Gojoseon and the dragon flames refracted a faint halo under the gray sunlight. The saber and sword continued to dance in Allen's hands, killing the outsider soldiers who had rushed through the Steel Edge Warriors' line of defense. Lucy's ninety or so Steel Edge Warriors formed a true steel line of defense. These warriors had no fear or doubt. Their tall bodies were wrapped in long cloaks, revealing only their hands and the giant weapons they held. These tall figures reassured the people on the battlefield. Their mechanical and efficient attacks would always disperse the outsiders' attacks.
Only a few stray fish managed to escape the threat of the giant soldiers, but what greeted them was the second line of defense formed by several experts, including Allen.
Allen's movements were simple and concise. He was like a miser, unwilling to waste any excess physical energy on these miscellaneous fish. Gojoseon didn't even reveal its most basic high heat characteristics. Allen used its sharpness to cut open the throats of the Saber Demons or Catus.
This position was the defensive area Allen was in charge of. The artillery position was set up on a low slope. Including Allen's Vulcan cannon, more than thirty cannons continued to fire, bombarding the right flank of the outsider tide. The other party also returned the salute, but most of the cannonballs were intercepted and detonated by Allen and the other experts. In this position, apart from Allen, there were also Hubble, Lola, Adele, Broy, and Bai. Lucy was in charge of commanding the Steel Edge Warriors and letting the Silver Winged Killers assassinate their own enemies.
There weren't many soldiers in their position, but there were definitely many experts. Considering that the Orlando couple didn't have enough experts, Allen even arranged for Regis, Roy, Belmore, William, and the others to stay with them to help defend the position. Otherwise, Allen would have so many experts on his side that even the Bucks Army did not have such a luxurious lineup.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for a single soldier to break through the defensive line. As a result, at the bottom of the slope, streams of unique auras rushed up from the enemy formation. With a Cato expert as the leader, the outsiders immediately threw in five experts around Level 23 or Level 24, intending to attack this artillery position in one go.
"Hubble!" Allen roared.
Hubble's eyes lit up in his helmet. Origin Energy surged, and flames sprayed out from every crack in his armor. Hubble's aura became as heavy as a mountain. In the eyes of the crowd, his figure seemed to have grown much taller, like a towering mountain that could stop any flood. He strode forward, intending to stop all the enemy powerhouses by himself.
Other than Allen, even experts like Lola who had followed Allen for a long time were surprised by Hubble's actions. Only Allen knew that Hubble definitely had such strength. At this moment, the Catus had activated another mode of the Fallen Body.
It was the Immortal Temple that specialized in defense. This was a defensive posture that was different from berserk slaughter.
At this moment, the five outsider experts had all broken through the defensive line of the Steel Blade Warriors and rushed towards the short slope. Hubble strode forward. He stabbed the giant sword into the ground and punched the ground with both fists. A visible shockwave spread out in the shape of a fan with him as the origin, flooding the five invading enemies like a tide. Regardless of their level, when this shockwave swept past, all of these outsider experts revealed expressions of surprise. Their bodies, senses, and even the Origin Energy within their bodies were affected, and they even fell into chaos. At this time, not to mention continuing to charge, he couldn't even do such a simple action as moving his fingers.
Kinetic energy shock, a special ability of the Immortal Temple. The vibrating force field it produces can disrupt the target's perception and Origin Energy movement, causing it to fall into a state of immobility. Seeing that Hubble had restrained the five outsider experts, Allen let out a soft howl. Gojoseon's blade flowed with scarlet flames, and the long saber finally spat out explosive flames. Allen leaned forward and disappeared from where he was. Only a streak of red light descended the slope and intersected with two of the experts.
By the time his toes landed on the ground, Allen had already appeared under the low slope. The red line stretched and expanded, and explosive flames sprayed out, forming a cloud of fire. The bodies of the two experts who had been brushed by the fire cloud were annihilated by the high-temperature explosive flames. The light in their eyes quickly dimmed, and they scattered into several pieces of corpses that landed on the ground. Bloy and Bai also pounced down. The former's Hammer of Forbidden Extinction flashed with yellow light, and a hammer imprint landed on the body of the first Catu expert. The yellow flames on the hammer spat out, and the Catus' chest collapsed. His entire body flew backwards, and if he didn't die, he would only be seriously injured. Bai was even more simple and crude. He flashed to the front of a Saber Demon expert, stretched out his hand, and pulled out his opponent's heart. Just as he was about to kill another outsider beside him, a sharp howl suddenly sounded from the slope, and that person's head exploded. Bai turned around and saw a young girl raising her sniper rifle on the slope. Her short brown hair was wantonly flying in the sunlight.
The five experts who attacked the formation were killed in the blink of an eye, but this did not scare away the outsiders. However, in a short period of time, they would not be able to send any more experts to the next artillery position. As a result, the situation returned to its original state. The outsiders still used their advantage in numbers to attack the defensive line of the position, and the slaughter seemed to never stop.
When dusk quietly arrived, Allen was almost numb. He forgot how many people he had killed. He only knew that he mechanically waved Gojoseon and Dragon Flames to kill all the outsiders in sight. If it weren't for his firm will, he would have collapsed long ago. And now, this artillery position actually existed in name only. After fighting for a day, almost all the cannonballs had been fired. After noon, the cannons could no longer continue to bombard, so they could only take turns to fire. Even so, the outsiders were still unwilling to give up, even though their corpses had already piled up into a small mountain at the foot of the hill.
Finally, the horn to retreat was blown from the back of the outsiders' army. Amidst the desolate sound of the horn, the foreign race soldiers who had been continuously attacking the defensive line began to retreat. At this moment, even the tireless Steel Edge Warriors had their weapons slashed until their hair was curled up. At the end of the battle, they were using brute force to kill the foreign races.
But no matter what, the outsiders finally chose to retreat. Even if it was temporarily. However, facing this hard-won victory, no one could cheer. Most of the nervous soldiers fainted on the battlefield after confirming that the outsiders had retreated. They had to rely on other comrades to carry them back. Just Salon alone had to carry four to five officers back to the camp, not to mention the others.
In this incomparably tragic battle, the humans had lost more than three thousand people. Just the corpses alone had piled up into a few small mountains. As there were too many dead people, there was no way to transport them back for burial. They could only remove their nameplates and cremate them on the spot to prevent a plague. As for the outsiders, there were more than ten thousand corpses left behind. Looking at every inch of the ground, one could see the corpses of the outsiders. And the blood that flowed from both sides dyed the plains dark red and other colors. The smell of blood was so thick that people had to hold their breath to prevent themselves from vomiting.
The work of cleaning up the battlefield after the battle was no easier than the battle itself. The logisticians had to take turns to rest. Only then did they manage to cremate the bodies of the last batch of outsiders before dawn. The entire battlefield was filled with thick smoke, and the smell of battle lingered in the air. When Salon returned to the castle, it was already midnight. After eating dinner and resting for a while, Allen was much more energetic. Seeing Salon return, he took the initiative to ask about the situation of the camp.
Salon took off his cloak and helmet. The moment he sat down, he finally showed his old age. The general shook his head tiredly and said, "Although the number of dead soldiers was within our expectations, the number of injured far exceeded my expectations. Sir Allen, close to seventy percent of us are injured, and thirty percent of them are heavily injured. Not to mention fighting, it is unknown if they can even last until tomorrow. "
'"Simply put, if the outsiders continue to attack tomorrow, the number of people we can participate in the battle will only be about half of what we have today. But that's not the most serious problem. The more serious problem is that our ammunition reserves are being consumed too quickly. I'm afraid our artillery position will face the awkward situation of having no ammunition to fire tomorrow. "
Allen frowned, "Are there no reinforcements? The Imperial Army should have more than this amount of troops. Even if the northern and southern fronts are fighting at the same time, isn't the Imperial Army known as a million heroes? "
'"Under normal circumstances, even if it was only our Bucks Army, we would still have enough troops to deal with the battlefield here. But the situation is turbulent now, my lord. As far as I know, the Bear Armor Army stationed in Mosaio openly disobeyed Marshal Roderick's command. Grand General Arkham announced that he was independent and independent. Only when the empire confirmed the new king did he lead the Bear Armor Army to pledge allegiance to him. "
At this time, Ante had food delivered, but Salon obviously had no appetite. After eating two slices of bread and drinking a glass of ale to refresh himself, he continued, "As for the Dragon Army, I think you know about it." General Woodrick led part of the Dragon Army south. He should have been the most promising reinforcements for us. But right now, the war in the Southern Border isn't just limited to this one. I think the general has been delayed elsewhere. At least in the short term, he won't be able to make it. "
'"As for the Black Wolf Army and the Lion King Army, there are also problems like this and that. Marshal Roderick is already very busy just to maintain the operations of the military headquarters. He also has to take into account the troops on the entire battlefield, so it's just our front. I'm afraid it's very difficult to get more reinforcements. "Salon sighed," We have to rely on ourselves, my lord. "
Allen fell silent. He knew what this meant.
Today had passed. What would happen tomorrow?
The night was silent.
At the end of dawn, a horn sounded outside the castle. Allen opened his eyes, thinking that the outsiders were going to attack again, but when he listened carefully, it was not a warning signal. Puzzled, he put on his clothes and got out of bed. He pushed open the window and a cold wind blew in, lifting his spirits. Allen looked out of the castle and saw figures constantly rushing out of the main road in the forest. He was stunned by this scene. Could it be that reinforcements had arrived?
