On the eve of the Parliament Guard Army's upcoming battle to recapture Kurast, Ocaso handed over the battle plan and various intelligence in the rain forest to Huo Huo, the commander of the Demon Slayer Army who was driving the demon army of the Jackal to the central part of the rain forest.
strange.
Since defeating the Fox Wolf troops in the ruins of Kurip, the Demon Slayer Legion, led by Hodge, has been marching towards the battlefield where Kurast Harbor is located.
Mephisto, who was almost mad at Jackal's failure, ordered Jackal to block the Demon Slayer Legion outside the Kurast harbor at all costs.
The foxwolf had no choice but to forcefully change its retreat plan and divide the remaining troops into countless small "guerrilla groups", allowing them to use the complex terrain in the rainforest to continuously harass the Demon Slayer Legion and delay their attack.
Travel speed.
He himself led three legendary evil contracters to wander around the Demon Slayer Legion, trying to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on General Hoch's headquarters.
It has to be said that Fox Wolf is indeed worthy of being an excellent and experienced legion commander. His plan did create a lot of trouble for the professionals of the Demon Slayer Legion at the beginning, and even forced Hodge to send his troops to the army at one point.
Completely retracted, it slowly advanced through the rainforest in a rather dense formation.
The occasional raids and cold arrows by the three legendary evil contracters led by Fox Wolf caused a lot of losses to the Demon Slayer Legion, which had not yet fully adapted to fighting in the rainforest. In just one day, there were at least 300 of them.
The elite professional legionnaires fell in this rain forest.
Faced with the constant harassment of the demon army, Hodge was really annoyed, and he quickly came up with a way to deal with the guerrilla tactics of the evil covenanters.
General Hoch selected the high-level assassins in the legion and asked them to disperse into several small teams to lay traps in the surrounding woods while the legion's army was marching. Then he asked the legendary Amazon Sarah to lead her tribe to play.
Taking advantage of his expertise in rainforest warfare, he set up baits and counter-traps in various jungles.
In this way, when the harassment squads of the Evil Contractors came again and prepared to play the trick of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance", many squads fell directly into the Demon Slayer Legion.
From the trap set by the Assassins and the Amazons of the Haworth Islands, he could never escape.
Hodge's counter plan once again cut off the hand that Fox Wolf stretched out. This time the loss made the already short-handed Fox Wolf's subordinates even more stretched. He had to change his plan and bring back the "guerrillas" who had suffered heavy losses.
They were integrated together at once and began to set various traps on the path of the Demon Slayer Legion.
These traps include assassin skill traps and hunter traps made of various jungle materials.
Ordinary hunter traps are of little use to professionals, but when a giant tree as thick as a three-person hug is swung towards you by vines, even high-level professionals must abide by the most basic laws of physics.
...
These piecemeal small traps and obstacles have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Demon Slayer Legion. Especially when the fox wolves specially summoned a large number of monster projections in the rainforest to hinder their progress, this delaying effect became even more obvious.
In fact, frankly speaking, the number of demon clones under Fox Wolf's current command is still much greater than that of the professionals of the Demon Slayer Legion. Because the base number is already large, even when Kurip was defeated, he was chased by the Demon Slayer Legion.
They killed a lot, but they still maintained an absolute advantage over the Demon Slayer Legion in terms of numbers.
However, the problem is that although the demon clones have a certain amount of wisdom, they will still be a mob if no one directs them. The evil covenanters under Fox Wolf have been almost killed by the surprise attack of Storm Queen Sarah in the ruins of Kurip.
, the remaining evil covenanters in hand are simply not enough to command such a large number of demon clones.
Therefore, the fox wolf was forced to have no choice but to block the sheep-headed demons, dwarfs and other demon clones in front of the demon-slayer army, purely relying on their numerical advantage to create obstacles for the demon-slayer army.
It has to be said that the effect of using demon clones to perform delaying tasks is amazing. These clones are much smarter than projections. They understand the most basic mutual cooperation and tactical linkage, so even if the soldiers of the Demon Slayer Legion have a lot of
Despite the experience in dealing with these guys, they still succeeded in delaying us for a long time.
"General Hodge, our current marching speed can be said to be as slow as a turtle crawling. If this continues, it will be impossible for us to catch up with the battle to recapture Kurast Harbor."
In the military tent, Storm Queen Sarah spoke in a calm tone to Commander Hodge, who was standing in front of the battle map and meditating.
On the map in front of him, several crimson arrows had begun to converge towards the Kurast seaport, and the location of the Demon Slayer Legion was still quite a distance away from the battlefield.
Huo Qi thought for a while, and suddenly a confident smile appeared on his face.
"If you can't catch up, then don't rush. I believe that Ocaso can successfully capture the Kurast Seaport even without my help.
Since that guy Fox Wolf is unwilling to let us go to the harbor, he shouldn't have much defense on Cui Fanke's side, right?
Since there is no meat to eat on the frontal battlefield, why don’t we just go and block Hell’s reinforcements?”
he said with a smile.
"The order goes down, the entire army changes its marching direction, and the destination changes from Kurast Seaport to Cui Fanke!"
"yes!"
An orderly soldier loudly agreed and immediately rushed out of the military tent to convey the order.
"Is it okay to go directly to Cui Fanke?" Adjutant Gene asked with some doubts.
"Don't worry, I know Ocaso. Although that barbarian looks reckless on the surface, once a war breaks out, his war instincts are not blind. Moreover, the Parliament Guard Corps is not fighting alone. Our 'allies' are also very capable.
It’s powerful!”
Hotch smiled and shook his head, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
Under Hodge's order, the Demon Slayer Legion began to change direction. They directly abandoned their original destination and began to move towards Cui Fanke's location.
In a temporary camp deep in the jungle, Fox Wolf, the commander of the demon army, immediately learned of Hodge's change of marching route.
"What do they want to do? If they go in this direction, it will be Cui Fanke? Do they want to attack Cui Fanke directly?"
The legendary mage in a blue robe, the Evil Contractor, looked at the tactical map in front of him with confusion. The arrow on the map showing the direction of the Demon Slayer Legion had just been modified - from heading straight south to heading southeast.
"Cui Fank? Of course Huo Qi thinks so, but he also needs to have the teeth to do it?"
He has only a small number of people, no logistics, and no supplies to fight Cui Fanke? He is not afraid of being choked to death?
This guy is probably thinking of fishing for shrimps when he can’t catch big fish, and he wants to intercept Cui Fanke’s reinforcements sent to Kurast Port!”
There was a strange expression on the face of the fox wolf under the green hood.
"Then what should we do? Continue to chase and intercept them?"
"Intercept them? Why? Ha... Since he wants to intercept Cui Fanke's reinforcements, let him do it. Why don't we do something bigger?"
"Um? What's the big deal?" All the legendary evil conveners looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine the guy in front of them was selling in his gourd.
"Our defeat in the Battle of Kurip happened yesterday. Even if Hodge sent a letter to the Parliament Guard Corps immediately after winning, their action would have been too fast.
The Kurast Harbor gave me an early warning message this morning that they were about to be attacked. If the Kurast survivors were not very close to the harbor, how could they have arranged the attack in such a short period of time?
What’s a good counterattack plan?”
Fox Wolf stared at the tactical map in front of him, and a playful expression slowly appeared on his face.
He stretched out a finger and gently clicked on a location on the map. Next to his finger on the map, the name "Ji Kull" was clearly marked!
