A few days later, Qianye encountered a large patrol team in a campsite on the other side of the Black Mud Swamp. This time, he killed all the spider demons after a hard fight, and then returned to the swamp.

The werewolf was hunted all night long.

However, some special members of this team cast a shadow on Qianye's heart. He quickly ended the attack and prepared to return without even bothering to eliminate all traces.

The extra special member is the giant lizard beast that can move freely in the swamp. These big guys, which can reach more than ten meters in length, can crawl and swim. They are extremely powerful and their carrying capacity is several times higher than that of the giant swamp spider.

.

Qianye inspected the materials trapped on the back of the transport beast and found that the tightly packed boxes were all filled with various weapons, medicines, ammunition, battlefield food and other supplies. One of the boxes also contained twelve vampire force balls.

grenade.

It is visually estimated that each transport beast can carry several tons, and a dozen transport beasts can equal dozens of tons of supplies. The army of the dark race has never been under great supply pressure, because their food sources are abundant enough and they are good at using local materials, such as people.

Therefore, these tens of tons of military supplies were escorted by a reinforced patrol team. From this detail alone, we can roughly infer the size of the army the dark race is preparing to move through the Black Mud Swamp this time.

That's at least an army of thousands of people!

Thousands of official soldiers, not just cannon fodder!

The combat power of the formal warriors of the dark race has always been stronger than that of human warriors. In the battle of the Earth Castle, most of the dark race participating in the battle were cannon fodder. There were only a few hundred formal warriors, and they had already defeated an elite main army legion reinforcement company and expeditionary force of the empire.

A battalion of regular troops.

If the size of the army mobilized by the dark race in this direction is as large as Qianye's judgment, not to mention that Black Ni Town will definitely not be able to defend it, and even the entire Black Current City war zone will be very dangerous.

Qianye has no intention of hunting anymore, and the top priority is to pass the military information back as soon as possible. Thousands of dark warriors must be guarded by generals, not counting several times the conventional cannon fodder troops. No matter the number, equipment or strong men, the battle line here is

He would be under great pressure. He only took the box of Force grenades, then set fire to and burned all the military supplies that could not be transported, and rushed back as quickly as possible.

Three days later, Qianye returned to Black Ni Town. The first batch of a hundred soldiers from the Dark Fire Mercenary Group had already settled in the town, led by Ah Qi. Song Hu would arrive in the near future along with ammunition and supplies.

When Ah Qi saw Qianye, he was immediately startled by the backpack-like object behind him and asked: "Master, what is this?"

It was three large outdoor bags bundled together. It was almost as tall as Qianye and twice as wide. Even Qianye found it difficult to carry it. He took off the straps from his shoulders and replied: "This time

The harvest in the swamp. Find someone to come over and count it."

Ah Qi immediately called a few warriors who were good at duty. When the backpack was opened, the girls suddenly screamed. What rolled out from the first bulging bag was a pile of spider demon heads!

Ah Qi was still calm. After she screamed, she directed the soldiers to put the spider demon heads aside. Although these things looked scary, they were proof of military exploits. Each one could be rewarded with at least a dozen imperial gold coins.

gold.

What was then pulled out of the backpack were several randomly knotted small bags, and a few ears with blood stains on the fractures that had solidified fell out from the loose corners. Judging from the shape and mane, they were obviously those of a werewolf, and there were at least five of them.

Six of them also wore earrings with the logo of high-level werewolf warriors.

This time the soldier who packed his things was mentally prepared. Although his hands shook and he almost threw the small bag out, he finally did not scream again.

In addition, there are some weapons, including ten level three force guns, six or seven force weapons, and a dozen pieces of force armor. However, although there are many pieces of these things, the weapons of the dark race all require the dark force.

Only when they have the power can they fully exert their power. Therefore, in the human market, their prices are generally calibrated according to whether they have artistic value according to human aesthetics. The weapons of spider demons and werewolves have never been sold for too high a price.

Ah Qi was counting these things with a happy face. After exchanging military merits and selling supplies, he could get thousands of gold coins to maintain the basic operation of the mercenary group for several months.

Qianye was in a heavy heart. As soon as he put down his things, he went into the house to write a letter, recording what he saw and heard in the Great Swamp in as much detail as possible, and then sent a team of soldiers to the Sishui Base as quickly as possible.

, and sent the information to Wei Bainian.

At this time, Hu Wei, who had been summoned hurriedly, also hurriedly arrived. Qianye did not explain much and directly asked him to immediately start mobilizing and preparing to evacuate the townspeople.

Hu Wei was startled. The withdrawal of all members meant that the situation was serious. He didn't even ask Qianye if he had received the order from the 7th Division Headquarters. He said that he would make arrangements immediately, and then turned around and left.

, he even forgot to say hello to Qianye.

Two days later, Song Hu arrived at Heinii Town with the supplies of the mercenary group. After hearing Qianye tell him about the situation, he immediately sent people back to Heiliu City to collect load-bearing trucks. With enough load-bearing trucks, more people can be transported

and food were transported back to Heiliu City. Unheard by Qianye, Song Hu's instructions to the soldiers were to buy if they could, rent if they could, and rob if they couldn't.

But the most disturbing thing is that there is no news at all from the expeditionary force. The messenger sent by Qianye came back with one of the mercenary regiment's supply teams. They sent the news to the headquarters of the 7th Division, but Wei Bainian did not let him know.

They brought back a letter.

Fortunately, there is still some time. The environment of the Black Swamp is really harsh. At the marching speed of the regular troops of the dark race, it will take at least ten days to cross the great swamp. Most of the campsites were destroyed by Qianye before. Even if the dark race gets the news,

If you send someone to supplement immediately, your trip will inevitably be delayed.

A week passed, and Qianye finally received news from the expeditionary force.

When the brigade of troop transport trucks appeared outside Heini Town, Qianye thought he was dazzled. The winding convoy stretched as far as the eye could see, filling the only road outside the town. There were nearly a hundred troop transport trucks alone, and other material vehicles

There were dozens of them. Qianye even saw ten heavy cannons towed by trucks!

The size of this army is nearly 3,000, and it is almost an organization of more than two regiments. Based on the current situation of the 7th Division, except for the necessary guard forces in the two cities and the front line, I am afraid that all the main forces capable of fighting are in sight.

.

Wei Bainian jumped off the off-road vehicle and immediately frowned at the stench that hit his face.

Seeing Wei Bainian, Qianye jumped off the town wall, approached him, and asked in surprise: "General Wei, why are you here too?"

Wei Bainian said: "I read your letter. There are thousands of regular dark warriors here, and they can't be stopped no matter what. I'll move the main force of the 7th Division over, and give those black-blooded bastards a blow at the exit of the Black Swamp.

Seriously, give them a surprise! The size of the campsite in the swamp is limited, so they can only come out in batches and defeat them one by one. There are not many good opportunities like this!"

Qianye was slightly startled. After thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that what Wei Bainian said made sense. He had seen the scale of those camps with his own eyes. Even if the dark race did not bring cannon fodder, they would not be able to bring thousands of regular soldiers over at once.

However, he was still a little worried and asked, "What about the frontal defense line?"

Wei Bainian said: "Let the existing troops defend. With so many people coming from the Black Marsh, most of the other front lines in the theater will only encounter feint attacks. Most of them will be cannon fodder troops. It may be harder to fight, but we can still defend.

Keep it."

Qianye was still a little worried: "What if the number of troops there exceeds expectations?"

If the frontal battlefield is broken through, even Blackstream City may be lost. This battle zone is equivalent to a defeat of more than half. What is the point of destroying the Black Marsh side?

Wei Bainian said calmly: "I have read the war history of the defense area these days. Sanhe County is originally barren, with no natural resources and no important strategic value. Heiliu City is in the middle and lower reaches of Sanhe County." He looked at it.

He looked at Qianye and said with a smile: "Although Wu Zhengnan is one of the most troublesome people in the expeditionary force, the battle zone of the 7th Division has always been only a third-rate defense zone."

Qianye sighed inwardly. It seemed that the Wei family had thoroughly investigated Wu Zhengnan. His subsequent growth probably relied mainly on underground trade, and he only maintained his position in the war zone.

"Think about it, there are neither resources nor strategic value here. How could the dark race throw their army into such a place? In addition, if the front line really cannot be defended, then there is no point in sending heavy troops there.

"

Qianye immediately understood that if the dark race also invested a large army in the frontal battlefield, then once it joined forces with the troops coming out of the black swamp, it would definitely be a huge force that the 7th Division could not stop. By that time, if the expeditionary force's overall strategic deployment

If we don't send more troops here, even Blackstream City won't be able to defend it. We can only continue to shrink the defense line and retreat to the county town with more solid and complete facilities.

Wei Bainian asked Qianye to walk with him into the town, briefly talking about his thoughts on the way.

Wei Bainian's intention in this battle is very clear, which is to deploy all the main forces in Heini Town, take advantage of the opportunity when the dark race has to succumb to the terrain and divide its troops, and surprise this group of troops to defeat them first. Only in this way can we win the next battle.

Opportunity.

This idea is very bold.

When he walked into the conference room of the mayor's hall, Wei Bainian finally couldn't help but sniffed and complained: "Why does this place stink like this?"

Qianye smiled and said: "This is the unique odor of the Black Swamp, probably mixed with hundreds of smells. But this is not a bad thing, for us it just smells a bit unpleasant. But for werewolves and vampires

, which is equivalent to directly destroying their extremely sensitive sense of smell. Although the spider demons are more adaptable, their perception will also be reduced in the black swamp."

Wei Bainian immediately laughed, patted Qianye on the shoulder and said: "Now I suddenly feel that this tastes really good!"

The racial advantages of the dark race at night and in perception are too great. Interfering with their sense of smell is equivalent to weakening part of their combat power.

Wei Bainian took out a military map, spread it out on the table, and pointed out a few places for Qianye to see. The map was densely marked with symbols, and it turned out to be the complete defense map of the 7th Division.

Wei Bainian said: "This will be the weak link in the theater's defense line in the future. After the battle here is completed, you can choose one or several places to garrison, and the remuneration will be increased by 30% on the current standard."

Qianye looked at the map carefully and raised his eyebrows slightly. Finished the fight here? Do you want to disarm or change defenses?

Wei Bainian smiled and said: "There is another job, see if you are interested. This place was originally a small mine with some output. Now it is occupied by some defeated troops of the 7th Division. I don't have it."
Chapter completed!
