The three legions besieged the Guards, and after a crushing defeat on the first day, the tide of battle finally began to turn around on the second day.

Although the Guards Legion was still attacking sharply, after a whole day of fighting, the three major legions, which already had a certain degree of adaptability to the opponent with superior strength, were able to organize an effective defense and barely resist through several times the numerical advantage.

Although the proportion of casualties was still very large, and although the three major legions seemed to collapse at any time under the aggressive offensive of the Guards Legion, the battle of the second day finally survived.

During this period, the battle was always confined to the range of ordinary people, and even high-level dream builders rarely attacked. Several Grandmaster-level Dream Builders of the Special Legion remained silent with the Holy High Priest on the opposite side, and never participated in the battle group.

Otherwise, once the Grandmaster-level Dream Builder goes to war with all his might, the entire Shengzhou City will be destroyed, and although the Guards Legion is elite, the 20,000-strong army may not be able to survive one out of ten. Of course, this is only a less important reason.

This time, the Holy Empire dared to infringe on the territory of the Free Alliance, naturally it had the means to deal with Kim Jong-yang, and the Holy High Priest openly showed up and joined the Guards Legion, in fact, he was forcing Kim Jong-yang to take the lead. However, Kim Jong Yang cowered in the tower and let the outside wind and rain blow, even if the entire Freedom Alliance was beautiful and rainy, he did not move!

So the Guards Corps advanced all the way, making sure to force Kim Jong Yang to come forward, but now that it was besieged by the three major armies, the situation gradually turned passive.

If the Holy High Priest really made a move, then even if he faced several Grandmaster-level Dream Builders such as Barton at the same time, the Holy Empire would still have more chances of winning, but it would be impossible for the High Priest to defeat multiple Grandmasters without loss, and there would inevitably be losses. And at that time, if Kim Jong-yang suddenly came forward. The whole plan was about to be shattered, and even the whole battle was slid into the abyss.

It is inconvenient for the Holy High Priest to attack, and it is difficult for the Guards Legion to completely defeat the three legions on its own. In fact, the situation of the Guards Corps was very delicate when the Second and Third Army Corps, which were supposed to arrive quickly in the rear, never arrived.

In front is Katsushu Castle, the core city of the eastern provinces. Conquering it in one fell swoop would result in the biggest victory since the war began, as it would mean that the Free Alliance would lose a quarter of its territory. However, when the rear forces are insufficient, even if Shengzhou Castle is occupied, it will be difficult for the Guards Corps to continue to advance forward, and it will involve more energy due to the problem of city defense.

As for retreating after turning around...... Now, the Sanyuan Fortress, which could have been used as a stronghold, has been destroyed, and the two major legions have been buried with it, and the Guards Legion will inevitably be harassed in the process of retreating, reducing its own combat power.

The situation is very troublesome. Therefore, from the first day of fighting, after the news of the self-explosion of the Sanyuan Fortress reached the front line, the Guards began to flexibly conserve their strength, no longer storming with all their might, trying to delay the arrival of reinforcements in the rear.

Although this is manifested on the battlefield, it is only a trivial change, but in fact, the entire battle situation has been slightly reversed. After the fall of the two armies of the Holy Empire. It's hard for them to continue to grow by leaps and bounds like they used to. The strategic goal of attacking the city of Free City in three months encountered great challenges.

And the root of all this is the three-element fortress that suddenly exploded. A shocking explosion buried a centuries-old fortress and nearly crushed the Grand Strategy of the Holy Empire!

In the eyes of the people of the Guards Legion, the culprit who caused all this, Wang Wu. It is really respectable and terrifying, and it is worthy of the late Six Princes who are also amazed, and even sigh at the peerless genius of Furu. It really has the ability to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain.

It's just that the Holy Empire soldiers on the front line heard that a genius with such clever means has fallen into condemnation in the territory of the Free Alliance, as well as the notoriety of butchers and demons. These soldiers all felt amused, no wonder the Six Princes said that it was difficult for Wang Wu to get room to play in the Freedom Alliance. Only the Holy Empire is the most suitable stage for him. ...,

Even if he suffered heavy casualties, the people of the empire would still admire him as a warrior and a hero. This kind of value is difficult to understand in the eyes of the Freedom League people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

It's a pity that after killing tens of thousands of warriors of the Holy Empire, Wang Wu has become a mortal enemy of the Empire. In order to destroy it, the empire will stop at nothing.

Of course, if His Majesty the Emperor was willing to abandon all previous suspicions and recruit Wang Wu to join the empire, then most of the soldiers would be able to endure the grief of the casualties of their comrades. Embrace the genius of this peerless world. It's just that the emperor doesn't seem to have the intention of soliciting.

By the third day, the Guards Regiment was still fighting fiercely. However, the battle line opened and gradually moved westward, away from the castle of Katsushu.

It turned out that after the 2nd and 3rd Army Corps suffered heavy losses, the 5th and 6th Army Corps, which arrived later, were also in trouble, and it was difficult to arrive in time to help. The Guards Legion's supplies have been depleted, and it takes the constant projection of high-level dream builders and clerics to meet the needs of the soldiers. Although they will not run out of ammunition and food for a while, the priests will consume a lot of physical strength for this, which will greatly affect the high-end level of combat.

On the fourth day, still without reinforcements, the Guards finally retreated in great strides, and the three major armies tried to pursue, but when they looked at the disadvantaged army, they understood that they were powerless.

However, in any case, being able to stop the invincible Holy Empire Guards is already an unprecedented feat since the beginning of the war.

As the flag of the Guards slowly disappeared on the horizon, the soldiers under the castle let out cheers of survival.

"We survived!"

The battle with the Guards was like being in purgatory, and it was a great deal of torture at every moment, and it was a relief to see the other side retreat.

On the battlefield, Li Nana wiped the sweat and blood stains on her face, and wanted to open her mouth to remind everyone not to take it lightly, but at this moment, she was speechless. The battle was less than four days, but she seemed to have experienced three lives and three lives.

Beside Li Nana, is the commander of another legion, Zhu Yaoji, who is also Li Nana's loyal suitor, three days of fighting side by side gave him the opportunity to perform in front of his sweetheart, and now it seems that the other party's attitude has also loosened, which is the best news, but he has no strength to celebrate.

Now, I just want to go back to the barracks in Shengzhou City, sleep hard for a few days and nights, and forget about all the bloody battles.

However, after returning to the city, Zhu Yaoji and Li Nana found that trouble had just come.

――

Returning to the military camp in Shengzhou City, in order to wash away her fatigue as soon as possible, Li Nana, under the leadership of Zhu Yaoji, entered the latter's mansion in the city. Although this move may cause some rumors, but after being covered in blood, Li Nana really wants to take a hot bath.

However, when the two entered the door of the mansion, they saw a black-haired teenager sitting at the dining table in the living room, biting a huge piece of ham.

The two were stunned at the time, and they were so frightened by this abrupt scene that they couldn't speak. Instead, the young man turned his head first, smiled and greeted vaguely.

"Yo, long time no see~"

Li Nana exclaimed: "Wang Wu, it's you!?"

Zhu Yaoji didn't expect Wang Wu to appear here: "You still dare to come!?"

Wang Wu laughed: "Why don't you dare to come?"

Zhu Yaoji frowned and said, "Do you know that what you did before has been ......?"

Wang Wu interrupted with a smile: "What I have done has given you the opportunity to save your lives and return to the city from the impact of the Guards Legion, and successfully keep the eastern provinces from falling in a short period of time. Isn't it amazing?"

Zhu Yaoji moved his eyebrows and didn't say anything. As a corps commander, although his command ability is not outstanding, he still has this strategic vision. Wang Wu detonated the Sanyuan Fortress, using a doomed fortress and a soldier of the army, causing several times the damage and holding back the Guards Legion. This is the most noteworthy achievement since the beginning of the war, but in the Freedom League, this is not only meritorious, but may be punished. The country's system is so distorted. ...,

If it weren't for that, the Freedom Alliance's national strength and technology were all superior to those of the Holy Empire, so why would it be so embarrassed?

Li Nana couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, although Wang Wu's plan was extreme, the effect was surprisingly strong, if he could be given more resources, he would definitely be able to shine on the battlefield, but ......

If there is no accident, the envoy of the capital will probably arrive at Shengzhou City soon.

Next, there will probably be no shortage of military tribunals and the like. Although for the sake of Kim Jongyang's face, Wang Wu will not be really convicted, but Li Nana knows very well what the group of bureaucrats in the free city are.

After thinking about it, I almost received the life-saving grace of others, and I couldn't let the situation develop in the worst direction.

"Wang Wu, would you like to come to our army as a staff officer?"

Incorporate Wang Wu into the Second Legion, and no matter what happens after that, at least one more layer can be taken care of.

However, in the face of Li Nana's release, Wang Wu was not interested at all: "Forget it, just the group of waste wood under your command, it really makes people not interested in commanding~"

Zhu Yaoji was a little annoyed: "Don't be ignorant! Do you know that the envoy sent by the capital is already on the way, and you will be in big trouble in the future!"

Wang Wu smiled again: "The envoy from the capital?"

Zhu Yaoji sighed: "Detonating the Sanyuan Fortress, although you have a good reason, but in the eyes of the bureaucrats and literati in the capital, it is an unforgivable crime. The notice of trial will come down soon. ”

Wang Wu nodded, put down the ham in his hand, and took out a delicate and gorgeous, but bloodstained paper from his arms: "Is this it?"

Zhu Yaoji's pupils contracted suddenly: "You ......"

Wang Wu grinned: "It's nothing, I saw the corpse of this messenger on the road yesterday, probably by the assassins of the Holy Empire~"

As he spoke, the notice in the young man's hand was crushed by him and turned into ashes~
