The deputy legion commander was shocked: “Lake still has the ability to mobilize 500 magicians?”

“They are all ordinary people.”

As soon as these words came out, the deputy legion commander was suddenly confused: “Bringing 500 ordinary people to attack the Bauhinia Legion with 30,000 professional soldiers?”

Sadhu glanced at him and was about to say something, but paused for some reason.

After a moment, he said, “Just deal with it normally.”

“Yes, sir!” The adjutant took the order and left.

The deputy commander stood there in a daze for a while, then started to chase after him.

Sadhu called him and said, “What are you going to do?”

“I want to know what’s wrong with Lake.”

“You can go, but remember to hide your magic fluctuations and don’t get close to the center of the battle. If you feel there is danger, flee immediately.”

“Ah?” The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and said, “Lake’s Saint-level is here too, right?

I will be careful!”

The deputy legion commander turned around and rushed away quickly. Sadhu raised his hand to explain, but finally put it down.

The effect is the same anyway, so let it be a misunderstanding.

The deputy legion commander trusted Sadu very much and strictly followed his warnings. Not only did he give up using magic to fly, he even did not release his mental power on the way to the war zone.

As a result, his speed was naturally slower than that of the soldiers who were fighting the enemy. In addition, the camp was vast, so it took him a lot of time to travel. By the time he arrived at the battle zone, the battle had just ended.

It was late at night, and the camp was far from street lights, so the light was very dim. The deputy commander looked around, subconsciously preparing to release magic to enhance night vision to investigate the battlefield situation.

He immediately remembered Sadhu’s instructions, and quickly cancelled the magic that he had prepared halfway, and called the captain of the soldiers to inquire about what had happened.

“We were attacked by arrows. After finding out the number of enemies, we quickly formed a siege and waited for the support of the high-level professional commander, but…”

“Say it.”

The captain of the soldiers turned his head to look at the high-level professionals gathered not far away, and then continued: “It’s very strange.

The enemy seemed unwilling to fight, and they retreated as soon as we surrounded them. By the time the officers arrived, they had already fled.”

“Why not chase!”

“The patrol captain said the enemy is a magician. We…”

The deputy legion commander waved his hand: “I understand.”

After saying that, he looked into the distance at the forest shrouded in darkness and said, “Hmm… the visibility is not good. Let’s go again in the morning. Let’s go back to the camp.”

“As ordered!”

Everyone retreated to the camp in an orderly manner, and the deputy legion commander also went into his tent to rest.

However, soon after he lay down in bed, he heard a loud shout of “enemy attack” from outside.

He hurriedly threw off the thin blanket and rushed out without even putting on his armor. When he arrived at the scene, the soldiers reported that the enemy had evacuated quickly before being surrounded, just like before.

In the past, he would probably order a pursuit in the cover of night, because the combat effectiveness of the professional army was not greatly affected by the intensity of light.

Although low-level professionals cannot see distant objects clearly in an overly dim environment, it will not be an obstacle if there are high-level professionals who can see clearly leading the team and giving orders.

However, the causes and consequences of the enemy’s sneak attack seemed strange. Sadu reminded him to pay attention to safety. After thinking it over, the deputy legion commander finally gave up the pursuit.

But he had just returned to the camp when the annoying rats came again.

The two sides spent the entire second half of the night in this tug of war.

It must be said that the deputy commander was very sensible. Even though he was tormented for half a night, he still followed orders and refused to pursue.

It was not until the sky brightened that the deputy legion commander, who had restrained himself all night, finally exploded.

He rushed to the scene again and learned from the soldiers’ report that the enemy had escaped. He gritted his teeth and ordered: “Chase!”

Then, a total of five thousand soldiers from the lowest, intermediate and highest level magicians poured into the dark forest.

The deputy commander had planned to go back to the tent to rest his irritable brain, but when he thought of the torture he had endured for several hours, he turned around and headed for the forest.

…………

A team of more than ten people, holding spears or swords, vigilantly searched the forest for traces of the enemy.

Suddenly, a soldier stopped and said, “Damn it.”

“Huh?” His companion looked at him puzzledly.

“There were at least 500 people, and we were following their escape route, so why… didn’t we see a single footprint?”

The soldier who was glancing at the low plants at his feet said in an equally confused tone: “Look, there are no signs of trampling on these weeds. Could it be that they all flew?”

“Impossible, the deputy commander said that they are all ordinary people.”

The strange situation made the atmosphere a little depressing. A soldier smiled and eased the mood: “Maybe they used magic props. Anyway, we are just ordinary people. Can they kill us——”

“boom–“

There was an explosion not far to the right, and the soldiers were startled. After reacting, they ran over. As they approached the source of the explosion, they heard screams that seemed to be from their companions.

what happened?

The soldiers were a little nervous, slowed down their pace and approached carefully.

After walking slowly for a minute and pushing aside a few branches, a soldier lying on the ground, holding his right thigh and screaming came into view.

The reason why the emphasis is placed on “holding the right thigh” is because the soldier’s entire right calf has disappeared, the torn trouser leg is stuck to the broken part, blood is gushing out, soaking the fabric.

The soldiers looked at the tragic scene in horror until they were awakened by his wailing.

The soldiers recognized his armor as a friendly soldier and ran over to him. Some of them squatted down to treat his wounds, and some asked, “Where are the enemies?!”

“No…no…huh…I don’t know.”

When his companions arrived, he calmed down a little. Although his pronunciation was still inconsistent, it was at least smoother: “I was searching for the enemy and didn’t see anything. Suddenly, there was an explosion under my feet.”

Sudden explosion? Was it a triggered magic?

Everyone looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention that trigger magic is very expensive. No one would be so extravagant as to use it against an ordinary soldier. Even if he was unlucky enough to step on the trigger magic, the power would not be so small.

After a moment of silence, a soldier said, “Report to the commander first.”

“How to report? One of our soldiers was ambushed by trigger magic?”

“If we really report like this, I think the commander will hang us on the mast and whip us severely for lying.

You have to understand that if it was a triggered magic, he would not have just lost half a leg, but would have turned into minced meat on the ground.”

“so what should I do now?”

“or……”

“boom–“

There was another explosion not far away, and the soldiers felt it was very familiar. This was normal, after all, they had heard it just a few minutes ago.

They stood up in disbelief and looked towards the source of the sound.

Could it be…

To prove their guess, they left one person behind to take care of their injured companion, and the rest quickly rushed to the explosion site.

When they arrived at the place, more than ten soldiers’ eyelids twitched violently when they saw their companion lying on the ground, holding his left thigh and howling miserably.

“This is……”

“boom–“

This time the intervals between the explosions were much shorter than before. Their confused minds were no longer able to make any judgments, so they followed their instincts and once again left one person behind to protect their injured companions while the rest rushed to the explosion site.

The same scene kept repeating, and the forest seemed to be filled with triggered magic. Explosions occurred one after another, and the team kept running and splitting up until only the captain was left.

The captain’s eyes were filled with fear. He tried desperately to control the trembling of his hands and feet, but it was ineffective. To prevent himself from falling, he could only squat slowly and help his companions treat their wounds urgently.

Due to limited conditions, the bandage could not be perfect. I just tore off a piece of cloth from my shirt and tied it tightly around the broken thigh, barely stopping the blood from gushing out.

“boom–“

There seemed to be another explosion in the woods ahead. The captain was already numb and sat next to his companions, staring blankly over there.

The companion endured the severe pain and said: “No, we are not going?”

“I’m the only one here.” The captain said woodenly.

…………

In the open space outside the forest, the deputy commander paced anxiously as he listened to the explosions going off everywhere inside.

What happened? How many enemies were hiding inside? Why didn’t anyone come out to report the situation? Was the whole army wiped out?

He wanted to go in and check it out himself, but when he remembered Sadhu’s warning, he put his foot back down.

Half an hour later, a soldier finally stumbled out of the forest.

The deputy commander was overjoyed and walked over quickly: “What’s going on in there? How many soldiers have we lost? How many enemies are there?!”

“Deputy…Deputy Commander, I, we have been ambushed by a large-scale trigger magic!”

“?” A question mark seemed to appear on the deputy commander’s head.

“What are you talking about?”

“A large-scale triggered magic? Even if we empty the treasury of Gangno, we won’t have enough gold to set it up, you know?!”

“But, but…” The soldier pointed at the forest anxiously, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

“Alright!” The deputy commander completely lost his patience after seeing the bizarre incidents one after another. He waved his hand to interrupt the soldier and said, “I’ll go…”

“Mr. Deputy Commander!” A magician flew over from a distance and shouted loudly before he got close, “The camp is under attack!”

“what?!”

The deputy legion commander screamed and rushed into the sky towards the camp without paying attention to Sadhu’s warning.

On the way, his mind was full of thoughts.

The camp was guarded by the army commander and Lord Shenyou, so how could it be attacked? Or who could get close to it?
