Black Fog in the Jungle (2)
The Black Fog Force was founded by Lucas 'father, Gomez, 30 years ago. Lucas was only a teenager at that time. Gomez found a strange grass in the forest northwest of Nottingham by chance. It was about half a meter tall and had a straight stem. There were only four leaves at the top. It was square in shape and had a faint fragrance. It was late autumn, and the grass was withering. Gamus was very interested in this grass, so he picked some and brought them home to study what this grass was. Gamus had a hobby, which was to like exotic flowers and plants. He had a soft spot for flowers and trees, and every time he encountered something new, he would always study it. Gamus had never seen this grass before. He was about to study it carefully when he had something to do in the army and left in a hurry. Gamus 'wife had always disliked the fact that Gamus was obsessed with flowers and plants every day. He always liked to nag. When she saw Gamus bring back some withered grass today, she was already furious. It was fine if he was busy with some flowers and plants, but he still brought the withered grass back home. In a fit of anger, she took the withered grass to the kitchen and used it as a fire. When Gamus returned from his work, he found that the house was filled with black fog. He could only hear his wife's cries and the Lucas brothers 'cries, but he couldn't see anyone. Gamus panicked and rushed into the black fog to search. He couldn't see his fingers and couldn't see anything. He found his wife and two sons and finally escaped. After about a meal, the black fog gradually dissipated, and the house returned to normal. After asking, his wife told him that she had burned the dried grass that Gamus had brought back. Gamus was a little suspicious and scolded his wife, saying that his wife had done something wrong and blamed him. He did not believe his wife's words at all. He said that his wife had forgotten to watch the fire when she was cooking and almost caused a disaster. Gamus 'wife refused to admit it. Gamus was starting to suspect something. The next day, Gamus picked a few more stalks of the same grass. He didn't dare to bring them home, so he lit them up next to the forest. Something strange happened. The black fog was everywhere, and he couldn't see anything. The black fog didn't smell at all. After about two hours, it gradually dissipated. Gamus exclaimed in surprise. After studying flowers and plants for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a magical thing. He didn't make a fuss and brought some back. This time, Gamus 'wife knew that she had gotten into trouble last time, so she didn't dare to touch Gamus' things anymore.
Gamus had searched through all the books on flowers and plants, but he couldn't find any similar records. He felt that this grass was even more mysterious. At that time, the Great Ape King had ordered every place to have their own trump card troops. Gamus was still struggling to find a way. The discovery of this grass made his eyes light up. He did not know what the name of this grass was, so Gamus gave it a suitable name-Black Fog Grass. Although the Black Fog Grass could produce black fog, it could not last long and could not be controlled flexibly. How could he unleash the greatest potential of the Black Fog Grass? Gamus spent almost twenty years researching it and finally found it. Peckdeer grass and algae from the Narse River were added to the Black Fog Grass. These two things could prolong the time of the black fog. After the Black Fog Grass was burned through magic, the black fog would be collected and stored in a special box. When using it, the black fog would be released by reciting an incantation. When not in use, the black fog would be recalled by reciting an incantation. After the research was successful, Gamus selected a group of strong apes and formed a secret force called the Black Fog Force. However, there was still a problem. When the black fog was released, the enemy could not see anything. Even his own soldiers could not see anything. What should he do? After repeated research, Gomez developed a contact lens that could see through the black fog. After wearing it, entering the black fog would be as bright as day, and it could be used freely. From then on, the Black Fog Unit was born. It was a top secret, and no one knew about it. The Black Fog Unit became Gamus 'trump card unit. It was personally commanded by Gamus, and even the most trusted apes around him did not know about the existence of the Black Fog Unit. At that time, the king listened to Gamus 'secret report and was very appreciative. Military secrets could not be casually leaked. The king knew the rules here and had always kept his mouth shut. After Gamus died, the Black Fog unit was handed over to Lucas.
Lucas followed his father's strict orders and never revealed a word. The Black Fog Unit had always been a mystery. Even Ruyes did not know. After Lucas's management, the combat strength of the Black Fog troops had increased even more than before. Lucas treated the Black Fog troops as his last trump card and would never use them unless it was absolutely necessary. The consecutive victories of the American army left Lucas at his wit's end. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, he had no choice but to use the Black Fog troops. They won the first battle and eliminated the Battle Wolves, allowing Lucas to truly witness the power of the Black Fog troops.
After eliminating the war wolves, Lucas was certain that the American troops would attack recklessly. The Black Fog troops could unleash their power and wipe out the American troops. He did not expect that the American army would not do anything and would not proceed according to his plan. After waiting for more than ten days, Lucas finally could not wait any longer. He sent a small group of troops to harass the American army in an attempt to lure them into the jungle so that they could be annihilated in one fell swoop. However, this scene was a mess. Arias did not fall for it at all. There was no other way. Lucas did not dare to easily transfer the Black Fog troops out of the jungle. He could only gather troops from all over Western Europe to prepare to attack Nottingham and force the American troops out of the city to fight. Then, the Black Fog troops would have a place to use. Why didn't Lucas mobilize the Black Fog troops to attack Nottingham? Wouldn't that be twice the result with half the effort? It turned out that the black fog troops were not without flaws. Although the black fog was strong, there was a limit to its height. It could not exceed five meters. If it exceeded this height, the black fog would lose its effectiveness and the troops would be completely exposed. Therefore, Lucas had no choice but to transfer the US military out.
Lucas mobilized eight million troops from Western Europe and attacked Nottingham no less than a few hundred times in a month. The American troops did not leave the city, and the casualties were very high. They had no choice but to postpone the attack and rest on the spot.
Both sides entered a stalemate. Arias felt that being passive in defense was not a long-term solution. After discussing with a few veterans, they decided to carry out an appropriate counter-charge to combat the arrogance of the apes.
One night, Berminghan led his troops out of the city under the cover of the night. They quietly sneaked outside the ape camp and suddenly launched an attack. The battle cries shook the sky. Birminghan ordered his troops to attack fiercely. The apes were caught off guard and fought in panic. They were the opponents of the American army and were killed in a panic. Lucas thought that the opportunity had come and ordered the troops to retreat. After chasing for a while, Birmingham withdrew his troops and returned to the city.
Seeing that his wishful thinking had failed again and that he had suffered heavy losses, Lucas was furious. He vented all his anger on his subordinates and cursed the generals for being incompetent. His subordinates dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up. No one dared to speak up. In his anger, Lucas ordered his troops to surround Nottingham again. He did not believe that the US troops could hold on for long.
Lucas had miscalculated this time. Nottingham had sufficient military supplies, so it was fine to fight for half a year or a year. This was all thanks to Lucas. Nottingham was Lucas 'old nest that he had run for many years and had prepared sufficient supplies. This also gave Arias enough time to think about how to break through the black fog troops of the apes.
After a few days and nights of fighting, Arias and Selby finally made some progress. He discovered that the black fog was a type of miasma, an extension of the highest realm of magic, and not invulnerable. Judging from the fact that the apes did not dare to attack the city with the Black Fog troops, the Black Fog had its limitations. As long as an effective plan was found, it would not be difficult to crack the Black Fog.
Arias thought of the Sword of God. The Sword of God that Rikeqi had, Wood, was the best weapon to crack the miasma. There might be unexpected gains from this aspect. Arias immediately called Zigqi over and told him his thoughts. Riko had wanted to avenge Wagner for a long time, so he agreed with Arias 'suggestion and was willing to give it a try. Arias wanted Riko to practice the Sword of God repeatedly, preparing to take down the enemy in one blow at the right time.
Lucas was helpless against the American troops. He couldn't attack, and he couldn't make the American troops come out if he retreated. He was caught in a dilemma. His younger brother, Ruyes, and his son, Camposa, were both in the hands of the American troops. Lucas was afraid to act rashly and didn't dare to make a big move. This was Lucas 'weakness. Ruyes was his only younger brother, let alone Camposa. Ruyes had no children, and Camposa was the only descendant of the family. If anything happened to him, he would really die.
Pasque and Wu Mingfei were two guys who couldn't stay idle. They sneaked out of the city when Milan wasn't paying attention. They wanted to give the apes a surprise attack, kill Lucas, and make a great contribution so that their sister could make a name for herself in the army. The two little fellows did not care about the black fog at all. They did not know how powerful it was. The apes had suffered a great loss last time, and this time, they had strengthened their defenses. Pasque and Wu Mingfei had just entered the enemy camp when they were surrounded by the apes. The team they brought was completely annihilated, and the two of them were captured by the apes because they were outnumbered.
Milan knew that something was wrong when her brother disappeared, so she quickly reported it to Arias.
At this moment, a battle was called out outside Lucas City. Arias personally went to the city wall and saw Pasque and Wu Mingfei tied up.
"Your Excellency must be Arias! I am Lucas! Last night, two of your subordinates ambushed my camp and were captured. I don't think you want these two people to be beheaded, right?”Lucas said confidently.
Arias more or less understood what Lucas meant. "If you have any requests, just say it! There was no need to beat around the bush anymore. It was a waste of time!”
"Haha! As expected of the president! He was straightforward and bold! I won't keep you in suspense. I want to use your two generals to exchange for my brother and son. What do you think?”
"You really know how to do business! Wouldn't you have made a huge profit this way? I won't do a losing business!" Arias knew that Lucas would not dare to act rashly in exchange for his brother and son, so he provoked him with words.
Lucas quickly surrendered. "Mr. President! We're fighting for real. It's not a glorious thing to take hostages. I hope Mr. President can be magnanimous and let them go. We'll see each other on the battlefield!”
"Aren't you going to detain our people?" Arias smiled. Likewise! However, I'm very interested in your proposal. However, there must be a condition for the exchange.”
Lucas saw Arias spit and quickly said,"No problem!"
