Lord of War

Under the pitch-black night, what should have been a quiet camp was filled with painful wailing.

In this camp area, the flames were as bright as daylight, and it was the brightest area in the outskirts of the entire Void City. Even standing on the walls of the Void City, you could see the bright lights here in the distance.

"What the hell is going on!?" Yade's face looked extremely anxious.

"I'm not too sure. I have already asked someone to report to the Void City immediately. The Lord's Mansion said that they will send someone to check immediately." Someone reported.

"Damn it!" Yade cursed fiercely, "Where is Sean?"

"I don't know, the people sent to the lord's mansion didn't find him." The officer who was reporting continued, "It seems that the target person has left the city temporarily, but I don't know where he went. Void City obviously can't understand it too clearly... But I heard that we will come back tomorrow. Now that something like this happened to us, Thain and the target person will definitely rush over to check it out as soon as they come back, but..."

"But what?" Yade roared impatiently.

"I'm worried that with our current situation, even if Thain brings the target person over, we won't be able to do it."

The target person, of course, refers to Sean.

Hearing the officer's report, Yade gritted his teeth, the anger on his face became more intense, and he felt a kind of helpless sadness for his fate.

Bad luck.

Originally, it was because their army was the largest, but Thain specifically said not to cause conflicts, so he could only split the army into two camps. Although this has some problems with the issuing and command of orders, it is still possible to divide it into a battalion of 10,000 people and a battalion of 5,000 people, so Yade didn't think too much about it. Just at this time, an order came from Void City, and a mercenary regiment of 10,000 people who had already been built next to it suddenly withdrew from the camp and gave this camp to them. In this way, they only needed to make some repairs and expansions to accommodate them. Fifteen thousand of them.

So at that time, Yade thought that his luck was still very good. Even in order to be more confident in his plan to kill Xiao En, he also divided the camp into two camps, that is to say, there is another core camp in the camp where the upper-level officers are concentrated. In this way, Yade can naturally use "for the safety of officers" as an excuse to carry out key defenses and defensive layouts in this camp.

At that time, as long as Xiao En came to inspect and tricked him into this place with an excuse, wouldn't everything be up to Yade?

Everything had been planned, but he didn't expect such a big accident to happen at this time, which completely exceeded Yade's expectations.

After dinner, a large number of soldiers began to suffer from poisoning reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, they also suffered from weakness, dizziness, and excessive exhaustion. This is why the soldiers in the camp are now moaning. But if it was poisoning aimed at them, there were still nearly a quarter of the people in the camp who did not have this situation, especially the upper-level officers in the core camp, obviously there was no such problem.

According to the theory of common sense, to disintegrate the true combat effectiveness of an army is not simply to reduce the number of soldiers. The fastest and best way is to solve the middle and upper level officers who can command, so that the orders from the upper level of the army cannot be conveyed to the lower level immediately, so it is only natural for the army to fall into a state of chaos—this kind of thing ,

Even ordinary soldiers can understand it.

Because of this, Yade didn't think much about it.

And soon, the doctor sent from Void City came over.

After examining some of the soldiers, the final diagnosis was similar to what Yade had guessed in his heart: long-term fatigue and lack of sleep, plus digestive disorders caused by overeating, and food problems caused by acclimatization poisoned. A single item is not too fatal, just take a break, but if the two are combined, the situation is more serious, but if there is no rest for a few days, I am afraid there is no way to recover.

This is an important reason why the army believes that everything will have logistics and supply support.

After the medical staff wrote out the prescription, boiled the potion to help detoxify and everything was done, there was only one or two hours left before dawn.

The remaining quarter of the soldiers were already exhausted, not to mention the officers and Yad in the camp.

"My lord, do you want to arrange someone to patrol?" an officer asked.

"Why are you still patrolling!" After accumulating anger for a day, coupled with various discomforts caused by exhaustion and lack of sleep, Yade finally inevitably exposed the arrogance and unreasonableness of the nobles, "Who else do you think now? Able to patrol? You? Or me?"

After being scolded by Yade, the officer didn't dare to say anything, and the other officers looked at him with pity.

Obviously, everyone is very tired at this moment, and they can't wait to go to bed immediately. Come out to say these things at this time, isn't it just looking for scolding, even if you really want to do your duty, it's not now. At this moment, if the soldiers who are still able to move continue to stand guard, it will definitely arouse military resentment. This problem is much more troublesome than food poisoning.

It's just that Yade is so angry, it still makes others feel a little dissatisfied. Of course, no one would say anything at the moment, and soon someone came out to smooth things over. Yade just let out a cold snort and went back to rest in his camp. The other officers looked at each other, with some helplessness in their eyes. It was an easy task, but no one expected it to become so troublesome. This was completely beyond their expectations, so they could understand Yade's anger.

Back in the camp, Yade's face looked very ugly.

"He said he was an elite, bah!" He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, then picked up a bottle of good wine and took a big gulp. After feeling that his throat and even his entire stomach were completely burning, Yade sat on the edge of the bed , remove the robe on his body.

Perhaps because of excessive exhaustion, coupled with the effect of alcohol, Yade soon felt a little drowsy, fell on the bed behind him in a daze, fell asleep like this, and even dropped the wine bottle in his hand, I didn't even have the slightest feeling when the precious golden yellow liquid inside flowed out.

Soon, the entire barracks fell into silence.

"It should be almost time." A middle-aged man with a full beard said suddenly.

"Wait a little longer, be careful." Compared with the burly figure of the bearded middle-aged man, the speaker is much thinner. "According to the information from the employer, this time The opponent is not easy...""

Before the thin man finished speaking, another person interrupted him: "You mean you don't believe in our ability?"

The person who said this was a woman, but her voice was not soft and charming, but rather rough and hoarse. She may have been a beauty before, but now there is a hideous scar on her face that spans almost half of her face, across the entire throat and spread to her chest, apparently even the vocal cords have been damaged. Even if such a woman has a proud figure not inferior to Elizabeth's, it is really difficult for people to have any desire.

Of course, people who know her identity will not have any thoughts about her.

"Sister Xie, I believe the old wolf doesn't mean that." Another young man who should be regarded as the youngest in the crowd laughed and said, "Everyone knows that you are the most powerful poisoner, but the other party is the Fourth Darbion Legion." Soldiers, there is nothing wrong with us being careful."

"Red Scorpion, I'm not very good at talking. You also know that I have never entered the Temple of Wisdom, so don't mind if I say something wrong." The thin man called Old Wolf smiled apologetically , "Anyway, we all know about poison. The longer the time, the greater the advantages and benefits for us, so it doesn't matter if you have more and so on."

"Hmph." The woman called Red Scorpion snorted coldly, but this time she didn't object.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, and that the four people who spoke were all relatively well-known in the mercenary group circle in the southern part of the mainland, the other two mercenary group leaders who could be said to be here to gather numbers did not dare to speak much. Anyway, among the six mercenary regiments, although the size of the two mercenary regiments has a standard size of 5,000 people, in terms of combat effectiveness and other capabilities, it is natural that there is no way to compare with the four in front of them, so they There is no shame in keeping your mouth shut.

"It's almost time." The youngest man said.

But before the leaders of the two mercenary regiments could react, the three known as Red Scorpion, Old Wolf, and the burly man had already waved their hands and issued the combat order to attack.

A dozen teams with a size of about dozens of people sneaked into the camp immediately with a clear division of labor.

Originally, everyone prepared a lot of archers to deal with the guards standing guard, but what people expected was that there were no soldiers in charge of guarding, which saved them a lot of effort. And among the dozens of mercenaries responsible for the first infiltration, those who wore black leather armor with a black skull emblem embroidered on a white background were obviously the most professional, followed by those who also wore black leather armor but embroidered A person with a red scorpion pattern.

These two groups are from the Yemei Mercenary Corps and the Red Scorpion Mercenary Corps respectively.

These two mercenary groups, together with the wolf mercenary group led by the so-called old wolf and the bear mercenary group led by the burly man, are all well-known mercenary groups in the southern continent. Although they can only use black-striped flags due to scale constraints, for many large mercenary regiments that are qualified to use blue-striped flags, they would not want to provoke these four mercenary regiments if they could, especially the red flags. Scorpion Mercenaries.

Although the size of this mercenary group is only 5,000, it is a mercenary group that is very good at field combat and poisoning, especially in how to weaken the enemy's strength and combat power.

In contrast, the members of the Night Charm Mercenary Corps are particularly good at assassination and night combat skills. Especially in places such as jungles and mountains, they can even set up traps all over the mountains and fields, completely changing the advantages of the terrain, and completely controlling the terrain in their hands.

As for the Bear Mercenary Group and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, the combat styles of these two mercenary groups are quite similar to Alfred's Thunder Lion. Especially the bear mercenary group, they have rarely lost in wars with a scale of less than 10,000 people, but their death rate is astonishingly high, so the employment they accept usually has extremely high remuneration, and every attack is done well. Mental preparation for annihilation. Relatively speaking, the wild wolf mercenary group also has a scale of 10,000 people, but what they are best at is the wolf pack tactics of bullying the few, especially in pursuit.

At this time, these four mercenary regiments with their own characteristics, together with the other two mercenary regiments with a size of 5,000 people, attacked a regular army that had been poisoned at night. advantage. But despite this, judging from the actions of these mercenary regiments, they still did not relax in the slightest. They all obeyed the tactical experience of mercenaries.

Caution after prudence.

The first batch of dozens of mercenary teams that sneaked into the camp quickly dispersed. At this time, the second batch of mercenary regiments sneaked in, and then the third batch.

These three batches of mercenary regiments have a total of 2,000 people, and they are responsible for dealing with those soldiers who are not affected by the poisoning.

This is an assassination night raid plan.

Although there will definitely be resistance, if you are careful enough, you can eliminate the last batch of enemies in this camp that still have resistance before the soldiers of the Fourth Darbion Army can fully react.

Yade's idea is indeed correct. Solving the officers of an army can indeed paralyze the combat effectiveness of an army and cause it to cause chaos. But in the same way, if you can solve all the soldiers in an army, then having officers in the air is also worthless.

According to Qi Lian's temporarily revised battle plan, the soldiers of the Fourth Dabiang Army Corps are obviously still useful. So if possible, of course, we should keep these soldiers as much as possible. As for the middle and upper-level officers and generals, they are the most threatening existence, so they are not in Qi Lian's plan.

The sound of leather being torn by swords and swords resounded slightly in the camp.

Although it is not very strong, it is enough to attract the attention of some people.

Immediately afterwards, the smell of blood also began to permeate the camp.

At this time, even the heads of the six mercenary regiments standing outside the camp could smell the pungent smell of blood in addition to the damp moisture in the air. How could the officer not smell it?

Faintly, the sound of weapons colliding from the barracks rang out one after another, accompanied by high-pitched and hasty shouts.

"Hey, is it really necessary to fight hard in the end?" Ye Mei hired 『To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to ◤First ◢ to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
