Parallel Armies—The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 61 The Raid
This group of regular troops seemed to be retreating due west, and then Sofia gave instructions: "In this case, we will not pursue them. If they do not enter the battlefield to participate in the battle, our purpose will be satisfied. The next step is to head to the southwest
, ambush a formation of magicians."
"Yeah, no problem." Zate nodded.
"Let's just go straight out of the forest, right? Even if the magician's team waits in place, we still have the advantage of being hidden," Kalin said.
"According to the direction they are heading, they should be planning to enter the forest and should be close to this location. We are traveling faster than them and can ambush at this location before they arrive. As long as the magician formation continues to approach the forest, or just enters
We can all detect the forest, and we can try to conduct a raid at night." Sophia's theory still comes from map intelligence, but the current intelligence is not the latest.
"Then do we still need to divide into two teams? We can attack from both sides." Zate asked.
"We don't know the opponent's range. If possible, let's reconnoiter the arrangement of the protection personnel." Carlin thought it was best to first find out the opponent's infantry combat capabilities.
"I don't think we should divide our forces because we don't know the situation of the regular army's magician formations. If we separate, we won't be able to concentrate our strength. However, we can send a few people to investigate the situation in advance." Sophia felt that what Zate said would not work this time.
In the middle of the night, while taking a break, the four of them once again received a new picture. This time, a group of ordinary revolutionary troops and a group of cavalry on the southern line. They probably set up an ambush to replace a group of cavalry on the opposite side, but a group of regular troops
The five cavalrymen are penetrating in from the south.
On the middle line, it seems that the siege equipment destroyed part of the forest, and also destroyed the traps. At the same time, a reconnaissance team was eaten by the regular army, and the regular army on the middle line began to advance in full force.
On the northern front where the last group of people is located, first of all, a group of people caused the morale of a battalion of soldiers to plummet. They broke into pieces and began to retreat. Then, the mixed team of magicians were marching normally in the forest. Finally, there was a battalion heading north from the regular army base camp.
On the other side, only two units of the revolutionary army made position changes.
Sophia wanted to conduct a night attack, so she ordered the departure. After arriving at the location, she remembered to ask Richard about their night combat capabilities. If a night attack was carried out, would they have enough capabilities to deal with it?
Richard said that assuming a few people set the enemy's camp on fire, the fire would be enough for them to see, and the remote ones among the few might be protected by darkness.
Based on the situation in the regular army's camp that she had seen before, Sophia wanted to use the fireball technique, which she thought could ignite the enemy camp.
However, the situation of the army's camp will definitely not be such that Sophia can burn the entire camp with one spell, so it needs to be ignited in multiple locations at the same time.
If Sofia wants to light up the entire camp, she needs about twenty fires, but only half of the camp is faintly illuminated. Five fires are enough, but the disadvantage is that if the enemy evacuates, the group may not be able to detect it.
Sophia thought about it and decided not to attack at night because conditions did not allow it. However, she asked everyone to rest in advance and planned to launch a surprise attack at ten minutes after dawn to catch the integrated team on the opposite side by surprise. She took a rest after explaining the arrangement.
At dawn, the group of people woke up and lay down not far from the enemy camps on all sides. There were thirty-foot-high sentry towers at the four corners of the wooden fence. There were sixteen ordinary tents in the camp, and three high-end tents.
Some tents and one particularly high-end tent can accommodate a group of people each.
The open space where this camp is located was temporarily cut down. Without flammable materials, these fences are difficult to ignite. There is a sixty-foot open space outside the fence.
Now is a good opportunity for Nina to activate her powers in advance to enhance her physical strength, use magic and join in hand-to-hand combat before the powers dissipate.
"We are some distance away from this camp. I will help you blow open the gate and open a passage for you." Sophia's fireball technique is enough to blow open the gate. "You divide into several groups, eight to ten feet apart.
rice, so that we can take care of each other and avoid being attacked by each other's magicians at the same time. Try to move on the main road where the gate is located, so that I can directly support you through the gap in the gate."
"I'm ready," Carlin said.
"Forget it, if it's too scattered, Zate won't be able to assist everyone. You can just act together according to the usual formation." After the distribution was over, Sophia regretted it...
"Well, just follow what Sophia said." Zate's hymn buff is indeed very powerful.
"Dynefil, you are used to staying close, right? Then let's move a little further forward." Karin asked.
"Well, it's better to get closer to make the attack easier," Dinefel said.
"Dynefil, you are strong in fighting alone. I will trouble you to raid the most advanced tent when the time comes. The others will support you depending on the situation." Sofia instructed.
"No problem, just leave this to me." Dinefel nodded, but this also requires psychic assistance...
"In that case, we have to show our strength. After all, this is a camp with magicians." Richard began to instruct the brothers. "Don't be surprised by the elder sister."
"Ah, then I am also looking forward to your strength." Zate said.
[Do these people also have special moves that they haven’t used? It’s really disappointing in comparison.] Karin was secretly sad.
"You have something that is at the bottom of the box. I welcome it. After all, it is a good thing to protect ourselves and solve it as soon as possible. There should be a lot of people in the sentry tower. I will take care of it. If everything is done, I will come.
Help you." Sophia said.
"Then I will assist the large army. I will protect you all." Zate was very confident.
"Dynefil, are you used to using shields? I think this might be more suitable for you." Karin thought for a moment and handed his shield to Dinefiel.
"Thank you very much. The battle is about to begin, so I'll borrow it for now." Even if Dinefel is distracted and uses his psychic shield to control it, it won't be a big problem.
Nina cast a shield-barrier magical spell for extra protection on Karin, Zate and Sophia, and then took out the black sword from the space equipment - holding the sword upside down with its back facing outwards.
"I'll trouble you to act according to the situation." Considering that the fence is not high, if Sophia stands on a tree, she can cover the entire camp and hit the ground. The striking surface of the gap on the ground is very small. So she found a suitable one that can be stepped on smoothly.
tree, and asked teammates to help clear away the excess leaves.
After Sophia gave herself a petrified skin and gave the order, the battle officially began.
The escort rushed over a distance of sixty feet in an instant and was about to reach the gate. Nina could not keep up with them and fell fifteen feet behind. As the escort rushed past, the sound of "enemy attack!" came from the sentry tower.
There were some soldiers standing guard on the sentry tower. Carlin aimed at the load-bearing pillar of the sentry tower and fired the first shot of this raid. He aimed as much as possible at the connection between the load-bearing pillar and the tower body to increase the area of damage caused. The sentry tower in the southeast corner
One of the load-bearing pillars shattered with the sound. Ordinary firearms would definitely not be able to break the reinforced-protected load-bearing pillars, but Carlin's gun and skills were enough for him to break the load-bearing pillars. There were four load-bearing pillars in the sentry tower.
Two sentry towers may collapse if they are broken.
While the escort was rushing, Sophia finished chanting the incantation of the fireball spell. A circle of incantation belt rose from the tip of the heavy magic weapon, and a huge ball of flames blasted directly towards the door. Both sides of the door were on fire and it was already crumbling.
[I'm really alert. I noticed it as soon as I got close. And the effect is less than expected. Is this spell easily restrained by hard objects?] Seeing this situation, Sophia decided to change the sentry to another one in the future.
Tower.
The escort group suddenly opened the burning door and rushed to the tent on the north side. They howled collectively, their bodies began to grow faintly, and their exposed hair grew wildly. In just a few seconds, they became close to each other.
It's the same situation as gorillas. Of course, the weapons in their hands are now much smaller than before, making them less comfortable to use.
Zate and Dinefel were slower than Nina, and the former could barely guarantee that his hymn would cover the big men.
[Transformation ability similar to Zate?] Sofia was a little confused. After all, Zate's power comes from blood or divine magic. But these big men don't seem to be able to cast spells, nor are they demi-humans...
Carlin continued to shoot another load-bearing column of the southeast tower. The second load-bearing column was also broken, but at this time, although there was a creaking wooden shaking sound, the sentry tower did not collapse.
However, following the shouts of the sentry above, the originally shaky sentry tower collapsed due to the shift in its center of gravity. These soldiers would not be able to pose much threat to a few people for a while. After that, he also rushed towards the gate.
Sophia summoned the projection of the divine mirror, and once again released the fireball spell towards the most advanced tent. Then she tore open the pages of the magic book and released another shot.
The high-grade animal skin tent burned in the flames, and the morning breeze spread the unpleasant burning smell outward. As the last tent support pole fell down, inside was a tall woman wearing a gorgeous purple robe, stepping on
He was wearing high heels that were extremely inconvenient for walking, and he had a burning scroll in his hand. Two fireball spells barely defeated the protective spell released in the scroll.
Nina rushed into a tent and heard the sound of men being beaten. At this time, Nina and the escort were in the tent area on the south side.
The sentry tower in the northeast corner began to use poor shooting skills to attack Sophia at the farthest end. After all, there was basically no chance of attacking her from other places. The escorts directly overturned a tent and beat all the infantry inside until they were unconscious.
.
"One, two and four battalions, the whole team. The spell will make the first battalion carry the elemental absorption, the spell will make the second battalion carry the fireball spell, the spell will make the third battalion carry the element attachment." The voice of the purple-robed woman came through some kind of loudspeaker device
It came from several different directions. Then, the purple-robed woman began to chant a summoning spell.
