"Dangdang! Dangdang! "The gongs and drums for the withdrawal of troops sounded.

Despite their doubts, all the people in the city took cover alternately and slid down the ladder. The phantom archers and elven shooters under the city were also busy suppressing the fire and making the people in the city retreat.

Higg, who was still fighting the druids on the castle tower, shouted to the people around him: "You guys retreat first, quickly!" ”

After speaking, he sacrificed the earth spirit bead and cast a earth-shaking mountain shaking skill, boom, the entire gatehouse shook violently, the bricks and tiles on the roof fell one after another, and the people on the ground were almost unstable on their feet.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Higg jumped down the gate tower and returned to the city walls, and with a casual swing of his sword, he split a deadwood guard in half, and the vines that wrapped around the two dwarven deadwood warriors slowly loosened.

Arrows were fired from the walls and towers of the city, and they were fired at the retreating enemy.

"Let's go!" Higg lifted the two injured dwarves up the ladder and let them slide down the ladder!

The two arrows were shot at them, and Higg hurriedly used his body to catch the arrows, and then watched the two dwarven warriors slide down, and then cast a chain of lightning at the dwarves and deadwood warriors who were besieging them, and without looking at the results, he flew and jumped down the city wall.

"Retreat!" Higg shouted, and although he knew that there were many more dwarven warriors on the walls who were tangling with the enemy, if he didn't evacuate soon, the elven archers and phantom archers without any cover under the city would suffer even more casualties under the enemy's condescending rain of arrows. He knew that if he didn't go first, his soldiers wouldn't all retreat.

As the defeated army led by Higg gradually withdrew, a cheer rang out from the walls, as if mocking the enemy's incompetence.

The demoralized army returned to the camp in the dense forest, and Lufasi came to Higg's side with a gloomy face, and said: "The cost of this battle is too great, more than 4,000 killed and missing, and more than 2,000 seriously wounded!" There are still more than 7,000 dwarven warriors, less than 4,000 elven archers and phantom archers, a total of more than 11,000 troops, and the army is low. However, the goal has finally been accomplished! ”

Higg pulled out two arrows from his body and said, "Rest in place!" I'll go to the wounded barracks! ”

"If you're not lightly injured, don't go!" Jesse hurriedly said, "The magicians are all there, but we are short of medicine, and many of the seriously injured will die!" ”

"It's because I don't have the medicine that I have to go myself!" ”

……

The whole wounded camp was miserable, missing arms and legs were nothing, some even had their intestines leaking out, some were unconscious with several arrows, and some were scorched with half of their bodies by magic...... There was a wail.

One by one, Higg began to treat the most wounded soldiers, he could not guarantee that these soldiers would return to the battlefield, but at least they would live, and in his heart, these lovely people were wounded for him, for him to never be able to stand again, and for him to lose his life. It was he, the commander, who put them in danger, but asked them to charge into battle unconditionally for themselves, even if they knew that they would die.

Higg felt that he was too selfish, for his own emotions, for his own ideals, for his own vanity, for his power, what reason was there to drive them like slaves? And they are so hard-working, even paying the price of their lives.

Higg exhausted the last of his magic and fell asleep in the wounded barracks.

He's so tired!

From leaving Benjamin to the City of Revival, to the city of Zolma, to the Silent Forest, to the Druid Domain, he has worked tirelessly; From the preparation of the war, to the formulation of the battle plan, to the rapid march into the country, to the personal landing of the city to fight, all of them were personally involved. Others can complain, protest and vent their dissatisfaction when they are tired, but as the commander-in-chief, even if he is physically tired and haggard, he can only endure and bear silently by himself, and he must make a fearless posture......

"Brother Higg, wake up! Brother Higg, wake up! A voice called in Higg's ear.

Higg opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn, and he was lying on a hay-covered ground with a cloak on his body, and Jesse was shouting and gently pushing himself, and several people were standing around him.

"Mr. Higg, you're really easy for us to find!" A man next to him said to Higg with a smile.

"Marisa?" Higg stared at Marissa in surprise and asked, "How did you get here, didn't you help Benjamin in the Forest Country?" ”

"Things have changed!" Marissa suppressed her smile and said, "The druids sent 300,000 troops, and Arad sent 300,000 troops, entering from the north and south of the forest country respectively, and now the forest country is in danger!" ”

Higg laughed, "This was originally Benjamin and my plan, what's so strange?" ”

Mary continued: "However, Auguston and Hoftton have made an alliance to deal with the Druids and Arad together, and Your Majesty is now in a dilemma! ”

"Alliance?" Higg was taken aback, he knew what that meant, Benjamin would have no place in the Forest Country. Originally, after Auguston eliminated Hofton and Zaragoza, his strength was greatly reduced. When the Druids and Arad were in the city, Auguston could not stand alone, so he had to fight with all his might! At that time, Benjamin rose up again, quickly attacked the royal city of Madeya, and then exposed Auguston's conspiracy to kill his father and seek the country, causing the enemy army to enter and the country to peril, so he could rely on the gathering flag of the elven palace to summon the unicorn army of the divine beast fence to open up the situation, and call on the lowest forest people to resist the druids and Arad. Coupled with the cooperation of himself and Shante in the enemy's empty territory, the incoming Druid and Arad armies were in a dilemma, and they had no choice but to withdraw. Then, then, Benjamin will destroy the decaying trend, destroy the remnants of Auguston, and take advantage of the situation to strike at the aristocracy and re-establish the forest state.

But now, the alliance between Auguston and Hofton can use the depth of the Forest Country to contend with the Druids and Arad armies according to the advantage of the home field, and finally form a standoff situation. Unfortunately, neither the druids and arad, nor Higg, did not expect that the two mortal enemies of Auguston and Hofton would form an alliance, and this change in the situation would lead to the druid and Arad Fifth War Zone falling into the quagmire of war in the Forest State, and a series of actions by Higg and Shante in the Druid and Camillo provinces would make the two armies of the Druid and Aradd's Fifth War Zone have to divide their troops and return to help, and the balance of victory will fall to Auguston.

Benjamin's forces are the weakest, and even if he can successfully attack the royal city now, he will be wiped out by Auguston, who is still very powerful, and he will also have a reputation for colluding with foreign enemies, and with the whole notoriety on his back, what else can he talk about recovering the country?

"How can there be an alliance?" Higg said to himself.

"Your Majesty got the news of their alliance, originally wanted to send me to stop Mr. Higg's entry plan, who knows, when I arrived in the Silent Forest, Mr. had already sent troops, I had to go back to Marishen to report the matter, Your Majesty was worried about Mr.'s safety, so he ordered me to lead three hundred tribesmen to serve in the Higg army! It's a pity that as soon as I arrived in the Druid territory, I lost more than 30 people in the first battle! ”

"You're at war with the druids?" Higg asked curiously.

Maria said: "I estimated the location of your entry based on my own guess, so until last night, I found that the two armies were fighting in Korqin City, which was very tragic, I originally thought that Mr. Higg led the army, so I directly participated in the battle, but I didn't expect it to be the vanguard of Kolincha!" ”

Hearing Korqin City, hearing Corincha, Hig jumped up, held Maria's hand, and hurriedly asked, "How is General Corincha, is Korqin City still there?" ”

Maria smiled and said, "We fought hard with General Korincha, but we couldn't repel the enemy army!" But it is very strange that seeing that we could not hold out for long, the enemy strangely withdrew! ”

Hearing that Corincha and Korqin City were safe, Higg finally breathed a sigh of relief, showed a rare smile, held Maria's hand tightly, and said, "God help me!" No, it's Miss Maria who helps me! ”

"But General Korincha was not lightly wounded, and more than two-thirds of his troops were lost in battle!" The enemy was even worse and paid at least several times more than General Korincha! In that case, the enemy even pulled out the camp overnight and left in a hurry! Based on the enemy's unusual behavior, General Korincha judged that Mr. Higg should be here, so he asked me to come to my aid! Unexpectedly, Mr. Higg was so bold that he dared to attack the enemy's base camp with this little force! ”

Ignoring Maria's ridicule, Higg said excitedly, "Miss Maria, tell me about the situation, I want to know the details!" ”

Mary had no choice but to tell Higg everything she knew.

"General Lufasi!" Higg's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became energetic, "Hahaha, map!" ”

Lu Faxi spread the map on the ground, Higg pondered on the map for a while, and said excitedly: "General Lu Fasi, it seems that our efforts last night were not in vain, and we can avenge the soldiers who died in battle!" ”

Lu Fasi was shocked and asked, "You want to attack the enemy's reinforcements?" ”

"What reinforcements?" Higg laughed, "That's just a group of exhausted remnants of the defeated army!" In my eyes, it's all dead! Hundreds of druids have all run out of magic and dare to go berserk to attack the city, and now the druid officers in their army are not even as good as an ordinary soldier, why should I not dare to attack them? ”

"But they still have at least 40,000 troops!" "There are only more than 11,000 people left fighting, and they are all exhausted and have insufficient rations!" ”

"40,000 troops?" Higg laughed, "General Lufasi, where did your guts go?" What are most of these 40,000 troops? The dwarves and elven archers have been crippled by Corincha, and now the real workhorses are the centaurs! They had just finished a tough battle with Kolincha, and they hastily withdrew their troops to reinforce, 40,000 people, at least 10,000 wounded, plus such a rapid march, the entire army would be pulled away by at least twenty kilometers! We waited for work, set up an ambush on the way, concentrated on his vanguard, let Thomas follow behind the enemy, and hit them from behind, hehe, this battle, although we still have to pay a price, but after this battle, we can temporarily gain a foothold in the territory of the druids! ”

Lufasi was silent, as if he was still thinking about the gains and losses of this battle.

"No military rations?" Higg laughed, "What are the pack horses going to do?" We are tired, and the enemy is even more tired! Tell the soldiers that this battle is over, and I will let them recuperate for a month! ”
