Data Wasteland

Armstrong, the leader of the city-state, broke out halfway, causing the Jackal Legion's plan to surround Ricardo to fail, and the Jackal Legion could only retreat.

But on the way back, the Jackal Legion encountered the Southern Army of the Red Country who came to support them.

"Large enemy troops were discovered in the southwest, due south, southeast, due east, northeast and other directions!"

"It's Baiye Fenghua!"

"The city-state coalition forces from the Red Country are chasing from the northwest!"

"True west or true north, legion commander, which direction should we retreat to?"

The commander of the Jackal Corps looked at the tactical map, was silent for a while, pointed to the west of the map, and said in a deep voice, "Go this way."

"Two hundred kilometers further west is the national border of Qingguo." the deputy commander reminded.

"If necessary, take the way to the sacred mountain!" the commander of the Jackal Legion said loudly.

"Will entering the country privately cause a diplomatic crisis?" The deputy commander hesitated, "Zhao Yuankai has already betrayed us once."

"The auxiliary chariots are dependent on each other, and their lips are cold and their teeth are dead." The commander of the Jackal Corps said in a low voice, "If Shahai falls, the Qing Kingdom will not be far from destruction."

"I believe that the Emperor of Qing Kingdom will not understand such a simple truth."

"I understand." The deputy commander nodded vigorously, and then said to the adjutant, "order the entire army to move west!"

On the wasteland, the cavalry group was like a giant python, rubbing on the ground and meandering forward, its huge body bringing up dust all over the sky.

As the military order was issued, the camel cavalry in the wilderness shouted to each other, and the marching army was like a big snake wagging its tail, rolling towards the west.

The desert cavalry is extremely maneuverable, especially the jihadi army. They ride jihadi camels with excellent speed and endurance. It is not a problem to run for three days and three nights without eating, drinking or sleeping. Even if the dune vehicle wants to It’s not easy to catch up either.

Suddenly, dense black spots appeared in the sky.

"Alarm, alarm!"

"A large number of UFOs are approaching!"

Through the scout's telescope, a humanoid mechanical body can be seen suspended in the air, levitating through the jetpack behind it.

"Is it a mechanical demon?"

"No, I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

"Look at the logo. It's from the Heque Principality. I remembered..."

"They are all reformers, reformers from the Heque Principality!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The scouts shouted, and the camel cavalry in the rear took off their rifles, pulled the bolts, loaded the guns, and shot at the Cyborg Legion in the air.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the sky, and the sparks created when the bullets streaked through the armor.

Being so high up, the absolute height difference caused the bullets to lose most of their kinetic energy, and the steel body was not afraid of ordinary bullets. Only a few psychic shots were effective. After a series of random shots, only a few figures burned and fell.

After dozens of seconds of preparation, the Cyborg's counterattack began.

I saw two honeycomb launchers flipped up on its shoulders, and the dense nest holes made people feel numb.

"Cyborg Corps, Rocket Shooting!"

The next second, a large plume of thick smoke erupted in the air, and the screams that broke through the sky stung the eardrums. Countless rockets trailed the smoke and rushed towards the camel cavalry on the ground.

The sound of the explosion resounded across the sky and the earth in an instant, and thick smoke and fire rose into the sky. For a moment, the entire world was enveloped in smoke and dust, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.

"After shooting, retreat!"

The Cyborg who emptied the magazine slowly rose up and disappeared into the clouds.

"Cough cough cough!"

"Damn Red Country Pig!"

"Sand God is on top!"

"May the sandstorm swallow them up!"

After the attack, the overturned desert cavalry got up one after another and cursed the attackers. However, the Jihadi Army was very disciplined and quickly got back on their camels and moved in the designated direction.

In order to pursue the Jackal Legion, Baiye Fenghua dispatched the most mobile River Sparrow Cyborg Legion. About half an hour later, the Cyborg Corps, which had replenished fuel and ammunition, launched a second round of air strikes.

Although the rockets had limited damage when faced with psychic armor, they greatly slowed down the Jackal Legion's progress.

The distance between the two sides continued to shorten, and Bai Yefenghua's army was approaching at a speed of ten kilometers per hour.

"One day, I'm going to beat this **** to death on the bed!"

Faced with the embarrassing situation, the leader of the Jackal Corps cursed fiercely. But it didn't help, the Cyborg Legion's third round of air strikes arrived as scheduled.

An hour and a half later, Bai Ye Fenghua's army approached 20 kilometers away. At this time, the Jackal Army was still more than 70 kilometers away from the Qingguo border.

The camel cavalry ran wildly all the way, and their whips were broken a lot. Even the jihadist camels with strong endurance inevitably became tired, and the marching speed slowed down again.

Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly. As we walked to an open area, we suddenly heard a sharp sound piercing the sky above our heads.

"Boom boom boom!"

Immediately afterwards, countless artillery shells fell to the ground, exploding in the ranks.

"No, enemy positions are found ahead!" The scout rushed out of the chaos and hurriedly reported.

"What!" Jackal's deputy commander's eyes widened and he grabbed the scout's collar, "Which troop is it from?"

"The flag is Night Owl, Ricardo's troops!"

"Impossible!" Deputy Commander Jackal had an expression of disbelief on his face, "How could they go around in front of us!"

"No, I don't know!" The scout shook his head desperately, fearing that the officer would break his neck in a moment of excitement.

Jackal's deputy commander gradually calmed down and asked, "How long is the defense line?"

"Probably, about twenty or thirty kilometers..." the scout said uncertainly, "Their trenches are very long, and there are many people floating around."

The deputy commander of the Jackal Corps thought for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go around!"

At this moment, there were only a few soldiers huddled in the trenches of the Red Country ahead.

Not only were the number small, they were also old, weak, sick and disabled. The trenches were filled with old and damaged helmets propped up by branches. At the same time, these soldiers used portable blowers to blow dry dust into the air.

Amidst the dust, when viewed from the opposite side, they looked like soldiers with their heads exposed.

Behind the trenches are hundreds of traditional artillery pieces. These old antiques are cheap and can only be towed by vehicles, and their maneuverability is almost zero.

In fact, there were not many combatants in the position, and it collapsed immediately. But at this moment, the Jackal Legion was being chased like a lost dog. They did not investigate carefully at all, and they fell into Ricardo's trick of suspecting the enemy without any doubt.

Bypassing the 20 to 30 kilometers long defense line once again slowed down the march.

"Ricardo is calling!"

"The decisive battle location will be at coordinates 3896..."

Bai Yefenghua looked at the telex message and said in a clear voice, "Call Ricardo back, received the coordinates, and wish you a great victory!"

About an hour later, the pockets were closed, and the Confederate Army and the City-State Union Army blocked them front and back, surrounding the Jackal Legion in a valley. Although this place is only less than ten kilometers away from the national border of Qing Country, in just twenty minutes, Canglong will enter the sea, burrow into the mountains and forests, and disappear without a trace. But such a distance is already as difficult as reaching the sky, and it is impossible to make even half a step forward.

.

Under the siege of the two army groups, the Hornet Corps and Desert Anemone Corps that were wandering nearby were unable to rescue them at all and could only retreat sadly.

Not long after the battle began, the jackal Anubis was torn into two pieces by the blind **** and swallowed in one bite.

The desert cavalry in the low-lying areas launched several breakouts and were defeated several times. Finally, they were encircled, suppressed and slaughtered, and the entire army was annihilated.

On the fifth day when the Red Kingdom launched a counterattack, the first main force of the Saudi Kingdom was wiped out.

When the victory came, Chen Xing and Lumsden sat across the tea table in the aeroboat of the Red Kingdom's highest command.

"Master is here. Do you have any instructions for your disciple?" Chen Xing said while making tea. The tone was a bit frivolous, and there was obviously something behind the words.

"If nothing happens, can't the teacher come and see the students?" Ramsden said with a smile.

"Of course I can. Master will come whenever he wants. I will definitely welcome you." Chen Xing said calmly. He didn't need to guess to know that there would definitely be nothing good for the human guardian to visit at this juncture.

Lumsden, who has great wisdom, could not see Chen Xing's cold attitude, and he immediately said straight to the point: "I came today because I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with the students from the perspective of a teacher."

After making tea, Chen Xing put away his cynical expression and said seriously: "Master, please speak."

"What is good and what is evil among all things in the world?" Ramsden asked.

Chen Xing thought for a moment, exhaled heavily, looked at the other party's kind face and said, "Master, please stop beating around the bush, okay?"

"You want me to give up chasing the Desert Legion. This is impossible."

"Although I am the nominal supreme ruler, as long as I dare to issue such an order, I will be pushed to the gallows by the people tomorrow."

"I'm not forcing you to make any decisions," Lumsden said. "I'm just telling you that good and evil coexist."

"Even the **** and unforgivable massacre of the city has a good side, a side that is beneficial to the world."

"As a ruler, you need to observe and view the people and things in this world from a higher perspective than ordinary people."

"Most of the time, maintaining balance is more important than justice."

After saying these words, Lumsden did not speak anymore, but looked at Chen Xing with the kind eyes unique to the elders.

After a long time, Chen Xing put down his tea cup and said seriously, "Teacher, I have taken note of your words."

Ramsden nodded, drank the tea in his cup, stood up and left. Looking at the figure disappearing into Guanghai, Chen Xing couldn't help but frown. The development of the matter made him feel more and more difficult.
