Chapter 524 - Repeating Crossbows
They were over a basin with an open view after flying past the mountain.
The basin was bigger than they expected. Even if they’d had twice the number of soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to search every corner of it.
Jiang Chen saw four teams of the middle troop flew into different directions.
To deploy a monitoring ward, I suppose, Jiang Chen thought to himself. The basin was so big that they had to deploy a ward in the east, west, north and south to create a dynamic map so that they would know where those cities were located.
“Red Flame Battalion, Holy Arrow Battalion, come with me!” Zhao Wenhao suddenly said.
Not only him, but also the other generals of the middle troop gave orders to the eight battalions of the lower troop.
They were going to act with one middle troop and two lower troops as a team.
“It isn’t the crossbows that are powerful, but the energy they’re carrying,” the commander of the Holy Arrow Battalion said, holding an arrow in hand. “Their paths can continue forever.”
“Bring me the Dragon Protecting Shield…” Zhao Wenhao ordered decisively.
But he realized immediately that the shield was on the warship, and being blocked by the wall of blue lights, they couldn’t retrieve it at all.
“Is this what the Dragon Rebel Army was aiming for?” Zhao Wenhao murmured, giving the two battalions a look.
“There will be a desperate battle after the crossbows land. I hope we can destroy the recurring crossbows in the city with the least damage. Whoever has a countermeasure for the current situation will be awarded 30,000 war merit points!”
Both battalions were excited, but at the same time, they found it tricky.
While the Holy Arrow Battalion racked their brains, Qiu Yan heard Jiang Chen speaking to her.
She came forward to say, “Let the Red Flame Battalion handle it!”
“Okay. What do you need then?” Zhao Wenhao wasn’t interested in what method they would use. On the battlefield, only the results mattered to him.
“When the recurring crossbows are stopped, help us fend against the enemy trying to attack us,” said Qiu Yan.
“That’s it?” Zhao Wenhao was surprised. The Red Flame Battalion hadn’t asked for anything. They must have been very confident.
“Don’t push yourselves too hard. I don’t want the Red Flame Battalion to suffer any more losses,” Zhao Wenhao said uneasily.
The Red Flame Battalion had such a task ahead after already having lost so many people. The others just couldn’t rest assured.
The Holy Arrow Battalion looked as if they were waiting for a good show.
The Red Flame Battalion were used to showing their mettle like this. There had seemed to be no difficulty they couldn’t conquer, but after so many tragedies, their Cooling Formation had to have lost its power.
Weren’t they courting death in order to impress people in such a situation?
Or did they actually have a good countermeasure?
The Red Flame Battalion wasn’t verbose. The fire cloud changed, then it fell straight down, like flames from heaven.
It was simple and violent, and they didn’t have sufficient men. Of course it made people uneasy.
