Chapter 76 75. Death Mission 2
In fact, Earl Mond Goss also had his own difficulties. The 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment had about 1,500 heavy armored infantry, divided into five brigades.
Among them, there are three branches belonging to the direct line of Earl Mond Goss, namely the first battalion, the second battalion, the fourth battalion, and the third battalion is a battalion composed of followers of various small lords in the earl's territory. , the Fifth Brigade is even more of a miscellaneous army. In addition to some logistics personnel, there are also young nobles with mixed qualifications who have been stuffed in from various territories. They need to pass this period of military service safely, and then return to the The family inherited the family business.
Among this group of young nobles, there are many nobles who are willing to take out some private property and buy some military merits privately, so as to add glory to their military career.
The captains of the first battalion and the second battalion are regarded as the two most important generals under the command of Earl Mond Goss, and Baron Sidney of the fourth battalion can become the captain to some extent depends on some nepotism.
In fact, Baron Sidney is also a rare and excellent general in addition to his youth and arrogance. It's just that his military career has not smoothed his edges and corners, which makes him appear to be very personable when he does things. In other words, not very gregarious.
When assigning the various teams to carry out the task of opening forest roads, what the Earl wants to do the most is to assign the third team to the foot of Moyun Ridge, and let this miscellaneous army sent by various leaders bear the wrath of the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge , so that Lord Earl will preserve his own strength to the greatest extent.
It's just that once Earl Mund Goss does this, his character will be completely ruined.
When there are benefits, such as cleaning a battlefield, performing search and rescue missions, and **** missions, they will not hesitate to send out their own troops, and once they encounter difficulties and dangers, they will push the motley troops to the top. Once or twice, everyone It's still bearable, but after a lot of times, those little lords will follow you wholeheartedly?
So this time Earl Mond Goss knew that the task of clearing the forest road would be more dangerous the closer he got to Moyun Ridge, but he could only push his own brigade to the front.
The fourth brigade broke into a trap set by the aborigines in the Dashan Pass some time ago, and was almost wiped out.
During this period, the Fourth Battalion not only added a batch of recruits, but also basically assigned the easiest tasks, but Baron Sidney completed these tasks brilliantly.
Therefore, in assigning tasks this time, Earl Mond Goss can only push Baron Sidney to the front.
Before Baron Sidney set off, Earl Mond also specially called this brother-in-law to him, and personally told him some things to be careful about. The general meaning is to be careful, not to be greedy, and always beware of sneak attacks by evil spirits .
It was under such circumstances that Baron Sidney led the fourth brigade to Moyunling.
In fact, Baron Sidney still has certain talents, otherwise, Earl Mond Goss would not be the only one who reused him among many brothers-in-law.
It’s just that Baron Sidney looked down on the natives of Handanal County before, and the action of encircling and suppressing the indigenous hunters did not attract enough attention from Baron Sidney, so the reckless Baron Sidney fell into the trap.
This operation was completely different, because the enemy in front of them was the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge, so Baron Sidney was naturally much more cautious when leading the fourth battalion up.
Baron Sidney's Fourth Brigade has more than half of veterans. These veterans have experience in fighting evil spirits. Naturally, a large number of scout teams will be sent along the way to understand the surrounding situation.
Suldak's second team is the most dazzling star team in the fourth team. Some time ago, it not only found the missing Bacarel swordsman in the mountains, but also cooperated with this famous swordsman to eradicate him. A door of evil spirits, rewarded by Earl Mond Goss.
So the unsurprising second team this time became the scout team in the advance regiment. Their team needs to rush to the foot of Moyunling first to investigate the specific situation there.
After receiving the task sent by Baron Sidney, Captain Surdak took a minimalist map and plunged into the green sea with thirteen soldiers.
…
Maybe evil spirits have occupied Moyun Ridge, so the closer you get to Moyun Ridge, the harder it will be to see those monsters haunting the forest.
In the past, I could see a few of them from a distance in the mountains, but those monsters are not fools. Seeing that there are a large number of human fighters here, they will launch suicide attacks on the crowd. Avoid danger.
It was only when I was close to Moyun Ridge that I realized that not only monsters, but also some small forest animals were much less than other places.
The second team found a huge corpse at the foot of a mountain in Moyunling. It was the skeleton of a mountain beast. It may be the owner of Moyun Ridge. This mountain beast looks like it may have been upgraded to a third-level monster, but it still cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered by the evil spirits.
The head of the mountain beast was broken into several pieces and scattered in the woodland. The body had been eaten clean by the evil spirits, and the bones were scattered all over the hillside. The woodland was severely damaged, as if it had been killed The buffalo had rampaged through the scene, and many trees had been uprooted or snapped off, and blood was everywhere in the woodland.
Seeing the tragedy in this woodland, Suldak raised his hand and signaled the soldiers of the second team to stop advancing. If they go any further, they will probably enter the sight of the evil spirit army. At present, the second team cannot defeat the evil spirits. When finding the whereabouts of evil spirits, one is to evacuate quickly, and the other is to hide quickly.
At this time, He Boqiang, who came up from behind the team, looked at Suldak.
Suldak and He Boqiang often communicate together, even with a simple look from He Boqiang, Suldak can guess the general idea.
"You mean to use the sentry scroll here?"
He Boqiang nodded.
He Boqiang also bought two sentry scrolls that were considered useless to them by the skinny old man in the magic grocery store.
It's just that no one of you thought that this time the team entering the mountain actually received the most dangerous investigation mission. Although a sentry scroll was used, dozens of silver coins fell from the fingers to the ground, but this kind of At that time, it was impossible for anyone to hold this thing tightly in their hands.
With all the members of the second team on alert, He Boqiang walked into the center of the skeleton of the mountain beast, where the remaining mountain beast was like a house-sized breastbone that fell to the ground, and the solid ribs were like a cage. , He Boqiang inserted a branch-like magic item in the middle of the sternum cage, and then withdrew.
"finished?"
He Boqiang nodded again.
"Guys, let's pull back..."
There are footprints left by evil spirits everywhere in this area, and Suldak does not intend to follow the footprints of evil spirits.
The evil spirits seem to be very unsuited to walking on mountain roads, and their bulky bodies always leave a row of clear footprints in the woodland.
The second team sneaked into this forest area, in addition to tracking the movement of the evil spirits patrolling in this area, there is also a place to find a suitable place to camp, and make preparations in advance for the follow-up cavalry regiment to enter Moyun Ridge...
