Before Kesner realized what was going on, a large number of troops suddenly appeared on the surrounding highlands. Additionally, they had already pulled their bows and arrows to the fullest. With a shout, "Shoot!" Amidst the shouts, a large number of arrows flew downwards. The number of arrows was so large that it almost obscured their vision.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! " Ceren, the deputy general, immediately shouted. However, it was useless to shout at this moment. Everyone could see the enemy attack. What should they do?
"Protect the marshal! Protect the marshal! " Kessner's guards reacted quickly. At this moment, they had to protect their leader first so that someone could issue an order. Kessner was in a very dangerous position. Half of the surrounding arrows were aimed at him. The nearby guards immediately pulled Kessner off his horse. Closely after that, they raised their shields and tightly surrounded Kessner.
Seeing that there was a large shield formation in the middle, the archers of the Second Legion on Li Huailin's side knew that they couldn't kill the enemy Marshal, so they could only start killing the surrounding soldiers. In an instant, the casualties of the demon army increased rapidly.
"Marshal, what should we do?!" a guard shouted at Kesenel.
"What should we do … what should we do …" Kaisner repeated. At this moment, he was a bit dumbfounded. 'What's going on? My army has only been out for an hour. How could they be ambushed? This doesn't make sense.'
"Marshal!" Ceren, the deputy general, pulled Kesenel's clothes and shouted, "Give the order now, or our army will be annihilated!"
"Retreat, retreat to the camp behind us. We've only been out for an hour. If we hurry back now, we should be able to retreat," Kesenel immediately said after waking up. Fighting the enemy in this situation was suicide. The terrain advantage of the enemy was too obvious. They couldn't fight them at all. In this case, they only had two choices: rush forward or retreat. If they went forward... Kesenel couldn't guarantee how many enemies were waiting for them in front of them. However, if they went back, the path they had just taken should be safe. Moreover, their camp was right behind them. After marching for an hour, if they ran back now, they should be able to defend their camp in less than half an hour.
"Retreat! Everyone, rush back to the camp!" the deputy general immediately shouted.
"Retreat!" A group of soldiers had been shot until they were dizzy. People around them were constantly falling down. With such a large area of fire, those who were not hit were the lucky ones. However, they were also so scared that they almost peed their pants. Hearing the marshal's order, the soldiers who were originally planning to run immediately began to retreat.
However, it was not that easy to retreat. The ground was already difficult to walk on, and the dead soldiers were now lying on the ground. Although they did not completely block the way, they were enough to hinder them.
Seeing that the other side was trying to retreat, the 2nd Legion shot even harder. They were originally elite troops, and their archery skills were godly. Now, they focused on those without shields, and each arrow was enough to take down one of them. This was a very efficient way to kill the enemy.
The people on the ground ran for their lives while the soldiers on the ground started shooting at them. Along the way, a large number of Demons' bodies were left behind.
"They're going to escape!" McCain walked up to Li Huailin and said to Li Huailin.
"I f * cking saw it." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Come on, the second wave."
"Signal the infantry, attack!" McCain immediately said to the flag soldier next to him.
The Demons kept retreating. Although they suffered a huge loss, they still managed to get some troops out of the Death Valley. The troops at the front were basically wiped out, but the troops at the back were still intact. As soon as they heard the situation in the front, they began to retreat and soon escaped.
Although Kessner, the marshal of the Demons, was originally at the front of the troops, he also successfully retreated under the protection of a group of guards. Looking at the dead soldiers on the ground behind him, Kessner felt like a knife was being twisted in his heart. How could they die here before they even entered the battlefield?
"Marshal!" Beside him, the deputy marshal Salem also escaped. He looked very embarrassed. Even his helmet was missing. He almost cried out to Kessner.
"Retreat quickly! They're about to catch up. We still have a chance of survival if we retreat to the camp, "Kessner said immediately.
"Yes! Everyone … "Just as Salem was about to give the order, violent shouts suddenly broke out. Everyone immediately turned around and saw a large row of human troops rushing towards them from both sides.
"It's the human troops!" the Demons shouted.
"How could it be!" Kessner couldn't believe it. How could the human troops ambush here? This was clearly the route that he had just passed, but they didn't attack him. Instead, they waited for him to escape from the encirclement. Given the current situation, the Demons were still in a state of shock. They couldn't even get into formation, let alone fight. Was this the strategy of the human commander?
Kessner's reaction was a bit slower. At this moment, the Demons didn't know what to do at all. They didn't know whether to fight or retreat. Without any orders, the human soldiers on both sides rushed into the remaining Demons and started a massacre.
Without giving them any time to react, the archers who had been shooting at them also came out from behind them and continued to shoot at the devil troops who were surrounded by the infantry troops. Countless devil soldiers fell, and the size of the devil troops shrank as much as possible. They were almost squeezed together.
"Rush out! Rush out! We still have hope! " Kessner shouted to everyone. There was no doubt that they were doomed this time. However, they had to rush back to the camp while they still had troops. Otherwise, all the soldiers would die here.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! " The surrounding guards were all elites who had followed Kessner for many years and were very strong. Hearing Kessner's order, they immediately took the initiative to act as the vanguard and led the remaining Demons to rush out. Under the threat of death, the Demons seemed to have broken out into a small universe. In a split second, the human infantry could barely hold on.
"The opponent is fighting back. Avoid their vanguard and kill them from the rear!" Seeing this situation, Dima Terry, the commanding officer of the infantry of the 2nd corps, immediately shouted.
The infantry immediately executed Dima Terry's order. They gave way to the attacking troops in the front and began to harvest the heads of the soldiers in the rear.
The Demons just wanted to rush out of the encirclement. They just kept rushing forward and didn't have time to deal with the soldiers in the rear. Under the leadership of the guards, all the troops rushed forward while the human troops in the rear killed the soldiers who fell behind. The Demons were squeezed smaller and smaller, and their corpses almost formed a road.
"We're going to kill our way out!" Since the human troops intentionally gave way, the Demons finally saw hope. The frontline troops had already broken through the encirclement of the humans and could see the way back.
"Everyone, follow me and kill our way back! We still have hope! " At this time, Kessner also saw hope. He looked behind him and found that there were not many Demons following him anymore. However, at least he had killed his way out. As long as he could go back, he would still have hope.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, a soldier of the Demons pointed at a black spot in front of them.
"Eh?" Kaichener was dumbfounded for a moment. However, when he looked ahead, he saw a row of black spots in the distance. Moreover, they were moving. Kaichener felt that they were getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. As a veteran, he quickly understood what they were.
"It's … the Human Race's Cavalrymen …" Deputy Commander Salem said with an ashen face. He couldn't understand why the Human Race's Cavalrymen would appear behind them, but he knew that they were doomed.
"Human … cavalry …" In an instant, the little hope that had been ignited was shattered. In an instant, all the Demons lost their fighting spirit. They were really going to be annihilated this time.
The captain of the 2nd human cavalry, Samos, was at the front of the cavalry. Naturally, he also saw the Demons. He immediately laughed and said, "Boys! And meat! Everyone, charge! Kill them for me! "
"Kill!" The 10,000 cavalrymen at the back (the original 6,000 cavalrymen of the 2nd human cavalry, plus the 4,000 private soldiers of Li Huailin) began to whip their horses and rushed towards the Demons.
"F * ck, those bastards from the cavalry are going to kill our own people! Everyone, get out of the way!" Seeing the situation, Infantry Captain Dima Terry felt that something was wrong. Saimos had gone crazy when he saw the Demon army. His own Infantry Team was still chasing after them, and Saimos just rushed over like this. Wasn't he going to kill his own men? Fortunately, it would take some time for the cavalry to arrive, so the infantry immediately gave way, leaving only the Demons in the middle. What they meant was, "Go ahead!"
"Marshal!" At this moment, Ceren also gave up resisting. The human troops were now on the left and right sides of the demon troops. Once the human cavalries arrived, the demon troops on this side would be completely annihilated. Ceren glanced at Kaicner beside him and forcefully threw his saber onto the ground. "Why? Why! "
"Salem, I'm sorry, this is my responsibility …" Kessner turned his head to look at Salem and sighed. Then, he glanced at the remaining Demons. All of them had lost their fighting spirit and hope. They could no longer fight. Kessner smiled miserably and said, "Today's defeat is because of me. Now, death is the only way out!"
After saying that, Kaichenel held up his sword and cut his own neck. Blood spurted out and splashed onto the faces of all the surrounding demon soldiers. After a short while, his tall and sturdy body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Marshal!" "Marshal!"
