“Is that the howitzer that the legion commander mentioned?”

“There is no other possibility.”

“The artillery should be deployed in the forest.”

The two stood on the grass covered with scorch pits and looked towards the forest.

After a moment of silence, one person said, “Do you want to…”

“We need to ask the legion commander for his permission.”

As deputy commanders, they can command the army as long as Sadhu does not show up. However, Sadhu happened to emphasize this matter – without his order, no one is allowed to pursue the enemy in the forest.

The deputy commander was a little unwilling: “Don’t you want to fight back after being beaten? We are the Bauhinia Corps of the Gangnuo Empire. The honor we carry does not allow me to–“

“This is a war, not a duel.” Sadhu walked slowly from a distance.

“Commander!” The two men turned around and saluted.

Sadhu walked closer and looked up at the huge light shield that had appeared above his head before saying, “The enemy has been avoiding direct battle with us. Why?”

“Can’t do it?”

“Yes, they can’t do that, so they can only try various means to try to provoke us to rush into the forest and fight with them.”

As he spoke, Sadhu looked up at the increasingly solid magic shield in the sky and said, “If you have the ability, blast it to pieces.”

As if in response to him, the second round of shells whizzed in, hitting the translucent, film-like light shield one after another, causing ripples.

At the same time, the light emitted by the magic crystal that served as a node on the grass suddenly dimmed.

Sadhu took a look and said: “It can probably completely resist two attacks…

At this rate of consumption, how long can the magic crystals I carry last?”

A deputy legion commander replied: “At least three months.”

“That’s enough.” Sadhu turned and walked towards his own tent. “Maintain the status quo and don’t attack rashly.”

“As ordered!”

…………

The Bauhinia Legion camp on the grass by the river was protected by a semicircular magic light shield.

There was a dense forest between the two sides, and the First Army Artillery Regiment, which was dozens of kilometers away, was unaware of this. They just followed the orders from their superiors and continued to bombard round after round.

Two special operations teams that were ready to resist the attack of high-level enemy professionals were lying in ambush outside the artillery position. They waited for a long time but saw no enemy coming, and they were a little confused.

The situation was quickly reported to the headquarters. After a little thought, Domit realized that the enemy commander was afraid of the special operations team hiding in the forest.

“Inform the Marshal of the situation and request a quick victory. Do not give the enemy time to react.”

“Yes!”

All the special forces of the First Army were dispatched this time, but there were only two special forces teams in the forest. What about the others?

Of course, it was to attack the reinforcements of the Bauhinia Legion.

Domit took advantage of the enemy’s contempt and successfully defeated their “medical team”. As long as the status quo is maintained, the next step will be to completely wipe out the Bauhinia Legion. Of course, it is impossible to allow them to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

To this end, they even risked the artillery regiment suffering heavy damage by separating five special operations teams from the mission, leaving only two to protect the artillery positions.

Although Domit speculated that the enemy would most likely not dare to leave the camp on their own initiative, after all, the special operations team had the ability to snipe high-level professionals, speculation was ultimately just speculation and could not be confirmed.

Fortunately, everything worked out well in the end.

Domit walked out of the room and looked towards the battlefield.

Marshal, it’s up to you now.

…………

Dam’s team was moving quickly through a reed marsh. Suddenly, the sniper rifle sent a slight mental wave into his mind.

He raised his hand, and the team members behind him stopped synchronously, activated the sniper rifle core, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

“Safe.” The team member reported.

Hearing this, Dam answered the call.

“Captain Domit has ordered us to tell the Marshal to fight a quick and decisive battle.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the light from the crystal on the side of the sniper rifle dimmed, and Zhang Mu’s figure slowly emerged beside Dam: “No movement from the Bauhinia Legion?”

“It should be.” Dam looked back.

“That guy…” Zhang Mu smiled halfway through his sentence, “He is quite cautious.”

“Okay, it’s best not to move, otherwise the artillery regiment will be in danger.”

Dam stood up and raised his hand to brush away the reeds beside his face: “Marshal, according to the situation in the rear, the reinforcements of the Bauhinia Corps total more than 300 people, all wearing the uniforms of ordinary soldiers, but I guess there are at least 20 high-level professionals in the team.

If you want to kill all the clergy, you must first identify them and find all the high-level professionals.”

Zhang Mu put his hands behind his back, thinking about something, and said, “Where are they?”

“They have left the teleportation array and are heading for the Bauhinia Corps camp. Based on their speed, they are expected to arrive in three days.”

“What are you running so fast for?”

It’s not that Zhang Mu has no way to deal with these support troops.

It’s a bit troublesome. The Dam team attacked repeatedly, nibbling away step by step. Zhang Mu resisted the enemy’s counterattack magic, which could ensure the annihilation of the enemy without injury. The disadvantage is that the combat time is slightly longer. If it’s simple and crude, just throw mushrooms directly. He has dozens of nuclear bombs stored in his inventory.

However, Zhang Mu would not be willing to use nuclear weapons easily unless he had no other choice.

The reason is very simple. Lake’s expansion will not stop. Sooner or later, it will step into the Gangno Empire. By that time, all the surrounding lands will belong to Lake, and dropping nuclear bombs on them will still require Lake to deal with it himself.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mu waved his hand and said, “Let’s find them first.”

No matter what method he used, the support soldier Zhang Mu would never let them reach the Bauhinia Legion camp.

The group set out again, trudged all the way, and discovered the enemy’s troops the next morning.

The sun rises, and the morning sun penetrates the clouds and shines on the earth.

It was impossible to see directly inside the clouds, but Zhang Mu had already sensed that three hundred people were flying in it at an extremely fast speed.

On the ground, Dam’s team opened their sniper rifles early, activated the shadow magic core, and ambushed behind the raised earth slope.

Zhang Mu narrowed his eyes and looked up at the clouds, ready to take precautions.

The mental force fed back the enemy’s information. They seemed to have used some kind of magic prop to disrupt the magic fluctuations, causing Zhang Mu to only sense the number of people but unable to determine the strength of each individual.

Even if the Gangno Empire requested it, the church would not send a cardinal, or a magician. If the church could sense the specific level of an individual, it would be able to tell which ones were clergymen based on this.

Standing at the top of the slope, Zhang Mu turned his head and ordered: “Fire.”

Since the identity cannot be determined through mental power, the only option is to test it by shooting.

Dam received the order, randomly selected someone in the flying team, aimed at him, and then pulled the trigger.

The sound of breaking air passed by my ears and faded away in an instant.

“Who are you? How dare you offend the Gangnuo Empire!” An angry shout came from the clouds.

Zhang Mu had no intention of responding. He closed his eyes and used all his mental strength to sense the enemy’s reaction.

After a moment, he opened his eyes in surprise: “So alert?”

After being attacked, a Sky Knight in the team reacted quickly and swung his sword to block the bullet, while the others moved closer to the center without making any move to attack.

Obviously, they had learned about the existence of the special forces from Sadu, and had gained insight into the special forces’ tactics in advance and formulated countermeasures.

You want to use attack to test our identity, but I won’t let you do that. If one high-level professional can deal with me, I will never expose a second one. If you are not convinced, then attack with all your strength if you have the ability, and see if my range magic can kill you.

Zhang Mu also figured it out. The enemy guessed that he planned not to get entangled with the guards and to retreat after killing the priests, so he only used one Sky Knight to deal with all the tentative attacks, so that he could not find out the identities of the remaining people.

“Well… let me do it.” After thinking for a while, Zhang Mufei went to the sky.

Dam and the others immediately connected their mental strength with their companions, and the magic power formed a cycle in the air along a specific route, forming an amplifying magic circle.

Not long after Zhang Mu flew into the clouds, the sounds of magic explosions were heard one after another, the clouds were dispersed, and the three hundred people hanging in the sky appeared before his eyes.

Dam couldn’t help laughing when he saw the horror on their faces.

Even a Saint cannot see through the Marshal’s shadow magic, you are just being played around with.

This is the case.

The team was completely unaware of the enemy’s whereabouts. They only saw magic spells suddenly erupting in front of them one after another. They panicked and some clergy were hit, falling to the ground with screams. The high-level professionals did not bother to hide their identities and exposed their strength, pouring area magic and combat skills around them.

Dam observed for more than ten seconds, his eyes focused, and he communicated with the team members through mental power.

The target is locked and the operation begins!

The magic power in the five magic circles flowed towards the captains who served as the core of each of them. The crystal on the side of the sniper rifle shone with light, and the black muzzle simultaneously brewed an increasingly dazzling scarlet light group. When it reached the limit, a bullet rushed out and attacked the priesthood high in the sky.

“Three times.” Zhang Mu returned to the top of the slope with a gloomy face. “Damn it, he’s like crazy.”

In the sky, high-level professionals formed a sphere, and the priests hid inside the circle. They tried to block the bullets fired at the priests, but their number was limited and the protective circle had many holes, so the bullets always passed through accurately and blew up the priests’ heads.

As the number of priests decreased drastically, their captain’s forehead was covered with cold sweat: “Quick! Contact the commander of the Sadhu Legion!”

…………

Bauhinia Corps Camp.

Sadu ordered his adjutant to bring a recliner and a coffee table, made a cup of black tea, then lay on the chair, tasting the sweet tea, and leisurely watching the ripples that continued to appear on the surface of the light shield.

Lake’s bombardment had lasted for two days. It was very frustrating to be hit on the head and not be able to fight back, but Sadhu was not annoyed at all.

Because these two days can be said to be the most peaceful days in recent months.

In the past, I had to worry about being ambushed and deal with Lake’s harassment, but now I’m comfortable and don’t have to worry about anything. I can just lie down and drink tea.

“You seem very relaxed.” My aunt walked from behind and stood beside the recliner.

Sadhu smiled and said, “Why not?

Look, the enemy can only vent their anger on the magic shield, how pleasant it is.”

My aunt looked down at him and said, “Aren’t you worried about the priests being attacked on the road? You don’t have any trace of that team, aren’t you curious about where they went?”

Sadhu put the porcelain cup on the coffee table and sat up straight: “I have had some free time these two days, so I calmed down and thought about it carefully. In fact, that team is not that scary.

For example… they are afraid of groups of high-level professionals, and the difficulty of training them cannot be too low, otherwise how could Zhang Mu only form seven teams. “
