Chapter 1335 Why don’t you come!
"I intend to follow the original plan, but I will appropriately increase the rest time during the day and strengthen the night duty work, so that the soldiers can be mentally prepared for night combat!"
They have been fighting the greenskin camp for so many years, and they have had night battles with the greenskins before.
Even night battles were carried out very frequently. After all, the greenskins were not stupid and knew that they had the advantage of vision at night.
Speaking of conditions, they were definitely unfavorable to them, there is no need to say more about that, but on the other hand, they had sufficient experience in fighting in such unfavorable environments.
Obviously, Marshal Adolf was determined to eliminate the trouble once and for all.
And in this matter, even Fisher, who had always felt sorry for his own casualties, now expressed his support with a firm look on his face.
This time, he did not do it to curry favor with the Saint Laurent Empire, but because Fisher also knew that they would never have peace as long as the greenskins were not eliminated.
Now that they have seized the opportunity, we must eliminate the trouble once and for all!
Among them, Li Ce had this intention in mind, which led to a quick consensus within the coalition forces.
"Then continue to advance as planned. Be extra careful when you encounter woodlands along the way where you can hide your troops!"
After that, another day passed. Since the large green-skinned army disappeared from under their noses, the air force, under pressure, became even busier.
They already needed to look for the scattered Centaur cavalry, so they arranged shifts last night and launched a night search in the hope of finding any traces of the large greenskin army.
But unfortunately, the impact of night on their vision was too great, and the dark green skin of the orcs looked like they were wearing field uniforms in this wild environment. Coupled with the cover of night, the air force could not find any trace of the enemy at all.
Under this premise, large areas of woodland like this undeveloped wilderness are numerous and very common, but it is obviously impossible for them to go deep into them.
That would be a very dangerous move for the air force.
At this stage, the number of Giant Eagle Knights in the Great Zhou is extremely limited. In fact, each troop, city, and fortress needs this configuration, and there are not enough for everyone.
In this situation, losing any one of them would be enough to make them feel painful for a long time.
This also means that the core purpose of the Giant Eagle Knight at this stage is to avoid risks and focus on auxiliary and supporting work.
After a busy night, although they were on shift, every member of the air force was nervous about the incident and each of them had a look of fatigue on their face.
"Damn greenskins, they probably didn't plan to take action during the day. It's been two nights, enough time for them to run away completely."
When this was mentioned, the captain of the Giant Eagle Knights became annoyed.
After all, it was their team that was responsible for carrying out the surveillance mission at the time. Such a large force just slipped away right under their noses, which made him very stressed.
After two consecutive nights of transfer, the scope continued to expand outward. When they still needed to search for the whereabouts of the scattered Centaur cavalry, it was obviously impossible to search them all with their limited air force.
Li Ce and Marshal Adolf were mentally prepared for this situation.
"According to my thinking, since the greenskins have done this, they won't let us find out easily. Instead of letting the air force continue to waste energy there, it is better to let them withdraw first and change their mission to provide air surveillance for the main force and cooperate with the main force to advance."
Their previous arrangement of air forces was more of an offensive active defense, achieving their desired goals by locking onto and monitoring every move of the enemy's large forces.
However, transferring the air forces back to their main forces and letting them conduct patrol-style air surveillance centered on the main forces is a passive defense.
At this stage, now that the enemy's trace has been completely lost, active defense with an offensive nature has lost most of its meaning. Calling back the air forces for passive defense can also save them some physical energy.
"I agree."
After Li Ce expressed his attitude, General Brett from the female warrior tribe was the first to express his stance.
"Let the air force withdraw first and save their strength for later where they will be more needed."
The air force of this coalition is mainly composed of the Giant Eagle Knights of the Great Zhou and the Pegasus Knights of the Female Warrior Clan. At this stage, the strength of the Great Zhou is there, and there is no fear of the Saint Roland Empire, the leader of the coalition.
Now that they have reached a consensus, it doesn't really matter whether the forces including the Saint Laurent Empire express their opinions or not.
But Marshal Adolf still expressed his attitude.
"I agree."
Now, Fisher and Peter had no room to disagree.
This decision was quickly passed unanimously. During this process, Zhou Xu, who also learned the latest situation, restored himself to his peak condition and led his personal guards to reunite with the main force.
If there was a little bit of instability before, then at this moment, with Zhou Xu's return, Marshal Adolf was completely fearless.
This feeling was like holding a pair of trump cards in his hand. He would dare to explode if the greenskin army dared to come! He even felt a little impatient now.
Why haven't you come yet? Why don't you come!
I don’t know if Marshal Adolf’s expectations have come true.
On the third night, a burst of urgent horn sounds completely broke the quiet night.
The soldier on night duty tried his best to shout out those two words at the top of his voice.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
This roar immediately set off a chain reaction, and the soldiers who heard these two words also started roaring together.
Inside the tent, Zhou Xu and others who were fast asleep were awakened by the sound of "enemy attack".
"Good fellow, he didn't choose to flee, but chose to turn back and launch an attack!"
The choice of the opposing greenskins was not beyond their expectations.
After all, in the situation at that time, the green skin on the opposite side only had two choices, and the probability was 50-50.
Now that it has been confirmed that the disappeared greenskin army has chosen to launch a night attack on them, Zhou Xu, who was on the passive defense, actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
At least you don't have to worry about what the other party is going to do.
In order to deal with possible night attacks, commanders within the coalition forces also take turns on night duty.
The time period when the greenskin army attacked in the dark happened to be the time when Marshal Adolf was on duty.
Without any hesitation, a series of orders were quickly issued from him.
"Soldiers, follow me to fight!"
