Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Apart from the Knight Legion and the Tyrant Azure Dragon Legion, which couldn’t land and lacked long-range firepower, therefore did not participate in the battle, the remaining four legions, without exception, joined the extermination battle against this combined force of over ten thousand heavy infantry and crossbowmen.
Before this, the Ocean Crown army made a deliberate choice to leave the abandoned town. They capitalized on their amphibious forces to slip into the sea, which created a clear path for Wasteland Guild soldiers to enter the town without any obstacles. From there, they mounted attacks from the sides and rear along the coastline.
From the current performance, this strategy was undoubtedly very successful.
The soldiers of the Wasteland Guild had no idea that the place they had previously scouted was suddenly swarming with enemies. Caught off guard, they were thrown into disarray.
Especially the frail crossbowmen who followed the heavy infantry, they were taken by surprise and some didn’t even have a chance to fire a single crossbow bolt before their heads were chopped off.
“Damn it, how did these enemies get behind us!”
The soldiers of the Wasteland Guild were both shocked and angry. They formed small teams to counterattack, but it was practically futile. The Ocean Crown troops had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and their coordination was superior in every way.
Several heavy infantry raised their shields to form a simple defensive line, but the Naga Guardians paid no attention to their fancy formations. With a single stroke of their blades, they effortlessly split the shields and then proceeded to slaughter this heavy infantry one by one.
Hearing the sound of enemies all around them within the thick fog, and the cries of their comrades never ceased, the morale of the Wasteland Guild soldiers plummeted. They quickly fell below the critical point, with many of them discarding their armor and weapons in a state of panic, attempting to flee.
But on the road, they were pursued and hunted down, and in the end, only a small fraction of the soldiers managed to escape from the town.
Looking at the over ten thousand soldiers who had originally entered the town in an orderly manner, but now less than a thousand had escaped, even the Guild Leader, Zunong, couldn’t bear it any longer.
Grabbing a soldier who had managed to escape, he angrily questioned, “How did you end up in this state!? How many enemies are there?”
The soldier whose collar was seized looked frightened and shook his head in confusion.
“I don’t know. We’ve searched the entire abandoned town, but we don’t know why the enemies suddenly appeared from behind us and on our flanks, completely breaking our formation.
1 saw General Ulu being cut into two pieces by the enemy’s hero…”
Seeing that he couldn’t extract any more useful information, Zunong let go of the soldier, his expression incredibly gloomy as he gazed at the town still enveloped in fog.
Damn fog!
Damn Ji Chen!
If 1 ever catch you, I’ll use the crudest torture on you!
So far, the Wasteland Guild had suffered losses of over fourteen thousand troops in this nameless abandoned town, and the damage inflicted on the enemy was surprisingly only in the single digits.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have believed that someone could incur such an outrageous casualty ratio.
Is this reasonable?
But the angrier and more puzzled Zunong felt, the more he realized he couldn’t let his emotions control him.
He took a deep breath, calming his mind, and began to think.
The loss of fifteen thousand troops was not without value. At the very least, it gave him an understanding of the enemy’s strength.
As he had said earlier, someone who could be the target of a bounty issued by the Kingdom of Bass must have extraordinary qualities.
Although these extraordinary qualities were shocking to the point of disbelief, Zunong knew he could no longer underestimate Ji Chen.
Otherwise, the significant loss of troops for the Wasteland Guild in this player would affect the future siege of Feiguang City, and in turn, his domination.
Contemplating the information from the returning soldiers and everything he had seen, Zunong began to weave a web of information in his mind. contemporary romance
He looked at the thin but still dense fog, a faint smile forming on his lips.
Since this fog greatly hindered their assault, why not disperse it?
Fortunately, the Wasteland Guild had recently acquired a team of wind-element mages. Perhaps they could use wind-based magic to dissipate the thick fog shrouding the town and expose the enemy in plain sight.
Without concealment, the bed crossbows, catapults, and long-range firepower could then exert their full killing potential.
“Spread my orders, let the wind mages take the field!”
“Use magic to blow away this damned fog for me!”
Hundreds of human mages in blue robes, wielding wooden staffs, formed a straight line on the high ground. They raised their staffs in unison and chanted incantations.
Soon, chilling gusts of wind were attracted from the horizon, swirling and spiraling in the sky before rushing forward.
Whoosh-
Breezes swept across the grasslands, picking up tufts of grass and the lingering scent of blood, all surging toward the abandoned town.
The thick milky fog, even after such an abrupt blow, gradually retreated toward the ocean, revealing the remnants of the town’s buildings.
A spark of excitement gleamed in Zunong’s eyes, and he exclaimed, “Increase the power of the spells! Don’t worry about the mana consumption; we have plenty of mana potions!”
Hundreds of thousands of wind mages nodded in agreement, intensifying their magical output. On the grassland, it was as if a category-eight hurricane had swept through, rapidly driving the fog away.
Several minutes later, what had originally been just vague outlines of the abandoned town was now completely exposed to their view..
