Chapter 351: Stalemate

It was night, and the camp of the city guards could clearly hear the gunfire that rang out from time to time inside and outside the guard wall. The cavalry squad of Storm City harassed from time to time, so that the soldiers of the city defense team could not let go for a moment. Only those flaming soldiers, they simply held their guns and closed their eyes on the firing position and pretended to sleep, so as to restore their spiritual bodies. These warriors, selected from Bethcord's family guard, are seasoned veterans who know when it's time to take a break.

True, it is possible for the enemy to use the cover of night to carry out a sneak attack. But as long as you keep a few key positions, you don't need to worry. The wall has been raised, making it difficult for the enemy to attack. It's just that the soldiers of Sur City have not fought any battles, and there are still many recruits in it, so they are naturally not as experienced as the Flame Soldiers.

In the camp office, Roy rested in his chair with his eyes closed. Lucy stood at the window and whispered, "Belmode has been gone for so long, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Don't worry, miss. I know that guy very well, the night is his stage, but I am worried that he will meet the hunter and miss the big thing. Roy opened his eyes and said.

"Am I like that kind of person who doesn't care about it?" A man suddenly crept into the office, and Belmode snorted, "I've got what you wanted, let's take a look." ”

He pulled something out of his jacket pocket and spread it out on the table, but it was a scribbled map. However, it can be seen that it is the military camp of Storm City, and Belmode was originally doing reconnaissance work, and based on his observations, he drew this sketch back. The map clearly marked the camp's main tent, barns, stalls, and material storage points, which shows that Belmode still put a lot of thought into it.

"We are outnumbered by our opponents, and we are running out of ammunition for our Flame Rifles. If the normal way of playing, the enemy only needs to come back two or three more rounds of attacks like during the day, and we will have to prepare to break through the city. Roy's fingers wandered across the map of StormCity's camp, spending the longest time between the main tent and the supply dump.

Finally, he stopped. Roy tapped the supply site and said, "Their supplies must be ruined, and without them, they will not be able to fight a protracted war." With an army of 1,000 people, the daily consumption is no joke. As long as it drags on for a day or two, they can only retreat without supplies. ”

"I don't think they're going to let us burn the supply point, Miss Adele isn't here, so I can't give them a blazing bullet from afar like last time." Belmode said, "Don't be careless, Roy. I've seen it, they're very well defended. In particular, the main tent and supply points should be marked on the map. ”

"I know, so it's hard to distract them with feints."

Lucy frowned and said, "I have already used this trick to bomb their artillery position in the morning, no matter how stupid the other party's commander is, he won't be fooled twice in a row, right?" ”

Roy laughed and said, "Of course." But in the morning we fought on two fronts, and tonight we fought on three or even four fronts. Fiction and reality are interspersed, and the use of soldiers is only deceitful. ”

Turning to Bloy, he shouted, "Get up and get to work, brother." ”

The highlander grabbed the hammer and pressed a scorching breath of air from his chest: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Roy quickly arranged four teams, the first two of which were responsible for harassment. The third team targets the supply points, while the fourth team takes cover and acts as a surprise agent if necessary. It is conceivable that the virtual and real actions of these four teams must have caused Mo Gu a big headache. Just as they were about to leave, Roy was told by a soldier to go to the wall.

When you come to the guard wall, you can see through the night, the military camp in Storm City is blazing, and the other party seems to be fighting with someone. Roy narrowed his eyes, and Belmode next to him said, "Could it be a trap, pretending to create chaos to lure us out of the city?" ”

"It's hard to say." Roy didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

At this moment, there was a hissing in the wilderness, and I saw that something in the firelight quickly rushed into the camp, and immediately sparks flew everywhere. Lucy uses a sniper rifle's sight as a telescope, and from the sight, the camp in Storm City is on fire in several places. The soldiers were fighting some wild beasts, and the snakes were the most visible in the firelight. Snakes of all kinds, two of which are bucket-thick pythons stand out, rampage, occasionally rolling up their soldiers into flames.

In addition to snakes, there are wild boars with fangs in their mouths, and some fierce beasts like lions and tigers. At the head of the group was a large snake covered with black and white scales, with a bone crown on its head and a golden horn that was extremely dazzling in the firelight. The serpent swam like a fly, bending its neck from time to time, and knocking the besieging Thunder Knight into the air with its bone crown and horn, unable to form an effective formation.

What's more, the snake scales around the body will flow from time to time, and then the big snake will open its mouth, and it will spit out a fire dragon. The snake shook its head, and the waves of fire flew up, burning everything in the camp. In the flames, the snake seemed to sense, and looked in the direction of the sight. The pale golden snake eyes made Lucy feel extremely familiar. Suddenly remembered that these snake eyes were almost the same as white.

"It's white!" Lucy pointed at the serpent, "That's white, the snake that Eren raised!" ”

Roy was stunned, and Belmode also lost his voice: "When did that thing grow so big?" ”

"It's no ordinary snake, it's the Twilight King Snake. Shiro should have evolved, hey, this guy is here to help. Lucy said.

Roy nodded and said, "Okay, let's take this opportunity to go." ”

Mogu never thought that tonight would evolve into the current situation, and according to his original plan, he would use cavalry squads to constantly harass the opponent's city defenses. At the same time, the main force was allowed to rest and recuperate. They will carry out a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, and be sure to break the city in one blow. Originally, everything was going according to plan, but suddenly a large number of fierce beasts appeared from the wilderness behind the barracks, and they suddenly attacked the camp, causing Mogu's arrangement to be chaotic.

In particular, one of them was a one-horned snake, this alien beast had thick scales and armor, and there was not even a trace of fire/gun hitting it. Only a captain-level sword infused with source power could hurt it, and that giant snake was so powerful that it could even spew flames, causing Mogu to lose Yan Zòng.

However, the disaster did not come alone, and when the military camp was in a hurry for the sudden appearance of the beast tide, the enemy took the opportunity to attack. They first dispatched two teams to attack head-on, and when Mogu divided his forces to intercept them, a third team suddenly appeared from the night. Fortunately, Storm City finally has the advantage of being outnumbered, and it is not enough to mess up the arrangement of this strange army in Sur City.

But Mogu didn't expect that this third team was still a false move, even if this team was composed of the flame soldiers that Mogu feared the most. When Mogu thought that he could withstand the attack of Sur City, the fourth team led by Lucy quietly attacked the material dumping point, which was a big surprise to Mogu. After seeing the power of the Flame Warriors during the day, as soon as these soldiers appeared tonight, Mogu focused his attention on them. Unexpectedly, this time the flame soldiers acted as bait, so that he was not prepared for the fourth team.

Soon, the supply point blew up a few of Lucy's hands/mines. When Mogu arrived, the soldiers were fighting the fire, and the supplies they could bring were already gone, and the little food left was not even enough for tomorrow's breakfast. At this time, Mogu realized that the large number of people was sometimes a burden.

At dawn, the white-collared herd retreated. Mogu took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Sur City, and the brutality of this attack was still better than yesterday, and from the powerful offensive of Storm City, Roy could feel Mogu's anger. The city of Sur was fully defended, and this time even the inhabitants of the city were mobilized. After a hard battle, Stormtown still failed to return, but the walls of Sur City were also in danger.

Several sections of the wall have collapsed under the fierce attack of the enemy, and although emergency repairs are being carried out at the moment, Storm City's next attack will definitely use this as a breakthrough point to expand the results of the battle.

Retreating to the camp, Mogu let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and the Thunder Knight returned to Storm City to ask for supplies. Roy expected Mogu to do this, so he arranged for Belmode to intercept it. However, Mogu had a heart this time, and he sent five or six horsemen in a row, and set off according to different routes. After all, the Sur City side couldn't distribute it in the hands of men, and even with a master like Belmode, it still allowed a Thunder Knight to cross the blockade line.

Over the next few days, Storm City's offensive slowed down. As Mogu continued his assault on the city of Sur, he had to send some of his soldiers into the wilderness and forests in order to hunt wild beasts to satisfy his hunger. But in doing so, it was attacked by Shiro and other beasts. After dropping dozens of corpses, the hunting party returned to the camp, bringing back not enough food for a single meal.

For this, the soldiers of Storm City had to tighten their belts.

The balance of the battle was slowly tilting, and Mogu could only hope for material support from Storm City for now. If he can't wait for any more support, he can only choose to retreat.

As the battle began to stalemate, a team passed through the Wind-Eroded Canyon and headed in the direction of Sur City. Alan rode on his horse, remembering that when he passed the exit of the canyon just now, the original stronghold of Storm City was empty.

This was quite unusual, he thought that when he passed through the stronghold, there would be a little friction. But now, Storm City seems to have withdrawn from this stronghold. What's going on here?

As he pondered the possibility, the sound of horses' hooves rang in his ears. Alan looked up, and Regis was riding his horse. This guy can't bear the loneliness of the journey, and always breaks away from the team from time to time and gallops wildly. Alan was also happy to let him be a scout, and when he saw that he had left not long ago, he ran back, only to feel that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, Regis came to Allen's side, pointed his hand forward, and said, "Guess what I found over there?" ”

"One team, the team of Storm City." R1058
