Chapter 633: Burning Soul On
"The whole army retreats!"
The commander of the high wall gave the order for the whole army to retreat, and the soldiers remaining on the battlefield received the order and moved one after another.
In essence, a significant part of the soldiers were filled with confusion in their hearts, they did not know what the point of retreating now was. Although a surprise attack is tantamount to death, where can you retreat? Let the Desert Dragon King lead the entire army of the Desert Legion to the border, tear down the walls of the Dawn Base and then level the interior of the base, slaughtering everyone on the surface and in the dungeon?
"Wu Qi, the order from above is for us to retreat." After Guo Baibai heard the commander's voice in the combat command channel in the carriage, he relayed the order to Wu Qi through spiritual transmission.
Wu Qi was still standing on the wasteland. He carried Krees and ran quickly back to the side of the armed field vehicle, Guo Baibai opened the car door, and first reached out to pick up the injured Krees.
Wu Qi stepped on the steps of the carriage with one foot, and the other foot did not get on the car for a long time. He glanced back at the approaching desert legions to the northwest, a storm of emotion brewing in the depths of his pupils.
This is a war, not a war in which he alone can decide the outcome of the war. The war has been fought so far, and the Dawn army has paid and sacrificed a lot, but it is obvious that they have lost.
As soon as the remaining Dawn army retreated, the Desert Dragon King was able to walk unhindered to the high wall. It is 40 meters taller than a wall, and can overturn most of Base Dawn's industrial facilities with a single attack of dragon horn energy. If the base's energy defense field was effective against the Desert Dragon King's strongest attack, why did the high-walled heavy artillery array suppress its actions for so long.
When it is said to be retreating, it is actually hoped that they will flee in an organized manner and not scatter like birds and beasts. At least the soldiers and the remaining military vehicles are better than being wiped out.
Wu Qi got into the armed field car, and the field car rumbled and withdrew, along with the army on the left, to the long gate that opened at the base of the high wall. When all the military vehicles and soldiers on the left returned, the long gate of the wall landed.
The remnants of the army in the middle had not yet fled, and they were in positions where there was little hope of evacuation, and the commander of the wall clearly intended to abandon them.
Even if the field commander Ye Zheng was still trapped in an overturned armed heavy field vehicle behind enemy lines, there was no way.
The long gate of the wall fell. The second order of the commander of the high wall was heard in the combat command channel in the chariots.
"All soldiers, you are the living force that has survived the battle of our Dawn Base, and now I have the mission order to give you - to escort the inhabitants of the dungeon through the southeast gate of the Dawn Base. Once the fugitive troops are far away from Base Dawn and out of sight of the Desert Legion, you make a detour to Noah's base. Be sure to do what the soldiers can to escort as many people as possible to Noah's base safely. ”
All the soldiers heard the commander's words clearly, and some of them looked in disbelief and disbelief; Some had long expected it, and their eyes were dead.
"I see." Wu Qi let out a long breath. The answer in his mind was finally confirmed.
The Dawn Base had determined the outcome of the defeat before retreating, and the retreat of their soldiers was nothing more than to show the value of the remnants of the defeated army, and this value was to escort the inhabitants of the dungeon.
"Commander, there are so many inhabitants of the dungeon, how can we escort them?" A squad leader talks to the commander directly on the combat command channel. His voice was a little familiar to Yue Zhanfei, Guo Baibai and others, and when Yue Zhanfei said the battle plan before, this squad leader also replied.
The commander quickly replied: "All the heavy field vehicles in stock at the Dawn base have driven to the southeast gate of the base. I hid this from you before, but I was already doing it before you sent out the army. Heavy field vehicles and the amount of supplies and water they can carry are limited, and it is true that only some of the dungeon's inhabitants can get on the vehicles, and the rest have to hide in the dungeon. ”
"That ......"
"Don't ask how the dungeon's escape list was chosen, it's confidential and can't be made public to you." The commander was unequivocal.
The Soldier Squad Leader shut up. If you continue to ask questions, no matter what the result of the commander's words is, the soldiers present will be subjected to more torture of conscience and feelings, which will definitely not be conducive to the subsequent escort and escape operation.
"The targets you want to escort have all gotten into the car, and you can set off when you reach the southeast gate. Good luck to all of you on the safe journey, and after leaving Base Dawn, another officer from the Survey Corps Headquarters will take command of me. ”
After the commander of the high wall finished speaking, he cut off the connection of the combat command channel, and the soldiers could only hear the rustling sound in the carriage.
"Let's go, procrastination is irresponsible for the dungeon dwellers we are escorting." Yue Zhanfei stood up and took the lead in saying leave in the quiet combat command channel.
Yue Zhan flew to the beginning, and all the chariots turned their heads and drove in two columns on the main road leading to the southeast corner of the base.
The high wall to the northwest, farther and farther away from them.
At the lookout command post at the top of the high wall, the commander pressed the button to cut off the communication channel with one finger. He maintained this motion for several seconds.
Beyond the glass window was the boundless darkness of the night, and the light in the observation post was so weak that it seemed to be swallowed up by the night in one bite.
Here you can directly see the wasteland in the distance without a lookout scope, and see the Desert Dragon King, which is taller than the lookout command post, leading the black-pressed desert legion to launch a full-army assault.
The Desert Dragon King's whole body was covered in gold, and in this state, it could not use the dragon horn gathering energy, so the firepower of the heavy artillery array was all covered by the black suppressed Desert Legion Plague Species at the feet of the Desert Dragon King. At every moment, they could see the clouds rising to the sky on the ground, each of which symbolized the shattering of a certain number of enemies.
"Are you afraid?" The commander asked suddenly, and he asked the other soldiers in the lookout command post, as well as the patrol soldiers who continued to hold on to the control center of the heavy artillery array.
No one answered, and the commander himself continued: "Aren't you afraid? Afraid? It doesn't matter anymore. In any case, we need to carry out our mission in the final hours before the end of this war, maintaining the defenses of Base Dawn and adding life to those hiding in the dungeons. The soldiers who went to escort some of the dungeon residents also embarked on a path of despair that was not much less than ours in order to carry out the soldier's mission. ”
"Soldiers, I don't need you to shout, I don't want you to roar, please continue the battle in silence. In the end, we can make a lot of enemies hear the same requiem as we do. ”
The commander uttered the words that had been brewing in his chest for a long time. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the end of the wasteland to the north, and there was a glimmer of light shining like a bright lamp.
