It was night, and gunshots could be clearly heard from inside and outside the defensive wall in the camp of the city guards. The harassment of Storm City's cavalry squad from time to time caused the soldiers of the city guards to be unable to relax for a moment. Only those Blazing Battle Soldiers simply hugged their guns and closed their eyes to sleep in their shooting positions to recover their mental strength. These warriors selected from Bescot's family guards were all experienced veterans who knew when to rest.
Admittedly, the enemy could use the cover of the night to launch a sneak attack. However, as long as he guarded a few key positions, there was no need to worry. The heightened defensive wall made it difficult for the enemy to attack. However, the soldiers of Sur City had never fought any battles before. There were still many recruits inside, so their experience was naturally not as rich as the Blazing Battle Soldiers.
In the camp office, Roy leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Lucy stood at the window and whispered, "Belmord has been gone for so long. Nothing will happen, right?"
"Don't worry, miss. I know that fellow very well. The night is his stage. I'm worried that he'll miss the big thing when he sees his hunter's heart. "Roy opened his eyes and said.
"Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?" A person suddenly crept into the office. Belmord snorted and said, "Here's what you want. Take a look."
He took something out of his coat pocket and spread it out on the table. It was a scribbled map. However, it could be seen that it was Storm City's barracks. Belmord was originally doing reconnaissance work and drew this sketch based on his observations. The map clearly marked the main tent, barracks, horse pens, and supplies storage points of the camp. It could be seen that Belmord had put a lot of effort into it.
"Our forces are far weaker than the other party's, and the ammunition for the Flame Fighting Rifle is almost exhausted. If we follow the normal way of fighting, as long as the enemy attacks two or three more times like they did during the day, we will have to prepare to break through the city and break out of the encirclement. " Roy's fingers kept moving on the map of Storm City's camp. The tip of his finger stayed between the main tent and the supplies storage point for the longest time.
Finally, he stopped. Roy knocked on the supplies and said, "Their supplies must be destroyed. Without them, they won't be able to fight a protracted war. The daily consumption of a thousand-man army is no joke. As long as we drag this out for a day or two, they will have no choice but to retreat without supplies. "
"I don't think they'll let us burn the supply point easily. Miss Adele isn't here, so we can't give them a flame bomb from afar like last time." "Don't be careless, Roy," said Belmore. I've already seen it. Their defense is very tight. Especially the main tent and the supply point, they should be marked on the map. "
"I know. That's why it's hard to distract them with feints."
Lucy frowned and said, "We've already used this method to blow up their artillery positions this morning. No matter how stupid their commander is, he won't fall for it twice in a row, right?"
Roy laughed and said, "Of course. However, in the morning, we were fighting on two fronts. Tonight, we are fighting on three fronts, or even four fronts. Weave between the real and the false, and only deceive when using troops. "
He turned to Broy and shouted, "Get up and work, brother."
The Highlander grabbed the heavy hammer and exhaled a breath of hot air from his chest. "I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time."
Roy quickly arranged for four teams, the first two of which were responsible for harassment. The target of the third team was the supply point, while the fourth team was to cover and act as a surprise soldier when necessary. It could be imagined that the actions of these four teams would definitely give Mo Gu a headache. Just as they were about to leave, a soldier informed Roy to go to the guard wall.
Arriving at the defensive wall, one could see through the night that the barracks of Storm City were ablaze. The other party seemed to be fighting someone. Roy narrowed his eyes and said to Belmore, "Could it be a trap, pretending to create chaos to lure us out of the city?"
"It's hard to say." Roy didn't dare to come to a conclusion.
At this moment, a hiss came from the wilderness. Under the flames, something quickly pounced into the camp, and sparks immediately splashed everywhere. Lucy used the sight of a sniper rifle as a telescope. From the sight, she could see that many parts of Storm City's camp were on fire. The soldiers were fighting with some wild beasts, and the ones that could be seen the most in the flames were snakes. There were all sorts of snakes, two of which were as thick as buckets, the most conspicuous. They rampaged, occasionally rolling up soldiers and throwing them into the sea of fire.
Apart from snakes, there were also wild boars with fangs in their mouths, as well as some ferocious beasts that looked like lions and tigers. In the end, it was a large snake covered in black and white scales. The snake had a bone crown on its head, and a golden horn was exceptionally dazzling under the flames. The snake swam as if it was flying, occasionally bending its neck and growing explosively. It used its bone crown and horn to knock the besieging Raging Thunder Knight flying, unable to form an effective formation.
What's more, from time to time, flames would flow through the snake scales all over its body. Then, the snake opened its mouth and spat out a fire dragon. The snake shook its head, and waves of fire flew, burning everything in the camp. In the flames, the snake seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction of the sight. Lucy found the pair of pale golden snake pupils extremely familiar. He suddenly remembered that this pair of snake pupils was almost the same as Bai's.
"It's Bai!" Lucy pointed at the snake. "That's Bai, the snake that Allen raised!"
Roy was stunned, and Belmore cried out, "When did that thing grow so big?"
"That's not an ordinary snake. It's the Black Twilight King Snake. Bai should have evolved. Hey, this guy is here to help. "Lucy said.
Roy nodded and said, "Alright, let's take this opportunity to move out."
Mo Gu had never thought that tonight would turn out like this. According to his original plan, he would use the cavalry squad to constantly harass the opponent's city defenses. At the same time, the main force was ordered to rest and recuperate. They will carry out a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning and must break through the city in one strike. Originally, everything was going according to plan, but unexpectedly, a large number of ferocious beasts suddenly appeared from the wilderness behind the barracks. They suddenly attacked the camp, causing Mo Gu's arrangements to be in a mess.
Especially one of the horned snakes. This exotic beast's scales were thick, and the fire/gun didn't even leave a trace on its body. Only a captain-level sword infused with Origin Energy could injure it. That giant snake was extremely violent and could even spit out flames, causing Mo Gu to suffer heavy losses.
However, disaster never came alone. While the barracks were in a panic over the sudden beast tide, the enemy took the opportunity to attack. They first sent out two squads to attack head-on. When Mo Gu sent out his troops to intercept them, a third squad suddenly appeared from the night. Fortunately, Storm City still had the advantage of numbers, so it wasn't enough to mess up the arrangements of Sur City's Elite Soldiers.
However, Mo Gu didn't expect that the third squad would still be a feint, even if this squad was made up of the Blazing Battle Soldiers that Mo Gu feared the most. When Mo Gu thought that he had fended off the attack of Sur City, the fourth squad led by Lucy quietly attacked the supply dump. This greatly surprised Mo Gu. After witnessing the might of the Blazing Battle Soldiers during the day, Mo Gu focused his attention on them the moment these soldiers appeared tonight. He didn't expect that the Blazing Battle Soldiers would act as bait this time, causing him to be unprepared for the fourth squad.
Very quickly, the supply point was blown up by a few of Lucy's grenades. When Mo Gu arrived, the soldiers were fighting the fire, but the supplies they had brought with them had already been used up. The remaining food was not even enough for breakfast tomorrow. At this moment, Mo Gu realized that having more people was sometimes a burden.
At dawn, Bai led the herd of beasts to retreat. Mo Gu took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Sur City. This attack was even more tragic than yesterday. From Storm City's powerful attack, Roy could feel Mo Gu's anger. Sur City defended with all its might, and this time, even the residents of the city were mobilized. After a bitter battle, Storm City still returned without success, but Sur City's defensive wall was also in danger.
Several sections of the defensive wall had collapsed under the enemy's fierce offensive. Although emergency repairs were being carried out, Storm City's next attack would definitely use this as a breakthrough point to expand the results of the battle.
Returning to the camp, Mo Gu let the soldiers rest and also let the Furious Thunder Knight return to Storm City to request for supplies. Roy had expected Mo Gu to do this, so he arranged for Belmore to intercept him. However, Mo Gu had a good eye this time. He sent out five or six cavalry in a row and went out on different routes. In the end, Sur City was unable to allocate manpower. Even with an expert like Belmore, a Furious Thunder Knight was still able to cross the blockade line.
In the next few days, Storm City's offensive slowed down. While Mo Gu continued to attack Sur City, he had no choice but to send a portion of his soldiers into the wilderness and forests in order to hunt wild beasts to satisfy his hunger. However, this method attracted the attacks of Bai and other wild beasts. After leaving behind dozens of corpses, the hunting team returned to the camp. The food they brought back was not enough for a meal.
For this, the soldiers of Storm City had no choice but to tighten their belts.
The balance of the battle slowly tilted. Mo Gu could only hope for Storm City's support. If he couldn't wait for reinforcements, he could only choose to retreat.
As the battle gradually entered a stalemate, a team passed through the Wind Erosion Canyon and headed in the direction of Sur City. Allen rode on his horse and recalled that when he passed through the exit of the canyon, the original stronghold of Storm City was actually empty.
This was very unusual. Originally, he thought that there would be some friction when he passed by the stronghold. But now, Storm City seemed to have retreated to this stronghold. What was going on?
Just as he was thinking about the possibility, the sound of horse hooves sounded in his ears. Allen raised his head and saw Regis galloping over. This fellow couldn't bear the loneliness of the journey, so he would leave the team from time to time and gallop wildly. Allen was also happy to let him be a scout. Seeing that he had run back not long after leaving, he felt that things weren't that simple.
Sure enough, Regis came to Allen's side and pointed forward, "Guess what I found over there?"
"A team, Storm City's team." r1o58
