Blue Sword

At the same time that the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group broke into the battlefield, the Crusaders' scouts also discovered them.

"Have you located it?" In the command center, Alfred slammed the table angrily, "Have you found the red-haired mage assassin and the two female knights?"

"This time I must avenge the last time!" Alfred thought of the compensation he handed over last time and some of the assets he was forced to sell off because he didn't have enough money. He suddenly felt regretful and his heart was bleeding, "For I’m connected to the frontline command system! I want to take command personally!”

"But..." The adjutant hesitated. The commander in front of him clearly wanted to avenge himself.

"But what? Am I not one of His Majesty's personal frontline commanders?" Alfred said displeased.

The adjutant was speechless upon hearing this. Although his motives were obviously problematic, Alfred, as the commander of the northern front line, requested to take over the command authority within the scope of his responsibilities. From a procedural point of view, there was really no problem.

He really wants to risk his life and refuse to disobey, unless he doesn't want to do it anymore.

"Yes! Your Highness Alfred!" the adjutant said quickly.

Coming to the electronic sandbox, the distribution of all Crusaders squads on the front line was displayed. This is the latest batch of technologies supported by the Holy See: a digital command system that allows commanders to easily deploy troops and generals and grasp the overall situation on the battlefield.

The little red dot representing the Cyan Sword, according to the last report of the Crusader scouts, is not far north of the ruins of Olympia.

However, the scout's signal was silent after the report. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened, and the Crusaders needed to reconfirm the opponent's location as soon as possible.

"Like this! Like this!" Alfred quickly drew a route on the sand table, "Then like this! The twenty teams on the front line that I designated will all move forward according to the route I have drawn!"

"Yes!" the adjutant immediately gave the order.

In the distance, Cang Qing Sword, fighting on the battlefield, quickly noticed something was wrong.

"The frequency of enemy encounters is increasing rapidly, Captain!" Eleanor pulled out the spear from the body of the knight's retinue, turned around and said, "We must be being watched by scouts!"

"The surrounding spirits told me that there is no one spying on us nearby." Nora waved her hand, and the transparent spirit floated towards her, "On the contrary, there are several enemy teams approaching us in the distance."

"With my mental vision, I didn't detect any mental bodies nearby." Medea folded her arms and said, "But I probably know what's going on."

When she mentioned the spider web command system she encountered last time, the girls were shocked when they heard this.

"What! It means mobilizing a large number of enemies to surround and annihilate us, right?" Hidrifa said excitedly, "Are the Crusaders so afraid of the strength of our Blue Sword?"

This person always has such a clear way of looking at things... Everyone ignored her speech with a tacit understanding. Eleanor said worriedly:

"If we follow what Medea said, then every time we encounter an enemy, no matter whether we get rid of the other party in the end, we are actually exposing our position."

"It's not good to hide nearby." Mia added, "Since the other party can determine our approximate location, they will definitely search and investigate nearby. Should we separate our troops?"

Divide the troops, divide the team into many, and break it into parts to try to penetrate the enemy's encirclement network.

"Is it really useful to divide the troops?" Eleanor questioned, "You must know that the number of enemies is far greater than ours. Even if the team is split up to the greatest extent, for the enemy commander, it is just a need to determine The positions have become nine."

"What's more, the combat strength of a single person is far weaker than that of a team. Unless you don't engage with the enemy throughout the whole process, the risk of death in battle will be greatly increased once you encounter the enemy."

"Perhaps we can use Hearthfire Island." Sheila said thoughtfully, "Everyone hides in Hearthfire Island, leaving only one person with the strongest stealth ability to sneak away with books outside."

"Among us, I should be the one with the strongest stealth ability." Mia objected, "However, it is daytime now, and when the shadow ability cannot be used to its maximum effect, even I will be at risk of being discovered."

"Then it's back to the original problem." Sheila sighed. "If you fight alone, once you expose yourself on this kind of battlefield, the risk will be greatly increased. It's better to act as a group. At least you can cover each other."

"That's right, if stealth doesn't work, we'll go ahead head-on." Asker said, "There's no need to worry about being discovered. We just need to maintain a guerrilla state and continue to eat the small groups of troops we encounter."

"Then if the commander mobilizes a large number of troops..."

"Then he won't be able to maintain such a dispersed large-scale search network." Ask said calmly, "Isn't it just right for us to escape from the encirclement?"

Eleanor was stunned for a moment and pondered.

In other words, fight if you can, and run away if you can't? There seems to be no problem with this tactic, but why does it feel obscene?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Asker made a final decision: "Then let's do it like this!"

——————

A squad of knights is approaching the designated location.

Four knights holding spears and shields and eight knights holding rifles carefully walked through the nearby collapsed ruins and arrived at the coordinate destination given by their superiors.

"No enemy found." The knight said through the communicator.

"Search the area." Another knight issued an order, and the knight's followers began to pull the net to investigate.

Suddenly gunfire rang out, and a knight's retinue fell down.

"Sniper!" the knights roared, and all the subordinates hurriedly hid behind the power armor knight, and two more subordinates fell down in the process.

Then everyone saw a knight holding a gun and shield slowly walking out on the road ahead, followed by warriors holding dual battle axes.

"Prepare to charge, I will cover you." Eleanor and Hidliba said.

"Okay." Hidrifa nodded.

The knights put up large shields and defended on the spot, trying to intercept the bullets that the snipers might fire from any direction. The followers carefully leaned out from the side of the shield and started shooting wildly in the direction of Eleanor.

The bullets crackled on the shield. Eleanor, who was already at level 3, could still hold on to the shield. Hildelie, who was standing behind, could withstand the damage of the bullets.

Another long, low scream, so obvious in the rattling rattling of the assault rifle. The bullet from the sniper rifle passed through the gap between the two large shields and shot through the neck of a knight's guard.

"Hide better!" A certain knight who was covered in blood yelled.

Although we are using explosion-proof and ballistic shields supported by the Holy See, at least when you are shooting, you have to hide behind the shield, right? What's going on with exposing your body to shoot at the opponent's sniper!

The knight's followers were also speechless. They were all well hidden. It was obvious that the opponent's sniper's marksmanship was too accurate, right?

However, it was useless to argue at this time. The followers could only risk their heads and shoot again, trying to block Eleanor's charge from the opposite side. As a result, another sniper bullet exploded the head of a knight's follower.

Eleanor had already rushed in front of her, and a Crusader knight thrust his spear straight at him, but the latter swung his shield and blocked the way.

Hidliba behind him took advantage of the situation and jumped up. The other three Crusader knights staggered their spears upwards, trying to assassinate the female warrior in the air.

Sidrifa swung her two axes in the air, but she used Asker's Shadow Eagle's Plunder, cutting off all the spear points that were stabbed, and then fell into the ranks of the three knights' retinue.

The subordinates had already raised their guns and were about to shoot the female warrior in the face, when they saw someone suddenly rush out from the opponent's shadow.
