not be wasted! It's just that goblins have more bones. , less meat, far less delicious than sheep.”
"The bones are chewy and can keep you hungry for a long time. However, elves have many bones but they are not very tasty, far worse than humans. But only the fatter humans can compare with the taste of dwarves. I ate it once... "
Before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Turning around and looking outside, I saw a group of dark clouds flying across the sky, then rapidly lowering its altitude. "What is that thing? It looks like a bat, but is a bat that big?"
The orc, who was continuing to try to reproduce his good luck in the leather armor, did not even raise his head and asked without warning: "Big bat? It would be great if there really was that. You can have a good meal."
"No, it's an enemy attack!" As soon as the orc finished speaking, Jumping Dog folded its wings and launched an impact in a nearly vertical dive. It tightened its six limbs close to its body, and the bony wings on its back fit perfectly into the carapace. The entire insect was like a streamlined cannonball, with only its pincer-like mouth in front. This method is not very accurate, but as long as it hits once...
The wooden watchtower was hit head-on by a springtail. The impact caused by the carapace, which was harder than steel, and the weight of a Kenma, directly shattered the tower, and then slowly tipped sideways. The jumping dog's pincer jaws bit through an orc, splitting his body into two pieces and flying out left and right. The blood mist filled the sky and filled the entire sentry tower, and all the orcs' faces and bodies were covered in mud.
The tower began to tilt, and the jumping dog rolled on the ground. Its six strong and thin feet gripped the ground tightly, so it grasped the balance faster than the orcs. The simpler nervous system allows the jumping dog to ignore the pain of the impact, wave the bone spurs and start attacking.
The sentry tower hit the ground and shattered with a loud bang. Wood and gravel flew around, and waving long knives and bone spurs could be faintly seen in the smoke. Among the blood splashing, there was some from orcs and some from jumping dogs. It was impossible to tell one from the other. In the end, the orc cut off one of Jumpdog's bone spurs at the joint, but another one pierced his heart.
The third orc crawled out of the ruins of the guard tower, sweat and blood washing several gullies on his dusty forehead. He wiped his eyes hard and started looking for his weapon on the ground. But the jumping dog had already pounced, and he had no chance.
The accuracy of Leap Dog air strikes is very poor and basically depends on luck. However, those jumping dogs that find themselves missing their target will immediately spread their wings and slow down, and will not stupidly collide with the ground at all. But even so, the huge impact will still break the legs or smash the shell, which will greatly affect the subsequent combat effectiveness. Gardener Long therefore summed up his experience: Only carry out such operations when the situation requires it.
Soon, a large group of pure ground jumping dogs caught up, crossed the line of sentry towers, and continued to advance. The flying jumping dogs regroup. They had expended a lot of energy for the flight and needed to replenish their food. Not long after, the huge bodies of the moving bugs caught up with them, and there were three things on their backs: soil balls, legion bread and more jumping dogs.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see the entire attack wave. The jumping dog keeps advancing, forming a black impact line that sweeps through the enemy-controlled area like a wave. For this attack, a total of four such waves were prepared, separated by less than ten minutes. The transporter worm is like a rock in the waves, advancing steadily. They carry offensive reserves and are responsible for dropping more jumping dogs into enemy camps and gathering areas to increase the troop density in the area. The Gardener Dragon follows the transporter worms and controls the release of the soil balls to ensure that the place where the army passes becomes the Z worms' control area.
Such a push echelon can hit fifty miles a day, mainly due to the growth rate of the soil. Gardener Long knows very well that if Jumping Dog lets go and runs wildly, it can cover hundreds of kilometers a day and can still go into battle at any time. But then, the dead jumping dogs cannot be recycled, and a lot of nutrients and minerals are wasted. The current method of advancing the army with Xi soil may lead to slower victory, but the advantage is that it is stable and can maximize the use of war resources. Learn a safe fighting method first and then consider other things. This is the strategy decided by the Gardener Dragons after brainstorming.
Zhao Mai saw the full picture of Gardener Long's command of the battle through the neural network, and strongly agreed with their tactical choice. Advance layer by layer, constantly replenish and expand the size of the army, and actually convert the controlled territory into combat effectiveness. Zhao Mai scratched his head: If he met an opponent with this tactic, how would he fight back?
