Chapter 530: Retreat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The guardians at the entrance were astounded. Why had all their meticulously set mechanisms failed in the morning?

Little did they know that Qin Silong was no ordinary commander—he was someone who had experienced rebirth.

In his previous life, following their triumph in the battle, Qin Silong dedicated time to studying the mechanisms erected by their adversaries. He discerned the underlying principles of these contraptions and identified their placement.

Although the mechanisms were positioned on the road, the essential components, such as stones and wood, were situated on the mountain. By sending individuals to the mountain to control those handling the materials, the mechanisms below were rendered useless.

The strategists assumed that the soldiers couldn’t ascend the mountain due to its sheer cliffs, deeming it an impassable barrier.

However, Qin Silong’s rebirth brought unique knowledge. In his previous life, after their victory, he chanced upon information from a local captive regarding a secret passage behind the mountain. This passage led to a steep path from the back of the mountain to its summit, providing an entry point to Three Flowers County from above.

This alternative route negated the need to traverse the entrance.

Nevertheless, the treacherous path posed a significant challenge, making it perilous for ordinary individuals to navigate without risking fatal falls.

Currently, members of the Dragon Phoenix Hall and Qin Silong’s elite troops had formed a small unit of nearly a hundred people. They had successfully reached the mountain, neutralized those responsible for placing the materials, and dismantled the mechanisms. The rocks, wood, fuel, and fire on the mountain were now secure.

Moreover, this group was swiftly advancing toward the rear of the enemy. In their quest to subdue the bandits, they understood the significance of capturing the leaders first, making various leaders their prime targets.

The pivotal realization for the attacking forces lay in the understanding that eliminating the leader would swiftly disperse the enemy soldiers.

Drawing upon his memory, Qin Silong marked defensive points on the map, providing clear guidance for his advancing troops.

Witnessing the gradual encroachment of enemy soldiers, panic swept through the defenders at the entrance. Urgent dispatches flooded into the castle, pleading for reinforcements.

The imminent threat lay in the approaching moment when the soldiers would launch a direct assault on the entrance. Archery would then lose its efficacy, transitioning to close combat where numerical superiority was crucial for defense.

Inside the castle, confusion reigned. How had the mechanisms, unscathed in the morning, been destroyed now? Could it be that a celestial force had descended upon the mountain, obliterating the mechanisms and ascending without explanation?

Recognizing the necessity of reinforcing the entrance, 2,000 individuals were sent out of the castle. However, as the soldiers neared the entrance, and the battle escalated to a standoff, the demand for additional reinforcements became urgent.

Compelled by the situation, the castle dispatched another 2,000 soldiers. After three waves of sending a total of 6,000 reinforcements, the castle hesitated to commit any more.contemporary romance

The remaining thousands of specially trained soldiers within the castle were akin to a regular army, considered valuable assets not to be squandered recklessly.

Qin Silong and Su Ping led the charge with an irresistible force, striking down enemies and infusing the attacking forces with a surge of morale. The majority of their troops exhibited exceptional bravery in the face of adversity.

The enemy steadily retreated, and the pursuing soldiers pressed on.

Reaching the castle gate, the retreating forces found it tightly shut. There was no intention to swing it open to welcome them inside, nor was there any sign of the sect army mobilizing for combat.

Desperation rang out in the shouts of the retreating soldiers,

“Open the door! Let us in!”

“Open the door! We need reinforcements!”

“Open the door and send troops to fight!”

Despite their fervent pleas, the castle gate remained closed, and the entrance’s drawbridge remained suspended..
