Chapter 1398: Something Seems Strange
When he received the order to "pursue as fast as possible", the commanders of the 30,000-strong "special forces" all had bitter faces, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to grit their teeth and lead the army to chase after them desperately. It is also strange to say that they have traveled hundreds of miles and regained no less than ten large and small cities, but they have never encountered any effective counterattack from the "routed" enemy army. Slowly, even the commander-in-chief of the 30,000-strong "special forces" couldn't help but relax their vigilance.
On this day, the 10,000-strong "special forces" on three sides arrived at the place of Yima Pingchuan in three different places almost at the same time. Looking at the retreating army of the other side in front of them, the 1......0,000-strong "special forces" habitually wanted to launch a full-speed pursuit!
"Stop!" the commander suddenly shouted.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Immediately, a general asked suspiciously.
"There's something strange here......," replied the commander, somewhat uncertain.
"The terrain here is vast and flat, so there shouldn't be an ambush, right?" a general euphemistically objected.
"Yes, they have not been ambushed in the steep mountains! In this open area where ambushes are most difficult to ambush, it is even more impossible!" one of the generals agreed.
"It shouldn't be a flat ride here!"
Hearing the commander's somewhat unsatisfactory answer, a general finally realized that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, "My lord, I wonder if you notice anything strange about this place?"
"Hmph, you are a cultivator in vain!" the commander rebuked a little angrily, and then reminded, "This is a flat river, what kind of magic element should be the most vigorous and rich in reason, and what kind of magic element should be the thinnest in theory?"
"Haha......" a general said with a smile, "It's not simple, in a flat river, the natural earth magic element is the strongest!"
"Huh......" A general finally noticed that something was wrong, "It's really weird!"
"What's weird?" a general asked puzzled, "I think this earth-based magic element is still quite strong!"
"No!" the previous general retorted, "It's really weird! If you look closely, it seems that the earth-based magic elements are condensed and unevenly distributed!"
"Not only that!" the general added, "The earth-based magic elements in front seem to be all gathered on the adjacent ground, and below are unusually rich washed magic elements. ”
"Well......" agreed one of the generals, "this is really weird! there is no trace of water in front of you, so why is there such a rich washing water magic element?"
"Haha......" The deputy commander suddenly laughed loudly, "I say, are you too cautious? Although there are no rivers or lakes on the ground, it cannot be ruled out that there are undercurrent rivers underground! This is a common thing, otherwise, how can a well produce water? There is an underground water source, and there will naturally be a strong water magic element under the soil layer!"
The commander couldn't help but frown when he heard this, because this deputy of his was a bargaining chip that other factions had deliberately planted to contain him. It's just that the commander didn't expect that in wartime, this person would deliberately contradict himself without knowing the seriousness.
"Yes, yes, yes!" a general chimed in, "There must be a huge underground water source underground, so there is a strong element of water magic! It's too late, I'm afraid they'll all run out!"
"Then why is the earth-based magic element near the ground so strong and slightly disordered?" one of the generals questioned.
In fact, the generals present were almost divided into two factions, one faction supported the commander-in-chief, and the other faction supported the deputy commander-in-chief.
So, immediately, a general retorted: "What's so strange about this? Being topped by the huge water magic element underground, the earth magic element above is naturally rich and disordered?"
"And ......," added one of the generals, "this time, we've been here for a long time." Why didn't the enemy return to attack and harass as usual?"
"Haha......" A general replied proudly, "If there is no harassment, it means that there is absolutely no problem! There is a flat river here, and if you come to harass us, you will be surrounded by us and 'make dumplings'! People are not idiots, who is willing to come and 'send them to death' senselessly?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" a general chimed in, "Before, the enemy army deliberately 'harassed' and tricked us into pursuit, but we never encountered an ambush. What's more, they weren't even scared to 'harass' this time?"
"'If something is abnormal, it must be a demon!'" the commander reminded him, and then emphasized, "So, I think that for the sake of prudence, let's not rush blindly!"
"Hmph!" the deputy commander said coldly, "The headquarters strictly ordered: 'Pursue as fast as possible' in order to regain the lost territory as soon as possible. What is your intention in doing all the prevarication now?"
"This is the elite of this religion, and it is also the last hope for the revival of this religion!" the commander asked angrily, "This commander is cautious and tries his best to avoid unnecessary losses!"
"Hmph......" the deputy commander asked with an unkind expression, "what is your intention in causing our army to miss a good opportunity by being so timid?
The commander was already so angry that his face turned pale. However, the so-called "ambush" is nothing more than speculation, and there is no tangible evidence. Moreover, if there is really no ambush ahead, then he will inevitably be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and defecting because of the words of the deputy commander. Such a crime, let alone him, I'm afraid even the successor of the Pope can't afford it.
After a change in his face, the commander had no choice but to "sigh", and finally had to grit his teeth and give the order to pursue the whole line at full speed!
Among the 10,000 "special forces," the vast majority of the soldiers had relatively simple ideas, and they were already extremely anxious when they saw that the fleeing enemy army was about to cross the vast plains and enter the dense mountain and forest areas ahead. Now, when I heard that the order to "continue the pursuit" was suddenly given from above, of course, one by one rushed out with great excitement and screaming.
Don't look at these 10,000 "special forces" all wearing heavy stone armor, but their actions are extremely agile, firstly because they are all skilled fighters, and secondly, because of the special nature of this stone. Although the stone armor was indestructible and almost magically free, it was not heavy at all, and it was many times lighter than the heavy armor of the heavy armored cavalry. Although it can't be said to be as light as tissue paper, it is not much heavier than a normal sword and gun. Otherwise, how could the "special forces" of these 10,000 people keep hanging behind the army that has disappeared and are chasing and fighting fiercely?
