Hao Tao stood in the camp with a steel whip held in his hand, seriously looking at the city of great calamity, which had just launched a strike.
The golden statue was hundreds of meters tall, and the vertical eye between its eyebrows shot out a destructive divine light attack. Moreover, it was so powerful that the Starry Sky Spirit Tortoise, which had activated all of its innate abilities, and its flesh and bones were extremely strong, and it had even formed a special defensive formation, but it still couldn't withstand a light attack from the statue.
"I've never seen or heard of such a thing." Hao Tao's heart was heavy.
As a military judge, Hao Tao had participated in many battles against the non-humankind, but he had never seen a city of great calamity on a battlefield. This city of great calamity could be counted as an important treasure of Yu Dynasty. It once appeared on battlefields in the era of Emperor Zhuanxu. But back then, the twelve branches of Yu Dynasty only had one city of great calamity!
But now, twelve cities of great calamity appeared in front of Hao Tao!
Judging by their size, they were many times larger than the cities of great calamity recorded in the secret scriptures of the humankind. Their attacks were fierce and unstoppable. Hundreds of starry sky spirit turtles with strong defensive abilities were killed with a single strike, and thousands of nearby starry sky spirit turtles were severely wounded!
With one strike, the ground three-hundred miles in radius collapsed, and all living beings were destroyed. With such a destructive power, what if the city of great calamity aimed at the camp of human beings instead of the turtles?
Hao Tao's heart sank, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He lost his eyesight.
Hao Tao was a fair and strict man, a master of law. He was also a strong cultivator. Many years ago, he was already a half-step Supreme Magus. However, he was only good at the law. He was only a military judge. When it came to things like marching and fighting, he had some small achievements, but he was not a real 'famous general' or 'famous commander' type of person.
Facing the destructive city of great calamity, cold sweat oozed out of Hao Tao's forehead. Should he fight? Retreat? Or what? Why hadn't Pu Ban City sent a message back yet? If Si Wen Ming or any other famous human commanders were here, what would they do?
All of a sudden, Hao Tao discovered the biggest problem facing this allied human force!
During the flood, the enemies of this allied human force were water-kind armies. Commanders from large clans discussed with each other and fought against those water-kind spirit creatures for years. Eventually, they gained the upper hand.
However, facing the well-organized and powerful Yu Dynasty army, this elite human army was like a headless snake without a leader. Facing many important problems and difficulties, it couldn't make effective decisions at all.
Many clan commanders and elders gathered around Hao Tao. They all witnessed that terrifying strike launched just now, and cold sweat oozed out of their foreheads. They didn't know what to do. It was too powerful! The lethality of the High Moon's City of Great Calamity was too astonishing. So many Starry Sky Spirit Turtles were instantly vaporized. What if that attack was aimed at the main camp?
"Hao Tao, Hao Tao, what should we do? Fight them head-on? Or … "One of the elders of the White Tiger Tribe shouted anxiously.
"Fully activate the defensive magic formation. How many magic crystals do we have in the supply camp? How long can we last? "A Roc Clan elder rushed over while gasping quickly, his eyes filled with nervousness.
"After all, this is only a temporary wooden camp, and our warriors are gathered here, too densely." A Taowu Clan elder shouted harshly, "We can't fight them head-on here. We have to figure out a way to weaken their cities of great calamity as much as possible!"
Hao Tao's head was in a mess. Countless laws and rules were hovering in his head, but he couldn't make the wisest decision.
Fight? Or retreat?
If they fought, the warriors in the camp weren't afraid of death. They would definitely rush up and fight the non-humankind with their lives!
But, as the Taowu Clan elder said, this was not the best battlefield for the humankind! If the non-humankind only sent out an ordinary army, they wouldn't be afraid of them. But, they sent out their cities of great calamity. If the warriors stayed in the camp, they would become living targets for the twelve cities of great calamity!
The strike launched just now only killed hundreds of starry sky spirit turtles, but how large could a starry sky spirit turtle be?
If that strike landed in the camp, at least hundreds of elite human warriors would be wiped out, and over a million warriors would be injured severely!
If such a strike were launched a few more times, the entire camp would be wiped out, and not a single human being would be left alive.
'Damn it, damn it!' Hao Tao gave a bitter smile. As he thought, he still needed a commander! Even if Si Wen Ming, the most capable commander of the humankind, wasn't here, Ji Hao was still a smart kid! Based on Ji Hao's temper, he would never suffer a loss! Following him, his warriors wouldn't suffer a loss either!
In the sky, large groups of Eastern Wasteland archers mounted on flying beasts had already started fighting Jia Clan warriors.
Treading on metal plates, these Jia Clan warriors flew at a high speed, at least twice as fast as the most common flying beasts used by Eastern Wasteland archers. However, these Eastern Wasteland archers were terrible at turning, moving, and dodging. In terms of agility, they were much worse than flying beasts.
Eastern Wasteland archers danced in the sky like flowers in a flower arrangement. Countless arrows darted across the sky and pierced into the bodies of Jia Clan warriors.
Some Jia Clan warriors dashed around like raging bulls, trying their best to disrupt the formation of Eastern Wasteland archers. Meanwhile, another group of Jia Clan warriors carried heavy shields and lined up in the sky, forming a human wall. They encircled some Eastern Wasteland archers, trapped them in the shield formation, and slaughtered them.
This was a war between bulls and eagles. For now, neither side had suffered too many casualties. While changing their battle formations, both sides were preparing for the final strike.
On the High Moon's city of great calamity, Alo To crossed his arms over his chest, looked at those Eastern Wasteland archers flying all over the sky, then conveniently pointed at the west side of the human camp and said, "Here, kill another batch of turtles. Reduce the damage a little more. Bastards, do you know how valuable these giant turtles are? When we conquer the humankind, these big things will be our treasures! "
"Be careful. Don't hurt the human camp. Just force them to retreat to the south, don't injure them. " Alo To looked at those human warriors in the camp, sneered and said, "They will be our best shields. It would be such a shame if they died in our hands now. "
The hundreds of meters tall golden statue opened its eyes again and released a white beam of light, which was much thinner than before. Another hundred starry sky spirit turtles were killed.
Hao Tao sighed slightly and said with a deep voice, "They seem to be driving us away. They don't intend to start a real fight!"
Taking a deep breath, Hao Tao growled out harshly, "Retreat to the south, retreat to the Chi Ban Mountain! Their cities of great calamity won't be of much use in that place. "
Orders were given out one after another. Following the order, human warriors abandoned the large camp and lined up in the loosest formation, unhurriedly retreating to the south.
