104 Strange Withdrawal

Behind the hunter's base camp, on a hill next to the Great Snow Mountain, a small but unusually strong castle was built, which was the home of Shi Zhongxing's father and son in the vast mountains, and also the base camp of the hunters.

The Great Snow Mountain is much higher than the Emando Mountain, and this castle is built halfway up the mountain, so you can see the entire defense line from here.

Several guards guarding the castle were nervously watching the battle ahead, the figures on the city walls, the smoke and dust outside the city walls, and even the lit fortress in the distance were all presented in front of their eyes.

"How can this be? Assault on all fronts, no place is safe, all the beacons are lit..."

"Look at the west, there was a beacon signal just now, but now it's all smoke..."

"That's Fort Six, and it's probably fallen..."

"Damn, how did this battle go? Even our city walls have been blown down, and I don't know if they can withstand it..."

Just as the guards were anxious about the battle situation ahead, a voice came from the outside of the castle, and it was the herald beside the adult.

"Quick... Raise the Remnant Blood Flag... Blow... Blowing the brass horn... Light the biggest beacon fire..."

The herald under the castle gasped, and repeated the order again under the surprised gaze of the guards upstairs.

At that moment, the palms of several guards were full of sweat, and the corners of their mouths trembled desperately.

"Crippled... The Remnant Blood Flag... This is a surprise attack by the whole army, regardless of the old and the young..."

"Yes... That's right, when the brass horn sounds, even the groom and the cook will go to battle, either die or win, and there will be no way back..."

"All of them will die together, the elders are going to die together, what kind of enemy is it, who can actually force Elder Shi to light the beacon fire..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and carry out the order..."

In the confusion, the remnant flag was raised, and one of the strongest soldiers walked up to a one-man tall horn, took a deep breath, and blew the horn with all his might.

When the horn sounded, the huge wooden pile was also ignited, and these logs that had been soaked in vegetable oil for a long time burned violently, and I don't know what strange was the grease that soaked the logs, and the smoke that came out was actually dark purple. Smoke and fire shot into the sky.

At that moment, the entire hunters' camp was in an uproar, and the huge city-like camp suddenly lost its voice at that moment.

But only a moment later, countless people came out of the house, everyone was busy putting on their armor, everyone did not hesitate in the slightest, and everyone's destination was the city wall, which was the gap.

Not only the soldiers, but even the weak copywriters, horsemen and cooks are also looking for weapons to take advantage of.

This is not the Chu State, this is the vast mountain, and behind it is the Great Snow Mountain, everyone has no way to retreat, and there is nowhere to escape if they want to.

It's not just the hunters' forces that are nervous, and now the entire Daisetsuza is already a sensation.

It's still the sentry, it's still the fat and the thin sentry, just when the two of them were bored, suddenly the fat man stood up, pointed to the smoke and dust coming from afar, and his mouth trembled vigorously.

"Purple... Purple... Purple smoke, slap me in the face, am I dreaming..."

"Elder Shi is dead? Elder Shi is actually dead..."

The thin man was also dumbfounded, but only for a moment, and cursed.

"Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and light the beacon fire, light the purple pile..."

After a while, the sentry point burst into flames, and another beacon tower was ignited, and purple smoke and dust obscured the sky.

Blizzard's internal guards were very efficient, and piles of beacon fires were ignited on the top of the mountains, like a fire dragon resurrected.

Under the snow, the firelight and smoke were so conspicuous, and the beacon tower built in a straight line was used for the first time, and such shocking news came for the first time.

In just half a day, Hou Wen had already gotten the news.

"You fart, how can it be purple? How can it be purple? Who in the vast mountains can kill Uncle Shi... You say, 'Who else'..."

Hou Wen kicked down the guards who came to report the news, and turned around to find his armor.

"Soldiers, I'm going to the Vast Mountain, I'm going to see it with my own eyes..."

Countless subordinates grabbed the young master, "Young master, first send a message to the Creation Gate, and then order troops..."

Hou Wen was already in a hurry, and under the reminder of his subordinates, he hurriedly lit the beacon fire to transmit the message to the south, and at the same time hastily wrote a letter, bolted it to the claws of the golden thread eagle, and let it fly to Zhongzhou Mountain to deliver the message.

This beacon route is faster, and in just one day, the purple beacon fire has been seen in the Zhongzhou Mountains.

"Oh my God, the Purple Beacon Flame, an Elder has fallen..."

"I'm from the south, and there's only Elder Shi in the south now..."

"It's messed up, it's all messed up. A few days ago, Yun Shuyue disappeared, and now there are actually elders who have fallen, what happened to the Creation Gate this year?"

No one could return to him, and now the elders were numb.

Except for Elder Lan Ji who did not come back in Savage Ridge, the rest of the elders were all concentrated in the square in front of the main hall, anxiously waiting for the follow-up news one by one.

No one ate, no one slept, and they waited all night, until the next day, when everyone saw the golden eagle released by Hou Wen.

"The purple bonfire was lit in the vast mountain, and now the situation is unknown, I have led the Blizzard internal guards to support, and the details will be reported later..."

A simple sentence made the hearts of all the elders cold.

It's not a misoperation at all, this is true, the vast mountain really lit the beacon fire.

In just a quarter of an hour, the elders had already reached an agreement, and the three elders, Yufei, Li Xiao, and Hou Tianhang, would first lead three thousand inner gate elites and support the front line on horseback. Master Tongxuan stayed behind the inner gate, and urgently recalled Elder Lan Ji, and the two of them guarded the inner gate together.

In less than an hour, the three thousand light horsemen had all assembled and rushed south.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Just an hour later, the entire Tiandu City was boiling. Just a month later, the entire Zhongzhou continent was shocked.

Let's go back a little bit and go back to the moment when the beacon fire was lit.

When the purple beacon flames rose into the sky, Lord Feng and the Ninth Master's faces changed greatly.

"Stone, stone, you're ruthless. After all these years, your stinky temper still hasn't changed..."

Shi Zhongxing said with a sneer.

"I'm no match for the two of you, I admit it. However, it was a big mistake for the two of you to show up this time. You have managed to hide for so many years, and if you are still lurking, the Gate of Creation may forget you..."

"Actually, I forgot, seriously, a few of us don't have that interest in hunting you down..."

"But today, you actually showed up in front of 10,000 people. From now on, you will face the endless pursuit of the Creation Gate, and you will never die..."

Listening to Shi Zhongxing's ruthless words, Lord Feng and the Ninth Master couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.

I didn't count this guy's stinky temper in thousands of calculations, and I was playing with my life as soon as I came up. We don't want to kill you, but it's just to attract the hatred of the Creation Gate.

Do you need to raise the blood flag? Even the bonfire was lit.

They all say I'm crazy, you're so fucking crazy than I am.

The Ninth Master said softly, "What should I do?" Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, do you really want to kill him?"

"... I'm counting on him to take care of the fire for me."

"And what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? Let the giants rush a little longer, and we'll call it in. Anyway, the benefits are already enough..."

After saying that, Lord Feng didn't even look at Shi Zhongxing, turned around and went back to the woods.

What is the situation? Shi Zhongxing is so depressed that he is about to vomit blood, I have saved up enough energy, just waiting for this life and death struggle with you two, why did you run?

The madman must have a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy, I can't relax, I have to keep an eye on them.

Shi Zhongxing stared at the dense forest stupidly, not letting go of any clues, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the attack of the orcs under the city wall.

Lord Wind returned to Ironmane's side and said in a deep voice.

"The benefits have been reaped, let's prepare to withdraw the troops..."

Ironmane's eyes were bigger than the brass bells, "Why? The city walls have collapsed, our warriors have overwhelmed the enemy's military formation, victory is just around the corner, how can we give up"

"Fart, what do you know? Do you know what's behind the walls? At least 50,000 elites, what do you have enough troops for? Caught off guard, we breached countless fortresses and looted a lot of resources, which are the reserves for our next attack..."

"There is no fat man in the world who eats a mouthful, and the essence of war is to strengthen oneself and weaken the enemy. Our goal has been achieved, so why should we die in vain?"

Lord Wind patted him lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"You are good, you have destroyed countless fortresses and robbed a lot of resources. When we get back, I'll help you build more and better equipment, and I'll help you train your warriors so they can use the battle formations as well."

"Don't worry, when we come back next time, we will get more..."

The words of the wise man cannot be refuted, not to mention that Lord Feng has drawn such a huge pie for everyone.

In desperation, Ironmane had no choice but to announce the withdrawal of his troops, but in order to appease the emotions of the warriors, he led them to sweep the two fortresses to the east.

As the hunters watched the orcs retreat without warning, everyone stood still for a long time.

Why did they just retreat? The orcs who had the upper hand just left? This is not the style of the orcs? Haven't they always been particular about fighting to the death?

The soldiers looked at the corpses all over the ground, dragging their tired bodies, waiting for the order to pursue.

Unfortunately, Elder Shi would not have ordered the pursuit. He hadn't recovered from the shock of those two men yet.

"Crazy, crazy, you're a crazy. Attack for no reason, retreat for no reason, what the hell are you going to do?"

"You have an ambush, you must have an ambush, you want to wipe out my 50,000 elites. Isn't that right?"

The silent Shi Zhongxing stood on the city wall for a long time, and it was not until the figure of the four hundred cavalry was revealed on the western hills that he woke up and gave the order to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, it was already dusk, and this battle was a full day.
