Chapter 496: The line of defense as strong as an iron barrel
Lin Ze looked at the map on the coffee table intently.
He noticed that seven additional locations were marked on the map with special symbols that were deepened in color.
Each location is not far from each other, forming a crooked line that almost spans the entire battlefield.
Firmly blocking the direction leading to the space crack.
After looking at it for a moment, Lin Ze pointed to these seven locations and asked:
"What's this?"
Kong Tong took a look and said solemnly:
"Those are seven military camps established by the beast spirit people on the plane battlefield. Each of them is stationed with heavy troops and is guarded by big nobles. They look at each other and respond to each other. As long as one of them is attacked, the adjacent camp will immediately send troops.
Not to mention support, other camps will also take the opportunity to sneak attack our defense line and force our army to return to defense. Therefore, we attacked several times but failed to capture any of the camps!"
Speaking of this, Kong Tong couldn't hide his depression in his tone.
Obviously, the unfavorable situation in the war during this period made him very unhappy.
Lin Ze looked thoughtful.
"Is the beast spirit man stalling for time?"
Logically speaking, as the invading party, the Beast Spirit People should race against time to occupy more territory.
Even if you suffer a big loss at the beginning, you should continue to attack with all your strength.
Why do you seem to be holding on and waiting now?
An iron-barrel-like defense line has even been established for this purpose.
Kong Tong nodded solemnly and said:
"According to the information we have received, within two months at most, an army from another province will arrive on the plane battlefield, and the scale will not be smaller than the invading beast spirit army. By then, it is estimated that the beast spirit people will
Time to launch a real offensive!”
Lin Ze had long heard from Gao Wenbai that a space crack had appeared in the federal territory in the beast spirit plane a few years ago.
The beast spirit forces affiliated to Tianlu Province have also established a trading and cooperative relationship with the Federation.
It belongs to a different camp than the Geshan Province that invaded the Federation at this time.
It is said to be related to the battle for the throne of the Beast Spirit Empire.
Most of the information from the Ningjiang City military came from Tianlu Province.
Therefore, he was not surprised when he heard this. He just pointed to more than ten places on the map marked with the images of elephants, apes, and lions and asked:
"What is this?"
Kong Tong took a look and explained:
"These are the spiritual beasts cultivated by the army of beast spirits, the gray-toothed elephant, the stone lion and the blood ape!"
"Among them, the gray-toothed elephant and the stone lion have fourth-level power, and the blood ape has fifth-level power. Although they are not particularly powerful, they are quite numerous!"
"In addition to the beast spirit soldiers, this is another force that cannot be underestimated. So far, many sergeants and adventurers have died under the claws of these ferocious spirit beasts!"
"And these places are the places where these three spiritual beasts frequently appear!"
Lin Ze understood.
Some beast spiritists have the ability to control spirit beasts.
Mephit Cavalry and Rhinoceros Cavalry are such beast spirits.
It is expected that beast spirit people will control spirit beasts for use in war.
Kong Tong then explained to Lin Ze the meanings of some map marks, and then rolled up the map and handed it to Lin Ze.
"Mr. Lin, if you need anything in the future, you can come here to see me at any time. I can provide you with new trends in the beast spirit army at any time!"
"Thank you, it was a big help!"
"You're welcome, and good luck with your adventure!"
Lin Ze smiled slightly. As he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked again:
"Colonel, there are rumors that Duke Zhuyin, the supreme commander of the Beast Spirit People, was seriously injured. Is it true?"
Kong Tong nodded without thinking.
"That's right!"
"Thanks to Mr. Lu, the president of your college, and General Pei, Duke Zhuyin was seriously injured. According to the two adults, at least for the next two months, there is no need to worry about Duke Zhuyin taking action in the war!
"
"I understand, thank you!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Ze's mouth.
Among the only ten nobles left in the beast spirit army, the one he fears the most is Duke Zhuyin, who is said to have reached the holy level!
With such a sharp sword hanging over his head at all times, he couldn't let go of his hands when hunting on the battlefield.
Fortunately, Duke Zhuyin has not recovered from his serious injury. Without such a powerful enemy peeking in secret, it will be much easier for him to move!
Under Kong Tong's arrangement, Lin Ze no longer had to queue up to pass through the camp gate, but took the fast track.
Two minutes later.
Lin Ze has entered the plane battlefield.
...
In the desolate and desolate wilderness.
A pet beast that looks like a crab but can crawl vertically is moving its legs quickly and moving forward with its head buried in the air.
The five adventurers were sitting or squatting on the flat and broad back of the pet beast, looking back from time to time, their expressions unable to conceal their panic.
"It's too slow, Old Chen, can't you make your pet go faster?"
"You put it easily. I am a deep-sea giant crab, not a rock crab. How can I be as fast on land as in the water?"
"But this is too slow. If this continues, the aliens will soon catch up!"
"If you continue to complain, believe it or not, I will throw you down. It will definitely be faster if you have one less person to carry!"
"you......"
"stop fighting!"
Captain Wan Xing, who was sitting at the front, turned around abruptly and interrupted the quarrel between the two angrily.
"When has this been going on? Do you still have time to argue?"
"If you have this skill, you might as well save your strength to prepare for the next battle!"
After hearing the captain's last words, the four people on Crab's back all changed their expressions.
One of the twenty-four or five-year-old female adventurers couldn't help but said:
"team leader......"
Wan Xing glanced into the distance, frowned and said:
"This place is at least twenty kilometers away from the nearest federal army outpost. With the footsteps of abyssal giant crabs, they probably can't outrun the group of magic bat cavalry!"
The four team members all looked frightened when they heard this.
"Then, what should we do?"
"You think...if we return the stolen spirit beast eggs to them, will they let us go?"
"Did your head get caught in the door? If those intruders were so talkative, would they have killed so many adventurers?"
"That's right! Besides, we got these spirit beast eggs with a lot of hard work and effort! I just decided to sell them so that I can use the money to buy new pet beasts!"
The four of them were noisy again in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the four restless team members, Wan Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Suddenly.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a black spot at the end of the sky in the distance. He immediately opened his eyes and looked at it, and his expression quickly changed.
"Stop arguing! The beast spirit people are catching up!"
The team members stopped talking and looked up one after another. Sure enough, they found that there was a group of pursuers in the sky two thousand meters away.
It's the Mephit Cavalry!
Seeing this, everyone suddenly looked panicked.
Although the overall combat strength of the Mephit Cavalry is only around level four, even the elite warriors among them are only at level five at most.
But I can’t stand the large number!
Once dispatched, there were hundreds or even thousands, overwhelming!
In the final analysis, the five of them are just the lowest-ranking adventure team among plane adventurers, and they can handle hundreds of Mephit Cavalry.
But once the number of enemies exceeds three hundred, they will have no choice but to flee!
Once the number exceeds five hundred, even escape is a luxury!
And at this moment.
There were at least seven or eight hundred of the magic bat cavalry chasing them!
This amount is far beyond what they can handle!
"This, this is terrible! Do those beast spirit people value these ten spirit beast eggs so much? They don't even hesitate to send so many magic bat cavalry to chase us!"
"What's the use of talking about this now? Hurry up and find a solution!"
The team members all turned their attention to the captain.
Wan Xing gritted his teeth, thoughts racing in his mind, thinking of ways to break the situation.
After a while.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"The Mephit Cavalry is much faster than us. If we continue to run away, we will be overtaken sooner or later. We must find a place to stop and prepare to fight!"
"Yes, but there is no way we can defeat so many magic bat cavalry! What's the difference between stopping to fight and seeking death?"
"This area is about 20 kilometers away from the federal army outpost. With luck, the patrol may discover the situation here, and we can be saved by then!"
The expressions of the team members suddenly darkened.
The patrol usually only patrols near the outpost, and the possibility of being 20 kilometers away from the outpost is really low!
Unless the patrol gets lost!
But no matter what, this is their only hope for survival now!
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Wanxing immediately made the decision.
He looked around, pointed to a hillside five or six hundred meters away and said:
"Old Chen, go that way!"
Fighting with your back on a hillside can prevent the enemy from sneak attacks from behind. You only need to defend from the front, left, right and overhead, which is relatively easy.
Lao Chen immediately understood the captain's intention and immediately controlled the deep-sea giant crab to fly towards the hillside.
However.
When they got closer to the hillside, they were shocked to find that there was a person sitting on the top of the hillside.
