Guderian returned to Lanardo's stone chamber, where he was naked, with the help of the guards, dealing with several not-so-deep wounds behind him. Seeing Guderian come in, he nodded and motioned for please. Seeing that there was still a large basin of clean water left after Lanardo had treated the wounds and stains on his body in the stone room, the uneven armor and long hair stained with the blood of the enemy made Guderian a little uncomfortable, so he used the remaining water to wash off the blood stains on his hair, and by the way, he also took off the armor and threw it aside. Although the two large depressions in the armor touched his chest and back, Guderian's injuries were not severe, and his internal organs were more concussed—they had been hit by the Minotaur's cylindrical weapon.

"Every night it is like this, the enemy is draining our forces and willpower. Lanardo took care of his wounds, put on a robe, and looked at Guderian, who was arranging his long hair and examining his wounds.

"Only sixteen of the warriors you have arranged for you to stand are waiting outside for your orders. Guderian twisted his hair half-dry, took a strap from his waist bag, tied his long hair in a ponytail, and draped it behind his back. As he spoke, he looked at his linen shirt and trousers, but fortunately, there were no holes.

At this time, a colonel walked in: "Report, six hundred and twenty-three soldiers and three second lieutenants were lost in battle. Seriously wounded 262 soldiers, 5 ensigns, and 2 colonels. Thirty-six bed crossbows were destroyed, and six crystal cannons were destroyed. There are still 60,000 crossbow arrows left, 10,000 catties of butter, and there are no points for logs and rolling stones for the time being. More than 6,000 kobolds were killed, 403 minotaurs, and 70 drows. At the same time as the school official reported the battle damage and results, Evra also walked in.

"General Guderian. Evra's face was a little heavy, "The battle of the defensive line has already led to the sacrifice of more than six thousand fighters. We can't sustain this kind of consumption for long. ”

Guderian had personally experienced the battle of the defensive line, and of course understood this. However, what better way can there be than defense at the moment? Guderian nodded, hesitated a little, and said, "Perhaps, it would be better for us to abandon the defense line under the mountain and defend the defense line on the mountain with all our might." ”

"It's too risky. Once the enemy breaks through the lines, there will be no danger behind us. Lanardo shook his head in disagreement.

Evra pondered carefully.

"The defense line under the mountain, if new soldiers are thrown in, the intensity of such a battle is too great, and they can't withstand it at all. In this way, the soldiers of the defense line will not be able to repair and replenish their strength, and the enemy will continue to consume them. If you give up this line of defense and go all out to defend the defense line on the mountain, it will first be a good buffer for the seventy or eighty meter slope of the kobolds who are infinitely charging and piling up, and it will also be more conducive to the play of rolling stones and logs. Secondly, the enemy's catapult arrays won't be of much use, and with their range, they must be close to the bottom of the mountain, so we don't need the Crystal Cannons and just the bed crossbow to destroy them. At the same time, their mage sequences will also appear in view, so the attacks that we couldn't reach before may not be condescending. The existence of the magic crystal cannon is to play the maximum role. Finally, Archmage Natasha's battle with the enemy Archmage would be a nightmare for both of them if General Evra or I were to join them. And, retreating to the mountain defenses, with the vantage points, there is a chance to join the battle between them. Guderian explained.

Evra and Lanardo were thrilled by Guderian's words. It's just that hesitating is still there.

"Most importantly, with the advantage of the terrain, our casualties will be minimized, and the recruits will be able to participate in certain defensive battles to a limited extent. This is very important for the growth of new recruits, as long as this defensive battle is fought to the end, we can still hold the defensive line, and the new recruits I brought will directly grow into veterans. That would mean a lot to both the defense line and the kingdom. In the current situation. Guderian gushed.

"General Guderian, your considerations are indeed very realistic. It's just that there is only this last line of defense, and the consequences of the line of defense being broken through are too serious. Let me think again. 'Patrice Evra is still hesitant. Lanardo changed his mind and looked at Guderian with blazing eyes.

"General Guderian, your insight and acumen into the battlefield are truly amazing. Thinking back to the military newspaper about the convoy of soldiers on the Asgard Plains who escaped the pursuit of the enemy, I have a lot of confidence in what you said. Lanardo said, standing up to Evra and saying, "Your Excellency, I agree with General Guderian!"

Evra didn't speak immediately, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "General Guderian, this is indeed a very tempting idea. I have to say, you moved me. So, let's take a risk, and let us stay with the line anyway!" Evra made up his mind, his look full of determination without pulling down his armor under his helmet.

"Glory!" said Lanardo and Guderian with impassioned expressions.

Not long after, Evra and Lanardo immediately convened a meeting of the officers and lieutenants to issue the order to evacuate the line of defense under the mountain and arrange all the work for the evacuation. As a result, the Yamashita defense line after the great battle just now was busy. The stone chambers that had been carved out to serve as rest camps and storage supplies were magically sealed or filled by the mages. The Rolling Stone and logs were transported back to the mountain, and the bed crossbow and crystal cannon were dismantled and reloaded. After dawn, it continued to be busy until noon, and the entire defense line under the mountain was empty. Only in the valley beyond the stone walls, dozens of piles of enemy corpses were piled up and burned by the magic of the mages. Billowing smoke and the smell of burnt fire filled the valley. So much so that the mages had to perform an enlarged area of air purification on the crater.

After the defensive line was withdrawn to the mountain, the strength of the defense was relatively concentrated, and the number of soldiers who could rotate and rest also increased, which was very conducive to the recovery of the soldiers' mental and physical strength.

Guderian woke up after lying on his stomach in Evra's chamber for more than two hours. The lieutenants had prepared toiletries for him and a brand new suit of armor and swords. It is worth mentioning that Evra, the first flower in the army, well, although he may be older, has a pretty good impression of Guderian. Seeing that Guderian's previous armor and weapons were no longer usable, he was lying there sleeping with only a linen shirt and trousers, and thinking about Guderian's resume seen in the military newspaper, Evra couldn't help but shake his head with pity and personally led Guderian's ensigns to the warehouse to select a set of armor and this long sword.

When Guderian appeared on the defensive line, Natasha was floating indifferently over the valley below the defensive line to monitor the enemy's movements. Under the scorching sun, the valley was lined with tents in front and behind of what had once been a human defensive line. It's all kobold's tent. As for the main underground forces such as the Minotaur and Drow, there is no trace of them. Only the mouth of the huge deep black hole beneath the cliff wall on the opposite side was staring coldly at the human defenses.

After turning around and seeing Guderian's appearance, Natasha stopped her patrol and floated and landed in front of Guderian with a strange smile. It's still the flaming red robe, and it might be more appropriate to say that the long skirt is long. At the moment of landing, the long skirt rolled up slightly, revealing white and slender calves. Goodry looked to the left and right in embarrassment as if he had not seen anything. The lieutenants consciously walked away - the general couldn't stand the way she looked at the woman.

"General Guderian. Natasha's seductive eyes were on Guderian. Such a look made the soldiers around him sigh - General Guderian is really charming, and he gave Archmage Natasha to ...... Of course, last night's bravery of Guderian, the fighters on the defensive line were obvious to all. In that section of the defensive line, countless kobolds and minotaurs were pinned down by General Guderian and wiped out. Come to think of it, the legendary General Loglis is nothing more than that, right? The minds of the warriors are very simple, young and handsome strong people, of course, can attract beauties.

"Well, hello, Your Excellency. Guderian pretended to be serious.

"Don't be so rusty, I saw it when you looked up last night!" Natasha slowly approached Guderian and looked up and down with an ambiguous gaze.

“...... I'm just looking at the enemy's archmage. Guderian was a little weak-hearted.

"Really?" said Natasha, ruffling her long fiery red hair, "Am I not as beautiful as that black cloak?"

"......" Gudri didn't hear it, and turned to look at the enemy camp in the distance in the valley.

"Time, it's a wonderful thing. Natasha didn't tease Guderian anymore, and turned to look at the valley side by side with Guderian with a look of memory: "The young man who decided to leave at the beginning is now a mature and introverted general. It's just that I don't know if those entangled relationships are still there?"

Natasha's inexplicable words and look made Guderian's heart tense inexplicably. I can't help but think of Ellie's goodbye kiss and Sophie's heartbroken and crying figure.

"Ten years of waiting, in exchange for amnesia, is this another trick of God?" Natasha muttered to herself.

"......" Guderian did not know what to say. The memory in his brain is not enough for him to know much about the past. There is only silence.

Natasha didn't care about Guderian's silence, she withdrew from the look of memory, glanced at Guderian with a chuckle and left.

Everything is working fine with the defensive line. After nightfall, the defensive line was in good gear for the enemy's attack. It's just that, unusually, the enemy did not continue the attack that night. So, the warriors had a rare good rest for half a night. However, Evra and Lanardo, as commanders, were worried that the enemy was confusing them, and they stayed awake all night. Wait until dawn to calm down, the enemy will not attack during the day, and the advantage of terrain and sunlight can make the enemy unable to advance.

When night fell again, Guderian's more than 2,000 recruits who had stayed outside to rest and reinforcements from Jiangzhou City arrived. For a time, the morale of the troops on the defensive line was greatly boosted. Guderian arranged for the second lieutenants to place these recruits, who were considered the most elite of the entire dragon guard, in various positions on the defensive line. In order to familiarize themselves with and assist in the battle, it is regarded as training. And this night, the enemy again resumed the assault on the defensive line. It's just that there is only the impact of the kobolds, and there is no main force such as the minotaurs and the drow to participate. The whole battle was very easy, except for the recruits who were injured, most of them were accidental injuries and self-injuries caused by their own nervousness and incoordination with their companions, and the enemy couldn't even touch them. The kobold had not been able to rush up the slope to get under the defensive line. And so the night passed.

Over the next few days, Guderian's recruits arrived at the line one after another. Guderian's training plan was also expected to be carried out in battles in which the enemy only sent kobolds for attrition. At first, the original soldiers of the defense line led the team to assist, and gradually, the recruits were able to deal with these kobolds who served as cannon fodder. After all, the advantage of the terrain is there, and the equipment is complete. Such a scene was delighted by Guderian and Achilles, who had just arrived at the defensive line.

Evra and Lanardo sensed that the enemy was plotting something, and they were worried about the line every day and night. For fear that Guderian's recruits would be crushed by the sudden appearance of the enemy's main force, tearing apart the defensive line. Of course, Guderian did not relax his vigilance against the enemy by training recruits. However, it is not known whether the enemy's main forces have now retreated or are preparing for a more fierce attack.

More than a week after withdrawing to the mountain defense, the El Niño Line received a report from the military headquarters about the situation on the mainland—the war between the eastern kingdom and the Sea Tribes had entered a stalemate, the defense of the Asgar Walls was still raging, and not only the United Kingdom was attacked by the underground races in the four countries, but also the Dayu and the Inca Empire were attacked by the underground races at the same time. Among them, the Totai Empire was the most peaceful and domestic

There was no movement in the underpass. The Inca Empire was the most disadvantaged, under the attack of the Sea Tribes and the underground races, the southeastern part of the Inca Empire had fallen, and the occupied area was close to one-third of the area of the empire. The Totai Empire and the Dayu Empire have organized reinforcements to sail down the Orlandlido River. Due to the two-front war with the Sea Clan and the Underworld, as well as too many underground passages, and the defense and battle on the walls of Asgar, the kingdom is no longer able to send troops to support. At home, except for the El Niño Line and the Maginot Line, which are under heavy attack, the other lines of defense have not carried out large-scale attacks despite the presence of the enemy.

Under the bunker where Evra was staying, in the conference hall, Guderian, Achilles, Evra, Lanardo, Natasha, and Brigadier General Ali of the Jiangzhou City Defense Army were discussing the information on the situation on the mainland issued by the military headquarters.

"We don't need to pay much attention to these things for the time being. It is now imperative to find out the reasons and plots behind the cessation of the attack by the enemy's main forces. Lanardo addressed the crowd. These days, he is not less worried about this problem.

"Is there a complete map of the network of underpasses?" asked Guderian.

Natasha glanced at Guderian and said, "In the past, we have sent mages to explore, but the passage is too complicated and the enemy is defending, and the exploration area is small. ”

"The closest to here is the Maginot Line. If there is an exception, we should have received a message. As for the information that the enemy's main forces were not involved in attacking the line, I also sent it to General Francis of the Maginot Line four days earlier. Evra understood what Guderian meant. This was because they were afraid that the enemy would divert their target and attack one of them with a combined force.

"Has there ever been such an example before?" asked Guderian.

There is no such situation in the record. Achilles shook his head.

"Then, that's all there is to it, one step at a time. Guderian said helplessly.
