Chapter 448 Night Attack
"How do you know that the Kingdom of Dawn has other trump cards?" Dill asked.
"Then how are you sure they don't have any?" Bud asked, "Look, when we attacked Longya Ridge last fall, we learned that the Kingdom of Dawn army was equipped with new weapons. And during the Battle of Mantar Plains, we
It was only after the war started that we learned that the other side also had air troops and could easily defeat the Empire's 'Wind Control' troops. Aren't these lessons worthy of our heightened vigilance?"
"This..." Dill was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, the Popon Empire's understanding of the Kingdom of Dawn is seriously outdated.
Obviously a few years ago, their soldiers still generally used long spears to fight. It seemed that all of a sudden, they were all replaced by "short stick" weapons capable of long-range attacks.
With such huge changes before and after, the Popon Empire must be careful when fighting against the Dawn Kingdom.
"It's exactly what Thunder Knight said."
At this moment, Bejana said: "With the enemy in front of us, we don't have enough time to continue making magic stone soldiers. There are only so many people in this army, so we must use this trump card carefully."
"What His Majesty the Emperor said makes sense."
Dill immediately agreed with what Emperor Nicolast said, never mentioning the Thunder Knight, and the two got into a fight with each other.
In fact, in the Popon Empire, this situation is very common, and it is also tacitly approved by Bejana. The purpose is to let everyone compete with each other and make more contributions to the empire.
"Then, it's settled." Bejana made a decision on the spot. "First, send a team of thirty magic stone soldiers to the north to approach the camp of the Kingdom of Dawn army, and launch a night attack at the right time to test whether they have any other weapons.
trump card."
Having said this, Bejana turned to look at Dill.
"Blood-devouring Knight, I am going to leave this task to you to complete."
"Thanks for the trust of His Majesty the Emperor."
In response, Dill quickly touched his chest and saluted, but to everyone's surprise, he actually declined the task.
"However, this task should be carried out by the Thunder Knight. I have another request, which I hope His Majesty the Emperor can fulfill."
Hearing this, Bud looked at Dill in disbelief.
What does this guy want to do? This is a rare opportunity to atone for his sins, and he turns it away.
"oh?"
Reaching out and touching his chin, Bejana looked at Dill curiously and asked: "Blood-devouring Knight, what is your request? Tell me."
"I heard that the requirements for the Magic Stone Soldier experimental product are that there should not be a large amount of magic power in the body, the body must be strong enough, and it is best to have participated in combat training or have rich combat experience."
As he spoke, Dill showed a passionate expression and made his request.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I meet these conditions. Please allow Mr. Bannon to transform me into a magic stone soldier."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked by Dill's request. This guy actually wanted to be transformed into a magic stone soldier.
Although Cachido said before that the success rate of the experiment has increased, there is still a high probability of failure.
Once you fail, the end is death. Even if you succeed, you will lose your mind and become a ruthless, controlled killing tool.
Dill is so interested in the magic stone soldiers, he must know the consequences of accepting the transformation.
Is this guy crazy because he actually wants to be a guinea pig? Bud couldn't help but think to himself.
Kachido also suddenly became energetic. He first turned to look at Dill, and then said to Bejana: "Your Majesty the Emperor, once such an excellent experimental product is successfully transformed, it will definitely be a top-notch magic stone with a combat power that surpasses ordinary magic stone soldiers."
Soldier."
When he said this, his eyes with dark circles shone brightly, as if he couldn't wait to experiment on Dill.
Kachido doesn't care about Dill's status as one of the Three Heroes of the Empire. What's more, this is the other party's request. He will not dissuade him, and he will definitely not let go of experiments that can be done.
"Hahaha--"
After hearing Dill's request, Bejana couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then looked at Dill with appreciative eyes.
"Okay! The empire needs talents like the Blood-devouring Knights who are willing to sacrifice themselves. I will fulfill your wish."
After receiving the permission, Dill looked excited and happy, and quickly performed a standard knightly salute.
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Please rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor." Kachiduo also promised, "I will definitely live up to the Blood-Eating Knight's expectations and work hard to transform him into a powerful magic stone soldier and continue to serve the empire."
Next, Bejana ordered Bard: "Thunder Knight, the night attack mission will be left to you."
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor." Bard could only accept this task.
…
At night, in a wilderness south of Ancient Tiers, the coalition forces composed of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Council of Venora camped here to rest.
Along the way, the coalition forces advanced very smoothly to the south, encountering little resistance from the Popon Empire army. The other side seemed to have given up frontal resistance.
As the night deepens, most of the soldiers in the camp have fallen asleep in their tents. Only the sentry soldiers are still patrolling around the camp to warn of enemy intruders.
To the southwest of the military camp, there is a relatively dense forest.
Lightning Knight Bader Pnir quietly came to this grove with a team of thirty magic stone soldiers and hid behind the bushes.
Turning around, he found that all the magic stone soldiers following behind him were standing dumbfounded. He was so frightened that he quickly urged in a low voice: "Squat down quickly! Don't be exposed!"
After receiving the order, the magic stone soldier quickly crouched down.
Then, Bard carefully poked his head out and made sure that the sentry soldiers not far away did not notice the movement here, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh - it's so dangerous."
As expected, this irrational magic stone soldier is only suitable for confronting the enemy on the battlefield. He can't even hide his body, so he is completely unsuitable for night attacks.
If it weren't for the insufficient number of magic stone soldiers, Bard would not have wanted to lead them on this night attack mission. It was not elegant at all.
In this way, Bard and the team of magic stone soldiers continued to hide in the woods. The mosquito bites drove Bard almost crazy. Only the magic stone soldiers remained motionless and unaffected at all.
When the enemy's sentry soldiers began to change shifts, Bard saw the opportunity and decisively issued an order to the magic stone soldiers.
"Come on! Kill them all!"
Roar——
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic stone soldiers immediately rushed out of the bushes and attacked the enemy soldiers who were changing shifts at the entrance of the camp.
"who?!"
Noticing the appearance of the magic stone soldiers, the People's Army soldiers responded immediately.
But the speed of the magic stone soldiers was so fast that the nearest soldier just picked up his rifle, and before he could fire, he was chopped into several pieces by the wind blade swung by the enemy and died on the spot.
Other magic stone soldiers also pounced on the soldiers who were nearby, and several People's Army soldiers died in just one encounter.
boom!
The soldier behind finally fired the first shot, but the magic stone soldier who was hit by the bullet not only did not fall down, but also turned his head and looked over with his strange red eyes.
Seeing this, the soldier showed a face of disbelief.
"This, this can't be—"
Before he finished speaking, the magic stone soldier rushed to the soldier, raised a high-temperature fist burning with flames, and punched the opponent's chest.
Roar——
After a while, all the sentinel soldiers present were killed. The magic stone soldiers looked up to the sky and let out a strange roar, then rushed into the camp.
At the same time, Bud, who was hiding in the woods and secretly observing all this, also looked surprised and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
“Hiss—it’s actually so powerful.”
He had already predicted that the magic stone soldiers should be able to invade the camp.
Chapter completed!
