Allen climbed up an ironwood tree and used the strange dense branches to conceal his figure. He picked up his exquisite binoculars and saw a few wooden stakes erected beside the campfire in front of him. Three Federation soldiers were hanging on them, dying. A Saber Demon was using a sharp knife to dig out a large piece of muscle from one of the soldiers' chest and hand it over to a thin Saber Demon beside the campfire.
The Demon Cultivator bit off a small piece of raw meat with his mouth and threw it into the campfire. Then, he shouted. The surrounding Saber Demons raised their weapons and shouted. Then, they rushed towards the soldiers and used the weapons in their hands to cut off pieces of flesh and blood from the soldiers' bodies.
The scene was unbearable.
Allen almost shattered the binoculars. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and carefully slid down the tree trunk.
Sneak back.
When he arrived at the location where the floating car was stored, Mo De had already arrived early. His eyes were red, his chest rose and fell, and he lowered his voice and said angrily, "Look at what those bastards have done!"
Allen was silent. A moment later, everyone else returned. Everyone was furious. Allen immediately contacted the base and reported the coordinates. After making the record, Coggess said, "Come back immediately. Don't alarm them."
"Yes, sir." Allen ended the communication and looked at the others. "Let's go back to the base first. We won't be able to do anything with just the few of us. "
The truth was that there were at least three tribes gathered in that camp, with a total of more than three thousand people. With just Allen's group of six, they simply couldn't make any waves. Their anger was unbearable, but they could only silently drive the floating car away.
It was already morning when they returned to Blood Eagle Base. After Allen and the other sergeants reported to Coggess, they were ordered to go back and rest. On the other hand, Berry used remote communication to contact the directors of Aizhuo and Neru bases.
"Colonel Berry, are you saying that there are three Demon Cultivator tribes gathered in the Ironwood Hills?" Colonel Downey, the director of Aizhuo Base, was a middle-aged man with big back hair, two small mustaches, and a pair of dark green eyes filled with a solemn expression.
Colonel Berry put his hands behind his back and nodded, "That's true from what our people have found. Gentlemen, the Ironwood Hills are right in the middle of our three bases. It's the only way for us to get to and from there. The Blade Demon Tribe chose to gather at this location. In my opinion, it must not be a coincidence, but there is some sort of plan. A few days ago, I also informed you that one of the tribes' armies had appeared in the Wind Eroded Wasteland. If there was one, there would be two, three! If the allied forces of the tribes attack any of our bases, you can imagine the losses we will suffer. "
"Well, Colonel, what do you propose?" Colonel Antoine was as gullible as Berry, but with a refined appearance. He has light brown hair and a pair of glasses on his tall nose. He was the person in charge of the Nile base and was cautious and meticulous by nature.
Colonel Berry took two steps back, and a tactical deduction platform rose from the ground. The complete terrain near the Ironwood Hills had already been projected on the platform, and the appearance of the tribal camp was simulated with the coordinates reported by Allen. Colonel Berry said in a deep voice, "Look, this is the camp of the Blade Demon Tribe. The Ironwood Hills are located southwest of our base, according to the records of our base. Every May and June, the Marquis of Heaven would have a monsoon blowing from the northeast to the southwest. The monsoon was fierce, and the wind could even blow people down at its strongest. Counting the time, the monsoon season was about to arrive. We plan to set fire to the forest in this area when the wind rises. You two also know that the ironwood tree is dry and flammable. At that time, the wind will help the fire, and it will definitely cause a fire that will spread throughout the hills. "
Colonel Antoine's eyes lit up as he said, "If the fire enters the forest, it will force the enemy to evacuate southwest. If our alliance with Colonel Downey ambushes at the exit of the hills at this time, it will definitely be wonderful. "
"That's right. I can't help but want to see the surprised expressions of these Saber Demons." Colonel Downey rubbed his fists and said, "Berry, you'll be in charge of this operation. There's no need to wait for death to spread to them. By the time they send troops, we might already be cleaning up the battlefield. "
Berry leaned forward with his hand on the tactical platform and said, "In that case, let's call this plan Wind Rise!"
A strong wind blew past!
Allen exhaled, narrowed his eyes, and looked southwest. On the rooftop of the dormitory building, one could vaguely see the outline of the Ironwood Hills. There were three tribes of Saber Demons hidden there. However, in the past two days since he returned to the base, he hadn't seen any movements from above. Every time he thought of the Federation soldiers being dismembered and killed by the Saber Demon, it was as if there was a flame burning in his chest.
He finally understood why Coggess would say that there was no compromise on the chaotic battlefield. Only when one side was exterminated would the war stop. Saber Demon Ogre, while humans burned Saber Demon Blood. The hatred between the two sides had been buried since an unknown time. The only thing that was certain was that … This resentment would only grow deeper and deeper, and it could not be resolved.
There is no justice in war, only stance.
"You're here." Coggess's voice sounded from behind.
Allen turned around in surprise. The major used his robotic arm to gently press down on his hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Coggess looked in the same direction and said softly, "The wind is blowing."
Allen said, "Has the wind ever stopped?"
"That's right. It only blows in this direction, but it doesn't happen often." Coggess said calmly.
Allen stretched out his hand and felt the direction of the wind. He nodded and said, "Indeed, the wind came from another direction. Why did the wind blow from the northeast today? Is this the monsoon? "
"Almost every year in May and June, there will be such a wind direction." Coggess lowered his head and said, "So this is also the time for us to act."
"What do you mean?"
"Just as you think, we have already planned a joint operation with the other two bases. The code name for the operation is Wind Rise." Coggess snorted coldly, "The wind rises just to wait for the wind to change. Allen, your team has been included in tomorrow's battle sequence. Remember to rest early today and do a big job tomorrow! "
Allen straightened his body and clenched his fist against his chest. "Yes, sir."
Coggess smiled and waved his hand. Allen left happily. He wanted to tell the others the good news.
These past few days, William and the others had been suppressing a wave of anger.
Now there was finally a time to vent!
In the previous battle in the Wind-Eroded Wilderness, Allen's team had lost five soldiers, and now all of them had been replenished. The newly reported soldiers didn't have the same doubts about Allen as Nazi and the others. To be able to survive the battle at Beast Fang Mountain without dying, no one was stupid enough to question Allen's strength. Moreover, there were fierce people like William and Broy in this squad, and the recruits were proud to be assigned to this squad.
Allen returned to his dormitory and announced the wind rising operation. Everyone was in high spirits and wished they could immediately go out and fight the Saber Demon. Of course, this was impossible, so he had to be prepared and conserve his energy. Allen sat quietly all night, tempering his Origin Energy. By the time he gathered the next day, he was already in his best condition.
At sunrise, the gates of Blood Eagle Base opened, and military transport trucks drove out of the base. Colonel Berry had dispatched a thousand combat soldiers this time, including nearly a hundred non-commissioned officers and three majors. Only Major Luda and four hundred or so men were left behind. Apart from transport trucks, the convoy was also equipped with two all-terrain six chariots. The colonel himself was still driving the off-road vehicle and followed the convoy out.
The long line of chariots stopped when they were fifty kilometers away from the Ironwood Hill. Two of the six chariots, each carrying a hundred warriors, spread out on both sides of the hill, while the main force got off the chariots and walked, advancing rapidly towards the hill. In the evening, the hills were in sight, and Berry gave orders. The special corps was the first to press down on the hills. These hundred soldiers were all armed with flamethrowers. A team of ten arrived at the hills under the unified command of their respective sergeants and shot out blazing fire dragons, igniting all the ironwood trees on the northeast side.
Instantly, flames soared into the sky, dyeing the sky blood-red. The monsoon wind from behind carried the fire to the southwest, and it quickly burned through half of the hill. Once the fire started, it meant that the battle had officially begun. At this moment, the two base armies that were already on standby on the other side of the hill had already cleared out a fire belt, waiting for the Saber Demon to run out and die.
Waiting was undoubtedly a torment, and the soldiers of the base were ready to do a big job. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long before they began to see Saber Demons being chased out of the hills by the fire. Seeing this, the commander of the base immediately gave the order to attack. Thus, across such a large hill, Berry, who was in the northeast, could still hear the gunshots coming from the other side.
The battle began, but it ended very quickly. Berry frowned when he saw the green signal flare bounce off the night sky in the southwest, but he still had the two six cars on standby fire lime bombs to extinguish the fire. After more than an hour, the fire on the hills was suppressed. When the wind blew away the smoke, Berry began to let the main force enter the hills. For some reason, a shadow appeared in his heart.
The battle came too smoothly and ended faster than he had expected.
Allen followed his men deeper into the hills and arrived at the camp he had discovered that day. The camp was almost completely burned down, leaving behind many wreckage. There were only a few Saber Demon corpses in the camp. It seemed that the Saber Demon had evacuated. Not long after, Colonels Antoine and Downey brought their men and horses to meet up. As soon as he met Berry, Colonel Antoine said in a low voice, "This could be a trap."
Colonel Berry's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "What's the situation?"
"The number of Saber Demons we intercepted is exceptionally small. According to our post-war statistics, there are less than two hundred of them!" Colonel Antoine sighed softly, "I'm afraid the Blade Demon Tribe had already left before we arrived. All that was left was to deal with the aftermath."
"If that's the case, where did they go?" Colonel Berry frowned.
It was night, and the wind was blowing fiercely. At night, the temperature of Nether Domain Star plummeted. The cold wind was as sharp as a knife. Even the sentries on duty were unwilling to expose themselves to the wind all night. Luther rubbed his numb hands, blew on the hot air, and walked back to the sentry post. The room temperature in the sentry post warmed his body. Looking at his partner, he had already fallen asleep against the corner.
