Chapter 456: Early Discovery
"correct."
Thinking of Bard's report about the enemy's trump card, Bejana reminded: "Blood-devouring Knight, according to the Thunder Knight's report, there is a dark knight in the enemy army who can easily defeat the magic stone soldiers and is very powerful. More
The important thing is that he can fly just like you, so be careful and keep an eye on this person."
"The dark knight? Is he the super strong man of the Kingdom of Morning Light?"
When he learned that there was a strong man among the enemy, Dill's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't hold back his excitement. He loved challenging strong men and was a typical fighting maniac.
"I really look forward to competing with him to test how strong I am now."
"Blood Knight."
Seeing Dill's enthusiastic expression of wanting to fight, Bejana was a little worried, and specifically warned: "You want to fight that dark knight, no problem. However, don't forget the mission I gave you.
Indulge yourself in your own interests.”
This means that after contacting the dark knight, if you find that the opponent is not strong enough, then deal with it quickly and don't deliberately delay the fight just to insult the opponent.
This is a bad habit of Deere.
Once he finds that the other party is not his opponent, he will deliberately let off steam, and then anger and humiliate the other party. Only when he is satisfied will he kill and end the fight.
If you find that the Dark Knight is very powerful and you cannot tell the winner for a while, then you should give priority to completing the task and don't get into too much entanglement with the opponent.
After all, the number of magic stone soldiers is limited, and there is no telling how long they can cause chaos.
In response, Dier solemnly stroked his chest and saluted, and responded to Bejana: "As you command, Your Majesty the Emperor."
On the surface, Dill agreed to His Majesty the Emperor's request, but in his heart he had already decided that he would definitely give the Dark Knight a good try.
After finally being transformed into a magic stone warrior, he must show his powerful strength to everyone. Is there any reason to avoid fighting?
Defeated? It doesn’t exist!
Affected by the power of the magic stone, Dill is now so confident that he is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks that he is the most perfect magic stone warrior created by Kachiduo and should be invincible in the world.
…
A few days later, Dill led the Magic Stone Soldiers to leave the imperial capital of Weisbat and head north to approach the camps of the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Council of Venora, preparing to launch a second night attack.
Since the target of the 700-man Magic Stone Soldiers was a bit large and could easily be discovered by the enemy in advance, Dill planned to split the entire army into eight teams and let the seven accompanying knights lead a team each to sneak around to the enemy.
Other locations in the camp are on standby.
Before the troops separated for action, Dill confirmed the mission content with his subordinates.
"As soon as it gets completely dark, immediately give the order to the magic stone soldiers to attack. Then you can retreat and don't worry about the magic stone soldiers. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Lord Dill." All the knights responded in unison.
Originally, the knights were already somewhat afraid of the Blood-devouring Knight, but now that Dill's appearance has changed drastically and the sense of oppression on his body has become stronger, they now dare not have any disobedient thoughts.
"Then let's start taking action." Dill finally said, "Be careful to hide yourself well and be precise in the orders you give to the magic stone soldiers. Those guys are not smart enough."
Next, the magic stone soldiers were divided into eight teams and started their own operations, sneaking into the woods and quietly approaching the enemy's camp.
However, all of this has long been detected by the stealth drone above, and all the images have been transmitted to Owen.
After receiving the message sent back by the stealth drone, Owen, who was resting in the tent in the center of the camp, opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Attention all troops, the enemy has appeared and be prepared to fight."
…
Somewhere in the dense forest, Dill was quietly advancing with a team of magic stone soldiers. Not far ahead was the enemy's camp.
At this time, the sky in the west was filled with sunset glow, and it was soon time to launch a night attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just when Dill thought everything was going well, a series of gunshots resounded across the sky from ahead.
This noise? Could it be!
Dill suddenly remembered the artillery fire attack he had suffered when he led his army to attack Longya Ridge, and he felt bad in his heart.
But before he could say anything to tell the magic stone soldiers to be on guard, a cannonball falling from the sky landed on the left side of the team and exploded instantly.
boom!!!
In an instant, sand and soil flew up, large clouds of flames and black smoke rose into the sky, and large amounts of shrapnel flew in all directions. Many magic stone soldiers, including Dill, were knocked down by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
"hateful!"
Since he felt no pain, Dill quickly got up from the ground like a normal person.
However, the armor on his body had many marks of being punctured by shrapnel, and there was a large gash on the left side of his face that was cut open by shrapnel, exposing the bones inside.
Fortunately, this was a forest, and most of the shrapnel was blocked by the trees. Otherwise, Dill might have been more seriously injured. After all, the impact point of the shell was not that far away from him.
"When did they find us?"
Dill couldn't figure out how the other party discovered them and counterattacked?
You know, Dill is now a magic stone soldier, and he has the same keen perception as the magic stone soldiers. If there are enemy patrol soldiers nearby, he should be able to detect it immediately.
Could it be a traitor?
This is the only possibility, otherwise how to explain this shelling? It can't be that the enemy is inspecting and testing new weapons, and it just hits Dill and the others? This is too ridiculous.
Like Dill, the other seven teams also suffered counterattacks from the enemy and were stunned for a while.
Looking around, there was a lot of dust in the air, which hindered Dill's vision to a certain extent, making it impossible to confirm the status of all the magic stone soldiers.
But that doesn't matter, as long as the magic stone implanted in the heart is not destroyed, the magic stone soldier will not die.
Now that he had been discovered by the opponent, it meant that the night attack plan had failed. Dill simply refused to do anything and chose to start the fight directly, decisively issuing orders to the magic stone soldiers.
"Everyone, charge forward! Kill all the enemies in front of you!"
Roar——
After receiving the order, the magic stone soldiers roared and rushed towards the enemy camp ahead, quickly rushing out of the woods.
However, what waited for them were soldiers with guns lined up in a row at the entrance of the camp, and several armored vehicles behind them.
Seeing the magic stone soldiers rushing out of the woods, the machine gunner on the armored vehicle immediately pressed the trigger, and the barrel of the gun immediately rotated, with a long tongue of flame spitting out from the front muzzle.
Chu tu tu tu——
Under the powerful firepower, the bodies of the magic stone soldiers were severely damaged by the bullets. Even if the magic stone in the heart was not destroyed, it could still hinder their progress.
If a few magic stone soldiers survived the machine gun fire and approached, the soldiers in the front row would raise their shotguns, aim at the opponent's chest, and pull the trigger.
Considering that it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to accurately shoot the heart of the magic stone soldiers with rifles, Owen chose to equip them with shotguns.
Compared with rifles, shotguns have a shorter range, but the advantage is that the number of bullets fired at one time is high, the density is high, and the lethality is strong at close range.
Just shoot the magic stone soldier once in the chest, basically one shot at a time, without needing to look twice.
