Chapter 209 Gift from the God of Light
Xia Yu nodded and turned around and told Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez about their decision, "Our goal is to seize the core of the Holy Spirit, so I suggest first sending a part of the troops into the city to ensure the safety of the core and position its position. In addition, you can also contact the church of Light in the city. They are enemies with the Dark Empire, and maybe they can get their help. Although their power is not strong, it will be a little help if they can win over it."
Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez hesitated: "We only have five hundred people, and we have to stay some people to guard the base. We can no longer divide the troops. If we want to go to war with the enemy, every soldier is important."
"No need for many soldiers, just give me the special forces team. Don't forget the two thousand people sent by the enemy. They might have already sneaked into the Holy City. If you don't want to be suddenly attacked by someone during the battle, I can avoid this."
The special forces team has only 30 people in total, and there are no heavy weapons, so the impact on the entire battle situation is relatively less than that.
This time, Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez did not refuse, "Okay, but I can't provide any other recruitment, and we must go to the preset position as soon as possible and set off in half an hour. If you have anything you need, prepare as soon as possible."
The six nodded and then took action separately.
Xia Yu went to the quarantine officer to collect some bullet grenades, and also made a saber. The sword he picked up yesterday was armed to his teeth, and the others were also ready for their own preparations.
Xia Yu and the special forces were dismissed. Although there were only thirty people, they were divided into three teams, namely the Alpha Squad, Beta Squad, and Omega Squad, led by a captain. They can perform tasks alone or cooperate with them.
Although there are no heavy weapons, they can be said to be well-equipped. Xia Yu asked these three teams to report on the team composition and gained more confidence in his actions.
Half an hour later, the expeditionary army in the camp was in order, and the mobile team set out first. They also brought Xia Yu and others and thirty special forces, followed by four self-propelled mortars and four ammunition transport vehicles. These vehicles were also full of people, and two platoons of infantry were crowded. There was no way, there were too few vehicles, so they could only try to pile up people as much as possible.
These people will occupy pre-set positions as vanguards to pave the way for subsequent large forces.
The remaining two infantry companies could only advance on foot, led by Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez himself, and he also brought the guard platoon and some technical personnel.
Because there were too many supplies in the camp, the lieutenant colonel had to leave 30 people from the air warning team and an infantry platoon to defend. There were 70 people in total, which was a little less, but there was no way to fight to the decisive battle, and every soldier was precious.
After removing the special forces team for Xia Yu, Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez had only 400 troops left. Fortunately, the enemy had only 70,000 to 80,000 after the division of troops.
Xia Yu, Xuanniao and Black Cat both got on the first car, together with the thirty special forces soldiers who wanted to cooperate with the operation,
This time, Xia Yu also realized their biggest weakness - the fact that there were too few troops.
Xia Yu sighed: "It would be great if we could recruit some soldiers locally, even if we carried sandbags and carried ammunition."
Xuanniao shook his head: "The people of this era are all ancient people, why should we let them listen to us?"
Xia Yu suddenly had an idea, "It's not impossible. Maybe we can start with the faith of the local residents! By the way, the locals should also have religious beliefs, right?"
The black cat suddenly interrupted, "I think most of them believe in the God of Light."
"God of Light? How do you know? The game introduction didn't say it."
The black cat asked in confusion: "Isn't this obvious? Since there is the existence of the God of Darkness, there will definitely be God of Light. This kind of binary belief is usually this routine. Light defeats darkness and so on. There are too many such settings in the game."
Xia Yu thought about it and it made sense. If there was a Rakuten God of Light, it would be convenient.
Xuanniao said, "But where do we find the God of Light?"
Xia Yu suddenly laughed: "Hehe, don't worry about this, I have my own way - Dragon Rider, you can follow us too, I need your help."
"Need me? Why?"
The Dragon Knight naturally doesn't want to go there. Compared to going to the city to find the core of psychic energy, he is more interested in the battlefield.
"Don't forget that our goal this time is to seize the core of the Holy Spirit. We need to start from the faith of God of Light to win over the locals. Don't you believe in the Holy Light? It's just right to come in handy."
The dragon cavalry nodded helplessly, "Okay."
The straight-line distance of the camp is only fifty kilometers away from Kale City, which is just over an hour for the chariots.
Ten all-terrain armed reconnaissance vehicles, four self-bolted artillery runs, and four ammunition transport vehicles used their camps in a mighty manner. In an hour, the convoy arrived at the canyon where the battle broke out yesterday. Xia Yu saw the scene that he would never forget for his life. Countless vultures hovered over the battlefield yesterday, making a creeping cry. When they approached a little, the smelly smell immediately came to his face.
Thousands of people died in the canyon, and the mobile team had only fifty people, so naturally they did not have the ability to bury them, nor were they interested in burying them.
In addition, the weather was hot, and the corpses were already emitting a foul smell.
The vultures were pecking at the flesh that had not yet been completely rotten, and there were terrifying scenes of blood and blood everywhere. The soldiers were naturally able to remain calm. Xia Yu and others had also considered that they had seen the world, and at most they were a little disgusting.
What surprised Xia Yu was that the little girl Black Cat was not too shocked. Although her face turned pale, she was neither nauseous nor vomited nor was she scared to lose her mind.
When the convoy drove past the corpses, Xia Yu noticed some panicked figures running away from the corpses, holding some collected clothes and weapons in his hand, hid on both sides of the canyon, watching the convoy with fear.
These people were wearing coarse cloth clothes and a headscarf. They had dark skin and a hungry and yellow complexion. They looked like poor people.
"What are they doing?" Black Cat asked curiously.
Ergouzi curled his lips, "What else can I do? Just pick up the corpse."
Yesterday they only picked up some gold, silver and jewelry to leave, but for these ordinary people, whether it is clothes, armor, weapons, or even dead horse meat, they are very valuable. Horse meat can be eaten as long as it is not rotten. Cooking more is always a precious protein, and armor is even more expensive. Maybe they can make a fortune by picking up one set. No wonder they run to touch the corpse at the risk of being shot.
The soldiers in the convoy were disdainful of these villagers and were not even interested in shooting and driving them away, but Xia Yu was a little interested.
He asked the driver to stop by the road and jumped out of the car. The black cat and the dragon cavalry immediately followed with guns.
Xia Yu asked kindly: "Hello, are you residents nearby?"
The villagers looked at him timidly, and an old white-bearded man was pushed out and bowed conservatively. "Sir, we are farmers nearby. Is there anything we can do to serve?"
"Don't be nervous, I have no malice. These people are believers of the Dark Empire. They are here to destroy this world. We are the messengers of the God of Light, so we killed them. Do you know the God of Light?"
The old man nodded hurriedly, "We are all good people of the God of Light, and we have cultivated fields for the priests of Kale for generations." Seeing his nervous look, he seemed to be afraid of being killed as a believer in the darkness.
There was actually a God of Light? Xia Yu was a little surprised, and the black cat behind him squeezed his eyes proudly.
Xia Yu took out a piece of chocolate and handed it over, "Try it, this is a gift from the God of Light."
There were a lot of substances in the military camp, including ammunition and various portable military rations. The taste was mostly unsatisfactory. Only this chocolate tasted very good, and no one else took a lot of them.
The villager took it with a hesitation, but he didn't dare to refuse. He bit it hard. He was stunned at first, and immediately looked excited. He ate the chocolate in a few bites, licked his tongue on the wrapping paper, looking intoxicated.
Xia Yu was not surprised. For ancient people, sweeteners were very precious, especially for these poor farmers, who might never be late for sweets in their lives.
