Seeing his comrade's corpse, Luther's mind went blank. His first thought was to sound the alarm. Suddenly, he felt a bone-chilling coldness in front of his chest, and something was flowing out of his body. Luther looked down and saw a bone blade still dripping with hot blood sticking out of his chest. Suddenly, Luther's blood gushed out like a fountain. The soldier clutched his chest and gasped for breath. The temperature of his body kept dropping, and the coldness coiled around his body like a poisonous snake.
Before he died, he saw a Blade Demon flash in front of him, and with a twist of the bone blade between his arms, the world began to spin.
Seeing the sentry's head fall to the ground, the Demon Dweller cackled. He pushed open the sentry post, and a white figure approached under the night sky. It was a Berserk Horned Wolf. The Saber Demon flipped onto the wolf and left the sentry post at the foot of the highland, speeding up the mountain path. Behind him, Berserk Wolf Knight flashed out of the night like ghosts, commanding the wolves to run wildly. Grey clouds rose from the foot of the mountain and spread towards the top of the Blood Eagle Highland.
Behind the gray clouds, flames gradually lit up. As the flames flickered, one could vaguely see the figures of densely packed Saber Demon Warriors, flags, and strange war chariots. Balls of fire were weaving on the ejection components at the rear of the tank. Then, the flames were bounced high into the sky, drawing a parabola in the night sky and falling into the sentry posts or open spaces on the mountain path, setting off wave after wave of continuous explosions!
An ear-piercing alarm sounded at the Blood Eagle Base. Major Luda, who heard the alarm, suddenly bounced up from the bed. As he put on his clothes, he shouted at the communicator on the wall, "What happened?"
"It's an attack, sir!" The communicator quickly responded, "The Saber Demon's army is here!"
"What?" Lu Da raged. "Why did you have to pick this time? Damn it!"
At the foot of the mountain, the Saber Demon Warriors shouted and surged towards the Blood Hawk Highlands like a tide. In front of them, a large number of Berserk Wolf Knight used the mobility and destructive power of this type of soldier to uproot the mountain sentry posts one by one with lightning speed. They moved quickly, not giving the base any chance to react. With the help of the ground war chariots, for a time, the sentry posts of the base were useless.
At this time, a tyrannical aura rose from the Saber Demon camp. These auras came from the generals and the three chiefs of the tribe. Lu Da, who had just arrived at the base's high defensive wall, sensed this, and his expression immediately changed drastically. Every one of them had a combat power of Level 20, and there were at least five Awakened level enemy powerhouses. How could he fight this battle?
Lu Da immediately thought that there seemed to be a small flying ship parked in the warehouse of Blood Eagle Base.
Once the base was surrounded, it would be the only means of escape!
Just as he was thinking about this, the flames above his head erupted. It was the kind of blazing cannonball fired by the Saber Demon Chariot that arrived near the sky and was thrown onto a high wall not far from the major. It immediately exploded and flames splashed everywhere.
The enemy had already attacked the high ground and began to attack Blood Eagle Base.
Berry was gripping the steering wheel.
The convoy returned to the direction of the Blood Hawk Highland. At this moment, the colonel had a very bad feeling. After realizing that the main force of the Blade Demon had evacuated early in the morning, the three colonels contacted their bases to confirm the situation. However, Blood Eagle Base could not be contacted. Berry immediately ordered the entire army to turn around and rush towards the base. Colonels Antoine and Downey also realized the seriousness of the situation. They each brought some of their troops out with Berry, while the rest returned to the base to prevent the base from lacking troops and allowing the Blade Demon to take advantage of it.
When he saw the Blood Hawk Highland from afar, it was already dawn. Berry used all his eyesight in the car and saw that there seemed to be flames flickering in the direction of the Blood Hawk Highland and thick smoke rising. He knew that it was going to be bad. When they arrived near the highlands, a small airship took off from the base and quickly left. Berry slapped the steering wheel and said, "Lu Da, you bastard actually ran away."
Needless to say, there was only one Major Lu Da in the base who had the authority to drive an airship.
Blood Eagle Base had already fallen, and when he saw the mountain path on the highlands, it was a mess. The mountain road was filled with potholes, and the sentry posts were turned into ruins. There were Saber Demons walking on the highlands, and Berry was sure of this. The Federation army gathered near the highlands, and Berry quickly organized a probing attack. However, the Saber Demon's counterattack was intense, especially the war chariots that had already driven to the highlands, bombarding the mountain path. After leaving behind dozens of corpses, one of the vanguards in charge of the attack returned with Crippled Feather.
Berry frowned. There were no magic energy airships in the logistics supply base. In each base, there was only one small airship left for emergencies. All the airships that could be used for combat were thrown into the front lines. As a result, Berry only had ground troops available. After the Blade Demon occupied the highlands, relying on the terrain, if he rashly attacked, he would only suffer heavy losses. Helpless, Berry could only hold back and set up a camp on the ground.
At noon, Major Luda returned with the flying ship. When he walked into the command tent, Berry and the other two colonels were studying tactics. Seeing Luda come in, Berry said in a deep voice, "You still have the face to come back!"
Luda bandaged his right hand and saluted with his left hand. "Colonel Berry, it's not that I'm afraid of death. It's that the enemy's attack is too fierce. Moreover, when I came to the base to report, General Russen had instructed me to prioritize saving my life. Fortunately, this is the case. Otherwise, how could I have brought the three of you such important information? "
"Tell me, what exactly happened last night?" Colonel Antoine pulled Berry, whose eyes were about to spit out fire, and asked calmly.
"This is an attack." Major Luda said, "It's certain that the other party has three to four thousand troops. Under such a force, the five hundred defenders in our base won't be able to hold on. I'm sorry about the fall of the base, but I think the key is how to recapture the base. Oh, right. I've already reported this to General Russen, and he's asking for a video communication with you. "
After saying that, he smiled and didn't say anything.
Berry snorted and called the orderly in to prepare the communication equipment. A moment later, a tablet brain was handed over to Berry. After the progress bar of the link disappeared, a dignified old man appeared on the screen.
"General Russen." Berry nodded.
"Yes, turn on the projection function."
Berry did as he was told. He placed his brain on the tactical platform and switched to the projection function. On the screen, a bust of General Russen immediately appeared.
General Russen was a soldier at the time of Marshal Capullo, about the same age as Marshal Capullo, who was known as the Berserk Lion. Over half a year old, Shao was born early. A head of gray hair was cut to only an inch long, a face covered with frost, and an eye patch with a skull pattern on his left eye. He wore a cloak with a black fur collar on his shoulders, and under the cloak was the uniform of the Commander of the Death-Spreading Legion.
Even though it was only a holographic projection, General Russen's gaze was still sharp. He swept his gaze across the people in the room and shouted coldly, "Colonel Berry, you actually lost your base. How disappointing! I really don't know how Windsor Bellow led you to let the Blade Demon take over our logistics base. Won't you laugh to death if you say it out loud? "
Berry said in a deep voice, "General, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Marshal Windsor Bellow!"
'"Hmph, of course it's your fault. Your mistake is to underestimate the natives of these planets. Major Luda has already given me a detailed report of the whole story. The biggest oversight in the entire incident was that you didn't ask anyone to keep an eye on the enemy, which led to the Saber Demon taking down the base this time! " Russen paused for a moment and said, "Go and call the sergeants from the Saber Demon Camp. I want to see them."
Berry frowned and said, "General, this doesn't seem necessary, does it?"
"Colonel Berry, when I joined the army, you were probably still a child. So, do you think I need you to tell me what to do? "Russen's one-eyed gaze emitted an intimidating aura.
Berry had no choice but to send someone to call Allen and the others over. Allen, Ye Feng, and Mo De entered the tent and felt the atmosphere was heavy. Berry let them step forward and introduced, "This is General Russen."
The three of them hurriedly bowed.
Russen nodded and said, "The three of you did not do your job well. After discovering the enemy camp, you did not keep an eye on it, causing one of our important logistics bases to fall. This is a first-class felony. I declare that the three of them will be executed immediately. His subordinates will be assigned to the vanguard battalion. Major Luda, execute immediately! "
Allen and the others' minds instantly went blank. They never would have thought that General Russen would actually sentence them to death. Major Luda waved his hand, and the soldiers who came with him were about to step forward to take him away. Berry suddenly shouted, "Who dares to come up!"
Downey also snorted and stepped forward to protect Allen and the others with Berry. Colonel Antoine pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked at Russen. "General, it's not appropriate for you to do this. Don't you think a first-class felony charge is a little too much? "
Berry also said, "General, Allen and the others are still acting on our orders. It's not their fault." Also, Sergeant Allen's teacher is Marshal Windsor Bellow, and Horn is his grandfather. If the general wants to execute him, have you considered how to explain it to Marshal and Bescot? "
Russen's remaining right eye shone brightly as he nodded and said, "Colonel Berry, looks like that little girl Windsor Bellow has taught you well. How dare you openly contradict your superiors. Forget it, I'll treat it as giving face to Marshal Greed and Old Horn. The death penalty can be avoided, but the few of them will be stripped of their ranks and demoted to private. Do you have any objections? "
Berry snorted, and Antoine shook his head at him, indicating that there should be no more conflict at this time. Berry nodded and said, "I'll follow the general's orders."
He turned around and said, "You guys, go down."
Allen took a deep look at Russen before leaving with the other two. In the projection, Russen coughed dryly and said, "Alright, let's talk about the base." Colonel Berry, we are preparing to organize a second attack on the center of the fire. You see, this is a matter of great importance. At this time, I don't think the spread of death will be able to send troops to support you. Moreover, the ones who attacked the base were just some wandering and unstoppable outsiders. I don't think it's difficult for Sirius, right? "
The so-called outside was the collective name for the rest of the tribes outside the Saber Demon Ten Tribes. Even if the external demons couldn't compare to the ten tribes, it was obvious that there were far more Saber Demons on the base than the Federation Army. Russen's actions were extremely unjust.
