The afternoon sun is lazy, but for some reason, it becomes vicious and spicy on the Red Flame Heights. The surface temperature of the highlands itself is higher than that of any other area in the Twilight Continent, and the hot springs and the three volcanoes at the end of the highlands catalyze the temperature of the ground at noon is so high that the scenery is distorted. This was a great burden for the Cato, who were clad in thick armor and preferred heavy weapons. The heat of the earth caused their march on the highlands to be extremely draining, and even when the team returned to the makeshift camp after completing the area sweep, all the warriors sat down in relative shade, their tongues stretched out, and they were panting for air.

This makeshift camp has one or two hundred people, and over the past four hours, camps like this have sprung up on the Red Flame Heights. They are the countless nodes of the Cato's assault on the Red Flame Heights, and the forces of these camps are being built into a tight network.

This is very different from the previous way of attacking the Cato people, who have a tight offensive network and have evenly distributed firepower, with no outstanding strengths or obvious shortcomings. What's more, this distribution makes it impossible to guess where the Cato's heavy forces are deployed, making it impossible to surprise them with surprise troops, resulting in a passive defensive posture for the Federation.

But for Adele, the camp in front of her is her goal, and the two hundred enemy soldiers in it are equivalent to a military feat. Adele wears a dark brown tactical suit with handy, light armor. The armor was coated in patches of varying shades, making her almost one with the ubiquitous red rocks of the Highlands. She uses a small tactical telescope to observe the heights and marks the targets with the intelligent system on the telescope.

"Attack." She lowered her binoculars and whispered in her headset.

When there was a sharp whistling, above Adele's head, four black dots appeared in the sunny sky, and behind each black dot dragged a tumbling fire. They pierced the sky, slanted and quickly landed in the makeshift camp, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. Several fireballs rose between the camps, and the shock wave of the explosion caused the red rocks around the camp to collapse outwards like sand, centering on the explosion point.

Although it was a kilometer away from the camp, the wind was not only full of hot sand, but also the wind itself. The wind almost blew the camouflage cap off Adele's head, and the girl pressed the hat tightly, waiting for the aftermath of the explosion in the camp to subside before ordering the soldiers in ambush to assault. She herself carried a sniper rifle with a pale gray shell, and swept like a cat through the rocks and mountains as she pressed towards the camp.

Under the attack of several concussion missiles, the ground of the camp appeared in a circle of earth and rock, and not a single rock in the vicinity was intact. The corpses in the heart of the explosion were even more bloody and blurry, and the thick armor on those corpses was severely distorted, and they could not play a protective role at all under the impact of the shock wave after the missile explosion. The corpses of the camp were overturned, but a dozen lucky ones on the brink of the explosion survived.

One of them was probably the captain of the team, a Gato man with one arm blown away and an axe in one hand. The fighters who rushed into the camp were cut down one after another, and in the blink of an eye, three people had fallen forever beside him. He roared and roared, and suddenly a bowl-sized wound exploded in his chest. The thick armor that protected him was nothing, and the flesh and blood inside spurted out a few meters away with the gushing blood, and the Cato was stunned, looking for whose hand it was, a faint silver light pointed straight at his forehead, and then the part above the eye suddenly exploded. Flesh and bones flew backwards like flags, clearly marking the direction of the impact.

Losing half of his head, even the most brave Cato warrior could only fall with a bang. Without this good hand as a support, the remaining Cato warriors scurried like headless flies, being bombarded and harvested by the human warriors who kept storming the camp.

The battle was fierce and short. From the bombardment of the concussion missile to the fall of the last Cato soldier, it was only ten minutes. The smell of burnt creatures wafts through the camp, and Adele enters the camp with a sniper rifle on her back as the soldiers sweep the camp. The muzzle of the gun was still warm, and the enemy captain just now was put down by her.

"Miss, it has been confirmed that all enemy soldiers have been annihilated." A moment later, a soldier reported the results.

Adele nodded, and in the distance, the sound of gunfire came one after another. Even the wind is filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Starting with the raid of the Chaos Race in the morning, the war in the Red Flame Heights broke out in full force. The combined forces of the Cato and the Gregorians flooded the heights, and in the early stages of the battle, the unprepared human side was defeated one after another. It wasn't until he retreated to the middle of the Red Flame Heights that he barely stood his ground.

After that, it was a severe test for the major defense districts, whether it was the federal military or the private armies of various families, in the face of ten times the number of enemy troops, no one could not help but feel numb. What's worse is that the current strength of the fortress is scattered, and only two-thirds of the remaining defenders are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In particular, Bescord and Gorett's family armies, who had already left the high ground with half of their forces to sweep away enemy strongholds and bases in the zone of control.

As soon as the remaining forces came into contact with the invading enemy, they immediately showed defeat. Bethcord is okay, after all, it is a famous family with a deep heritage. Even if they were defeated, they had to choose to retreat into the deep defense area, but they did not retreat. It was also an evacuation, and the Golett family was in a hurry. Even many supplies for the front-line positions did not have time to be taken away, so they hurriedly fled to the rear.

Among the several major defense areas in the Red Flame Heights, the army of the Gorett family can be regarded as the side that loses the fastest and loses the most defense areas.

Originally, with the combat power of the Mosen family's army, it was only comparable to the Gorett family. Even slightly inferior, the Mosen family made a fortune as a businessman, and this family has never lacked strong force to sit in charge, otherwise it would not have considered absorbing the army of the Gorett family by marriage at that time. Due to the insistence of old Kate, the marriage between Adele and Toure's son finally fell through, and the Mowson family spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of mercenaries and put together an army to go on the expedition. Among all the family armies on the Heavenly Star, the army of the Morson family is almost at the bottom.

But in today's attack of the chaotic race, the Mossons have been unexpectedly tough, and so far, only a quarter of them have fallen into the enemy's defense zone. The reason for this has a lot to do with the fact that the Mosen family did not participate in the task of sweeping the control area, and it can be said that the Mosen family, which has preserved its complete strength, has become the strongest family army on the Red Flame Heights today.

The commander of the army, Zike, is the head of the Eagle Wings, the largest mercenary group hired by the Mowsons, and a retired federal colonel. His military talents were outstanding, and this time in the face of a massive enemy onslaught, Zike changed his strategy of sticking to it. He deliberately exposed several gaps in the defensive line to make the enemy soldiers think that there was an opportunity. However, the enemy troops who penetrated deep into the defense area did not expect that instead of being able to drag the victory, they were divided and surrounded by the ambush arranged by Zike.

It was like digging several aqueducts into the levees to allow the raging flood water to drain away. The flood is still fierce, but it will not flood the flood embankment all at once. Under Zike's skilful command, the pressure from the enemy was kept within a tolerable range.

Even Adele had to rejoice that she had really recruited a good commander this time.

"Miss, it's time to go back." At this time, a soldier reminded.

Adele nodded, since she went out to battle this morning, she has eliminated two such temporary camps, and slaughtered nearly a hundred enemy soldiers along the way. Now the ammunition of the team, the physical strength of the soldiers, including her own mental state, etc., have reached a critical point, and she really has to return to the rear to rest. Gesturing, Adele walked back with her sniper rifle on her back, and looked back as she stepped on a high rock.

That person, I don't know where he is now? She thought, but didn't stop, and returned to the family camp with her team, which had been reduced by nearly half of its personnel.

The family camp was still affected by the war, and the Mowson family chose this high ground. On the left is next to the Federal Army's defense zone, and on the right is Bethcord's area. As long as these two areas have not fallen, the Mosen family will not have much crisis. Adele returned to her lodgings to take a shower, changed her clothes, repacked her ammunition, and arrived in the command hall with a sniper rifle on her back.

The hall was busy, with a clutter of cables and cables on the floor. Several high-power brain terminals are connected by technicians to form a central processing unit that can quickly process more than 10,000 data. With its assistance, Zike is able to control every slightest change in the battlefield at any time, so as to make arrangements and even reformulate response strategies.

Adele came directly to the retired colonel, and Zike, who was already middle-aged, had a rare jet-black hair color, but his mantles were already gray. He has a resolute face and a sense of uncompromise. In him, the toughness of the military can be seen. With him, everyone in the hall felt at ease.

"Mr. Zike, how's it going?" Adele asked.

Zike looked back, and he admired the Mowson family, a seemingly delicate young lady who was braver than most men on the battlefield. Wen Yan smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, the main pressure of the enemy is not on our side at present. Coupled with our decompression strategy, unless the enemy suddenly increases its troops, it will not be a problem to hold on for a day and a half. ”

"You see, the enemy's forces are still mainly in the defense zone controlled by the Federal Military Department, and there are ...... here," Zeke pointed to an electronic map on the screen.

It was a stone forest, and there was writing on it that clearly marked the words of the Gorett family. Zike said: "For some reason, the enemy army has invested a lot of troops in the Golett family, which makes the barbaric hunters of the Golet family no longer able to withstand the pressure, and the defense line retreats again and again. The enemy army drove straight in, and from this point of view, if the Gorett family did not have the means to return to heaven, I am afraid that it would not take more than an hour for their defense area to be exposed. ”
