Chapter 103 Entering the Western Continent
"Will we win?" Felleg asked. In fact, he knew very well that no one could answer him such a question. There are too many reasons for the outcome of the war. The most important thing is naturally strength. Everyone has the same situation in the Western Continent, knows nothing, and has no basis for judgment.
The Hurricane Division only rested for six hours and set off again. This time, unlike before, when it really entered the battlefield of the Western Continent, even if it was just marched from the gaps of the enemy, it was possible to be discovered at any time.
In a large-scale battle where millions of people were twisted together, the Hurricane Division with only 10,000 people could not make much waves even if it was strong.
The Thunderstorm Division can defeat three legions, which is in sequence, and there are many friendly forces around it. In fact, in two consecutive large-scale battles, the Eastern Continent fought less.
Most of the 10,000 troops of the Hurricane Division were composed of regular soldiers of the Empire. These soldiers, who had experienced battles with the Mayan Empire, were considered half a veteran. In addition, they had first-class quality, so they had no doubt about their combat effectiveness. The battlefield ability was far beyond the comparison of new recruits. These were all the support of Felleg.
Along the way, there were scout cavalry teams as guides and continually sent commanders to pass the recent battlefield situation to the Hurricane Division for Felig to choose a route and avoid the Western Continental Army.
It was not until noon the next day that the Hurricane Division had left the battlefield a hundred kilometers away, and it seemed much calmer. There was no sound of war drums or shouting to kill, nor could it see corpses on the ground and blood-stained military flags.
After finding a small valley, Ferlig ordered a rest for a day and sent five hundred scouts to search in all directions.
Fortunately, this place is not in the territory of a certain empire, so it is safe for the time being. It seems that the situation in the Western Continent is similar to that in the Eastern Continent, with a vast area. There are also many places that are uninhabited, which makes Ferlig and others breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they also thought that the former assignment was not considered a suicide mission, nor was it intentionally asking Feleg to die. It seems that the possibility of Maya Light Rider surviving is still very high, and they are faster, as long as there is enough food.
And it was not discovered by the enemy, so it was too easy to find a place to hide.
Four hours later, Ferlig received a southwest reconnaissance notice. Thirty kilometers away from here, there was a dirt road, and a large number of Western Continental troops were heading to the front line.
The scouts drew the style of the opponent's military flag, but no one knew what the military flag represented.
As for how many people there are, the scouts cannot answer. Anyway, the ten columns cannot see the beginning and end, and there are at least a few legions of troops.
Ferlig was not worried about these things, it was not far from the front line. It was normal for reinforcements from the Western Continent to arrive, but Phil frowned.
"What's the problem?" Feleg waved his hand and asked the detective to go down and rest.
"Yes, I remember when the gate of war came out, the intelligence I got was gathering from the troops from the Western Continent.
Why did they send people to advance to the battlefield? Have they already assembled?" Phil said, and then called the scout back and asked in detail about the enemy's equipment, horses, logistics, etc.
Ferlig sighed secretly, he was really not a general. Phil had never commanded the army, but his military achievements were much better than him.
After a while, Phil finished asking. Some questions were not answered at all. They were considered veterans, but they did not expect that the commander would ask so much.
"It's not safe here. It seems we don't have time to rest and need to continue moving westward." Phil said.
"Why? What did you find?" Felleg asked, and after asking for a long time, he found nothing. Phil asked for a while. He actually said that it was not safe here?
"According to the reconnaissance, these Western Continental troops.
The equipment is only equivalent to the security army. From this point of view, the Western Continent is not ready to counterattack. From the direction they are walking, it can be seen that these people are not going forward to die, but are blocking the road."
"Close the road?" Ferlig asked in confusion.
"Yes, look at it. This is the frontline situation chart, our current offensive.
The area is still quite vast when it comes out of the gate of war. Starting from the first defense line, the longitudinal distance is 1,200 kilometers, and millions of troops cannot be blocked at all. They sent troops to prevent our Eastern Continental army from entering their hinterland.
"Phil said, constantly marking important positions on the map.
Ferlig said with a sudden inspiration: "You mean, the people in the Western Continent were very troubled by the Mayan light cavalry?"
Phil nodded and said, "Based on the known situation, this should be the case, and it can be judged that most of the Mayan Light Cavalry entering the hinterland of the Western Continent have been eliminated, otherwise it would be meaningless for them to close the road."
"Closing the road? How to block it? You must know that our army has an absolute advantage on the front-line battlefield." Wu Li said disdainfully. If a head-on war cannot be handled, it is useless to block the surrounding paths.
"Well, what Wu Li said makes sense. If you follow my inferences, you can continue to think about it..."
"The Western Continent is confident to defeat us on the frontal battlefield, or at least to completely block our offensive?" Feleg said.
"It's very likely." Phil nodded.
"Why are they so confident?" Wu Li thought hard. It seems that there is no reason. The war is inconsistent, and no one dares to guarantee that he will win.
"Wu Li, Feileg, are you confident?" Phil's face was not very good-looking.
“That’s right.
"Feleg thought for a while and said that he was a magician, and at such a young age, he had reached the level of an intermediate magician. Even if he lost a war and had a hurricane, he would be confident to escape back to the Eastern Continent. Besides, the Hurricane Division was equipped with memory metal armor and weapons. I dare not say that one was for ten, five was for six, so it was okay.
"Of course, the Hurricane Division is unique. There are only three divisions like this in the entire Eastern Continent.
What's more, in our army, there are three magicians and six martial saints equipped with the Martial God Sword. Looking at the equipment of those soldiers, I am certainly confident.
"Wu Li answered honestly, he knew that his senior brother would not ask useless questions.
"Yes, we are very confident, but I can only describe the current arrangements of the Western Continent. What does their confidence come from?" Phil murmured to himself. There is too little information. Even no matter how smart a person is, he cannot infer more results.
Regardless of whether Phil's judgment was correct, Felleg did not dare to ignore it. The Hurricane Division canceled the entire body and only rested for an hour, continuing to march into the inland of the Western Continent. Fortunately, there were only 10,000 people, and this place did not belong to any empire. Apart from the continuous emergence of Western Continent reinforcements, there was no Western Continent person at all.
It is relatively easy to avoid the enemy's army. As a magician, the Eye of Real is just the most basic magic. Ferig, who was an apprentice of magic back then, could be used in a cave, but the effect was not very good.
There are three magicians in the Hurricane Division and ten magic apprentices. As gunners of magic crystal cannons, they follow the team. There is no need to fight now. Filig divided them into two groups. As the scouts set out, they can detect the enemy one step earlier. Unless there are magicians in the scouts, they can always see the enemy first.
A week later, the Hurricane Legion had entered about 1,500 kilometers of the Western Continent. Shortly after the camp, there was a reward for reconnaissance. In the southwest, a small village was discovered, which marked that it had entered the territory of a certain empire.
Ferlig and his group were sitting in the big tent and worried. The area of the Western Continent was similar to that of the Eastern Continent, and they could imagine how big it was.
Not to mention the entire Western Continent, even within an empire, the area is too large. It is really difficult to find the Mayan Light Cavalry.
On this land, the Mayan Legion will definitely be very careful and find a place where no one can hide as much as possible. This will make the Hurricane Division, which also needs to be careful, go to find it? Moreover, so far, they do not know whether the Mayan Legion still exists.
It was midnight, but he couldn't think of any solution. When he was about to rest, Will entered the tent after reporting. He is currently a captain in the Hurricane Division and has a thousand soldiers under him.
Seeing Will covered in dust, Felleg stood up and asked, "Will, what are you doing?" Although he marched all the way, in order to avoid the people of the Western Continent, he has not been fast in the past one or two days and has been resting in the middle of the night. How could this happen?
Will smiled honestly and said, "Sir, I will take a few people out for a walk. Here, there is an official road, four miles away from the official road, and there is a small village. I found an army stationed there, which is a bit strange."
Following Will's continuous movement on the map, Filigo found that the official road had been marked, but he didn't know where it leads, and to the east was the front line. The small village that Will mentioned had not been found by Hurricane Reconnaissance before.
Judging from the map, it is at least sixty kilometers away from the current Hurricane Division's residence, and this guy actually ran so far.
Generally speaking, when marching, the range of the reconnaissance cavalry is ten to fifteen kilometers. When stationed, the distance is no more than twenty-five kilometers. Will runs too far, let alone he is the captain of the squad, so he doesn't need to do anything like reconnaissance.
"How many people are there? What's strange about it?" Phil marked the small village on the map.
"It should be about a thousand people. As for the strange places, there are many. This army has no armor and is covered with black cloth clothes. I think the cloth clothes have no defense ability.
Each person had three war horses, neither soldier nor war horse, and had no weapons. He carried a long black stick on his back. I suspected that it was their weapon, but..." Will said in detail, but in the end he couldn't figure out what the black stick had.
