C511 Sunrise City
A huge monster that was dozens of feet tall actually had the ability to use magic to attack.
Thinking about this, Lin Aoxiong hurriedly waved his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Retreat, quick, retreat! This thing can use magic to attack! Everyone retreat at the fastest speed possible!"
However, it was too late.
Even before Lin Aoxiong's shout finished, he saw even more Mammoth s rush up. All of them rushed out with a dark yellow shadow, straight towards the square formation of Guard Legion at the edge of the forest.
"Hualala!" Another series of violent noises rang out, and a group of soldiers fell within each formation.
Staring with a pair of blood-red eyes, Lin Aoxiong jumped on his horse. While running towards the edge of the forest, he continued to shout at the soldiers to retreat as soon as possible.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the ten square formations of Guard Legion finally all rushed out of this forest. Fortunately, first, the Mammoth's body was huge, so even if they used all their strength to attack, their speed would not be too fast. Secondly, this forest, undoubtedly increased the Mammoth's charge resistance, further reducing the charging speed, causing these colossal beings to have to continuously knock down countless of trees at the same time they charged.
After exiting the forest, Lin Aoxiong continued to command the entire Guard Legion, and quickly gathered into a wedge shaped array. He then separated two of the soldiers in the phalanx and continued to fire at the back. The other eight phalanxes spread out their speed and quickly retreated towards the jade mountain at the side.
After an hour, the charge of the Giant Elephant Legion was already spent. Firstly, the physical strength of this kind of monster was limited, and secondly, because of its huge body, it was too cumbersome. After running a distance, the Mammoth could no longer run.
After slowly rushing to the edge of the forest, the Giant Elephant Legion s gradually stopped their forward charge and started to gather once again at the outskirts of the forest.
At this time, the Guard Legion had already ascended the slopes of the Yushan.
Because of his gigantic body and the difficulty in moving, Giant Elephant Legion looked at the mountain slope in front of him, and it was obvious that he could not muster up any strength.
Even so, thousands of soldiers of the Guard Legion had already been left behind on the empty patch of land at the edge of the forest.
At this time, Lin Aoxiong was standing on the hillside of Yushan, looking down at the densely packed soldiers' corpses with a gloomy face. He estimated that he had lost at least 3000 soldiers in this battle.
Lin Aoxiong's eyes flashed with hatred, and said: "I finally know why Nanhan Pass fell so quickly."
At this point, Lin Aoxiong paused, and continued, "There's a mistake in the information. The Giant Elephant Legion of a Level 9 Devil Beast, not only is it Magic Immunity, these huge monsters also have the ability to attack magic."
The deputy general beside him said, "Master, with this, do we not have a chance to turn the tables? Is it impossible for us to fight in this battle? "
Lin Aoxiong took a deep breath and frowned. He thought hard for a while and then asked, "Have the scouts from the southeast come back?"
The assistant general shook his head, and said: "Speaking of strange, the Sixth Squad of the scout camp was the first to set off. Logically speaking, since they are connected to Baluo Empire in the southeast, they should not have any troops with Inca Empire, but the Sixth Squad was stunned for three whole days and did not send back any information."
Hearing that, Lin Aoxiong instinctively felt that something was wrong.
After pausing for a while, Lin Aoxiong continued: "The captain of the sixth squad is Chu Ying. He had served in North Prison Legion for six years and had rich scouting experience. It was impossible for him to send back not a single piece of information for three days in a row. I am afraid. "
At this point, Lin Aoxiong stopped talking.
The deputy general also frowned and said, "Sir, you mean, Chu Ying is not a lucky man?"
Lin Aoxiong sighed again and continued, "I'm afraid of that."
After pausing for a while, Lin Aoxiong looked down the hill and saw Giant Elephant Legion, which had been gathered and ready in place, confronting the Guard Legion on the hillside. He continued: "From the moment I entered Guangnan County, I already felt that something is not right. Logically speaking, the Haize Pass garrison should have sent someone to pick them up first, but after four days had passed, there was actually no news from the Haize Pass garrison at all. Baluo Empire is known for being a water army, even if there is any movement, Haize Pass would not even be enough to send out a messenger. "
Hearing Lin Aoxiong's words, the assistant general faintly guessed the meaning behind Lin Aoxiong's words. His face couldn't help but change and he involuntarily said: "Could it be, Baluo Empire?"
The two of them looked at each other but did not continue.
If Haize Pass were to also fall, Baluo Empire's army could directly penetrate from the southeast and enter the eastern side of Guangnan County, attacking from left and right with Giant Elephant Legion in front of them, thus completing the encirclement of Guard Legion. Once the Baluo Empire armies joined the battle, it was very likely that all of them would be annihilated.
Thinking of this, their hearts were filled with dark clouds.
At this time, Lin Aoxiong saw the Giant Elephant Legion at the bottom of the hill, after a short period of assembling and reorganizing, begin to slowly change direction, and continue moving towards the northeast.
Obviously, the target of the Giant Elephant Legion was still East Jia Village.0
Lin Aoxiong clenched his teeth. His face was full of hatred, but there was nothing he could do. To be honest, even though Guard Legion had already paid the price of three thousand people, it was clear that they were no match for Giant Elephant Legion at all.
If he still rashly attacked at this moment, not only would it be useless, but it would also cause more casualties. After all, the lives of the villagers in Dong Jia Village were their lives, and the lives of his soldiers in Guard Legion were also their lives.
After a few moments of hesitation, Lin Aoxiong finally decided to stay where he was and not attack. After Giant Elephant Legion completely left the flat land, Guard Legion continued to retreat northwards, until they had retreated a safe distance away.
After giving this order, Lin Aoxiong sighed. He raised his head and looked at the sky, not saying anything for a long time.
At this time, the assistant general said hesitantly, "Sir, the battle power of our current Giant Elephant Legion is far greater than that of my own, so a head-on clash has already lost its meaning. There are only two options for us right now. The first is to grit our teeth and use a method of guerrilla warfare and harassment to continuously attack Giant Elephant Legion, but this method can only slow down the speed of Giant Elephant Legion. In the end, we are unable to defeat it. "
Hearing the Lieutenant General's words, Lin Aoxiong said: "With the support of Ye Tian, the Tianyang Legion has been equipped with a total of a hundred thousand fine warhorses.
Speaking up to here, Lin Aoxiong smiled bitterly and continued: "We are all infantry, yet we are all in charge of Mammoth s. You also saw the charge earlier, those Mammoth s are huge, so we can't sustain their running speed, but a short distance charge is still quite acceptable. "If it wasn't for the fact that we were blocked by that forest, our legs wouldn't even be able to keep up with his four legs. How would we be able to run around and harass him?"
After a pause, Lin Aoxiong asked again: "What about the second way?"
The assistant general said, "The second way is naturally to retreat in all directions until we retreat into the Jiangnan County. Then, we can report this to the imperial government for reinforcements."
"Reinforcements? Do you think that even if the other legions come, their Guard Legion performance will be any better than ours? "
At this point, Lin Aoxiong turned around and looked at the assistant general, and continued: "The opponent is a level nine Devil Beast, and at the same time, possesses the ability of magic immunity and attack. If his Guard Legion is lacking, then I presume that the other armies in the Empire would also not be able to do the same."
After a moment of silence, the deputy general spoke again, "What if it's Divine Weapon Camp or something?"
Hearing the Lieutenant General's words, Lin Aoxiong was slightly stunned. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said, "Even if the Emperor is willing, I don't know if Ye Tian is willing to be involved in this mess."
The deputy general then said, "As I see it, Manager Ye and his men are not the kind of people who throw stones when they're down. In the competition with People of Oca, he actually threatened and reprimanded Prince Ivan in front of him. If the Lord is willing to speak, he will definitely lend a helping hand. "
Seeing Lin Aoxiong's hesitant look, the assistant general continued, "Furthermore, the commander in chief of Divine Weapon Camp is the young miss. Even if Ye Tian has some grudges with the lord, he would still give the young miss face. The young miss would never sit by idly and watch her husband face such a difficult situation without even bothering to pay attention to it. "
After contemplating for a bit longer, Lin Aoxiong finally nodded his head. He first looked at the Giant Elephant Legion that had basically left this area, and then said: "Okay, then we will order the troops to continue retreating. After retreating into the Jiangnan County, we will immediately send two letters, one to the capital to request for the Emperor to play and tell him that the Giant Elephant Legion possesses the ability to attack using magic, if the Guard Legion is inferior, we will request for the Divine Weapon Camp to be used immediately to head south."
At this point, Lin Aoxiong paused for a moment, and then continued, "The other is to directly send a message to Liaodong County, informing Ye Tian of the situation here. I request Ye Tian, seeing how the citizens of Southern Wilderness have been wantonly humiliated by the People of Inca, to immediately send troops to reinforce them from the south."
The messenger was ordered to leave.
Lin Aoxiong let out another long sigh, looked at the Giant Elephant Legion that was gradually receding, then waved his hand, and said: "Withdraw."
At this time, the setting sun was as red as blood. At the bottom of the mountain, there was a vast plain that was filled with wiggling monsters. They were slowly approaching the village.
In Lin Aoxiong's eyes, the beautiful sunset in the sky was like a heart dripping with blood.
At this time, Ye Tian, Xian Di, and Chu Yue had just arrived at the peak of Divine Mountain that was about fifty kilometers away from Sunrise City.
In all honesty, Sunrise City was also located at the peak of the Divine Mountain, and its distance from the palace wasn't too far away, just a few hundred meters away. But one reason was that God Clansman was too arrogant, and Luminosity Clan people also did not interact much with other clansmen. Thus, in these past several hundred years, these two great races, which were only a hundred miles away, had never actually communicated or come into contact with each other once.
But at this time, because God Clansman had already moved out with his full strength, and everyone had formed their Divine Martial Infantry Regiment, they were currently stationed outside of it. As a result, there was no one in this large God Clan palace.
Inside the God Clan palace, Ye Tian looked at the fully grown and densely packed divine trees with interest, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "This thing is really something good. Without the leaves on them, the rate of death and injury in the Divine Weapon Camp would probably be huge."
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the highest point of the God Clan Palace.
Looking into the distance, one could see a snow-capped mountain in the distance. On top of the mountain was a dazzling flash of light.
With the help of the flash, Ye Tian could see a group of palaces sitting around the flash.
At this time, Xian Di pointed to the snowy mountain in front of them and said, "That is Sunrise City, and it is also the highest point of Divine Mountain. According to the legends, after the sun rose, the first light to shine upon it would be on the City of Sunrise. "
