CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 421: 5 CONSECUTIVE BREAKTHROUGHS
Early in the morning, Kreya and her team left the camp, leading the soldiers to follow Yoyo’s guidance as they advanced slowly.
In this operation, they needed to maintain stealth while ensuring speed.
Cotton Candy was always above them, with Meizike constantly observing the surroundings.
He had to report the large troop formations he saw to Yoyo so that Yoyo could replann the route to help them avoid the enemy’s soldiers.
They safely and covertly reached outside the enemy camp.
"I see the enemy, roughly 4 kilometers in front of us on the left, with over 2000 people."
Hearing Meizike’s report, Yoyo paused for a moment.
Then, in that instant, he replanned the route.
"Go this way."
Last night, Yoyo had taken a detour through this side.
Kreya and her soldiers followed closely, maintaining silence despite their numbers, and gently advanced on their horses.
Under Meizike’s guidance and Yoyo’s route planning, they successfully avoided all enemy troops and by the afternoon, reached the outskirts of a camp.
At this time, more than half of the camp’s soldiers and their leader had already left in the morning.
In a gray cloud, a white cloud suddenly appeared above the camp.
Below the cloud was a blue eye, with an eagle-like pupil, gazing around.
Meizike was carefully observing the number of soldiers in the camp and their strength.
"There are approximately 2200 people in the camp, 400 of whom are ordinary individuals, with 1800 soldiers at the copper level, and not a single silver among them."
Kreya and her troops were currently lying in ambush about 1 kilometer outside the camp.
A patrol of soldiers was walking towards their direction.
After hearing Meizike’s report, Kreya nodded, finally telling Liru: "Liru, eliminate that patrol without anyone noticing, and do not alert others."
Hearing Kreya’s words, Liru nodded and then disappeared with a flash.
Not far away, the patrol soldiers were struck by several rainbow-colored beams. They began to transform and shrink, wanting to shout something but found they couldn’t utter a sound.
Then, flashing rainbow-colored pentagrams hit them.
Just like that, the patrol vanished without a sound, turning into dust on the ground, without the enemy even noticing.
Meanwhile, Kreya had the crossbowmen and close combat soldiers spread out, surrounding the entire camp and letting no one escape.
She then stood up as 30 ghost centaur cavalry, identical to her in size, appeared beside her.
With her movement, the remaining cavalry stood up behind her.
Kreya directly drew the flying wing twin swords, combined into a longsword, and shouted at the camp ahead: "Attack."
This was both a command and a clarion call.
All the soldiers felt an enhancement in physical strength and a quickening of their pace.
The knights charged forward, and the thunderous sounds of their galloping alarmed the soldiers in the camp.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Although the camp soldiers were slightly panicked, they quickly gathered.
In front of Kreya’s charge was a wooden wall and chevaux de frise.
A gray stone giant, over 5 meters tall, descended from the sky, crashing into the wooden wall.
Its arms were as massive and mismatched as gorilla limbs, wielding a weapon like a toy, demolishing the wooden wall and chevaux de frise in Kreya’s path.
Kreya and her troops charged through the path cleared by Longbei, directly into the camp.
The heavy cavalry and light cavalry swiftly harvested the lives of surrounding soldiers, while the bow riders behind them ceaselessly shot arrows at the enemy.
Kreya led her ghost soldiers in a rampage through the camp, with no soldier able to harm them, as those capable had long been taken to attack the fortress.
Of course, some soldiers escaped from the camp, intending to report back to the main force about the attack on the camp.
However, the camp was already surrounded, and those who escaped were shot down by crossbow arrows from the surrounding forest.
No soldier escaped.
No one survived.
The camp began transitioning.
"Now, those free should collect the spoils; once gathered, rest on the spot, and after the transition is complete, we’ll head to the next enemy camp right away."
Hearing Kreya’s command, all the soldiers took action.
Longbei and Liru also began collecting spoils.
Meizike was tasked with treating the injured soldiers.
Everyone was doing their part, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
To save time, Kreya had Longbei lead the infantry to the next camp ahead.
When Kreya and her team completely occupied the camp, they would follow with the cavalry swiftly.
Converting the first captured camp to a red-and-white scheme took less than two hours.
At that moment, it was only the afternoon, nearing dusk.
By now, the force attacking the fortress might have just gathered.
They wouldn’t know that the camp behind them had already fallen.
Nor would they know who was the unfortunate one.
Kreya, with the remaining cavalry, quickly followed Longbei’s trail.
By dusk, Kreya and her troops had already reached the second camp.
They repeated their previous strategy, employing the same tactics on the camp.
As it turned out, for these camps that were roughly the same, such tactics could be completely replicated.
This time, under the sudden assault, it was again a one-sided massacre.
After the entire camp was captured, Kreya did not rashly let Longbei continue to advance, but rested on the spot and distributed the supplies from the space equipment.
First eat and restore physical strength, then proceed to the next battle.
The 600 soldiers who first followed Kreya had already completely reached the silver level.
And the newly recruited soldiers also gained certain enhancements.
When the entire camp transformed into red and white, it wasn’t long before Kreya and the others finished all their food, and the soldiers had recovered a lot of strength.
"Form up and advance, continue to assault the next camp."
With Kreya’s order, the troops set off once again.
No soldiers obstructed them along the way, and they no longer needed to move stealthily. Instead, they boldly marched in a straight line towards the next camp quickly.
Meanwhile, the blue team attacking Kane should still be manufacturing siege equipment.
Again employing the previous tactics, they quickly captured the camp.
This camp surprisingly had over 2,000 soldiers and 100 silver-level soldiers.
It seemed the camp’s commander hadn’t exhausted their strength.
Perhaps they underestimated the enemy, or perhaps they were unwilling to give up resources.
However, even with an additional hundred or two soldiers and 100 silver-level soldiers, it still couldn’t change their fate of defeat.
It only delayed Kreya and the others slightly, but this slight delay was negligible for the whole campaign.
Despite Kreya and the others’ strength boost, after three battles, soldiers were still injured.
Most of the soldiers inevitably fell into exhaustion.
Kreya had to spend more time recuperating.
The entire sky had darkened by then, and the camp had been red and white for quite some time.
Noticing it was about time, Kreya stood up and spoke to the soldiers behind her: "Warriors, there are only two enemy camps left, and we will achieve victory. Glory awaits us."
Briefly encouraging the soldiers behind her, Kreya then led them in high spirits, quickly charging towards the remaining two camps, without taking much rest, connecting the two camps.
When the last camp also turned red and white, all five camps in the rear had fallen into Kane’s hands.
Inside the camp, Kreya and her soldiers were resting.
As for Kreya and her companions, it didn’t matter much. The intensity of the battles wasn’t enough to overly tire them.
The sky began to lighten slightly.
Kreya started to communicate to Kane via the ruby lapel pin on her collar: "Kane, our mission is complete. All five enemy camps have been captured by us."
At that moment, a deafening sound of battle was still coming from Kane’s side, with occasional explosions.
This was because the blue side had once again organized another siege.
This time they wanted to pile up with soldiers’ lives to see if they could break through.
"Well done, we also have no major issues here. You can rest for a while, then quickly come over when the time comes, and we will attack from both sides to eliminate the remaining enemies."
After discussing with Kane, he hung up and continued to operate the firepower platform beside him, pouring bullets downward.
The soldiers trying to charge up were continuously cut down under Kane’s bullet storm.
Seeing their soldiers die madly, the retreat horn was sounded again.
However, Kane had no sympathy for the retreating soldiers and continued to expend magic power.
The firepower platform beside him continued its attacks without stopping.
"Oh earth! Rise!"
With the enemy leader’s chant.
The ground surged directly to form a stone wall, this stone wall was about over 10 meters high.
It successfully blocked Kane’s bullets and artillery, buying significant time for the retreating soldiers below.
Under Kane’s fired-up suppression and with over 4,000 soldiers safeguarding, the blue side successfully failed.
However, this time, Kane did not take much of the enemy’s living strength.
The magic of that rising stone wall did indeed weaken Kane’s harvesting capability at the time.
Seeing the enemy army retreat back into the military camp, the soldiers on the city wall who had been attacking finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some even directly sat on the ground.
Kane also sat down on the spot and pulled out a magic potion from his space equipment.
The two waves of assault, along with the previous artillery destroying the enemy’s siege devices, cost Kane too much magic power.
Because it seemed like the enemy had mages casting shields, coupled with that leader’s magic,
Although Kane had reduced a significant amount of enemy forces, it was far less than the ideal numbers.
After resting for a while, Kane turned to Horn beside him and said: "Captain Horn, my teammates have already captured all five of the enemy’s rear camps."
"So fast!" Horn’s voice carried some surprise. He thought they would have to defend for another day and night to hear the good news from Kreya and the others.
Unexpectedly fast.
"Captain Kane’s partners are also exceedingly strong."
Kane nodded, and this time he didn’t humble himself, continuing: "I have already discussed with them. After they rest and recover, we will charge out of the fortress and attack from both sides, annihilating all enemies here."
"No problem, I’ll issue the orders immediately and have them ready." They had discussed this plan in advance, with no issues.
After discussing with Kane, Horn immediately walked towards his subordinates.
In the not-so-distant blue military camp, they were still recovering physical strength, with their craftsmen still constructing more siege devices, preparing for the next assault.
They didn’t realize that there would be no next siege opportunity.
Nor did they realize their retreat routes were cut off.
