Chapter 838: Hope Comes
The demon's attack was eventually repulsed, but Cyril's losses were also quite significant.
In the head-on battle with the demons, the tank armor of the three squads was destroyed, which reduced the number of tank troops from suddenly to about 200 units, and at the same time, the air demon team also lost a pair, and now the air demon team under Cyril's command is less than 200 people.
The only thing to be thankful for is probably that there are no losses on the part of the fleet, because of the appearance of flying demons in this position, the fleet has not suffered any battle damage, which can be regarded as a gratifying thing, because as long as the number of warships is enough, Cyril can hold on for a while.
Judging from the casualties alone, the casualties in this battle are not only not large, they can even be called extremely small, but don't forget that Cyril's troops are not many in the first place, and even a very small casualty is even worse for them.
In fact, Cyril and the elders have discussed the question of whether to break through many times, and even tried more than once, but each time it ended in failure, and Cyril may be able to escape with Hundred Machines City despite her best efforts, but the other two Sky Cities will definitely be surrounded by demons in the process of covering her escape, which is the best result, but it is also the result that Cyril cannot accept.
"Patriarch, let's go......"
When the battle was over, Bernardo approached Cyril and persuaded her to leave.
As the commander of the defensive force, Bernardo knows very well how long the family's troops can hold out, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can't hold out for half a month, because don't look at this time they successfully repelled the demons, and the losses are not very large, but don't forget that the number of demons is unlimited, and this time it is only a small-scale attack, once the scale is larger, their losses will not be as optimistic as today.
What's more, the flying demon did not appear in the demon's attack this time, which is the fundamental reason why they only paid a very small price.
Without flying demons, the battleship will not be harassed and can be assured to bomb in the air, and the air demon troops can also focus all their attention on the ground without escorting, if there are flying demons among the demons this time, it doesn't need more, even if only a thousand come, then the battle situation may change dramatically.
And this is precisely the reason why Bernardo suggested that Cyril leave, now they still have more than a thousand warships, the number may not be much, but at least they can keep the breakthrough of Baiji City, and if they continue to stay here, then once the flying demon appears in the next demon attack, these more than 1,000 warships may not be able to keep, and even if they can keep, there will definitely be losses, and then they will not even have the ability to escort Baiji City to break through.
"If I can't break through with all the Sky Cities, what's the point of me going back?"
Looking at Bernardo, Cyril said helplessly.
She understood that Bernardo wanted her to leave with the last bit of strength of the family, but as Cyril said, if she only broke through with Hundred Machine City, what was the point of successfully returning to the rear?
The Mylente family is now only five Sky Cities, three large Sky Cities and two medium-sized Sky Cities, if only the Hundred Machine Cities can leave this time, then there will only be three of the family's Sky Cities left, so what is there to talk about making a comeback, and they can't even protect themselves.
"Hold on for a month, according to the current situation, if we can hold out for a month, the coalition will definitely be able to send rescue troops. ”
As the patriarch, Cyril actually thinks more than Bernard, and of course is more comprehensive.
According to the information she obtained, although the coalition forces were caught off guard by the demon's sneak attack at first, they have now readjusted, not only holding the major cities, but also beginning to gather forces to re-clean the Calhan Plains, so as long as they hold on long enough, the coalition will definitely send reinforcements, and as soon as the coalition arrives, the three sky cities will be saved.
"Okay......"
Bernardo can also understand the reason why Cyril does not leave, and can understand the weight of the burden on her body, so he no longer dissuades him, and after leaving the big tent, he will go to regroup the troops, since Cyril has decided to hold on until the reinforcements come to the rescue, Bernardor needs to do it very clearly, he must hold Qingyuan City no matter what.
I have to admit that Cyril's judgment is indeed accurate, because the coalition forces have indeed had good news in the next few days.
First of all, the front line under the command of Marshal Manstein has stabilized the situation, although it has not completely occupied the area of the Ten Thousand Snakes, but at least it has consolidated all the cities it occupied, and has started a tug-of-war with the demons.
At the same time, as the fighting on the front line stabilizes, the coalition forces have more time to reorganize the rear, especially in the Kalhan area, where the coalition forces have begun to gather large forces to understand the demons in the Kalhan area, and send reinforcements to the troops still holding out in various cities as soon as possible!
In other words, Cyril's judgment has been fully fulfilled, and the exact news has been obtained through the liaison officer, and the reinforcements sent by the coalition will arrive in Qingyuan City in a month!
A month is not a short time, but this is not to blame the coalition army, let alone that the coalition army does not pay attention to Cyril, but because the location of Qingyuan City itself is too remote, this small city located on the border of the Calhan Plain is very far away from several major cities occupied by the coalition army, plus at this moment the demons are rampant in the area, especially the flying demons are numerous, so the speed of the coalition troops will naturally be a lot fuller, and a month is already the limit of what the coalition army can do.
Although a month is still a long time for the troops of Cyril and the Myronte family, at least everyone has a hope, and this hope is not ethereal, but extremely clear, so even if they know how much it will cost to hold for a month, everyone in the family is still highly motivated and ready to defend to the death.
However, although Cyril's morale was high and they were ready to defend for a month, the demon's attack stopped......
Three days had passed since the end of the last attack, and the demon had not been silent, not even a single harassment, as if it had disappeared.
But this does not mean that the demons have retreated, in fact, Qingyuan City is still surrounded by demons at this time, the difference is only that the demons no longer attack.
In a way, this was a great opportunity for Cyril to seize the time to repair the defensive offensive during this rare period of calm, and also to allow the troops to rest after a long defensive battle, which was a good thing in every way, at least in the eyes of ordinary soldiers.
But in the eyes of Cyril and other family leaders, something seemed to be wrong......
