Chapter 44: Retreat on all fronts
Although it is said that Zedra has magic, which did not exist in ancient times, spellcasters are very rare everywhere, and with the number of spellcasters owned by the [Justice League], even if it is ten times more, it is impossible to speed up the entire army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the army of the [Justice League] was able to advance fifty kilometers a day before being harassed by the Crypt Demons, which is already a very, very awesome thing. In ancient China, and even in modern China, it can be said to be a military miracle.
Also, don't forget, there are slower baggage teams in the army, but there is no room for loss - due to the suddenness of the incident, the [Justice League] army did not have enough food and grass. All of the grain and grass of the baggage team came from the granary of the Mole People, and it was all the grain and grass of this army.
In other words, the grain and grass carried by these baggage teams is the lifeblood of the [Justice League] army. If these grains and grasses are lost, the army that has penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, even if they are crazy to loot, it will be difficult to plunder enough grain and grass for the army to eat, and many people will be starved to death.
You must know that the baggage team has nearly 1,000 carts, and about two-thirds of these carts contain grain and grass. However, this amount of food and grass was only enough for the army to feed for two weeks - this is due to the fact that the Mole people are more numerous, and they have mastered relatively rudimentary farming techniques, and have far more grain stores than other races. Otherwise, if you change to another race, you will not be able to afford the food of so many troops.
Therefore, if you lose this grain and grass, even if the army is crazy to loot, you will eventually starve to death.

After successfully blocking the advance of the [Justice League] army through intensive attacks, the various clans of the [Freedom Alliance] began to implement the tactics of clearing the wilderness under the organization of the Crypt Demon Clan - transporting the Alliance's troops, the clansmen of the Alliance's tribes, and those useful materials to the Alliance's base camp as much as possible, and destroying the materials that could not be taken away.
There is no way, the comprehensive strength of the [Freedom Alliance] is not as good as the [Justice League], and after the fiasco of the frontline base camp, the comprehensive strength is only more than half of the [Justice League].
Therefore, the [Freedom Alliance] did not dare at all, nor did it have the ability to fight in the field with the main force of the [Justice League], so it could only concentrate its forces in the base camp of the Alliance, resist the attack of the [Justice League], and quietly wait for things to take a turn for the better.
Of course, during the implementation of the fortified wall and clearing the wilderness tactics, it was not without races and forces, and they felt that the big ship of the [Freedom Alliance] was about to sink, and wanted to get off the ship as soon as possible, or simply throw themselves into the [Justice League].
It's just that the power of the Crypt Demon Clan is too strong, and the races and forces with such a mind have been wiped out by them with an overwhelming combat power advantage - the Crypt Demon Clan has more than 280 adult clansmen, even if because of the fiasco of the frontline base camp and the attack on the [Justice League] these days, many adult Crypt Demons have died in battle, and the Crypt Demon Clan still has about 250 adult clansmen.
As long as the crypt demon is an adult, it will have the strength of a human superior, that is to say, the crypt demon clan has about two hundred and fifty human superiority powerhouses. With so many high-level powerhouses, they already account for more than eighty-and-a-half of the number of high-level powerhouses in the [Justice League], and the other races of the [Justice League] are simply powerless to fight against the Crypt Demon Clan.
Therefore, under the armed deterrence of the Crypt Demon Clan, the [Freedom Alliance] clans who have learned the lessons of their "predecessors" can only obediently give up the idea of "disembarking" and surrendering to the enemy - at least on the surface, as for what they think in their hearts, only God knows.
On November 4th, after several days of frantic marching, the army of the [Justice League] arrived at the [Freedom Alliance] base camp and surrounded the [Freedom Alliance] base camp as soon as possible.
At this time, it has only been five days since the [Justice League] sent troops...

After successfully forcing the [Freedom Alliance] back into their base camp, the [Justice League] seized the time to attack the [Freedom Alliance's] base camp, hoping to destroy the main force of the [Freedom Alliance] as soon as possible to ensure the victory of this war.
On the one hand, he sent troops to sweep the borders of the [Freedom Alliance] and loot all useful supplies, especially the food and grass that the army lacked the most. By the way, all the tribesmen who were found from all over the world, whether they were men, women, old or young, were all killed - the many races that made up the two alliances were enemies of each other, such as the Mole People and the Snake People were mortal enemies.
The clansmen of the two races, even in peacetime, may fight when they meet, let alone such a large-scale race war.
In this case, even if the top management of the [Justice League] understood that this kind of slaughter would provoke the hearts of the major races of the [Free Alliance] to fight to the death, they still did not dare to stop those soldiers who were dominated by hatred.
In addition, some radical [Justice League] high-level also felt that they should take the opportunity to completely eradicate the major races of the [Freedom Alliance], so that they would not pose a threat to their future generations, so they openly and secretly supported these soldiers, making the sane [Justice League] high-level even more unable to prevent this brutal massacre.
Eventually, the massacre became a legitimate act that was not openly endorsed by the [Justice League], but no one stopped it.
And just when the [Justice League's] sweeping forces were scraping the ground in the territory of the [Freedom League].
On the other side, in the face of the onslaught of the [Justice League] army, the main force of the [Freedom Alliance] in the [Freedom Alliance] base camp was separated from the large army during the retreat due to heavy casualties, successive defeats, and the relatives and friends of some soldiers. As a result, morale began to drop bit by bit.
If it weren't for the [Justice League's] sweeping forces, the inhumane massacre of the scattered clansmen of the [Freedom Alliance's] major races made the main force of the [Freedom Alliance] in the base camp and the heads of the major races angry, and understood the fact that their race had no way out.
In addition, the base camp of the [Freedom Alliance], that is, the lair of the Crypt Demon Clan, after more than a hundred years of operation, if the [Justice League] cannot be captured for a while, I am afraid that the [Freedom Alliance] has been completely defeated by the [Justice League].
However, it is clear that sticking to the base camp is not a long-term solution. Food is a big problem, if nothing elseβafter all, it's because of the lack of food that the Crypt Demon Clan is fighting for territory and eventually sparking the Great War that will engulf all of Zoltra.
