Chapter 1271 The Wave Legion Suffered Heavy Losses

"kill!"

This night's battle between the two sides can be said to be getting more and more anxious.

With the addition of 200,000 Wave Legion members inside the tunnel and outside the city, the morale of the Wave Legion was greatly boosted.

Not only did the offensive outside the city wall become more fierce, but the soldiers around the tunnel also began to attack the defense line of the defenders inside the city.

According to previous news, the number of defenders in the city is less than 300,000 at most, and the remaining 200,000 are civilians and coolies.

And there are at least 150,000 Gray Rock City soldiers on the city wall, so there will basically be no more than 200,000 in the city.

In this regard, several captains of the Wave Legion are also very confident.

"Everyone rush out and defeat the enemy. Then we can occupy the entire Gray Rock City. For the sake of the great God of Waves, we rush!"

With shouts and shouts, the Legion of the God of Waves really began to push back against the Gray Rock City soldiers.

The leader of Gray Rock City, who was supervising the battle at the city gate, received the news and was not anxious at all.

His army is still gathering, and none of these enemies in the city will be able to escape later.

So he simply said: "Then let the soldiers gradually retreat, and then lead all the soldiers of the Wave Legion away."

"When they are far enough away from the tunnel, let all the ambushing soldiers wipe them out."

"This time, we have to fight a good fight!"

"Yes, Lord Commander!"

As a result, except for the city gate, the defenders in the gray stone city began to gradually retreat.

The people of the Wave Legion didn't know the situation at all, and thought that the Gray Stone soldiers really began to be unable to withstand the attacks of themselves and others.

Not only did they convey the message of impending victory to the God of Waves, but they also became more and more courageous as they fought, capturing all the way from the west of the city to the Central Street.

"Lord God, good news. After we sent additional troops, the legion warriors in the city have suppressed the enemy defenders."

"Now the enemy defenders have retreated to Central Street."

"Well, very good, let the legionnaires take over the Gray Rock City as soon as possible!" The God of Waves nodded after hearing this, very satisfied.

But not long after the God of Waves said these words, the situation in the city suddenly began to reverse.

Commander Angna Graystone heard the news that the enemy was far away from the tunnel, and he immediately gave the order to attack to the ambushed soldiers.

"kill!"

Immediately, a group of as many as 100,000 gray stone soldiers began to rush towards the tunnel exit from the west wall of the city.

Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Wave Legion near the city wall in the west of the city.

These are also specially designed to prevent sneak attacks from behind by the enemy.

But the problem is that one hundred thousand versus ten thousand, these ten thousand wave legion soldiers naturally have no possibility of resistance.

After just one confrontation, they were beaten back by the gray stone soldiers.

In the end, these ten thousand people retreated to the tunnel exit, desperately trying to keep the entire army's safe passage. .

While resisting desperately, the captain also knew that the situation was not good and immediately sent someone to inform other teams.

However, the Gray Rock defenders naturally would not give him that much time to wait for the other Wave Legions to return.

"Kill, seize the tunnel entrance immediately, and destroy the tunnel entrance!"

"kill!"

As these Gray Rock City defenders charged forward regardless of their own safety, it didn't take long for the Wave Legion soldiers to run away and disperse, and were directly driven out of the tunnel area.

After the Gray Rock defenders drove away these Wave Legion soldiers, they immediately sealed all three entrances to the city.

When the cave entrance was sealed, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then only five thousand people were left to guard the tunnel, and the rest immediately set off towards the Central Street, preparing to attack the Wave Legion soldiers from both front and rear.

"Oops, we are surrounded, evacuate quickly!"

The soldiers of the Wave Legion on Central Street were still pushing hard at this time.

As the Gray Rock City soldiers continued to retreat from before, they felt that they had the upper hand today.

However, when they faintly heard the call from behind, the captains couldn't help but be startled.

"Morton, don't be joking. If you affect the mission assigned by the God of Waves, you will be punished."

Even so, several captains still couldn't believe it, so one of them asked tentatively.

"Chas, how dare I joke about such a thing? Just before, a team of more than 100,000 enemies appeared at the west wall of the city."

"It didn't take long for us to be beaten back steadily. Now the tunnel entrance has been occupied by them. If we don't think of a way, we will be trapped in this gray stone city."

The captain named Morton immediately spoke anxiously.

"A hundred thousand people are coming from the west side of the city. Isn't the leader of Gray Rock City ready to defend the city wall? Has he dispatched all the soldiers on the city wall? The other captains looked at each other.

"kill!"

At this moment, the cry of killing came from behind them.

"No, we must evacuate immediately!"

"I'll lead the troops to cut off the rear, and you'll be responsible for breaking out and retaking the tunnel entrance!"

"good!"

Seeing that the situation was true, several commanders dared to neglect, and immediately began to divide the work and clearly prepare for a breakout.

Woohoo!

Originally, they did not use the horn during the attack, because since entering the city, they have been attacking the enemy step by step, and they only need to slowly expand their formation.

But now that I choose to retreat and break out, I need this horn.

Otherwise, the soldiers would be scattered throughout the streets in the dark, making it impossible to get orders quickly.

After hearing the horn sound, the legionnaires who still felt that victory was in sight could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed when they heard the screams from behind.

"Lord Commander, they are beginning to retreat!"

At this moment, the people in Gray Rock City also noticed the movements of the Wave Legion.

"Quickly, convey the order. All the defenders in the city will attack the enemy forces in the city with all their strength. No enemy is allowed to let go!"

Commander Huiyan knew that the opportunity had finally come, so he did not hesitate to issue the order to attack.

Woohoo!

Following the order from Commander Gray Rock, a second trumpet sounded in the city.

"Kill, and nearly 350,000 Gray Stone soldiers began to surround and suppress the Wave Legion soldiers in this city."

For a moment, the soldiers of the God of Waves Legion in the city only felt that they were surrounded by gray stone defenders.

"What's going on?" At this time, people outside the city finally noticed something was wrong.

The horn sounds are naturally different between them and the Flame Continent.

In this way, you can immediately tell who belongs to it by virtue of the horn rhythm.

However, precisely because it was confirmed that the horn giving the retreat order belonged to their Wave Legion, the God of Waves and his subordinate commanders were a little shocked.

Wow! Wow!

At this moment, a dragon knight fell from the sky not far away.

"Lord God, my subordinates saw from the air that the army attacking the city has been surrounded."

"The Gray Rock City defenders have occupied the tunnel entrance."

It turned out that this dragon knight was here to report the situation.

"How is this possible? How many defenders in Gray Rock City can actually surround the 200,000-strong army in the city?"

The God of Waves was still a little unbelievable at this time.

Not to mention the number of soldiers, even if the opponent really had that many, why did he become the party being ambushed when it was clearly a sneak attack?

At this moment, a small group of soldiers ran out of the tunnel panting.

"Lord God, what's wrong, there are at least over 300,000 enemies in the city."

"They took advantage of our legion's army to attack Central Street, and a hundred thousand graystone defenders attacked us from behind."

This team of people was specially sent by Morton to return the message.

It's just because the tunnel is a bit far away that I'm running back now.

"More than three hundred thousand?"

After receiving the report from this small group of soldiers, the God of Waves finally lost his composure.

"Immediately dispatch another 100,000 troops to support the city and ensure the safe retreat of the legions in the city!"

"Yes, Lord Kami!"

The commander-in-chief did not dare to neglect, and immediately began to dispatch teams to prepare for rescue.

It's just that since the leaders of Gray Rock City have planned to keep all the Wave Legion soldiers in the city, how could they fail to consider the continued increase in the number of enemies outside the city.

In this way, not long after these additional personnel entered the tunnel, they discovered that there were bursts of smoke coming from the other end of the tunnel.

If it is in the wilderness, the smoke will naturally be nothing, at most it will choke people.

But in this tunnel, it is absolutely fatal.

Seeing this situation, the most powerful captain immediately issued an order to retreat. The captain himself relied on his good strength to explore forward.

When we arrived at the front, we discovered that the smoke was caused intentionally by the enemy's fire.

On top of this, the enemy has already destroyed the exit.

In this way, it is absolutely impossible to enter the city through the tunnel.

"What did you say?"

When the captain walked out of the tunnel and reported to the God of Waves, the God of Waves suddenly turned pale.

"Lord God, the enemy not only set fire to the tunnel, but also destroyed the city exit of the passage. We can no longer enter the city through the passage!"

Hearing this, the captain repeated it towards the God of Waves.

boom!

The God of Waves raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table.

"How did it become like this?"

The God of Waves roared.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he roared, the facts could not be changed.

Gradually, the sky turned from dawn to early morning. As the first ray of sunlight appeared, the battle situation in the city finally became clear.

Because they were unfamiliar with the terrain and were surrounded, the Wave Legion had fought less and less at this time, and could only huddle together in the city and be besieged by the graystone defenders.

The graystone defenders occupied various stone wall roofs and used longbows to kill the enemy most effectively.

Coupled with the cooperation of his companions on the ground, at least nearly half of the teams entering the city have been killed.

There was no suspense about the ensuing battle, because the tunnel was blocked, and the Wave Legion soldiers in the city became caged birds, unable to escape anymore.

After the transplantation, the battle in the city finally ended, and all nearly 200,000 Wave Legion soldiers in the city were annihilated.

Looking at the corpses of Wave Legion soldiers on the ground, Commander Gray Stone stood on the roof, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

In the past few months, because their Flame Continent lost the protection of the God of Fire, they were invaded by these gods' legions and had no power to resist.

The news coming from the front is all news that the city land has been captured by the enemy.

What's more important is that these legions of gods are extremely cruel, killing soldiers and civilians in the city at every turn.

Even though the soldiers of the Flame Continent suppressed a surge of rage in their hearts, they were still helpless.

It wasn't until today that they finally had the opportunity to vent their anger on the Flame Legion.

And all of this was done personally by his leader, Gray Rock.

In this way, he felt like he would remember this moment for the rest of his life.

Of course, the reason why he was able to do all this was entirely because of the Nalant who appeared yesterday night.

This made the leader of Gray Rock feel a little dazed, and he couldn't help but think of the rumors that kept coming back from the south a few days ago.

Rumor has it that the southern Io invaders were different from other divine invaders.

They did not massacre and plunder the captured cities like other legions of gods.

Even the temple of the God of Fire has been preserved, allowing the civilians in the city to continue to believe in the God of Fire.

Regarding this news, the high priest told them that this was probably a trick used by the enemy.

Because no intruder would do such a thing.

Before Commander Huiyan led him, he was indeed doubtful and felt that what the high priest said made sense.

But now, he couldn't help but wonder, was the rumor about Nalant really false?

If it was fake, why would he wait for someone else?

If there was no news from Nalant, Commander Gray Rock knew that he would have been defeated last night.

Because in the face of the sudden attack by the Wave Legion, even if they had a slight numerical advantage, they could not prevent the city gate from being opened.

But once the city gate is opened, all their advantages will no longer exist, and they will be crushed by the Wave Legion.

Woohoo!

Just then, the sound of a horn came from outside the city.

Commander Graystone knew that it was the retreat horn of the Wave Legion.

Following this horn, the Wave Legion, which had been storming the city wall before, finally retreated.

As for the Wave Legion, in last night's battle, the number of corpses of soldiers left behind in and outside the city was at least 230,000.

On his side, the casualties were less than 30,000.

It's just a fraction of the enemy's.

It can be said that this time is a real victory.

"Lord Commander, the Holy City has sent a messenger. Your Excellency the High Priest, please go to the Holy City immediately to report on the battle situation in Gray Rock City!"

Not long after, a subordinate came to Commander Huiyan.

Commander Huiyan was not surprised. Although he had not sent a herald to report the matter, there were obviously people in the city arranged by the high priest to understand the situation.

So, Commander Huiyan gave instructions to his soldiers and quickly rushed to Huiyan City.

In this matter, the Wave Legion outside the city will definitely not choose to attack in the short term, so he does not need to worry about being in danger if he is no longer in Gray Rock City.

…

Inside the Flame Holy City Temple.

When Commander Huiyan walked into the temple, he immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully to the statue of the God of Fire.

Then he half-knelt down towards the Flame High Priest and said, "I have seen His Excellency the High Priest!"

"Well, Commander Gray Rock, I heard that you defeated the Wave Legion's invasion last night?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, although the results are still being tallied, I can guarantee that at least 200,000 enemy soldiers were annihilated last night."

Commander Huiyan immediately responded and told the results of his battle last night.

"The result of the battle is two hundred thousand? Are you sure?" the high priest asked.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, I am very sure!" Commander Huiyan confirmed immediately.
