Chapter 336: Quarrel and Reconnaissance

Attached at the beginning is a map of the war zone (simple), as if it is not very convenient without a map:

"If I were you, I would call back the other two troops to strengthen the defensive capabilities of this camp."

Another human mage raised his head and answered the commander of the portal garrison who was examining them.

"They never attacked our camp, but annihilated other advance teams one by one because they did not have enough combat troops and could not directly capture our camp."

But this does not mean that they are not capable of attacking our camp now.

He pointed out a problem sharply. Is the portal camp that they think is impregnable really an impregnable fortress?

Here is a small fortress with 6,500 people, but it is far less solid than those fortresses that are reinforced in all directions.

The important defense facilities of the portal are composed of three layers of nested ring walls. This ten-meter-high and two-meter-wide wall is a masterpiece of the war mages' wall-building skills.

Eighty towers and arcane focusing transmitters erected above the towers, a total of two hundred war mages.

Just, is this enough?

"According to the existing intelligence, both advance teams were annihilated in the mobile and offensive battles. As long as the advance teams do not move, there will be no risk. Actively retreating is equivalent to giving up the task assigned to us by the empire, and my family will be disgraced."

Another elven mage shook his head and tapped the table with his fingertips. Although his tone was calm, it was also a little sharp.

"In this case, they have no ability to attack our camp. Do we have to hide in the camp like turtles?"

The elven mage looked at the last seat, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"Yes."

The human mage looked at the elven mage's eyes focused on him, and could only suppress his inner emotions.

He wanted to mock these elves, these elves who did not need to think about strategies and tactics in the past, and relied on the mage group to crush the past.

You have also come to this day.

"Our best choice is to recall the army and wait for the empire to mobilize more resources for us to rebuild an expeditionary force."

A force of about 4,000 people is no longer suitable for the current war situation.

In the past, a 4,000-man army could defeat the enemy while controlling consumption and manpower, and was the minimum organization to achieve the campaign goal, but it is not possible now.

An army composed in this way cannot achieve their combat goals when facing new enemies.

But as soon as the human mage finished speaking, the contemptuous looks at him began to increase, and the human mage also followed his colleagues and began to close his eyes and rest - out of sight, out of mind.

Looking at the command room that suddenly became silent and exuded a cold feeling, Eno rubbed his increasingly frowning eyebrows and exhaled a foul breath.

One side advocated retreating and waiting for follow-up support, while the other side analyzed it by weighing the pros and cons.

He agreed more with the suggestion made by his fellow elf mage... After all, if the retreat order was given, he didn't know how long he could keep his position as the commander-in-chief of the advance team.

"Both of your suggestions are valuable for reference, but I think we need to wait for the report of the magic flying reconnaissance team before making a decision."

The garrison commander coughed lightly. Although he didn't like these human mages who were temporarily stuffed into the magic empire team, he still had to give them some face.

After all, a large number of low-level mages born among humans undertook the production of all magic rifles in the empire. The gradually expanding territory and the increasingly spreading rebellion also forced the arrogant elves to let the mages of other races reach a parliamentary co-governance.

"But we can't have the tragedy of the first and fourth advance teams again. I hope to establish a rapid reinforcement force composed of spellcasters."

Eno coughed again, and there were some things he didn't say.

In this way, even if another advance team was destroyed, they could accurately obtain information about the enemy.

They didn't have the habit of long-distance reconnaissance, and at most they only let the war mage conduct a simple reconnaissance before the attack.

"I hope everyone can cooperate in a friendly manner in the next period of time,"

"Okay, do you have any other opinions?"

Eno put away his scrutiny and moved his thoughts away from these mages.

"If not, this meeting ends here, and the confirmed content will be conveyed to each unit by the messenger."

Eno looked out the window. The sky of the other world was filled with thick clouds that could not be seen through, casting a shadow visible to the naked eye on the ground.

I hope that the next plan will be executed without error. We must find the enemy first before we can make tactical plans for the enemy.

The third advance team, the line infantry team, the supply escort team.

The supply team advanced along the road they had opened up before. The jungle on both sides was full of traces of burning by fire. An open area was cleared on both sides of the passage so that the enemy's troops could not charge at close range.

There were also several surprise attack troops who wanted to harass their transport troops without knowing the consequences, and the supply team suffered heavy losses because of this-he had to admit that swords were still quite threatening in close combat.

And this open charging distance could kill the enemy's melee troops.

But the attackers all died in the end. The few swords that rushed to the front were no match for the advanced magic rifles, and the bayonets in the hands of the line infantry were no toys... They also had trolls and wizard guards.

A team of line infantrymen followed the armored troll cautiously. Its heavy and huge body proved that it was a good vanguard. These three-meter-tall and nearly four-meter-tall guys were also excellent meat shields.

They could attract the enemy's attention when alive and serve as cover when dead. Their status was not much higher than that of the line infantrymen.

In the center of the supply team, there were full supplies, which were sent from the portal station. Including weapons and ammunition, daily consumables, and some anesthetics, which were necessary to maintain the smooth and smooth work of the advance team.

He thought that today should be the same as before, and there would be no danger.

The enemy only had the longbow in their hands, which had a range of only half that of the magic rifle, and the sword that could only be used as a melee weapon - just like them before.

If it weren't for the dense jungle as a natural cover, the sword and the longbow could not stop them from advancing.

The line infantrymen had also heard the officers around them discussing the destruction of the first and fourth advance teams, and prayed that this misfortune would not fall on their heads.

He saw a white shadow flashing in the woods not far away, and he did not slow down his pace.

When did these guys dare to run out of the defense line they built in the woods to cause trouble for them.

He did not dare to speak, if he was wrong, he would be beaten up.

He did not need to report, the sharp tip that turned into a cold light announced his arrival.

The iron arrow from the heavy crossbow accurately hit and pierced the head of an armored troll. Its small head was directly shot through, and the heavy crossbow arrow with turbid brain was nailed to the tree on the other side.

The siege crossbow was the only weapon in the hands of these natives that could effectively kill the enemy.

As the troll fell to the ground, the other guarding trolls suddenly screamed, raised the heavy hammer in their hands and started running.

The voice of the supervisor sounded in the formation, asking the line infantry to disperse along the supplies they needed to escort.

"Defensive formation! Put on bayonets and prepare to resist the charge, protect the goods!"

The line infantry took a deep breath, tightly grasped the magic rifle in his hand and began to load the bullets. This thing still gave him a sense of security.

The weapon that surpassed two eras gave him a sufficient sense of security.

The gun formation that was ready did not wait for the enemy's charge.

The white shadows in the forest raised their weapons and aimed like their mirror images.

The line infantry swallowed.

It was a big trouble.

Until he saw the enemies in the forest in the distance, firing back at them with the same weapons as them.
