Chapter 125 Escape from Death
Chapter 125 Escape from Death
"We can't go on like this, it's too passive." The current stalemate can only be maintained by Darwin's magic, but the cost to Darwin is also huge.
Alpha and Darwin watched the battlefield closely, trying to find the ninja's weakness. Suddenly, Alpha found an opportunity. He pointed to the ninja's left shoulder and shouted, "That's it, Darwin. Focus your magic on his left shoulder." Darwin quickly adjusted his magic and focused all his energy on the ninja's left shoulder.
"Fireball Jutsu!" A fireball streaked through the air and headed straight for the ninja. The ninja tried to dodge, but the fireball was too fast, so the ninja could only swing his sword to cut it off. However, the fireball exploded in the air and instantly engulfed the ninja. However, this did not cause much damage to the ninja. The ninja continued to rush forward, and Alpha and Darwin had to attack again.
"Wind Blade!" Darwin raised his staff, and the whistling wind blade shot towards the ninja. The ninja swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, splitting the wind blade in half. However, this move also slowed down the ninja's speed.
Darwin seized the opportunity and launched a powerful magic attack. "Ice Cone Technique!" Ice cones shot past the ninja, trying to surround her. The ninja tried to dodge, but the ice cones were too fast. The corners of her clothes were scratched by several ice cones, and her body gradually stiffened, and her speed and agility dropped significantly.
Alpha and Darwin took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Alpha's fighting spirit slash and Darwin's fireballs attacked the ninja one after another. The ninja was exhausted and the attacks became weaker and weaker.
"Fighting Qi Slash!" Just when the ninja dodged the magic, Alpha's Fighting Qi Slash broke through the air again and hit the ninja directly.
The ninja suddenly stepped back to avoid the fighting spirit slash, but Alpha was waiting for this opportunity. The powerful fighting spirit slash gathered from Arthur's sword once again blocked the ninja's route.
At the same time, Darwin's magic also blocked the ninja's routes on both sides. At this moment, the ninja could only choose to move forward or backward. Alpha took a big step forward, as if he was ready to launch the Dou Qi Slash again. At this moment, the ninja disappeared out of thin air.
"Lord Alpha, it's above our heads!" The monkey's reminder seemed to be too late, as the ninja's attack this time was fatal.
Watching the long knife slashing down, Alpha felt that time was so slow, but his body had almost no reaction. Perhaps this was the last glimmer of life at the end of his life. Looking at the horrified eyes of Darwin and the monkey, Alpha knew that he could not die.
Just when the long sword was one centimeter away from Alpha's eyebrows, countless lightning bolts suddenly burst out from Alpha's body.
The sudden burst of energy pushed Alpha's speed to the limit. His body suddenly retreated, and his long sword smashed heavily on the ninja's long sword.
This attack contained the power of shock and silence. The long sword broke into two pieces instantly, and the ninja's body was knocked away fiercely. He rolled on the ground for dozens of meters before he stopped fiercely.
"I didn't expect you had this ability, Captain Alpha." The ninja was in a very miserable state, with blood all over his body.
"I just don't want to use my life-saving trick." Alpha looked at the ninja calmly. He already knew that his third commandment was about lightning, but he didn't know how to activate it yet.
"Do you think I will believe you?" The ninja struggled to get up. Facing Alpha's super-limit burst, he was still frightened and couldn't believe that this was Alpha's normal attack ability.
"You can come over and try." Alpha looked at the enemy in front of him calmly.
However, Darwin's fireball attacked again, and the ninja finally chose to flee. Regardless of whether Alpha was lying or not, he did not dare to face Darwin's long-range attack head-on.
"Captain Alpha, I won't give you a chance to survive next time we meet." After saying this, the ninja disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Remember, it is the Capital Alliance that is killing you." Before leaving, the ninja left a thought-provoking sentence. Under the city wall in the distance, the ninja finally couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
The ninja's speed and attack ability are extremely strong, but its defense is extremely weak. Although Alpha's explosive attack was blocked by the ninja, his arm was broken.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Even though ninjas have the special ability to speed up recovery, it would probably take a month to recover.
"Help me get on the horse, we'll go back immediately." Alpha's legs were almost numb. The super-limit explosion just now stimulated his body with the power of thunder and lightning, but his legs also bore a force beyond the limit.
At this moment, Alpha's leg bones were all broken, and his internal organs were severely injured, but he held on and did not fall down. After being lifted onto the warhorse by the monkey, Alpha finally could not bear it anymore and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Before he fell into a coma, Alpha said his last words to the monkey. "Protect everyone and go to Titanium City." In his coma, Alpha still clenched his fists. He was Alpha, and he couldn't fall down.
Alpha didn't know how he got back to the Titanium Mine City, and when he woke up again, it was a week later.
Alpha only remembered that he had a very long dream. In the dream, he was still that small clerk, earning a living wage and struggling every day to survive.
Suddenly one day, Alpha came to a world of magic and fighting, and Alpha gained extraordinary abilities. In this world, although dangerous and life-threatening, Alpha has his own abilities, his own woman, and lives a fulfilling life...
Alpha couldn't tell reality from illusion. Everything was too real and too dreamy. Alpha vaguely remembered someone calling him. When he opened his eyes, he saw those familiar faces...
"Lord Alpha, you finally woke up. We were scared to death." Alpha opened his eyes and saw familiar faces, including Rowling, Lilia, Phyllis, Lim, Monkey, Darwin and so on.
Alpha looked around the unfamiliar environment, still wondering whether this was reality or an illusion. The people in front of him looked very familiar, but why couldn't he remember their names?
"Let me take a look." Athena squinted her eyes and opened the Eye of God to observe Alpha's situation. But Athena could not see anything, because the Alpha in front of her was pure and without any distractions. In this state, Athena could not detect the fluctuations of Alpha's thoughts.
"Athena, why am I here?" Alpha looked at Athena's firm breasts and really wanted to fall to the ground immediately.
"Asshole, you just woke up and you're thinking about these messed up things." Suddenly Athena felt Alpha's evil thoughts and wanted to slap him.
"What's wrong with me? Why are you all here?" Alpha regained consciousness, but his body was still a little stiff, otherwise Athena would not have been able to escape from Alpha's clutches.
"Lord Alpha, you have been in a coma for a week. It was Sister Athena who treated you every day that brought you back to life. Do you know that we were almost scared to death by you?" Phyllis' eyes were red and tearful, and she was obviously very worried about Alpha's health.
"Well, have Balor's reinforcements arrived?" Alpha regained his composure. A week had been wasted, and he had to act quickly.
"They have arrived. There are currently 1,500 of them. I have hidden them, and the subsequent reinforcements are arriving one after another." Rowling explained.
"At the same time, there are more spies around us. Two groups of people have come from Balor City to redeem those nobles. Should we delay a little longer?" Rowling was a little worried about Alpha's safety.
"No need, everything goes according to the original plan. Rowling, you lead them to move out slowly, let the cavalry outside into the city, and start exchanging hostages." Alpha dismissed everyone and only left Rowling, Makina and Phyllis. Of course, Darwin and Athena sat aside and Alpha couldn't drive them away.
"Remember, after you go out, no matter what happens, don't panic. Don't care about our lives. Your mission is to detect the enemy's traces. No matter how clear the location of the enemy's mine is, everything will be in vain if you can't find the enemy's location." Alpha only learned from Tanster's news that the mining area of Alison and the Orff family was in the west, and he knew nothing about the rest of the situation.
"I will slowly send a false signal to the enemy, making them feel that they have a chance to capture the Titanium Mine City and gradually increase their forces. Before the enemy sends out a thousand troops, you must remain hidden and not be detected by the enemy. When the enemy's strength reaches 1,500, you can try to surround and attack the reinforcements, sneak attack the enemy's reinforcements, or occupy the enemy's mine. In the process, try to avoid a head-on confrontation with the enemy, and win with wisdom." Alpha sent almost all the old soldiers to the front line, and Rowling and Makina divided their troops into two groups, coordinating operations to jointly raid the enemy's lair.
"Remember, our target this time is two mining areas, or at most three. Don't be greedy." Alpha reminded everyone again. According to Alpha's plan, two mining areas are enough, and three is not a big deal. If there are more, it will cause the troops to be dispersed and they may not be able to defend any of them.
"Do you know what the biggest difficulty of this operation is?" Alpha asked worriedly.
"Lord Alpha, of course you have to hide yourself and find your target." Rowling was worried, but she also thought deeply about the mission.
"It's supplies. The mountains are covered with snow and there are basically no supplies around. The biggest problem you face is supplies." Makina was worried. The two had different ideas. Luo Lin wanted to track down the enemy, while Makina hoped to preserve his manpower.
"Yeah, that's right, it's a supply issue." Alpha shared the same view as the others.
"We can launch a surprise attack on the enemy's food supplies." Rowling thought supply would not be a big problem.
"No, you can't attack the enemy's supply routes before they send in their second reinforcements. We have to attract more enemies here. If we make it difficult for the enemy in the early stages, I'm afraid they won't dare to attack at all and won't be able to send troops over. By then, you won't be able to take advantage of your military strength and all your plans will be in vain." Alpha wanted to attract most of the enemies.
"We can stockpile food and supplies in advance and keep them in some secret place." Rowling spoke again.
“Okay, all of this needs to be done in secret. There are definitely enemy spies in the city, so get these things done as soon as possible.
Here, I remind you again. In the case of heavy snow blocking the mountains, your supply lines are affected, and the enemy may also take this opportunity to attack you. Therefore, your plan is crucial, and you need to ensure that every detail is properly handled to ensure victory.
First, you need to find a suitable location to store food and grass, which requires careful consideration, as there may be enemy spies in the city. You can use spies and intelligence personnel to find a suitable location and encrypt communications to ensure that the message is not intercepted by the enemy.
At the same time, we must ensure the safe transportation of food and fodder to avoid enemy attacks.
Secondly, before the enemy's second reinforcement, do not attack the enemy's supply line to avoid disturbing the enemy. You can use false information and traps to attract the enemy's attention; ambushes and obstacles are also good choices to delay the enemy's offensive. In this process, you still need to continuously strengthen your own security precautions to avoid unnecessary losses.
Finally, we must pay close attention to the enemy's movements and adjust and improve our tactical plans at any time. If the enemy detects our intentions, they may take measures to sabotage our actions. To this end, we must be vigilant, be prepared, and respond to emergencies at any time.
In summary, the plan needs to be carefully deployed and all factors must be weighed comprehensively to ensure the success of the action. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will surely defeat the enemy and win a complete victory. "Alpha yawned, obviously a little sleepy.
"Then we will begin preparations immediately, sir."
"Report! Lord Alpha, something terrible has happened. A force of about a thousand men has appeared in the south of our army and is approaching."
Thanks to the manufacturing data provided by Alpha, Titanium City finally developed a telescope. Although the technology content is not high, it has given the reconnaissance team a boost. Although it is still impossible to have one for each person, it is no problem to equip each group with one.
"Continue to monitor the enemy's movements, and at the same time send a message to Rowling and Makina, ordering them to prepare to meet the enemy immediately." This is a good opportunity, and this action can be used to conceal the evacuation of Rowling and Makina's troops.
"Lord Alpha, leave this operation to us! We promise to defeat the enemy completely." Rowling looked at Alpha's body, her worry evident in her words.
"Our opponent this time might be the Menis Iron Mine bandit gang in the south, and their target is the Titanium Mine City. You have to defeat them, but you don't have to kill them all. Just let them escape, so that it will be easier for us to find their lair." Alpha had already made up his mind, and the Menis Iron Mine was an area that he was determined to obtain.
Of course, he wanted much more than just an iron mine. He also needed the entire southwestern grassland to remain peaceful so that he could open up the trade routes between Houston, Balor and Fatalia and prepare for future missions in Fatalia.
"Lord Alpha, do you need us to arrange personnel to track him?" Rowling asked again.
"No need. Your target is the enemy in the west. Ignore the other directions." Alpha is well aware of the principle of biting off more than he can chew, and will not disperse his forces any further, as that would only result in more harm than good.
"Your mission is to conquer the western grasslands. The rest of the stationing issues will be left to the cavalry that arrives later."
