The artillery in the border defense zone and the harassment, ambushes, and rear-guard attacks by the headquarters caused the raider legion to suffer heavy losses.
Two days later, the raiders retreated in batches, and the three commanders discussed and decided not to pursue them.
Qin Che returned with Li Xin, marking their second public appearance since the start of the war.
The first time was an award.
The second time was also an award.
"I still haven't seen anyone. I have a feeling your method is unreliable." Li Xin shook his head and sighed.
"It will happen eventually. Just wait patiently." Qin Che smiled and patted his shoulder.
I've spent the last few days alone with Li Xin and, using the ability of 'mind reading,' I've learned some of his thoughts.
Just as Qin Che asked him if he would help him, Li Xin nodded in affirmation.
He didn't lie at that time.
As for the military officers, Qin Che also conducted some tests, and they were all extremely loyal to him.
The new feature is suitable for catching spies, but Qin Che doesn't have that much free time.
After the commendation meeting, he took Li Xin to wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.
Jiang Cunjian noticed something amiss and said, "These past few days, Lord Qin has only appeared with Minister Li twice. Do you all know where they've been the rest of the time?"
"I can imagine that either they've gone deep behind enemy lines to investigate the plunderers, or... they've already engaged in combat with the superhumans on the other side," Song Zhiming rationally analyzed.
"It seems that the master and the others haven't gained anything."
“Yes, the front line depends on us.” Jiang Cunjian said in a deep voice, “Vice Minister Li is in the southern defense zone, and the backpackers can’t be transferred over either. We need to fight this battle more cautiously.”
After he finished speaking, both Song Zhizhi and Chen Da looked at him.
"Alright, the next battle could begin at any moment. Send out all the scouts and keep a close eye on the enemy's movements."
First line of defense
After careful consideration, the three commanders decided to send a group of soldiers from the Spring Army into the mountains to eliminate the looters. The Southern Army was responsible for forming guerrilla units to follow them up the mountain.
The army did not make any rash moves.
Three days later, the raiders finally made a big move.
They poured out of the 'southeast corner' fortress, with a force of fifty to sixty thousand, and marched in a mighty and imposing manner.
Among them are well-trained psionic warriors.
Jiang Cunjian invited officers from the First Mobile Squadron to withstand the pressure on the front lines.
“We have other missions and cannot devote all our energy to the front lines.” The officer neither refused nor agreed.
Jiang Cunjian frowned: "This is very important, there are psionicists on the other side!"
"General Jiang, please rest assured, those psionicists will not participate in frontline combat. This is precisely one of the tasks we are tasked with," the officer said calmly.
“You mean…” Jiang Cunjian was taken aback.
The officer smiled slightly and said, "Don't you want to know where the master and Minister Li have been these past few days?"
...
ambush,
Still lying in ambush.
Qin Che and Li Xin went to many different places, but they couldn't find anyone.
Li Xin was unsure of himself, but seeing Qin Che's composure, he didn't say anything.
No psionicists have appeared on the main battlefield yet, which Li Xin has gradually figured out, and the enemy is also waiting.
The battle of patience is now the deciding factor for both sides.
However, Qin Che, being in the shadows, had more initiative.
"Over there in the defense zone, the three commanders don't seem to like the officers of the First Mobile Squadron very much," Li Xin whispered to Qin Che.
"The Special Operations Team can't be transferred, but the Cabinet needs them for duty, and the Second Mobile Team is the same. Speaking of which, this temporary officer is one of yours. Is he reliable?" Qin Che asked suspiciously.
“He’s reliable. I personally promoted him.” Li Xin shook his head. “It’s just that he’s not easy to get along with. He’s too rigid. It’s a personality issue.”
Sudden,
Qin Che gestured for him to be quiet.
A thought flashed through Li Xin's mind, and he became fully alert.
The person has arrived.
There was a small clearing in front of the woods; that was where they kept watch.
At that moment, a rustling sound arose in the woods, and several figures appeared in the clearing.
The orderly movement of the surrounding psionic particles suddenly became blurred and distorted, and an extremely powerful aura enveloped the area.
Very strong!
Li Xin held his breath. At that moment, a hand covered his right shoulder; it was Qin Che.
He moved subtly, turning to look at Li Xin, signaling him to prepare for battle, as the surrounding psionic particles would not affect them.
Both were extraordinary beings. Li Xin only felt a slight pressure from this spiritual pressure, which clearly indicated that the other party's level was higher than his.
Two people appeared ahead, and they could see them clearly from their hiding place in the woods.
Li Xin was somewhat anxious, but he was able to prevent them from being exposed thanks to Qin Che's superb control over psionic particles.
"Is it settled, right here?"
In the open space, a man with a resolute expression, tall stature, and a book in his arm asked a question.
"This is the best terrain. It's surrounded by mountains on all sides, in a depression, and not far from the main battlefield. We can ambush everyone here, and you and I can go and lure them out."
The other person was dressed in a floral robe, had a strong build, a buzz cut, and calm eyes.
This kind of attire belongs to a Spirit Official in the wasteland. Qin Che could tell at a glance that the extraordinary person, the Spirit Official, and the mannerisms were the person they were waiting for.
Li Xin gripped the spiritual energy core at his waist, focusing his mind and holding his breath.
He looked closely and realized that the book in the tall man's arms was exactly the same as Qin Che's Book of Extraordinary Things.
Huh? That's strange.
Could it be that there are two copies of this extraordinary book?
Qin Che suppressed their breathing, lowered his body, and his bright blue eyes flashed across them.
