The great retreat is still going on. More than 80% of the entire human land has been occupied by alien races. More than 1/3 of the human race has either been massacred or died on the battlefield. The remaining human army of more than 5 million is also retreating towards the Andrel Canyon... Behind them, nearly 10 million alien troops are chasing them frantically, trying to completely eliminate the last resistance of mankind.
When the troops of the God and Demon Defense Line, which was farthest from the Iron Battle Fortress, retreated to the bottom of the castle, millions of alien troops also completed their final encirclement of the Iron Battle Fortress.
At this time, after a thousand-mile retreat, the entire human army was reduced from nearly 5 million before the retreat to less than 2 million. It can be imagined that if this layout cannot successfully eliminate the vast majority of alien races, then the fate of the entire human race is almost unimaginable.
"You kid, I never thought you would be promoted from a division commander to a prince. When I heard the news, I even had a problem with my ears!" Rick rushed over and gave me a hug, while rubbing my shoulders and talking excitedly. Thinking back to the days when we were at the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"You have also gone from being a runaway to a marshal, haven't you? Tell me, have you been severely disciplined by your elders?" I laughed from the bottom of my heart when I remembered that he had run away from home to enter the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy in order to escape his family's responsibilities, despite the opposition of everyone in his family. But soon, my smile faded, because I already knew that almost all of his elders had died in the fight against the invasion of the demons, and I was a little uneasy when I mentioned his family at this time.
"It's okay. I never take it to heart. After all, they all died for the beliefs that our family has guarded for generations. I think this is also their lifelong wish... By the way, let's not talk about this anymore. You should tell me about the following arrangements. Otherwise, I won't be at ease. After all, for this retreat, at least 300,000 soldiers of my family alone died in vain. And the nearly one million troops of that fat pig (former Finance Minister of the Kastark Empire) also collapsed across the board because of our forced retreat..." Speaking of his dead subordinates, Rick's eyes reddened. If he hadn't admired my military strategies from the bottom of his heart in the academy, I'm afraid no one would be able to calm his rough temper at this time.
"There is no plan for you to execute..." To Rick's surprise, I spread my hands and said something that Rick couldn't believe. "To be precise, in this plan, except for the troops of the Kingdom of Yarn, people from all countries are just spectators..."
"Spectators? So many of our troops have withdrawn from the front line, millions of soldiers have been sacrificed in vain, and hundreds of millions of civilians have been abandoned. And you just want us to be spectators? Or do you think that the Kingdom of Yan can deal with the entire alien coalition?" Everyone could see that Rick was furious at this moment, and he was in a posture that he would make trouble for me if I didn't give him a satisfactory answer.
"Yes! Hanlong, you should give everyone an answer, otherwise, I'm afraid everyone will have an opinion!" Although he learned the news that the fat pig's army was defeated by the alien race, every time he thought of the people of the Kastark Empire who were in dire straits, Sack felt a pang of heartache. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the entire Kastark Empire has fallen, which is really a very embarrassing result for the most powerful country on this continent.
"Do you remember what I asked everyone to do when I asked everyone to retreat and cooperate with my flying fleet? I don't think you have forgotten it, right?" Looking at the alien army constantly mobilizing in the distance, imagining the possible scenes that those aliens will show when they are attacked by me, it is really worth my expectation.
"This..." After hearing what I said, the first person to show a strange expression on his face was Marshal Sterling of the Mocaster Empire. Thinking of the war years ago, although he did not experience it personally, he still knew clearly the power of these collections from the mouths of his colleagues.
All of a sudden, Sterling's face was filled with joy. At least he knew that I not only prepared a backup plan, but also a very large one. Although everyone else was very confused about Sterling's reaction, there was no one who was mentally retarded among the people present. They were more or less relieved, but except for Sterling, everyone still had some doubts on their faces.
"Sir, 50,000 mages with the highest magical power and the strongest mental power are already on standby on the city wall. Look..." Before anyone could ask further questions, Shen Qiang and Shen Xiang, who had arranged everything outside, rushed over.
"Okay, gentlemen, now I hope you will immediately order all troops to enter the Iron Fortress. I don't want you to become the accidental victims of this battle... Because after this battle, you will also be responsible for destroying the remaining alien troops and counterattacking those aliens..." With a little worry, I felt that I had never experienced such sadness before. "Rick, if anything happens to me, please help me take care of the people I left behind..." I don't know why, as if I was going to make a will, I held Rick tightly and whispered in his ear.
Afterwards, I immediately forced the three armies to evacuate without wasting a second, and drove the troops of the Kingdom of Yan who were not prepared to participate in this battle into the underground passage of the Iron Fortress. Here, dozens of parallel underground tunnels can send them all to a rear base 20 kilometers away. There, they can completely avoid the storm of war here until I and those alien armies can decide who is stronger.
Without much nonsense, in order to prepare for the upcoming war and to protect those close to me, after casting a large-scale weakening spell, I released magic such as sleeping spells, and then asked my trusted army to take Yiya, Marit, Shen Xiang, and others away from the range of the Iron Fortress...
When night fell, no one knew where to fight. This mountain city, which had been flooded with nearly 2 million troops, was left with less than 50,000 people... (To be continued)
