Chapter 42 The Great Defeat (10)
?When Ishinuma stood on the tallest building in the city - a five-story building - overlooking the entire city, he still couldn't believe that he had succeeded. "".
In such a large city, there are only three humans - Ishinuma didn't know that one of the humans had escaped early - and they were so weak that they didn't even have the ability to fight back. It was like there was no defense!
It's hard to imagine that this is actually an important logistics base.
When he actually faced the mountain of arms and ammunition, Shizuma had no idea what they were, but the waves of fluctuations emitted by the spells attached to the ammunition still reminded Shizuma.
He immediately captured several evil spirits for interrogation.
These evil spirits surrendered immediately after the human mage army was wiped out.
Facing these hell natives, they have no ability to fight back at all, especially since there are no protective measures on the construction equipment they are attached to. Any hell native can destroy them with just a simple soul wave impact.
In fact, if the evil ghosts can obey the orders of company employees and enter the machine puppets in time, they can easily eliminate these hell natives who do not know whether to live or die. There are no creatures like Eidolon among them that can perform advanced soul-level attacks. They cannot
Break through the protective circle attached to the machine puppet.
But now, in the hands of these indigenous soldiers, the situation of the evil ghosts has not only not improved, but has even become worse. At least humans do not eat evil ghosts, and for the indigenous soldiers, evil ghosts are also good food!
Dozens of evil spirits were eaten as soon as they surrendered. If Ishinuma hadn't stopped them in time, the excited soldiers would have used local materials to hold a grand celebration banquet with evil spirits.
Look, these are these evil spirits, with heads and two ends, short-sighted.
When any mage who is involved in the ghost hunting profession is learning, the master will repeatedly warn evil ghosts that they cannot be trusted because they are cunning and cunning. It is not unreasonable.
Fortunately, Ishinuma was not dazzled by the victory and stopped the soldiers' impulsive behavior in time. Of course, to make up for it, Ishinuma allowed all the soldiers to loot the city as soon as possible, and they could take away whatever they liked.
Now soldiers were cheering in the streets, running around in every house with great interest, looting any wealth in sight.
The things that the mages of the westward marching army worked hard to rob from various indigenous settlements were all snatched back by the indigenous people.
Of course, none of this is important.
Especially for Stone Marsh.
From the evil ghost's mouth, Ishinuma easily obtained all the information he wanted, including the uses of those magical weapons and machine puppets, as well as various arrangements for the humans ahead, as well as their development scale.
These evil ghosts who can be assigned to do construction tasks are all dispatched after working in Kaifeng City for a period of time and performing relatively well, so they have a certain understanding of the company's development in hell.
When Ishinuma heard that thousands of humans had poured into Hell and that cities and colonies were sweeping across the entire western wilderness, the officer who thought he was brave was almost frightened. He immediately realized that he had obtained this
What a fluke this victory was. Then, he fell into a dilemma.
To defend or to retreat.
If we retreat, all the supplies in this logistics base must be destroyed and must not be left behind by the enemy.
However, those machine puppets were too solid. Ishinuma led a small team of soldiers to try them. After a long time of effort, they couldn't even leave a white mark.
If it cannot be destroyed, then this raid will have no meaning for Ishinuma, and it will become a pure robbery. Ishinuma's ambition is not to grab a vote and go home, otherwise, he would not have to risk it.
This is so dangerous.
But if the remaining defense, once the human side reacts, what he will face will be an army of machine puppets like a roaring tide. Even the large army will collapse in front of an army of this size. Ishinuma does not think that he has brought it with him.
A thousand defeated troops can create a miracle.
In fact, the best option is to retreat.
Ishinuma has already created a miracle. He captured the enemy's logistics base with a team of defeated troops and destroyed most of the supplies. I believe that as long as he leads the team back to the rear, he will definitely be rewarded and promoted. This is in the context of the great defeat on the western border.
, it is so eye-catching that it would be unreasonable to not give him a reward for being so eye-catching - although there is really no such thing as a place like hell where there is no sky.
But Ishinuma was not satisfied, he wanted to win more.
This is just like a gambler. After winning, he still wants to win more, and after winning more, he still wants to throw a few more times. Not everyone has a good mentality of giving up when good things come.
Ishinuma had been frustrated for so many years, and finally got the opportunity, and he was not willing to accept it just as soon as it was good.
With his current achievements, although they are outstanding, they are limited in terms of actual results and will definitely not bring him many rewards. He may be able to be promoted to two or three levels, but with his current position, even if he is promoted to three levels, it will still be difficult.
He is still a low-level officer. Even if he doesn't take such a risk, with the long life of these stone monsters, he has survived for eighteen hundred years. He can reach that position 10 times out of 10 based on his seniority, so why take such a strange risk?
.
Can't retreat, can't hold on!
Then neither retreat nor defend!
As a stone spirit, in terms of racial nature, he should be the calm and mature type who is not afraid of ten thousand or even the worst. But Ishinuma, who was red-eyed at gambling, seemed to be a different kind at this time. He wanted to take the risk again.
What a huge risk!
Ishinuma summoned the officers in the team together - he actually wanted to summon all the soldiers, but the soldiers were already jealous and they would not be able to summon them for a while. It would be a waste of time - and made an announcement
Xiang decided to recruit evil spirits to join the army!
This would have been absolutely unimaginable before.
How can a demon, the lowest form of life, a slave who is only worthy of being used as food, join the army?
Even though Ishinuma had almost established absolute authority in this team, after announcing this decision, it still caused a small uproar and questioning.
The officers all felt that this was unnecessary. After the robbery, all these evil spirits were dealt with, and the money and information were obtained. They just retreated quickly. What were they doing?
Most importantly, recruiting evil spirits to join the army is clearly against the laws of the dynasty.
The laws of the dynasty clearly stipulate that evil spirits, ethereal spirits and night gluttons are prohibited from joining the army. Because these three creatures are cunning, short-sighted and difficult to control, it is impossible for them to become qualified soldiers.
In the eyes of these lower-level officers, what Ishinuma did was simply committing suicide. Now that he has made such great achievements, he suddenly did something like this. Could it be that he was overwhelmed by the victory?
Chapter completed!
