Chapter 537

The large number of missing scouts finally made general Rostock into a rage.

Then the commander of the storm army issued a military order and directly pulled out two cavalry battalions. More than 4000 cavalry were divided into four routes. Along the northern part of the Kaspersky line of defense, they carried out a zipper search along a long line of more than 200 kilometers.

Because of the lack of intelligence, since the other side can eat a small number of scouts one by one, and none of them can be put back alive, general Rostock began to be cautious. He determined that since the other side can eat a small number of scouts, the other side must have a large number of troops and strong fighting power. So he ordered that the cavalry should not be divided, so as not to be defeated by each other.

Four thousand cavalry troops spent three days and three nights on a large-scale search of the northern part of the Kaspersky line. They walked through hillsides, woods and streams, looking for every suspicious clue.

One by one, the information was sent back to the main plug of Kaspersky's line of defense by express. What's more puzzling is that these search teams found some places that are considered to be the most likely places for scouts to be attacked, and found some blood stains left on the ground. Fortunately, this is the north. Because of the cold weather, the blood stains on the ground will not completely evaporate for a while, but the problem is that they can't find a body! Whether it's horses or people!

Finally, on the fourth day of the search, a thousand people search team has opened the search area to the edge of the frozen forest, and finally found the enemy!

It can be said that this is the first night battle between the human army and the criminal army since the war in the age of myth ten thousand years ago!

The thousand cavalry found a trail of the enemy outside an abandoned border town on the southern edge of the frozen forest. As the last inhabited place at the south end of the former frozen forest, that town once became a place for mercenary activities due to the prosperity of poaching activities, as well as various black hearted caravans from the mainland to buy Warcraft game.

With the establishment of the Kaspersky line of defense. After the mass migration of the imperial people to the north of the line of defense, the town has become a deserted place. After a winter, most of the houses were crushed by snow. The town, which used to have more than thousands of people at its most glorious time, is now as quiet as a ghost house.

When the cavalry thousand arrived, it was the longest distance they had been allowed to enter. General Rostock's order did not allow them to go any further into the frozen forest.

Looking at the darkness, the team leader originally planned to rest in the abandoned town for a night. As a result, most of the houses were crushed by snow outside the town. So he gave up the idea, instead of ordering the whole army to enter the town, he walked a little distance around the town and ordered the whole army to return the same way, saving their fate!!

The battle started in an instant! Just after ordering the team to change the former team, a group of "monsters" suddenly emerged in the town!!

Those monsters are riding huge wolves. The giant wolf is wearing iron armor, and the enemy on the wolf's back is covered with iron armor. Tall and stout, with sharp beaks and fangs, and Howling like beasts, he rushed to the imperial search team!

Imperial cavalry in a hurry to fight, the first face to face suffered huge losses!

A whole back team of fifty. Under the first charge of the giant wolf cavalry, they were all destroyed. Those wolf riders are huge, but they have strong jumping ability! They didn't charge close to the ground, but came out of town in the evening under the curtain of night. One by one, the abandoned houses jump from each other, just like ghosts one by one!

Imperial cavalry in the initial panic, the storm corps and Warcraft fighting for years to develop the Biao defend temperament also broke out! The cavalry of the northern main battle army, which can be regarded as the most elite of the Empire, regained their composure in the shortest time, while the deputy commander of the leader, calmly directed all the cavalry to turn around at the first time and made a cavalry counterattack with the other side!

The battle is extremely fierce, and the human cavalry is not suitable for these monsters. They jump back and forth, high to high, and even a few meters high super ability, let the cavalry into a bitter battle!

Fortunately, there are not many wolf cavalry here, and the field battle outside the town and the flat terrain also limit the talent and strong jumping ability of wolf cavalry!

A thousand imperial cavalry. We don't have many enemies. There are only about two hundred wolf riders. After strong resistance, the imperial cavalry repulsed the enemy. Those wolf riders left more than 20 corpses, and then all retreated in the dark. After the raid failed, they were very clever not to fight with the imperial army.

But even so, the loss figures of imperial cavalry are helpless... According to the statistics after the war, more than 130 cavalry were killed, 40 were slightly injured and 8 were seriously injured.

Such a ratio of exchange and war losses moved the officers of the empire so far!

The cavalry of the Empire's most elite storm regiment, in 1000 vs. 300 (according to the estimation of the human search team after the event, the number of monsters they met was absolutely no more than 300). Although the opponent was attacking secretly, the loss ratio of humans and the opponent was about one to seven in the fierce battle in the field! This proportion, in any case, is intolerable!

The battle scares the search team even more: Fortunately, they didn't enter the town! Because in the flat field, human cavalry can still maintain a complete line to fight against each other, but if they rashly entered the abandoned town before, there are uneven buildings on both sides of the narrow street, and wolf cavalry with super terrible jumping ability can jump from the buildings on both sides of the road, Enough to make crowded in narrow streets unable to expand the line of human cavalry suffer greater damage!

But the other side calmly retreats through the night, the human cavalry simply cannot, also dare not pursue!

The leader of the storm Corps officer has full experience, he is very keen to judge a point: obviously, the other side of this monster, it seems that there is no visual impairment at night! And more than half of the soldiers in human land, at night. Will become blind under the effect of night blindness! Although the soldiers of storm corps are well paid, well fed and in better health than ordinary human soldiers, more than 30% of them suffer from night blindness, which is the lowest proportion in the imperial army.

After the enemy retreated, the search cavalry did not leave immediately. Under the order of the officer, the cavalry cut the body of a monster on the spot. They checked their internal organs. This is the basic experience of death search scouts. They need to cut the enemy's stomach and check the remaining food in the other's stomach bag, so as to judge whether the enemy's Army food is enough.

But after cutting a monster's stomach on the spot, the scene surprised everyone!

Because the soldier in charge of the knife saw a few fingers in a monster's stomach bag!

These fingers, which have not yet been digested, still have a roughly complete outline. Obviously, it belongs to human beings!

From the stomach of a giant wolf, some other parts of the human body were also found

This leads to a very simple conclusion: they are cannibal! In other words, their food is human!

and. It's very likely that what they ate was the missing scouts and cavalry!

In danger, the officers of the search team immediately made a decision. We can't leave the dead soldiers' bodies here to be wasted by the enemy, but if all the more than 100 huge bodies are taken to the ground, it will easily reduce the speed of the March and increase the possibility of being attacked on the road. So the officer endured the pain and let people burn more than 100 dead cavalry bodies on the spot!

This decision filled everyone's heart with grief and anger. Because of the customs in Roland, people can't be cremated after death“ Enjoy "cremation" treatment. Only the heretics who were burned to death on the burning pillars of the temple!

But in order not to let the dead soldiers' bodies be turned into food in the belly of the enemy, the search team had to make this helpless decision.

After a big fire, the rest of the human cavalry returned vigilantly.

The other three search teams also encountered different degrees of fighting later, but in contrast, the scale was much smaller. A search team encountered about 20 giant wolf cavalry, but the enemy was very cunning, hundreds of meters away. I saw the human cavalry. It's going away soon.

Another search team arrived at five wolf riders, after paying the price of six killed and four injured. Kill three of them, but let the other two escape.

Six days later, when the search team all returned to Kaspersky, they handed in all the information of this line, which immediately caused a sensation!

Many people have seen the bodies of the giant wolves brought back, as well as the wolf cavalry!

Wolf cavalry's stature is similar to that of human beings, but they are bigger and stronger. After taking off their armor, their body structure is similar to that of human beings with wolf heads, but their whole body is covered with thick fur. After analysis, the imperial soldiers came to a sighing conclusion: This is an unknown creature, their whole body fur, Make them have much stronger cold resistance than human beings! In other words, in the cold weather in the north, they can not care about the cold weather at all, and can maintain sufficient physical strength and combat effectiveness in the cold. These are human weaknesses.

From the analysis of the fighting process, these monsters not only have strong fighting power, but their individual fighting power is much stronger than that of human cavalry. After analysis, the imperial army made a general judgment that the fighting power of such a wolf cavalry is equal to that of two elite human cavalry!

Of course, if it's just these words, it won't let mankind fear, because these brave cavalry of storm corps have fought with powerful Warcraft for many years in the frozen forest, and Warcraft also has strong fighting capacity.

But the problem is that there are two other reasons for the real psychological changes, even a little fear

First of all, after analyzing the fighting process, human beings concluded that this kind of enemy has high intelligence! They're wearing armor, and even the giant wolves are wearing armor. Moreover, from the point of view of the combat process, they know the tactics of group Warfare!

Second... They eat people!

That is to say, this is a biological race with high intelligence. They know how to use tactics and weapons, and take human beings as food... At the same time, the number is probably very large!

Such a conclusion is enough to shake the hearts of the army“ It's just a small scout of the enemy! " In the commander's office, general Rostock summoned all the generals under his command, and they made a unanimous judgment: "this is only the vanguard scout sent to observe the terrain before the enemy's massive invasion! Just like we humans use cavalry as scouts and vanguards! They use these giant wolf cavalry as vanguards and scouts! They come from the north, out of the frozen forest! When they have finished surveying the terrain of this area in the North... We will be waiting for a large number of such monsters and enemies. " General Rostock's face was gloomy, and finally he made a decision: "send a message to general Andre, and let his airship troops move. We can't let the soldiers ride out to scout any more. It's too dangerous. The team's dispatch is just death. From now on, the scouts will not be allowed to patrol beyond ten miles around the fortress. The rest of the area will be left to general Andrea's air force. " Looking at the different expressions of the generals, general Rostock suddenly stood up and cried out, "I know what you think! But I don't think it's worth the fear! We are the storm corps! It's an invincible soldier in the snow! We have faced swarms of terrible Warcraft! And now we have better equipment, strong fortresses and fortresses, and a lot of friendly forces! We are ready for war! So... Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time for us to be afraid! " Speaking of this, Rostock fixed his eyes on the generals and gritted his teeth: "it's... Fighting time!" With that, Rostock pulled out his sword and held it high in his hand: "fight for Roland!" In awe, the generals drew their swords and responded: "fight for Roland!"
