The night is as cool as water.

Unlike last night, which was as dark as ink, tonight, the sky is cloudless.

The bright moonlight poured down.

In order to prevent the Chang'an Army from crossing the river overnight and staging another sneak attack, the coalition command headquarters arranged for five thousand soldiers to set up checkpoints along the banks of the Mero River.

In the evening, they lit a blazing bonfire and closely watched every move on the other side of the river.

About five o'clock in the morning.

This is the moment when the patrolling soldiers are most trapped and relaxed.

An octopus monster suddenly stretched out its huge arms and legs from the Mero River, turning them into life-threatening ropes. With a swish, in the blink of an eye, the patrol soldiers on the shore were swept into the river.

Before the others could react, they were also entangled by another arm and leg.

The eight-clawed octopus monster used all his strength to defeat a group of patrolling soldiers in an instant.

Follow.

The octopus monster stretched its arms and legs across the Meruo River to build a natural bridge.

"superior!"

The heavy cavalry who had been lurking on the other side of the river in the early morning led their horses through the Octopus Bridge, crossed the Mero River as quickly as possible, and disappeared into the wilderness.

Similar scenario.

Performed in five other locations simultaneously.

With the assistance of the six-headed octopus monster headed by Paul, the reassembled Tiger Brigade, Leopard Tao Brigade and Tiger Brigade soldiers crossed the Mero River again.

Divide into six shares.

They all entered Monroe County across the river.

The scene that unfolded next was almost identical to the surprise attack on the three counties yesterday.

The difference is.

In the previous round, three heavy cavalry brigades attacked three counties at the same time, but now they attacked Monroe County in a concentrated manner.

The greater the strength, the faster the action will naturally be.

After the three heavy cavalry brigades gathered on the other side of the Meiruo River, they transformed into more than a hundred cavalry squads based on battalions and teams, and quickly dispersed.

Head to their respective attack destinations.

Killing.

Once again!

………

Lark Town.

"General, something big happened!"

Rogers was woken up again by a rapid knock on the door.

"What's going on?"

When he opened the door and saw Staff Officer Mike's panicked expression, Rogers' heart sank again.

Why can't people have a peaceful sleep?

"The intelligence personnel we arranged at the Folding City Forum urgently reported that just now, another Monroe County territory was attacked, and the lord was resurrected in Folding City."

"Again?"

Rogers looked gloomy, "Didn't you arrange for people to patrol the river bank?"

"There are patrols."

Mike explained: "After the incident happened, I contacted the patrol force as soon as possible and asked the patrol force to confirm the situation."

"We just reported that at least six patrol teams have disappeared."

"What's even more strange is that when the patrol team went to the site of the incident, they saw neither abandoned boats nor pontoons, and they couldn't even find the bodies of the patrol team."

"Then how did the enemy cross the river? Did they fly over?"

Faced with such a strange scene, Rogers couldn't help but complain and felt panicked.

"have no idea."

Seriously speaking, based on the lessons learned last time, the coalition staff responded quickly enough this time.

In the previous episode, we only reacted when all three counties were about to be destroyed.

this time.

The lord of Monroe County had just been attacked, and the general staff immediately launched an investigation.

But still found nothing.

"General, what should we do now?"

In the military intelligence room, the generals and the governor Duke were also urgently awakened again.

"Can you determine the scale of the attack on the enemy?"

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, any decision Rogers makes is based on reliable intelligence.

"Not yet."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mike's face, "However, judging from the footprints left at the scene, the scale must be quite large."

It happened suddenly.

The intelligence obtained by the General Staff was also very little.

"Order the main force stationed on the Gray Water River to break camp immediately and return to Lark Town as soon as safety is ensured." Faced with a cloud of fog, Rogers could only choose a conservative approach.

It's called ensuring safety.

They were also worried that if the main force retreated hastily, the Chang'an army on the other side of the river would seize the opportunity.

An organization is not good.

A so-called strategic retreat may turn into a major rout.

The generals were silent.

By issuing such an order, Rogers was obviously preparing to withdraw from Monroe County.

There is no other way.

The current situation is unclear, so conserving our strength is the best policy.

"Notify the lords in Monroe County again. If that doesn't work, you can urgently send the population and supplies to other territories. Don't leave anything behind for Chang'an." Rogers added.

"It's so early, I'm afraid they haven't gotten up yet and won't see the news," Mike reminded.

"Then send messengers to notify each family one by one. You will personally inform the main force to ensure the safety of the retreat." Rogers looked determined.

"I should go to the main force. Mike will be more useful if he stays at the command post."

However, Duke, the governor, took the initiative to ask for help.

"That's fine!"

Rogers took a deep look at Duke and at the same time ordered: "Instruct the Lark Town headquarters to enter a state of war immediately. Also, within half an hour, I will get detailed information on the enemy attack."

The 90,000 coalition forces were divided into three parts. The 50,000 main force was stationed on the banks of the Gray Water River, threatening Chang'an City; the 35,000 reserve force was stationed around Lac Town.

The remaining five thousand are the patrol force.

No matter what tricks Chang'an plays this time, with 90,000 troops in hand, Luo Gesi will not panic.

Just in case.

You can also quickly escape Monroe County by mail.

"yes!"

Mike felt deeply the great responsibility and went to deploy it himself.

………

"Hey, you want to send a letter? No way!"

Chang'an, however, took this into consideration early and sent a hundred Feilian warriors in advance to lurk around Lak Town to intercept the messengers leaving Lak Town.

Not long ago.

Tang Jing spent another 15,000 kill points and summoned 150 Feilian soldiers in one go, ensuring that each division had a directly affiliated Feilian investigation team.

The Guards Division even established a fully-staffed Feilian reconnaissance team.

responsible for this mission.
