Steel steam and flame

In essence, the organization will not resist at all, and will choose to evacuate directly regardless of the situation. Every team knows its position very well, and there will not be as fast and continuous support from the empire behind them. Being slowed down means death.

Not long after the first pursuit battle began, roughly the same things began to happen in different places near the spreading wildfire. Direct retreat is the main theme, but there are also some teams that will actively resist. These teams still basically have the ability to judge the situation.

A faint crackling sound came from the darkness behind him, and a brighter dark red could already be seen in the night sky cut into pieces by the woods above his head. Even if there is no wind, the dry air in summer can still allow fires to rise smoothly and expand rapidly.

We don't know where the enemy will be lurking in this mountain range, and the time it will take to get to the edge of the wildfire is unknown. Cassia amplified the range of the sound wave pulse to four thousand meters and observed everything around her at any time. The flames spread far faster than them. Although by about 5:30, the fire behind them almost turned into a huge twisted ring deeply embedded in the gray night sky, but at that time they were far away from the original ignition point. It is also more than ten kilometers away.

Seeing that the fire was still spreading and no enemy came to stop it, Cassia and the others also slowed down at this time of night and dawn. Worried that the enemy would deliberately allow the fire to spread, he chose to set up a defense line around him and organize his team to set up an ambush. Mountain terrain, trees, rocks and some rolling boulders will all affect Cassia's judgment of sonic pulses. Enemies who remain crouching in this environment are indeed the biggest drawback of sonic pulse detection. In essence, Cassia's detection using sound wave pulses is still a fast comparison between countless photos.

Until the sky turns completely white, and the fiery red sun rises slowly. The thick gray-black smoke became like rain clouds, flowing slowly with the wind at high altitude. The enemy has not made any movement up to this moment. He carefully observes the mountain fire from a distance, and the spread of the fire has not been stopped in any way.

Cassia noticed something was wrong. When the frequency of the sound waves became higher, her own perception also spread hundreds of meters around. In this mountain range, the enemy has a high probability of choosing the situation that Cassia was worried about not long ago. The appearance of wildfires allows the enemy to roughly calculate the range of their team's forward speed. As long as they follow a maximum time, they can deploy their manpower in many places in advance.

We can't go any further, Cassia thought subconsciously. Walking in front of the team, he forced Nighthawk and others to stop, and asked Owl to contact the other three teams immediately. Then he needed to close the distance between the four teams to maintain the best speed of support and mutual defense.

I glanced at the sky through the gaps in the leaves. It was all deep blue, without any trace of rain clouds. Hopefully there will be a huge rainstorm these days, and the sound of wind and rain will be the best protection for all teams. The continuous scorching sun will only make the dead leaves on the ground drier, and every step will bring a "squeaking" sound.

The communication within the team is a local area radio network. The owl softly conveyed Cassia's meaning, but the other three teams still had no intention of stopping immediately. Feeling impatient, they chose to walk forward for a hundred or two hundred meters before finally stopping in place as if their buffering power had been exhausted.

The other three teams asked what happened on the communication channel. This was the time to move forward. The owl looked at Cassia and handed over the communicator. Cassia sighed, but before taking over the communicator, in the high-frequency sound wave pulse, something like a branch was moving slowly under the calm wind, and there were more than one place, separated by a distance of seven or eight hundred meters.

The air in the lungs was instantly squeezed out by Cassia. Before the "alert" was shouted, the owl was kicked away by Cassia. Nighthawk and Isa seemed to be relying on the passive instinct of their bodies. After reacting, he subconsciously evacuated behind the nearest tree.

Immediately, Isha, who had performed many missions in the Flame Alliance border forest, instantly knew what she needed to do next. She took out the high-explosive gunpowder she carried, sprayed it in an arc, and ignited it the next moment. A flame suddenly rose, but was about to be extinguished the next moment. Cassia, who jumped away at this moment, immediately added a handful of dead leaves picked up from the ground, barely adding a little flame to continue burning.

"Swish..." Almost at the same time, the enemy pressed the trigger, and several heavy sniper rifle bullets shot from a distance, directly tearing apart all the tree branches blocking it along the way, and exploded into pieces mixed with rock fragments. of soil.

The accuracy was not as accurate as Cassia imagined. Each bullet could not even be said to have passed directly by him. The nearest one was close to one and a half meters away from him. Tearing the tree trunks apart along the way still changed the trajectory a bit.

The owl that got up didn't care that the position where he was standing was not hit by a bullet just now. He was in no mood to care about it at the moment. He, Nighthawk and others followed Isa's example, closing the distance and immediately tearing open the can of high explosives, speeding up the smooth rise of a wall of fire.

After keeping a small distance from the fire wall to make sure that they could feel the heat of the flames, they shrank as much as possible and hid behind the trees. The other three teams started to raise flames at this moment, and their speed and rhythm were all a little slower. The close distance made them all fall within the enemy's temperature sensing range. It's just that the woods are too restrictive for sniper rifles. Even if they can aim at the target, the deviation of the ballistic line will make their hit rate very small. Less than two people died, which is good news. In the open area, losing half of the number in the short period of time is the best result.

The frequency of the sound wave pulse increased by another level, and Cassia walked around behind the ignited flames, signaling Isa and the others to follow her and evacuate immediately.

"The enemy will not be stupid enough to ambush us in this environment with just a few sniper rifles. This is just a deterrent. The purpose is to keep us out for as long as possible because of the threat posed by these hugely powerful bullets. Stay where you are and don't dare to act rashly to avoid being hit by irregular bullets." Within the six-kilometer sound wave range, Cassia only observed a team of no more than thirty people nearly a kilometer ahead. But the information must have reached other teams around it. This team just wants to delay the arrival of support.

The distance of six thousand meters can be covered in only about ten minutes. Cassia asked the owl to call back the other three teams and evacuate together, while calculating how far he could run during this time. As long as they are not surrounded, Cassia can isolate the enemy and allow Isa and the others to keep a safe distance from the enemy.
