"This is going to be troublesome." General Wall-Shi pulled a corner of his white beard and frowned. "Since they were able to escape the dragon's judgment, there's no guarantee that they won't use that method a second time."
Lockeages suddenly became more excited:
“You want to use it a second time
We still don't know what methods they used, but judging from the time it took, it didn't take that group of guys long to deal with a city of soldiers.
I simply cannot imagine the despair our soldiers experienced in that short period of time.
The survivors almost fell into the hands of the orcs. Now they must be tortured by the orcs and kept in a half-dead state.
The orcs just want to exchange living people for our captives!
Damn orcs, damn colorful-haired masked men, don’t they have any humanity at all
They are indeed a group of barbaric guys!"
As soon as the general, who had been dealing with monsters in the north, returned to the meeting, even with the emperor of the Rose Empire present, General Lockages vented his emotions without a care in the world.
Sitting in the main seat, the emperor of the Rose Empire said nothing as he examined the expressions of everyone present.
The seriousness of the situation is self-evident.
General Walsh coughed a few times and reminded:
"General Lockages, please be careful. His Majesty the Emperor is still here. Besides, in the midst of war, I think it is worthless to talk about so-called humanity. Now we should contact other troops and ask them to prepare in advance."
The intelligence chief Liu Qi raised his hands helplessly and said, "That's what he said, but according to the current intelligence, the people who attacked our Liangcheng are only the colorful-haired masked man and a few magicians. The specific method is still unclear, so it's difficult to prepare in advance."
The meeting fell into silence.
If the enemy is just an ordinary orc elite, it would be ok. The Rose Empire can still send out elite troops to cast a wide net.
But the difficulty lies in that they don't know when the colorful-haired masked man's strength has far exceeded their imagination. The ordinary elite troops can no longer stop the colorful-haired masked man by numbers alone.
In order to eliminate the hidden danger of the colorful-haired masked man, the Rose Empire spent a lot of effort to form a special assassination team, hoping to separate the colorful-haired masked man from the team and assassinate him when he appears.
But before the special assassination team could take action, such a major incident occurred.
If Yang Yu and his men could really decide the life or death of a city in a short period of time, the assassination team would only be running around in a hurry unless they were ambushed on the route they had to take.
How should we deal with this incident and how should we explain it to the public
The generals present expressed their opinions on how to deal with this emergency. However, for several days, there was no substantial progress in the meeting.
The orcs will not wait foolishly for the Rose Empire to hold a meeting to come up with a countermeasure.
The memory crystals recording those cruel scenes had been sent to the city guarded by the Rose Empire at Ajiket's instruction.
The orc magician holding the magic memory crystal was carried by a group of silver wolves and moved forward quickly against the biting cold wind.
For the safety of himself and the crystal, the orc magician will surrender to the Rose Empire defenders present while the memory crystal is playing, making it impossible for the Rose Empire officers to take action and they can only watch the image on the crystal slowly play out.
Before long, what happened in Benliang City became known to everyone.
The tragic scene impacted the most vulnerable defense line in the hearts of every Rose soldier.
Some of the weak-willed officers of Rose did not make a good judgment at the first time, but instead tried to contact the two generals guarding Benliang City.
The result is predictable.
Unable to contact the general of Benliang City, most of the Rose soldiers became more panicked and frightened, and gradually began to lose the will to fight.
Not long after, the matter of the memory crystal also reached the top leaders of the Rose Empire.
The already overwhelmed top leaders of the Rose Empire became even more overwhelmed.
Soon thereafter, even worse intelligence came back.
— "The colorful-haired masked man is on the move again."
Horrible dark clouds appeared one after another over the city guarded by the Rose Empire. The Rose soldiers looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and thought of the scenes they saw a few days ago, and each of them was like a frightened bird.
The attitude of the colorful-haired masked man is extremely clear.
Either surrender or die.
If within the specified time, the Rose Empire dares to resist or if more than two-thirds of its people surrender, the colorful-haired masked man and his men will mercilessly make sure what happened that day happens again.
A few stubborn officers tried to resist, saying that Yang Yu was made of paper and was just trying to scare them. They were all soldiers of the Rose Empire and would die bravely. As long as they could unite, they would be able to uncover the true face of the colorful-haired masked man.
But the Rose soldiers were not inspired by the general's words.
You can fight, but if you don't see any hope of winning, only a fool would unilaterally commit suicide and be slaughtered.
They wanted to fight, but they didn't want to die that way.
The officers defending the city were stubborn and unyielding, and the soldiers only said on the surface that they "will never surrender and will fight the colorful-haired and masked man to the end."
When they really saw black rain falling from the sky, they immediately disobeyed the officers' orders, knelt down in surrender, and begged Yang Yu and his men to stop using their magical powers.
They didn't know how Yang Yu created that kind of super-large magic effect.
But until now, the dragons have not punished that man. This is very telling. If the other party really takes action, they may not even have a trace left.
The town that the Rose Empire had captured after the spring and summer offensive was lost in this way at the beginning of winter, and a large number of soldiers were captured by the Wansheng Kingdom according to the rules of the dragon.
This is something that the Rose Empire cannot accept no matter what, but what can they do if they cannot accept it
After only three days, a large number of gaps appeared in the Rose Empire's defense on the Cerrovomen Plain, and the front line began to collapse.
The top leaders of the Rose Empire came up with many countermeasures, but none of them could solve the problem fundamentally.
Some generals thought of abandoning the city and using cavalry to conduct mobile warfare, but the range of Bai Jin's weather magic was too wide, and the clouds in the sky could move in the direction of Bai Jin's magic wand.
The gathered troops actually gave Yang Yu great convenience. He took advantage of the fear rooted in the hearts of Rose's soldiers and further destroyed their inner defenses.
In the wars, the Rose Empire gradually noticed that if they wanted to disintegrate Yang Yu's offensive which was like "the arrival of the god of death, everyone surrenders", the key might be to get rid of the magician following him.
If they cannot deal with the magician, even if they capture the Cerrovomen Plain next year, they will lose this land in an instant in the winter.
In this case, what is the point of previous efforts
This year's defeat is inevitable.
In order to prevent more soldiers from surrendering without a fight, or being overwhelmed by the soldiers of Wansheng due to low morale, the Rose Empire has reluctantly ordered its troops to retreat.
However, they still plan to make one last attempt.
A gamble that doesn't end in failure.
