Chapter 445: Attack
More than 200 kilometers south of the Quman Mountains, the sky is covered by a thick magnetic cloud like ink, and the occasional thunderbolt and lightning can be seen in the clouds, as if a hidden electric snake is about to move, and under the black pressure of the magnetic cloud, the ground is burned red, and a sulfur-smelling yellow steam is steamed, and a colorful phantom light is revealed in it, like a misty fairy air rotation is uncertain, and a piece of heaven and earth is blurred into a strange space where fairies and ghosts converge.
And in this space, the Spirit Clan army is rumbling towards the mountain range.
After receiving the news of the attack of the Spirit Army, the Eastern Saint Army quickly reacted, quickly closing the defensive line laid along the inner side of the mountain range, and began to gather towards the south, trying to assemble an effective resistance front before the Spirit Army arrived.
However, the news came a little late, the Eastern Saint Army of the northern defense line could not appear in the south in a short time, and when the figure of the Spirit Clan Army appeared in the sight of the Eastern Saint Army, less than 300,000 troops had been gathered in the southern part of the mountain range, including the 60,000 soldiers that Huang Liu brought back when he retreated.
The 300,000 Eastern Saint Army was in full array, and the tiger head rode on top of the beast, his eyes looking through the mask as the strange scenery continued to press, and his eyes were cold and surprisingly cold.
"Is there any news from the Southern Saint Army?"
A Zhonglang general immediately replied: "Someone has been sent, there is no news for the time being, but it should be soon." ”
The tiger head frowned: "What about the joint defense army?"
"Yesterday the defenders sent someone to say that they would meet us today, but it was just ......"
"Didn't show up?"
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and the officers who had followed the Eastern Saint Army for several years knew that the tiger head was already angry at this moment.
On the battlefield in the Southern Regions, the Southern Saint Army can only hold on to the Spirit Army with 400,000 troops and 300,000 rotating logistics troops, and now the Spirit Army has turned to the Quman Mountain Range, but the Eastern Saint Army only has 300,000 troops to defend, and the support from the rear has not been reached.
At this moment, a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the rear of the army, and a sergeant riding a beast was quickly approaching, and his expression was extremely panicked.
"The Commander, the one in charge of liaising with the defenders!"
Hu Shou glanced back and said coldly: "Let him come over." ”
The sergeant who came in a hurry jumped off the beast in a hurry, almost rolled to the ground, hurriedly rushed behind the tiger head, and said: "Report! There is a demon trail in Phosphorus Fire Town, and the route of the rear route army is blocked; the towns and cities in the eastern part of the Xuanwu Domain are in rebellion, and the joint defense army is too busy to come to support!"
"What?"
"Demons?"
"Rebellion?"
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
"Silence!"
The head of the tiger roared, and everyone was full of excitement, so they stopped one after another.
Airplanes!
I saw that with a wave of the right arm of the tiger head, a vigorous vitality covered the ten feet around him, and all the sounds were firmly locked in it, and a noise barrier was actually laid down.
"What's going on?
Hearing the low shout of the tiger head, the sergeant who summoned the message knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, trembling all over, and his mouth was still busy repeating the news.
He brought two pieces of news.
The first news is about Phosphorus Fire Town, that is, the closest human town to the Quman Mountain Range, which is an extremely important connection point for the Eastern Saint Army when deploying defenses on the inner side of the Quman Mountain Range, if the Eastern Saint Army that has not yet arrived in the north wants to join the troops in the south, it is bound to pass through Phosphorus Fire Town, but at this critical moment when the Spirit Clan Army is coming, there is a problem with Phosphorus Fire Town - the demon that appeared a month ago, and the demon that ravaged the Xuanwu Domain appeared in Phosphorus Fire Town!
No one thought that the demon would appear in Phosphorus Fire Town, you must know that this town is different from other third-level towns and cities, this is the location of the Eastern Saint Army's defense, and its defense force is even tighter than that of first-level towns and cities, and the towns and cities attacked by demons are all third-level towns and cities, and there is no comparison with Phosphorus Fire Town.
But at this moment, Phosphorus Fire Town is at its weakest moment.
The attack of the Spirit Clan Army caused the Eastern Saint Army to move southward, and the inner defense line of the Quman Mountain Range was all gathered to the south, including the military strength of Phosphorus Fire Town, because of this, all the defenses of Phosphorus Fire Town were temporarily abandoned, and its defensive strength was even weaker than before the appearance of the Eastern Saint Army.
And it was at this moment that the demon appeared.
The demons who destroyed several towns and cities one after another undoubtedly defeated the town defenders of Phosphorus Fire Town, but unlike the previous towns, the demons did not destroy Phosphorus Fire Town, nor did Shi Shiran leave after a killing, but set up a strange formation in Phosphorus Fire Town, and hijacked Phosphorus Fire Town and hundreds of thousands of people in the town!
Phosphorus Fire Town, a prisoner of the devil!
At such a time and in such a place, the demon's usual behavior happened to become a barrier for the follow-up troops of the Eastern Saint Army to gather, if they wanted to converge quickly, they had to break through the barrier of Phosphorus Fire Town, otherwise it would take them several times longer to arrive smoothly.
"It's just one person, can't even tens of thousands of troops deal with him?" a general snorted coldly at the messenger.
The messenger was dripping in a cold sweat, but he couldn't answer the question.
It stands to reason that no matter how powerful the demon is, it is impossible to compete with tens of thousands of Eastern Saint Army, not to mention that there is one of the six generals of the Eastern Saint Army, Pinos, who is in charge of the command, but the fact is diametrically opposite, Phosphorus Fire Town has no tendency to be breached, and the follow-up troops of the Eastern Saint Army are completely unable to move forward smoothly.
The tiger head's gaze was cold, but he didn't dwell on the issue of Phosphorus Fire Town for too long, but asked directly, "What is the rebellion you are talking about?"
"That's ...... In the early hours of this morning, a large number of demonic people suddenly appeared in more than a dozen second- and third-level towns and cities, which caught the town defenders of each town by surprise...... Even the Town Lord's Mansion has been breached!"
Devil's Way!
It's the devil again!
Everyone looked at each other, shocked by the news again.
The root cause of the rebellion, no one knows where it started, but these dozen towns and cities are all the only way for the northwest reinforcements to support the Eastern Holy Army, but there was turmoil at such a coincidental time in the early hours of this morning, which made everyone feel ominous.
This makes one have to wonder if all this is not a coincidence, but a trap - a trap laid against the Eastern Holy Army!
"Where did you say the Demon Dao?"
The tiger's voice sounded calm, but there was a chilling chill underneath the calm.
"Yes, it's the outcasts!"
"Outcasts?"
The crowd frowned, not understanding who the sergeant was referring to.
"It's Nanxi Town, Wushan Town...... Those outcasts who survived the destruction of the demons in the towns and cities!"
Smack!
There was a crisp sound of bones, and a trace of horror and incredulity flashed in the eyes of the sergeant who came to deliver the message, and his throat rattled twice, and then his gaze quickly dimmed.
Moments before the sergeant was about to collapse, one of the tiger's henchmen stepped forward to help him up, as if he were helping a weak patient, and carried him away from the place.
The man was killed by the head of the tiger, but none of the officers around him dared to raise objections.
It's really the news he brought is too shocking, enough to shake the shock of the army's heart!
Up to now, almost everyone understands that the Eastern Saint Army was designed, and the person who designed the Eastern Saint Army is the demon who suddenly appeared a few days ago!
The destruction of several third-level towns and cities such as Nanxi Town, the loss of Phosphorus Fire Town, and the rebellion in the eastern part of the Xuanwu Domain, all of these successive bad news are for one purpose - to let the Eastern Saint Army facing the attack of the Spirit Clan Army face it alone!
Isolated and helpless, this is the situation of the Eastern Saint Army today.
The strength of the Spirit Clan Army is well known, and the destruction of the Wild Tiger Tribe, led by Nan Por, is a good proof of this, and now that the three Spirit Beast Kings have arrived, even if the Tiger Leader, the commander of the Eastern Saint Army, is here in person, with only 300,000 troops, there is still not much hope that they can stop the Spirit Clan.
However, the Eastern Saint Army can't retreat, because of the defense of the Quman Mountain Range, the Southern Saint Army has very few troops in the east, and almost all of them are placed on the battlefield in the Southern Regions to face off with the Spirit Army, if the Eastern Saint Army retreats at this moment, then there will be a gap in the southern border of the Xuanwu Domain, and the Spirit Army will inevitably pour into the Xuanwu Domain along this gap, and at that time, the fate of the Xuanwu Domain will be the same as the original White Tiger Domain, and it will be a victim of the barbarian war.
"Qiao Ximing......" Tiger Head muttered these three words in a low voice.
No one knows the true identity of the demon, but in the dark, the tiger head has a feeling that the demonic young man who escaped from the hands of the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat in the civil and military performance is absolutely inseparable from this demon.
Revenge? Or is it just a bad thought?
Tiger Shou couldn't guess the reason behind the demon's design, but he knew one thing, that is, the demon, succeeded.
"Commander, what do we do now?"
Huang Liu suddenly spoke, lowered his head and asked the question in everyone's minds at this moment.
The tiger head glanced at Huang Liu, only to see a worried face.
"What do you think?"
Huang Liu was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the tiger head, as the commander, would throw this kind of question to himself at this time.
But after only hesitating for a moment, Huang Liu arched his hand and said: "Commander, the Spirit Clan's army is strong, why don't we retreat first, divide our troops to help the joint defense army quell the chaos, and suppress Phosphorus Fire Town, and then turn back......
"Are you saying that you just gave up the territory of the empire to the Spirit Army?"
"......"
Huang Liu's face was embarrassed, but the tiger head suddenly looked at him sharply, and his right arm shook.
Noise barrier lifted!
"Pass my order, the entire Eastern Holy Army will defend the territory of the empire, hold on until the reinforcements come, and then try to counterattack!"
The expressions of all the officers looked a little strange, but after the tiger head gave the military order, everyone including Huang Liu lowered their heads.
"Obey the commander's edict and defend the empire's borders!"
"Eastern Saint Army, fight!"
The Spirit Army is close at hand.
