Chapter 167: Stalemate

ยท

In the afternoon of the next day, due to the abnormally low temperature weather maintained by Yuanhuang on the battlefield, some people of the Fire Clan were frozen to death one after another, but it was Yuanhuang who was the first to lose his breath.

First of all, the energy really can't be consumed, and the energy generated by hand-cranked power generation is simply not enough to maintain the extreme cold, and the energy reserves of the spaceship after the sparrow disaster are already insufficient, and now it is even more urgent. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that the temperature will rise and the Fire Clan people will be relieved.

Secondly, these red-haired guys with cold lips and blue lips are digging trenches quite quickly, after all, they use crowd tactics, and if they continue like this, they will dig to a very close range one day. At that time, the frozen Fire Clan will be able to attack from close range and break down the walls...... Now, their large army could not make it through the cold region alive, but the trenches where campfires were lit every other were different.

Yuanhuang's guns were not aimed at the enemy in the trenches from the city walls.

"Can you only take the initiative?" Yuan Huang touched his chin and read the words. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the defenders of the city to take the initiative to meet the enemy, and I am afraid that at this moment, Yuanhuang can only follow suit.

A thousand melee guards were dispatched to prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and Yuan Huang, who was dressed in invincible armor, also planned to go into battle in person. The guards had all taken off their armor and changed into thick cotton clothes, and Yuan Huang, although armed with guns, planned to fight only with lightsabers. The surplus energy was already stretched to the limit, and he could not afford to squander it wantonly.

Out of town.

There was not a single ghost on the silver-white plains, and the Fire Clan people were either hiding behind the woods or cowering in the trenches, and the only smoke that could be seen was countless campfires as if they were in the deep gray forest.

Every second here will shave the body temperature and life of the guards, and Yuan Huang will lead the team into the trench in front, and the soldiers will divide the way due to the small space inside.

Before jumping into the trench, he heard the cries of a group of Fire Clan people discovering the enemy's situation, but was preempted by the other party, and several Fire Clan people jumped out of the trench and shot fireball magic at Yuan Huang.

The fireball hit Yuan Huang's power armor, making a comical popping sound like a deflated breath, and the power was pitiful. It's not because the armor is hard, it's because the Fire Clan people can't perform decent attacks because of the lack of fire elements around them, and even if they hit the guards, it won't have much effect.

Weak explosion.

Yuan Huang grinned in his helmet and slashed several Fire Clan people in front of him with a swing of his sword. The other party has indeed been frozen for a long time, not only is his movements slow, but his magic is weak, he is really so weak that he can't even fight back. Yuan Huang was overjoyed, if this was the case, he could easily wipe out the 10,000 people in the trenches with just a thousand guards he brought, and he drove straight into the trenches and smashed ......

Forehead?

There was a loud bang, and the guards beside Yuan Huang were blown away. Burning in midair, flesh and blood blurred, whirling like garbage, throwing himself into the snow and never moving.

Ay? A one-hit-kill fire-based magic? Where did they get such strong mana in the frozen wasteland?

Explosions rang out one after another, killing all the guards in one blow. In the blink of an eye, the people brought by the source phoenix were being damaged at an alarming rate. When a Fire Clan person took advantage of Yuan Huang's distraction and flew over and hugged the power armor tightly, Yuan Huang realized that he was playing self-detonation again! Obviously, the power of the self-explosion has little to do with the number of fire elements around, and the power is still good, and it blew the source phoenix to the ground on the spot.

Although the source phoenix was not injured in the slightest, it was bombarded by a steady stream of enemies and exploded, and it was so blown up that it couldn't get up. An explosion of this magnitude can't damage the power armor at all, but it's super annoying! The enemy is endless.

If you can hack the enemy to death, you can also prevent self-explosion, but Yuan Huang doesn't know swordsmanship, but he just relies on the auxiliary power of the power armor to improve his action, and he can slash faster.

The explosion made Yuanhuang fall to the ground repeatedly, and nothing could be done.

He turned around and ran, trying to keep his distance.

"He's a mage! It's the leader, don't let him run! โ€

"Wait, do you dare to make me stand first!"

A group of Fire Clan people ran after the source phoenix, although the source phoenix ran through the heavy armor at a considerable speed, but the fire people were frozen at the same speed, how could they not catch up, and soon pulled into a long dragon.

The guards suffered heavy casualties, and their morale collapsed, but now they saw that the lords had taken the lead in escaping, so they also threw away their armor and fled for their lives.

The people on the wall couldn't help but be stunned. I have seen a rout on the battlefield, and I have seen the generals flee to the front, but I have never seen hundreds of enemies let other guards ignore and only chase the generals alone, running out for hundreds of meters, no one shoots arrows and no one catches up, and finally they all freeze to death on the road.

Probably the lord's tactic to lure the enemy deeper, it's amazing.

When Yuanhuang returned to the city, he was cheered by the guards: "My lord is mighty, so many times, all the enemies will freeze to death on the way to chase you, our army will win!" โ€

Still coming?

Just now Yuan Huang was about to get up and was blown to the ground, and as soon as he wanted to get up, he was blown to the ground again, and he almost couldn't run back, and he is still dizzy. Never again!

The 1,000-strong guards they brought with them engaged the enemy in the narrow trenches, and suffered heavy losses and only returned more than 200 people. The Fire Clan are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at melee combat, even if their hands and feet are frozen, they will explode themselves.

"It's not going to go on like this......"

Yuan Huang felt at a loss, if the energy was still abundant, or if a thousand guards could each have a firearm, any problem could be solved. It's just a pity that there are neither.

There is not much energy left to consume. There are not many troops, and they can't afford to spend them. No one expected that the Fire Clan would rather freeze to death than retreat.

It is reported that the western fortress has also fought with the army of the Northern New World, and the scene is much more tragic than here, and the outer city wall has been breached for a time. If the Fire Clan is a madman who doesn't want to die, then there are fanatics who don't want to die, and there is no one to mess with. Wealthy troops from all over the country were sent to the western fortresses, and it was impossible to count on reinforcements.

"It would be nice if we also had many soldiers who were not afraid of death, so many that they were not afraid of the self-exposure attacks of the Fire Clan."

"Yes."

Well?

Yuan Huang whispered to himself, but received a response from Hera Nana. Her attitude was still not very friendly, but she saluted slightly on the face of the knighthood, and then pointed behind her and said, "There are indeed soldiers who are not afraid of death, and there are so many that they are difficult to count. It's just that whether you can drive them or not depends on the ability of adults? โ€

What do you mean? Yuan Huang didn't understand what she meant by pointing to the streets of the city.

"Do you know that there are many monsters inhabiting the sewers?"

Of course Yuan Huang knows. It was an inland specialty of the Starfall Continent, there were almost no monsters in the Northern New World, and the Elemental Continent was a huge wild animal mutation and chaos, but here, the sewers near the royal city, for some reason, inhabited many monsters that should not exist in the world.

"I can take you to the nezumi tribe and talk to the leader." Hera Nana said, swiping her finger sideways in front of her neck, signaling that she would be the first to flee if she was in danger.
