When charging into battle, the attached engineer corps is indeed no match for the main corps, but when it comes to infrastructure construction, they have rich experience and have long figured out a set of their own models, which fully utilize the words "quick" and "firm".
If you are stupid and clumsy in the steampunk style, no one will care.
These days, if you have something that works well, you can't pay so much attention to it.
This tactic is nicknamed the tower defense tactic by the Eternal Night Legion. Although it is a bit boring and brainless, it is really useful and can torture the enemy to death.
There are only a few who are worthy of the time-consuming and laborious tower defense tactics used by the Eternal Night Legion, and most of them abandon their villages and retreat in the face of indiscriminate bombing tactics.
This is the biggest difference between ordinary people and regular soldiers.
The latter have become tenacious during long-term military training. The more elite they are, the stronger their will is and the higher their tolerance for casualties is.
The former often rely on a moment of blood courage. When this blood courage is extinguished with blood, their fleeing speed will be astonishing, and they may even drag other people in.
This is what it means to be defeated like a mountain.
As long as they follow these defeated soldiers, they will open the gates of other cities for them.
Even so, it only took a short week for the Third Corps to join Sean and the others, and one-third of the Sandong League's territory had already fallen into the hands of the Evernight Legion.
…
Night leopard.
A hunter unique to the Andes.
The creatures in the Andis Mountains are generally larger than those in other parts of the Ashan continent. Whether they are herbivorous or carnivorous, it is said that they are not born this way. It is also related to the crazy bloodline research of the warlocks of the ancient Andis Empire.
.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and the night leopard is one of them. Even though its size is slightly smaller than the ordinary mountain leopard, it is one of the most deadly hunters in the mountains, especially at night. Once it is caught
It stares at it, and the chance of seeing the sun the next day is only one in three.
Among the big cats, the night leopard is the best at lurking and has the best patience, which forms its unique hunting method.
The night leopard either does not attack, but once it attacks, it will be fatal. If it misses a hit, it will immediately escape into the darkness and wait for the next opportunity to launch a fatal attack.
There is also a unit named Night Leopard in the Eternal Night Army.
The full name of this force is the Night Leopard Army Special Forces. Like the Eagle Eye Special Service Section and the Skull Crusher Corps, it is a special establishment of the Evernight Corps. It has a relatively independent organization. Although the scale is not large, it transcends the level and is directly affiliated with the military.
It is managed by the General Staff and is loyal to General Sean. If you want to mobilize this unit, you must get Sean's nod.
The reason why this unit is named Night Leopard means that it represents the fine tradition of Night Leopard - forbearance, perseverance, and a fatal blow.
Compared with ordinary troops, the training of this unit is harsh. The training intensity is not only several times that of ordinary soldiers, but also requires them to learn some unconventional skills, such as night fighting, lurking, water fighting, camouflage, assassination, shooting, etc. Internally
A strict elimination system is also implemented. Once one item fails to meet the standards, he will be immediately sent back to the original unit. Soldiers who experience this kind of situation will want to die.
In the Evernight Legion, ordinary soldiers are proud to join the Night Leopard.
However, the threshold for Night Leopard is very high, and most of the soldiers are excluded by just one item - they must have knight-level physical fitness, otherwise even if they arrive at the Night Leopard training camp, they will be rejected in the first round of regular tests.
Although the life of the Yongye Legion has improved a lot in the past two years, and at least the soldiers' stomachs are full, but it is far from a reasonable nutrition. The soldiers have entered a period of personal strength explosion, which is still relatively limited, except for personal efforts.
, but also requires a certain amount of personal talent. It would be quite remarkable if one of the two teams can become a knight.
Even if the Eternal Night Legion becomes richer in the future and the nutrition is more reasonable, the chance of becoming a knight will only increase by a few percentage points.
After all, sufficient food is only a basic condition, not a necessary condition.
Not to mention that people's physical conditions are naturally different, and their own efforts also have a lot to do with it. Don't think that there are no lazy and unmotivated people in the Eternal Night Legion.
When there is no pressure to survive, life becomes better and better. This kind of person is an inevitable product.
It's just that the Eternal Night Legion implements relatively strict military management, and such people don't show up very much now. However, if you want to become a knight, the training intensity of the Eternal Night Legion is not enough. You also need to work hard on your own privately.
After all, the military training of the Eternal Night Legion is for groups, and the standards set are quite broad, far from being able to squeeze one's own potential.
It has been more than half a year since the establishment of the Night Leopard Marine Special Forces. The number of members has not increased but has decreased. From the initial 200 members, they have been eliminated to less than a hundred now. There are only three special operations teams that can be organized. Each special force has
The team, including the captain and deputy captain, totaled ten people.
In other words, there are only thirty real members of the Night Leopard Marine Special Forces, and the rest are substitutes.
Those who remain after this harsh elimination mechanism are the best, the best among the best.
And the special operations team that can get the number one is naturally the NO.1 among them.
The first mission issued by the Military Staff to the Night Leopard Marine Special Operations Team naturally fell on the head of the First Night Leopard Special Operations Team.
They stayed day and night, like ghosts. It only took them three days to reach the designated location, lurking silently. Not to mention the mountain people, even many wild beasts passed by them without noticing.
their existence.
"Captain, we have been lurking here for almost a week, and there is no one. Who should we intercept and kill?" A Night Leopard soldier disguised as a bush asked the captain next to him in a weak voice.
He was within ten meters of his surveillance range, and not a single figure was visible. He was still subconsciously vigilant.
"Shut up, you are the only one who talks a lot. If you continue to talk so much, I will replace you first when we return to the camp and recite the special force code three times." The first team of the Night Leopard Marine Special Forces Team
Captain Barry is a young man who is not very tall and is full of agility at first glance.
In fact, among the selected Night Leopard soldiers, there are really not many who are tall and naive.
Special operations need to face various complex environments, and it would be impossible without some cleverness.
"Oh!" The Night Leopard soldier suddenly fell into silence, and the entire mountain ridge was once again filled with only wind-blown vegetation and the roars of beasts, birds, and insects.
This silence only lasted for less than ten minutes. The Night Leopard soldier spoke again, "Captain, I've finished reciting it silently. You haven't answered the question I just asked."
Barry wanted to jump out and slap this guy hard. He asked him to recite the Special Forces Code to remind him that during the mission, he was not allowed to speak at will, especially this kind of presumption about the mission, which was even more taboo.
.
If he hadn't been the best at using sniper crossbows among all special operations teams, he would have kicked out the guy codenamed Tanuki.
It's just that there is no perfect person in this world. Talking too much is an old habit of civet cats. I don't know how much I have suffered from it, but I can't change it. Because of this, I almost didn't get kicked out of the Night Leopard. I just used sniper skills.
His talent earned him the opportunity to stay on trial.
During the rigorous training of the Night Leopard Marine Special Forces, this problem was corrected a lot. After being locked up several times in a row, it rarely happened again.
However, after holding it in for a week, I have reached my limit. This kind of aimless and boring waiting is the most consuming of people's will. Time passes extremely slowly.
Fortunately, they have all undergone rigorous training in this area, and their endurance in this area is far higher than that of ordinary people. After waiting for a week, except for some of their own minor problems that started to break out, the overall situation was not greatly affected.
Although this is the first actual combat of the Night Leopard Team, they have rich combat experience, because they usually engage in military exercises, and they are also facing off against the specially trained Night Leopard Team in order to compete for the first place.
They don't know how to let go. They use all kinds of weird and bizarre methods in an endless stream. The two sides lurk and confront each other, move forward inch by inch, and squat for weeks on end. Things happen from time to time. It's just child's play in front of them.
Seeing that Captain Barry did not respond to him, Tanuki could only mutter to himself, "This place is too far from the third corps. It is unlikely to intercept and dispatch the messengers. After all, the battle line is so long, even if the opponent sends one or two
A messenger will not help, and it cannot be a large force. Even if we are all great knights, without a follow-up force, we are looking for death."
"I heard that the General is stationed at the medical research base. What we are stuck on is the only way to get here from the Three-hole Alliance. Is it to prevent the assassins of the Three-hole Alliance? They can't be so stupid and fall into the same trap twice, right?
?”
"Silence, someone is coming, enter the first level of alert." Barry shouted, and responded with three unique bird calls at the same time, which was lifelike.
"It's finally here." The raccoon cat's spirit was shaken, and his expression was solemn. Although his mouth was still moving, there was no sound coming out. This was an original method he created to overcome his own problems, and it was very useful.
Silently, the sniper crossbow was cocked, calibrated to the mountain, and the sniper scope was installed carefully.
This is a good thing. With this little thing, he can clearly see a rabbit three to four hundred meters away. With it, the power of the sniper crossbow is immediately increased tenfold.
This treasure, even in the Eternal Night Legion, is a scarce item. It is only equipped by the leader and above. The Night Leopards, relying on the principle of priority equipment, can only get five pieces.
For these five treasures, the three Ye Leopard teams almost beat out their brains.
Their first team relied on the superb cooperation among the team members to grab two pieces, one in the hands of the lookout and one in his hands.
Three minutes later, three figures appeared at the corner of the mountain. They were all dressed as very ordinary mountain people, carrying bows and arrows, and had seven or eight hounds running forward and backward. But anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary mountain people.
, how can people with knight-level strength be ordinary mountain people, and there are three of them as soon as they appear.
Especially the one at the front is full of energy, looking forward and looking forward, and has a special air of majesty.
Anyone with a little training can tell that this is a great knight.
There was obviously some doubt on the face of the great knight. His eyes always inadvertently swept over the hiding place of the members of the Night Leopard's first special operations team. He seemed to have discovered something, but there was really nothing there. He could only urge the two of them.
A knight follows, quickening the pace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as the great knight led the two knights away from the valley, several roars came from the mountainside on both sides, and seven or eight huge rocks left their positions at the same time, rolling down with a rumble, followed closely by
Behind them was a pile of thick logs with branches roughly cut off.
"There's a trap! Get back!"
The great knight's color suddenly changed. No wonder he had been feeling something was wrong since entering this valley. It turned out that there was something wrong with the placement of the boulders, and he didn't even think of the simplest rolling stone trap.
The knight's reaction was swift. He dragged the two attendants and ran back like crazy.
It's not that he doesn't want to rush forward, but the timing of the trap's initiator is very accurate. The rolling wood and stone trap covers a wide range, and the front occupies a large part. Even if he rushes over by himself, the chance is slim, let alone bringing two
A burden.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
The screams of hounds came from behind the great knight.
Although these hounds have been trained for a long time, they are still not good enough in the face of the vicious traps of humans. None of them are spared, and they are all broken here.
Buzz!
The moment the rolling log and stone trap was activated, the civet cat pulled the trigger without hesitation. The sniper crossbow that had been specially silenced was not very loud, and it was completely inaudible amidst the huge roar.
The thick and long crossbow arrow almost crossed the boundary of space and appeared directly in front of a knight. There was no time to reflect, and it was directly nailed to the opponent's neck, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
The civet cat's first sniper target did not choose the most powerful knight, but one of the two relatively weak knights. Not only did their reaction ability be poor, but they were now being held in the hands of the knight, and they could not help themselves.
At the same time, the civet cat also showed a good prediction. What he just predicted was not only the reaction of a knight, but also the reaction of a great knight. This is a bit scary. This is why he can become the Night Leopard's ace sniper.
The foundation of the hand.
After the knight completely evaded the wooden and stone trap, he only found two dead bodies in his hands.
Although the other squire knight was not attacked by a sniper, he was possessed by bad luck and was pierced through the chest by a broken branch brought up by a rolling log and stone. Although he was not dead, he had more air coming out and less air coming in. He could not live anymore.
"Who! Who are you? Come out! Come out!"
The great knight is going crazy. It's a very simple mission, and it's easy to capture. Why would someone set up an ambush?
He didn't even see the enemy's face, so he was left alone. Naturally, he was frightened and angry.
Who exactly is having trouble with the Three-Dong League?
Could it be other members of the Walled City Alliance? They heard something and want to interfere with it?
That’s not right!
Of the four major city lords, one was dead, one was seriously injured, and one was captured alive. Only his own city lord managed to escape. The remaining small city lords were cornered by the Eternal Night Army. They were so anxious now that they had no time to care about themselves.
What does the alliance do?
Who is it?
Why do this?
Did you encounter a strong man in the mountains and want to steal your wealth?
The great knight almost laughed at the last thought. If anyone were to rob someone in this barren mountain, they would have died of starvation long ago.
All kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through the great knight's mind, but he was not idle. He moved at high speed, looking around like an eagle's eyes, looking for the hiding place of the ambusher.
The other party is obviously good at this aspect. The great knight only found several suspicious places, but he is not sure whether there are any hidden people there. Under the current situation, the other party will obviously not give him the chance to explore them one by one.
