At the same time that the Blue Sword mercenary group broke into the battlefield, the Crusaders' scouts also discovered them.
"Have you located it?" In the command center, Alfred slammed the table angrily, "Have you found the red-haired mage assassin and the two female knights?"
"This time I must avenge the last time!" Alfred thought of the compensation he handed over last time, as well as some of the assets he was forced to sell off because he didn't have enough money, and he suddenly regretted so much that his heart was bleeding, "For
I'm connected to the frontline command system! I want to take command personally!"
"But..." The adjutant hesitated. The commander in front of him clearly wanted to avenge his personal revenge.
"But what? Am I not one of His Majesty's personal frontline commanders?" Alfred said displeasedly.
The adjutant was speechless upon hearing this. Although his motives were obviously problematic, as the commander of the northern front line, Alfred requested to take over the command authority within the scope of his responsibilities. From a procedural point of view, there was really no problem.
He really wants to risk his life and refuse to disobey, unless he doesn't want to do it anymore.
"Yes! Your Highness Alfred!" the adjutant said quickly.
Coming to the electronic sand table, the distribution of all Crusade squads on the front line was displayed. This is the latest batch of technologies supported by the Holy See: a digital command system that allows commanders to easily deploy troops and generals and grasp the overall situation on the battlefield.
The little red dot representing the Cyan Sword, according to the last report of the Crusader scouts, is not far north of the ruins of Olympia.
However, the scout's signal was silent after the report. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened, and the Crusaders needed to reconfirm the opponent's location as soon as possible.
"Like this! Like this!" Alfred quickly drew a route on the sand table, "And then like this! The twenty teams on the front line that I designated will all move forward according to the route I have drawn!"
"Yes!" the adjutant immediately gave the order.
In the distance, Cang Qing Sword, fighting on the battlefield, quickly noticed something was wrong.
"The frequency of enemy encounters is increasing rapidly, Captain!" Eleanor pulled out the spear from the body of the knight's retinue, turned around and said, "We must be being watched by scouts!"
"The surrounding spirits told me that there is no one spying on us nearby." Nora waved her hand, and the transparent spirits floated towards her, "On the contrary, there are several enemy teams approaching us in the distance."
"With my mental vision, I didn't detect any mental bodies nearby." Medea folded her arms and said, "But I probably know what's going on."
When she told about the spider web command system she encountered last time, the girls were shocked when they heard this.
"What! It means mobilizing a large number of enemies to surround and annihilate us, right?" Hidrifa said excitedly, "Are the Crusaders so afraid of the strength of our Blue Sword?"
This woman's way of looking at things is always so clear... Everyone ignored her speech with a tacit understanding. Eleanor said worriedly:
"If we follow what Medea said, then every time we encounter an enemy, no matter whether we get rid of the opponent in the end, we are actually exposing our position."
"If we want to sneak together to avoid encountering enemies, it will be too difficult. After all, we are a multi-person team, not a flexible single-person operation."
"It's not good to hide nearby." Mia added, "Since the other party can determine our approximate location, they will definitely search and investigate nearby. Should we separate our troops?"
Divide the troops, divide the team into multiple parts, and break them into parts to try to infiltrate out of the enemy's encirclement network.
"Is it really useful to divide the troops?" Eleanor questioned, "You must know that the number of enemies is far greater than ours. Even if the troops are separated to the greatest extent, for the enemy commander, it is just a need to determine
The positions have become nine."
"What's more, the combat strength of a single person is far weaker than that of a team. Unless you don't engage with the enemy throughout the whole process, the risk of death in battle will be greatly increased once you encounter the enemy."
"Can't we set up an ambush in reverse?" Sheila asked thoughtfully, "deliberately expose our position, and then use this to set up an ambush, luring the enemy to take the bait one after another, and surround and annihilate it?"
"The enemy's commander is not a fool, and he will soon realize that something is wrong." Eleanor said, "What if he mobilizes a large number of troops? Encirclement warfare can only be powerful when there is an advantage in numbers."
"I'd like to correct you, it's the local numerical advantage." Asker said, "There's no need to set up an ambush. We just need to maintain a guerrilla state and continue to eat small groups of enemy troops."
"Then if the commander mobilizes a large number of troops..."
"Then he won't be able to maintain such a dispersed large-scale search network." Ask said calmly, "Isn't it just right for us to escape from the encirclement?"
Eleanor was stunned for a moment and then began to ponder.
In other words, fight if you can, and run if you can't? This tactic seems fine, but why does it feel vulgar?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Asker made the final decision: "Then let's do it like this!"
——————
A squad of knights is approaching the designated location.
Four knights holding spears and shields and eight knights holding rifles carefully walked through the nearby collapsed ruins and arrived at the coordinate destination given by their superiors.
"No enemy found." The knight said through the communicator.
"Search the area." Another knight issued an order, and the knight's followers began to investigate.
Suddenly gunfire rang out, and a knight's retinue fell down.
"Sniper!" the knights roared, and all the followers hurriedly hid behind the power armor knights, and two more followers fell down in the process.
Then everyone saw on the road ahead, a knight holding a gun and shield slowly walking out, followed by a warrior holding two battle axes.
"Prepare to charge, I will cover you." Eleanor and Hidliba said.
"Okay." Hidrifa nodded.
The knights put up their large shields and defended on the spot, trying to intercept the bullets that the snipers might fire from any direction. The servants carefully leaned out from the side of the large shields and started shooting wildly in the direction of Eleanor.
The bullets crackled on the shield. Eleanor, who was already at level 3, could still hold on to the shield. Hilderie, who was standing behind, could withstand the damage from the bullets.
There was another long and low scream, so obvious in the rattling of the assault rifle. The bullet from the sniper rifle passed through the gap between the two large shields and shot through the neck of a knight's guard.
"Hide better!" A certain knight who was covered in blood yelled.
Although we are using explosion-proof and ballistic shields supported by the Holy See, at least when you are shooting, you have to hide behind the shield, right? What's the point of exposing your body to shoot at the opponent's sniper!
The knight's retinues were also speechless. They were all well hidden. It was obvious that the opponent's sniper's marksmanship was too accurate, right?
However, there was no point in arguing at this time. The servants could only risk their heads and shoot again, trying to block Eleanor's charge from the opposite side. As a result, another sniper bullet blew open the head of a knight's servant.
Eleanor had already rushed in front of her, and a Crusader knight thrust his spear straight at her, but was blocked by the latter with his shield.
Behind her, Sidrifa took advantage of the situation and jumped up. The other three Crusader knights crossed their spears and rushed upward, trying to assassinate the female warrior in the air.
Hildrifa swung her two axes in the air, but she used Asker's Shadow Eagle's Plunder, cutting off all the spear points that were stabbed, and then fell into the ranks of the three knights' retinues.
The subordinates had already raised their guns and were about to shoot the female warrior in the face, when they saw someone suddenly rush out from the opponent's shadow.
