“We’re retreating just like that!?”
Wan Luo couldn't believe that Ajiket actually gave such an order.
Even though he hadn't done anything yet and now was the time to make his mark, Ajiket gave the order to retreat.
Many officers in the third echelon also had the same idea as Wan Luo, especially the generals who participated in the last battle of Benliang City.
It is rare that we gain the advantage so quickly this time, and the morale of the soldiers is high. If we retreat like this, I don’t know how many times more difficulties we will face if we want to try again in the future.
Although they thought so, every general still obeyed Ajiket's command and organized the troops to retreat.
What good would it be to achieve victory in the short term if we lost important logistics
The victory that Wansheng Kingdom wanted was to completely regain all lost territory and force the Rose Empire to cease fire and apologize.
They would never allow someone to be obsessed with winning a battle and sacrifice the goal they had been fighting for.
Some people also questioned Ajiket's decision.
When the logistics troops are attacked, you can leave some soldiers to continue attacking the city and send only some back to defend, so as not to give up the victory in vain.
It was not until the nearby artillery fire became more intense that these people realized the superficiality of their ideas.
The third echelon retreated, and the first and second echelons instantly became the targets of concentrated fire from the cannons and magicians on the city wall. Terrible rumbling sounds echoed around them, gorgeous magic flashed before their eyes, and the breath of death filled the battlefield.
The Rose defenders of Benliang City retreated, and the advance of the orc soldiers became more difficult.
What made the orc soldiers even more desperate was that after retreating back into the city, the troops led by Ulan rushed to the city wall and built up defenses in an orderly manner.
Even if the first and second echelons could get close to the city wall and climb the city wall, they would definitely be killed without a single survivor by the human troops gathered on the wall.
Even if they succeed in capturing Benliang City, the losses would be unacceptable to the Wansheng National Army.
Braving the fierce artillery fire, the first and second echelons finally withdrew from the battlefield at the cost of two thousand casualties and headed straight for the camp.
At this moment, General Wu Zi, who was guarding the camp, was struggling to hold on, and a new wound appeared on the scar on his forehead.
In front of him was a pair of twins, who used two different sword techniques, interspersed and coordinated with each other, making General Wu Zi dazzled.
Fortunately, General Wu Zi was able to erect his rabbit ears to capture the movements of Eleven and Twelve, so that he could use the exaggeratedly proportioned spear in his hand to resist the combined attack of the two.
Glancing around from the corner of his eye, he saw that the tents that the orcs had worked so hard to build were already on fire, and the sounds of fighting were endless.
In order to reduce losses, even the orc soldiers who were doing odd jobs took up arms and rose up to resist, but how could they be a match for these elite troops of Rose
A dozen orc soldiers surrounded an elite soldier named Rose. The man drew his double blades and slaughtered the orcs one after another like chopping melons and vegetables.
Countless blood dyed the snow in the camp blood red. The instigator put away his double blades without a care, stepped over the blood, found the tent where the storage scroll was stored, took out a torch, started a fire from the burning tent nearby, threw it into the storage scroll, and then walked out swaggeringly.
As long as no one triggers the magic array on the storage scrolls within a certain period of time, the items in the storage array will completely disappear into the other dimension.
Not a single piece of food residue would be left. Even if the Wansheng National Army wanted to survive by eating food that had been burnt into charcoal, they couldn't do it.
Helmet, who had set the tent on fire, was in no hurry to leave.
A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and many orc officers rushed over. Some attacked Helmet without saying a word, while others rushed into the tent that was spewing flames, triggered the magic circle, and rescued supplies as much as possible.
A flash of light flashed by, and several officers who slashed at Helmet One fell into a pool of blood, blood splattering everywhere.
A masked girl with long black hair appeared. She swung her sword lightly, and the blood of the orcs turned into blood beads and fell from the blade. The blade reflected the surrounding firelight like a mirror.
In order to resist the severe cold, the elite soldiers of the Rose Empire all wore purple warm clothes, but she was dressed in black.
"Boring, extremely boring. If I could become stronger simply by killing a few people, I wouldn't be here!"
She put the blade in her hand back into the scabbard, and the girl's words were full of dissatisfaction.
"I joined you to become stronger, not to do this kind of boring thing with you!"
Kui, who was standing in front of the tent, curled his lips and was extremely dissatisfied with the girl's attitude.
"Aslit Dolan, I know you are very powerful, even the strongest among our peers.
But don’t forget the gift the empire has bestowed upon you. It was with the empire’s training that you have reached your current level and can barely rank on the genius list. You should be more grateful to the empire.
Compared to your truly talented sister, you are still not qualified!"
Hearing this, the girl named Aslit's expression under the mask became distorted. She walked up to Heiyi, grabbed Heiyi's collar and lifted him up.
There was no fear on Kuiyi's face.
"What? Am I wrong
Your family never valued you at all. It was only after you promised to be a loyal dog that would always be loyal to the empire that the empire was willing to devote resources to training you!
You should serve the Empire with all your heart, not be an ungrateful idiot."
Aslite couldn't help frowning, and she couldn't deny it. If she hadn't taken that step, she might have been different.
…If you do nothing, you will only become a laughing stock among others.
With a "click", Helmet slapped Aslit's hand away and straightened his collar.
“I heard that in order to get the snowmen to help us, the Empire gave out an invitation to the Dragon God Conference.
If you don't want your invitation to go unreceived, just do your job well and stop complaining.
Without an invitation letter, if you want to stand out from the offline selection and participate in the main competition, with your straightforward fighting style, you may be eliminated by some sinister guy who comes from nowhere.
If you want to prove that you are better than your sister, you must first do something for the empire!"
Aslit clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
In the light of the fire, an orc troop rushed towards them again.
As if to vent his emotions, Aslit drew out his long sword, raised his sword again, and quickly killed the attacking orc soldiers.
Kui Yi sneered, drew his two swords and continued to look for the next tent.
But not long after, Hei Yi received a unified message from the nearby magicians.
"The main forces of Wansheng State have begun to return to defend, and the total number should be a full retreat.
Wait a minute, General Scarlett has sent a message asking us to retreat and carry out the next mission.
I repeat, no need to fight, just retreat."
