At dawn, a train fleet departed from the Thunder Fire base. Gao Lei stood at the office window and watched the convoy leave. Their destination is the Abyss of Perishing Star. This construction team will be presided over by Allen, and will build and expand the scope of the building based on the outpost left by the sword demon near the abyss before transforming it into a forward base.
Gao Leidiao gave Allen a necessary engineering team, including two engineers, several assistants and 50 engineers from the base. Of course, it is not realistic to build a forward base in a short time by relying on this little strength alone. Therefore, when needed, the soldiers of the Bian Rong Army had to act as engineers. If they want them to plan the base like engineers, of course they can't do the drawing. Transporting cement, masonry bricks are not a problem.
The three of Lucy also set off with the army, and they all have level 14 strength now. In addition to Lucy, Gao Lei officially awarded Bloy and Willick the ranks of sergeant, so that they could share some work with Allen.
This road has not been uneventful, and now is the season for dangerous species to be active. Along the way, many dangerous species looked at the team, but the breath of Allen and others made these beasts aware of the danger. Only those who do not open their eyes will attack the convoy, and the end will naturally become some corpses on the wasteland, and then they will be cleaned up for other dangerous species.
Due to the rugged roads in the Winter Evening Mountains, the convoy was difficult to move. Allen could only change his course, bypassing the west side of the mountain range, and then turned into the Ice Demon Valley. This place is different from the last time they came. The last time Ellen and the others came, it was winter, and Ice Mordor hibernated in the lair. But now it is early summer, and these dangerous species of apes appear frequently. It's just that the ice monsters are very intelligent, they just observe the team from a distance, but none of them dare to appear in the range of the team.
Allen put down the telescope.
He was behind an off-road vehicle. Just now, he witnessed at least four teams of ice monsters moving on the cliffs on both sides of the valley. Those dangerous species that are shaped like white apes are terribly quiet. It can be imagined that these guys have strict internal disciplines, but they are like an army.
After exiting the Ice Demon Valley, the convoy stopped near Perish Xingyuan. Bian Rongjun began to set up a temporary camp under Peter's order. There was only a dilapidated trestle bridge connecting the two sides of Diyuan, so it was very troublesome for people to pass. To build a forward base, you have to start with repairing the bridge. The original trestle is naturally unusable, but the frame is still there. After being fixed and expanded, the convoy can pass.
However, the engineer said that with the number of engineers in the team, it would take half a month at the earliest to complete the project. Moreover, the bridges built are only temporary. Later, they need to be reinforced or even built one or two more iron bridges to meet the needs of large-scale marches.
But this can be done after the forward base is established.
Allen found Peter and told him that the team needed to stay here for half a month, and a series of jobs were created. For example, the security of the camp is the top priority. You must know that their location is not far from the Ice Demon Valley. God knows whether those neighbors will live together peacefully.
This idea was quickly rejected by Allen.
Everything was normal in the first three days. The engineering team started to work, and the camp's outpost and defense work were also started in an orderly manner. By the evening of the fourth day, some soldiers began to find traces of ice demon activity. Not many ice demons appeared, and at most they were only four or five at once. But they seemed to be observing the camp, taking turns, and the distance was getting closer.
To this end, Allen set up a safety line. The security line is three hundred meters away from the camp. Once an ice demon crosses or even enters the security line, the sentry will be responsible for killing.
On the morning of the sixth day, Allen just got up when he heard scattered gunfire outside the camp. He changed into his clothes and walked out. Peter greeted him with a tin jug, shook the jug and asked, "Come on?"
Allen shook his head. He didn't have the habit of drinking right out of bed.
"what happened?"
"The soldier found that an ice demon had crossed the safety line and shot a few and scared the rest away." Peter took a few sips, wiped his mouth and smiled: "But I bet those guys won't stop there. Quit. These things are very cunning. They are probably testing where our bottom line is, and we will be busy soon."
Allen nodded: "Get everyone ready."
"This is natural."
At night, Allen asked the soldiers to set up searchlights on the edge of the camp, illuminating the space within three or four hundred meters in front of the camp as white. Under the light, you can see ice demons gathering. They seemed to have a deep interest in the human camp, and they got out of the Ice Demon Valley one after another, and came to gather together in the open space outside the valley. The ice demon is very quiet, and occasionally makes a squeaky cry. The voice was short, as if talking.
The atmosphere became suppressed.
After the number of ice monsters surpassed a hundred, the soldiers of Bian Rongjun all put on serious expressions, and the number of ice monsters was still increasing. Peter handed the binoculars to Allen, and they stood on a rock and could see the ice demons hundreds of meters away. In sight, some of the ice demons who had the largest number of ice demons were small, gray-haired and black-faced, and showed sharp fangs. Among them are some special ice monsters, one of which has light blue hair, and the other is larger with silvery white hair.
Alan pulled his eyes away, and at the exit of the valley where the light was not enough, there were still ice monsters continuing to drill out, seemingly preparing to storm the camp. These guys are very clever. They are close to the exit of the valley, far from reaching the safety line Allen has drawn. After gathering enough numbers, the ice demons began to advance. They did not rush into the camp like other dangerous species. Instead, they divided into several gray soldiers like an army and snaked toward the camp.
"Ready to fight." Allen said.
Peter smiled. They will be responsible for this battle. Allen plans not to intervene if there is no need, so as to get a sense of the strength of this army. He didn't pay attention to the attack of the ice demon. There were a lot of dangerous species, but they did not exceed the strength of Bian Rongjun. What's more, there are plenty of ammunition, and there are weapons such as fiery rifles/guns. If you lose all this, then you don't need to build a forward base, just return to the Thunderfire base.
There is a weak source force response in the air.
After some training at Windsor Bello, Allen is now much more sensitive to Yuanli than before. The reaction came from the ice demon. He raised his binoculars and looked at it. Those ice demon with blue fur stretched out their arms to catch on their heads. Their claws released freezing air and gradually formed cones of ice. These ice demons clasped the ice cones and threw them in a parabolic trajectory over the camp defense line like a javelin.
These are throwers, and they are good at long-range attacks in dangerous species such as ice demon. The larger ice demons are saboteurs. They have a grumpy temper and are far more powerful than ordinary ice demons. They will always smash their prey before they stop.
At this time, dozens of ice cones reached the highest point and began to fall, exploding above the defense line, and a hailstorm began. The soldiers all wear helmets, and many of them have level five or six source power. The hail damage to them is not great, but it caused a harassment. The ice demons were not ready to stop there, they continued to throw ice cones, while a large number of gray fur ice demons began to scream and attack.
The battle began.
The soldiers of Bian Rongjun began to attack after a simple stack of stones. The dense firepower net brought down a large area of ice demon. The ice demon's forward even broke the safety line and hated it on the spot. Peter still has a good hand in setting up the firepower of the camp. Under his arrangement, the firepower of the defense line takes into account the range and concentration of the attack, which makes frontal attacking opponents suffer.
But if you consider attacking from both sides because the frontal firepower is too fierce, so far, the fairly quiet wings will surprise the opponent. Because on the two wings of the defense line, Peter deployed there but armed with fiery rifles/guns. Although they were few in number, their firepower was not at all inferior to the front.
The ice demon did not divide its troops.
Throwers no longer throw ice cones in vain, and light lines of source power are lit up on their bodies, and their claws continuously release freezing air. The freezing air sprayed onto the battlefield and met the heat of the battlefield, immediately forming a large ice mist. These mists became the last cover of the ice demon, which even Peter was a little surprised. Under the cover of the ice mist, the ice demon began to attack the weakened firepower net.
Those saboteurs were even more fierce. They charged with the ice demon, covering their head and face with both hands, directly rushing through the barrage, and leaping towards the soldiers behind the cover. Jumping into the air, the saboteur's arms widened, and the freezing air hovered between his claws, quickly forming a puck full of spikes. Holding the ice puck and smashed it down, even if the soldier rolled away in time, he was still injured by the sharp ice flakes that splashed when the ice puck burst.
The line of defense is slightly chaotic.
Peter snorted and ordered the officer to take action to clear out the saboteurs as quickly as possible. Although the saboteurs were fierce, they were still not the opponents of those tenth-level veterans, and soon these big guys turned into corpses. At the same time, the soldiers threw explosive hand/thunder on the battlefield. In addition to harvesting large pieces of ice monsters, the hand/thunder also blown away the ice mist at the same time. Became bad.
Seeing this, Allen knew that if the ice demon had no reinforcements, or a high-rank alien species appeared, the outcome of the battle would be almost predictable.
Perhaps it meant that no benefit would be gained by attacking again, and the ice demon began to retreat. When these guys retreated, there was no confusion. Some ice demons continued to attack the line of defense and were responsible for breaking, so that the others of the same kind could escape safely. Of course, the ice demon that was left behind eventually turned into a corpse.
After the battle, the soldiers cleared the battlefield. The corpses of the ice demon, especially those destroyers, although they have not yet formed the source jade, they also have valuable parts. The claws of the ice demon are precious. The crampons of the thrower and the saboteur are all sequence materials used to drive the ice abilities. Collected can be exchanged for certain military merits.
When Allen turned to leave, he suddenly felt something, and violently raised his telescope to look in the direction of Ice Demon Valley. Just above the valley, under the moonlight peculiar to Pluto, a peculiar figure appeared under the moonlight. r1058
