After the students led by Levi and the four instructors completed the escort mission and arrived in Handi Town, it had been a week.

In the course of a week, the Fort Maplelim Corps had fully entered the strategic counteroffensive phase. When the Northern Army Group was unable to leave the stronghold of the town, they launched a large-scale counterattack.

It is true that during this week, the counteroffensive was still dominated by large-scale and small-scale battles, but basically no such thing as sneak attacks and ambushes was carried out, but instead turned to the combat strategy of cutting off supplies and besieging the city. At the same time, two days earlier, Ferbrazer had personally led two armored regiments and conquered two towns in one day.

During this period, Derek and Zhang Jin, the two elemental powerhouses of the Northern Frontier Army, did not appear.

If that had been a month ago...... No, half a month ago, it was definitely impossible. Derek and Zhang Jin dreamed of seizing the opportunity of Fairblazer's attack, and then with the strength of two people, to catch the 'Lava General', which can be killed on the spot, of course, it is the best;

The role that a strong element can play in a small and medium-sized war is very crucial.

Now, however, the tide has turned.

After learning that the demon hunters were participating in the war, he and Zhang Jin began to beware of the participation of the northern element hunters.

Just looking at the elemental hunters of the North, there are enough of them; Not to mention, he also got information, the training class of the Demon Hunter General Guild, and also joined the war, accepting the war commission from the Maplelimburg Legion.

Li Zhoucheng, the 'Wind Stepping Leg' on the famous element list, and Li Wei, the 'Evil Eye Demon Knife' who has become famous in recent years, all joined the war.

In this case, how dare Derek and Zhang Jin take the lead? To rise is to look for death.

……

The two generals of the Northern Army chose to be turtles, which made Levi feel a little bored.

Before, on the night when he had just arrived in Cold Land Town, the eight elemental powerhouses gathered together, and the strategy discussed was to use Fairblazer's solo attack as a bait to lure Derek and Zhang Jin to make a move, and then all the elemental powerhouses went out together to directly clean up the two generals of the Northern Territory Group Army.

As a result, even if they lost two towns and more than 2,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, they still sat firmly on Diaoyutai and honestly acted as turtles.

After squatting for several days, watching that guy from Ferbrazer kill and kill with all his might, while a few of his own people can only wither, this is not a good feeling.

After tossing and turning for a few days, and really unable to seduce the two generals of the Northern Army, they reconvened a military meeting to discuss the issue anew.

In the end, they made a very bold decision.

……

In the year 447 of the pioneering calendar, August 21.

Ever since the demon hunters of the North joined the war, the Northern Army Group has adopted a strategy of contraction. They almost gave up attacking outward. With the cooperation of the demon hunters, the Maplelimburg Legion almost pushed the northern front back to the south for hundreds of kilometers after about half a month of attack.

Now, the actual control area of the government forces led by Generals Derek and Zhang Jin in the north has shrunk by seventy percent compared to when they were at their strongest. After walking more than 100 kilometers to the north, Limestone Town was already out of the actual control of the Northern Territory Army.

Being forced to such a point, Derek and Zhang Jin both had sad faces.

In the past nearly a month, the personnel of the Northern Army Group have suffered considerable damage. The group army, which had more than 100,000 men, had already lost 10,000 men in just one month without a large-scale battle.

On the other hand, the number of dead and wounded on the side of the Maplelinburg Legion was less than one-tenth of theirs.

The two generals of the garrison sat together in the headquarters in Limestone Town and sighed.

"Has there been any reply from the Prime Minister lately?" Zhang Jin asked.

'Winter Knight' Derek said, "Aren't you going to keep going? ”

"Where's the support?"

"Two infantry divisions on the road ......"

"What's the use of coming to ordinary soldiers?" Zhang Jin said angrily: "What about those elemental agents of KSS? There are not a few masters of the element level, how can this battle be fought? ”

Derek sighed and said, "The two generals, Mandley and Starns, will bring the two top agents, Red Bull and Black Fox, to support those two infantry divisions. With them, we're in a much better place. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Jin was overjoyed: "There are four strong elements to support you, why do you still look so sad?" ”

"Hehe......" Derek smiled bitterly twice and said, "Those guys, they haven't set off yet, they have to go to Limestone Town, at least in half a month." ”

"Why is it so slow?!"

"No way, after the witchers entered the war, you thought that Westdum would be too peaceful?" Derek complained, "How many Demon Hunter Guilds are there in the Upper Tier alone?" For example, the Hunters' Guild of the Iron Cross Avenue even has the 'Sakura Sword God' in charge...... It's hard to do. ”

"It's really not possible......," Zhang Jin said, "let's retreat, abandon the town of Limestone, continue south, and wait for further reinforcements to arrive before attempting a counterattack?" ”

Derek was silent for a moment, not speaking.

Zhang Jin waited for a while, and couldn't help urging: "We have to make a decision as soon as possible, even if we really want to hold on to Limestone Town, we have to further shrink our forces, otherwise we will be very dangerous, and you don't want to ......"

Before he finished speaking, a senior staff officer hurriedly ran in from outside.

"General! Big things are not good! ”

The staff officer's face turned pale and looked very frightened.

When the two generals saw this guy's appearance, they also chuckled in their hearts. But after all, a general is a general, and there is still some bearing.

"Speak slowly." Drake said, "What's the matter?" ”

The senior staff officer took two breaths and said, "To the north, our scouts suddenly spotted an armored unit flying the banner of Fort Maplelin, which was advancing at high speed to the south. As of now, we have four lines of defense that have been breached! ”

Derek immediately stood up, with panic and anger on his face: "Why is there only information coming out now?!" ”

"I don't know." "According to our guess, all the scouts and sentries who observed this force before they were quickly dealt with before the news was sent, and it wasn't until they started to assault our inherent defenses that the news came out!" ”

"How could it be ......" Zhang Jin looked incredulous, "How could it be so fast?" ”

——

After getting off the plane, we ate and started to code words.

Yesterday was the last day in my hometown and I was drunk......
