485. The situation has changed
The southern continent has begun to gradually move towards the tail of spring, and the scorching summer has faintly begun to rise.
However, compared to the rest of the Miracle Continent, the summer here in the Savage Lands is going to be even hotter. In particular, the Gobi terrain on the outskirts of the wilderness will form a more blazing high temperature environment under the sunlight, which is an invisible pressure burden for the hoplites.
Fortunately, Clauf's Cecilia Guards were mostly light infantry rather than heavy infantry, so there was no trouble in this regard. Although nearly half of the Thunder Lion Division is heavy infantry, the Thunder Lion is not a pure human formation, and the heavy infantry is known for its endurance and strength, such as the Minotaur and the Bear Man, etc., and it also has a certain resistance to the terrain like the Wild Land, coupled with the transportation of baggage vehicles, it did not cause much trouble.
At the very least, the losses of non-combat attrition were much lower than William had anticipated.
At this time, on the top of a mountain, William rode on a high-headed war horse with a silver-white body and looked up, his gaze was very deep.
Since the agreement was reached, when Sean and Andrew and the others left, William and the others immediately hit the road. They marched for nearly two months before finally arriving near the area under the jurisdiction of the Millennium Covenant Empire, and according to the combined intelligence provided by Hashas and Angel, William found that their journey was even much faster than the transport force that secretly supported the rebel forces of the Millennium Covenant Empire. If there is no accident, the convoy that secretly supports the rebel army of the Millennium Covenant Empire should be found in the next few days, after all, the place that William and the others are guarding at this time is the only way to enter the Millennium Covenant Empire from the wilderness. And in order to prevent accidents, William has also sent all the reconnaissance troops out. A high level of attention and reconnaissance was carried out throughout the area.
Hassas rode to William's side, and he could feel the chill and murderous intent emanating from William's body. This is very different from the impression that Hashas had of William. Because the previous contact with William was in the conference room, he showed a very restrained and mellow momentum, just like a real politician, even when there was an argument, he was smiling most of the time.
"Good work, Lord William." Hashas whispered hello to William, "For this matter." β
"We've got an agreement, so I'm just following the rules." William chuckled back, but the low aura emanating from him didn't change in the slightest. "Your Excellency, please don't worry. This time, the people who came with the army are really elite, and I have prepared a number of countermeasures to ensure that you can be the final winner. β
"Of course I believe His Excellency William's words." Hashas smiled in response, then turned his head to look ahead.
At this time, the location where William and the others were stationed was near a stone mountain in the wilderness near the area of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Because the size of the stone mountain is not large, and the altitude is only four or five hundred, it is not possible for a large army to be completely stationed on the top of the mountain, so the Thunder Lion and Cecilia Guards are camped at the foot of the mountain. On the platform at the top of the hill, there were only William, Nolo, Alfred, and Hassa's retinue.
As for the legion that Hashas brought. William did not take over the command, and it was still the Hashas men who served as the commander of the legion. However, William will still issue some battle orders to the other party, and the timing and situation of execution will be determined by the other party.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see farther than usual. Especially in the wilderness, an empty terrain full of the Gobi Desert.
"Your Excellency William, it's windy on the mountain, let's go down the mountain first." Hashas spoken. "I believe that with your superb command skills, this war will be won by a great victory. So in order to avoid contracting the wind chill. Let's get out of here. β¦β¦ Warm wine and delicacies have been prepared at the foot of the mountain, just waiting for us to go back. β
Hear the words of Hasas. William knew Hashas would be wrong.
He would blow the cold wind here, just to seek peace of mind for himself, not to think about the next rebellion against the Millennium Covenant Empire. Although the information provided by Hashas was not very accurate, because of Angel's supplement, William had a very accurate understanding of the intelligence information of the enemy army. It is precisely because of this that William does not take the other party to heart at all.
What's more, in addition to the two elites of the Thunder Lion commanded by Alfred and the Cecilia Guards commanded by Clov, Angel's Frost Legion was responsible for the final blockade in front of the dispatch. Because of the particularity of Angel's identity and the factor of the rebel army, even in the jurisdiction of the Savage Land of the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Frost Legion can shoot at will without worrying about any attack.
So basically, the action against this rebel army is simply a formality.
What William really felt upset about at this time and needed to blow the mountain wind to calm down was about Cecilia's Einsatzgruppen.
The commander of this special task force is Cecilia, and in addition to Kokire and Rena, he is accompanied by Angel and William's own sister Rilista and her three mercenary companions: Alyssa. Omela, Lucinda. Courtville, Mellie. And in order to prevent other accidents, Tiny, who has been promoted to the position of cardinal and deputy head of the Clergy Combat Corps of the Church of Ice and Winter, also joins the team.
Judging purely from the point of view of strength, the combat effectiveness of this special operation is very strong: even if you don't count the super strong man Kokilei, Rena, who has obtained Michael's suit, also has terrifying strength equivalent to that of a legendary powerhouse, not to mention that Reina after dragonization can even make Michael enter the awakening state - under the dual dress of dragonization and Michael's awakening, Rena can probably exert the terrifying combat power of the fourteenth order, although it has not yet reached the peak of the legend, but the average legendary powerhouse will not be Rena's opponent.
Cecilia, Angel, and Tini are all powerhouses in the Sanctuary, the only difference is that Angel is considered to be a peak powerhouse in the upper Sanctuary with half a foot in the legend; Cecilia has already touched the edge of the law of depth, and it can also be regarded as half a foot stepping into the realm of the upper sanctuary; Tini has not been in the middle of the Sacred Domain for a long time, not only has the strength of the realm not been completely stabilized, but the improvement of her ability is not much compared to the period of the lower Sacred Domain.
But in any case, the sharp knives formed by these strong men are enough to defy everything.
In this case, the four of them are not worth mentioning. However, because they are all experienced and experienced mercenaries and adventurers, if they are responsible for leading the way, Cecilia and the others can save a lot of trouble and time, and basically they can still be regarded as having great benefits.
But I don't know why, for such a powerful special operations force, William's heart is inexplicably fearful.
While Hashas was trying to persuade William to return to the camp, a man in special leather armor and a special mask stepped out of a shadow on the top of the hill and ran briskly towards William. The masked man's body exuded an extremely strong murderous aura, and that killing intent was so strong that it almost turned into substance, and even Hashas and Moro could feel a slight chill down their backs.
You must know that the strength shown by this masked man is only the upper gold, not even the Holy Domain!
However, Moro possessed the strength of the Upper Sacred Realm, a realm that was enough for him to ignore many assassins and killers. But at this moment, in front of an assassin who was no more than a high-ranking gold, Moro actually felt a threat, which made him subconsciously approach Hashasas's side, his eyes firmly fixed on the masked man who was walking towards everyone step by step.
"Don't be nervous, it's your own people." William naturally noticed Moro's performance, so he spoke.
The masked man removes the mask that covers his face, revealing a youthful face. But unlike the vigorous aura of young people, which should be full of vitality, the young face under the mask looks a little pale and dead silentβthe paleness may be due to the fact that the sun has not been exposed for a long time, but the dead silence makes people feel extremely frightened, because what can be seen in his eyes is a disregard for life.
"This is Ruby, one of the heads of the Void Realm, the commander of the Void Blade." William opened his mouth to introduce Hashas and Moro, "This time, because of the urgency, I asked the Void Realm to join the reconnaissance operation. β¦β¦ Rupee, tell me about your findings. β
The last sentence was said by William turning his head to Ruby.
Ignoring the look of surprise that Hashas and the others looked at him, Ruby saluted William and then said, "The target force has been found, and it is camped about five kilometers away from here. From what has been detected, it is clear that the force has already fought at least two or more battles, as they do not appear to be as large as the initial intelligence suggests, and the camp is heavily guarded and appears to be in a state of recuperation, and I do not expect any movement in the coming days. β
After listening to Rupee's report, William's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice became low: "What about the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire?" β
"Six days ago, we got in touch with the Frost Legion, and they said that they followed your instructions and arrived at the combat position the day before yesterday for deployment." Ruby replied, "In addition, because the movements of the Frost Legion have not been concealed in any way, there are some special phenomena on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire. β¦β¦ Traces of the covert movements of two armies have been heard, one of which is bypassing the Frost Legion and entering the Savages, while the other is heading towards the Forest of Sighs. β
"Sigh Forest, there is ...... there," William subconsciously shouted, but soon realized the situation at this time, so he hurriedly changed his words, "...... Keep an eye out for the tracks of these two covert troops, especially the Forest of Sighs, and report them as soon as they find them! β
"Yes!" Ruby nodded, then put his mask back on and left the summit. (To be continued......)
