The battle on the border between the Eastern Alliance and the Lucian tribe was destined to be a bloody war of attrition from the outset, and the two belligerents competed not to see which army was more combative, but who could withstand the heavy casualties and enormous pressure of the high-intensity fighting.

After a whole day of bloody fighting, the two warring sides paid a terrible price in casualties, and it was not until sunset that Malen, who had the advantage of the army, ordered the trumpeters around him to blow the horn of a truce.

Hall's troops, who had also fought hard for a day, were not as terrible as the enemy's casualties, but they were also painful, so after the enemy sounded the horn of a truce to retreat, Hall did not lead his army to fight to the death, but wisely chose to withdraw his troops and make a truce.

After the exhausted soldiers collected their troops and returned to the camp, Hall sent thousands of soldiers with well-preserved physical strength to be responsible for night patrols on the periphery of the barracks, and at the same time ordered his own soldiers to go to each military tent to count the casualties of each military tent one by one.

The death of a large number of noble soldiers made it difficult to count the casualties, which was not complicated, but Hall could not help but count the casualties of his own soldiers, and in desperation, he had to use the extremely primitive method of counting the number of heads in the military tent.

It was not until midnight that the busy Hall learned the exact number of casualties of his army; in today's battle alone, more than 17,000 Lucy soldiers and more than 24,000 second-line soldiers were killed, and the 150,000 army was sharply reduced to less than 110,000!

Even if he had been prepared, this almost terrifying casualty figure still made Hall feel breathless; after all, it was nearly 42,000 soldiers killed! Not 12,000, not 4,200, but a full 42,000!!

What is the concept of 42,000 soldiers killed in one day? This dizzying figure means that if such a fierce battle continues for three more days, Hall's 150,000 troops will be wiped out, and if it continues for seven days, the 300,000 border troops of the Luxi tribe will be exhausted!

Even if there were still 150,000 garrisons and 150,000 counterinsurgency troops in the Luxi tribe, it would be useless, because the Eastern Alliance itself still had a population of one million and two or three hundred thousand troops, and no one knew how far the Eastern Alliance's reckless military force could go!

As the commander of Lucy's army, who personally led the army into battle, Hall knew that the casualties of the Eastern Alliance's army in today's battle were at least more than double that of his own army, but the crazy Eastern Alliance would not stop fighting because of this, and Hall knew this.

Of course, what upset Hall was not only the heavy casualties of his own army, but also the 450,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance, who were missing.

However, the outbreak of today's great war made him lose contact with the scouts he had sent out, so that he had no idea where the other 450,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance had gone. And the unknown enemy is the real most terrible enemy, isn't it?

Compared with Hall, who was full of confusion and trouble, Mullen, who was also ugly, had much less to think about, and in the eyes of Mullen, who had no way out, a desperate attack on the Luxi tribe was both the choice he wanted to make and the only choice he could make.

As for why his face is ugly, do you need to say more? In today's battle, even the Lucy army, which had an advantage in the early and middle stages and was in a state of stalemate in the middle and late stages, lost 42,000 soldiers, and the casualties of Mullen's troops, who were almost always at a disadvantage, could not be heavy?

Mullen, who learned the specific casualty figures before midnight, could spurt out a mouthful of old blood if he didn't have a good enough psychological quality;

In today's battle, more than 90,000 soldiers were killed in the 50,000 elite Dat tribes of Maren's lineage, and more than half of the 20,000 elites of other tribes were killed, and more than 11,000 were killed in the battle!

However, the heaviest casualties were the cannon fodder troops under the command of Mullen, the number of cannon fodder troops as high as 180,000, there were more than 3,000 unlucky ghosts killed by the overseers on the way to retreat, and after counting these people, the number of dead soldiers in the cannon fodder troops was nearly 70,000!

Killing 90,000 soldiers in one day, such a terrible casualty made Mullen, who was accustomed to using a large number of cannon fodder troops to consume the enemy's vital strength, feel restless; he didn't even need to think about it to see what kind of morale of the cannon fodder troops had dropped!

Even so, Malen still did not give up his plan to continue to use the cannon fodder troops tomorrow; because the cannon fodder troops are cannon fodder troops, and the value of their existence is to consume more of the enemy's vital forces, so Malen will not feel sorry for the loss of the cannon fodder troops at all.

The only thing that worries Malen is whether the low morale of the cannon fodder troops will lead to the collapse of their entire army on the battlefield, so that they will drag down their descendants, and in order to avoid this from happening, Malen decides to expand the size of his overseer team.

In view of this, it is an impossible task for the Overseer team composed of 1,000 elite soldiers to contain the complete collapse of the 100,000 cannon fodder troops.

With 10,000 elite soldiers to supervise the battle of 100,000 cannon fodder troops, Mullen has full confidence to ensure that the cannon fodder troops will not fall into the situation of the collapse of the whole army on the battlefield, so that his strategy of desperate attrition can continue to be implemented unhindered.

In the early morning of the next day, the military camp of the Eastern Alliance here had just sounded the horn of the whole army to assemble, and the military camp of the Luxi tribe over there had also sounded the horn of the whole army going to battle; with the sound of the two horns, the two armies, which were ready for battle, would begin another day of brutal and fierce fighting.

Until the final victory is decided, neither the leader of the Dart tribe, Mullen, nor the famous Lucy general, Hall, will retreat a step back, and they can only complete their missions by fighting to the last soldier.

In this way, the unusually bloody border battle was fought for two more days, and after two days, there were less than 40,000 soldiers left in the 150,000-strong army of Hall's army, and more than 80,000 soldiers left in the 250,000-strong army of Malen's army.

If the two armies, which are unable to sustain themselves, continue to fight so desperately, then the officers and men of the two armies, who have been numb to the point of killing people, will probably really collapse as a whole, and this collapse will not stem from fear of the enemy, but from disgust with the act of killing.

After three days of fierce fighting, it is no longer enough to describe the fierceness of the battle with corpses all over the field, it seems that bleeding and drifting are more suitable; the grass stained red by blood makes it impossible to see the original color of the grass at all, because only the bewitching and abnormal red color catches the eye!

Finally, on the fourth day of the outbreak of the border battle between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe, first the Hall's troops and Mullen's troops launched their fourth battle weakly, and then Roderick's 40,000 Lucy cavalry appeared on the battlefield!
