Wu Yan's face looked terrible. The well-shaped scars on his face were horrifying. The other members did not dare to approach him.
Out of the three thousand card artisans, the casualties had reached seven hundred!
The casualty rate was as high as a quarter, which was enough to prove how terrifying the team in front was.
And what annoyed him the most was that damned slow-acting poison!
He had no idea when he started to be poisoned in the army.
The medical card artisans who followed the team were also helpless against this chronic poison. They estimated that it would take about twenty days!
As long as they could survive these twenty days, not only would the perception of these poisoned card artisans not be damaged, but it would also increase.
Damn, twenty days!
Every time he thought of this number, Wu Yan could not help but feel his heart palpitate.
Twenty days was enough for many things to happen!
To make matters worse, due to the hasty departure, they did not bring enough medicine. When the medical team leader came to report to him, he wanted to crush the head of the logistics department!
Shi Fengfei, Wang Yong and Qi Li walked towards Wu Yan together.
"Head!"
"Boss!"
Wang Yong and Qi Li looked at Wu Yan worriedly. His face was really terrible.
Shi Fengfei sat down. Her beautiful face could not hide the fatigue.
Her dark blue smoky eyes had lost their luster. She was in low spirits and said in a sad voice, "The seventh team leader died."
Wu Yan's hands stopped moving and his face turned pale.
This was their third captain-level card artisan who died in battle. The seventh team leader had a perceptual strength of level seven. He could be considered a good fighter no matter where he was.
"He was hit in the left chest by the energy shuttle," Qi Li added briefly.
Everyone was silent.
The energy shuttle of the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team left a deep impression on them.
This kind of energy shuttle did not look much different from ordinary energy shuttles. However, it was extremely fast and had a terrifying penetrating power.
Ordinary energy shields were as fragile as paper in front of them.
Shi Fengfei bit her lips and said, "We have underestimated them."
This sentence expressed the greatest feeling in the hearts of these people.
Before this, they had always thought that this was an easy chase, like a cat chasing a mouse.
The escape of the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team only made them waste more time.
In the hearts of every card artisan of the Blood Hammer Division, they were initially relaxed.
Such a little-known card artisan team actually mobilized the dignified Blood Hammer Unit. Wasn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?
What a waste!
But no one could have imagined that it would be such a little-known card artisan firm that would make them suffer so much.
The opponent's endless means, flexible tactics, and powerful attacks were definitely something that only a first-rate card artisan team could possess!
"Their card artisans are very accurate, very accurate!"
Shi Fengfei emphasized with a serious expression, "Their shooting frequency is very high, and the environment seems to have little effect on them.
Now I really believe that they have a large number of sniper card artisans! "
Shi Fengfei was the most powerful long-range card artisan in the Blood Hammer Unit. This was the first time she gave such a high evaluation!
No one raised any objections. For the past few days, they had deeply felt how accurate their adversary's card artisans' shooting was.
Even for them, when they heard the low whistling sound that was different from ordinary energy shuttles, they would still be alarmed.
"Well, their cooperation is very tacit, the firepower configuration is very reasonable, the battle is orderly, and the retreat is also very orderly."
The wrinkles on Wang Yong's face squeezed into a pile, and he muttered, "I feel that it is a bit like the style of the military."
"The military?" As soon as Wang Yong said this, the others were all shocked.
They recalled the battle of the past few days, and their faces became more solemn.
"Now that Old Wang mentioned it, I think it is a bit like it."
Shi Fengfei was the first to agree, "Even their retreat was so orderly. It is hard for me to think of such an elite force other than the military."
What she said was reasonable. To judge the tactical discipline of a troop, one must look at its retreat.
"And their cards!"
The arrogance on Qi Li's face could no longer be seen. He held his chin and agreed, "Didn't you notice a very strange thing?
Their card artisan corpses never have any apparatus!
After so many days, we have not even seized a single card from them.
I couldn't figure it out before, but now that Old Wang said it, I really think it is possible!
If not for the military, why would they care about their cards?
They must be trying to hide their identity! "
The cards used by the military card artisans were all standard cards, which were different from ordinary card artisans.
"It is possible." Wang Yong muttered, "But we still need to prove that they are not from the military.
Their cards are so powerful, it is normal that they don't want to fall into our hands. "
"But what if they are from the military?" Shi Fengfei voiced out everyone's concern.
Everyone fell into silence again.
If the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team really belonged to the military, then they would be in big trouble.
Why would the military want to hide their identity?
Of course, it was worth thinking about.
But no matter what the reason was, it was not something that the Scarlet Card Artisan Team could afford to offend.
"It is too late to think about this now." Wu Yan said coldly, "We have already caused trouble, what's the use of thinking about this?
Hmph, even if they are from the military, we have to kill them this time!
Only by killing them will we have a chance to live! "
Their expressions changed drastically, and they secretly pondered over their leader's words. After a while, they finally understood!
That's right!
Only by winning could they live!
"Their overall strength is very strong, and their commander is very powerful. We are no match for him!" Wu Yan said without hesitation, "Such a commander is the strongest one I have ever seen.
I didn't expect such a powerful person to be hidden in this small card artisan team!
But … "
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
"Their overall strength is very strong, and their card artisan tactics are impeccable. But there is a loophole!" Wu Yan's stone-like face was expressionless, and he said word by word, "They don't have any experts!"
Qi Li's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes!
I have been puzzled for a long time, and I haven't met a decent opponent these days!
So they don't have any experts! "
Wang Yong and Shi Fengfei were also excited.
Shi Fengfei's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said calmly, "That's right, if they have experts, they only need to send them to entangle us for a while, and our casualties will increase by 50%!
Their casualties will also be much smaller.
But they still haven't sent any experts, it must be because they have too few experts! "
"This is our only chance!" Wu Yan said coldly, the scar on his face unmoving.
"What are our casualties?" Bogner snatched the tea in front of Xi Ping and took a hard gulp.
"77 dead, 206 wounded." Jiang Liang stood straight facing Bogner as he reported the casualty figures with precision.
"Mmmm, better than I thought." Bogner nodded, and his gaze turned to Sue Lochiro.
That team hadn't experienced a tough battle, and their jungle survival experience was pitifully small. That casualty figure was already far better than he had expected.
Sue Lochiro understood and reported, "We've brought plenty of medicine.
Of the 206 people, 140 will be able to recover within a week. The remaining 64 will need a longer time. "
"Good."
The haze between Bogner's brows had dissipated quite a bit. "This time, it's all thanks to Miss Sue Lochiro. If it weren't for you, our casualty figures would absolutely have increased by more than 50%."
Bogner's praise made Sue Lochiro blush a little, and the others looked at her with admiration.
Sue Lochiro's contributions weren't only displayed in the medical field; her role in the battle was also quite remarkable, especially the slow-acting poison she had concocted.
Long before they had set out, Bogner had asked Sue Lochiro to make a kind of large-scale slow-acting poison. Although she hadn't been very willing, she had still taken out the finished product.
Not long after entering the jungle, Bogner had quietly sprinkled the slow-acting poison into the underbrush he had passed.
In the jungle, the smells were very complicated, and the smell of the slow-acting poison was similar to the sweet scent of some kind of flower, which was hard to detect.
After the poison was inhaled into the body, it would take more than three days for obvious symptoms to appear.
Its only function was to temporarily erode perception. If the right medicine wasn't taken, its effect would last for 20 days.
If the poisoned card artisan's perception survived those 20 days, there would be a noticeable increase.
That kind of poison was a product Sue Lochiro had accidentally obtained. Her original intention had been to research a kind of medicine that could speed up the enhancement of card artisans' perception.
Because Bogner was pressing her so urgently, she had thought of the semi-finished product she hadn't yet succeeded with.
After telling Bogner in detail about its effects and uses, Bogner immediately decided that it was the one!
As it turned out, Bogner's vision was always very sharp.
That kind of poison played a decisive role. The strength of the poisoned card artisan's perception could only reach two-thirds of its usual level.
The only pity was that it had no effect on card artisans whose perception was too strong.
Those aces of the Blood Hammer Troop whose perception had reached level seven were not affected at all. Among the 283 casualties, nearly 50 percent were caused by these aces.
That was also the problem that Bogner had the most headaches about.
Their side was far inferior to them in terms of experts.
Especially in such a complicated environment as the jungle, the mobility and lethality of high-level card artisans were extremely terrifying.
However, what made everyone feel a little more at ease was that the opponent's casualties were obviously much higher than theirs.
Although the Blood Hammer Troop also had jungle experts, it was obvious that Bogner seemed to be more experienced.
Moreover, Bogner was especially good at using the geographical environment to kill and injure the enemy. A swamp, a bunch of blood-sucking vines, and even all kinds of beasts in the jungle had become his sharpest weapons.
With perception reduced by a third, the danger of the jungle had greatly increased for these card artisans.
Non-combat attrition was one of the biggest headaches for any commander.
As for the card artisans under Bogner, after this period of training, their cooperation had become more and more tacit.
Bogner put down the teacup in his hand and laughed unscrupulously, "After such a long time, they should be aware of it by now.
Little Ginger, start preparing plan number two. "
Little Ginger …
The veins on Jiang Liang's forehead were throbbing.
