Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Silver Wolf King
At the command of the main battlefield in the north at night, Commander Wu and Li Xuanyi looked at the battle report of the southern battlefield in their hands, and sighed slightly in their hearts.
"There are no immortals in war, but their deaths are really tragic."
"Yes, it will be a success. If I had a choice, I would rather not fight this war than see those lovely young lads fall under the claws of the orcs. ”
"The order of the alliance military headquarters is: continue to fight forward tomorrow, and take control of the Taihang Mountains at all costs."
"I hope so!"
Li Xuanyi walked out of the headquarters, looked at the vague mountain peak 200 kilometers to the south, and prayed silently in his heart, praying that he could go there smoothly.
The next day, the battle began punctually at dawn.
The battle situation on the southern battlefield was still the same as on the first day, and the alliance forces continued to advance along yesterday's battlefield, also encountering the frantic resistance of countless low-level orcs. When the horn sounded in the evening, the alliance troops withdrew from the Taihang Mountains again with more than 500 corpses of their own compatriots and returned to the headquarters camp at the foot of the mountain.
The warriors did not dare to stay overnight in the territory of the beasts that had been occupied, and those endless low-level poisonous insects of the beasts would gnaw all the humans stranded on the mountain like demons, which was a profound lesson that the alliance soldiers exchanged for nearly 1,000 lives.
Commander Zhang of the Lunan Military Region, who was in charge of the southern battlefield, did not dare to order the remains of these martyrs to be brought back, so he could only order them to be cremated on the spot, put the ashes in place, record the number, and wait for the end of the war to be brought back for burial.
————————
In the main battlefield in the north, the 80,000 elite troops of the alliance adopted the tactical arrangement of the first day, fought steadily and steadily, and will continue to move forward. Towards the end of the evening, an orc army composed of more than 2,000 ironback wolves sneaked up on the alliance troops, these ironback wolves are huge, ordinary ironback wolves have a body of 1.5 meters long, the hair on the body is long and hard, especially the hair on the back, like an inverted steel needle, can easily pierce the body of the alliance warrior.
The leader of this wolf army is actually a mutated iron-backed wolf king with silver hair and a body length of 2.5 meters, and there are also 5 wolf king guards who are about the same size as the wolf king, which are obviously congenital-level fierce beasts.
The sneak attack of the wolf clan caused the sacrifice of more than 300 alliance fighters, not counting the serious injuries. If it weren't for Li Xuanyi and the people of the Xuan War Department to fight to the death, the number of dead and wounded might have been even more.
Li Xuanyi's innate 6-layer cultivation faced the Silver Wolf King alone, he exploded his true qi to the extreme, and the sharp alloy war knife in his hand struck with all his might, and he was only cutting off a dozen silver hairs from the Silver Wolf King, which made Li Xuanyi's heart tense.
"Zhong Liang, Xu Da, quickly lead someone to kill the wolf king's guards, and I will drag the silver wolf king."
The wolf clan is naturally good at running, speed is their biggest advantage, although the silver wolf king has just advanced, it has not completely completed the evolution, but has just entered the innate high-level cultivation, but its speed is super fast, and the defense of a body of silver hair is even stronger, even if Li Xuanyi can occasionally slash it one or two times, it is still alive and jumping around the battlefield, and from time to time sneak attack the warriors of the alliance.
"All the ordinary fighters stepped back."
The light machine-gun equipped by the Alliance warriors simply can't keep up with the speed of the Silver Wolf King and the Wolf King's guards, even if those ordinary mutant ironback wolves are hit by them, they are only slightly injured, and they still continue to fight fiercely when they get up, unless several people gather fire to an ironback wolf at the same time, they can kill it.
At this time, the main battlefield in the north has been divided into three battlefields: two large and one small.
More than 70,000 warriors of the alliance united with more than 600 Tongmai realm martial artists of the Xuan War Department, and used positional warfare, relying on numerical superiority and firepower network, to carry thousands of ordinary iron-backed wolves to the death.
Zhong Liang and Xu Da, with more than 80 innate masters of the Xuan War Department, were going all out to surround and kill the five fierce wolf king guards. The Wolf King's guards are as big as the Silver Wolf King, and their cultivation is not lower than that of the Silver Wolf King, they all have an innate 4-layer cultivation, but their hair is dark gray like an ordinary ironback wolf.
The battle situation on this battlefield is the most dangerous, except for Xu Da and Zhong Liang, who can carry the full force of the wolf king's guards, if the others are hit head-on by the wolf king's guards, they will be seriously injured if they don't die. But if only Xu Da and Zhong Liang are relied on, without the restraint of others, they are not the opponents of the 5 wolf king guards at all. The alloy war knife of the unified system of the Xuan War Department was used in the hands of the cultivators of the 2nd and 3rd layers of the innate army, and it could only leave a shallow wound on the body of the wolf king's guards, and it could only make them bleed a little.
————————
Li Xuanyi and the Silver Wolf King fought alone, he obviously had a clear advantage, but he couldn't kill or even seriously injure the Silver Wolf King.
Looking at the tragedy of the other two battlefields, Li Xuanyi became more and more anxious, and finally his heart was ruthless, facing the silver wolf claws rushing in his face, he did not dodge or dodge, and the alloy war knife in his hand stabbed fiercely into the lower abdomen of the Silver Wolf King with a strong true qi.
Although its sharp wolf claws left several shocking wounds on Li Xuanyi's body, its lower abdomen was also pierced by Li Xuanyi's full strength, and a large amount of wolf blood spilled out.
Li Xuan, who was seriously injured and flew out, shouted loudly, regardless of his tragic injury, his body forcibly changed direction in mid-air and flew towards Zhong Liang.
"Stop them!"
Zhong Liang and the others understood, completely ignoring the deadly attacks of the 5 wolf king guards, and dozens of people surrounded them with their bodies.
Li Xuanyi's alloy war knife slammed into one of the wolf king guards with an indomitable killing intent, instantly shattering its heart, and then turned around sharply and slashed at the abdomen of the other wolf king guard with all his strength, almost cutting this wolf king guard in two. Although the defense of the wolf king's guards was strong, it was still not as good as the silver hair of the silver wolf king.
Li Xuanyi endured his injuries and instantly slashed two wolf king guards, so that the silver wolf king who was seriously injured and retreated finally gave the order to retreat, and a high wolf howl sounded behind the wolves, and the wolves who were fighting with the alliance soldiers quickly abandoned their opponents and broke through in the direction where the silver wolf king disappeared.
Zhong Liang and Xu Da were seriously injured before they killed the last wolf king guard with difficulty.
————————
Li Xuanyi did not order to continue to chase and kill the wolves, as the high combat power of the Xuanzhan Department, he, Zhong Liang, and Xu Da were all seriously injured, among which Xu Da was injured Finally, a comminuted fracture of one right hand, there was only a layer of skin left, and it had been carried down for treatment, even if it could be cured, his right hand would not be able to hold a knife, and his combat power would definitely be greatly reduced.
Li Xuanyi and Zhong Liang were slightly better, although the wound of the external wound looked terrifying, but it did not hurt the tibia, after the doctor treated the wounds for the two of them, the two of them were wrapped in gauze, and their eyes were red and stood on the battlefield, silently watching the soldiers find out the remains of their compatriots to identify the rank.
In this battle, because of the sneak attack of the wolf clan, the alliance and the Xuan War Department all suffered heavy casualties.
The alliance has more than 70,000 fighters, 2,180 killed in battle, 1,526 seriously wounded, and countless minor injuries.
Of the 85 congenital masters of the Xuan War Department, 5 people were killed in battle and 13 people were seriously injured [including 3 people from Li Xuanyi].
More than 2,100 incomplete bodies were cremated on the battlefield in several large pits, and the soldiers spontaneously lined up in long rows, one by one, came over to salute and bid farewell to the martyrs!
"Can this war continue?"
At this moment, this idea appeared in the hearts of every soldier who participated in this war.
After only two days of war, the casualties were so heavy, only more than 50 kilometers forward, and there were still 150 kilometers away from the beast clan Tianchi Holy Land in the center of Taihang Mountain, and the main fierce beasts of Tianchi Holy Land had not yet made a move, and the further they went, the war would only get more and more difficult.
Today, I just encountered one of the wolf clans among the many beast clans in Taihang Mountain, and the casualties were so heavy, and the number of iron-backed wolves killed was less than 600, what casualty ratio was this? And even the Silver Wolf King escaped without a hitch, which was not a victory at all, but a fiasco.
Such a fiasco was unacceptable to Commander Wu of the Kyoto Military Region, and even more unacceptable to Li Xuanyi of the Xuan War Department.
"There is no order from the Alliance Military Department, how can you say it?"
Li Xuan asked expressionlessly.
"The threat of the Taihang Mountains to Kyoto City is too great, and it must be taken at all costs!"
Commander Wu knew that it was impossible for the big men of the alliance to stop the war against the Taihang Mountains because of the casualty figures this time. In the eyes of those people, the retreat of the wolf clan is a victory.
As for the casualty figures...... Those people probably didn't care at all, did they?
If the Taihang Mountains can be taken in the end, even if all 100,000 people are wiped out, the alliance will not feel distressed.
"What a fuck you!"
Li Xuan scolded bitterly and walked silently towards the battlefield.
On the third day, the battle continued as usual, with the main battlefield in the north.
After 500 artillery pieces carpet bombarded the Taihang Mountains again, the main attacking force launched another attack on the beasts and continued to advance towards the center.
At the beginning of the battle, the beasts still appeared in those countless cannon fodder troops, giant ants, poisonous snakes, poisonous bees, mice, etc., but today is different from the previous two days, poisonous bees and giant ant colonies, there are congenital-level fierce beasts, although they are only the early level of congenital, but the victory is in the number, there are more than 10 poisonous bee guards with a light body length of 20 centimeters, and there are as many as hundreds of mutant knife ants with a body length of 20 centimeters.
The Queen Bee and the Poison Bee Guards are good enough to say that although their flight speed is fast, their most lethal Poison Tail Needle can only shoot venom once a day, and the threat is not particularly great for the innate masters of the Xuan War Department.
But the fiery red sword ant is very deadly for the warriors of the Alliance. Their evolved exaggerated palate has a powerful bite that can easily cut off the wrists and ankles of the warriors, not to mention that their paws are highly poisonous.
