Main Text Chapter 709: Seeking Death in Various Ways
It is not a gap in combat power, but a purely strategic failure.
After hearing the story of the entire battle from the priest of the Beast Temple who had returned from this defeat, Zhao Nan was really speechless for the executive officer of the Beast Temple.
The enemy fights and then retreats, which is obviously a tactic to lure the enemy deeper. However, Tigret in front of the battle did not listen to the advice of his subordinates and pursued the pursuit arbitrarily.
The enemy, on the premise that the losses were not too heavy, successfully led the priests of the Beast Temple into the trap they had prepared long ago.
The result was that the Beast Temple's outgoing battle legion suffered an unprecedented defeat, with only less than 200 remaining soldiers successfully breaking through.
This was the worst and most disastrous defeat in the history of Torrent Iron Castle.
The executive officer of the Beast Temple, who was obviously responsible for this failure, was seriously injured and stayed behind closed doors after his return. It seems that if he is not treated immediately, his soul will ascend to heaven to serve the gods he believes in.
"It's the Sony clan."
Zhao Nan and His Royal Highness the Prince listened quietly.
Here is an emergency meeting held by Torrent Iron Castle in response to this failure. Unexpectedly, Zhao Nan also received an invitation from Li Miang, the executive officer of Conglin Temple.
"A few months ago, Torrent Iron Castle attacked and destroyed the base secretly built by the Sony clan under a mountain not far from their stronghold. They came here completely for revenge." Li Mian said with a solemn face: "The recent paragraph Over time, we were constantly attacked by the gray-body people. We used the weapons captured from the Sony tribe to barely resist the gray-body people's attack. But this time... the weapons we captured suddenly malfunctioned!"
"Misfunction?" Zhao Nan said subconsciously.
On the long table of the meeting, there were Zhao Nan and His Highness the Prince, as well as the main people in charge of the Jungle Temple, including Li Mian, and of course the other people in charge of this fiasco except Tigret, who was recovering from his injuries.
The total number was up to sixteen people.
Zhao Nan's voice attracted a lot of attention. But for this guy in black who was able to put Executive Tigret at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation, in addition to being curious, he was more in awe.
"It's a malfunction. The weapon suddenly cannot be used. Even if it can be used, the missiles fired by the dragon flame bombs will be misdirected, causing many casualties to our personnel." A tiger-headed orc wrapped in white gauze said this Shi gritted his teeth and said: "The Sony tribe must be behind this! I clearly saw several Sony tribesmen in the Gray Body army! Damn it, these despicable scraps!"
Hey, hey... those rocket launchers and other sophisticated electronic artillery pieces probably malfunctioned due to interference from radio waves. This kind of ability is the ability of the science and technology department. How can it be regarded as despicable? Zhao Nan nodded in disbelief.
After all, they are still people from Torrent Iron Castle, they just think that they can sit back and relax after getting the Dragon Flame Bullet.
So, being uneducated is really scary.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss whether the enemy is despicable or not. It is to discuss how to deal with the cooperation between the Sony clan and the gray-bodied people." Li Mian knocked on the table and said seriously: "First of all, the Sony clan we captured The weapons can no longer be used. The manpower lost this time is one-fifth of the current manpower of Torrent Iron Castle. However, the reduction in our overall combat power is far more than one-fifth. Think about it. Do you have any good suggestions?”
What better and more appropriate advice could there be than fighting back?
The executive officer of the Jungle Temple understood it, and the other thirteen people present except Zhao Nan, His Highness the Prince, and Li Mian knew it even more. Even His Highness the Prince, who looked indifferent and was purely acting as an observer, also understood.
It’s just that no one is taking the lead.
This is great. Hello everyone. The discussion meeting where everyone flew away in case of difficulty reminded Zhao Nan of several meetings of the city owners of the God-chosen city before the second disaster.
But this is not just a matter of facing gray bodies. Instead, they have to face the problem of the Sony clan, who are the partners of the gray-body people.
Compared with that kind of high-tech artillery, it is obvious that the two temple professionals in Torrent Iron Castle are better at dealing with gray-body people whose specialty is hand-to-hand combat.
"You two are elites from the Temple of War and members of our Grand Alliance. You might as well share your opinions. Our temples are here to help each other." Li Mian said sternly: "Now is a time of crisis. I hope you two can put aside those worries. Bad memories.”
Zhao Nan and His Highness the Prince looked at each other.
His Highness the Prince immediately said: "We are new here, so it is really not convenient for us to offer any opinions. However, Torrent Iron Castle is in trouble. Based on the principle of the Grand Alliance, I will not stand idly by. If there is anything useful, we should do our best."
Li Mian's face was slightly happy.
He just needs that commitment. Tigret is seriously injured and may not be able to fight anymore. The high-end combat power of Torrent Iron Castle has undoubtedly plummeted. At this time, if we can get help from this group of trialists from the Temple of War, it will undoubtedly be like providing help in times of need. I just saw these people getting angry yesterday, at least two of them were not inferior to him in strength.
"I don't understand. The alliance has been operating in the abandoned land for many years and has built a large number of strongholds. That means it has a place. In this case, it should have experience in dealing with various forces." Zhao Nan asked coldly: "Executive Officer Li Mian just said that he destroyed a secret base of the Sony tribe a few months ago. That means you also have methods to deal with the Sony tribe. Why is the small number of Sony tribe this time making everyone so uneasy?"
There was silence, some people lowered their heads, some looked to the left, some looked away, some looked embarrassed. ‘
"Let me tell you." Li Mian sighed and said: "It is true that we have a way to deal with the Sony clan. In fact, based on the consideration that there will be a secret alliance between the seven major forces, each stronghold will have unique abilities that can check and balance each race. The minimum standard of combat capability. It’s a pity that something unpleasant happened three months ago and the special forces stationed in Torrent Iron Castle left.”
Zhao Nan and His Royal Highness frowned at the executive officer of the Jungle Temple at the same time.
It actually made the special forces stationed on duty leave their posts in anger. How unpleasant it must be... Can the special forces really continue to do this kind of thing that breaks the rules of the major league?
"What exactly is going on?" Achilles spoke clearly.
In one, there was a bit more silence than before.
Li Mian reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, with a bit of helplessness and anger. Tell the story eloquently.
It is an established rule that the garrison troops should be replaced every twenty years. Although the progress of cultivation in the abandoned land will be faster, not all priests can endure the hardship in the abandoned land.
This is especially true for members of the Beast Temple who advocate freedom, violence, and power.
Three months ago, Torrent Iron Castle held a celebration banquet for destroying the Sony clan's secret base. The celebration banquet may have been too carried out. Several warriors from the Beast Temple raped a woman from the Ice and Snow Temple among the special forces while drunk.
Originally, in an isolated place like the Abandoned Land, it was not uncommon for someone to be unable to restrain their lust and taste the forbidden fruit. Many temples even prohibit marriage. It is more normal for priests to start families in abandoned lands and give birth to offspring. Each stronghold has been operating for so many years, and the total population is therefore not only the garrison troops from the paradise world, but also their descendants.
But it is one thing not to be abstinent, because it is based on the principle of mutual consent.
But if one party is unwilling, it is rape/violence. The believers of one temple rape/violate the believers of another temple, which can almost rise to the level of a war of faith between temples. Originally, this kind of thing would happen occasionally, and it could be covered up if it was handled well in private. Fortunately, this time the target is the Ice and Snow Temple.
The women in the Ice and Snow Temple value chastity more than life.
So the victimized woman left a suicide note and committed suicide the next day.
Afterwards, the members of the special forces approached the executive officer of the Temple of the Beast to question him and demanded that the thugs be handed over and punished with the death penalty. But Taglet believed that people died when they died, and the abandoned land was extremely dangerous. Instead of executing him, it would be better to stay and continue to serve as a fighting force. In the end, he just made a painless decision of grounding himself for three days to reflect on his own. punish.
"The next day, all the members of the special forces disappeared." Li Mian sighed: "Half a month later, the decision of the Grand Alliance came out to temporarily evacuate this group of special forces from the Torrent Battle Fort, and in addition, they will be re-installed Form a new special force to station. Unfortunately, the priests of the Ice and Snow Temple have refused to send any members to join the special force since this incident, and have recalled all members who served in other special forces and refused to accept even the orders of the Grand Alliance. . In response, several temples that were better than the Ice and Snow Temple also recalled their members. After this incident, due to the pressure from the major alliance, Tigret had to take it with him. The offending Beast Temple warriors went to the stronghold where the Ice and Snow Temple was located to confess their mistakes. However, the criminals were executed and Tigret came back in disgrace. The other strongholds are still in the process of mediation. Although the special forces have withdrawn some personnel and left, at least they still exist. As for Torrent Iron Castle..."
"There is no vacancy until now." Zhao Nan responded in a nonchalant manner. His eyes fell on the warrior commanders of the Beast Temple opposite, and he said with a smile: "You guys really have a good executive."
His gaze made several Beast Temple warrior commanders feel so ashamed that they did not dare to raise their heads. They were like ostriches.
Originally, the status of the members of the Temple Alliance who came to the Abandoned Land was actually equivalent to that of soldiers.
It takes twenty years to be stationed. This requires a high level of awareness to do it.
As long as you are a soldier, you can bleed and suffer, even if you die in battle! However, the most taboo thing is to be treated unfairly.
After hearing these words, Zhao Nan felt a little relieved.
Not only what scared Yeyue yesterday, but also what happened before March. This executive officer of the Beast Temple is simply a typical example of trying to commit suicide...
