But then I thought, the two professionals must have joined the army, and my existence has been known.
The two of them might be waiting for him around the camp.
Zhang Mu is not afraid of being ambushed. He can rely on resurrection and exchange his life for the enemy's army.
The problem is, Brando is not stupid.
He knew that Zhang Mu would use Straus's Falling Spirit, and if it hit the army, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties.
Based on this, how could he passively defend? He would most likely run to hang around near the Gul Army.
Once they learned that their side was attacked and confirmed that Zhang Mu was not in the army, they would probably cast a division-level magic on the Gul army.
The First Army only has this much wealth, and if it all goes to war, it will be gone, so naturally they are unwilling to do that.
What's more, this battle is not only to defeat the enemy, but also to cultivate Domit.
After thinking it over again and again, Zhang Mu pulled Mi He back to the command post and watched Domit formulate tactics without saying a word.
Domit must have understood what he meant, because from beginning to end, he never asked for his opinion or said anything like "Is this okay?"
The most nervous one should be Mih.
Watching Domit's orders coming out one by one, he wanted to remind him several times to be steady and careful.
But seeing that Zhang Mu didn't say anything, he had no choice but to hold it back.
until the next day.
After a fierce battle between the two sides, knowing that enemy reinforcements were coming, Domit actually ordered all the soldiers to rest in place and not take too many precautions.
Mih finally couldn't help it and stood up from the wooden chair.
"More... Sir, we have already lost more than 2000 men. Your orders will increase..."
Domit turned around with a blank expression and a quiet look in his eyes: "Mr. Mihe, I am the commander of the First Army and the highest commander in wartime."
He could call out the names of all the soldiers in the First Army.
The reported number of casualties not only made Mih sad, but also washed over his soul again and again.
The Domit of today and the Domit of a few hours ago are two different people.
"Mih: "..., I understand, Commander."
Sitting back on the wooden chair, Zhang Mu patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Children have to grow up.
He will be curious about the outside world, have his own experiences, form his own ideas, and it’s time to let go.”
Having said that, Mih also understands the truth.
But when Gur's army was defeated, Domit ordered the entire army to defend the next hill to the death, and he became excited again.
This time Zhang Mu did not stand still, he raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, pushing him back to the chair: "He is the commander, now, even I have to obey his orders.
Without rules, there will be no order."
As the battle reports on his own casualties continued to come back, Mih's expression became increasingly depressed.
Even after hearing that the Gul army's mortars had successfully inflicted heavy damage on the Lagu army, there was no improvement.
Domit didn't explain to him. After reading a battle report, he turned to Zhang Mu and ordered: "Marshal, it's time for you to set off."
Smiling, Zhang Mu stood up and walked out of the tent.
About half an hour later, they returned, and with them came the news that the last 30,000 soldiers of Lagu's army had been annihilated.
Domit's eyelids twitched.
Last night, Zhang Mu told him that when formulating tactics, he could add a setting for his side - our army has weapons that can deliver lethal blows to all human units within a certain range, except for high-level professionals.
At that time, he was a little confused, thinking, are there any weapons that the Marshal equipped the First Army with so powerful?
Although he had doubts in his heart, since it was the marshal who said so, he did not doubt it, and when discussing the plan with his adjutant, he took this weapon into consideration.
In other words, just treat it as a trump card.
Therefore, Domit decided from the beginning to use it to deal the final and fatal blow to the Lagu army.
In the first round of fighting between the two armies, Lagu's vanguard was completely wiped out.
According to the information obtained by the sentinels, the enemy still did not send out its main force in the second wave, but continued to use the lives of 20,000 soldiers in exchange for weapons intelligence on their side.
Domit immediately activated the backup strategy, with the entire army retreating to the adjacent hills and using the trenches dug in advance to inflict maximum casualties on the enemy.
It went smoothly. The 50,000 soldiers of the Lagu Army could not bear the losses and launched a concentrated charge to try to decide the outcome.
But Domit knew that this was still a test from the enemy commander, as could be seen from the fact that Lagu still had 30,000 soldiers stationed in two areas on standby.
At this time, the Gur army also lost most of its soldiers, with only more than 3,000 people left.
Ordinary soldiers were not a big threat and it was difficult for them to break through the defense, but Lagu's knights relied on their agility to keep dodging bullets and charging forward.
The fire network was very dense, and knights who were jumping and shuttling among the trees were constantly hit by bullets.
Most of Koragu's low-level professionals were placed in the third batch of reinforcements. There were too many of them, and finally a few knights broke through the firepower line and rushed into the trenches to kill.
The First Army soldiers' close-range shots were dodged by the knights, and they were unable to defeat the enemy at all.
In the end, he had no choice but to rush to the enemy and detonate a grenade to exchange his life for theirs.
Unable to wait any longer, Domit ordered the artillery company lurking at the foot of the mountain more than ten kilometers away to pour artillery shells onto the top of the mountain.
As for their own soldiers, they hid in caves to avoid being accidentally injured.
At this point, Gideon believed he had seen through the killing principle of the Ghor army's new weapons, and ordered the soldiers to disperse as much as possible when attacking.
To be honest, he was able to find the weaknesses of firearms and artillery shells in such a short battle and respond instantly. His military sense is indeed extraordinary.
If the knights, who are individually strong in martial arts, were to split up into small groups and conduct special operations in the forest, the Gul army would basically have no ability to resist.
Unable to catch up or escape, the intermediate knight relies on his extraordinary physique to dodge the bullets, and Gul will definitely be defeated in a small-scale encounter.
They were scattered far apart, and artillery shells could hardly kill them effectively.
Unfortunately, Gideon has his limitations after all.
What he was facing were not young saplings, but towering trees that could withstand the storm.
Thermobaric bombs were a trap that Zhang Mu had set up in the Silent Forest half a year ago to ambush the city lord. It would be used now.
The soldier of Lagu who had managed to survive was knocked unconscious by the first bomb, so he did not see the dozen or so thermobaric bombs that followed.
The 30,000 Lagu soldiers who had just assembled and whose officers were busy issuing orders were sent to the other side by the heat and suffocation.
After expressing his admiration for the fact that the Marshal actually had such a terrifying weapon, Domit said to Zhang Mu: "Lagu's final strength should be coming soon."
"Yeah." Zhang Mu, who was sitting on a wooden chair, folded his arms across his chest. "I don't know where the detachment on the back of the sky beast is, but I don't think Lagu would leave it unused."
"Master Marshal, do you know their strength?"
"I wasn't there when they landed. I didn't even see a few people."
"so……"
Domit frowned slightly. An enemy who knows nothing is the most troublesome.
"Report!" The soldier sitting at the table with headphones on shouted, "The main force of our army was attacked by sky monsters!"
"The number of enemy troops!" Domit said in a deep voice.
"About three hundred."
It wasn't much, but he didn't feel relieved. Instead, his heart seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, making it hard to breathe.
The soldier continued reading the battle report: "All three hundred of them are professionals. Their specific levels cannot be confirmed. We can only see..."
He seemed to be shocked, and his breath stopped for a few seconds before he took a deep breath: "I only saw half of the knights grabbing the other half of the magicians and jumping from the back of the monster that was a hundred meters high to the ground.
Magicians... All magicians, raise your magic shields!"
The presence of a magic shield indicates that the person is a high-level magician, possibly with a few wizards mixed in.
Able to land safely from a height of 100 meters... a senior knight.
Three hundred senior professionals!
The officers beside the sand table were almost stunned, with their mouths wide open. The soldier who was reading the battle report and his comrades on both sides also looked at him in astonishment.
Zhang Mu raised his eyelids but said nothing.
After a few seconds, Domit finally came back to his senses: "Retreat! Retreat to the outskirts of the Quiet Forest!"
After yelling, he said to Zhang Mu: "Marshal, you and Mr. Mi He should go to provide cover immediately!"
"Yes, commander." Zhang Mu stood up, opened the door curtain with Mi He, and ran towards the battlefield.
Mih's speed move was so fast that the trees on both sides flew backwards.
Suddenly, the blurry and distorted space around him returned to normal, and Zhang Mu wanted to ask what they were stopping for.
Just as I raised my head, I heard a voice coming from the front.
"Mr. Fake City Lord, we meet again."
In front, the magician named Brando walked out from behind the tree, holding a wand in his right hand.
Squinting his eyes, Zhang Mu whispered to Mi He: "We don't have time to waste with them, use sprinting..."
"Sir." In the dim forest, Brando's golden hair was still dazzling. "There are more than one space magician in Sol Continent."
A magician, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, walked out from the darkness behind him.
This is the dual-element wizard who rescued Brando that day.
Zhang Mu stared at him silently, knowing full well that he could not leave.
The other party knew that he had the Straus Fallen Spirit, but still dared to block him halfway. It was obvious that he had something to rely on.
Even if I can't defeat myself, I can definitely hold me back.
The First Army...
Zhang Mu retracted his thoughts and realized that worrying was useless: "Mihe, can you handle that magician?"
"give it to me."
I had already drunk several bottles of medicine before setting off, which saved me a lot of trouble now.
