Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 596: Sharp Weapons of War (1)

'"Get up, boys. Don't be lazy. Get ready. We're going to do something big later. Lord Lance wants to see our performance. If I find out who's a coward, I'll poke him in the butt with this thing!" Hilo shouted loudly in the camp and waved the well-crafted sword in his hand to play an important role.

Following the general's orders, the subordinate officers quickly mobilized their subordinates to gather their armor as quickly as possible. As the sun hung high above the sky, the army left the camp and pressed down on the defensive line of the Unicorn Legion. On this day, there was a fierce battle between the two armies. Under Xiluo's wild and bold style of command, the Blue Wolf Infantry split into several weapons and alternately charged into the Unicorn Legion's defensive line. He didn't forget to interrupt the Blood Wolf Knights to harass them, and his assists could pierce through them.

Under such a fierce offensive, the defensive line of the Unicorn Legion was repeatedly broken. However, Daniel had carefully nurtured this army. Although it was not as good as before, the quality of the soldiers was still there, and their military background could not be ignored. Under the command of the new Guild Leader, the defensive line that had been broken repeatedly closed and tightened. Increase the density of soldiers on the defensive line as much as possible to resist attacks from the enemy.

Seeing this, Xiluo rushed to his death. However, after leaving a gap in the defensive line, the unicorn soldier could only retreat helplessly after sacrificing his life to attack. In the end, the unicorn's defensive line was barely maintained, but it suffered heavy casualties. Returning to the camp, Hilo was cursed by Lance. He did not refute, but remained silent. He had his own considerations. It wasn't impossible for him to defeat the unicorn. However, the army he brought with him would surely suffer more damage than he had predicted.

The military level of the Unicorn Legion and the resilience of their soldiers made him respect this army. At the same time, he also knew that if he let go of the attack, he would be able to win in the end, but he would only be able to win miserably. If it wasn't necessary, no general would have chosen such a tactic. Lance could ignore the casualties of his soldiers, but Hilo could not. He was always a man who cherished his wings. Even so, he was often criticized for being too conservative under Rackett's command.

It was night, and the unicorn army dared to attack the camp. Shiloh woke up from his sleep and quickly organized a counterattack. However, the opponent immediately flew into the distance after his attack. When Hero sent out his pursuers, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out under the curtain of night. The artillery bombardment forced the pursuers back. Before Hilo could catch his breath, another unicorn squad attacked from another direction. Under the constant harassment of the enemy, none of Hillo's soldiers slept peacefully that night. Along with the sound of horse hooves and gunshots, Hilo finally saw the white in the east, and the pouch in the general's eyes, which had been busy all night, was somewhat black.

It was still a day of continuous battles, but today, the Unicorn Legion had adopted a strategy of retreating while battling, allowing the battle line to continue to grow longer. In the end, Xiluo, who felt that he had gone too deep, gave the order to retreat, and Lance naturally accused him of it. But Lance didn't know. Fortunately, Hilo retreated. Otherwise, if the Unicorn Legion led them deeper, they would have stepped into the enemy's trap. According to the new unicorn commander's plan, he had originally planned to lure Xiluo's army out of the camp and burn their supplies with an ambush to force them to retreat.

Unfortunately, Hilo was cautious enough, but Lance didn't know how to appreciate it.

After two days of stalemate, on the morning of the third day, Hillo's sentry quickly discovered that an unfamiliar army had joined the Unicorn Legion. The flag of the army was very similar to theirs. On the black flag, there was a snow-white wolf head. The sentinel quickly reported the news. Hearing the news, Hilo knew that it was Alan's army.

"Look, look!" In the main tent, Lance roared, "General Hillo, if you had put in more effort on the first day, we would have been sitting in Unicorn Castle drinking by now. But now, let the other side's reinforcements arrive smoothly. Now that there are more troops than us, I would like to ask you, how do you plan to fight this war?"

Faced with Lance's roar, Hilo did not change his expression. He calmly said, "Lord Lance, unless there is a great disparity between the two armies, numbers are not the main factor determining the outcome of a war." It's good that the reinforcements have arrived. Have you forgotten that Earl Rackett said that before we set off? Our main goal this time is not to truly capture the unicorn territory. On the contrary, finding out the strength of that knight is the most important goal. And now, the opportunity has come. "

"Are you an idiot? There's no reason why you can't grasp this opportunity in front of you. Even if you want to know the other party's background, you can still take down the Unicorn Castle and touch it."

"But at that time, I'm not sure that the other party thought that there was no need for reinforcements and chose to withdraw his troops." Hilo paused for a moment before continuing, "And even if we attack with all our might on the first day, even if we take down the unicorn territory, we will suffer heavy losses. If the enemy reinforcements arrive at this time, we will suffer a fatal blow."

"Lord Lance, please believe that everything I have done is for your sake and for Earl Rackett's sake."

"It's best if that's the case. Then let me admire General Hillo's performance today." Lance sneered and left.

Hilo bowed deeply until Lance left the tent for a long time before straightening up. A trace of gloom appeared on the general's face. He sighed and called for the messenger, "Have someone prepare the Flame Dragon Rifle. Today, we will take it seriously."

This time, Rackett specially took out a batch of new Flame Dragon rifles and gave them to Xiluo to carry with him. The Flame Dragon Rifle was a relatively new type of fire in the Bailey Empire. It was famous for its range, accuracy, and power, leaving other types of fire rifles far behind. If he hadn't heard that Allen's army's firepower was unusually fierce, Rackett wouldn't have been willing to take out this batch of Flame Dragon Rifles to use.

As the guns left the warehouse and were handed over to the gunman, Hilo arrived outside the camp and looked at the other camp with a telescope. One could see that on the other side of the battlefield, the enemy camp's military flag had been replaced by the black-backed white wolf flag. Xiluo's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to see that the unicorn army was retreating. This surprised Xiluo. Obviously, the other party's commander wanted to fight with the strength of his own army, but he didn't want to borrow the strength of the Unicorn Legion.

This was a very arrogant and almost foolish move. However, after studying Allen's battles, Herrera learned from the other side that the baron's tactical style would sometimes be won by a rare soldier, but he would not make such a low-level mistake. He remembered the day before yesterday that Grar had mentioned that the baron was not in the army at the moment, which meant that there was someone else in the enemy's command. If that was the case, it was also possible for the tactical style to change. josei

"Perhaps, it's an opportunity." Xiluo said softly.
