The Dean Has Arrived

"Xi Wei, look at that Naga Siren over the city wall!"

Because of the headwind, Xi Wei almost didn't hear Nuo'er's words behind him.

Looking in the direction the other party said, one can vaguely see a naga sea monster jumping and roaring.

If you look closely, you can see that the other party is holding a strange lump that looks like a compressed biscuit.

"That's... sea monster bait?" Xi Wei muttered uncertainly.

Sea monster bait is specially imitated by human beings after studying the feed used by Naga sea monsters to feed those sea monsters. It is used to cause sea monsters to chaos in wars. In addition, it can also be used to lure and kill some lonely sea monsters. .

It's just that this kind of thing needs a lot of materials in the deep sea, and for the current human beings, the deep sea is undoubtedly a restricted area, so the amount is very rare.

Just didn't expect to see it here.

"Why is there a sea monster bait here?" The girl's shout was thrown far behind the green dragon the moment she uttered it, but the question she asked was also Xi Wei's question.

Why does the Naga Siren have Kraken bait? As deep sea dwellers, they didn't have the craft of pressing bait, and the feed they fed to sea monsters was piles of wet and sticky stuff.

Especially after launching an attack on land, they will not feed the sea monsters, in order to maintain the morale of the sea monsters, and at the same time let hunger drive the sea monsters to prey on humans...

If it weren't for the fact that the army holding this bait was defeated, then the reason why the Naga Siren had bait would be worth pondering for Xi Wei.

"Xi Wei, a sea monster with a spout has appeared!"

At this time, the girl's exclamation brought him back to his senses, and he quickly re-stringed the crossbow, and then filled the arrows.

"The Dragon Striking Crossbow has been destroyed, we have nothing to do with those big guys now," Xi Wei said in a deep voice. The howling wind would bring his voice to the ears of the girl behind him, so there was no need to shout as loudly as the girl.

The Dragon Striking Crossbow is a large crossbow bolt that will be distributed and installed in most of the human settlements. It is extremely powerful, let alone ordinary sea monsters. Even Hai Long can shoot and kill.

It's just that the enemy appeared too suddenly this time, causing the Dragon Striking Crossbow to be completely destroyed before it even had time to reload.

But that's good too, because 'destroy the Dragon Striking Crossbow and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Naga Siren' is also one of the principles that every dragoon must abide by. If one's own side is retreating steadily, the person in charge of archery will not be allowed to retreat without destroying the Dragon Striking Crossbow. When the shooter is killed, other soldiers also have this responsibility, if they don't want to be court-martialed and hurt their families. You can only risk your life to do this.

Just as the two of them were chatting loudly, a laser-like water arrow burst out from below, and before they could see that it was the sea monster that sprayed it out, some dragoons were shot down, howling Falling down, the two knights naturally fell to pieces. And the dying flying dragon was dismantled into parts by several sea monsters in the blink of an eye, and swallowed into its stomach...

After ordering Fireball to ignite the pile of firewood hidden outside the city, and avoiding a few water arrows, Xi Wei and Nuoer called Fireball to retreat.

In addition to him, several flying dragons whose stomachs hadn't run out of fuel also lit the pile of firewood. Soon the fire grew stronger under the influence of the monsoon, turning into a wall of fire, preventing the Naga Sirens from advancing.

Humanity's next line of defense. It's a seaside town.

After sending the flying dragon into the dragon shed and asking Nuoer to comfort the fireball, Xi Wei talked to the other survivors, and after confirming that they also saw that some Naga sea monsters had sea monster bait in their hands, they immediately set off to chase away the fireball. Went to his chief.

"Sir Segal."

Xi Wei walked into the room after respectfully saluting the officer who was processing documents on the desk.

"It's Corporal Xi Wei. I remember you were stationed at Vettel's defense line. Is there anything you want to come here?"

All dragoons come out of the military training camp and can obtain the rank of air force corporal as soon as they join the army. This can be regarded as special care for them. It's a pity that this military rank has no practical significance other than the name, and even the military salary is not much higher than that of the first-class soldier in the army...

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xi Wei always felt that Segel didn't dare to look at him.

So he simply didn't pay attention to the fall of the defense line - anyway, the other party will receive a report soon - but asked the one thing he was most concerned about.

"Has any tutelary mansion fallen?" Only the tutelary mansion had the sea monster bait, and even if he wanted to use the line of defense he had defended before, he had to allocate it from the tutelary mansion first.

"No, there is no such thing." Segel shook his head and denied.

"Then may I ask. Why did I see that there was a sea monster bait in Naga Siren's hands?" Knowing the information he wanted to know, Xi Wei naturally refused to meet him: "Can you tell me, the high command What did you do?"

Segal finally stopped the quill in his hand.

He knew very well, since Xi Wei would ask that. There must have been some vague conjectures. Instead of letting him spread strange conjectures among the dragoons, it is better to issue a ban order after satisfying his curiosity.

"Please take the next words as my own words."

"The next official will take orders." Xi Wei nodded. Since the other party has said that, it means that this matter should not have been known to him as a corporal, but if the officer wants to tell him, he will definitely not be unreasonable.

"Some time ago, after paying the price of almost annihilation of the whole army, an investigation team discovered a small island about 300 miles away from the coastline. According to the survivors, the Naga Siren was on that island A complete camp like a city has been built. Almost all land attacks are launched from that camp as a transit point... If there is no such camp, the opponent will have fewer resting places, and their strength will definitely be greatly reduced."

Segel clasped his hands, put them on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "So the command department ordered a death squad to attack there... But there must be a strong defense there. In order to weaken the opponent's defense, it is natural to need a strong A hefty amount of bait to turn away their troops."

"...So, did Vettel's line of defense become that bait?" Xi Wei took a deep breath and managed to stabilize his emotions.

"It's hard to know about the choice of bait at my level." Segel sighed, with an apologetic expression on his face: "Plus, this information cannot be disclosed before the operation is carried out, so I can't let it go." You guys get ready, I'm so sorry."

"But if we had been notified in advance, we wouldn't have lost as much as we do now!" Xi Wei finally couldn't help but shouted: "Nearly 70% of Paoze are dead! Because the enemy came too suddenly, it's completely I can’t react! If you have been notified, we can at least reduce casualties by 30%! Not only that, but also give those guys a hard lesson!”

"But in this way, there is no guarantee that the Naga Siren will stay on the bait side... Maybe the other party will find out that you did not have the proper chaos after contact and retreat directly. In this way, the most important sneak attack will be will fail."

Segel looked at the excited Xi Wei, and said calmly, "At least that's what the command said."

"Damn! Then let those bastards make their own bait! The human command, ha, isn't it the best bait!"

Xi Wei spread his hands and said with a sarcasm on his face.

At this time, a messenger came in from the door, bowed to Sergeyer in respect, put the report in his hand on the table, looked like Xi Wei with a strange expression, and then left the room quickly.

Segel checked the envelope of the report, and after confirming that it was intact, he opened the wax seal, took out the main body from inside, flipped through it a few times, and his expression became even worse.

"What's the bad news again, sir?" When the other party was flipping through the report, Xi Wei also calmed down a little: "The news of the fall of Vettel's defense line?"

"A hundred times worse than that."

Segel threw the report in his hand aside, with a miserable expression: "The sneak attack failed. All the masters selected by the high command died there, and only one of them released a messenger gull before he died."

"..."

Xi Wei remained silent. My own side was used as a bait, and there were countless casualties, but in the end it still fell short... This gives people a sense of sadness that all comrades in arms died in vain.

"But that's not the point..." However, as if feeling that the intelligence wasn't bad enough, Segel's face was ashen, and he looked like a dead man: "The worst thing is that all the dragons who escaped from death in Vetter's line of defense The cavalry must participate in the next sneak attack."

"Are you kidding me!" Xi Wei was so surprised that he forgot to get angry: "How dare those bastards in the command department give such an order!"

"Cough, please show some respect to the highest leadership of human beings in front of the commander." Segel reminded with a dry cough: "'Because I just solved a wave of sneak attacks, when I am full of ambition, it must be the time when the defense is the most lax. , At this time, the sneak attack must be able to make merit,' it seems that the people in the high command think so."

"This is to send us to die..." Xi Wei said angrily just now, and then realized the reason why the command department did that.

No one likes a person who is being calculated to death by himself is still alive in this world. This made them worry about their own safety, but at the same time, they were also afraid that the fact that they used their compatriots as bait would be leaked. In this way, the morale of the army would be unstable, and even a mutiny would not be out of the question.

According to the calculations of the group of people in the high command, all of Vettel's garrisons should have died there. Only the dead are the safest and most reliable.

Since you didn't plan to die once, you might as well plan again.

It is probably for this reason that those who escaped from death will be sent to a desperate situation for the second time.
