The humidity in the Boles Forest is heavy, especially in the evening, just before dawn, when the sticky feeling is noticeable.

The Whitewing Mercenaries had been here for a night, so they were particularly aware of the feeling. Many soldiers put their weapons aside, and even the light armor on their bodies was removed, if it weren't for the fear of bad effects, these soldiers even wanted to strip off their whole bodies, but at this moment, their upper bodies were completely naked, in fact, it was not much better.

William's gaze swept over the soldiers' faces, a faint hint of anger between his brows.

He never thought that the quality of Bai Yi's reserve soldiers would be so low, was this really an army that had experienced a hundred battles and could even fight against the regular armies of various kingdoms? William was unusually suspicious of this, he glanced at the night with some concern, there was no wind tonight, and the forest seemed exceptionally quiet at this time, although these soldiers did make William a little blind, but at least they were not stupid enough to really think of it as an outing or anything.

Most people are resting quietly, and the occasional conversation is also very light.

I don't know what the road is about, William always feels a little uneasy in his heart, and the silence in the forest makes him feel unusually vigilant. At this time, he didn't have the lazy appearance he had before, and his whole body exuded an extremely awe-inspiring momentum, just like a sharp blade out of the sheath, with a sharp edge.

Finally, in the midst of the crowd, William found the general of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment who was in charge of the operation.

When the other party saw William walking towards him, he frowned unabashedly, and several adjutants around him also seemed to be aware of something, and everyone turned their heads to look at William, and the atmosphere was unusually low. It's clear that Willian is definitely not a likable or popular character here, even if he has shown his talent this morning.

"What's the matter?" The general said with a proud face.

"Don't you arrange for a vigil?" William glanced at the surrounding situation and found that there were no patrols at all, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Do you think you need it?" The general didn't want to deal with William. But what William said. But it was as if he had heard a very funny joke, "Do you think those Northland barbarians will attack us?" …… Do they have that strength? Besides, when we evacuated, I had already let the team turn back to the northeast, and deliberately laid traces of our evacuation to the south, do you think those northland barbarians can really find us? ”

"You're too arrogant." William stared coldly at the general. "As a good general, you should not leave any opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of anytime and anywhere."

"Oh? So what do you think you should do? The general asked rhetorically.

"It's time for the soldiers to be dressed and their hands down, at least not so much so that they should be separated, and at the same time to arrange for a vigil patrol......"

Before William could finish speaking, an adjutant next to him had already interrupted him: "The soldiers have been on the road for a long time. We should take this opportunity to rest now, because we are already running low on food, so we should take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet discovered us......"

"Do you think the enemy really didn't find out?" William looked at the other party coldly, "The ambush in the morning failed, and the opponent is obviously ......"

"Enough!" The general snorted coldly, and the impatience on his face became even more obvious, "An army doesn't need two commanders, don't forget your position." You're just a staff officer. The real commander of this army is me, not you. I've been fighting for seven years, how old are you now? ”

"By the facts of this morning. Your opponent's IQ is clearly not on par with yours, and your experience can't beat him. William rebuked unceremoniously, "Moreover, you obviously have no in-depth knowledge of the enemy's intelligence. The opposing team's troops are composed of Northland Barbarians, and the Northland Barbarians living in the Ice Domain have a very keen sense of smell, which is related to their living environment. ”

The general's face was already gloomy and terrifying, and he saw that many soldiers around him had already looked at this side with some curiosity, it turned out that in the conversation just now, they were all angry with each other, and their voices naturally became louder and louder. Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little unending at this moment, the general finally became a little annoyed: "William! Recognize who you are, you're just ......"

Before the general's voice could finish speaking, a scream suddenly rang out, which was particularly abrupt and piercing in the quiet forest and night.

Everyone almost subconsciously looked at the screaming soldier, and a feathered arrow pierced directly through his heart, and the powerful force even made the iron arrow come out of his body. If the soldier hadn't removed his light armor due to the dampness of the forest environment before, the arrow would never have dealt such a fatal blow to him.

Most of the soldiers around were still a little stunned, obviously not yet reacting.

"Enemy attack!" William was the first to react, he immediately shouted this sentence without even thinking about it, and then immediately fell to the ground and began to look for cover.

With this sound, which seemed to be a starting order, the white-winged mercenaries, who were still resting before, began to boil like ants on a hot pot. And until this moment, they can't believe that they will be attacked by an enemy they have always looked down on, which is simply a shame! But at this moment, in order to completely wash away their shame in the future, they must save their lives as much as possible now.

At this point, the White Wing Mercenary Regiment, as a third-level force, has a remarkable response capability.

But that's about it.

The arrows in the sky, like locusts, poured down all over the sky.

William only glanced at it, and immediately shrunk his body as far as he could, and then completely hid behind cover, not daring to move at all. Looking at the shooting down of these arrows, he knew very well that the commander of the other side was more clever than he imagined - under normal circumstances, in the terrain in the forest, he would pursue accurate shooting and reduce the enemy's strength as much as possible. But now, the commander of the opposing side has completely abandoned this tactic, dividing the archers into several groups, pursuing the wounded with uninterrupted covering fire.

At this moment, he was no longer angry, and his opponent's command ability was not only beyond his expectations, but even more daring than he imagined - in fact, even he was completely unexpected. The other party really dared to come over and attack at night. He had previously asked to patrol. But that's just a subconscious habit, and it's not really thinking that the other party dares to sneak attack.

But now......

William really treats the other party as a military strategist of the same level as himself, but it's a pity that he has a pig-like teammate on his side.

The rain of arrows that poured out was not aimed at an area target at all, and it was completely shot wherever there were many people. But the only thing that is clear is that the other side clearly cares about the front, left and right sides of the battlefield. Anyone who tried to move in these three directions was met with unrelenting collective fire, and more than a dozen corpses that had been almost shot into porcupines lay there, clearly announcing the forbidden area in front of them.

William's gaze wandered across the battlefield, and the place where he was hiding at the moment happened to be in the shadow of a boulder. It doesn't rely on tree trunks and some other terrain to dodge like everyone else. Although his position was indeed relatively safe, the flaws were just as obvious, he could not observe the entire battlefield, and the only thing he could make out was that the pig-like general was letting out a roar like the sound of a pig.

"This idiot, what else will he do besides asking people to find cover!" William thought a little depressed, he only hated that the command was not on him. There is also some resentment. For what enemy will not kill this idiot together, in that case according to the battlefield regulations. As the second highest commander in the army, he can immediately take over the command of this army.

Then William saw that the idiot had circled to the rear of the battlefield, where hundreds of soldiers had gathered.

Seeing the other party's movements, William seemed to suddenly feel like something, and a chill came out of the depths of his heart. Desperately trying to be shot, he poked his head out from behind the cover and glanced at the front of the entire battlefield—

Because when they rested before, the team did not deliberately keep a distance, but spread out in a scattered manner, after all, the scale of three thousand people, this is by no means as easy to hide as dozens of people and hundreds of people, so in this forest, they occupy a huge field width. And now, the frontal environment of the entire battlefield has been cut into two places because of the rain of arrows, and the entire force of more than 2,000 people is completely trapped in these two battlefields, among which there are still many wounded who are lying on the ground wailing, and those who are lucky enough not to be injured can only duck down and hide behind some stones or taller trees at this moment, and they dare not stand up at all, because the opponent's arrow rain shots are shot from the left and right, if it is simply to avoid one side, It is bound to be attacked from the other side.

And the archers who belong to their own side are also completely suppressed at this moment and can't raise their heads at all, losing the judgment and leadership of the commander, and the several messy counterattacks organized by the archers themselves also appear to be extremely weak and declining, and they can't have any due effect at all. Even because it attracted the attention of the other party, the rain of arrows on both sides covered it at the same time, causing greater casualties.

Further ahead of this battlefield, the view caused by the emptiness of the field is vast, and a fan of death has been formed. Except for the first dozen or so soldiers who ran around in a panic and were shot into porcupines, no one dared to break through to the front or to the left and right.

Everything seems to be normal.

However, William found that his opponent was taking advantage of the firepower covered by the rain of arrows to push his soldiers behind, and it seemed that the only way was safe. And the vast majority of people who were lucky enough to be far away from the battlefield and were not taken care of by the rain of arrows, at this moment, under the call of the general of the White Wing Mercenary Group, quickly gathered towards the rear, and at this moment they had formed a force that was enough to threaten the opponent's archers.

William, however, let out a terrible roar: "Disperse! That's a trap! ”

William's voice resounded abruptly on the battlefield, making the general feel flustered and frightened for no reason. Because he didn't follow his advice today, he suffered two failures, and this second failure was a burden that was so painful that he couldn't bear it at all, as if he had been slapped hard, so although he still didn't like William, and even thought that William was a scourge at all, he still subconsciously chose to listen: "Disperse!" ”

It's a pity that the general's words were too late.

Three huge fireballs with a diameter of more than half a meter fell from the sky and landed accurately on the position where the general of the White Wing Mercenary Group was standing.

In the next second, the flames bloomed in the crowd like a blooming red lotus, and a mushroom cloud rose. (To be continued.) )
