That's right. While the Spirit world was fighting with the American guilds, the Sechtor army led by Nokvis also launched an attack on the city where the American NPC army was located.
The city where the Human army was located wasn't a port city. In fact, the place where they disembarked was indeed a port. It seemed like it would be a good idea to station there, but the Crown Prince Vico didn't dare to do so because … he was afraid of the pursuers.
Yes, they are a force that escaped from the mainland of the Americas. Now the entire Americas is against them. Now it is estimated that those people know that the Marine Admiral has betrayed them and joined their camp, so they may send pursuers to kill them at any time. Vico was really afraid. The other party was a force of the entire continent. Of course, he didn't dare to face them head-on. The port was definitely very dangerous. If the other party attacked here, he wouldn't even have a way out.
So Vico immediately decided to attack the city next to it. After a few days, the results were pretty good. After all, the Sectorians here had been weakened, and their government had collapsed, so they didn't organize any resistance. Vico took down many nearby cities, and chose a city called Kdoris as his temporary headquarters.
But the problem was that before he could stabilize his footing, the Sechtor people sent a large force to encircle him. When he saw so many people, Vico really panicked. The number of soldiers on the other side was about the same as his (previously mentioned that the First Legion had lost a lot of soldiers in the pursuit). Moreover, they were Sechtor people, who were stronger than humans. This … he was really afraid that he couldn't win. Vico could only actively organize a defense and respond with all his strength because they had nowhere to go. Now that they couldn't run back, they could only defend to the death.
But what was even more unexpected was that this group of fierce-looking Sechtor's troops were actually so weak. Even Vico didn't expect that the other party would be defeated so easily. Of course, Vico wouldn't be courteous. He immediately sent people to chase and kill them. At the same time, he also felt relieved.
However, things that he did not expect continued to happen. One day later, Kodoris was surrounded by Secktor's troops again. Vico also carefully observed for a while. This army seemed to be the one that surrounded them a few days ago. Other than the number of people being a little less, there was no change.
"This … What's going on? Why are they back? Where are the troops we sent to kill them? " Vico asked curiously. Weren't these troops being chased by his 1st Legion? Just this morning, his troops had sent a report saying that they had surrounded the enemy in a col and were preparing to wear down the enemy's willpower before annihilating them in one fell swoop. Why were they still alive and kicking now? Moreover, they even surrounded their city once again.
"This …" Of course, the general at the side didn't know what was going on either. He thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because Luos and the others aren't familiar with the terrain here. They thought that they had surrounded the other party, but in the end, the other party still circled around and came back to attack them."
"Good-For-Nothing!" Vico was furious. Although he was angry, he still had some self-control. After a while, he calmed down. After all … he hadn't felt the danger yet. "How many troops do we have in the city?"
"Your Majesty, there are currently about 10,000 soldiers deployed," the general next to him replied. That's right, most of the 1st Legion's troops had been sent to kill Sechtor's troops. There were still some troops left in the nearby cities that they had conquered, or perhaps they were still attacking the cities that they hadn't conquered. When Vico came over, he could be said to be penniless and had brought 50,000 people with him. It was a headache to feed this army, so it was necessary to quickly expand their territory.
"Then the other party should be about the same as us." Vico felt a little relieved. Sure enough, not sending all the troops out was the right choice. Due to the changes in the environment of the Dark Continent, Vico could currently see the situation of the troops outside the city from the top of the city. Now, he estimated that Sechtor's troops numbered about 10,000. Vico wasn't worried about this number. After all, they had tested it a few days ago. Under the same number of troops, the other party's troops couldn't beat their own at all.
"Quick, send someone to call back those disgraceful fellows." Vico thought for a moment and said. Now, he still thought that his troops were foolishly waiting at the entrance of the col, and that they hadn't discovered the other party's troops had circled around. He didn't think about other situations at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general on this side was the same. He nodded without any doubts and then arranged his subordinates to do it.
"Looking at these guys … could it be that they want to attack the city?" Suddenly, Vico saw that the other party's troops seemed to have made a move. Since they were rushing towards their city, this really surprised Vico. Although he didn't believe that the other party could do anything, he still asked for peace of mind. "There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Of course, Your Majesty. This group of natives only looks very powerful, but they have no combat power at all. Didn't Your Majesty see the previous battle?" The general immediately replied. "Your Majesty, why don't you let me lead the troops out of the city to eliminate them?"
"It's better not to be careless," Vico said. It wasn't that he really thought that his troops would lose. He was just afraid. "Defend well. Luos' troops should be back soon. Let's eliminate them again."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general on this side received the order and then let his troops prepare for defense.
But even so, because the human troops underestimated the enemy, they were really very blind. They didn't realize that there was a huge hidden danger in the city's defense. Yes, the city's defense was actually completely useless. In the past few days, the city had experienced too many battles. After the human troops attacked and occupied the city, Sechtor's troops quickly attacked again. Although they didn't win, the city's defense suffered great losses. The city walls were also damaged in various ways. Of course, it was impossible to repair them in such a short period of time. This situation should have sounded the alarm bells, but the entire First Legion didn't pay attention to this situation at all. In their eyes, Sechtor's troops didn't have any combat power at all. Even if there was no city defense, there was nothing to worry about.
Just as the entire First Legion was preparing to attack the city, a voice suddenly broke the silence of the city. At this time, all the soldiers were gathered at the west gate, which was where Sechtor's troops attacked. Of course, everyone heard it.
"Your Majesty, it's bad! General Luos, he's been defeated! "A soldier hurriedly shouted, shouting as he ran in the direction of the city gate.
"What?" Vico was stunned for a moment. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Our troops, Deputy Marshal Luos' troops, have been defeated!" The soldier shouted again. Because he was also very anxious, he didn't control his voice. Once again, all the soldiers heard it, and the scene suddenly became a little chaotic. All the soldiers began to whisper to each other.
"This is impossible!" Vico, of course, saw the situation of the soldiers and immediately said, "How could our troops be defeated? Who defeated them? What a bunch of nonsense. Where did you send a spy to disrupt our morale? Is it someone from Missas? Men, arrest him! "
Hearing Vico's words, all the soldiers quieted down. Yes, Vico's words made sense. How could their troops be defeated? This guy must be a spy sent by the Tenth Prince, specifically to disrupt the army's morale and obstruct them from fighting.
Seeing that he was about to be arrested, the soldier became even more anxious. He hurriedly shouted, "No, Your Majesty, I'm really not a spy. I'm the general guarding the south gate. Deputy Marshal Luos' troops have really been defeated. Now, many soldiers have escaped. They're at the south gate … "
Yes, the deserters from Luos' troops had only escaped here because they had no other choice. Human soldiers couldn't outrun the Sechtor soldiers. There was a huge difference in size between the two sides, let alone the Sechtor soldiers who had almost doubled their stats. Therefore, those who escaped on the main road couldn't return at all. They were killed by the Sechtor soldiers who caught up halfway. Those who could escape had to escape through various small paths. They actually didn't know much about the terrain of the Dark Continent. After all, they hadn't been here for long. Most of the soldiers didn't even know where they were now. The few who managed to make it back could be considered lucky.
"Nonsense!" Vico, of course, still didn't believe the other party's words. Seeing that the soldiers on his side were a little shaken, he immediately said, "Then tell me, who defeated our troops?"
"Your Majesty, it's the Sechtor troops outside the city!" Of course, the soldiers on his side had already heard about the whole situation from the people who had escaped and immediately replied.
"Hahaha …" Vico laughed loudly. "You still dare to say that you're not a spy? The combat power of the troops outside the city can defeat … "
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! " Vico was still laughing when the surroundings suddenly quietened down. Vico didn't notice anything strange, but the general next to him anxiously shouted a few times.
"What's wrong?" Vico said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, look!" The general said with a slight tremble as he pointed outside the city.
"Look at what?" Vico looked in the direction that the general was pointing. He saw that at the forefront of the Sechtor troops outside the city, there was a guy who seemed to be General Sechtor holding a person up high and shouting something at him. After taking a closer look, Vico's expression changed. This was because he knew the person being held up … it seemed … it was Deputy Marshal Luos.
