Chapter 625: The Great Retreat

Mu Zefeng quietly looked at the little wolf who said such words, judging from the words alone, this young man undoubtedly made a decision that was rational to the point of coldness, and for the safety and overall situation of the soldiers of the supporting army, he would sacrifice the lives of those avant-garde soldiers who had been fighting side by side with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But Mu Zefeng didn't say anything about it, the little wolf was right, in fact, if he was a little wolf and knew so many things from the beginning, he would have made the same suggestion to his division commander.

Moreover, looking at the expression on the little wolf's face and the fist that collapsed into the back of his hand, Mu Zefeng knew that in the heart of this young man, it must not be an easy thing to make such a decision.

Thinking of this, Mu Zefeng raised his hand and patted the little wolf's shoulder.

โ€œ...... Take it easy, little wolf, you just provided some information and a suggestion, and the final order was the duty and right of me, the commander of the division. โ€

The little wolf didn't understand why Mu Zefeng suddenly said such a sentence with the donkey's lips on the horse's lips, but he quickly reacted, probably because Mu Zefeng wanted to take all the responsibility on him, and wanted to use this to reduce the guilt on some of the little wolf.

"Division Commander ......"

In the little wolf's heart, the incomparable guilt and emotion were tangled together, and he didn't know how to organize his language for a while, but Mu Zefeng didn't seem to care, and after smiling and patting the little wolf's shoulder, Mu Zefeng immediately called the herald.

But at this moment, before Mu Zefeng's order to prohibit the retreat of the avant-garde troops was issued, a majestic voice that was amplified by magic was heard from mid-air.

"Wang Ting's army and horses obey orders! Immediately withdraw from the wild pine forest and form a defensive formation at the foot of the mountain! The third, eighth, and twelfth divisions are responsible for breaking the rear! Don't fall in love with the battle, focus on defense and withdraw from the wild pine forest as soon as possible!"

At the same time as the words fell, a large range of golden light instantly descended from mid-air, bathed in this light rain, those who were originally injured by the fallen demonic beasts because of the previous battle, and fought continuously in the infected state, the avant-garde soldiers who had a little misty and violent look in their eyes suddenly felt a clear in their minds, and the crazy feeling was reduced a lot.

On the other hand, those Dharma Protector Beasts who were chasing behind the avant-garde troops all the way, and were now about to take advantage of the situation to attack the reinforcement army brought by Mu Zefeng behind them, became a lot more restrained immediately after the light came, although it seemed that the light in mid-air did not cause them any substantial damage, but these Dharma Protector Beasts clearly showed their fear and disgust for this dazzling light, so they became a lot more hesitant to attack the front line of the Wang Tingjun who was completely shrouded in this light.

Mu Zefeng and the little wolf both had their eyes lit up, and when they raised their heads, they immediately saw the national teacher who was flying in mid-air with the help of the wings of light, and was unleashing the magic that caused this rain of light with all his might.

"His Royal Highness!"

The old man in the robe had a serious expression, and he only nodded slightly when he saw Mu Zefeng below.

"Commander of the Wood Division, you have done a good job, but now due to the appearance of the Protector Beast, our mountain attack plan has lost the opportunity, and the Commander-in-Chief has ordered all the staff to retreat, and I will cover you here!"

After saying this, before Mu Zefeng could answer, a faint light suddenly flashed in the mouth of the national teacher, and then quickly spread to Mu Zefeng's side.

Sound transmission magic requires relatively sophisticated magic skills, but after learning it, it is a very practical little magic.

"Commander of the Wood Division, there are some things that are inconvenient to tell all the soldiers now, you have done a good job, the three-way army, now only you can stabilize your position and compete with these monsters that suddenly appeared, the Eastern Route Army was originally entangled in the wild pine forest on the east side by the demonic beasts there, so the first time the Protector Demonic Beasts appeared, the Eastern Route Army began to retreat, although the Western Route Army was faster than you before, but they withstood the maximum impact of those monsters in the first time, and ...... These monsters actually have the terrifying ability to degrade in battle, so the front line of the Western Road Mountain Siege Army has now completely collapsed, and the two White Elf Elders are now covering the withdrawal of the army on the east and west sides. โ€

Because of the concealment of the sound transmission magic, only the national teacher himself and Mu Zefeng, who is the object of sound transmission, know the words of the national teacher, so the little wolf standing beside Mu Zefeng immediately saw Mu Zefeng's face with an extremely grim expression, but he didn't know what was going on.

Mu Zefeng frowned, he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, the Eastern Route Army was already deep in the battle situation of the wild pine forest, so it was understandable that it was defeated and retreated halfway, but the Western Route Army actually changed from a overwhelming victory to a big rout in such a short period of time because of the impact of that group of Dharma Protector Beasts...... It's just unbelievable.

Even if the Western Route Army was the first to break through the wild pine forest, it attracted the most attacking Dharma Protector beasts, but with Mu Zefeng's understanding of the generals and elite divisions of the Western Route Army, it stands to reason that even if it encounters a surprise attack, it should not be defeated so quickly and so miserably...... Sure enough, the ability of these fallen monsters to make people fall in battle is really a nightmare existence for any army and group fighting in a large group, although the national teacher only mentioned it, Mu Zefeng believed that more than half of the reasons for the great rout of the Western Route Army should be due to the sudden defection among the soldiers fighting on the front line. Seeing his companions, who were still fighting side by side a second ago, inexplicably go crazy and draw their swords against themselves, this is definitely a fatal morale blow to ordinary soldiers.

"Commander of the Wood Division, although the situation of your Zhenglu Army is not bad, but you can't be careless, just now I saw that in fact, there are already many wounded soldiers in your vanguard troops, and their expressions are not quite right, obviously they have been deeply affected by the depraved aura that has invaded the body, although I temporarily used my light magic plus the power of the law to weaken the effect of the demonic aura in this area, but this is only temporarily suppressing the degeneration speed of those soldiers, they must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late after they are completely degraded๏ผโ€

After saying these words with the secret language transmission magic, the national teacher who was maintaining a large range of light arcane spells in mid-air no longer continued to face Mu Zefeng, but used magic to expand the volume as before, and spoke to the soldiers who were instantly warmed up because of the appearance of a strong man like the national teacher.

"Soldiers, don't panic, Lord Marshal has already been ready to meet you and meet these monsters in the big camp, the Four Holy Sects dare to drive these monsters so blatantly, it is already a great crime, just now Lord Commander got a summons from the royal court, soon not only our friend White Elf Clan, but even the reinforcements sent by the legendary Dragon Clan are about to arrive on the battlefield to support us, so don't panic and form a formation! The wounded immediately quit the battle and returned to the camp for treatment!"

Starting from the battle when he singled out the seventh-order Sword Saint Batu during the counterinsurgency and won beautifully, coupled with the several divine calculations during the next period of the southeast expedition, the status of the national teacher in the army was also quite high, and at such a critical juncture, his words really made the Wang Tingjun below quickly reinvigorate.

Mu Zefeng and the little wolf didn't say much when they saw the opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to issue a series of command and dispatch, taking advantage of the gap that the protector beasts on the opposite side were a little hesitant to attack under the deterrence of the national teacher's light magic, and the command army immediately made way of a road, so that the avant-garde troops brought back by the little wolf with heavy losses withdrew from the front line and headed towards the camp under the mountain, and then immediately resumed the original defensive formation with great efficiency, and began to retreat down the mountain in an orderly manner.

With the help of the seventh-order powerhouse of the national teacher, there is no need to ruthlessly sacrifice the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him before, and the little wolf's mood has also changed a lot, but the little wolf has some doubts about the words that the national teacher shouted before in order to boost the morale of the army.

โ€œ...... Division Commander, when will the dragon clan also get back?"

When the national teacher said that the reinforcements of the dragon clan would also arrive soon, the little wolf paid attention to the expressions of the middle-level leaders of the white elf clan who followed him and Mu Zefeng, and these white elves, who had always looked indifferent, also showed a rare look of surprise on their faces after listening to the national teacher's words, obviously, the white elf clan, who are also allies of the guardian of order and the dragon clan, did not seem to know that the dragon clan would come to reinforce this matter.

Asked by the little wolf like this, Mu Zefeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's the first time I've heard the National Teacher talk about this just now, and the Commander-in-Chief has never mentioned this stubble before the general attack, and I don't know it...... I guess it's possible that the National Teacher temporarily lied in order to boost the morale of the front. โ€

The little wolf was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously felt a little ridiculous in his heart, in order to boost the morale of the front line, he spread this kind of lie that would be exposed as soon as the battle was over, even if it was a temporary emergency act...... If you want to boost morale, there will be more ways, and there is no need to use such blatant nonsense, right?

Thinking like this in his heart, the little wolf didn't say anything, although he didn't quite understand, but presumably the national teacher must have his own considerations, after all, along the way of this southeast expedition, this national teacher suddenly changed from a super thug to a super think tank, and it was not a matter of a day or two, every time the Four Holy Sects wanted to play some conspiracy and tricks, this national teacher could immediately make corresponding countermeasures as if he could predict the future, and he would immediately make corresponding countermeasures against the opponent, and this time he temporarily said such things in order to boost morale...... Maybe people do have some thoughts, but they can't see through it yet.

On the other side, representatives of several leaders of the White Elf Clan also came over at this time, obviously holding the same questions as the little wolf and wanted to ask Mu Zefeng about the so-called dragon reinforcements, Mu Zefeng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, and motioned with his eyes to the little wolf to temporarily replace him to supervise the retreat of the army, and he was to deal with the inquiries from the White Elf Clan.

With the previous experience of commanding the retreat of the avant-garde troops, although it was a little difficult to command all the real royal court to attack the mountain army and horses head-on, the little wolf finally barely fulfilled his duties as a commander and deployed a series of decent instructions.

With the little wolf, a young but experienced commander in defending against the impact of the Protector Beasts, and with the magic assistance of the national teacher, the retreat of the royal court army began to be easy.

On the other hand, perhaps seeing that the group of human troops that they were the target of attack actually began to retreat quietly, or perhaps because they were oversuppressed by the magic of the national teacher's strong law and order power, they had a rebellious mentality, and several individuals in the Dharma Protector Beast herd who were relatively strong about the fifth to sixth order suddenly became ferocious, and they began to attack the Phoenix National Teacher, the key person who caused the reversal of the situation in mid-air.

The whole was dark red, and it was obvious that the magic power had mutated slightly, the grayish ice crystal storm, and several demonic beasts with dark red and dark purple fighting aura jumping or flying up, with strange appearances, all attacked the national teacher who continued to exude seventh-order magic power fluctuations in mid-air without the slightest fear.

In order to ensure that those wounded soldiers who were injured by the attack of the Protector Beast in the previous battle and were invaded by the demonic breath would not suddenly fall in the battle, the National Teacher divided a large part of his mind to provide protection for these wounded soldiers with his buff magic mixed with the power of the law of order, so there was no way to use the seventh-order super law arcane to attack these Protector Beasts for the time being, but it was not to the extent that he was unable to protect himself.

Seeing these Dharma Protector Beasts attacking, the National Master snorted coldly and waved his hand, and several light wall barriers that emitted strong fluctuations of the law of order appeared in front of these Dharma Protector Beasts.

The protection of the seventh-order powerhouse, these Dharma Protector Beasts are naturally unable to break through, but what is shocking is that although the Dharma Protector Beasts that used their fighting spirit to attack the light wall barrier of the national teacher were all bounced off, and the magic that came over was also knocked away on the magic barrier, but the light wall barrier cast by the national teacher also appeared to be obviously abnormal, and where those Dharma Protector beasts attacked, streams of gray unknown substances began to spread from the point and to the periphery at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, the powerful magic barrier released by the national teacher was actually directly affected by these gray substances"Melted" off.

The national teacher's expression was tight, but he was not too panicked, but the soldiers of the army below were shocked, many of them had personally experienced the battle to destroy King Huaide more than half a month ago, and they had seen with their own eyes that the national teacher used the same move to directly block the super martial art of the Sword Saint Batu, who was also a seventh-order, in the heads-up, but now, such a powerful guardian magic was inexplicably broken by several Dharma Protector beasts whose strength was less than the seventh order...... It's really unbelievable......
