Reinforcements arrived, and when it came to chasing down the remnants of the enemy, the coalition forces showed even more ease.

A group of strong men gathered their aura and hid in the army, waiting for the enemy strong to take the bait.

It's a pity that yesterday's big battle has frightened the top level of the giant foot centipede. Now they are all bent on fleeing, and there is no organization to fight back at all.

"Marshal, the route of our pursuit is wrong, and the enemy does not seem to be preparing to go to the province of Palma to join the Demon Crocodile.

If we continue to entangle with the enemy here, the defenders of the province of Parma will not last long! ”

The Marquis of Simeone said worriedly.

Knowing that taking the opportunity to beat the water dogs and annihilating the remnants of the Giantfoot Centipede is the best choice.

But war is not only about military affairs, but also about political factors.

After all, he is a colleague, and allowing the province of Palma to fall to death will be a major blow to his domestic prestige.

"The Giant Foot Centipede Army is demoralized, and they no longer have the ability to fight with us, if they don't join the Demon Crocodile Clan at this moment, then their goal is very clear.

The first place where the Demon Crocodile Clan appeared was in the Province of Pofil, so the entrance to the Geocentric Passage should also be here.

It's a matter of safety on the back road, and the Demon Crocodile Clan can't give up easily.

As long as we keep an eye on these giant-footed centipedes, they will lead us to the geocentric passage, and then the enemy will panic! ”

Hudson said with an unhappy expression.

As a guest army, the life or death of the defenders of the province of Parma has little to do with him.

The two sides have no friendship, and they cannot change the established strategy for these irrelevant people.

He also understands the predicament faced by Marquis Simeone, but understanding does not mean that he is willing to help take the blame.

If it weren't for the overall situation, he really wanted to give an order to divide the troops, and let the Marquis of Simeone himself lead the troops to support the province of Parma.

Sensing Hudson's attitude, the Marquis de Simeone immediately remained silent.

Political issues are important, but military issues are equally important. To let him veto Hudson's decision is really embarrassing.

There seems to be only a thin line between the deputy coach and the manager, but in fact the power is very different.

If he really offends someone, his family's private army will have an accident in a certain battle.

……

The battle to recover the remnants of the enemy has been in full swing.

Facing the cavalry behind them, the centipede soldiers' hearts were broken.

"Fight!"

The roar of a large-faced centipede soldier inspired the fighting spirit of the fellow centipede soldiers.

It's a pity that my current situation and anger don't match.

I finally mustered up the courage to fight the enemy desperately, only to find that the armor on my body was completely gone, and I didn't know where the weapon in my hand had been thrown.

"Ahh

A scream came out, and the centipede soldiers who rushed forward were directly pierced through their bodies by a spear, and fell in a pool of blood with unwillingness.

The splatters of blood directly extinguished the desperate fighting spirit of a group of centipedes.

Now it's not a question of whether they fight hard or not, but they don't have to fight at all.

From the moment they chose to abandon their armor and weapons and flee for their lives, they lost the capital of their desperate efforts.

It's useless to regret it, if they hadn't given up those bulky armor weapons, they would have fallen on the battlefield a long time ago, and they wouldn't have been able to escape from their current position.

One centipede soldier fell, followed by the second and third centipede soldiers, fleeing faster than their companions, only a few more moments to live.

As long as the Terran cavalry catches up, there is almost no chance of survival.

Killing, non-stop killing!

Whether it is fighting back or kowtowing and begging for mercy, the final outcome is the same.

The officers and men of the coalition received an order to kill all the invaders!

This is the dignity of the continental hegemon, and as the marshal of the Terran race, Hudson must resolutely defend it.

The chase continues, and now is the time to test your strength.

The weak centipede soldiers fell in a pool of blood; The strong centipede soldiers are still fleeing ahead.

……

Palma Province, the camp of the Demon Crocodile.

"Two Venerables are dead, and the Giant Foot Centipede is leading the enemy straight to the entrance to the center of the earth?"

"It can't be!"

The Demon Crocodile King said excitedly.

Obviously I just wanted to verify the news, but I received two bad news at the same time.

Deep down, he had hated the Centipede King to death.

If possible, he wouldn't mind having the Giantfoot Centipede all broken into pieces.

If it weren't for these unreliable pig teammates, they would still be entrenched in the land of the two provinces, sitting and watching the situation on the mainland.

The annoying Giant Foot Centipede not only brought them a strong enemy, but also made them lose two Sacred Domain powerhouses.

Now this pit cargo teammate actually went one step further, and ran directly to the location of the geocentric passage with the enemy, obviously not wanting to leave them behind.

"Your Majesty, the news came from the captured centipede general.

To ensure accuracy, we interrogated several centipede generals at the same time, and they all got similar answers.

According to their account, on that day, the two clans gathered nine Sacred Domain powerhouses and two hundred eighth-order powerhouses to besiege Hudson, and as a result, they were ambushed by the enemy.

The powerhouses of the Nine Sacred Domains directly killed five people, and the eighth-order powerhouses who participated in the battle also suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the war situation, the Giantfoot Centipede has now suffered heavy losses and has no ability to continue to compete for the continent.

At this time, they chose to rush to the entrance to the center of the earth, probably because they wanted to return to the inner world through the road and no longer participate in the continental strife! ”

Marshal Kante's answer made the expressions of the demon crocodiles change greatly.

The Giantfoot Citede was frightened by the enemy and did not dare to continue to be the enemy of the Terrans, which suddenly put them in an embarrassing situation.

As the opponent of the Inner World, the comprehensive strength of the two races is about the same.

The Giantfoot Centipede was in shambles, and if they faced Hudson's army, they would probably end up no better.

What's more, this is the home of the Terrans after all, and I don't know how many reinforcements there will be in the future. The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.

In fact, Marshal Kante was not very convinced of the results of the interrogation.

The enemy was just two Sacred Domain powerhouses in ambush, and he killed the five Sacred Domain powerhouses, which was too exaggerated.

In order to increase the authenticity, the number of strong enemies was simply hidden.

Anyway, they didn't see it with their own eyes, it was just the news obtained from the interrogation of the centipede general, and it was normal for the information to be incomplete.

"Is it the reinforcements sent by the Five Nations Alliance, or the reinforcements sent by the Terran Alliance?"

The Demon Crocodile King asked with concern.

In recent days, they have not been in vain, and they have also received a lot of useful information from the mouths of the captured Terran nobles.

The Five Nations Alliance, the Terran Alliance...... These people are well-known political groups, and they have some understanding.

The situation on the battlefield has deteriorated, and the Kingdom of Hesse will not be able to hold back, and will definitely ask for help from the alliance above.

For the Demon Crocodile Clan, both the Five Nations Alliance and the Terran Alliance are a behemoth.

Even the Kingdom of Hesse, which was rubbed by them, was able to beat them with its comprehensive national strength.

If it weren't for the Hesses fighting on multiple fronts, it is estimated that they would have been severely beaten by society at the first moment of the invasion.

"It's not certain yet!

However, regardless of where the enemy's reinforcements came from, it was now certain that there was no shortage of strong men in the great army led by Hudson.

In the realm of the peak powerhouse, we will most likely lose the upper hand.

If possible, the remaining four Sacred Domain powerhouses of the Giant Foot Centipede must be fought over. ”

Marshal Kante said helplessly.

Knowing that the situation was deteriorating so quickly, they should not have inked in the province of Parma.

If you hadn't wasted time in front of you and united the forces of the two clans to fight the enemy in a decisive battle, the current situation would be completely different.

The chagrin did not last long, and Marshal Kante quickly recovered.

As a commander who has been through a hundred battles, he still has this ability to resist pressure.

"These damn stinky centipedes!

In the inner world, they oppose us, and when they get to the surface world, they still cause us trouble, which is to kill our rhythm.

Your Majesty, you must not spare them easily this time!

I propose to reorganize all the remnants of the Giantfoot Centipede, directly consume it on the battlefield as cannon fodder, and turn around and directly send troops to destroy the Centipede Kingdom......"

Prime Minister Susiloh said through gritted teeth.

Originally, the hatred between the two races was a mess, but now the old grudges have not been settled and new hatreds have been added, who can bear it.

It seems that the words are angry, but they are the voices of many demon crocodiles present.

"The account of the Giantfoot Centipede, we will settle accounts with them in the future, and the most critical thing at the moment is the Geocentric Passage!

In any case, the geocentric passage must not fall into the hands of the Terrans, otherwise we will be reduced to lost dogs.

The remaining troops are limited, it is difficult to block the enemy's troops, and the centipedes are unreliable, so they must end the war here as soon as possible and return to help.

Marshal Kante, I would like to hear your thoughts. ”

Hearing the Crocodile King's questioning full of political art, Marshal Kanter was speechless.

The hint is so obvious, even if he has a different idea, he can't say it!

"Your Majesty, the battle in the province of Palma has come to an end, and it is expected that the battle will be ended tonight, and the army will be able to return tomorrow.

It's just that the Giantfoot Ccentipede was defeated this time, in addition to their own weak strength, the enemy's cavalry also played an important role.

We lacked experience in fighting large groups of cavalry, and it was easy for us to suffer heavy losses if we ventured into a confrontation with the enemy's cavalry.

If possible, it's best to be able to communicate with the Stone Folk and help us in this regard. ”

It's better to lose face than to lose your life, Marshal Kante is not a diehard, and after realizing the power of the cavalry, he naturally won't carry it to death.

As for whether the Stone People would help, he wasn't worried at all. The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, at least one or two can be used.

The current Demon Crocodile Clan is one of the chess pieces used by the Stone Man Clan to cause chaos to the human race.

They will not be abandoned until they are drained of their use value.

"On the Stone Clan's side, I'll coordinate with them.

The battle in the province of Palma must end tonight, and tomorrow the army will be marched back to the center of the earth.

At the same time, an order was given to the troops guarding the passage to the center of the earth, forbidding them to let the giant foot centipede pass.

If a centipede dares to force its way through, it will be killed! ”

Having received a definite answer, the Demon Crocodile King decisively ordered.

……

City of Parma.

As the last isolated city in the province of Parma, they are under too much pressure. The outer city has long since fallen, and the inner city is now crumbling.

Especially since yesterday, the enemy army has launched a fierce attack on the city like crazy.

The equipment used to defend the city has long been depleted, and the magic crystal cannon has become a squib, replaced by a makeshift trebuchet.

Fortunately, most of the buildings in the city of Palma are made of stones, and the stones removed from the walls are natural defense weapons.

The houses in the city were also demolished, and in order to defend the city, the Duke of Ernst even personally ordered the demolition of his own governor's palace.

If you continue to fight like this, it is estimated that it will become a blank field.

The morale of the army did not collapse, because everyone saw the tragedy of the fall of the outer city and understood that if they wanted to survive, they could only fight the enemy to the end.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I just received news that the coalition army broke the centipede army in the province of Pofil, killing more than 100,000 enemy troops, including five Sanctuary powerhouses.

The enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack, probably knowing that our reinforcements were coming!

In terms of distance, we only need to hold out for another five days and the situation will be reversed. ”

The more Viscount Carman spoke, the lower his voice became.

After suffering for so long, I finally saw a ray of light.

Five days seems to be a short time, but it is an incomparably long time for the defenders.

With the current situation in the city, it is extremely difficult to insist on five days, even if it is only two days or one day.

"Inform the whole army of this good news and tell everyone that reinforcements will come soon, but don't say the specific time, and the specific battle record should be revised.

Let's just say that the coalition forces annihilated the main force of the Giantfoot Centipede in the province of Pofil, and killed 400,000 enemy troops, including the Centipede King and all their Sanctuary powerhouses! ”

Duke Ernst, the Governor-General, said with a bitter expression.

He didn't want to do anything like that if he could. But now it is expedient, and we can only exaggerate the achievements to inspire people.

Anyway, Hudson has a lot of perverted records, and some people will believe it if he exaggerates it. If he were replaced by an unknown general, he would not be able to exaggerate his achievements.

As long as you survive this catastrophe, it doesn't matter if you are a goof in the future.

The good news they received was delayed, and the follow-up coalition forces would definitely continue to pursue the enemy army, and the giant foot centipede was basically finished.

Counting the records of a major battle itself has to add up the sporadic records, and it will not be much worse than the cowhide he blows out.

"Lord Governor, the enemy is desperate to take the city, and most of us will not hold out until reinforcements arrive.

You are in a noble position, there is no need to ......"

Without waiting for Viscount Carman to finish speaking, Duke Ernst instantly changed his face and said:

"Shut up!

These are not the words you should say.

There is only Ernst who died in battle in this world, and there is no Ernst who abandoned his people and fled for his life alone!

Alright, go down and deliver the order! ”

The arrogance he said, but the trembling of his body still betrayed his inner turmoil.

To be able to live, no one wants to die, and the Duke of Ernst is no exception.

But he has more important things to protect than his life.

When it comes to the responsibility of defending the territory, the Kingdom of Hesse is not as strict as the Kingdom of Alpha, but it is also not much lighter.

Fighting until the last moment to break out, it seems that the past can be explained, but politically it is inevitable to be criticized.

In normal times, these noises are nothing. At a critical time like this, it can be bad.

The fall of the city of Palma marked the end of the family's rule in the province of Palma.

In the future, the kingdom's army will fight back to recover the lost territory, and whether they can restore the fiefdom or not, political factors account for ninety percent.

At such a critical moment, any stain is fatal.

Compared with being forced to flee for his life, it is obvious that he died heroically on the battlefield, and he can get more political points.

The kingdom may curtail or even deprive a breakthrough nobleman of his fiefdom, but it will never touch the fief of a blood-spilled nobleman.

In a sense, the city of Parma could not be defended, and the more heroic he died, the richer the political rewards for the family behind him.

The family members were transferred to the royal capital early, and the elite children of the clan were also transferred out one after another by him with excuses.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the knight's spear, Duke Ernst glanced at the last ancestral house, and commanded the old man behind him.

"Uncle Daoud, I'm tired and need to stop and rest, so I'll leave the family affairs to you.

After the city is broken, you break through with your family's private army and leave, and assist Mdeja to inherit the family business and continue the glory of your ancestors! ”

The decision was made, and the Duke of Ernst was a lot more relaxed.

Recalling his naughty childhood mischief, it was his happiest time.

After inheriting the family business, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but he can no longer find that innocent happiness.

"Ernst, you can choose to cheat to death!

In the midst of the chaos, arrange a corpse at random, and the enemy does not know you, and the kingdom has no way to verify the authenticity.

As long as you don't show up later, for the sake of political propaganda, the kingdom will also admit that you died in battle. ”

Daoud opened his mouth to persuade.

The nephew in front of him can't be regarded as outstanding, but his overall performance is also remarkable.

In the more than ten years he has been in charge of the family, there has never been a major problem, and the family foundation has developed a little in his hands.

Unfortunately, he was not lucky enough to catch up with the tragic invasion of the geocentric race, and his own family became the main battlefield at the beginning.

"Uncle Daoud, this kind of thing is not so easy to fool, we are not prepared for it.

Temporary arrangements for fraudulent death will inevitably leave loopholes. If you are not careful, you are burying mines for the family.

Even if the upper echelons of the upper kingdom are forced to admit it due to political needs, they will make things difficult for the family in other places in the future.

With our strength, we can't stand the toss at all! ”

The premise of Li Daitao's stiffness was that he had to be fully prepared, and he had never thought that Parma City would fall before that.

Realizing that the situation is not good, it is too late. Countless pairs of eyes from the outside world stared at him, and there was no way to play tricks to death.

The cold wind was howling, and the Duke of Ernst took up the knight's spear and went to the head of the city, and he had a hunch that it would not be peaceful tonight.

……

"Launch a general attack!"

With Marshal Kante's order, countless magic crystal cannons launched a loud rumbling sound, and the demon crocodile soldiers launched a charge towards the city.

The city defense magic array had been broken a day earlier, and there were many gaps in the city wall, and now the defenders could only block the enemy's pace with their flesh and blood.

"Trebuchet, put!"

The officer defending the city ordered indifferently.

After many days of fighting, they have long been numb to life and death. The good news just announced can only stimulate everyone's last glimmer of desire to survive.

A subversive scene emerged.

The more advanced Terran defenders are using trebuchets, and the army of crocodiles in the Tribal era has more advanced magic crystal cannons.

The scene was slightly comical, but it was not felt by either of the warring parties.

Standing on the city wall, this time the Duke of Ernst did not retreat, and picked up a demon crocodile with a knight's spear.

The generals defending the city did not come out to stop them, and the battle was going on so far, and the defenders had already run out of oil and lamps, and they were only hung with their last breath.

Although they knew that reinforcements were coming, everyone knew better that if they couldn't hold it tonight, everything would be in vain.

As the battle continued, the blood stained Ernst's body red, and at this moment no one could recognize him as the governor.

The walls soon became useless, and the defenders were forced to retreat. A large number of houses were demolished, and street fighting could not be carried out.

Shouts of killing were mixed with screams, and the two armies fought for the last time in the narrow inner city.

One soldier fell, and a new one was immediately replaced.

As the battle continued, the space of the defenders became smaller and smaller, and the number of soldiers who could fight became smaller and smaller.

Mixed in with the remnants of the soldiers, Ernst was inconspicuous, like an ordinary soldier.

At this moment, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners, and everyone is fighting the final battle for the hegemony of the human race.

The first rays of dawn shone into the city......
