137 Retreat (I)
"Boom!" The roar was not very strong, but almost in an instant, most of the more than 100 shamans, great shamans, and priests who were still using magic had already turned into ashes.
The reaction of the barbarian marshal Harpy was not unpleasant, and suddenly he felt a strong crisis, and he immediately jumped up from his mount, the Thunderbird. However, his movements were still slightly slower by half a beat, and a strong paralysis instantly spread throughout his body, followed by a dizziness in his brain, and he didn't know anything.
When the barbarian marshal Harpy woke up, he suddenly found himself alive. However, the concussion of his body and the aftermath of the Beamon royal family's fighting spirit caused a great load on his already extremely tired body.
The battle on the side of Kalpal City is still raging. But at this moment, the barbarian marshal could no longer raise a trace of war in his heart.
He knew that the barbarians had no chance in this war. The moment the last forbidden spell was interrupted, the barbarians were already doomed to lose the last chance to attack Erathia.
There is no news of logistical supplies until now. Not to mention the supplies, not even a little information came, and even the 5,000 troops sent by himself to receive it were not heard. 100,000 regular troops and more than 100,000 logistics supply troops before and after! But now? How much is left?
In the face of the local garrison in the northwest of Erathia, such a weak army, but the barbarian northern tribe alliance led by himself failed one after another. Even the barbarian marshal Harpy himself was a little puzzled as to why this battle had turned out to be the way it was.
The Barbarian Marshal Harpy's will had already broken a little, and he looked blankly at the barbarian warriors who were still charging, and he couldn't even feel angry.
Finally, the barbarian marshal Harpy gave the order to retreat, and countless wounded barbarians, supported by their companions, retreated in disgrace. The appearance of a tragic retreat was in stark contrast to the situation when they launched their attack with high spirits.
The total death toll of the Erathians plus the barbarians exceeded 100,000, and 100,000 corpses were buried in a day or two. At this time, the city of Karpal began to clean up the battlefield, and the victory came so quickly, and so suddenly. After all the efforts of the military and civilians, most of the corpses were disposed of in one day, and the smell of blood in the city of Karpal finally faded a little.
After a long day's work, a large number of Erathian warriors, in addition to patrolling, fell asleep to the sweetest of their dreams, and the generals were finally able to rest. After a total of three days and nights of hardship, they saved their homeland. They are all heroes of Erathia.
At this time, Zhang Yuan felt that his muscles, meridians, bones, and internal organs had all undergone tremendous changes. After the tempering of the last battle, his body has become more tenacious, at least three times tougher than before. The meridians in the body are wider and can withstand more fighting energy. The sea of spirits has also expanded by as much as two times, and both spiritual power and magic power have been greatly improved.
A large amount of energy poured into the body, fusing with his original fighting energy and spiritual power. Whether it's vindictiveness or magic. They have made great progress, and according to Zhang Yuan's own judgment, at this time, his magic and fighting spirit have all improved and broken through the eighth level, reaching the strength of the ninth level of the Holy Knight and the Holy Archmage. In other words, after this battle, his strength has increased by a whole level.
You know, this is a situation where level 8 is upgraded to level 9! To reach this advanced level, the energy required for each level of promotion can even be equivalent to the previous eight levels combined, unlike Wang Daqiang, who purely has the body of the Beamon royal family, Zhang Yuan, who only has the blood of the Holy Dragon and has improved so quickly, is worthy of being a person with strong talent.
After reaching the ninth level of mythology, Zhang Yuan had undoubtedly become one of the strongest among the countries of the continent except for the Holy Land. Even compared to Wang Daqiang, who has a ninth-level Beamon royal bloodline talent, it is not far behind. After all, he was a dual cultivator of demonic martial arts, and with his martial arts skills and special fighting spirits, he had a greater advantage.
By this time, it was already dark outside, and the Erathian warriors who had woken up from their sleep began to get busy again. Saving the dead, clearing the battlefield, consolidating the defenses, there are many things waiting for them to do.
"Zhang Yuan." Wang Daqiang's voice sounded, and he stood outside the room early in the morning, waiting for Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan showed a smile when he saw him and said, "Since the matter here is over, then we should also leave." It's a pity that Maureen died, but I want to avenge him. The plan for the use of troops against the barbarians is only now on the right track, and I want to let the barbarians know about the fate of my friend. ”
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Yuan immediately found Hodfer. Nominally, he is now the supreme commander of the city of Karpal, but after all, the entire city is the territory of Erathia, and he is fighting as a guest after all.
"Marshal Zhang, are you alright?" General Hodfee's hearty laughter rang out, and he walked into the tent from outside. He also had a good night's sleep last night. Although he was still a little tired physically and mentally, he hadn't been so excited in many years.
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, General Hodfei, how is the situation of our army now?"
The smile on Hodfer's face narrowed a little, and he sighed and said, "Although we successfully blocked the Barbarian Northern Legion this time, our own damage was also very large. The attrition in the battle was very large, and the battle was very fierce, and the northwest local garrison unit lost at least half of its combat effectiveness. However, the losses we have inflicted on the barbarians are even greater, and their losses are at least twice as much as ours. The spies I sent out have just reported that the barbarian army has withdrawn to the territory of the Barbarian Alliance. Because there was no logistical supply, they left behind many hungry and wounded mounts on the way back, and there were many dead bodies of wounded soldiers on the way. After this battle, it was not a matter of one or two days for the barbarian northern tribes to regain their vitality. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "This battle is the most important for us, and this time it has dealt a heavy blow to the barbarian Northern Route Army. It was already difficult for all the tribes in their north to organize an effective attack. General Hodfer, the city of Karpal is handed over to you, and I hope you can keep this last line of defense as you did this time. ”
Huo Defei was shocked and asked, "Marshal Zhang, are you leaving?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "I have more important things to do, my companions are still waiting for my return, if it is a qiē shun lì, I think, the barbarians will no longer have the strength to step into the land of Erathia, I will let them learn a deep lesson." Hodfe regretted in his heart, and he sincerely admired the young man in front of him.
Originally. When Zhang Yuan had just come here to take over his dominant position, his heart was still full of puzzlement. However, as the war unfolded, Zhang Yuan and the few more than 1,000 people he brought with him became the key to turning the entire tide of the war.
These people are all strong men, and it is with their help that the city of Karpal can successfully hold on.
Looking at Hodfei's somewhat lonely eyes, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "There is an endless banquet in the world, I believe that under the command of General Hodfei, the Northwest Local Garrison will definitely be able to become an elite main force like the Northern Army in the near future." The burden on your shoulders is still heavy, and the terrain of Erathia is not optimistic at the moment. The real great war was in the south, when our side was sure that the barbarians were no longer capable of attacking. Perhaps, you will also have to lead the elite of the Northwest Local Garrison to support the South. Now's your chance to make a difference. Famous generals only appear in war. I'm sure you must be one of them. ”
