"Retreat!"
Allen shouted. At the same time, he threw the silver grenade in his hand and rushed in Kamu's direction. (Then he turned around and ran. Lucy shot a ball of red light into the sky with a signal gun and retracted Number 7 to join the evacuating team.
There weren't many trolls left. Although they weren't completely successful, it was equivalent to crippling the power of this special force. There were only four or five trolls left, and now that there was a powerful Saber Demon General like Kamu, there was no need to think about returning to the base if he didn't run and catch up to the other party's main force.
The silver hand/lightning was thrown by Allen forcefully, crossing the battlefield like a cannonball and smashing straight towards Kamu. The Saber Demon General thought that it was just an ordinary high-explosive grenade. He stretched out his hand and pulled up a heavy spear beside the warbeast. He threw it at the grenade, trying to detonate it in midair so that he could continue chasing after Allen and the others. Unfortunately, the grenade detonated, but the power of the grenade exceeded Kamu's imagination.
The heavy spear accurately hit the grenade and detonated it in the air. However, the explosive grenade produced a pale ice-colored flame. Wherever the flame passed, there were countless flickering ice and snow crystals in the air. The temperature of the space dropped rapidly. Kamu and the surrounding Knight's armor quickly climbed up a thin layer of light blue frost. The bone-piercing cold air desperately drilled into the pores of their skin. Even Kamu couldn't help but shiver, let alone those elite Wolf Cavalry around Level 10.
What was even more deadly was that clusters of ice spikes suddenly appeared on the ground. The horned wolf that was running wildly collided with the warbeast. Immediately, the wolf tripped repeatedly, and the Knight on it fell to the ground, creating even more chaos. Kamu's Prison Fire Beast was brave and fierce. It directly smashed through a cluster of half-meter-tall ice spikes in front of it. However, two horned wolves that rolled to the ground tripped the Prison Beast and Kamu jumped up. He rolled in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. He raised his foot and stepped on the head of the sliding Prison Beast, stopping the mount.
However, with such a delay, there was no sign of Allen and the others under the night sky. Moreover, the cold energy that drilled into his body was still desperately heading towards his heart along his blood vessels. Kamu had no choice but to circulate his Origin Energy to disperse the cold energy, and he couldn't help but be speechless in his heart.
He swept his gaze over the other wolf cavalry. Three of them had actually been frozen to death on the spot. Their armor was covered in frost and their skin was covered in a layer of indigo blue. The frost released by that grenade was truly tyrannical.
Kamu didn't know that it was a Frost Grenade made by Lucy from the Ice Demon King's Origin Jade. That Origin Jade had only made three grenades and five enhanced Frost Bombs. The Ice Demon King wasn't an ordinary item that could be found in large quantities. The ammunition made from its Origin Jade was naturally particularly overbearing.
Upon seeing Lucy's signal, Peter immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat. Ten-some soldiers who had been injured in battle volunteered to stay behind. They knew that with their injuries, they would definitely not be able to move as fast as the wolf cavalry. Rather than being caught up and killed while retreating and causing trouble for their comrades, it was better to fight to the death on the spot and buy time for the others to retreat.
Peter did not object to these people's decision, but silently left with those who were still able to move freely. Behind them, the rumbling of machine guns was exceptionally loud, and from time to time, the rumbling sounds of high-explosive grenades could be heard. Waves of heat waves chased after him from behind. Behind each wave of heat waves, it meant the death of a life. Peter gritted his teeth and rushed forward. The remaining fifty or so warriors formed a long dragon and ran straight towards the location of the two main war chariots.
Peter turned around and saw that there was still a group of Wolf Cavalry chasing after him under the flames. The Saber Demon's ground unit was the fastest. As the Horned Wolves ran, they gradually closed the distance between them and the team. Just as he was about a hundred meters away from the end of the group, a flame suddenly soared into the sky under the night sky in front of him. Following that, a sharp howl of a missile pierced through the air. A missile pulled out a parabola in mid-air and landed accurately in the middle of the Wolf Cavalry group a few breaths later.
After an earth-shattering explosion, the rising fireball almost enveloped the entire group of Wolf Cavalry. Seeing this scene, Peter heaved a sigh of relief. With the firepower of the main war chariot, the pursuers of the Saber Demon were just fat meat that had been delivered to the door for no reason.
It was already dawn when they returned to the base. When they saw the convoy return, the soldiers on the sentry tower couldn't help but cheer. The three city gates opened with a rumbling sound. Amidst the dust and smoke, the convoy drove into the square of the base with the remaining smell of gunpowder. The two war chariots stayed outside the city. They could provide firepower that was not inferior to defensive heavy artillery, and they could move freely. When needed, they could rely on the cover of the two war chariots to organize an assault.
After Allen and Peter got out of the car, they walked to the command hall without stopping. The hall was already filled with officers. When they saw Allen and the others, they all cast expectant gazes.
"I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?" Allen asked.
The officer looked at me and I looked at you. One of them stepped forward and said, "We've already prepared for the worst. Let's hear the bad news first."
"The bad news is that the Saber Demons have mobilized more than a thousand troops this time. Apart from the regular troops, there are also weapons of war like trolls."
Hearing this news, the expressions of the officers became somewhat unnatural. A few of them even moaned softly. Obviously, they knew that trolls were the natural nemesis of any defensive line. They were fearless of death and had great strength. The defensive walls of the base would not be able to do anything to them. They would be knocked down in a few attacks. Hearing that there were trolls in the enemy army, the officers were all bitter.
"What about the good news?" The officer who had asked earlier asked with a bitter smile.
"The good news is that more than half of the other party's twenty trolls were killed or wounded by our sneak attack. The remaining few will probably be covered by a round of heavy artillery. It will be enough to clear them out of the battlefield." Allen smiled and looked at Peter.
Peter nodded heavily.
This was undoubtedly a turn in the news. Hearing that the trolls had been injured, the officers' bitter expressions changed drastically. Without the trolls attacking the defensive wall, the pressure on the defensive line would be reduced by at least half.
Allen coughed softly and said, "Although the sneak attack was successful, we lost nearly 30 soldiers. Therefore, we cannot be blindly optimistic. Even without the trolls, the enemy's combat strength is still above ours. All we have to do is persevere. The more serious and cautious we are, the more hope we have of surviving. "
"Yes, sir."
The officers withdrew one after another, and Peter went out to determine the work of the city's defense. Allen and the others were the only ones left in the command hall. Only then did Allen reveal a little fatigue. He threw himself into a chair and hugged Qianjun. "After this war, we can almost return to Earth. So no matter what, you have to survive for me. Like I said before, brothers, we still have a long way to go. "
"Don't worry, head." Welik moved his fingers and said, "I promised Demi that I would go back."
"I also want to go back to see my family, so I will never die in this kind of place." Bloy looked out of the window at the gradually brightening sky and gripped the Hammer of Forbidden Extinction tightly.
Allen looked at them and sighed in his heart. He knew that there was no such thing as a war without death, but he still hoped that more people would survive this battle. It was all because others, like them, had all sorts of reasons to want to live.
However, who knew how many people would sleep in this desolate land forever after this war?
Even Allen didn't want to think too much about this heavy question.
More than an hour later, an alarm sounded in the base. Allen opened his eyes from his fake sleep and lifted Qianjun up. "Let's go."
On Base 3's defensive wall, Allen and Peter stood side by side beside a defensive heavy artillery battery. On the horizon of the barren land ahead, a black line was rolling over. That was the army of the Saber Demons. Their advancement wasn't fast. The enemy's lineup could be seen through the binoculars in an orderly manner, naturally creating a huge pressure on the border of an army.
Perhaps affected by the enemy's aura, everyone's hearts felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on them. Even the sunlight during the day seemed bleak when it shone on the snow. The sky was filled with lead clouds. Gray-white clouds gradually covered every corner of the sky, and the world was filled with killing intent.
Allen raised his binoculars and scanned the enemy's array. Kamu lined up a typical Saber Demon lineup. Ordinary soldiers occupied the center of the array, while the Berserk Wolf Knight was distributed on both wings. Kamu was located in front of the enemy formation, and on his left and right were the centurions and thousand commanders of the Saber Demons. As for the remaining four or five trolls, they were scattered throughout the formation of soldiers. It seemed that Kamu planned to let them attack the defensive line of the base with the soldiers.
If it weren't for Allen and the others who had severely injured this special force last night, Kamu could have formed a team of trolls to penetrate the defensive line of the human army. The aura of more than twenty trolls charging together was enough to chill one's heart. As for now, it was another situation.
Fortunately, due to the limited space of the Erosa, the Guardians were unable to keep a large number of servant beasts like knife ants in the Sacred Site. Otherwise, Kamu and the others would have pulled in a cannon fodder army, which would undoubtedly increase the consumption of ammunition for the base.
Putting down his binoculars, Allen glanced at his base. The soldiers had already entered their positions under the orders of their respective commanders, and all the firepower points on the three rows of defensive walls had already been arranged for machine gunners. The defensive turrets scattered on Defensive Wall No. 3 were ready to fire at any time. The two war chariots were distributed in front of the base. Behind them were two trenches that had been dug temporarily last night. The trenches were filled with soldiers. They would be the first line of defense of the base. If the situation was critical, they would retreat to the base.
Bloy and William, the two fierce generals, also stayed in the trenches. Both of them held a rifle in their hands and carried several high-explosive hands/mines on their bodies. They hid in the trenches like soldiers, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Second Lieutenant Allen, it's a pleasure to work with you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to participate in such an important war. "Peter stretched out his hand to Allen.
Allen looked at him solemnly and clenched his fists tightly. Allen said solemnly, "Try to survive."
"You too!"
