Chapter 1067 Preparing to dig a pit
But the danger still exists, and the demon army seems to have made a lot of noise, chasing after the ass all the time.
But it's normal to think about it, they have been beaten by Emperor Shitian's undead tsunami these days, and dozens of high-level demon lords' nests have been wiped out, not only have the troops suffered heavy losses, but even more than 10 high-level demon lords have been directly killed.
In such a short period of time, such a heavy loss can be called unprecedented on this continent.
Especially in the hundreds of years after the demon side took the initiative, it has always been the demon side that has pressed the Heavenly God Academy to beat, and almost every battle must be won, even if there are occasional small defeats, it is only the loss of some troops or legendary masters, and the high-level demon lords of the sage level have almost never lost.
But now it's a good thing, Emperor Shi Tian killed more than 10 of them in one go, which is simply a slap in the face of all the demon high-level!
So now that they finally found an opportunity to defeat the abominable army of the undead, Emperor Shi Tian, they naturally won't let it go easily, and they must be chasing with their lives.
Emperor Shi Tian didn't have any good way, he could only temporarily let the troops withdraw as soon as possible, fortunately, the crack was wide enough, and it was high enough to allow the troops to retreat from the ground and the sky in a three-dimensional way, and the speed of retreat was really not slow, at least not to lose too many follow-up troops.
Of course, due to the large number of troops, and the distance between the dimensional rift and the enemy's lair is also thousands of miles, it is not something that can be done in a short time if you want to completely evacuate.
And at this time, Princess Lionheart and other front-line commanders also began to communicate with Emperor Shi Tian remotely, and everyone met in a virtual conference room.
As soon as she came up, Princess Lionheart, who was quite unwilling to admit defeat, frowned and asked: "Obviously, you can have the strength to fight, and maybe, you can easily stir up this big guy, but why do you retreat so simply? This is very different from the domineering Emperor Shi Tian who swept the world I know?"
"Cut!" Emperor Shi Tian directly pursed his lips with disdain and said: "I could sweep the world at the beginning, it was because I had an absolute advantage in my hands, and naturally I was not afraid of all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and directly bulldozed everything." β
"But now we have a great advantage on the battlefield?" Princess Lionheart frowned and said: "Don't look at the front line has lost a lot, but in fact, we still have more troops behind us who have not driven over, and if we really want to fight to the end, our chances of winning are at least seven or eight percent!"
"Hmph!" Emperor Shi Tian did say in a cold voice: "You, you really deserve to be a front-line commander, in terms of frontal battlefield fighting, you may be unbeatable, even I am willing to bow to the advantage, but if you want to talk about the overall situation, you will be slightly worse!"
"What's the big picture?" asked Princess Lionheart, unconvinced.
"Haven't you seen it yet?" Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile: "With the high-level demon lord of this place, not only can't he take out so many high-level troops, but it is also impossible to come up with such an ace super giant god soldier. So obviously, there's a lot of support behind him. β
"Of course I can see this, but even if there is support, are we afraid?" Princess Lionheart said with a frown: "Our army of the Sea of Skeletons is enough to overwhelm at least three times as many enemy troops, not to mention that we also have a regular army armed with alchemical weapons, as well as a corps of silicon-based creatures, and the hidden hole card, the army of ice beasts." With so many hole cards in hand, no matter how you look at it, we have an absolute advantage, 8 percent can kill all the opponents!"
"Yes, yes, even if they increase their troops several times, we can eat them. β
"Maybe the losses will be greater, but in comparison, it is really demoralizing to flee without a fight like this!
After listening to their words, Emperor Shi Tian directly rolled his eyes, and then sneered: "Why do you think that other people's reinforcements are not as strong as ours? It seems that after so many victories, you guys are about to drift away and can't find the north! Do you need me to remind you again? The number of Abyss Demon's army is endless, God knows how many powerful existences are still behind this high-level demon lord, what if people are only showing weakness to the enemy now?" What if they have the backing of an evil god behind them and can mobilize 10 times more troops than us? Have you all considered this?"
"This~" After Princess Lionheart and the others heard this, they seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water on their heads, and they all calmed down immediately, and then she thought about it carefully, frowned and said: "Oh, if you say that, it seems to really make sense? We fought too smoothly a few days ago, causing heavy casualties to the demon army, they must regard them as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, this time it is obviously a trap, it can be seen that they are already waiting for us to be fooled!"
"That's right, the demon army did set a trap here. A guy next to him frowned and said, "Although the combat effectiveness they are showing now does not have an overwhelming advantage over us, but with the cunning and treacherous of the demons, you really have to guard against them, maybe this is another trap." β
"Although our flying castle has not yet been exposed, with our financial resources, outsiders can also guess the combat power of this battle fortress out of thin air, which should almost be able to withstand a super giant divine soldier. Princess Lionheart then guessed: "If the other party has this information, then they only released a super giant god soldier, which is obviously a bit of a fishing." β
"That's right, if I knew that the enemy had a powerful flying castle, I would definitely dispatch at least three super giant divine weapons to be sure that I would be able to suppress the other party in terms of strength, which would be completely destroyed by the other party. This guy of theirs immediately said at this time: "Even the things that I can think of, the high-ranking commander of the demon army can't think of it. β
"Yes, although the demon clan is cruel and despicable, but I have to admit that they are very cunning and treacherous, and they are definitely a highly intelligent breed. Especially those high-level demon lords, they have fought hundreds or even thousands of years of battles here, so they should never make such a low-level mistake, if it is really such a mistake, it is likely to be a decoy and want to deceive us. When Princess Lionheart said this, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Could it be that these guys want to fish, and the purpose is to take the opportunity to destroy our flying castle?"
"That's pretty much what it should look like. Emperor Shi Tian sneered and said: "It's just that these guys are a little too naΓ―ve, thinking that they can fool me by throwing out a super giant divine weapon casually, hum, it's really ridiculous." β
When Emperor Shi Tian said this, Princess Lionheart and the others all had red clouds on their faces, obviously a little ashamed.
If it weren't for Emperor Shi Tian to wake them up, Princess Lionheart and the others might really be fooled, if they really drove the flying castle over according to their plan, then maybe the other party would jump out of several super giant gods, and with the joint efforts, they could definitely beat the castle that had no way to fly on the battlefield into ruins on the spot.
And the flying castle is the foundation of a student of the Heavenly God Academy, and it can even be said to be a status symbol, once lost, not only will the financial and military resources be lost, but the most important thing is that this is basically equivalent to losing the qualification to continue studying in the Heavenly God Academy.
With the lot of trouble caused by Emperor Shi Tian, if this guy didn't have the protection of the Heavenly God Academy, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to live for three days, and I am afraid he would have to be caught by those fathers-in-law who hated him to the core, and then tortured in various ways.
At this time, Princess Lionheart quickly changed the topic and asked, "Then what do we do now?"
"The plan is the plan!" Emperor Shi Tian directly sneered disdainfully: "They dare to dig a pit for me, then I will dig a pit for them, but I want to see who can pit whom!"
"What do you mean?" asked Princess Lionheart, puzzled.
"Retreat as soon as possible, and you'll know when the time comes. Emperor Shi Tian said confidently.
"Yes!" Princess Lionheart immediately agreed, and then stopped talking nonsense, and began to retreat without knowing it.
Because of the backbone, Princess Lionheart regained the demeanor of the strongest commander on the front line this time, and began to adjust the deployment in the process of retreating, keeping all the troops in order.
In this way, not only is the retreating march much faster, but the most important thing is that Princess Lionheart also has the kung fu to create a lot of trouble for the pursuers.
There are those troops flying in the air, although they cannot fly above the heads of others to drop bombs, but they can take the opportunity to drop some delayed explosives in their own rear formation.
Faced with the large number of bombs thrown by millions of aerial flying troops, the demon army was also a little speechless at that time.
Blind pursuit is obviously unlikely, because once these explosives explode in the pursuers, they will certainly cause heavy losses.
Of course, once or twice, people may not care, but Emperor Shi Tian's flying troops are so large, and the time-delay explosives are almost full of inventory, if this blows up wave after wave, even a high-level demon lord can't bear such a heavy loss at all.
So in desperation, they can only move forward while cleaning up.
And the way to clean up is to detonate these explosives with long-range attacks, these guys are not small anyway, and they are easy to hit at a slightly distance.
It's just that in this way, the safety of the troops is guaranteed, but the speed of the aircraft has dropped a lot all at once.
Dense explosives can't be detonated casually, even if they are detonated one by one, it will take time!
