Chapter 16 The Crisis of the Rock Legion
"What's the matter? Tell me slowly! Why do you think of this sir?" Diaz felt so nervous when he saw the messenger's panic.
"Mr. Adams just sent someone to inform that several members of the direct guard were arrested by the enemy when intercepting the enemy's scout. He was worried that under the severe torture of the enemy, these people would be tortured and exposed our secrets to the enemy!" The messenger said gasping.
"Damn! The people directly under the guards are all masters above level 5! At most, the enemy's scouts are at level 4, so why can't they beat them? Even if there are too many enemies, they should be able to escape!" Diaz was a little angry. At this critical moment, this incident happened.
"Mr. Adams said that the enemy also sent their direct guards, and they were in groups of forty or fifty people, but only two or three people were sent in front, and the people behind them followed secretly, and immediately rushed forward once they were attacked. So the people who went to intercept them were trapped... He has now personally led the guards to chase them..." The messenger reported.
"Forget it, you should inform Captain Adams quickly and ask him to come back! This place is very close to the enemy, and the enemy army may be dispatched at any time. It is too dangerous for him to bring a dozen people up." Roger thought for a while, and immediately said.
"Okay! I'll inform Captain Adams immediately!" The messenger responded quickly and went down.
"Brother Roger! What should we do now?" After hearing that someone was arrested and the situation in his own troops might be leaked, Annie was also a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid! I'll hold you back when the sky falls!" Roger said proudly. Although the information leak just now made him very angry, fortunately, the combat plan has not been officially issued. Even if the enemy learned that the left and right armies have been wiped out, his original plan to attack the middle armies will not be invalidated. However, in this way, some changes to the original plan must be made.

It was already late at night and it was still raining outside. Winter was anxiously woken up by his adjutant in his sleep.
"What! You said the Lightning Army has arrived near us, and it is very likely that it will attack soon?" Winter said in shock.
"Yes! Captain of the Guard Croze led his direct guard to investigate, and he met the killer sent by the enemy to intercept. He took action himself and killed three people who attacked the other party and seriously injured two people. These killers are very powerful, all above level five. If they hadn't attacked the guard captain's team, they might have been escaped." The adjutant reported.
"The enemy scout who caught admitted that the Lightning Army was near us?" Winter asked hurriedly.
"Yes, when Captain Croze and his team were about to return to the town, the enemy sent more than a dozen masters to rob the people. But seeing that Captain Croze and his group had reached the range of the archers in the town, they did not dare to catch up. They had to leave in disappointment. After Croze and the commander of the Magic Corps, Makzar, attacked overnight and used some medicines, the two captured enemy killers finally revealed the real situation. The enemy had defeated the right and left armies a few days ago, and now they have advanced to our army. It is estimated that the attack will be launched tomorrow." The adjutant said solemnly.
"What?! The enemy defeated the right and left armies in succession? It's only been a few days!" Winter couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Hurry! Help me wake up all the officers above the division commander, as well as the hawk trainer and staff. Convene an emergency meeting immediately!" Winter shouted while putting on his clothes.
Soon, the senior officers of the Central Army who were still sleeping soundly on the bed were all called out from the bed by Winter's adjutant. They rubbed their eyes and yawned. With the help of the orderly soldiers, they put on their clothes and arrived at the conference room.
"It's a forced urge to wake everyone up so late." Winter yawned himself and said to the adjutant: "You can introduce the situation!"
"Okay!" the adjutant responded, then caught two killers by Croze, and interrogated the current situation facing the Central Army and said it.
"What? Both the left and right sides have been defeated?"
"The news will not be fake, right? Could it be that the two prisoners were talking nonsense?"
"The forces of the left and right sides are 55,000. Even if the enemy can defeat them, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. How could there be nearly 40,000 people? Could it be that they only died a few thousand?"
Except for Jack, the officers present spoke out and expressed their disbelief.
"This news is very accurate. Commander Makzar also used his carefully configured insinuating agent, so don't doubt the authenticity of this information. Now let's discuss how we should deal with this unfavorable situation!" Seeing this, Winter had to loudly stop the officers' doubts.
As soon as Winter said this, the officers were silent. The commander of the corps said this, indicating that the news was true, and the combat effectiveness of the Lightning Army was too amazing. He fought two consecutive battles within six days and wiped out the left and right armies, but he was very injured. Now he has moved to the vicinity of the middle armies. If the attack is launched again, it is still a big question whether the 30,000 people of the middle armies can withstand it.
Jack couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had already suggested at the evening meeting that the left and right sides might have been defeated, but no one believed it. Now when the news really came, these people were helpless.
"Captain Jack Division, do you have any opinions on the current situation?" Winter looked around and saw that his subordinates were all silent with their heads down. Jack was the only one with his head raised and his chest raised. He also recalled that Jack had raised his head and the right army might be defeated, and asked quickly.
