Catch them all in one fell swoop

There is a saying that the so-called growth means that the three views are refreshed again and again.

There is indeed a certain truth to it, that is, whenever the three views are refreshed, the feeling of shit mixed with mother-in-law will make people feel extremely happy.

For the soldiers of the Republic of Tula, it was indeed a disaster.

When they entered the Faron Province, they had considered that they would be discovered and blocked, so they carefully concealed their whereabouts. This time, they were divided into five teams and went in different directions and finally met at the assembly point, all in order to minimize the risk of

Risk of being blocked.

As a result, we didn't encounter the rebels, but we encountered a lot of monsters who didn't know where they came from.

To say the least, the wilderness in the magical world is not safe. It is normal for monsters to wander around. For example, the ogres rushing towards you with big sticks, and the bugbears charging after the ogres. Even if it is a wyvern, this counts.

One of the common monsters in the Supreme Mountain Range. If the number of monsters is not outrageous, it is considered normal.

But the appearance of owlbears, Lamia, Arachne, harpies, and centaurs, which are very rare monster species that ordinary people rarely see, is very strange. Some troops even encountered more than ten kinds of forest dragons.

That's right, there are more than ten species, not just a dozen.

A series of combined punches knocked the soldiers of the Republic of Tula to a point where they were helpless, making them somewhat doubtful about life.

——Is the province of Faron so dangerous?

The reason why this place is commercially developed is that on the one hand it has an excellent deep-water port, and on the other hand it is because there are very few monsters in Faron Province, so it has the basic conditions for convenient transportation. If the above-mentioned monsters are all common species here, living there

I'm afraid the residents of Falon Province are not all humanoid Gundams...

And while they were being beaten and running away, Pei Renli was wrapped in a thick fur cloak on the highest mountain range, looking down with a telescope.

The clusters of firelights in the forest were extremely eye-catching against the dark night. However, because the telescope he used had a relatively low magnification, he could only see the firelight, and could not see the specific details at all.

Faron Province is extremely important to him and the Demon Kingdom. The existence of this military buffer zone can greatly ensure the safety of the Demon Kingdom. It must be independent.

Pei Renli showed sufficient importance to this. Except for not calling the tree elf, almost the whole family moved out and moved out all the accumulated wealth.

"Isn't it done yet? I want to go back to sleep."

Fallen Angel was squatting half a body behind Pei Renli. She was very unhappy to be pulled up and forced to the deck in the middle of the night.

"Come on, come on, hold on a little longer."

Pei Renli actually said this to himself. The temperature on the top of the Supreme Mountain Range was very low, and his small body couldn't bear it. Even using magic to keep warm was not very effective.

"I'll treat you to some steamed buns when you get back, so don't move around."

"What is that? It sounds delicious."

Before the fallen angel could speak, Lulu, who was hiding under her fur cloak, couldn't help herself.

"A famous dish from my hometown, well... Anyway, let's talk about it later. Look at those demons, they didn't complain."

Behind the fallen angel, the devils and devils who had taken refuge with Pei Renli were also squatting on the ground at this time. It may be that the scorching environment of the abyss made these demons less resistant to the cold. Each one of them looked like they were squatting on the ground in the middle of winter with their hands thrust into their bodies.

Like the neighbor who keeps warm in his sleeves...

Since the whole family was mobilized, these good-hearted evil spirits were also moved out, but there was no need for them to take action for the time being. Pei Renli was just watching the show.

The busiest people now are actually Elyse and Ravna, who are more than ten meters away on the left rear.

There was a table set up somewhere with an exquisite sand table on it, and Elisee was sending a message to the maid golem through Ravna, using this method to command the monsters who were blocking the soldiers of the Republic of Tula.

In the past, only Pei Renli could do this kind of thing, and he was actually not good at commanding. He was pretty good at specifying a battle plan, but the specific implementation had to rely on his own judgment.

Not only did Alice operate the five-thread operation, but she also made the entire combat plan herself. After all, she had received professional military training and was obviously more capable than Perenli, a two-handed swordsman.

Strictly speaking, this is not Elysee's own credit, the grassroots officers trained some time ago also played a big role.

Even if there is a maid golem to relay the communication, it is impossible for Elysee to keep an eye on all the changes on the front line all the time because she is watching the sand table from behind. At this time, officers working on the scene are needed to relay important information.

, and execute orders reasonably.

After Elysee joined, the interaction between the front line and the command became much more reliable. Although it still didn't look like an army, it was at least much more decent than when Perrenli led the team in the previous operations.

According to Elysee's plan, it would be best if all these soldiers could be wiped out in the forest. If not...

Okay, no more ifs.

Through the telescope, Pei Renli could see many people running out of the forest.

The probability of total annihilation is indeed very low, mainly because there is really not enough time to prepare.

Since receiving the news, the Demonic Kingdom has prepared for this blockade for ten days, including transporting personnel and supplies in batches, determining the blockade location, and a series of preparations.

But even so, it was still impossible to completely surround all the soldiers, so Pei Renli gave them an order to eliminate all the fish that slipped through the net. It would be better not to wipe them all out than to have anyone break away from the team.

As for the large army that ran out, it depends on what Pei Renli does.

He threw away the telescope and waved the golden staff of swift light.

"It's time to get to work, so cheer up."

A bright magical aura lit up from beneath his feet, and quickly formed a golden circular array the size of a manhole cover.

Just like activating large-scale machinery one after another, the magical aura activated under Pei Renli's feet began to spread toward the back, connecting to the fallen angels and the feet of every benevolent evil spirit behind him, like a tree diagram, and finally formed a huge magic circle.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The quality of the regular army of the Republic of Tula is still quite high, and the weapons and armor are also sophisticated enough. When the military formation is set up, one regular army soldier is enough to fight against five straw-shoe armies without being injured.

Although they were attacked and the military formation had no time to deploy, with their excellent quality and the commander's decisive retreat order, at least 14,000 to 14,000 people from the five troops totaling about 20,000 people escaped from the forest and escaped.

Successfully arrived at the assembly point to meet up.

Of course, the mood of these people is obviously not very beautiful...

"Quiet! You are soldiers, not the aunts bargaining at the market. Please be quiet!"

The team captains who rushed to the assembly point reported to the general in a flurry, which made his head spin.

It was extremely strange to be attacked by monsters in the middle of the night. Moreover, it was not just one or two troops that encountered monsters, but many of the five troops were blocked by monsters.

Moreover, the action patterns of these monsters are very weird. They are more inclined to last hits than to track them. That is to say, they do not seek to hold down most people, but specifically look for wounded people who cannot run away or people who have separated from the main force to hit last hits.

, make sure to kill every soldier.

Although the damage is still within the controllable range, monsters should not organize themselves spontaneously. Such unreasonable behavior makes people feel very bad.

"General, what should we do now?"

Yes, what should I do?

The general thought about it carefully:

"Let the guards be on alert and rest in place for twenty minutes, and then we will go to the Lorient Fortress immediately."

Because the monster's attack was too sudden, they ran out, but a large amount of supplies and baggage were left behind, and they no longer had the ability to continue to advance covertly to Falon Port.

The Fortress of Lorient is a fortress in Brevot located on the High Mountains. It is also the only place where the river countries and the Republic of Tula can connect by land.

Because the mountain road is very difficult to walk and the transportation cost is extremely high, the Lorient Fortress has only military value and no commercial value. There are very few merchants taking this road, and they should not be discovered when they go to the Lorient Fortress.

Then again, since the Lorient Fortress belongs to Brevoir, why are soldiers from the Republic of Tula allowed to enter?

To trace the cause, we may have to go back hundreds of years.

The Republic of Tula has always been married to Brevo, and many people, from military generals to civilian nobles, have blood from the Republic of Tula.

Even Prince Victor, who has not succeeded to the throne yet, his grandmother also came from a powerful family in the Republic of Tula. The relationship between the two countries has always been relatively close.

The other thing is pure profit.

Everyone does hope that the Republic of Tula will disintegrate, but they do not want it to be completely eliminated. In that case, the territory controlled by the resistance organization is likely to become a huge union, which is essentially no different from the Republic of Tula.

This is similar to throwing a mad dog into the Middle East. It will be beneficial to everyone to keep this land in a state of war for a long time.

Brevo is certainly no exception.

On the one hand, we told Navara that we support your revolution, and on the other hand, we flirted with the Republic of Tula.

The Lorient Fortress is an insurance for these soldiers. They can get supplies there and even get support from the Brevo military. All of this was obtained through countless exchanges of favors and interests.

The general's judgment was very accurate. Going to the Lorient Fortress for a short rest would not only replenish supplies, but also not delay the plan in terms of time.

But what he didn't realize was that their route of action had been completely figured out.

For example, their rally point.

The choice of this location must take into account the convenience of entering the Lorient Fortress on the one hand, and the convenience of directly attacking the Port of Falon on the other. There are not many places to choose from.

Yes, they were right at the foot of the High Mountains.

"Did you...hear anything?"

After giving the order to rest in place, one of the captains suddenly said.

Everyone who fell silent listened carefully, and a hazy sound seemed to come from the top of the mountain. At first, they thought it was the sound of wind, but they soon realized that it was definitely not wind.

"It's a spell, someone is casting a spell!"
