Chapter 140 140 MeteorOn the side of the road, in a temporary camp, several soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor who were standing guard were frustrated. Looking at the road, rows of friendly troops retreating westward. Before these brightly armored soldiers could enter the brutal battlefield, they were ordered to start retreating.
The flank attack of the Alanhill Empire had worked, and the Holy Demon Emperor had to give up the plan to attack Higgsnar and withdraw its troops from the salient as soon as possible, so as not to form a huge encirclement and ruin itself of living force.
About 30,000 people are destined to be surrounded by this huge encirclement, and the remaining tens of thousands of people seem to have the opportunity to escape alive. How long has it been since the Holy Demon Emperor country experienced such a fiasco? Maybe they don't even remember it.
Once upon a time, when facing the mortal empire, they didn't even need to use the powerful magic Legion, just relying on the Dragon Knight and the giant horse cavalry, they could easily defeat the opponent.
They are used to exploiting mortal empires, and are used to seeing themselves as gods, above all mortals. But today, they have to remember a cruel fact, that is, they are not gods, and they are not the weak ants who are bullied by them...
"Have you heard? The 4th Legion is in charge of the queen... ..." A soldier stared at the elite infantrymen carrying long spears in the distance, and said, "We will start to retreat tomorrow... I hope those aircraft of the other side will not fly to make trouble..."
Standing His comrade-in-arms was holding a straw stick in his mouth, and seemed to have no regard for his decent magician status: "Isn't it? I heard that when 1Legion retreated yesterday, a large group of the opponent's aircraft dispatched, and 1Legion couldn't raise its head. , that's a miserable one."
"More than two thousand people have been shot in a day. Who can afford this kind of war." The soldier who spoke first put his hand on the long sword and died for himself. Those colleagues are not worth it. Shaking his head, he sighed with emotion.
The loss of the Holy Demon Emperor at this time is completely irreparable. Maybe the Norma Empire will spit out the benefits of eating it. The immediate failure has caused the Holy Demon Emperor to lose a lot of magician, and it may not be able to recover its vitality in a few years.
What is even more terrifying is that the Alanhill Empire in front of us is still not sure whether the war will be stopped. If the opponent insists on fighting, how will the Holy Demon Emperor end? It is a serious problem.
War is a very strange thing, you can choose when to start, but there is no way to choose when to end - even the victorious side can't exactly control the time of the armistice, that's war. Uncertainty.
"When the time comes, it will be lively...More than 30,000 prisoners of the Holy Demon Emperor...Can you believe it? The Grand Consul estimates that his nose is crooked, how much he has to pay to change it These captives come back?" Another soldier said sarcastically with a bit of resentment.
In the beginning, everyone was reluctant to fight this war. After all, the war against the Norma Empire had almost exhausted the common people of the Holy Demon Emperor's country. At the beginning, everyone thought that the invasion of Higgs was just a small war against the mortal empire, so the opposition was not so harsh.
But now, the war has reached a dead end, and the Holy Demon Emperor has no way to win, and even a reconciliation has become somewhat unlikely. Dissatisfied with the decision of the parliament.
The minds of the people are determined, not only the common people of the mortal empire are unwilling to fight for a long time, but the common people of the Magic Empire are also human, and they are also unwilling to pay for the endless wars.
"We have never fought such a suffocating war... Even if the Eternal Empire taught us, we have never fought so badly..." The soldier who spoke first said with a wry smile.
He's also a veteran, having fought against the Eternal Empire. The two sides are still at a battle strength level, although the Eternal Empire is stronger and the magic is stronger, but everyone can barely fight a dozen, so as not to lose like this.
But as a Magic Empire, everyone knows that the Eternal Empire is nothing more than a Magic Empire that is stronger than the Holy Demon Emperor. To the west of the Eternal Empire, that ancient and mysterious country, Is the real strong existence.
"I don't know what this Alanhill can develop into..." Another soldier murmured while watching the remnants of the defeated soldiers who continuously passed by their camp.
In front of his eyes, behind the soldiers who had just passed by, were the wounded who could not see their heads. Some of the wounded were lying on the carriage pulled by the giant horses, and some of the wounded were lying on the backs of the beasts. on the shelf.
More wounded can only walk on their own legs. They are carrying their injured arms or have thick bandages on their heads. step westward.
This is the road they traveled when they came, and now they can only go back to where they started along this path. After paying a heavy price and sacrificing their friends or relatives, they got nothing but a painful memory.
On the second day when Alanhill started the southern counterattack, the Combat Unit of the Holy Demon Emperor began to retreat. They abandoned the entire salient, leaving only part of the army to support their defenses.
These remaining troops are destined to stay here, but no one knows how much the retreating troops can withdraw.
Alanhill's troops, who control the Rozroll area, are trying to expand their results. They are attacking north and east, shrinking the pockets of the encirclement step by step.
The Holy Demon Emperor's troops, who had lost air cover, were moving very slowly, and they had to move at night to avoid the threat of air power from the other side.
Regrettably, neither the Dragon Knight nor the giant horse cavalry are ideal night units, so whether it is to use the night to attack, or to use the night to retreat, For the army of the Holy Demon Emperor, it was no easy task.
After all, human beings are not used to being active at night. This habit is common to both mortals and magicians.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor are waiting for their own destiny with anxiety. Time was ruthlessly broken in the battle, and for the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor, the times had changed.
No one knows what kind of situation the Holy Demon Emperor will face next, because no one knows what the fate of a Magic Empire will be when it is defeated by a mortal empire.
On the side of Alanhill, the situation is not very optimistic. The Higgs area is working hard to absorb the wounded on the front line. The price paid by Alanhill this time of emerge victorious in every battle is a little too much. Everyone imagines.
On the frontal battlefield, the successive losses exceeded 100,000 people. The magician troops of the Holy Demon Emperor did not live up to their reputation. While their Dragon Knight troops were slaughtered by fighter jets, they also caused huge casualties to the Alanhill ground troops.
Most of the combat units under the 2nd Army have lost their offensive capabilities, so that the follow-up counterattack work can only be carried out by second-line troops such as the garrison regiment. Under the cover of part of the main force of the 2nd Army, the first counterattack launched by the 10 garrison regiments successfully drove the Holy Demon Emperor back to a place 100 kilometers away from Higsnar.
The encirclement is being compressed, and the Holy Demon Emperor, which has been unable to reinforce, has given up the supply of troops in the encirclement. The fast-consuming magic replenishment liquid reserve is the biggest enemy that the Holy Demon Emperor's troops insist on fighting.
After all, they can't get magic supplies in the forbidden magic realm, so this way of fighting completely relying on logistical supplies makes them even more afraid of being surrounded.
It's just that the encirclement is about to be formed, and it has become a fact that the army of the Holy Demon Emperor country in the pocket cannot get supplies, so I can only use one sentence to describe the army of the Holy Demon Emperor country in the encirclement now— - There is not much time left for them.
Compared to the Saint Demon Emperor troops in desperate situation, the current Alanhill troops at least have an absolute advantage in logistical supplies. Countless supplies and mobilized soldiers are heading to the front.
Although the Holy Demon Emperor has an obvious advantage in the battle damage ratio, the mortal empire also has its own advantages in terms of military strength - Alanhill mobilized more than 2 million troops, no matter what the number of the Holy Demon Emperor. How can't it come together.
The training system of magicians determines that their number is not too large, and the replenishment speed of magicians naturally cannot keep up with those Alanhill second-line garrison groups that can go to the front line after dozens of days of training...
When Alanhill's troops were continuously sent to the front line, and even the construction of the rear was not delayed, the Holy Demon Emperor country could only helplessly watch its own troops because of the two-front battle and the difficulty in mobilizing troops. The opponent keeps growing.
This can be clearly seen from the comparison of the strength of the air forces of the two sides: the strength of the two sides was evenly matched before, but now, the sky has been occupied by Alanhill's fighter jets, and these flying mortal weapons, The number is still increasing...
"Now all we can hope for is the mediation of the Eternal Empire..." Looking at the soldiers with broken armor and wounds, it seems that they are looking at their future. , this ordinary soldier of the Holy Demon Emperor said with a bitter smile.
"The Eternal Empire? They will take care of our lives? I estimate that the only one who can help us this time is..." The comrade-in-arms, who was also heavy-hearted, was nodded and agreed with him.
Hearing the other party's words, the soldier seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said, "Yeah... Look at those real gods, are you willing to give us a chance."
While they were talking, above their heads, in the sky far away, a shooting star pierced the sky.
