On the side of the road, in a makeshift camp, several Holy Demon Empire soldiers standing guard were looking dejectedly at the ranks of friendly troops retreating westward on the road. Before these brightly armored soldiers could plunge into the brutal battlefield, they were ordered to begin to retreat.

The flank attack of the Elanhill Empire worked, and the Holy Demon Empire had to abandon its plan to attack Higsnar and withdraw its troops from the salient as soon as possible, so as not to form a huge encirclement and bury its own living forces.

About 30,000 people are destined to be encircled in this huge encirclement, and the remaining tens of thousands seem to have a chance to escape. How long has it been since the Holy Demon Empire experienced such a fiasco? Maybe they don't even remember it clearly.

Once upon a time, when facing the Mortal Empire, they didn't even need to use a powerful magic legion, just relying on the dragon knights and giant horse cavalry, they could easily defeat their opponents.

They have become accustomed to exploiting the mortal empire, accustomed to seeing themselves as gods, above all mortals. But today, they have to remember the cruel fact that they are not gods, and they are not weak ants who are oppressed......

"Did you hear that? The 4th Legion is in charge of the rear of the palace...... "A soldier stared at the elite infantry with spears in the distance, and said, "We will start retreating tomorrow...... I hope those flying machines of the other party will not fly to make trouble......"

The comrade-in-arms standing beside him was holding a straw stick, and he didn't seem to care about the status of a decent magician: "Isn't it? I heard that when the 1st Army retreated yesterday, the opponent's flying machines dispatched a large group, and the 1st Army Corps couldn't raise its head, which was a miserable one. ”

"More than 2,000 people were wiped out in one day, and who can afford this way of fighting." The soldier who spoke first pressed his hand on the sword, unworthy of his dead colleagues. He sighed while shaking his head.

The loss of the Holy Demon Empire is completely irreparable this time, and if you don't know the Norma Empire, you have to spit out the benefits of eating. The current defeat has caused the Holy Demon Empire to lose a large number of magicians, and it may not be able to recover for a few years.

What's even more terrifying is that it is still unknown whether the Iran Hill Empire in front of him is willing to stop fighting, and if the other party insists on fighting, then how the Holy Demon Empire will end up is a serious problem.

War is a very strange thing, you can choose when to start, but there is no way to choose when to end, even if it is the victorious side, there is no way to control the exact time of the truce, this is the uncertainty of war.

"It's going to be lively...... More than 30,000 captives of the Holy Demon Empire...... Can you believe it? The archon estimated that his nose was crooked, and how much would he have to pay to get these captives back? The other soldier said sarcastically, with some resentment.

This war was originally reluctant to be fought, after all, the war against the Norma Empire had almost exhausted the enthusiasm of the common people of the Holy Demon Empire. In the beginning, everyone thought that the invasion of Higgs was just a small war against the mortal empire, so the opposition was not so harsh.

But now, the war has reached a dead end, and the Holy Demon Empire has no way to win, and even peace has become a little unlikely, which makes the people, who have long lost patience, begin to be dissatisfied with the decisions of the council.

The people are determined that it is not only the common people of the Mortal Empire who are unwilling to wage war for a long time, but also the people of the Magic Empire, who are also human beings, and they are not willing to pay for the endless wars.

"I have never fought such a humiliating war...... Even if the Eternal Empire taught us a lesson, we didn't fight so badly......" The soldier who spoke first said with a wry smile.

He is also a veteran of the oil and has participated in the war against the Eternal Empire. The two sides are still on the same level of combat power, although the Eternal Empire is stronger and the magic is stronger, but everyone can barely fight a dozen and not lose like this.

But as a magical empire, everyone knows that the Eternal Empire is just a magical empire that is stronger than the Holy Demon Empire, and to the west of the Eternal Empire, that ancient and mysterious country is the real powerful existence.

"I don't know what this Iran Hill can become...... another soldier muttered as he looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers who passed by their camp.

In front of him, behind the soldiers who had just opened the way, there were wounded people who could not see the end, some of them lying on the carriage pulled by the giant horse, and some of the wounded lying on the shelves carried by the back of the mountain mover.

Many more of the wounded could only walk on their own legs, carrying their wounded arms or with thick bandages on their heads, looking lonely and depressed, as if they had lost their souls, and walked westward step by step.

This is the path they have taken when they came, and now they can only follow this path and return to where they started. At a terrible price, at the expense of their friends or relatives, they got nothing but a painful memory.

The day after Ellan Hill began his counterattack on the southern front, the combat forces of the Holy Demon Empire began to retreat. They abandoned the entire salient, leaving only part of the army to support their own defensive line.

These remaining troops are destined to stay here, but no one knows how much of the retreating troops can withdraw.

The Iran Hill forces, which control the Rozrol region, are trying to expand their gains, and they are attacking north and east, and they are closing the bag of the encirclement step by step.

The Holy Demon Empire's troops, which had lost their air cover, moved very slowly, and they had to move at night to avoid the threat from the opposing air power.

It's a pity that neither the dragon knights nor the giant horse cavalry are ideal night action units, so whether it is to attack in the dark or to retreat in the dark night, it is not an easy task for the army of the Holy Demon Empire.

After all, humans are still not accustomed to being active at night, and this habit is common to both mortals and magicians.

At this moment, all the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire were waiting for their fate with apprehension, the record of complete victory over the Mortal Empire that the Holy Demon Empire had maintained since its birth was ruthlessly broken in this battle, and for the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire, the times had changed.

No one knows what kind of situation the Holy Demon Empire will face next, because no one knows what kind of fate a magical empire will be if it is defeated by the mortal empire.

On the side of Irlanhill, the situation is not too optimistic, the Higgs area is trying to absorb the wounded on the front line, and the price paid by Ellen Hill, who has won a hundred battles, is a bit more than everyone imagined.

On the frontal battlefield, the successive losses exceeded 100,000 people. The Holy Demon Empire's mage forces were not in vain, and while their dragon knight forces were slaughtered by fighters, they also inflicted heavy casualties on the ground forces of Ellan Hill.

Most of the combat units under the command of the 2nd Army have lost their offensive capability, so that the follow-up counterattack work can only be carried out by second-line troops such as garrison regiments. Under the cover of part of the main forces of the 2nd Army, the first counterattack launched by the 10 garrison regiments successfully drove the Holy Demon Empire back to 100 kilometers from Higsnar.

The encirclement is being compressed, and the Holy Demon Empire, which is no longer able to reinforce, has given up the supply of the troops inside the encirclement. The rapidly depleting reserve of mana replenishment is the biggest enemy of the Holy Demon Empire's troops who persist in fighting.

After all, they couldn't get magical supplies in the Forbidden Demon Realm, so this way of relying entirely on logistics supplies made them even more afraid of being surrounded.

It's just that now that the encirclement is about to be formed, and it has become a fact that the Holy Demon Emperor team in the pocket cannot be replenished, then it can only be described in one sentence The Holy Demon Emperor team in the encirclement is running out of time for them.

Compared with the desperate Holy Demon Empire troops, the current Iran Hill troops at least have an absolute advantage in logistics and supply. Countless supplies and mobilized soldiers are heading to the front.

Although the Holy Demon Empire has a clear advantage in the battle loss ratio, the Mortal Empire also has its own advantage in terms of military strength, and Iran Hill has mobilized more than 2 million troops, which the Holy Demon Empire cannot make up in any way.

The training system of magicians determines that their number is not too much, and the replenishment speed of the magic legion naturally cannot catch up with the second-line garrison regiment of Iran Hill that can be on the front line in dozens of days of training......

When Alan Hill's troops were continuously sent to the front line, and even the construction of the rear was not delayed, the Holy Demon Empire could only watch its opponents continue to grow because of the two-front battle and the difficulty of troop mobilization.

This can be clearly seen from the comparison of the strength of the two air forces: the forces of the two sides were evenly matched before, but now, the sky has been occupied by the fighters of Iran Hill, and the number of these flying mortal weapons is still increasing......

"Now all we can hope for is the mediation of the Eternal Empire......" Looking at the soldiers with broken armor and wounded bodies, as if looking at their own future, this ordinary soldier of the Holy Demon Empire said with a wry smile.

"The Eternal Empire? Will they care if we live or die? I estimate that the only one who can help us this time is ......" The comrade-in-arms who was also in a heavy mood nodded on the side and agreed with him.

Hearing the other party's words, the soldier seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said, "Yes...... Look at the true gods who are willing to give us a chance. ”

As they talked, above their heads, in the distant sky, a meteor pierced the sky. Fupin Chinese
