The afternoon sun was lazy, but for some reason, it became poisonous when it reached the Scarlet Flame Highlands. The surface temperature of the highlands itself was higher than any area in Twilight 6. With the help of the large hot springs and the three volcanoes at the end of the highlands, the temperature of the ground at noon was so high that the scenery was distorted. This was not a small burden for the Catus, who wore thick steel armor and preferred heavy weapons. The heat rising from the ground caused them to expend a lot of energy marching on the highlands, so much so that when this troop that had just finished sweeping the area returned to the temporary camp, almost all of the soldiers sat down in a relatively cool place, their tongues hanging out as they panted heavily.
There were one or two hundred people in this temporary camp. In the past four hours, camps like this had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain on the Scarlet Flame Highlands. They were countless segments of the Catus' attack on the Scarlet Flame Highlands, and they were forming a tight network of troops from these camps.
This was very different from the Catus' previous swarm of attacks. The tight offensive network's firepower was evenly distributed. It didn't have any outstanding strengths, but it also didn't have any obvious weaknesses. More importantly, such a distribution made it impossible to guess where the Catus' heavy troops were located, so they were unable to attack with surprise troops, causing the battle situation to be passive and defensive towards the Federation.
But for Adele, the camp in front of her was her target, and the two hundred enemy soldiers inside were equivalent to a military contribution. Adele wore a dark brown tactical suit, covered with light armor. The armor was painted with patches of varying shades, allowing her to almost blend in with the red rocks that were everywhere in the highlands. She observed the highlands with a tactical telescope and marked targets through the intelligent system on the telescope.
"Attack." She put down her binoculars and whispered in her earphones.
Even with a sharp howl, four black appeared in the sunny sky above Adele's head, each dragging a rolling flame behind it. They cut through the sky, tilted and quickly landed in the temporary camp, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. Several fireballs rose up between the camps, and the shockwave of the explosion caused the red rocks around the camp to collapse like sand, with the explosion as the center.
Even though it was a kilometer away from the camp, not only was the wind full of hot sand, but even the wind itself was filled with a blazing aura. The wind almost blew away Adele's camouflage hat, and the girl pressed down on it. Only after the aftermath of the explosion in the camp had subsided did she order the ambushed soldiers to attack. She was also carrying a sniper rifle with a light gray shell. Like a nimble cat, she moved between the rocks and the mountains as she advanced toward the camp.
Under the attack of several shock missiles, rings of earth and stones appeared on the ground of the camp, and not a single piece of the nearby mountain rock was intact. The corpses at the heart of the explosion were even more mangled. The thick steel armor on the corpses was severely twisted. Under the impact of the missile explosion, they could not provide any protection at all. The corpses of the camp fell, but there were still a dozen lucky survivors who were on the edge of the explosion.
One by one, the Catus, the Catus. One by one, the Catus. One by one, the Catus of the Catus. He shouted and roared. Suddenly, he saw that a a of. of Catus of Mountain. He roared and snarled. Suddenly, a wound the size of a bowl exploded on his chest. The thick armor protecting him was useless, and the flesh and blood inside sprayed out a few meters away with the gushing blood. The Catus were stunned. Just as they were looking for who had done it, a faint silver ray of light pointed straight at their forehead, followed by a sudden explosion above their eyes. Blood, flesh, and bones flew backward like flags, clearly marking the direction of the impact.
After losing half of his head, no matter how valiant the Catus were, they could only collapse with a loud bang. Without the support of this expert, the remaining Catu warriors scurried around like headless flies, being killed and harvested by the human warriors who were constantly attacking the camp.
The battle was fierce and short. From the bombardment of the shaking missile to the fall of the last Catu warrior, it was only a short ten minutes. The camp was filled with the smell of burnt creatures, and as the soldiers cleaned the camp, Adele entered the camp with a sniper rifle on her back. The muzzle was still warm. The enemy captain had been taken down by her.
"Sister, it has been confirmed. All the enemy soldiers have been annihilated." A moment later, a soldier reported the result.
Adele lowered her head, and in the distance, the sound of gunfire could be heard. Even the wind was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Starting with the surprise attack of the chaotic races in the morning, the war in the Scarlet Flame Highlands exploded. The allied forces of the Catus and the Grai Giants flooded the entire highlands, and in the early stages of the battle, the unprepared human side was beaten back step by step. Only when he retreated to the middle of the Scarlet Flame Highlands did he barely manage to stand firm.
After that, it was a severe test for the various defensive areas. Whether it was the Federation military or the private armies of the various clans, no one's scalp wouldn't go numb when facing an enemy ten times their own. What was even more fatal was that the current stronghold's forces were scattered, and only two-thirds of the remaining defenders were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Especially the Bescot and Goliath family armies, they had already sent half of their forces to leave the highlands to sweep through the enemy bases and bases in the area under their control.
With the remaining forces, they immediately showed signs of defeat when they came into contact with the invading enemy. Bescot was fine. After all, he was a famous aristocratic family with a deep foundation. Even if he was defeated, he had no choice but to retreat into the depths of the defensive area, but his retreat was not chaotic. The Goliath Clan was also in a hurry to evacuate. There were even many supplies in the frontline positions that didn't have time to take them away, so they hurriedly fled to the rear.
Among the several defensive areas of the Scarlet Flame Highlands, the Goliath Clan's army could be considered the fastest to lose the most defensive areas.
Originally, the Morsen Clan's army was only comparable to the Goliath Clan's. It was even slightly inferior. The Morsen Clan had always lacked a strong military force to guard the place. Otherwise, they wouldn't have considered absorbing the Goliath Clan's army through marriage. Because of Old Kate's insistence, the marriage between Adele and the son of Toure collapsed, and the Morsen Clan spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of mercenaries to form an army. Among all the clan armies on Planet Heaven, the Morsen Clan's army was ranked near the bottom.
However, in today's chaotic race attack, the Morsen Clan was unexpectedly tough. So far, only a quarter of the enemy's defensive area had fallen into the enemy's territory. The reason for this had a lot to do with the fact that the Morsen Clan did not participate in the mission to sweep through the area under their control. The Morsen Clan, which could preserve its complete strength, had instead become the strongest clan army on the Scarlet Flame Highlands.
The commander of the army, Zeke, was the commander of the largest mercenary group hired by the Morsen Clan, Eagle Wings. He was also a retired Federation colonel. His military talent was outstanding. This time, facing the ferocious attacks of a large number of enemies, Zeke changed his strategy of holding firm. He deliberately exposed a few gaps in the defensive line, so that the enemy soldiers would think that they could take advantage of them. However, the enemies who went deep into the defensive area did not expect that not only would they not be able to win, they would instead be surrounded and annihilated by the ambushes arranged by Zeke.
It was like digging a few diversion canals on a dam to allow the surging flood to drain. The flood was still fierce, but it was not enough to drown the embankment in an instant. Under Zeke's exquisite command, the pressure from the enemy soldiers was always within a bearable range.
Even Adele had to rejoice that she had recruited a good commander this time.
"Sister, it's time to go back." At this moment, a soldier reminded her.
Adele nodded. Since this morning, she had taken down two such temporary camps and slaughtered nearly a hundred enemy soldiers along the way. Right now, the ammunition of the team, the physical strength of the soldiers, including her own mental state, had reached a critical point. Indeed, she had to return to the rear to rest. With a gesture, Adele walked back with her sniper rifle on her back, and looked back as she stepped on a high rock.
That person, I wonder where he is now? She thought, but did not stop. She brought her team, which had been reduced by nearly half, back to the family camp.
The family camp had yet to be affected by the flames of war, and the Morsen Clan had chosen this highland. On the left was the Federation military's defensive area, and on the right was the area that Bescot was in charge of. Only these two areas had not fallen, so the Morsen Clan would not be in too much danger. Adele returned to her residence, took a bath, changed her clothes, reloaded her ammunition, and carried her sniper rifle to the command hall.
The hall was busy, and the ground was covered with messy cables and wires. Several high-power brain terminals were connected by technicians to form a central processor that could quickly process more than 10,000 data. With its help, Zeke could control the slightest change in the defensive battlefield at any time, thus dispatching and even reformulating strategies to deal with it.
Adele came directly to the retired colonel's side. Zeke, who was already a middle-aged man, had a rare pitch-black color, but two? It was already white. His face was resolute, giving off a feeling that he would never compromise. From his body, one could see the toughness of a soldier. With him around, everyone in the hall felt at ease.
"Mr. Zeke, how is the situation?" Asked Adele.
Zeke turned around. He admired the Morsen family's seemingly delicate daughter, who was braver than most men on the battlefield. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry. The main pressure of the enemy is still on our side. Coupled with our decompression strategy, unless the enemy suddenly increases his troops, it won't be a problem to defend for a day and a half. "
"Look, the enemy's forces are mainly in the defensive area controlled by the Federation Military, and here …" Zeke pointed to an electronic map on the screen.
