"Take the initiative to attack?"
Even Peter was surprised by Allen's decision, but to Lucy and the others, it was perfectly normal. The silver-haired youth they were familiar with had never been a passive person. He had never avoided the cruel competition in the death arena, the unreasonable provocation in Babylon, or even the battle between Nether Domain Star and the Saber Demon.
Of course, this time was no exception.
"Are you serious? Second Lieutenant? "Peter said," No matter how few troops the Saber Demons send out, they will definitely be more than us. If we take the initiative to attack, it will be very difficult for us to win. "
The others also looked at Allen skeptically.
Allen did not answer Peter's question directly. He walked to the window and looked at the base under the night sky. "When everyone heard the news of the Saber Demon's appearance, were you afraid? I can tell from your eyes that it's normal to be afraid, and I will be afraid too. After all, no one is born a warrior. "
He turned around and said, "We are afraid of war, afraid of losing our lives, and even more afraid that our families will have no one to rely on after we die in battle. I think everyone in the base thinks the same way. "
"But why are we still here, leaving our homeland and coming to this distant galaxy? That's because if we don't stand up and choose to fight, the enemies here might appear on Earth! No one wants a second Battle of Dawn, so we're here. Use our blood and even our lives to protect our homeland and our families. "
Allen stepped on the floor and said, "The war that is about to happen here may be a trivial battle for this planet. But I want you to believe that the battle here, this base, will affect the outcome of the Nether Domain Star Battle. Because in front of us is the Saber Demon's Sacred Site, the birthplace of their interstellar civilization. As long as we destroy it, we will definitely be able to add to the Saber Demon's defeat. "
"At this moment, the Rose Empress's army is already on its way. All we have to do is hold on until they arrive. But it's not enough to just defend. We need to know the number of enemies, or even reduce their forces in advance, so as to reduce the pressure we have to face. Everyone, taking the initiative to attack is not purely a matter of bravery, but a better defense. As well as allowing more people to survive! "
There was silence in the command hall until Peter suddenly applauded, "I say, Second Lieutenant really has the potential to be a politician. What a wonderful speech. But … "
"You're right. Only a weakling will hide in a turtle shell. Let's do a good job!" Peter said ruffled, "I'll arrange for manpower. How many people do you need?"
"A hundred people is enough, but they have to be worthy of a fierce flame."
"Roger that."
Peter left the hall. Allen looked at the remaining officers and said, "Can I leave the defense of the base to you?"
"Of course!" An officer exclaimed. "Don't worry, Second Lieutenant. We will do our best to defend ourselves!"
"Yes, let those Saber Demons know that we are not bones that can be gnawed down so easily!"
Allen said with satisfaction, "Then I can rest assured."
Then, he winked at Lucy and the other two, and the four of them left the command hall. When they arrived at the plaza, the commandos that Peter had prepared had already gathered. A hundred soldiers got into the military truck one after another. Even the two main war chariots that had detained Lu Da were transferred out to Peter, ready to be used as cover and cover for the rear.
Allen and the others shared an off-road vehicle with Peter. After the soldiers opened the gate of the base, the commando vehicle drove out of the base and into the wilderness wrapped in darkness outside the base. Peter drove the driveway with the wind blowing in the wilderness. "You know what? You looked like a cowboy just now. "
"Cowboy? What's that? "
"That's the product of the Battle of Dawn, the pioneers of the Old West. They are brave, fearless, and a little stupid. "Peter said with a laugh.
Allen put his hand on the door and held his chin. "Doesn't sound bad."
"Yeah. So cowboy, what are we going to do next? "
"Let's go to the sentry post first. There hasn't been any snow or wind in the past few days. The Saber Demon will definitely leave traces. We'll follow these traces to their camp and give them a fireworks feast. "Allen looked at the two main war chariots behind him.
"What a good idea!"
After arriving at the attacked sentry post, Allen had no choice but to thank the good weather without any snow or wind for the past few days. This allowed the traces of the Saber Demon leaving after he succeeded to be completely preserved. He himself was an expert in tracking, and the Saber Demon had never been a careful person. As long as the traces left behind weren't blind, they could be seen. Naturally, it wouldn't be difficult to track them. However, the direction the traces were pointing in became clearer and clearer.
Neverwinter Lake!
The convoy advanced under the night sky. The barren land was silent, and the atmosphere was exceptionally solemn, like the calm before the storm. Allen gradually felt that something was amiss. When he saw light appear on the dim horizon, he shouted, "Stop!"
The car stopped. Allen grabbed the binoculars, activated his movement technique, and jumped onto a nearby hill. After the binoculars turned on their night vision mode, an army was moving far away in the cyan wilderness.
"What's the situation?" Peter also followed.
"It's the Saber Demon," Allen said as he adjusted the telescope's range. "They're rushing through the night. At this speed, they'll be able to reach the base before dawn. "
"There are quite a few of them." Peter also raised his binoculars to observe.
Suddenly, some tall figures flashed through the binoculars. Peter hurriedly pulled the camera over and fixed it on a few giants covered in scales and without facial features. The lieutenant took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, I've won the prize. It's a troll!"
Allen also saw the giants. Fortunately, there weren't many of them. However, these twenty or so trolls were enough to form an offensive team. Even the three defensive walls of the base probably wouldn't be able to withstand the collision of these trolls.
They must die here!
At this time, Allen made up his mind. If these trolls were allowed to participate in the battle, even if the base could be defended in the end, there would still be heavy casualties. He put down his binoculars and said, "Lieutenant, I need you to attract the attention of the enemy."
"Are you going to clean up those trolls?" Peter wasn't stupid either. The Federation's battle report had mentioned the destructive power of these trolls more than once. Several Federation bases on the Alex Plains had been trampled to the ground by hordes of Trolls.
"Of course, we can't let those big fellows mess around. These trolls are at the back of the army. I have to go around them. Bring some people to attract the attention of their main force. Don't fight too hard. It's best to disperse their formation. "
"I know what to do."
The two of them hurriedly returned to the ground, and then all the soldiers got off the truck. Allen picked about twenty people and drove a truck into the wilderness with Lucy and the others. They wanted to bypass the Saber Demon's troops and ambush the twenty or so trolls from behind. Peter led the other soldiers forward, looking for an ambush position. The main war chariots followed. The two war chariots would maintain a certain distance from Peter and the others and provide firepower to repel them as they retreated.
As for the truck, it stayed on standby. When Peter and the others returned, they could immediately retreat and shake off the pursuers with the speed of the truck.
All the arrangements were completed in a short period of time. Suddenly, Allen and the others didn't have time to discuss in more detail, so they could only adapt to the situation.
Ten kilometers away, Peter found a suitable place for an ambush. The terrain here was undulating, and the rocks were piled up, which was just right to be used as a mask. He immediately gestured for the soldiers to disperse. Peter held a magic sniper/rifle and found a high ground with a wide field of vision to lie down. There was a cigarette in his mouth, but it was not lit. Peter just habitually bit the cigarette butt and smelled a trace of tobacco in his nose.
The two main war chariots were already on standby, and the soldiers had also completed the firing array. Everything was waiting for the enemy to send them up.
At this moment, Peter strangely did not feel the slightest bit nervous. The flames on the horizon were getting brighter and brighter, and he could even feel the earth trembling slightly. However, during the battle, Peter's thoughts drifted far away. He remembered that when he was young, he often had to risk being beaten half to death for a piece of bread to barely survive.
After that, he was adopted by a disabled veteran, and the man taught him many skills to make a living. That period of time was also the happiest, but the good times did not last long. During a bandit raid, the village that had stayed for three years was set ablaze, and his adoptive father was killed in the resistance.
After that, there was a period of homeless life. It wasn't until he met her that Peter had roots and stopped wandering.
"Wendy, are you alright …" He asked himself quietly.
The flames pierced into his eyes. Peter took a deep breath and hid his gentle face deep in his heart. Unknowingly, time passed very quickly. The vanguard of the Saber Demon Army could already be seen.
In the vanguard of the enemy, a Demon Cultivator was particularly eye-catching. In the sight of Peter's sniper/rifle, the Demon Cultivator rode a blood-like horned wolf. It was a mutated Bloodthirsty Berserk Wolf among the Berserk Horned Wolves. Riding on the Blood Wolf was a Thousand Commander. He did not wear armor like the other Saber Demons. Instead, his upper body was bare, and there was a crescent moon axe hanging on his back. He looked like a battle madman.
The cross star in the sight was fixed on the Thousand Commander's forehead. At this moment, the Saber Demon's gaze was cast over in the sight. Peter's hand steadily pressed down on the trigger. A faint blue light flickered in the sight. Then, the Thousand Commander's entire head exploded, but it was a sniper bullet condensed from Origin Energy that exploded his head.
The rough sound of a magical sniper/rifle rang out in the desolate mountains, opening the prelude to the battle.
In the middle of the army, Kamu rode a Prison Fire Beast. When he heard the gunshot, the Saber Demon General's expression changed. He pointed his saber at the source of the gunshot and shouted, "There's an ambush. Charge! Kill all the humans and step on their corpses. "
In a single sentence, the Saber Demon's ferocious nature was revealed.
