It was as if a storm had been set off in Mecalene Mountain, and from time to time, a thunderous sound that shook the heavens and the earth could be heard coming from the mountains. Streaks of black flames streaked across the space, leaving behind dark lines. Moments later, high-temperature flames would flow out from these dark lines, landing on the ridges, trees, rubble, and buildings. No matter what it was, it melted like cream when it encountered the black flames. Occasionally, an extremely bright torrent of golden light would cut through space. Wherever it passed, regardless of whether it was dark flames or anything else, it would be forcefully pushed away!
At the center of the storm in the valley was the battlefield where Capullo and the Prison Flame Giant were fighting. That place had already become a dead zone. The battle circle between the two sides spanned nearly a hundred kilometers square. Once they entered the battle circle, even a battleship would be twisted and deformed by the energy storm. On that battlefield. Experts below the general had no chance of interfering, not even being able to enter the arena to watch.
The winds and clouds in Mecalene Mountain surged. Even with the detection equipment, it was impossible to know what was happening inside.
On the Golden Lion that was suspended in midair, Adjutant Sewey furrowed his brows. This was Capullo's first battle since his comeback. Seville knew that countless pairs of eyes were watching this battle. Even if those eyes weren't on the scene, they had plenty of channels to learn about the current situation. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a war that concerned the change in the structure of the old and new parties. The key lay in the outcome of Capulo's battle.
Even if Capulo won, if he couldn't win cleanly, then his reputation would still be affected to a large extent. Right now, inside and outside the Federation, the most suspicious thing about Capullo between the old and the new parties was whether he had recovered from his injuries that year. Once Capullo was found to be still recovering from his injuries, it would be very disadvantageous to the old party. After all, a sick lion, and an old lion at that, was not as threatening as a young and cunning wolf.
If people thought that Capullo was already a legend, they believed that many people would stand on Windsor Bellow's side. There had always been a lot of people who flattered the powerful, especially now that the situation inside and outside the Federation was in turmoil. It had become people's instinct to attach themselves to the strong.
As Capullo's adjutant, Seville was more concerned about the outcome of this battle than anyone else. At the same time, as Capullo's best friend, Seville did not know the marshal's physical condition, even though he had been with Capullo for the past ten years. However, Marshal Wild Lion was like a bottomless pool. Every time people thought they understood him a little, they would only see the surface of the pool.
Seville was no exception.
He didn't even know if the Marshal had recovered, so he naturally couldn't predict the outcome of the battle in the valley.
At this moment, a soldier called out, "Sir, there is a communication request from the Blood Gate Stronghold."
"Connect." Seville retracted his gaze from the screen and nodded.
A moment later, Russen's dignified face appeared on a screen in front of the bridge. Seville saluted. "General!"
Russen nodded and said, "Adjutant Seville, why is it you? Where's Marshal Capullo?"
"Marshal has already broken into Mecalene Mountain three minutes ago and is fighting with Dark Thunder Tango."
"Is that so …"
Seville raised his eyebrows and said, "What happened? General Russen? "
"There are some things. Just now, the enemy attacked the Blood Gate Stronghold." Russen said softly.
Seville unconsciously clenched his fists. "What is the number of enemies?"
"About sixty to seventy thousand, at least not less than fifty thousand. The tricky thing is that we have just carried out a purge of the enemy strongholds in the area under our control. At least a third of the family army and the stronghold garrison are out. What's more troublesome is that we have lost contact with the people outside. Judging from all the events, this should be a long-planned operation. "
"In that case, no wonder the number of enemies on the Running Stream Stronghold side is surprisingly small. If it weren't for Tango, I'm afraid we would have taken down the stronghold by now. "Seville shook his head and said," But what's the point of that? "
He raised his head and said, "General Russen, do you need to …"
Russen interrupted him, "No, if Marshal is fighting Tango, then I will take care of this side myself. There is no need to split up. That's it. When Marshal returns, remember to congratulate me. "
"This subordinate will definitely bring it." Seville stood up straight and said.
The communication ended.
On the other side of the Blood Gate Stronghold, in the battle command room of the command center. Russen stood on the command platform and watched the screen disappear. The corner of his mouth gradually revealed a smile. Beside him, his adjutant frowned and said, "General, why don't you let the golden lion support us? If we have their help, it will be easier for us. "
"How do you know if this is another trick of the enemy? Disperse the golden lion's forces and suddenly attack with a surprise attack. In that case, Marshal Capullo might be in danger. Although I don't believe that there is an existence on this planet that can injure a marshal, it's never wrong to be careful. Besides, you heard it just now, right? Tango did not leave the Running Stream Stronghold, so the battle at Mecalene Mountain was the key. "If Marshal kills Tango, then it doesn't matter if the Blood Gate is lost." Russen's smile was somewhat cruel. "After all, it won't be long before forty to fifty thousand people can be gathered again. However, a Tango is not something that can be obtained just because he wants to. Using tens of thousands of people to exchange for a Level 30 expert is beneficial to us no matter what. "
The adjutant had followed Russen for many years and knew his ruthless temperament. However, when he heard that he didn't care about tens of thousands of lives at all, he still shivered. Russen changed the topic and said, "Besides, if there isn't an expert like Tango in charge." A mere tens of thousands of enemy soldiers really don't matter to me. Inform the various defensive areas to be on guard. If things don't work, then retreat to the stronghold. If necessary, I will personally fight. That's all. "
Just as he was about to leave, a staff officer stood up and shouted, "General, Roddy from Bescot has just contacted us."
Russen stood up and said, "Oh, how are they?"
"They were ambushed and lost a lot of soldiers. The key is that their troop carriers have been destroyed by the enemy and they are unable to return to the stronghold immediately. "
"So that's how it is. Looks like all the people outside have probably encountered similar incidents. Destroy transportation? Interesting, this is not a strategy that those Catus with only a ball of paste in their brains can come up with. "Russen said to the staff officer," Let them try to get back as soon as possible. "
The staff officer nodded in agreement.
Roddy got off the troop carrier and smiled bitterly at the onlookers. Then, he lit a cigar and sat down on a rock. The stone could not withstand the weight of his scales, or perhaps Roddy was so preoccupied that he inadvertently used too much strength, causing cracks to appear on the rock.
"Sure enough, the stronghold has been attacked." Roddy spat out a smoke ring, "And we can't do anything. Even if we rush back to the stronghold on two legs, the war is probably coming to an end, right?"
A few troop carriers were probably too small to be destroyed by Karin. There was a communication device in the car. Although communication in this area was interfered with, under the efforts of the adjudicator's electronics expert, he was able to successfully bypass the interference and contact the stronghold. They were the only foreign affairs personnel who could contact the stronghold. As for the others, there was no news of them.
"We have to do something." Allen stepped forward and said, "We still have a few troop carriers. Although they are the smallest models, they can at least pull back one or two hundred people."
"That's a war of ten thousand people. What can one or two hundred people do?" Reina frowned.
Allen disagreed, "There are many things that can be done. Indeed, this small number of people cannot intercept an army, nor can it repel an army of ten thousand men. However, it is enough for us to break into the enemy, destroy their camps, supplies, and even kill their generals. "
"You're thinking too much." Reina shook his head and said, "It's like throwing a few drops of water into the sea. Do you think the drops of water can act according to their own will? Impossible. In the sea, they can only drift with the current. "
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"Alright." Roddy raised his hand and said, "I agree with Allen on this point. How about this, Allen, bring your own men and I'll give you two hundred more. You guys use the troop carrier to rush back first. As for how to act, it's up to you. Remember, I don't need you to defend the encampment or anything. If you can't defend it, retreat to the stronghold with your men. Don't think about military merits. Only by living can you have military merits. "
"I understand, Uncle Roddy."
Reina stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go too. It should be easier for me to command the Fierce Vulture soldiers. "
He had followed Roddy for several years, starting from a small soldier, and had naturally accumulated quite a bit of reputation in the Fierce Vulture army. In contrast, the Fierce Vulture soldiers might obey Allen's orders, but if it was Reina, then the soldiers would not only obey, but also risk their lives. Allen had no objections to this and made the necessary adjustments on the spot. He handed over the command of the soldiers to Reina, and Reina unexpectedly agreed to cooperate with Allen's decision this time.
This was the first time since the expedition that the two of them had tried to cooperate. Looking at all of this, Rody felt very comforted.
Very quickly, Roddy drew out two hundred men and handed them over to Reina. After making sufficient preparations, several troop carriers left the supply base. After they left, Roddy threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it with his foot. "Well, we can't be idle. Even if we have to walk, we have to hurry back. Even if we can't join the battle in time, we can at least burn the butts of those bastards! "
