Release that Witch - Chapter 1000

[Chapter 982 A Coinciding War]

“What exactly is going on?”

In the central big tent, the atmosphere in the air seemed quite dignified. Commander Iron Ax stared at the map on the long table, a deep furrow formed between his brows, “There is neither a red line nor a sign. Could it be that so many devils are out of thin air? Did it come out?”

Although the alarm was sounded at the first time, and the combat units of the First Army were already in their positions, confusion and anxiety still permeated everyone’s hearts.

You know, this was an accident that happened under Sylvie’s vigilance. If there were no witches, wouldn’t this battle be unnecessary?

If the enemy can suddenly appear eight kilometers away, will they appear directly in the camp next time?

If this issue is not investigated clearly, no one can rest assured.

Outside the tent, the fortress guns, which had been silent for half the night, roared again, and the rate of fire increased to the peak—now there is no need to save shells, the most important thing is to reduce the enemy’s effective strength as soon as possible.

“Even if it is conjured up, it’s impossible,” Agatha said decisively, “Red mist is a necessity for devils to survive, and this has not changed, otherwise they would have swept the entire world long ago. Now the number of enemies is close to 10,000 , there is no supply red line, let alone a battle, they will be killed if they run over!”

“According to the previous information, the scale of this outpost can support the activities of more than a thousand devils at most,” Iron Ax pondered for a moment, “According to what you mean, there is still a supply point near us, but the magic eye has not found it.” exist?”

“That’s all I can think of—”

“No, there is another possibility,” Edith interrupted, “Since we can make the supply line disappear from the surface, maybe the devil can think of it.”

“Dig a tunnel from the ruins of Taquila?” Agatha shook her head again and again, “Let’s not talk about whether they have obtained worm carriers, just a passage for more than ten thousand devils to move is not a small project, which is different from their initial appearance. The time in Taquila is different. What’s more, Sylvie must be able to detect the strangeness of such a big movement.”

“I didn’t mean to start from your hometown,” Edith leaned forward and pointed at the targets marked with crosses on the map, “What if they just start from the outpost?”

“What do you mean?” Iron Ax asked in a deep voice.

“Don’t you think…the location of the devil’s appearance is really strange?” She rolled up her drooping hair, “Think about it, if we were a regular army—whether it was a human noble or a witch empire’s army, now What will the situation be?”

Following Beidizhu’s question, everyone present turned their attention to the map.

Those who could enter the central tent were not staff officers, but military commanders and representatives of the Allied Forces. None of them were slow to respond—and soon, everyone thought of a possibility.

Suddenly there was a gasp in the big tent.

It’s just that the commotion was quickly covered up by the rumbling artillery fire outside the tent – amidst the tremors of the ground, all the participants saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

It wasn’t until the shelling subsided that dawn broke the silence and said, “You mean…the outpost is a bait set by the devil?”

According to the deduction of the conventional army, if they want to destroy this outpost, they must approach the city and launch a siege battle, which also means that they have handed over the retreat to the hands of the devil.

If the opponent reappears at this time, they will form a natural double-team formation with the Taquila ruins. Under the two-sided attack, the end of the First Army can be imagined.

The two-kilometer battlefield can just accommodate both sides in the battle. From the map, its formation is simply like a huge pocket.

“It is certain that we will definitely come?” Iron Ax asked.

Edith didn’t answer, but looked at the representative of the ancient witch – Zoe.

Compared with most people, Zoe’s expression has hardly changed, and there seems to be an indifference on his face forever, “If it is the Federation, then it will definitely take action. Letting the devil set up an outpost is tantamount to ignoring the expansion of the blood line.” , It’s suicide for a witch—the fall of a city always starts with being unable to stop the enemy’s expansion.” She paused, “It’s just that they have never done this before.”

“The times are different,” Pearl of the North said, spreading his hands, “This way, it can explain a lot of problems. The devil doesn’t think that mortals can completely annihilate the horrific beast squad that threatens them, so Neverwinter must be a city of witches. That’s why we set up this trap. If we’re lucky, we can even wipe out all the battle witches who left the city. In order to let us enter the ambush circle, the devil not only gave up the attack halfway, but also took the initiative to shrink the scope of detection, for the moment when the pockets were closed—— What do you think of this hypothesis?”

“Even if that’s the case, how did the devil escape Miss Sylvie’s detection?” Sir Silt expressed his puzzlement.

“You may not know that her ability is not omniscient.” Edith replied, “If I remember correctly, there is a considerable gap between her lookout distance and perspective distance, and with the existence of dire beasts, she usually Observation can only be initiated at a limit distance—under such circumstances, the magic eye may have overlooked a large area.”

Hearing this, everyone had vaguely guessed the answer.

“Of course, I’m not blaming Miss Sylvie,” Edith sighed lightly, “it’s that we rely too much on her.”

Magic power has always been a problem that witches cannot ignore. In order to grasp the enemy’s movements as much as possible, Sylvie needs to be vigilant at all times and use every magic power carefully and carefully.

Seeing through the stratum was very expensive, especially from a long-distance bird’s-eye view from the sky, so it was obviously impossible to dig the entire fertile soil plain three feet into the ground.

According to the principle that the devil can only lurk in the red mist area, she should have only scanned the formations around the outpost—and due to the limited line of sight, the depth is not estimated to be too deep.

Agatha frowned, “We can verify this now.” Then she activated the listening sigil, “Sylvie, can you see the situation under the ground of the demon army?”

“Underground?” Sylvie, who was directing the bombardment, was taken aback for a moment, “I can try it, but the magic power…”

“It’s ok.”

“I see.” The voice on the other side of the sigil was silent for a few seconds, and then everyone heard her exclaim, “It’s strange… the sight of the magic eye is blocked-I can’t see anything, only the darkness below one slice!”

Everyone couldn’t help being silent, this result confirmed Edith’s guess from the side.

The taste of being calculated by the enemy is obviously not very good.

For a while, only the roar of artillery was left in the camp.

“Crack, crack, crack.”

At this moment, Iron Ax suddenly clapped his hands.

“My lord?” Dawn Chenguang said.

“So that’s the case, so I can feel at ease.” He slowly grinned, “Who is the prey in the end will depend on this tough battle to decide.”

“You are right, Commander-in-Chief,” Edith said with a smile, “Although they guessed the wrong opponent, the results coincided with each other. It can only be said that the luck of both sides is not bad. In other words, our Even better—isn’t it the battle we want to face the enemy head-on on the preset battlefield? The shelling in the evening prevented them from taking action in the first place, and now the devil not only lost the bait, but also faced preparations A perfect blocker, no matter how you look at it, it’s a good start.”

Pearl of the North paused for a moment, “Actually, as I said at the beginning, we don’t have to pay attention to the enemy’s intentions. No matter what they want to do, we just need to kill all who dare to show their heads-and this is exactly It’s what the First Army is good at, isn’t it?”

At the same time, the harsh siren sounded again in the camp, but this time it was much more urgent.

“Air raid warning.”

Everyone knows – they’re coming.

As the vanguard of the Horror Beasts, they have broken into the strike range of the First Army.
