Chapter 1080 New Station

"Miss Sylvie has confirmed that there are no other devils around."

"If the enemy launches an attack at this distance, we have at least five minutes to react."

"Five minutes is enough time for the anti-aircraft machine gun squad to be ready. What about threat assessment?"

"No high-level devils have been found among the known enemies, and the threat to Her Majesty the Queen is almost zero."

"If construction continues as usual, the biggest loss is likely to come from the track handling team, which has a dense flow of people and is inconvenient to evacuate. The casualties are expected to be one to two."

The command post was busy. After analyzing intelligence and repeated discussions, conclusions were listed on the display board. This was also a habit that the staff members gradually developed. In the face of complicated information, words are more difficult than words. be ignored.

"To sum up," Philin Sylvie said, stroking his chest towards Iron Ax, "we believe that the benefits of continuing the construction are greater than defending in place. This may make the devil understand our intentions, but this is something that His Majesty Roland It’s within our plan. As for the four flying devils, we just need to maintain a minimum level of surveillance.”

In short, this is the conclusion drawn from all the intelligence combined.

Although the role of the staff is only to assist in analysis and provide suggestions, the final decision maker is Iron Ax himself, but this conclusion coincides with his ideas.

The First Army is no longer the ancient army it was four hundred years ago. Even a vanguard force of five thousand people is enough to be called a behemoth. It is impossible for four mad demons alone to shake their position with one or two hired workers. The casualties in exchange for the opponent's destruction are not even considered losses to His Majesty's plan.

After all, the risks of coming to the wilderness have long been written into the contract.

Iron Ax looked at Edith, who said nothing.

In the command post, silence means acquiescence.

"I understand. Then let the construction team resume operations. The anti-aircraft machine gun team will continue to stay in place and be on guard. The others will be on standby as usual." Just when Iron Ax was about to issue an order to the adjutant, Edith suddenly spoke.

Not towards him, but towards Agatha, Phyllis and others.

"Is there any way you can swat those flies to death?"

"You mean... take the initiative?" Agatha frowned.

"That's right, I always think it's not a good thing to keep them staring." Northland Pearl nodded, "As far as I know, those two flying little girls both have good fighting abilities, right? In addition, With Miss Chen Xi’s cooperation, we may be able to catch them all in one fell swoop. This matter is beyond the capabilities of the First Army, and only you can do it.”

"This..." Agatha hesitated, "Theoretically speaking, there is no risk in their attack if there are only two devils. Otherwise, once the enemy launches a spear throw, it will be difficult to dodge at close range. Even if Ender Leah takes the lead, and there are still three left..."

She spoke slower and slower, because even she felt that the words were quite forced.

Since it is a war, it cannot be without risks, not to mention that this is a fateful battle that determines the future of the ethnic group. In order to get a chance of survival, thousands of witches died under the devil's butcher knife. Lightning is no more special than others.

But the fact is that she noticed something strange about the other party after entering the fertile plain - even though Lightning tried her best to hide it, Agatha, who had experienced the battle of divine will, was no stranger to such a state. It was when she encountered an unimaginably powerful enemy. Finally, the confusion caused. It is precisely because the enemy's strength has created an illusion that it is impossible to defeat, so many witches of the Holy Blessed Army who have been fighting for a long time are not immune. If they want to adjust, apart from drugs and abilities, they can only rely on themselves to recover little by little. .

In order to defeat the devil, Agatha does not care about the risk. If the benefits are large enough, she will not look back even if the plan is a life-threatening one - she believes that other Taquila survivors will make the same choice.

But Lightning is different. In this state, forcing her to face the devil is no longer a matter of risk, but rather forcing her to die.

She is not afraid of risks, but she cannot push the other person into the abyss with her own hands, especially a partner who is considered a sister.

After reawakening in Neverwinter, she found that she had also been changed a lot by these witches.

"Really..." Edith raised her eyebrows, but unexpectedly did not persist, "What if it is just to drive away? Use the magic ark to hide yourself, and let Miss Chenxi find an opportunity to take action, and kill one after another—— I think this is better than letting the other party watch."

Agatha and Iron Ax looked at each other and said, "This is no problem. I will notify the special operations team."

…

In the following ten days, a strange "tacit understanding" was formed between the devil and the First Army.

Almost every day, there would be a group of terrifying beasts wandering around the perimeter of the defense line, and sometimes it would increase to two or three groups, appearing in different directions. However, in Sylvie's field of vision, there was no concealment in their actions. Often, the First Army had already obtained their whereabouts in advance before they could be discerned by the naked eye.

Probably because there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, the enemy never launched an attack other than flying with them.

At the beginning, the existence of the devil had a certain impact on the construction team. However, after a few days, everyone got used to this situation and still worked hard - after all, the "potential threat" was far away. , and the rewards earned are right in front of you.

The only "incongruity" during this period came from Andrea.

Whenever a devil was hit and fell, the crowd would burst into loud cheers.

This process is completely unpredictable, sometimes it won't happen at all throughout the day, sometimes it will happen two or three times.

Although most people are unaware of the existence of special operations teams, there is no doubt that this is the military's counteraction.

There is even a novel way of gambling spreading among the workers.

That's speculating on the devil's end.

How many will come today and how many will go back? This little game of taking a break from the busy schedule is very popular with everyone.

As the project progressed very smoothly, the First Army soon advanced to the second node of the railway.

According to the battle plan, stations will be set up every fifty kilometers on railway lines that are not protected by the Hidden Forest. The bunkers made of reinforced concrete are enough to ensure that the First Army can resist the devils several times its own size with a small garrison. At the same time, the forward and the central army can take care of each other, and logistics will become more convenient.

The distance between stations is protected by armored trains traveling on the railway. Even if a section of track is damaged by the enemy, it will not be too difficult to repair it.

It can be said that with these stations, it will be impossible for the enemy to eradicate the "Long Black River" in a short time - they are like nails, making the First Army firmly rooted in this vast and fertile land.

And what they have to do now is to drive the second nail——.
