It was dark, the enemy had temporarily retreated, and the corpses outside Baishi City were floating all over the ground, piling up like a mountain, and several demonic beasts with severed limbs were rolling and writhing on the ground, screaming in pain.

In White Rock City, the morale of the soldiers was low, and there was hardly anyone in the entire camp to speak, they were so tired that they could fall asleep as soon as they sat down. The military exploits and war gains that they usually fantasize about are gone at this moment, and the only hope is that this moment of tranquility can be extended indefinitely, so that they have more time to rest. But this is impossible, although the enemy retreated temporarily, they knew that the enemy's retreat this time was only a setback in the attack, and it would not be long before it would come back again, and it would not give the soldiers in the city much respite.

Compared to the old army stationed in White Rock City, the new army seemed slightly better, at least they were not as tired and wounded as the old army. But even if it was a little better, it was not much better, and they were just as tired and didn't want to talk. The army is overwhelmed, and the shadow of death weighs on everyone's heart.

The soldier could rest against the foot of the room, but Jodah couldn't, he had already rested during the day, and had slept for more than two hours, so how could he go to sleep again in this situation?

After inspecting the wounded, he saw Alain, whose arm was wrapped in bandages, come over and asked, "How is the situation?"

"The casualties were very large, more than 6,000 people died, nearly 700 were seriously injured, the hospital was completely busy, and many of the medical staff did not sleep, they were very tired," Alan said. Coupled with the wounded before, there are currently less than 9,000 soldiers who can fight, and counting the 4,000 cavalry who came to the rescue, there are only more than 2,400 now, counting more than 11,000 people, and a considerable part of them are wounded. ”

Jodah was silent.

Alain added: "There were four deserters just now. ”

"What about people?"

"Got it. Alan said: "According to military law, they have been killed, and their direct officers have also been punished." ”

"Well......" Jodah said, "Let's go, go to the conference room." ”

A few kilometers away from White Rock City, outside the old camp that the enemy had temporarily abandoned a few days earlier, military tents covered the entire wilderness. In a large tent, Gunnis pointed at Alan and scolded: "What's the matter with you, Weishenme didn't stop the enemy assault cavalry from escaping in time?"

There were only two people in the tent, Alan and Gunnis.

Allen clenched his fists with anger on his face: "At that time, the enemy was suddenly killed, and the rear army was in chaos. I also didn't chase after you to protect your safety, sir. ”

Gunnis said: "The enemy is only a few thousand people, I need you to protect him? Do you know that it is the enemy's main general, if we can stop him and catch him, now White Rock City is already ours." ”

Alan said angrily, "If you want to say that, I have nothing to say." ”

Gunnis said, "Do you have nothing to say, or is there anything you can't say?"

"What do you mean?"

The soldiers outside the tent suddenly shouted, "General Grefa." ”

Gunnis stared at Alan, "You, get out." ”

Alan snorted and went out angrily.

Grefa lifted the curtain and entered the tent and asked, "What's the matter, General Allen is so angry, you have an argument?"

The tent is equipped with a soundproof magic array, and the sound from the outside cannot be heard.

"Hmph, that guy ......"

Grefa wears a purple armor, this set of armor is a full set of 'Purple Star' battle armor forged for him by the Holy Bektian Empire to reward the 'Purple Star Warlord'. Including the 'Purple Star Battle Helmet', 'Purple Star Battle Armor', 'Purple Star Battle Boots', 'Purple Star Ribbon' and 'Purple Star Gauntlet', each of which can be called a treasure, plus the 'Golden Breaking Sword', a sharp weapon that has been followed for many years in the hand. Although his own combat strength is not particularly strong, it is also very famous in the army to have this kind of honor.

Grefa took off his helmet and put it aside, and said, "I just discussed the countermeasures with the generals in the army, and they proposed a battle plan, you can take a look." ”

"Hmm. ”

Outside the tent, Alan walked between the camps, cursing incessantly: "Damn Guness, it's clear that you're deliberately making trouble for me." But because I refused to tell him who was in contact with me and who the information was, he did just that!Stealing the credit from me, and now he is scolding me, damn bastard!" He kicked a stone and hit it on the helmet of a soldier who was laughing and chatting, so frightened that the soldier did not dare to speak for a moment.

"Alan. A general came up and laughed, "Angry?"

"Humph!",

"Let's go, go over and talk. The general led Alan to a secluded place, lit a cigarette, handed it to him, and said, "Is it because he was attacked by the enemy army in the evening, and he is looking for trouble with you?"

"What do you say? ”

The general shook his head with a smile: "Everyone can see that he is deliberately making trouble for you." When the war is fought, he arranged you to protect him in front of Zuihou, not to let you make meritorious contributions, and blame you if something goes wrong. Cut, that's obviously his own responsibility, it's not arranged properly, it's too close to the mountain, and it will be ...... by the enemy."

Alan smoked hard and spit out a large smoke ring, so that he felt more comfortable.

The general sighed: "Alas, this is a bad fate, who told us to follow him." To be honest, I'm really not worth it for you, although several of us have been suppressed by him and robbed of credit, but the last time I was able to ambush Edward, it was completely your intelligence, but when I reported it, I only said a few words about your credit, and he talked endlessly about himself, as if he was able to kill Edward. ”

Alan sneered.

The general sighed again and said: "How good it would be if we were in the Eleventh Army, you see that 'Purple Star General' Grefa, the responsibility for the accident is attributed to himself, and the meritorious achievements are attributed to his subordinates, no wonder he is so loved, and the imperial government also awards him again and again." If Guinness was half as good as him, I wouldn't blame him. ”

"Don't say it. Alan threw down the cigarette butt and put it out with his foot: "It's annoying to say." ”

At this time, a big general walked over, his face full of resentment.

"What, you're angry too?"

The big man exhaled angrily: "Look at me, I am covered in wounds, and I didn't have a good fucking word, just say that my attack was unfavorable and I didn't attack Baishi City." Damn, Lao Tzu's sword horn breakthrough beast was killed in battle, and he didn't know how to care. zuihou is leaving, so he pretends to ask me to take care of my injuries, I bah!"

The general snorted, shook his head and said, "Get used to it, he's just that kind of person, selfish, insidious and suspicious." If it weren't for the reputation he had as the 'True Martial Three Cavalry General', do you think he could be the commander of the Eighth Army? Not to mention you, even Boss Allen was scolded just now. ”

"Humph!" the big man threw his axe on the ground, "I said we just had to do it the other way around." ”

Alan and the general were taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong. The big man looked around and whispered, "I mean let's just contact the generals, write a joint letter, and abolish him." ”

The general said cautiously: "This is infighting." ”

The big man said: "Is this our internal strife? We have not been dissatisfied with that guy for a day or two, fighting desperately, and in the end, the big credit for the big fish and big meat is all in him, so he will give us small shrimp, and I don't want to do it anymore." ”

The general thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, this is also an idea. But there has to be a lead in this matter. ”

The big man said, "Of course it's Boss Allen taking the lead." ”

"Me?"

The big man said: "In the Eighth Army, Boss Allen has the highest prestige, if you can get rid of Gness, we unanimously recommend you to be the supreme commander of the Eighth Army." ”

"It can't be, I'm just a major general. ”

The general said: "What is impossible, you should have been promoted to lieutenant general a long time ago." ”

Alan thought for a while and said, "This matter is not enough for just a few of us, and there must be a major general, if she doesn't support it, this matter can't be done." ”

The three of them stood behind the mound and were silent for a long time, and the Zuihou general said, "Let's find an opportunity to find out what she is talking about." ”

White Rock City, in front of the building of the conference room.

At this time, the generals of White Rock City were not in the mood to stay in the room and have any meetings. Jodah sat on the stone steps, looked at the crowd and asked, "Tell me, what advice do you have for the current situation?"

No one spoke, tens of thousands of enemy troops were outside the city, two well-known enemy generals led the army to attack together, there were only more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and there were many battle wounds, who could still think of a good way to retreat from the enemy at this time.

After a long while, someone said: "I think the only way to retreat is to abandon the city, and now we still have a chance to retreat." ”

Jodah looked at the crowd and saw that none of them had spoken much, apparently all of them had this idea in his heart.

The man who spoke continued: "Now we have fewer and fewer men who can fight, and if we fight another battle or two, I am afraid that there will not be even four thousand people who can fight." A few days ago, the Haode defense tower was repaired, and almost all of it was damaged in the past two days. The city wall is badly damaged, although there are mages to repair and solidify it, but the kind of improvised earthen wall can be broken with a light knock, and our 3000 griffin empty cavalry regiment, more than 3/5 of the griffons died in battle. In addition, there is not much food in the city at present, the morale of the soldiers has also dropped to the extreme, and there are deserters, if the defense continues, this phenomenon will only increase. At present, the enemy forces are fighting at the same time on our east and west defense lines, and they can concentrate their superior forces to attack us a little, but every stronghold and pass on our defense line must be defended by troops, which requires sufficient troop resources to ensure it. But at present, domestic reinforcements are delayed, and sooner or later our defense line will be breached, and if this continues, our main army will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, which will be very disadvantageous to us. The best way now is to retreat tactically, and General Ruhr is advised to shrink his forces and wait for reinforcements to arrive. I think General Ruhr would think the same way. ”

The generals almost all agreed when they heard this, and even Jodah nodded slightly, this is indeed the most Haode suggestion at the moment.

Just then, a voice came: "I have a better way." ”
