"Alright, now tell me, what's the situation?" The next morning, Li Huailin appeared at the temporary gathering point of the undead. Looking around, he knew that the undead had suffered heavy losses. However, Li Huailin still decided to find out how heavy the losses were.
"Uh …" Soudeis didn't dare to say anything. He looked at Li Huailin and reported, "In one night, our team has gathered more than 2,400 people. According to the current situation, there should be about 1,000 more people coming. As for the others …"
"In other words, we've lost 90% of our troops …" Li Huailin said while holding his forehead.
"Yes, most of the soldiers were washed away by the river. Although the undead soldiers won't drown, according to the current situation, it's quite difficult to gather them. After all, the Haigalor River is so turbulent and flows directly to the sea in the east. Maybe they've already been washed into the sea," Soudeis said.
"…" Li Huailin really didn't speak for a long time.
"Also, Lord Dennis has probably been washed away. We haven't found him yet," Soudeis added.
"That idiot should have been directly washed into the sea," Li Huailin said. "What about Fiona?"
"She has voluntarily resigned and is at Your Highness' disposal." Soudeis pointed to the side and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now? I think everyone has received information about this battle. "
"When will our reserve army arrive?" Li Huailin asked. Of course, the reserve army Li Huailin was talking about was the army led by Sulfur and the others from the Dwarf Empire. Previously, Li Huailin led an army of 100,000 undead to attack the Dwarf Empire. In order to maintain order in the Dwarf Empire, he left 70,000 troops behind. Sulfur returned with 40,000 troops. Originally, he should have already met up with the army here, but because the undead were advancing too fast, the troops behind couldn't keep up. As a result, the two sides haven't met up yet. Now that there was a shortage of troops, they could only wait for reinforcements.
"According to yesterday's information, Lord Sulfur's troops are not far behind us. They should be able to meet up with us tomorrow," Soudeis said. Su Daisi said. Originally, the two sides already had over a hundred thousand troops. Even if the Demon race increased their troops, they wouldn't need it. Right now, even if they joined forces, they would only have less than fifty thousand troops. They really lacked manpower.
"Then let's wait for the rendezvous," Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, do you mean to continue the attack?" Soudeis asked after thinking for a while.
"If we retreat, the humans will definitely retreat as well. The Demons here have escaped. What good is that for us?" Li Huailin asked.
"Your Highness, we still have a big problem," Soudeis said. "How should we cross the river?"
Soudeis pointed to the Hailgaro River not far ahead and said, "I have asked Fiona and the others before. They basically summoned all the ships they could find in the vicinity to cross the river yesterday. In other words, there are no ships that can be used in the vicinity, and now all these ships have been washed away. If we want to cross the river, we have to do it now. During this time, maybe the Demons here will do something … And it will take too long. I think by the time we successfully cross the river, the humans and the Demons will have already finished fighting."
"Well … this is a problem." Li Huailin also nodded. He had also seen the map of the Hailgaro River yesterday. The river had been running through the southern part of the Demons' map, and then extended all the way to the sea. It was impossible to go south, so the only way was to go north. However, the north was now the attack route of the humans. If they went directly like this, the humans would certainly not trust the Undead, and there might be another conflict at that time.
"Should we negotiate with the humans to see if we can make a detour from the north?" Soudeis asked.
"This will probably be very troublesome." Li Huailin said. It was fine if Li Huailin was the commander of the Human Race, but now it was Colin. Colin was also very vigilant against the Undead. If the Undead were to circle behind Li Huailin, then Colin would certainly be afraid to move forward. Li Huailin nodded.
"How wide is the Hailgaro River?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"The Hailgaro River is vast, but it also has a relatively narrow place. The narrowest place is where the Mocara Bridge is located. The distance between the two sides of the river is about 181 meters." Soudeis had also investigated the situation here, so he immediately replied.
"The narrowest place is 181 meters?" Li Huailin said with a little surprise.
"Yes, Your Highness, this is already the narrowest place. If it weren't for this place being narrower, the bridge wouldn't have been built at that time," Soudeis replied.
"Take me to have a look." Li Huailin thought for a moment, then decided to take a look.
Soon, Soudeis brought Li Huailin to the side of the destroyed Mocara Bridge. He also conveniently handed over Matthew. This guy was not only good at alchemy, but he was also very good at engineering, so he wanted to see if he could repair the bridge in a short time.
But looking at the bridge, the situation was a little worse than expected. The bridge was now directly broken from the middle. Probably because of the urgency, the Demons also used some kind of engineering bomb to break the three bridge piers in the middle, causing a large section of the bridge in the middle to collapse. Li Huailin roughly estimated that the distance between the two sections of the bridge was about 70 meters. This was already the narrowest place in the Hailgaro River, but it was still very difficult to cross.
"It's so close, but there's no way to cross it." Soudeis also looked at the other side of the bridge and sighed.
"Hmm …" Looking at the bridge on this side, Li Huailin suddenly wanted to know what to do. Just as he was about to say something, he didn't expect a sudden sound from the other side of the bridge. Li Huailin looked up and saw a group of Demons on the other side of the bridge. It seemed that they were here to patrol. Seeing the Undead soldiers standing on the other side, the Demons on this side reported to their main camp and began to taunt them across the river.
"Hahaha, you bunch of Undead bastards! We beat you badly yesterday, didn't we? Let me tell you, we killed all the soldiers you crossed the river yesterday. If you have the ability, come and take revenge now!" A few demon soldiers clamored. They were the demon troops that had been in charge of the north bank yesterday. Not many of the Undead troops had successfully crossed the river yesterday, and after the flood, more than half of them had been wiped out. The group of Undead soldiers who had been overwhelmed by the flood had been killed by the combined efforts of the 5,000 Undead soldiers who had been carrying them on their backs.
Even so, the troops on the south bank could not come back now. Even if the surprise attack was successful, they could not come back because the bridge had been blown up. But they still wanted to see if the surprise attack was successful, so they sent troops to the river bank in the morning to check the situation. The team here also came to see if it was their own people when they saw the troops on the other side. To their disappointment, it turned out to be the Undead. This probably meant that the troops on the south bank had been completely wiped out. Even so, looking at the other side, they were probably seriously injured. Now that the other side could not come over, they could only scold and taunt a little to satisfy their cravings.
Faced with the taunts of the Demons on this side, the Undead soldiers who followed Li Huailin could not remain calm. They were in a bad mood after their defeat just now, and now the enemy came to taunt them. The two sides immediately quarreled across the river.
"F * ck your grandpa, come over if you have the ability, you undead dogs."
"You're the one who has the ability to come over. I'll just kill you."
"Phew …" Li Huailin exhaled directly. This kind of unskilled quarrel was too boring.
"The black-robed man over there, you're the boss of the Undead, right? Aren't you very powerful? If you have the ability, come over and kill me. " While they were quarreling, a Demons on the opposite side suddenly saw Li Huailin in the middle of the black-robed man with his sharp eyes. The Demons had naturally notified their subordinates to pay attention to the man in the black robe. He was the leader of the Undead, so the Demons on this side also recognized Li Huailin.
"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled slightly. "Are you serious?"
"Hahahaha." The few devil soldiers immediately burst into laughter. "Yeah, yeah. If you have the ability, fly over here and show us. Maybe you really can fly. Let us brothers have a look."
"Understood." Li Huailin nodded directly and pointed to the Demons on the other side. "Then I'll come over."
"You come, you come." The Demons on the opposite side said with a smile.
With a "swish", Li Huailin suddenly disappeared from the sight of all the Demons like a living person. He completely disappeared without a trace. The Demons who were originally laughing froze in an instant. This was too strange.
Before they could react, they heard a terrifying voice coming from their side. "Okay, I'm flying over. Didn't you say you wanted to kill me?"
Several Demons heard the voice and immediately turned their heads. As a result, they saw Li Huailin standing in their team. They were so scared that they hid to the side. A few of them were even scared to the ground.
"You … how did you come over?" A Demons asked in a trembling voice.
"I flew over as you wished." Li Huailin smiled. "Thank you for giving me a springboard. In order to repay you, I spared your life … Thank me."
