Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2186 - 673: Two Against One [Final - of the Lower Part]
If there hadn’t been another war, the Bimon Air Force could undoubtedly have claimed the Aegean’s top achievement since the onset of the land-sea battle by driving off 1.4 million Sea Clan allied forces with staggering "Molotov Cocktail."
Unfortunately, another grand battle that started on the same day far surpassed the air-ground campaign at Bimon Royal City. With this spectacularly impressive war dazzling in the forefront, the originally brilliant air bombardment at Sabak could only pale in comparison, reduced to a mere backdrop.
This campaign, later honored by military strategists as the enlightenment of modern energy weapons and a textbook example of air-ground coordination, a super battle overthrowing the traditional status of magic, was entirely planned and executed by Rommel himself, unbeknownst to everyone in the Aegean Continent until the earth-shattering aftermath.
In fact, the Aegean Alliance did not place much hope on the deep-penetration operations led by General Mei and his Flying Camel Army. After all, Rommel was not a native of the Aegean, and no one expected him to fight fiercely for the Aegean Continent. Furthermore, the Flying Camel Army’s forces were vastly outnumbered compared to the Sea Clan’s garrison troops. In the absence of effective support from Beamon and humans, anyone in Rommel’s position would preserve their strength.
This point applies to Liu Zhenhuan as well. Although he had an almost superstitious belief in Rommel’s command abilities, he did not have excessive expectations for the Flying Camel Army’s achievements in the short term.
The Summer Palace Guards’ formation was actually very suited for guerrilla warfare, but Old Liu never intended to engage in that. He believed in using the magic teleportation array to rally national forces for a direct confrontation—through practical testing, his strategic approach proved correct. Three million Sea Clan allied forces landed at Donau and were either eliminated by Beamon or chased back to the sea within less than three months. Comparing enemy numbers to the total population of the Bimon Kingdom, even the pickiest critics must admit that guerrilla warfare wouldn’t achieve such brilliant results!
Rommel’s forces weren’t sparse, but they weren’t abundant either. Liu Zhenhuan didn’t believe Rommel would risk provoking the Sea Clan by achieving something miraculous in the Eastern Aegean—having the ability to do so is one thing, whether he would choose to is another.
However...
Rommel is truly someone who defies conventional logic.
The guerrilla group led by camel cavalry, under his command, daringly launched raids on cities with relatively weak garrison forces from the Sea Clan since establishing their foothold. What the outside world didn’t know was that the Flying Camel Army’s most extensive deep penetration operation once set a proud record of a seven hundred miles day-and-night assault, capturing four cities—a feat more fitting for a main force group than a guerrilla unit.
These inside details were unknown to humans and Beamon, who still thought Rommel was likely busy consolidating his strength, waiting for the right opportunity.
The Sea Clan was similarly puzzled by the origin of this force. Cunning Rommel had dyed all Lantsang camels in different colors before entering enemy territory, changed Mulan cavalry’s outfits to be inconspicuous.
It was precisely these unremarkable details that brought considerable confusion to the Sea Clan. To be honest, civilian uprisings and liberation armed forces in Eastern Aegean emerged constantly, and the Sea Clan, with limited intelligence sources, couldn’t investigate each in detail.
As the Flying Camel Army gained stability, their range of activity began to expand, flourishing on all fronts. This screwhead-decorated light cavalry transformed from a modest unit to a formidable tiger and wolf force. They moved like the wind, struck swiftly, never leaving any prisoners. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Human civilians in Eastern Aegean voluntarily acted as the eyes of the Flying Camel Army, providing as much information as possible about the Sea Clan garrison troops, this further facilitated Rommel’s behind-enemy-line strategy, compared to them, other human resistance forces in Eastern Aegean were simply weak.
Through nearly two months of penetration warfare, Rommel rapidly established his base near Sword Peak in Eastern Kalimdo, dispersing Sea Clan garrison troops within a surrounding area of 200 miles, recruiting and reorganizing a great number of civilian warriors and scattered soldiers, escalating his forces like a balloon to over 250,000.
Everything has pros and cons; as the Flying Camel Army’s strength balloons, they quickly garnered close attention from the Sea Clan garrison troops.
The Sea Clan garrison forces also designed several trap strategies, hoping to lure out and eliminate this troublesome Flying Camel Army, but their plans and layout seemed useless against Rommel. This light cavalry still roamed and fought mysteriously across various towns in Eastern Aegean, leaving behind only headless corpses and pools of blood.
The Sea Clan garrison forces also resorted to harsh measures, posting proclamations and warning the Flying Camel Army that if a garrisoned Sea Clan unit were slaughtered by them, the local humans would pay tenfold in retaliation.
This method once effectively curbed other active human resistance forces in Eastern Aegean; although not hundred percent successful, it achieved some effect, but this stratagem did not work on the Flying Camel Army at all. Rommel not only continued to strike but also countered by similarly posting proclamations, reminding the Sea Clan garrison troops of their backward ignorance:
