Pu'er came back, and the scouting teams that explored the outskirts of the canyon suffered very slight losses, but the old 3 scouting teams trained by Pu'er in the early stage only returned with 16 people, more than half of them lost.

However, this time it can be said that it is a face-to-face investigation, and the survival ratio is already considered very good.

Without the slightest delay, Pu'er rode Kevin directly into the command tent, jumped onto the map suspended in the air, marked the coordinates with the cat's claw, and quickly told everything he had found out.

After the narration, Pu'er looked at Neo.

Neo nodded.

Then, when Pu'er was about to jump back onto the dog's back, he froze for a moment, and looked at Karen again.

Karen nodded too.

"Phew... I'm exhausted, meow. I took the stupid dog to rest, if Philomena comes back, remember to tell me."

Karen said, "Okay, you rest."

"Go, stupid dog!"

There are not too many words, and there is no warmth of greetings. This is a military camp, not at home. Pu'er is not at all hypocritical at this time. After all, the basic qualities of an old explorer are here.

Karen temporarily put aside his worries about Philomena, walked to the map, and watched Neo make new additions to the marks left by Pu'er.

Pu'er just left the points he detected, while Neo made "completions" from the perspective of the opposing commander based on the topographical map.

This is like a game of finding rules, deducing the layout of fortifications in a larger area according to the known density and layout orientation.

Soon, dense marks appeared on the topographic map in Karen's vision, and each mark point could be understood as a trap or a bunker.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"Maybe it's not so dense." Neo put the cigarette in front of his nose and sniffed it. "Perhaps, the other party's construction period may be too late, but we can't take such a chance."

"Um."

"During the confrontation between light and order, the Earth God Sect was on the side of order. At that time, the trend in the entire church circle was to hope that light could die, just like everyone now hopes that order can die.

Therefore, I have fought with the Earth God Sect on some agents or local battlefields covered with skins. The conclusion of my experience after the fight is that we must not let the group of rats find a suitable place to drill holes.

But it is meaningless to say these now. Looking at these marks, I believe that there should be densely packed tunnels under the entire boundary of the Chia Grand Canyon. "

Karen said: "Then our magic crystal cannon will be very difficult to use."

"Yes, their holes are very deep. Moreover, these underground fortifications are connected to each other. In this, the opponent can quickly maneuver and mobilize, form timely and effective support, and form forces against us on local small battlefields. Advantage.

But its advantage is also its disadvantage. If we can find out the location of its headquarters and destroy its command system, then the enemies in these caves can only fight on their own, and we will concentrate our superior forces to eat them one by one. . "

Having said that, Neo specifically looked at Karen and asked, "How do you find their headquarters?"

Karen replied: "Put a feint and force them to react."

Neo nodded: "But still pay attention..."

Karen continued: "Be careful that the other party may deliberately create a fake headquarters to confuse us. Moreover, the mouse's nest can be moved at any time."

"Hehe." Neo laughed, "It feels like you're getting more and more into the mood."

Karen shook his head: "In general, the generals before defeat in an advantageous situation will generally feel good about themselves."

"You are stealing my lines. You have deprived a teacher of teaching students to be careful not to be careless during exams."

"I'm very sorry."

"Apologize after this battle is over. Since the opponent is already making holes and preparing to defend with peace of mind, it proves that the opponent's strength arrangement here is not much, and there is no possibility of taking the initiative to double-team the head.

Muli, the messenger army set off immediately and headed for the Chia Grand Canyon at the fastest speed. "

…

"puff!"

The edge of the Nightmare Blade pierced the priest's chest in front of him, but at the next moment, the priest's chest split open, and three pythons rushed out.

Philomena flipped her wrist, the blade cut upwards and cut off the three pythons directly, but the snake head continued to fly towards Philomena with inertia, a black barrier appeared in front of Philomena, and the flames of order Incinerate its parcel promptly.

However, a group of emerald green poisonous mist overflowed from the fire of order, penetrated into the barrier at an extremely fast speed, and bloomed strangely like a flower.

Philomena quickly retreated, but the right arm used to hold the knife was still affected. Looking down, she found that dense blisters had appeared on her arm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Philomena switched to holding the knife in her left hand, and the edge of the knife cut down from the erosion on her right arm, peeling off this piece of arm flesh.

Immediately afterwards, she spread her right hand, and the flames of the Fire of Order appeared, placing it on the wound for burning.

This process was undoubtedly extremely painful, but Philomena didn't even show any expression of patience, except for her face turning slightly pale and dripping with cold sweat.

In this world, the only person who can really arouse her emotional fear is Karen;

This is the "childhood shadow" caused by Karen's organization to isolate and suppress her when she first left home to participate in the selection.

Besides, even if Mrs. Tang Li often beat her up, she wasn't afraid.

Right now, the priest is dead, but the toxin he tried to use to kill him before he died is very overbearing, and it has a strong resistance to the fire of order, which means that Philomena needs to continue to burn Wound yourself for a long time.

Finally, guessing that it should be almost the same, Philomena withdrew the Fire of Order, took out a bottle of antidote and drank it.

After doing this, not only the location of the wound, but her entire right arm was like a low-quality brick that had just been thrown into a kiln and fired.

But it doesn't matter, this kind of injury can be cured by military doctors no matter how complicated it is, the most difficult thing is that the toxin invades the body and even infects the soul.

She stood up, picked up the knife with her right hand, and after trying to swing it a few times, Philomena switched to holding the knife with her left hand.

She is a little confused now. Originally, relying on the noise from Pu'er, she wanted to detour back to report the military situation as quickly as possible, but her detour made her walk more and more sideways, not because of the lack of direction, but because Yes there seem to be eyes everywhere.

Even if she has been careful to avoid it, she will still be caught by a certain eye. In order to prevent the scene of being trapped by the enchantment from happening again, she can only keep going around in circles in this area. That's two days.

As the nominal battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, she has seriously dereliction of duty.

Now, she can only pray that Pu'er and Kevin can get out of the way and pass on the general situation.

After disposing of the priest's body, Philomena found a rock crevice and got in. She needs to rest now.

With great vigilance, she fell asleep.

When the genius was just getting bright, she was awakened by the glare of the sun, looked up at the sky, and found that there were many more suns densely packed in the sky.

Her pupils shrank suddenly,

No,

This is not the sun,

This is a volley of magic crystal cannons!

…

The Whip of Order Legion, which no longer pursues group synchronization, quickly arrived at its target location this time, the outer edge of the Chia Grand Canyon, relying on its high-configuration carrying capacity.

After quickly completing the establishment of the camp and the construction of the defense system, the attack on the Chia Grand Canyon began in the early morning of the next day.

If this is considered an attack... because no matter whether you use the magic eye telescope or the Falcon Knight's aerial detection, you can't see the enemy at all in a large area in front of you.

However, the legion still organized the army formation with a very rigorous attitude in accordance with the usual training method.

Little Connor turned into a bone dragon and carried Karen and Neo into the air. Beside the bone dragon, more than two hundred hawks and the knights on their backs were also circling.

It was windy, but Neo was used to it.

Perhaps this altitude reminded him of something, so his emotions began to become aroused.

At this time, the golden-armored dragon turtle dragged a pair of magic crystal cannons into the position. After a series of operational preparations, following the instructions from Murray below, five hundred magic crystal cannons began to launch a fierce bombardment at the Grand Canyon area.

One round, two rounds, three rounds... until the eighth round of salvo, there was still no sign of stopping.

From Karen's point of view, if the terrain of the Grand Canyon in front is the wrinkled face of the old man, then now, the old man's face is full of pimples.

However, these bombardments are meaningless, although it does not rule out the possibility that some unlucky guy hiding underground will be crushed to death by the lamp that fell from the top of his head due to the shock.

Karen asked Neo, "Should we continue the shelling?"

Neo: "Why not? Remember, Karen, in the future when facing complex and intricate battlefield situations, you only need to remember one thing. When you come up, bombard it for 12 rounds first."

"But you and I both know clearly that this kind of bombardment can't pose any threat to the defenders. Moreover, 8 rounds of bombardment have passed, and they still haven't responded at all."

Neo said: "We are a new army, shelling before the battle can boost our morale and courage."

Karen suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

After 12 rounds of shelling, the shell crystals consumed by the 500 magic crystal cannons, if converted into coupons, are already a terrifying amount.

Religious wars and secular wars have formed a unity on this point, as soon as the cannon is fired, expenditure is a bottomless pit.

Karen thought to himself: If the whipman knows that he set off 12 rounds of fireworks just to boost morale... I am afraid that he will be so distressed that he will not smoke a cigar.

The Falcon Knight was the first to dispatch to cover the airspace above the canyon.

Little Kangna saw the "birds" around her fly by, and she also swayed her dragon body a little bit. Obviously, she also wanted to follow and play.

Karen could only comfort her, "Good boy, we'll just stay here."

At present, it is not clear whether the opponent has anti-aircraft weapons. However, although the opponent focuses their defense on the ground, it should still have the basic configuration that a legion should have.

Those falcon knights hovering in the air, the opponent may let it go and continue to hide himself; but if he sees a bone dragon flying above his head... Karen feels that if he is the commander of the opponent, he will definitely expose some positions and try to bombard it. down.

The sky has been arranged, and the ground army below has also begun to advance.

It's just that the size of the legion has been significantly reduced this time, because the cavalry wearing armor and riding undead horses did not go to protect the two wings. Magicians, archers, knives and axemen, etc., should have extremely strong attack power. The team did not join either, they all stayed where they were.

The ones who really moved forward were only the shield-hands phalanx, the formation mage phalanx, the priest phalanx, and thirty giants who had turned into giants and carried large packages;

The shield-hand phalanx formed the tightest defensive posture, and the formation masters adjusted it, imposing layers of temporary defensive formations, and the priests were constantly casting large-scale blessing spells to bless the shield-hands.

They were there to explore the way, or to be more precise, to step on mines. Naturally, they could do whatever they wanted to be strong, and minimize the losses as much as possible.

Ventura, who has become a giant, holds a huge shield in his left hand and a huge mace in his right hand. While commanding the shield soldiers to advance, he roared:

"Pay attention to your feet, pay attention to your surroundings, even if a surprise attack occurs, you must maintain your formation!"

Dali Wenluo was wearing armor and holding a shield, and followed Ventura. Earl Recar came early, and now he is the commander of a cavalry battalion. Dali Wenluo just arrived, so he had to go to Ventura first. Pull here as an adjutant.

The entire army formation was walking in neat steps and moving very fast, just advancing all the way, but when the army formation was about to enter the core area of ​​the Grand Canyon, the battlefield was still "quiet", which made the legion soldiers have to wonder whether their opponents were fighting or not. really exists.

Neo said: "Oh, it seems that the other party has no intention of being fooled."

Karen said with a smile: "If you put an iron bucket in front of it, they will definitely not lift the lid to bite."

The opponent's tactical intention is very simple, you can run around on top of my head, but you'd better stay in formation and not relax, otherwise you will give me a chance.

For Karen and Neo, it is meaningless to only occupy the surface. If the rats below are not dealt with, is it possible that they still want to be neighbors with each other here?

"The opponent still has brains." Neo licked his lips. "But as the attacker, we can always take more initiative. If the mice don't come up, we force them to come up."

Below, Ventura raised the mace in his hand: "Stop moving forward!"

"Crack! Crack!"

The shield soldier quickly stood still, and pierced the ground with the shield in his hand. Immediately, a huge black shield phantom appeared horizontally above the army formation, slowly descending, and finally covered the entire army formation, forming a layer of black barrier protection.

Battalion Commander Eisen issued an order: "The altar is ready!"

The formation masters immediately dispersed, and began to arrange the formation altars on the spot. The materials were all brought with them. With so many people, they had been practiced many times before, so soon, 12 formation altars were placed in the center of the formation. laid out.

The effect of this kind of formation altar is that it is convenient for formation mages to form a joint force and improve efficiency; second, it is convenient to control the layout and operation of large formations.

The large size here does not refer to difficulty, but pure scale, just like a crane on a construction site.

Eisen said to his wife and his adjutant Kaixi, "Let the giant unload."

"yes."

Kathy immediately sent out the signal.

This couple may have been separated for too long, so after entering the military camp together, instead of being "sentimental", they are very familiar with and adapt to this kind of superior-subordinate relationship.

Outerly, among the thirty giants who had been advancing with the army formation, three of them opened the packages carried on their shoulders, and immediately, a large amount of construction sandstone poured down.

These sandstones are local materials, but they have been sacrificed by the formation masters. At the same time, some magic materials are added in proportion to make them easier to be drawn by the formation layout.

The 12 formation altars began to operate, and the pouring sandstone seemed to be being guided by a pair of invisible hands, allowing them to accumulate and solidify in a specific area obediently and docilely.

Immediately afterwards, three more giants opened the package, and more sandstone continued to fall.

If it was not conspicuous enough at the beginning, then as the amount of sandstone continued to increase and the prototype continued to appear, the purpose of doing so was already obvious...

"Hehehe." Neo laughed, "Aren't you shrinking and can't come out, okay, then I will build a city on top of your heads!"

Obviously, it is impossible for the defenders below to watch the Legion of Order build a castle above their heads, which will directly change the environmental situation of this battlefield.

If the opponent can build one, they can build a second, and then a third... Build more, and you can lock all the main paths in the canyon area, and then you can play whack-a-mole at leisure.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Arc light beams appeared around the position of the army formation. The sound of cannons, the sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air, and the roar of spells all attacked the army formation. However, the defense of the army formation was tight and solid, and all these attacks were blocked. outside, as if scratching an itch.

The giants on the periphery held their heads and squatted down. Their bodies were immediately covered with a layer of hoarfrost for self-protection. The huge female priest above the army array also blessed them and included them in the scope of their blessings .

The enemy's counterattack by lifting the cover suddenly was very frequent, but it didn't have much practical effect.

"Oh shit!"

Neo suddenly cursed, the smile on his face disappeared, and turned gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Karen asked.

"If I were the opponent's commander, since I have lifted so many covers, I must gain value. Even if I can't break through the defense of the army for the time being, I will not hesitate to send death squads to kill those giants.

But they didn't, which means they have other, more effective means. "

In the army formation, the sapling in Dali Wenluo's hand began to sway. He seemed to realize something, and immediately stabbed the sapling into the ground. Immediately, the sapling swayed even more.

Lines of strong breath of life are gathering here from all directions!

Daliwen immediately shouted to Ventura in front of him: "There is something coming out from below!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

There was a loud noise, the ground continued to crack, and huge vines grew rapidly, turning this area into a primeval forest in an instant.

Huge vines kept hitting the army formation, causing the originally indestructible army formation to tremble. There were even breaches in some places, and the shield soldiers were blown away and engulfed;

The giants who were outside the army were **** with their hands and feet one by one, and they were overturned to the ground, causing a series of violent shocks.

The soldiers who were carried away were quickly squeezed into a blood mist by the vines, and some giants who fell to the ground were also pierced by the vines and strangled.

Ventura shouted: "Don't mess up, stabilize the formation, and fill the gap!"

The gap was quickly filled, and Mr. Eisen also stopped the process of building the city, and immediately led his men to strengthen the defensive formation.

The giants on the outside were also ordered. Except for those whose bodies had been pierced, the rest of the giants shrank back to the size of ordinary people and ran towards the army formation. A small gap was opened on the side of the army formation to let them in. .

Although they suffered some losses, the situation in the military formation has stabilized. However, the military formation lacks effective means of counterattack and can only choose to retreat backwards in an orderly manner.

Strictly speaking, this pathfinding operation was considered a failure, because the opponent obviously still had a lot of reservations and restraint, and did not lift the cover.

Neo said, "Oh, God of Life."

Karen said solemnly: "The two defensive opponents you don't want to meet the most have joined together."

"Aw, yeah, it's such a headache... ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Neo bent down and hugged his stomach and laughed loudly ~lightnovelpub.net~ Tears flowed from his laughter.

This movement caused the little bone dragon to turn its head sideways, wanting to see if the "joyman" on its back had gone crazy.

Finally, Neo stopped laughing. He wiped the corners of his eyes, turned around and said to Karen:

"There is no need to explore the road again and again to find the location of the headquarters, because the problem becomes easier because of the combination of two difficult opponents. The mouse's nest can be moved at any time, but the tree roots cannot.

And the mouse's nest must be right next to the tree roots.

It's easier to find that tree root..."

Neo reached out and patted Karen on the shoulder, and said with emotion:

"I found that you are not suitable to be the commander of the legion, who is suitable, because you brought that cute bald head here, and the sapling in his hand is a treasure."
