Arad's Sword

Chapter 649 Ambush in the Sand
"Three kilometers to the northeast and three kilometers to the northwest, there are enemies waiting. In addition, we also have a tail attached to our back, about two kilometers away."

Midi immediately issued a warning.

Obviously, these enemies are prepared and old. I am afraid that when the Pegasus convoy just entered the lawless place, they have already targeted them, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange such an impeccable ambush.

In addition, their experience is obviously very rich, and they are extremely familiar with the detection distance of the Celestial Legion.

The three groups of enemies are all ambushing outside the maximum detection distance of "one kilometer" of the Celestial Legion. When they attack at the same time, this convoy will naturally be attacked from three sides, and there is no way to fight back.

Fortunately, Midi is in the convoy.

Under the power of spiritual energy, everything is invisible.

Whether it's the diffuse dust or the howling hot wind, neither of them can form an obstacle to Midi's spiritual power.

However, the enemy's thoughts and killing intent cannot be concealed at all.

Hearing Midi's sudden warning, Licia and Finny were startled.

"It's alarmist! Even if you're a master alchemist, what do you know about war? Even the most elite soldiers of the heavens haven't noticed any abnormalities, so how can you find any problems?"

Feeney, who came back to his senses, took it for granted to refute Midi in the first sentence.

"Is there really an enemy?"

Although Licia spoke tactfully, her eyes were full of doubts.

After all, since she first "picked up" Midi, Midi has never shown any talent in combat.

In fact, in order to avoid her false golden wings being dismantled, Midi never even fought a single battle.

At this moment, he suddenly intervened in the war, and it was only natural that he would be suspected.

"Miss Licia, you sent a sentry in each of these three directions, don't you know? Although it may be a bit troublesome to do so, how about selling my face?" Midi didn't mind, and then said, "In addition, these three ambush teams are fully equipped, each with at least 40 people, including reformed fighters, healers, flame fighters, etc., the highest level is 78, so please be careful when sending out sentries."

"What? There are transformation fighters and flame fighters? There are also healers? Isn't this a whole combat unit? Why does it appear on the outskirts of this lawless zone?"

After Licia heard Midi's words, she was startled again.

But this time, the suspicion in her heart was immediately dispelled a lot.

Although the archangel didn't know how Midi detected these three groups of enemies so far away, since Midi even reported their staffing and levels, it obviously didn't look like a fake.

Besides, this place can be regarded as a battlefield in the first place, and Licia also believed that Midi would not joke around on this occasion.

"Send sentry immediately to investigate!"

Licia no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order.

Although in this lawless area full of sand and dust, the vision is very poor, and the detection skills can't tell how far away, but two to three kilometers is just a few wings for an angel.

Three angel sentinels flew out at an extremely fast speed.

Then, they flew back at a faster speed.

"There's a fully manned Cutler rebel squadron in the Northeast!"

"There is also a full enemy squadron in the northwest!"

"It's terrible, there is a squadron behind us!"

The answers of the three sentries directly proved the correctness of Midi's judgment.

The expressions of Licia and Feeney suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Three full squadrons! How could this be?"

Licia was a little puzzled.

You know, her Pegasus convoy is not the kind of logistics convoy escorted by heavy troops, but just an ordinary liaison convoy. In total, there are no more than three to 40 people, and the number is at most as large as a full-staffed Cutler convoy. Rebel squadrons are comparable.

But the other party actually sent three times as many troops for such a convoy that was only used for communication, and even carefully set up an ambush. What is going on?

Could it be that……

Licia suddenly thought of something, and looked at Midi.

If it is said that Callett took this action in order to kidnap an important alchemy master on the holy mountain in the heaven, it would make sense.

However, Midi shook her head.

"Miss Licia, you are thinking too much. The most important thing right now is not why these rebels came here, but whether we can win this battle!"

Midi said lightly.

In fact, he didn't think these rebels were coming for him at all.

After all, Midi came here for a purpose that others could never have imagined. Moreover, as an outsider who appeared suddenly, it is unlikely that the Kalet rebels would have any information about Midi.

Why these rebels set up an ambush, in Midi's view, the truth can only be known after a fight!

And all that needs to be done right now is to go all out to fight, that's all!

It can be said that, as a genius commander, Midi straightened out the whole train of thought immediately without being confused by the sudden confusion.

After being reminded by Midi, Licia immediately reacted.

"Staying here will only be attacked from three sides. There is no chance of winning. We must break through the encirclement, and then join the army of the 'Holy Maiden of Flame'. Target the enemy army in the northeast and speed up the breakthrough!"

Licia's thinking was very clear.

At a critical juncture, the Pegasus convoy also began to execute orders as quickly as possible.

In an instant, the entire convoy, from horses to carts to people, began to speed up.

However, when encountering the Kalet rebels in the northeast, Midi and the others suddenly discovered that this squadron was not only fully staffed, but also extremely well equipped.

As for Licia's side, since it was only a reconnaissance force, it was even suppressed for a moment in terms of firepower.

"Damn it, it's just 'No Feather' and 'Yuren' who don't even have wings, dare to block the way of the Celestial Legion, you are courting death!"

Feeney let out an angry roar, flapped his wings, and rushed into the opponent's camp like a thunderbolt, killing several people in an instant.

It's a pity that although his breakthrough power is considered strong, he still can't break through the defense of a squadron after all.

The two troops in the northwest and behind were not far from the Pegasus convoy. At this moment, relying on the time gained by the squadron in the northeast, they quickly surrounded them from the side and rear.

The pincer attack that Licia was most worried about was formed by the Kalet rebels.

"Although the opponent has a large number of people and is attacking from three sides, we are angels after all. We are not the ones who can be defeated by the 'featherless' and 'feathered men' by crowd tactics. We are just three times the enemy. Defeat them!"

Licia issued a resounding call to battle.

And under her encouragement, pieces of pale golden light flowed out from her huge wings to the surroundings.

This light covered the entire Pegasus convoy, making every angel's morale soar and their minds calm.

"It seems that I don't have to go out for the time being."

Midi nodded and sat in the carriage.

He didn't mean to stand by on purpose, but when the battle started, the first thing Licia did was to ask Midi to go back to the carriage.

After all, this responsible archangel has always regarded Midi as a "non-combatant" from beginning to end.

Not only that, but also an "important person" who needs protection.

Under such circumstances, how could she let Midi be on the front line?
And Midi, as the commander who had confronted Carrett's rebels many times in the previous life, can also judge the power comparison between the two sides through psychic power.

Although the Kalet rebels had a geographical and numerical advantage, with such three full squadrons, it was still unlikely to take down the Pegasus convoy commanded by an archangel like Licia.

It may be a hard fight, but in the end, the Pegasus team will be able to break through the encirclement.

With the result determined, Midi naturally hoped to avoid fighting.

At least, Midi didn't want to reveal too much of her hole cards before she and Fina and Alice confirmed the goal of living in the heavens in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, he would rather sit in the carriage and act as a bystander.

Soon, the angels and the rebels fell into a fierce battle.

Both sides are celestial beings, and both have mastered flying skills.

However, angels with wings are obviously superior in air combat, and quickly gained air superiority.

As the rebels were "feather men" and "featherless", they had to attack from the ground, and had little chance to fly up and suppress them.

However, the cooperation of these rebels is quite excellent, not only is it attacking from three sides, but also the layering of firepower is extremely clear.

Whether it is the extremely accurate point-to-point strikes of the reformed fighters, or the barrages fired by the flame fighters, they all intersect with each other, making it difficult for the angels to break through.

Licia took the lead to dive and break through several times, but all of them returned without success.

But at least, every attack of the angels will bring certain casualties to the rebels.

After all, the average level of the angels is higher, and although the equipment is not as good as the fully armed rebels, they are stronger than these rebels in terms of skills.

However, under the gradually improving situation, Midi frowned slightly.

"Huh? Something's wrong!"

Midi surveyed the entire battle situation and suddenly discovered a strange thing.

Among these Kalet rebels, a small number of people in each team did not participate in the battle. On the contrary, they left the battlefield and were arranging something at a distance.

Midi's psychic power was swept away, and he immediately discovered that these rebels were summoners by profession, and what they did was to set up three summoning arrays in the desert and start summoning!
Not only that, judging from the "chaotic magic power" gushing out of the summoning array, what these summoners are doing is "devil summoning"!
In the next moment, three extremely powerful auras shot up into the sky from three different directions!
