The night was vast. %,
The earth seemed lonely, as if this was the end of the world. The dark red earth spread endlessly forward. Tonight, the Dragon Nest was the only one, and the huge crescent moon hung in the sky. The golden moonlight was like a dragon, looking down at the earth. The golden dragon moon, heaven and earth were murderous. Especially in the Scarlet Flame Highlands, the flames of war were blazing, and the atmosphere was even more solemn.
Under the oppressive moonlight, a few flying cars appeared at the edge of the highlands. The flying cars all had the symbol of the Lion Body Eagle, which was the Bescot family emblem. After a day of travel, these flying cars finally rushed back to the Scarlet Flame Highlands first.
Allen was in one of the cars.
Reina walked back from the driver's seat with a solemn expression on his face.
"How's the situation?" Allen asked straightforwardly.
"This is terrible." Reina sat down and said, "I just contacted the headquarters. We've already lost half of the defensive area. Right now, they are all shrinking to the inner circle of defense. There are currently several barracks being besieged, and one of them is the most dangerous. There are more than three thousand enemy soldiers gathered in that camp alone. They can't defend it any longer. "
"There are quite a few of them. Where are they?"
Reina took out a tablet brain and pointed at one of the coordinates on the map. Allen took it. This was a plan of the Scarlet Flame Highlands. There were several colored areas on it. They were gray, yellow, red, and blue. Among them, the gray area represented the lost defensive area, the yellow area represented the war zone, but the battle situation was still under control, the red area also represented the war zone, but it meant that the battle was tense, and the blue area was safe.
Above the Scarlet Flame Highlands, the Blood Gate Stronghold was located at the foot of the Trident Volcano. The defensive area was fan-shaped with the stronghold as the origin. The three clan defensive areas occupied half of the total defensive line, while the remaining half was under the responsibility of the Federation Military Headquarters. At this moment, on Allen's brain, the Goliath Family's defensive area was already gray. Most of Morsen and Bescot's defensive areas were gray, while the rest were red and yellow.
Right now, only the stronghold and a few buffer areas around it were still showing the blue safe zone.
The place where Reina pointed was a high-red war zone in the clan's defensive area. The red patches were so thick that they looked like they were about to ooze blood. It could be seen that several red areas formed a line of defense, and behind the line of defense was the family camp at the back of the defensive area. Even if only one point of this line of defense was breached, it would cause chain damage. The enemy soldiers could flood in through the gaps in the defensive line and destroy the other defensive nodes from within, causing the entire defensive line to collapse.
"Then let's go here." Allen raised his head and said, "Let's relieve the pressure on this camp first."
"With just us?" Reina shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear clearly just now? There are at least three thousand people gathered there. On the other hand, we only have a little more than two hundred people. This number is not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. "
"There will always be a way to bring up the nearby topographic map." Allen handed the brain to the electronics expert beside him.
Suddenly, the flying car came to a stop. A soldier's voice came from the driver's seat. "There's an enemy up ahead."
"Quantity?"
"A small team of about twenty people."
The chaotic races had attacked the Scarlet Flame Highlands during the day and had now advanced to the central region of the highlands. There weren't many enemy troops left in this rear area, and most of them were small teams patrolling the rear. Bescot stood up and opened the car door. "I'll take care of it."
The night was still quiet, and a group of Catu warriors carefully bypassed the boiling spring in front of them. There were quite a few hot springs like this on the Scarlet Flame Highlands. There were probably not a thousand of them, but at least eight hundred of them. The temperature of the boiling spring water was extremely high, and the boiling water of four to five hundred degrees could burn a person who fell into the water to death within a few seconds. Even the thick-skinned Catus, who didn't have the strength of a dozen or so levels, would only struggle for a few more seconds once they fell into the water. Moreover, the Catus only had thick armor. Not only would these heavy armor not play a life-saving role in the water, they would only add to death.
During the charge during the day, there was no lack of Catus falling into the boiling spring. By the time they were fished out, they had already turned into ripe corpses. The heavy armors on their bodies were cooked red and stuck tightly to the corpses.
No one wanted to become cooked meat, so when the soldiers saw the boiling spring, they circled around it. The boiling spring continuously spat out thick water mist. Once it passed by, the surroundings were filled with mist. They were hot and humid. The Catu warriors felt uncomfortable as they walked through the mist. They just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. One of the people walking at the end of the line suddenly felt something hit him, and his entire body couldn't help but fall in the direction of the boiling spring. With a plop, he fell into the water, and the boiling spring water caused him to scream miserably.
The other soldiers who were alarmed hurriedly ran to the spring, wanting to lend a hand. At this moment, a faint silhouette appeared in the mist behind them. Belmore silently approached the Catus. He used his hands and feet together, knocking these clumsy fellows into the boiling spring two and three times in a row. The Catu warriors finally discovered that he was an uninvited guest and brandished their battle axes towards him.
Belmore shrugged his shoulders and lowered his hands. Dark flames flew between his fingers, each condensing into a short knife. Immediately, he flashed into the enemy formation, as if he had no substance, and his figure shuttled through the Catus' sabers and axes like lightning. When they flashed out of the enemy formation, the remaining Catus' bodies stiffened. Then, they spat out blood arrows from their throats and died on the spot!
Belmore dispersed the Dark Flame Dagger, walked back and dragged a few corpses to the edge of the spring. Then, he kicked them all down and let the boiling spring destroy the corpses.
A moment later, he returned to the flying car. Allen, who was in the flying car, had already made a decision after looking at the terrain, environment, and other data that the electronics expert had pulled out. He pointed at the screen and said, "We can use this place."
His finger landed on a dense concentration of boiling springs. The soldiers of Bescot gave them a name, Thousand Eye Spring. Although there weren't a thousand boiling springs, there were still a hundred or so. The distance between the springs was only one or two meters, so from the sky, the hundreds of boiling springs formed a network, and the large and small boiling springs were grids.
"What do you mean?" Reina asked.
Allen smiled and didn't answer.
"All of you, hold on! Young Master Rainer has already returned with reinforcements. If you're a man, hold on for me! "
In front of the Thousand Eye Spring, there was a valley filled with rocks. Irregular rocks rose up here and crisscrossed the surroundings, making the terrain here unfavorable for marching. One of the camps in Bescot's inner circle of defense was set up on a low mountain in this valley. This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for hundreds of soldiers to guard the camp for a day and a night, and they would have long since been drowned by thousands of enemy soldiers below.
However, the battle was also very tight. The Catus spent a day and finally cleared a path on the battlefield, making it convenient for them to gather troops to attack the camp. Fortunately, during the daytime battle, a few of the enemy Grai giants were killed first. Otherwise, this passageway would have been paved faster and earlier. Right now, the Catus were waving their troops straight up this passageway, while Bescot's troops were guarding the top of the mountain. Both sides were fighting for every inch of space with blood and lives.
There was only one lonely path from the foot of the mountain to the camp. This lonely mountain path was only big enough for one car to pass through. Bescot had set up many obstacles on this mountain path to prevent this kind of situation. The mountain path was covered with bunkers and fortifications. Every few meters, there was a battle fort, or a minefield. Although the Catus' attacks were fierce, they had only managed to clear half of the mountain path. However, there were countless corpses lying on this half of the mountain path. In order to facilitate the advancement of the army, the Catus did not have time to collect the corpses of their compatriots and only lined them up side by side on the side of the road. The corpses on both sides of the mountain path could be lined up, and one could infer the intensity of the battle.
Bescot had also suffered heavy losses. Now, there were less than two hundred soldiers left who could still fight. Almost all of these people were wounded, and some were even seriously injured. They were unwilling to stay in the emergency area of the camp. If he hadn't risked his life like this, this mountain path would have been cleared by the enemy long ago.
Up until now, the cannonballs in the camp had long since been used up, and the solid-state batteries of the high-energy cannons had also been used up. The remaining energy was provided to the chariots and the two intelligent turrets as much as possible. What was worse was that the camp was currently surrounded by the enemy, and the family camp was still unable to deliver supplies to them. The head of the camp was already prepared to die in battle, but just as he was in despair, he received a message from Reina. This undoubtedly gave the soldiers in the camp another glimmer of hope.
However, Reina didn't tell him that there were only two hundred reinforcements.
At the foot of the mountain, a tattered black cloak was blown by the evening wind. The owner of the cloak was nearly four meters tall, and he was already considered exceptionally tall among the Catus. As the commander of this army, Black Nightmare Sabott looked extremely irritated. He had never thought that a mere human camp would take him a day. Even if he took down this camp now, he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of his comrades.
Sabott occasionally supported the serrated broadsword on his waist. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of going into battle himself. However, if he, Sabott, needed to take action himself for a mere two hundred wounded soldiers, he would probably be ridiculed by his clansmen for a hundred years. Sabott couldn't afford to lose face, so he could only urge the soldiers to attack while cursing in his heart.
At this moment, a warrior stepped forward and said, "Brave Sabott, we found a few humans."
"Where?"
"The rear of our army."
"How many?"
"Three people."
Sabott suddenly turned around and pulled out the saw knife from his waist and placed it on the warrior's neck. "Only three humans have come to disturb me. Do you look down on me? Idiot, can't you just send a squad to destroy it? If a squad can't beat me, send me a hundred-man squad. If even a hundred-man squad can't take care of three humans, then there's no need for you to live, because your survival is my humiliation! "
