The 30,000-strong troops of the Arrant Empire retreated, and after leaving behind the corpses of almost 7,000 soldiers and covering the entire wilderness, they finally left the damned hell of Maricha.
Behind them, the corpses were densely packed, and the banners of the Arantic Empire fell on these corpses, and no one even dared to pick them up. Everyone looked desperately at the wall that had just spewed out countless tongues of fire in the depths of the small woodland, with deep fear and pathos.
They were also more than 200 meters away from Maricha when they came closest to the wall, and their archers were greeted by a dense barrage of bullets without even a chance to attack from their backs, suffering heavy losses and losing their combat effectiveness.
If the other party is a little more insidious, a little bolder, he can even completely annihilate the 30,000 Arrant soldiers and not let anyone leave. As long as the other side waits for the other party to get closer to a hundred meters, and then fires at that time, the losses of the three Arrant phalanxes may be twice as much as they are now.
"The attack is simply suicide, the other party has the combat power to slay the dragon, and we should all feel fortunate that we didn't go out of the city to face it." Watching his own army collapse and retreat, unable to even raise the last bit of fighting spirit, a commander sighed depressedly.
He couldn't believe that his immediate boss, General Zorn, would order an attack on such a city - the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not at the same level at all, let alone attack, and it would be a very good ending to be able to hold the position.
If he knew that there was another word called "plane", he would even use "not in the plane" to describe the gap between the defenders of Marichane and the army under his command. That is the gap between the Mortal Empire and the Magic Empire, which cannot be crossed......
The other commander of the 10,000-strong team also had a bitter face, his troops had not been involved in this death-defying attack just now, but he had seen the whole process, so he was very aware of the gap between them and the opponent: "Yes, if the other party wants to understand this and pull the soldiers out of the formation, we have only one way to retreat." ”
The third general rolled his eyes, and he could feel his legs and stomach tremble as he rode his horse. He saw with his own eyes that a 10,000-man squad commander was hit by a cannonball in the ranks, and in an instant the entire 10,000-man squad fell into chaos.
The opponent's ranged attack is already more powerful than the Magic Empire's ranged attack, at least in terms of shelling, Elanhill's artillery can provide more than 3 kilometers of fire support to his allies - the Holy Demon Empire can hardly do this.
He was now glad that he was not the first to go on such a battlefield, so he whispered: "The question is, can we get away?" As long as the other party keeps biting the troops behind our palace and slaughtering them, it will be good if we return to Farud and have 100,000 people left. ”
"You're so optimistic, and in this case, you dare to stay in Faroud?" The officer who was the first to speak sneered and said, "In the face of such a force, we will definitely not be able to hold on to Faroud." ”
Yes, who would dare to face such an enemy head-on? If they really had the courage, when the Holy Demon Empire was bullying, they should have died on the battlefield against the Holy Demon Empire, right?
Isn't the courage of mortals long ago trampled under the feet of magicians? Why did the mortal empire on the other side, Iran Hill, have the courage to fight against the dragon? Why can mortals, who are also mortals, accomplish the feat of slaying dragons?
How many heroes have raised the banner against the Magic Empire throughout the ages? And how many brave soldiers are willing to stand up and follow him? But in the end? They are all buried in the long river of history, and none of them succeeded.
The question is...... Now there is a group of people who have succeeded! It wasn't an amazing thing for them to raise the banner against the Holy Demon Empire, but it was a miracle that they were able to win! This miracle will eventually be like a light that will illuminate the whole darkness.
God knows how many people will rush to Irlanhill after hearing about the earth-shattering battle of Maricha. God knows how many people will be willing to fight for Iran Hill with their lives - those who still have hope in their hearts and courage in their bones will become the cornerstone of Iran Hill's rise.
And all mortal empires know that only these people who still have courage, only those who still have hope, are the most precious talents. The leaders who raised the banner of rebellion against the Magic Empire all wanted to recruit these people, so they shouldered the burden of mortals rebelling against magicians.
After countless defeats, as long as the slogan against the Magic Empire is shouted, there will still be people who are willing to support such a monarch with their lives - so what will become of mortals all over the world when they hear about Maricha's victory?
How many civilians would be willing to become Irranhillians? How many troops will enter Iran Hill to fight for? How many rich people will be willing to give up their wealth? How many ...... will there be
Just think about it, you know how limitless the future of Iran Hill is, if Ran Hill can maintain Maricha's victory, then Iran Hill can become the only mortal empire in this world if he wants to!
Just by fantasizing, the scene is exciting! Billions of people will sing to a banner, millions of armies will die for a name, and the wisest strategists and bravest generals in the entire mortal world will be loyal to only one person......
"I really feel a little sympathetic to Frankie and Adam now......" More and more commanders joined the pessimistic discussion, expressing their preference for retreat: "In the face of such an army, there is no shame in losing the city. ”
The commander's words aroused the approval of a group of colleagues. When they heard the news that Adam was defeated and killed and Frankie was unable to win the battle, they thought that these two men were too underestimated or unworthy of their name. Now it seems that no matter how much they attach importance to the enemy in front of them, they will not be able to escape the fate of defeat after all.
"Yes! Worthy of sympathy......" The other commander smiled wryly, and looked with longing eyes at the huge, dragon-blooded black golden eagle banner of Ellan Hill on the wall in the distance.
Perhaps, General French would not have died in that ghost place in Volavao when he saw the battle of Maricha, right? If he knew that Iran Hill had finally become the hope of mortals to defeat the Magic Empire, the old general might have been relieved to be on Ran Hill's side, right?
As if he had something in mind, the commander smiled at his colleague and left the grove overlooking the entire battlefield. Strictly speaking, this forest is actually within the artillery range of Iran Hill, and it is not considered safe.
"It seems that you can't count on these mortal troops." Looking at the corpse in the distance, General Morse, the general of the Holy Demon Empire, also knew that continuing to send soldiers to attack the city would be of no use except for losing more troops.
"Siege here, siege is not a good option either." He then spoke again, rejecting another attack mode that seemed more reasonable: "As long as the other party wants to break through, they can break through and leave, in this case, they will divide their troops and besiege them, except for being divided and eliminated, there will be no better ending." ”
"Obviously, these mortals have really come up with some amazing weapons." General Morse frowned, thinking about how to stabilize the situation.
In front of an army of more than 100,000 mortals, command 3,000 magical cavalry to storm the opponent's city walls? If it had been in the past, of course he would have made such a decision without even thinking about it. There will be no surprises or losses anyway......
But now, he didn't dare to take this risk: if the attack failed, it would be nothing for him to lose some cavalry, but if he blessed the mortals on the opposite side with some "power of faith", it was likely that the Arrant troops on this side would defect.
The majesty of the Holy Demon Empire had already been seriously provoked, and the head of a dragon still hung on the head of Maricha's city. In this case, if he loses again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, he couldn't take risks, he could only cautiously enter the battle when he ensured victory, and then logically show the majesty of the Holy Demon Empire once again in front of an army of more than 100,000 people, and deter these mortals who were about to move.
Just as he pondered how to break the situation, three dragons circled down in the sky and landed on the reverse slope behind the trees. Slightly embarrassed, Ildo jumped off the dragon's back and walked to General Morse with his sword in hand.
"General!" Somewhat tired, he stopped in front of General Morse, bowed his head and wailed: "My subordinates didn't complete the general's task and couldn't destroy Maricha, I'm very sorry!" ”
Unlike the first time he came to the Mortal Empire with General Morse to warn the Arrant Empire, at this time, he no longer had the arrogance of the Dragon Knight of the Holy Demon Empire, and seemed to have a little more joy and sorrow.
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! General Morse patted Ildo's arm and showed his tolerance. After comforting Ildo, he asked about the current situation: "I am preparing to attack Maricha, what do you think?" ”
"I just saw this attack from the side, and these cunning mortals didn't use their truly terrifying weapons! So you can't attack Maricha head-on! That's no different from suicide! Ildo stopped General Morse's risk-taking attempts.
"They have more terrible weapons?" General Morse was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of Maricha with an incredulous expression: "This is really ...... Surprising news! ”
