The setting sun is blood-red, and the sunset is lonely and round.

Alatus sat outside the tent, looking at the orange-red sunset in the west and eating big bites of the roasted leg of lamb. It seemed that the broken arm had no effect on him at all.

Now is dinner time. The soldiers gathered together in circles, enjoying the fragrant and rotten meat in their mouths.

The sunset and gentle breeze made them forget the march and battle, and everyone couldn't help but relax and enjoy the precious time of leisure.

The soldiers surrounding them were slurping their food and swearing at the same time.

"What bad luck! This border town is full of soldiers, and there's not even a woman to be seen!"

"Hey, why rush? Once we capture their fortress, we'll get a lot of gold coins and women!"

"But you know what, the enemy's long-range weapons are really powerful, much more powerful than our bows and arrows."

"Magic equipment~ It should be quite expensive, but it's a pity that it can't be used after a few hits."

............

They gathered together in groups, chatting, some of them holding picked-up automatic rifles, but they didn't seem to understand how to install bullets...

This cheerful atmosphere lasted for a while, but suddenly someone was stunned and had a strange look on his face.

"and many more!"

He shouted, and for a moment everyone's eyes turned to him, looking at his somewhat strange expression.

"Did you guys hear any sound?"

The noisy environment became quiet, and the rustling sound of the leaves in the wind reached everyone's ears.

Even Alatus, who was sitting there eating a leg of lamb with his only remaining hand, stood up, squinted his eyes, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"What the hell?"

With his legendary physical fitness, he could barely see the three strange flying creatures still in the distance.

The two wings were spread straight out on both sides, motionless, but it was gliding towards them at a high speed.

He had never seen such strange things before, but he felt a little relieved. They were just three little birds.

Just as Arathus was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly widened his eyes and realized, how could a gliding bird make such a loud noise?

And looking at them, the creatures that were as blurry as beans just now have now become the size of fists.

What kind of creature can fly so fast?

Alert, Alatus dropped the lamb leg in his hand, drew his giant broadsword, and shouted: "Everyone be on guard, they are coming this way!"

In just over ten seconds, the three strange birds were almost above their heads.

At this moment, everyone looked up, stunned by something they had never seen before. The setting sun shone on their cheeks, giving them a dreamlike feeling.

The strange birds were flying very high, probably several hundred or thousands of meters, but soon two of them pounced towards them.

It was only then that Alatus realized that these were not the so-called strange bird creatures at all. There were clearly two people sitting inside the strange bird's head. This thing was controlled by humans! !

Suppressing the trembling in his heart, Alatus roared, "Enemy attack! This is the enemy!"

Suddenly, everyone was startled, and before they could react, two lines of flames suddenly shot out from the big bird's mouth.

Looking at these two familiar lines of fire snakes, everyone knew the power of this thing.

Almost instinctively, the soldiers of the Ashura Empire ran away in all directions in fear.

But there was no cover on all sides, and the fire snake fell down instantly, followed by a series of puffing sounds.

This was the sound of a machine gun exploding when it hit the target. When the Asura warriors looked at the place where the fire snake hit, the courage in their hearts suddenly receded like a tide.

What a purgatory-like scene it was!

Pieces of flesh flew everywhere, and various internal organs and blood clots exploded and scattered like flames.

The big bird flew across the sky at a high speed, and the row of soldiers below turned into a bloody mess of meat.

However, they could not even touch the strange birds that were several hundred meters high. Even their invincible commander, Duke Alatus, could not pose a threat to them.

They were so fast that Alatus just hovered in the air, but his clumsy attack method could not touch the two strange birds flying by at high speed.

After two rounds of strafing, the two strange birds that made a huge roar rose in altitude, flew away rapidly, and soon disappeared at the end of the sky.

The whole earth became silent again, the setting sun was half gone, and for a moment the dim atmosphere was filled with blood, making everyone feel as if they were drowning and unable to breathe.

"Let's go, shall we?"

A soldier spoke with trembling lips, then collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Then, everyone fell to the ground, and the afterglow of fear still lingered in everyone's heart for a long time.

What they feared was not the cruel scene, but the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the enemy. They were like a group of lambs trapped in a sheepfold, unable to put up any resistance at all.

Alatus used his only remaining right hand to insert the broadsword into the scabbard on his back. After a moment of silence, his eyes became firm again.

He must not retreat; his king would not tolerate deserters.

After taking a look around, Alatus said in a deep voice: "Pack up your weapons and go into the mountains overnight!"

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

"This is Blue Dragon II. The shooting mission was successful. We are returning to restock our ammunition. Over!"

After reporting the mission, Kul finally couldn't help but open the communication channel and cheered for his comrades.

"This is really great! I don't know if you noticed, man, I deliberately found a place with the most people to shoot, I don't know how many beasts I killed!"

"Hey! I was originally planning to shoot at your area, but when I saw you were there, I changed my location. I still killed a lot of enemies though."

"But that's not enough. These beasts are here to slaughter us. His Majesty Bai Yan said that the territory of the Bai Yan Empire must not be trampled upon!"

"Don't worry, we will never lack victories again."

Dawn Fortress, strategic command room.

Luo Lan sat upright at the long table, her two pairs of white thighs crossed together, her porcelain white hands resting on her chin, quietly looking at the sand table in front of her.

He had just received news that the 9th and 10th Divisions had entered Xiaoji Mountain and were moving forward stealthily under the cover of night.

The reconnaissance pictures from the aircraft were also transmitted back, showing that the enemy was still half a day's journey away from Xiaoji Mountain.

After this air raid, they will inevitably rush into the mountains, probably entering the mountains late at night around 2 a.m.

"Two o'clock, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse." Roland murmured, stood up, picked up the red enemy flag, and placed it on Chicken Hill.

Then they picked up the flags of the 9th and 10th Divisions located on the hillsides on the east and west sides of Xiaoji Mountain and slowly surrounded the back half of the entire Xiaoji Mountain.

She stood up and walked to the window. Her neat general's uniform made her already tall and slender figure look even more heroic and majestic.

She half raised her head and looked at the starry sky, which was cloudless and dotted with stars.

She couldn't help but stare at the sky with a smile on her face. "Your Majesty Bai Yan, I won't let you down."

Luo Lan murmured, lit a cigarette, held it in his hand and took a puff, with a dreamy tremor in his eyes.
