Chapter 2824 Observation and Memorials

Chapter 2824 Observation and Rhythm

"Commander, wild boar-men spotted ahead!"

A goblin rogue with the game ID "Buttocks with Dates" darted back from the front and said in a flash, "A whole army of boarmen! There are at least five hundred boarmen clearing the way!"

Eunuch Cao glanced one last time at the message board in the corner of his vision, then slowly stroked his chin and leisurely corrected, "Now you should call our captain, Little Jujube."

Jujube on the buttocks paused for a moment, then asked in bewilderment, "Is this the time to talk about this, Commander?"

"Any questions?"

Eunuch Cao casually asked a question, then drew the two long swords gleaming coldly from his waist and said calmly, "We are the elites carefully selected by Brother Hei Fan. If we panic and fall into chaos because of a few wild boar-men, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of the Embroidered Spring Blade?"

Turnip twitched the corner of her mouth and whispered, "Honestly, I think with your style, Commander, there's no reason for our [Brotherhood of Blades] to be ruined."

"You're superficial, but I don't blame you."

Eunuch Cao glanced at Turnip, then slowly turned his head to look at the dark, dense, disorganized, and undisciplined figures in the distance. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Men, Brother Black Fan has given orders: the [Embroidered Spring Blade] team is to immediately establish an ambush zone on the spot and intercept any possible supply convoys from the Steelmane Tribe!"

The eagle gently patted Dudu's head, causing its griffin companion to land back on the ground, and then drew its longsword: "But the plan is to intercept any potential supply convoys... but the reality is, they're practically right in front of us."

"So, we only have one thing to do."

Eunuch Cao's lips curled slightly, and then he flicked his long sleeves, unleashing a burst of energy that knocked out two boar-man scouts dozens of meters away: "Come and kill us!"

Having said that, Eunuch Cao turned and flashed out like a whirlwind. The blades of his twin swords, hanging on the ground, slightly shifted, and in an instant, he decapitated the two boar-men scouts lying on the ground. In the next instant, he touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air—

"Give it to us! We'll die!"

The next instant, a burst of dazzling blood spread out. When Eunuch Cao landed, more than a dozen boar warriors lay stiffly on the ground, each with a fatal knife wound on their throat that almost tore their necks apart.

"hiss!"

The eagle gasped, instinctively whispering, "The Grand Eunuch is mighty!"

"Stop being so imposing, just get on the field."

Iron Head clicked his tongue and strode forward, saying without turning his head, "These boar-men can't take a beating. If the leader gets carried away killing them, our mission contribution points will be absolutely terrible. Instead of wasting time talking, we should hurry up and grab the boar's head!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue and Ren Ming's eyes immediately sharpened, and they rushed forward anxiously, fearing that the enemy would die too quickly under the power of the eunuch, leaving them without even a sip of soup.

"Ugh, these stupid men."

The relatively calmer Turnip covered her face and sighed, then turned to her teammates behind her and said seriously, "Flanking attack formation, cover the leader and the others, ranged fire suppression, melee to disrupt the battle line, healers prioritize those other than the leader, everyone go!"

Thus, although they were not as professional as the elite group of professional players, the core members of [Embroidered Spring Blade], who were still above the average level of players, rushed forward and, under the command of Turnip, attacked the battlefield from both flanks.

"Cheetah, I'll leave the aerial reconnaissance to you."

Rather than competing with everyone for contribution points, Turnip seemed more concerned with ensuring that the orders from above were perfectly implemented. She breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled slightly at Eagle: "If you find any fish that might have escaped, just send me a message and we'll arrange for someone to handle them."

"Ah, um, okay."

Almost bewildered by the turnip's sweet smile, the eagle nodded vigorously, then patted its partner Dudu, and soared into the sky amidst the griffin's clear cry, simultaneously tearing open a scroll of [Eagle Eye Technique] to bring the entire battlefield into its field of vision.

Admittedly, in the current world view, the most common scouts are those of professions such as rangers and thieves, but most people know that the most suitable and appropriate role should be played by 'air units'. Even if their stealth may be slightly lacking under normal circumstances, air units have a unique advantage in terms of both mobility and vision.

Among aerial units, the 'Air Knight' is the most suitable for taking on important tasks. The reason is simple: the 'Knight' class is relatively durable.

It's important to know that although mages have a high probability of gaining the ability to fly by using wind or earth elements (repulsion) after reaching a higher level, and many orcs are born with wings that can soar through the sky, they are much more fragile, that is... easy to die.

Leaving aside the mage's fragile body, let's take Ji Xiaoge, a winged half-orc, for example. Although they are indeed fast, agile, and good at flying, they are not naturally suited for heavy armor classes. If they force themselves to train, not only will they achieve half the result with twice the effort, but their agility and flight speed will also be greatly reduced. They may even encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to fly no matter how much they flap their wings.

Furthermore, Ji Xiaoge personally tried it out and said that "wings cannot be trained," personally confirming that it is difficult for winged people to "toughen" their talents, such as making their wings muscular and eventually being able to lift their main body which is armed like an iron can.

Of course, there are a few exceptions. For example, when Mo Tan is in the state of [Reverse Scale - Full Release], the pair of dragon wings on his back are not only extremely powerful, easily moving his body which is armed in heavy armor, but also have extremely strong hardness and sharpness. When they are in front of him, they are like two shields, and when they are spread out diagonally, they are like two guillotines. They can be described as a combination of strength, speed and endurance, making him a true polygonal warrior.

There's also the awakened dragon that has activated [Royal Mysterious Vermilion Bird Flame]. The pair of fire wings on its back have an extremely high load-bearing capacity. Moreover, as wings without a physical form, they can even ignore physical attacks to a considerable extent. In addition, with its 'rebirth' trait, the awakened dragon that flies with this thing is not only not fragile, but its ability to withstand blows will actually be taken to a higher level.

However, as we just mentioned, these are all 'special cases'!
In legion-level operations, such 'special cases' cannot be taken into consideration at all.

Otherwise, most epic-level powerhouses are basically able to fly and are tough to beat, so are we going to make them all scouts?

This is neither reasonable nor realistic.

This is why eagles, which are not treated as important resources and given special treatment like epic-tier combat units, yet possess sufficient toughness, are generally very popular in the military. The overall strength of the [Embroidered Spring Blade] team will also leap to a higher level due to the presence of eagles.

"It's completely one-sided..."

Bathed in the cool evening breeze, the eagle squinted contentedly, leisurely circling in the air on Dudu while keeping a close eye on the battle below. Although the enemy was destined to suffer a terrifying defeat of hundreds to zero, the possibility of some enemies escaping was not small. In addition, the boarmen were generally not the kind of tough guys who would fight to the last moment, so he remained vigilant.

Unfortunately, this vigilance seemed somewhat unnecessary. Given the generally mediocre quality of this boarman team, and the fact that [Embroidered Spring Blade] had a top-tier player like Eunuch Cao, in the end—

……

"The first supply team of the Steelmane Tribe located on the 'C2' line tonight has been completely wiped out. A total of 825 guards were killed by the [Embroidered Spring Blade] squad. A total of low-quality dry rations and drinking water enough to support 2,000 Boarmen for three days were intercepted."

On the second floor of Skolsk Hall, Romeo, who had already added Eunuch Cao as a friend as a temporary contact and completed the post-war statistics, grinned and said to Sharia, who was recording intelligence in sync, "An exhilarating victory, isn't it?"

“An expected result.” Sharia replied casually, watching the quill pen in front of her writing furiously under the power of divine magic. “The ‘sharp blade’ units selected by Lord Black Vane are all top-notch. Although each team only has twenty people, they are all elites selected from hundreds. Their combat power is even two levels higher than that of the Gray Lizard Hunters of the same number. It is perfectly normal for them to be able to annihilate a boarman army with almost no quality and a number of no more than a thousand without any losses. In fact, it would be strange if they couldn’t do this.”

Luo shrugged and laughed, "But victory is victory, isn't it?"

"Yes, victory is victory, and I really want to be excited and encouraged by this news, but..."

Xia Liya grabbed the quill pen and quickly corrected a few typos. Then she turned to look at Mo Tan, who was leaning slightly forward and illuminating a piece in the southern part of Eagle Claw Gorge on the tactical map: "I'm more concerned about what we should do next. Although this kind of preemptive change can give us an advantage, against the Boarmen's advantage... to be honest, I really find it hard to cheer up."

Mo Tan didn't answer Xia Liya, but instead lowered his eyes to gaze at the chess piece that was emitting a warm light. After about half a minute, he belatedly looked at her and asked curiously, "What did you just say?"

Sharia: "...Are you deliberately picking a fight?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't hear what you said clearly."

Mo Tan smiled apologetically, then sat down again, leaning back in his chair and said softly, "As for what we should do next, it doesn't really depend on us, but on the other party."

Sharia was furious: "...Didn't you hear what I said?!"

"Yes, I didn't hear you clearly."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and casually said, "But I guessed it."

"..."

Xia Liya paused for a moment, then swallowed the profanity back down, took a deep breath, and said in a dry voice, "So you're saying it depends on the other party? What do you mean? Didn't you say before that you wanted to take the initiative?"

"We have gained the initiative."

Mo Tan lowered his eyes to look at the scattered chess pieces on the terrain map, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "A total of 280 people in 14 interception squads, each of them is in the position I want them to be active. This is our move in this round, and the results Romeo just reported back are our move. Now, let's see how they respond."

Xia Liya scratched her head and rolled her eyes slightly: "I think you can completely remove the word 'we'. At least strategically speaking, none of us can keep up with you. We're completely being led by you."

"But you have done everything I asked you to do, and that is enough."

Mo Tan shook his head, then casually said, "Ultimately, I can't exactly bring Theresa Tarosa from Gospel Hill City here to help, can I?"

【! ? 】

The next moment, Yizou Jellette's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"In short, whether it's me or you, right now we just need to do our jobs well. As for anything else..."

Because of the angle, Mo Tan didn't notice the strong vigilance in Yi Zou's eyes, but said leisurely, "It's not to the point where everyone needs to rack their brains yet, but what is certain is that as things develop, there will be more and more times when you need to think, respond, judge, and make choices, so please prepare yourselves mentally in advance."

Romeo clicked his tongue and said bluntly, "If I could, I'd still prefer to keep winning with you, at most doing some manual labor."

"Let's not talk about that nonsense for now."

As Sharia rolled up the parchment she had just finished writing, she asked Mo Tan seriously, "So what kind of reaction do you want to see?"

"Any reaction is acceptable."

Mo Tan gave Xia Liya an answer that surprised her. He said softly, "So far, I still know too little about the Blood Barbarians in Eagle Claw Gorge. The lack of information will lead to errors in judgment. This is the enemy's home ground. Any error is unacceptable to us. So in order to minimize the chances of something going wrong, I need to learn more about them."

Sharia frowned slightly and asked, "You mean, you can understand them by their reaction after they discovered that the Steelmane Tribe's supply lines had been cut?"

"That's understandable."

"And can this understanding increase our chances of winning?"

"In principle, that's how it is."

"I don't quite understand."

"Fortunately, I was able to understand it myself."

"Phew, what about the investigation team east of Eagle Claw Gorge?"

"I know them pretty well."

"How to say?"

"Richard Lane and Hess Dunga are a good pair, at least for now they can keep up with my pace."

"You mean they might fall behind later?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"What should we do then?"
