Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Soone Burned Their Tail
“That guy really did learn skills from my father.”
Staring at Yang Yu, who was active on the battlefield, Wanluo gritted his teeth with resentnt beside Ajiket,
“I should have been the star of the battlefield… Damn it, all the lilight has been stolen by him!”
The Wansheng Country Army’s strategy was divided into three attacking echelons.
The first echelon was mainly responsible for tentative attacks, detecting Luo Ze’s defensive force distribution, and paving the way for the following troops’ attack.
The second echelon was tasked with clashing with the Luo Ze Group Army, disrupting their formation, and based on the situation of the battle, choosing whether to continue fighting the Group Army or attempting to send troops to scale the walls.
Finally, the third echelon would decide the outco of the battle.
If the enemy’s firepower was too fierce, the third echelon would rush into the battlefield and directly undertake the task of covering the retreat.
From the current situation, things didn’t seem too bad.
Last ti, the Snow Creatures’ assault was too fierce, and facing enemies on both fronts, the Central Recovery Army could only fight desperately, choosing to retreat to the heavens.
Now, Ajiket dispatched troops to set up ambushes around Benliang City, ensuring absolute safety in the rear area.
And on the front battlefield, there weren’t many Snow Creatures left, so long as the Snow Creatures’ “Heavenly God’s Descent” ti ends…
It wouldn’t take much ti for the Beastn’s advantage to beco more apparent.
As a Lynx Beastman, Ajiket had excellent long-distance vision.
He could see Yang Yu’s performance clearly.
It was Yang Yu’s montary provocation that made Fred waste a lot of ti, buying ti for Dongmu and the rest of the troops.
Judging by the performance, Yang Yu’s strength was at a General Level, but it remained unknown if he possessed the capability to command an army in battle.
This youngster was recomnded by Ming Dalak, who even provided a letter of recomndation; indeed, he was competent.
Whether or not that success could be replicated was uncertain.
The fact that flas could burn fiercely on this plain in winter indicated that it was neither so kind of Magic nor a Magic Tool.
As long as the Snow Creatures could be set ablaze, there was nothing to fear from them.
Ajiket led his troops into the battlefield, the vanguard had already created plenty of opportunities for them.
Their only task was one thing, to scale the city walls.
Wulan, engaged in a fight with the Snow Leopard Ice Spring, noticed that the troops behind were in disarray but didn’t descend into complete panic, handling the enemies in front of her thodically, and even retreated from the Beastn’s repeated attacks using the Skill she learned from her ntor.
“Is it about ti?”
Just as Wulan thought this, a loud bell rang out from within Benliang City, three long and three short signals; it was the bell for retreat.
“Knight Power.”
Raising the Long Spear above her head, three blue circles of light spread out from Wulan, repelling the Ice Spring that had lunged at her with a spear.
Then, Wulan turned around, leading the main troops toward the city gates, leaving only a few soldiers behind.
The enormous Snown, taking advantage of the effects of “Heavenly God’s Descent” yet to end, launched a large-scale “Avalanche.”
Suddenly, countless snowballs ford in mid-air, joining with the cannon fire to obstruct the Beastman Army’s advance.
The mages and archers on the city walls also experienced a small burst of activity, doing everything possible to cover the retreat of their troops.
Watching the surging forces of Wansheng Country Army, Scarlett’s face remained stern.
Without enough Snown for support and unable to provide thermal clothing to every soldier, engaging the Beastn before the winter had retreated was still too much of a stretch.
Especially after what had happened, causing morale to plumt drastically, continuing to fight would only result in needless loss of n.
It was then that Scarlett ordered the ringing of the bell.
But the loud peal of the bell didn’t an Scarlett would easily hand over Benliang City.
The thermal undergarnts worn by Scarlett and Wulan were not made for them, but for that group of special warriors.
These warriors had achieved certain effects in restraining the offensive of Wansheng Country, but it was not enough; they could do better, much more.
“Retreating? Quite decisive.
This year they have delayed us quite a bit, and the Snown have already withdrawn; abandoning the city is indeed a good choice.
But this does not an we can be careless.”
Having once been caught in a Human trap, Ajiket was even more cautious this ti, reminding his troops to be careful, and to be absolutely wary of Human tricks after officially capturing Benliang City.
However, this ti the enemy was not in the city, but ca from…
A soldier urgently approached Ajiket on horseback, his anxiety plain on his face,
“Ajiket, ergency! Ergency! A Human force has appeared behind our logistical troops! I repeat! A Human force has appeared behind us! Not many in number, roughly a hundred, but each one is formidable; our logistics cannot hold them off! We request backup! I repeat! General Wu Zi, requesting backup!”
“What did you say?”
Ajiket could hardly conceal the surprise on his face, imdiately thinking of the Luo Ze Elite forces that had harried them from behind.
Before attacking Benliang City, Ajiket had left troops in camp and confird with the scouts sent out that no Human forces were approaching, yet now he received such news.
“Where on earth did they co from?”
At that mont, Ajiket suddenly recalled having received many reports on choosing how to handle Luo Ze’s harassing forces.
Those Luo Ze Elites had set traps, using residual scents to deliberately let Wansheng Country’s soldiers find the Humans’ crude traps, then when the Wansheng Country’s soldiers let their guard down and circumvented them, they would strike from underground…
Could it be the sa this ti… but if the Humans built such simple traps again, they could not have gone unnoticed…
Wait… could it be that they buried the trap directly on the main road we had traveled?
The Human presence from all directions had once surrounded the Beastn, and it was perfectly normal for the main road to have Human scents. With so many people, it was impossible for the Beastn to distinguish them all.
Furthermore, as ti went by, new scents would cover the old ones, and the Beastn would be even less likely to notice the scents on the road, let alone notice if large blocks of ice were buried beneath their feet.
If it were ice created by magic, there might be a chance of noticing it, but if it were real natural ice, it would be almost flawless.
Not wanting to reveal any intent to attack Benliang City again, the Beastn’s strategy forces had not approached Benliang City too closely…
If those elite troops really erged from underground, when exactly did the Humans employ this tactic?
Was a repeated attack on Benliang City also within their calculations?
Now was not the ti to ponder further; if the logistics were compromised, even capturing Benliang City would surely lead to dissipation of the military spirit.
Without hesitation, Ajiket pulled on the reins, issuing the order to retreat.
