Despite the absolute superiority of the gnolls in numbers, and the fact that many gnolls joined forces to attack, all ethnic groups felt extremely troubled, and they could not get rid of the fierce siege of the gnolls in a short period of time.

However, in the face of the melee of so many races, the gnolls did not have an overwhelming advantage.

Especially Retosa, who was armed with Lucius to make a giant axe, almost no gnolls could survive the edge of the axe's blade wherever the giant axe passed.

Seeing the invincible Retosa who swept through the siege of his own people with the giant axe in his hand, Hawke's face became extremely solemn, and he wanted to stop Retosa's conflict, but seeing Retosa's fierce posture and the terrible giant axe in his hand, Hawke's face was cloudy, and he couldn't make up his mind.

With Retosa holding a giant axe to open the way, the chances of the rebel tribes fighting out of the encirclement were obviously much greater, and everyone did not dare to fight at all, gathered around Retosa, and quickly withdrew in the direction of the wall.

On the wall, several leaders who were still hesitating, seeing the fierce momentum of Lei Tuosa below, and the warriors of various tribes cooperating with each other, knew that the besieged army still had a chance to withdraw.

Jimpa immediately ordered the cats: "All the archers come up and prepare to cover the retreat of those outside the pass, and let those damned mad dogs taste our strength." ”

After receiving Jimpa's order, the cat-man archers quickly waited for the wall, and all of them pulled their bowstrings to prepare for archery, and it is conceivable that the cat-people will be able to break the group attack of the jackals with one blow in a condescending situation.

After arranging the archers, Gampa said to Hamolet: "Hamoret, you quickly lead the warriors of the pass to guard the gate of the wall, and receive Retosa and them to retreat into the pass. ”

At this time, knowing that the occupation was fleeting, Hamolet naturally did not dare to have any objections, and turned around and went down the wall to gather the warriors of all races in the pass. Rush to the gate of the wall and wait for the arrival of the soldiers who are trying to break through the barrier, and from time to time they will intercept and kill the gnolls who want to break through.

Armed with a great axe, Retosa soon gathered all the surviving rebels into a rather large team and began to clash in the direction of the wall.

Standing outside the encirclement, Hawke saw Retosa's invincible prowess and knew that despite the numerical superiority of his people, there was no way to keep the rebels.

In desperation, Hawke glanced at his severed arm with some reluctance. In the end, he could only let out a long roar to make the gnolls stop attacking, ordered the gnolls to retreat slowly, let the surviving rebels leave, and kept the remaining fighting power of the gnolls, and made a compromise with Retosa.

The retreat of the jackals suddenly reduced the pressure on the rebels, and Bane wanted to lead people to pursue when he saw this, but was stopped by Retosa: "Okay." Don't chase it, let's go back to Guanli first. ”

Hawke, who retreated into the distance, watched the rebels retreat into the makeshift wall, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Raised his back and roared: "Retosa, this time you have the advantage, but next time, you will not be so lucky." ”

Retosa, who is about to enter the pass. Hearing Hawke's roar behind him, he looked back with a giant axe and saw a figure standing on the edge of the fog. Grinned.

After laughing, Retosa replied in a loud voice: "Hawke, your gods have decayed, no matter how hard you try, the final victory will inevitably usher in a new era for ours, the forest, and you and your rotten gods will be a thing of the past." ”

Seeing the smile on Retosa's face clearly, and listening to Retosa's words, Hawke couldn't help but snort coldly, and without any extra words, he led the gnolls to retreat into the thick fog.

Retosa also turned around and walked into the pass, and at the moment when the pass was closed, Retosa finally couldn't support it and staggered to his knees.

Helping Hamolet to stand up, Retosa said with a wry smile: "The group attack of the jackals is really terrifying, the combat effectiveness of all the races in the city in the forest is still there, if there is no reinforced wall, I am afraid that we may not be able to retreat today, even if there is this wall, the next battle will be very difficult." ”

Speaking of this, Retosa couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Norko ordered us to only keep it for ten days, so we really saw the situation in the forest clearly, and knew the gap between us and those tribes in the city in the forest. ”

When Hamolet heard this, he helped Retosa and said as he walked: "Chief, you don't need to be so pessimistic, now that more and more people have joined us, I believe that in the end we will be able to fight the city in the woods." ”

Retosa smiled bitterly and sighed, and said: "Hamoret, things are not as simple as you think, the status of the gnolls in the forest city is very low, but that's it, they are still so strong, and you can also see that the rock monsters are not their opponents, and they are all weak races when they join our race. ”

"The Rock Monsters, that was plotted by the god of the Crimson Castle, otherwise the Gnolls would be the Rock Monsters' opponents? ”

Listening to Hamoret's words, Retosa then said: "Yes, their gods are still there, and they have the help of their gods, and that is the most worrying and frightening thing." ”

Retosa's words made Hamolet speechless, thinking of the previous arrival of the god of the Scarlet Castle, thinking of the irresistible divine might, thinking of the rock monster that had been deprived of its power, Hamoret suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Hamolet asked in a low voice, "Chief, since that god is so powerful, aren't we very dangerous?

Seeing that Hamolet was a little worried and seemed to have risen to retreat, Retosa shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, that god can't leave the Crimson Castle, and with His Excellency Lecius holding him back, he can't attack us without scruples, and if he attacks the rock monsters, I'm afraid it's already the limit." ”

"Is that really the case?" said Retosa and Hamolet as they walked, oblivious to their surroundings and unaware that their conversation had been overheard by some of them.

Jimpa's sudden questioning suddenly woke up Retosa and Hamoret, and they glanced around only to find that the leaders of the various tribes gathered in the pass had already appeared at any time.

Apparently, the chiefs of the tribes had heard the conversation between Retosa and Hamoret, and they had not seen Rusius face to face, although they had seen Rusius confronting the god of the Crimson Castle. However, most people are still worried about the future, especially the god of the Scarlet Castle.

Seeing the leaders of the various clans gathered around, Retosa was stunned at first, but quickly came to his senses again, and said with a smile: "Since you are so afraid, then why do you choose to rebel?"

Retosa's question immediately left everyone speechless, even the Elvis Presley Jimpa, who has always been able to speak well, and he didn't know what words to use to refute?

Seeing that the leaders were silent, Retosa continued: "I remember that Lord Lucius outside the forest said that we must first understand why we are rebelling, and do not think that we are rebelling for him. And don't think he's our savior. ”

As soon as these words came out, the leaders were stunned again.

But before the leaders could speak, Retosa continued: "We rebel for the sake of our own people, and the real savior who can save us is ourselves, only with our courage and blood, can we truly defeat the oppression of the city in the forest, even the gods cannot stop us." ”

Retosa's words made the leaders stunned. The leaders, who were still a little confused, seemed to have found their target in an instant and understood what was the reason for their rebellion?

In the distant Scarlet Castle Hall, Li He stared at the smoke screen in front of him. Looking at the scene above, he frowned and whispered, "Lucius, it looks like you have won this game again?"

As soon as Li He's words fell, Lu Xius's voice immediately echoed in the main hall: "Hehe." Your Excellency Li He, it is you who underestimate the yearning for freedom of the creatures of all races in the forest, and the oppression of you and your descendants. In the end, only a rebellion can be harvested. ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Li He was not annoyed, but said calmly: "Don't be happy too early, this war has just begun, even if you block my attack, but in the end, who will win, it is still not known, my side of the army is stronger than yours." ”

In fact, you should know very well that sometimes the victory or defeat of a war is not directly related to the strength of the troops. ”

"Hmph......" Hearing this, Li He snorted coldly, waved his hand to shake away the smoke screen in front of him, and said with some annoyance: "Lucius, don't be complacent, I know that your mechanical devices are very powerful, and with magic, they can fight against me, but don't forget the gap between you and me, it is not something that can be made up by external forces." ”

Seeing that Li He was already angry, Lucius immediately retracted the spirit transmitted with the help of the giant axe in Caroline's hand, stumbled and sat in the carriage of the carriage, holding his chin and muttering to himself: "Hey, that god's temper is really not small. ”

Belute, who was guarding in front of the carriage, heard Lucius talking to himself, and couldn't help but step forward and say, "Lucius, now that the situation is favorable to us, should we take the initiative to attack?"

According to the report from the front of Guò, Beluti already knew about the situation of the Minotaur garrisoning the first checkpoint, and knew that a large number of ethnic groups were on the verge of defection, which made their current strength expand a lot.

Belletti felt that this was the time to take the initiative and take the opportunity to expand the advantage, which would also boost morale, so as to completely subvert the dominance of the city in the forest over the forest.

Lucius naturally understood Berutti's thoughts, but he shook his head and said: "No, now is not the time, wait for Norko and them to enter the city in the forest and find out the specific situation of the city in the forest, and then make plans, taking the initiative now will only expose our shortcomings." ”

"What are our shortcomings? Now that a large number of ethnic groups are defecting, it shows that the rule of the city in the forest is not popular in the forest, and isn't it very beneficial to us?"

Seeing Bellude's sworn appearance, Lucius stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of Belletti's little nose, and said, "Do you think we have an advantage now?" But in our opinion, our current disadvantage is very obvious, that is, the rebels are all the original weak races, even if a large number of races are gathered, but the overall strength is still weaker than those in the city in the forest. ”

Ignoring Beluti's fangs and claws because of the scratching of her nose, Lucius continued to analyze: "If you choose to take the initiative now, I'm afraid that those rebellious races will be terrified, once the war starts, the cowardice in their hearts will be infinitely magnified, and the disadvantages will be completely exposed." ”

"So, now we can't move, let's continue to move slowly according to the original plan, I think that the god of the Scarlet Castle should still be hiding, it's always good to be careful. ”

With that, Lucius got up and walked into the carriage, saying to Beluti as he went, "I'll go and rest, and don't let anyone disturb me." (To be continued......)
