The army of the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance was quickly packing up their things. However, some Sky Dance Experts had already returned to the main camp from where they had stored their provisions. As soon as they returned, they immediately went to the Year 19's tent.
Year 19 called these people into the tent. The one leading them was Mister Wu. Year 19 looked at Mister Wu and said, "Mister Wu, what's the situation?"
Mister Wu's expression was ugly as he replied, "Alliance Lord, it's all over. Our provisions are all gone. They were burned down, leaving nothing behind. Moreover, a lot of people in the cities have died. Even more people have fled. Those cities are now empty."
Year 19's expression was ugly as he stood there. After Mister Wu finished speaking, Year 19 said, "Gather all the Sky Dance Experts and retreat with the army. If the people from Nanhua Gate come out to attack, then you must cooperate with the ground forces to block their attack." Mister Wu nodded before he turned around and left.
Year 19 sighed and muttered, "Even the heavens aren't helping me."
At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard from outside. Then a person ran into the tent. Year 19 looked at the person and saw that it was one of his subordinates. Year 19 looked at the person and said, "What's the matter?"
The person immediately reported, "Alliance Lord, it's not good. The Nanhua Gate's troops suddenly left the city and are heading towards the camp."
Year 19's expression changed as he muttered, "They're sending troops at this time? What do they want to do? Shouldn't they be attacking when we're retreating? Why would they come out at this time? " Since he couldn't understand, Year 19 immediately shouted, "Send an order to all the City Lords to the tent. Hurry!" The messenger nodded before he turned around and left.
Before long, the Generals of the various city-states arrived at the central tent. However, their complexions weren't good. They also received the news that the South Hua Gate's garrison had suddenly come out. It was precisely because of this that their complexions turned ugly. The South Hua Gate sending troops at this time was very disadvantageous for them.
Year 19 looked at these people and said, "Everyone, what do you think about the Nanhua Gate suddenly sending troops? Logically speaking, now is not a good time for the South Hua Gate to dispatch troops. We haven't left the camp yet, so we can stay in the camp and defend. They can't do anything to us. Why would they dispatch troops at this time? "
The generals frowned. After a while, one of them suddenly said, "Alliance Master, I think this is what the Nan Hua Gate wants. They want us to defend our camp, not attack us when we retreat."
Hearing this, Nian Nineteen couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"
That person said in a deep voice, "Alliance Lord, our provisions have been burned, and we don't have much provisions left in the camp. I'm afraid that the provisions in the camp won't last us ten days. At this time, if they suddenly come out of the city and attack us, we will defend the city. If they continue to attack, we will have no choice but to defend. But what about ten days later? If we run out of provisions, then our army will collapse immediately. At that time, when they attack again, I'm afraid our army will be completely wiped out. "
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed. Year 19's expression was even uglier. He hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do now?"
The general thought for a moment before replying, "Alliance Master, since they haven't set up their formation yet, we should gather all the combustible materials in the camp and block the passage to the back. Then when they attack, we'll set these things on fire and use the fire to block their attack. This way, we'll have time to retreat. We can't let them trap us in the camp. Otherwise, we'll be finished."
Year 19 nodded, then he said, "Alright, we'll do as the general says. Everyone has heard it, so let's do it immediately. We don't need to bring any tents. After the soldiers pack up, we'll immediately retreat. Each city-state will send a thousand people to cover our retreat. Our Elephant City will send two thousand people. They'll be the last to leave. When the enemy attacks, they'll set everything in the camp on fire to cover our retreat."
The other generals nodded. They knew that if they didn't agree at this time, then they would be enraged. Moreover, the people who stayed behind this time were also for themselves. Even if they lost a thousand people, it wouldn't be a big deal. They could still afford to lose them. Therefore, they didn't oppose this decision.
Nanhua Gate's army also needed to be reorganized. At this time, the Alliance Army's camp was also preparing. Piles of things were deliberately thrown on the road. The speed at which the army packed things up also increased. Aside from some necessities, most of the things were thrown away.
Nanhua Gate's army wasn't small this time, at least two hundred thousand. This was already beyond the capacity of Nanhua Gate. However, it was clear that Nanhua Gate's army wasn't limited to just this. This was because there were more troops in the city. In other words, Nanhua Gate's army was no less than three hundred thousand.
After the two hundred thousand troops were reorganized, they immediately lined up and slowly pressed towards the Alliance Army's camp. At this time, Year 19 also ordered the army to retreat. The soldiers that stayed behind were also prepared. They held torches in their hands, ready to set the camp on fire.
The army left through the camp's gate. Just as they were a few li away from the camp, they saw the camp on fire. It was clear that Nanhua Gate's army was already in front of the camp. The people in the camp had no choice but to light the fire.
Mammoth City-State's army wasn't at the front of the army, nor was it at the back. Instead, it was in the middle. This position was very safe, and the other City-States wouldn't be able to say anything.
But at this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Year 19's army looked behind them and saw a cavalry charging towards them. This made Year 19 and the others stare. They didn't understand how the enemy managed to rush through the burning camp in such a short time.
However, it didn't take them long to figure out the reason. The reason why the enemy was able to rush over so quickly was because of the enemy's experts. The enemy also had Sky and River Breaking experts. It was clear that these Sky and River Breaking experts had already made their move. These Sky and River Breaking experts used their energy to open up a path for the Nanhua Gate's army. This allowed the Nanhua Gate's cavalry to rush through the sea of fire in the shortest time possible and catch up to the Alliance Army.
Year 19 immediately ordered the army to resist the enemy's attack. However, he didn't expect that his order would be useless at this time. The people of the various city-states had their own thoughts. They were very clear that those who stayed behind to resist the enemy would never be able to return. Because of this, they simply didn't have the heart to resist the enemy. When the enemy rushed over, the army at the back suddenly became chaotic and scattered. The soldiers were running around in all directions. Not to mention resisting, even the formation of the vanguard was messed up.
Upon seeing this situation, Year 19's head buzzed. He knew that they were finished. After thinking about this, Year 19 immediately gave an order to General Qin, "Order the army to advance at full speed. If there's a fork in the road, then leave through it. Don't go back to Yalong City, quickly."
When General Qin heard Nian Nineteen's words, he immediately responded. Then, he had a few Sky Dance Level experts scout ahead. Needless to say, there really was a fork in the road a few miles ahead of them. General Qin immediately had people lead them to the fork in the road.
Naturally, the other city-states were also able to see Year 119's departure. The originally orderly army of several hundred thousand was now in complete chaos. The city-states' armies that were in the front immediately sped up. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were throwing away their armor. As for the armies that were in the back, each and every one of them ran forward with all their might. Even if their allies were blocking their path, they wouldn't hesitate to rush forward. In just a short time, the entire alliance lost its order, it was a scene of chaos.
At this time, no one dared to resist the South Hua City-State's army. The South Hua City-State's army chased them all the way. In this case, it was impossible for the Alliance Army to resist them. The South Hua City-State's army chased them all the way for hundreds of miles while the Alliance Army was left with corpses all the way. In the end, the South Hua City-State's army stopped in front of several cities of the Lesser Dragon City-State. These Lesser Dragon City-States were big cities and had a lot of garrison troops. Since the South Hua City-State's army chased them all the way, it was impossible for them to attack the city.
In fact, there were still several small cities along the way. However, these cities were where the Alliance Army stored their food. At this time, the fires in these cities were still burning. There were no troops in these cities, not even a single person. Whether it was the Alliance Army or the South Flower City's army, they weren't in the mood to stop there. They directly went around the cities.
Although the South Flower City's army had stopped, the Alliance Army's losses were huge. Of the hundreds of thousands of troops, less than half of them were able to return to their respective city-states. A lot of the troops directly ran away. The ordinary soldiers didn't know where they went. Some of them were killed by the South Flower City's army.
Naturally, this was all in the future. At this time, Nineteen and the others were still running. They didn't dare to stop at all. It wasn't until they reached the several big cities behind the Yalong City that they stopped. Nineteen immediately used the transmission formation to return to the Elephant City. The other city-states also used the transmission formation to return to their own city-states.
At the same time, the situation of the Lesser Dragon City-State wasn't very good. Although the large cities were able to block the Southern Flower City-State's army, the Southern Flower City-State's army was also increasing in number. Moreover, the Southern Flower City-State's army seemed to be ready to attack at any time. This made the Lesser Dragon City-State very nervous. The Lesser Dragon City-State immediately mobilized their army to support the large cities. At the same time, they sent a request for reinforcements to Nineteen.
But at this time, Nineteen couldn't even take care of himself. How could he support the Yalong City?
