Unless the two adults…

The deputy commander’s heart palpitated and he shook his head: “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

He exerted all his magic power and slightly increased his flying speed, which had already reached its limit, and successfully arrived at the camp ten seconds later.

The deputy legion commander landed in a panic and rushed into the commander’s tent. After seeing the situation inside, he paused.

“Are you back?” Sadhu asked, with his hands behind his back.

Lord Shenyou next to him didn’t say anything, but turned his head and glanced at him through the hollow of his mask.

The deputy commander felt relieved, then scratched his head in confusion: “Since the two adults are here, why did someone inform me that the camp was attacked?”

Sadhu sat on the wooden stool behind the low table: “We were indeed attacked.”

Thinking that with them in the camp, there wouldn’t be serious losses even if attacked, the deputy legion commander smiled, but routine care was still required.

The deputy legionnaire smiled and asked, “How many soldiers were sacrificed?”

“Not much, just…”

Just as Sadhu uttered these four words, a soldier rushed into the tent and described the situation in the forest in a hurried voice.

Sadhu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and sighed: “It would be better if it was a soldier who sacrificed himself.”

“Uh, what do you mean?”

“All the light magicians who went with the army, oh, that is, the clergy of the church, are dead.”

Chapter 400 The Importance of Logistics

When Sadhu first heard the explosion outside the camp, he knew that the pursuers had been ambushed.

The enemy had set up an elaborate trap, and there was no doubt that the thousands of soldiers sent by our side would most likely be wiped out. Even if some of them survived by chance, their number would not be too large.

Sadhu actually didn’t care much.

The total number of the Bauhinia Legion is 50,000, and the elite soldiers are all under his direct control. The deputy legion can only mobilize small fry, and it doesn’t matter if they all die.

So he sat calmly in the tent, ignoring the noise outside, until the enemy sneaked into the camp.

When the dense explosions in the forest gradually became sporadic, Sadhu thought of waiting until they were completely over before going to check the situation. Unexpectedly, his aunt suddenly walked into the tent and told him that an enemy force of 35 people, divided into five teams of seven, had reached the camp.

Sadhu was a little confused, wondering who could have sneaked in without being noticed by him. Then he suddenly remembered the seven-man team of Lake that he had fought against not long ago, and it dawned on him.

He knew that his aunt would never do anything. The reason was not only due to certain restrictions that only God-protected level people had, but also because of her own personal considerations.

Therefore, you can only rely on yourself.

He immediately took out his wand and led the Guards to search for the enemy. Although he knew it was futile, he knew the enemy was taking action and had even penetrated deep into the hinterland, so as the commander of the legion, he had to respond.

During the search, Sadhu was very cautious, always paying attention to any unusual movements around him and being alert to the “arrows” that might attack him.

Having fought against the special forces, he had a certain understanding of the pros and cons of their combat methods.

The advantage is that the upper limit of burst damage is very high, enough to break the holy-level shield. The disadvantage is that the attack range is narrow, and most of the time an attack can only affect one enemy.

This highly biased combat method, combined with the team’s terrifying stealth capabilities, is undoubtedly the most suitable for assassinating high-ranking enemy forces.

Based on this, Sadhu speculated that the team’s target was most likely himself.

Sadhu was full of confidence in the conclusions of his analysis, but after walking around the camp for a few times, nothing happened around him.

He looked around at the numerous tents in a daze. If they were not here to assassinate me, then what were they here for? They couldn’t be traveling, right?

Just as they were confused, chaos suddenly broke out in the middle of the camp, and the soldiers’ exclamations and sporadic screams were heard through the air.

Sadhu was stunned for a second, and instantly locked onto the source of the sound – the area where the priests lived.

Their goal is the priesthood?

has no meaning?

Sadhu quickly rushed to the site of the attack, his brain working frantically, pondering the special forces’ purpose.

However, even after arriving at the scene and seeing the bodies of priests scattered all over the place, they still had no clue.

This is the limitation of thinking caused by the special war environment in the Sol continent.

On Blue Star, even people who have completed nine years of compulsory education can immediately determine that the enemy is attacking their logistical capabilities.

Saduna would certainly not be able to figure out the key point. He searched the area to make sure the enemy had retreated, then returned to the tent to continue thinking hard.

He thought hard but to no avail, until the soldiers came and reported that they had been ambushed during the pursuit, in which no one died but most of the soldiers were seriously injured. Only then did he realize what was going on.

Back to the present.

Sadhu tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes flickering: “So that’s how it is… So… war can be like this…”

The deputy commander rubbed his hands and said, “Commander, can you explain it more clearly?”

Looking up at him, Sadhu said slowly, “Of the five thousand soldiers sent, nearly four thousand were seriously injured, right?”

“Yes.”

“Where are they hurt?”

“Um, they are all legs, the difference is right leg or left leg.” This was his command error. The deputy legion commander was a little embarrassed, and quickly forced a smile and added, “These injuries are not serious. As long as the high-level priests release a group light attribute…”

The deputy legion commander was stunned, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

Sadhu sat up straight, “Got it?”

“I understand…I understand.” The deputy legion commander lowered his head awkwardly.

My aunt, who had been watching silently, spoke up at this time: “Unfortunately, we can’t imitate this tactic and use it on the powerful enemy of the Gangnuo Empire.”

The confused deputy legion commander subconsciously asked, “Why?”

“Why, you dare to attack the priesthood of the Kentia Empire?”

“That’s right.” He tilted his head and thought about it, his eyes lit up, “But Lake’s clergy have all evacuated, can we sneak attack the healing professionals they are in charge of?”

“In theory, yes, but according to my investigation, Lake does not rely on professionals to treat soldiers.” said my aunt.

“Well, what if their soldiers are injured?”

“Well… who knows.” After saying this, my aunt seemed to have lost interest in the discussion and walked out of the tent with her hands behind her back.

The deputy commander watched her disappear behind the door curtain, then turned and asked, “Commander, how should we respond now?”

“First, report the sacrifice of the priests and request support from new priests. Then… stay where you are for now and see what other tricks Lake has up his sleeve.”

Sadhu envisioned it perfectly.

The reason why Lake used this “trick” to consume his own troops was obviously because his strength was not enough to launch a frontal attack, and he planned to wait until his own strength was weakened to a certain extent before launching a decisive battle.

In this way, all he had to do was keep his troops in place and wait for the arrival of supporting clergy, and the current predicament would be resolved on its own.

As for whether the church would be held accountable for sacrificing too many priests in the legion, there is no need to worry about this. The church did not send priests to help selflessly, but the local branch church concealed the Holy Mountain Archbishop and exchanged interests with the empire.

As long as the total number of casualties does not reach a certain level, the branch church will be able to make up for the losses quickly. After all, there are people everywhere who aspire to become priests of the church.

Unfortunately, once Lake or Domit launched an offensive, they would never give their opponents any breathing space, especially since Domit knew that with the comprehensive national strength of the Gangno Empire, they would soon send a group of clergy to support.

So that night, the harassment from the First Army’s vanguard came uninvited.

The harassment method has not been updated. Just like last night, hundreds of people attacked the camp from a distance. Soldiers went out of the camp to encircle and suppress the enemy. No matter how many people there were, they turned around and fled. When the pursuers returned to the camp, they followed the enemy’s footsteps and returned to a place not far from the camp to open fire.

In fact, this tactic did not cause much casualties to the Bauhinia Corps. Sometimes, even a round of bullets would miss the target.

In theory, the soldiers of the Bauhinia Legion could completely ignore the harassment and deploy a few high-level professionals whose defenses could not be penetrated by bullets to patrol and ensure that Lake would not attack the camp.

They did so. However, when the officer who issued the order proudly reported his wise decision to Sadhu, he was not praised but scolded.

The officer didn’t understand why the legion commander was so angry, and hurried to the gate to prepare to withdraw the high-level professionals on guard.

But when he arrived at the door and saw the headless body lying on the grass, all his doubts were resolved.

Lake is waiting for you to withdraw the low-level professional soldiers and send high-level professionals to guard the door.

Dam brought a total of five teams for this operation. After activating the magic circle, he could fire up to five bullets at a time to kill high-level professionals. If he targeted high-level professionals who gathered in groups, it would be very unrealistic and dangerous.

If we successfully kill five of them, and the remaining high-level professionals frantically release saturation area magic in all directions, they will have no way to escape and will surely die.

This is why Sadu strictly forbids high-level professionals in the legion to act alone, and specifically warns the deputy legion commander who went to the scene to check the battle situation not to expose his strength, because once the enemy discovers that there are high-level professionals on their side alone, they will be shot in the head by a bullet from the dark in the next second.

Sadhu was troubled by this, and the officers who suffered losses could not think of any effective countermeasures.

What should I do?

Keep fighting with Lake.

At this moment the officer suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the legion commander was willing to endure the enemy’s constant harassment, because this was the only way to reduce losses at present.

At this point, the soldiers and officers of the Bauhinia Corps calmed down and worked in tacit understanding with the vanguard.

If you come, I will chase you. If you run away, I will go back.

It seemed that the two sides had temporarily entered a stalemate, but when Sadhu learned of this situation, he felt a little uneasy.

After just one fight, Sadhu had already realized the military talent of Commander Lake. Would such a commander who was well versed in warfare allow the attack to stagnate in the face of an enemy that was determined to fight to the death?

He guessed that Lake must have planned the next offensive move, but after thinking hard for several days, he still couldn’t figure it out.

“I always feel that… something is wrong.” Sadhu muttered as he sat behind a low table in the tent.

The two deputy legion commanders standing in front of the table looked at each other with bitter faces.

They had never seen their own Sadhu Corps Commander so distressed. They wanted to comfort him, but didn’t know how to start.

The source of Sadhu’s distress was clear: the enemy’s intentions were unclear and his side was in a very passive position. All he had to do was solve this problem. The question was, how?

The two thought deeply.

What exactly does Lake want to do next?

They have already…

A deputy legion commander suddenly raised his head and said, “Master Legion Commander, Lake’s first target is our priesthood. Will it be…”

Sadhu seemed to understand: “A priest who supports the attack?”

Another deputy legion commander hesitated and said, “This… is unlikely, how do they know the priest’s route?

Moreover, the commander of the army specifically instructed that the priests who came this time must disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers. How can Lake distinguish their identities and accurately find the priests who are mixed in with the soldiers? “
