Chapter 1282 Burning Camp
"Quick, start setting fires immediately." After finishing several Ice Legion soldiers, the captains immediately led their subordinates to start lighting fires.
All the soldiers in West Asia City each brought a torch and a bundle of straw.
And this matter was also confessed by Narant.
Nalant knew that the soldiers of West Asia City were weaker than the soldiers of the Ice Legion.
Therefore, the first priority when rushing into the Ice Legion camp is not to kill the enemy.
Because even if they can kill a few more enemies by suddenness, they can still face the elite Ice Legion soldiers.
In addition, there is also the God of Ice sitting there, who can organize an effective counterattack once the Ice Legion reacts.
Then the final outcome will be that the West Asia City soldiers flee in confusion, or they may even be unable to escape at all and be directly surrounded and annihilated by the opponent.
Therefore, this first wave of fire is very important, doing everything possible to create chaos in the enemy camp.
It makes it impossible for the enemy to organize an effective counterattack, and even the God of Fire cannot restrict it in the face of this situation.
In that way, everything they did tonight would achieve half its purpose.
The next step is to take advantage of the chaos to harvest as many lives as possible from the Ice Legion soldiers.
Soon, as a West Asia City soldier threw straw and a torch onto the tent, fire gradually began to rise in the Ice Legion camp.
At first, no one in the camp noticed it, but as hundreds of tents were set alight, even a blind man knew something was going on in the camp.
As a result, the Ice Legion soldiers on duty when they saw him around immediately sounded the alarm.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
With the shouts, alarm bells sounded throughout the camp.
However, in this dark night, if you want to organize an effective counterattack, it will not take a while.
Even many soldiers who did not need to participate in tonight's battle and who were concerned about the safety of the camp took off their armor.
This sudden attack gave them no time to react.
"Quick, speed up, and make sure to set the Ice Legion's camp on fire as much as possible!"
When several captains saw their traces exposed, they no longer hid their identities, but started shouting loudly to urge their subordinates to speed up.
"Ah, Captain, this is the enemy's granary!"
At this moment, several West Asia City soldiers discovered a place where the Ice Legion stored supplies.
"Quickly, light them all up!"
The captain's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
Ever since, torches and bundles of straw were thrown into these supplies.
The fodder and wheat for the war horses burned more intensely than the tents, but in an instant the huge pillar of fire reached the sky.
"Lord Commander, look, there is fire over there!"
At this time, on the wall of West Asia City, the commander of West Asia City has been paying attention to the movements of the Ice Legion in the distance.
During this process, he constantly prayed for the blessing of the God of Fire.
When he heard the shouts from his subordinates, he immediately looked in the direction of the Ice Legion camp.
When he saw the fire that turned the sky red, he immediately looked at Nalant in surprise.
"Your Excellency Nalant, does this mean that our plan tonight has a high probability of success?"
"It's not a high probability, but it will definitely succeed!"
Nalant's words were full of confidence, which actually made the commander of West Asia City feel more at ease than ever before.
At this time, at least one-fifth of the area within the Ice Legion had been ignited by fire.
And with the intensity of the fire, the fire was still spreading towards other surrounding tents.
At this time, the soldiers in West Asia City finally stopped setting fires, because they had almost set off what should be set off.
"Everyone, kill, for the Flame Continent, for the Lord God of Flame!"
"Kill!"
As the captains issued orders, these West Asia City soldiers began to look for enemies to fight in the Ice Legion camp.
Many soldiers of the Human Ice Legion were only wearing thin linen shirts and hurriedly responded to the battle with only one weapon in their hands.
Within a few moments, he died in the hands of these soldiers from the West Asian city.
Even the chaos in the camp prevented the Ice Legion soldiers from organizing an effective defense.
They can only fight on their own, and then run or die.
"Damn, how did the enemy appear?"
At the same time, the Ice God also walked out of the divine tent. When he saw the sky-high fire on the side and rear of the camp, he suddenly surged with anger.
"Lord God, the enemy must have sneaked into the camp from the tunnel, because the walls and arrow towers around the camp are intact!" At this time, the leader of the Ice Legion had already wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned from the wooden wall in front. .
"Tunnel? Is it the one we dug?" The Ice God was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, Lord God! I don't know how they found our tunnel, dug it out quietly, and then sneaked into the camp from the tunnel and started setting fire to kill people!" The leader of the Ice Legion nodded immediately.
"These damn ants, how on earth do they know such things that they actually made such a plan to attack our camp!"
The Ice God already knew that he was being plotted.
I thought I could preserve my strength as long as I didn't attack.
Who would have thought that these soldiers from the Flame Continent would be so bold.
They no longer attack, but they still want to take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves.
"You should immediately organize a counterattack for me. We must surround and annihilate all these Flame Continent soldiers who sneak attack the camp!"
At this moment, the Ice God's face was livid, and he was obviously very angry.
In this way, it would be difficult to calm down his mood if he did not deal with the soldiers from West Asia City who sneaked into the camp.
But the leader of the Ice Legion had a troubled expression on his face, "Lord God, these soldiers in West Asia City are very cunning."
"They didn't start fighting immediately after they showed up. Instead, they set fire to the camp and burned it down."
"Now the fire has spread to many places. Our Ice Legion warriors in that area are in chaos and cannot organize a counterattack at all."
"Damn it, since that area can't be organized, then go to other areas to organize. Do you still need me to teach you?" The Ice God suddenly said angrily.
"Yes, yes, Lord God!"
The legion leader did not dare to say more and quickly ran towards other areas.
One of the reasons why there was no immediate mobilization before was that the soldiers in these areas were also in chaos due to sudden changes.
It also takes a lot of time to put on equipment and schedule.
More importantly, he did not dare to mobilize the soldiers in the camp without the Ice God's order.
This is also a rule that only exists when the Ice God himself is in charge.
Fortunately, now that I have received the order, I can start mobilizing.
While the leader of the Ice Legion here is still mobilizing soldiers, the soldiers in West Asia City are getting braver and braver as they fight.
Constantly harvesting the enemy's lives.
"Kill, don't let them escape!"
This time, they finally released the frustration and fear they had felt for months.
Who says that these legions of gods are invincible? They are not something that ordinary Flame Continent soldiers can deal with.
Now, they launched the attack directly in the camps of these Ice Legion soldiers.
And those Ice Legion soldiers who were rumored to be invincible in the past fled in panic under their attacks, abandoning their helmets and armor.
"Ah, what's going on in our camp?"
"Yes, why are there such strong fires and shouts of killing in our camp!"
At the same time, the battle was still continuing outside the Ice Legion camp.
However, the battle outside the camp was obviously at a disadvantage for West Asia City.
After all, West Asia City only has 200,000 troops outside the city, and they are still launching a blatant frontal attack.
If it weren't for the 20,000 elite cavalry who desperately tried to hold back the 50,000 Ice Legion cavalry.
Maybe the soldiers in West Asia City have already been defeated by now.
At this time, the soldiers of the Ice Legion were surprised to see the fire in the camp.
So the soldiers in West Asia City shouted: "You are going to fail. Your camp has been ambushed by an ambush arranged by our high priest!"
"Haha, run quickly. If you don't run, you will be dead!"
"Impossible, our Ice God is in the camp, your sneak attack is useless!" The soldiers of the Ice Legion were naturally in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible, because we have united with the God of Storms to wipe out your Ice Legion first!"
"In this way, we are willing to allow the Storm Legion to enter the entire Flame Continent, provided that they can no longer harm the civilians of our Flame Continent!"
Faced with the Ice Legion's doubts, the West Asia City soldiers responded immediately.
And it is still so certain and unquestionable.
Now, the Ice Legion soldiers were finally scared.
When they think about it, if these guys in West Asia City don't have much to rely on, they really don't dare to trouble them.
He actually dared to attack tonight and was even prepared to sneak attack them. Maybe he really had an agreement with the Storm Legion.
"Haha, warriors of West Asia City, kill, the Ice Legion will be finished soon!"
Upon seeing this, the captains of West Asia City shouted even more cheerfully.
After the morale of the Ice Legion soldiers dropped, the morale of the West Asia City soldiers improved.
The current decadent situation has changed, but it has forced the Ice Legion soldiers to retreat step by step.
However, after slightly repelling the attacking Ice Legion soldiers, the West Asia City soldiers did not continue the attack.
Instead, several captains shouted: "Let's support the cavalry pair first and take care of the Ice Legion's cavalry pair!"
After speaking, these captains took the lead and rushed towards the cavalry opponents who were still fighting in the melee.
But the soldiers of the Ice Legion hesitated after seeing it and did not pursue immediately.
"Damn it, how could this happen!"
Faced with this situation, the Ice Legion cavalry also started to curse.
Now that I and others are entangled, if the nearly 200,000 infantrymen from the rear join in, then I am afraid that they will only end up being annihilated.
The cavalry captain immediately said: "Retreat, everyone retreat!"
As he shouted, the Ice Legion cavalry began to flee on horseback.
However, West Asia City did not pursue it again. Instead, they took the opportunity to run towards the gate of West Asia City.
At this time, the gate of West Asia City has been opened, and soldiers began to return to the city one after another.
Knowing that the soldiers of West Asia City had safely returned to the city, the soldiers of the Ice Legion realized that something was wrong.
"We...were we deceived?"
If the enemy really united with the Storm Legion, they would definitely not return to the city now, but continue fighting.
"Shh, don't say anything!"
The soldier's questions were immediately suppressed.
Because if this matter is publicized, I'm afraid the Ice God will be angry.
"Lord Commander, we are back!"
At the same time, several captains who returned to the city immediately found the commander of West Asia City to report.
The face was full of excitement.
Today was not only a battle with the Ice Legion.
He even relied on tricks to trick the Ice Legion around.
This sense of accomplishment is definitely comparable to winning a big battle.
"Well, you did a good job tonight. Go down and take the soldiers to rest first, but don't relax. You must be ready for battle at any time!"
The commander of West Asia City was actually very excited.
It's just that the team in the Ice Legion camp has not withdrawn yet, so there is no messenger to reward these subordinates for the frontal attack.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
As all his subordinates retreated, the commander of West Asia City couldn't help but look at Nalant and asked respectfully: "Your Excellency Nalant, I wonder when the soldiers in the camp can retreat?"
"There's no rush, the results aren't big enough yet!"
Narante spoke soothingly again.
Hearing this, the commander of West Asia City opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
Tonight is going very smoothly according to Nalant's plan.
Moreover, he was warned by the commanders of several cities to negotiate, but he was too wise to say anything more.
In fact, the choice of the commander of West Asia City was very wise.
Because Narant always judged when to retreat based on the progress of the situation.
At this time, the swift eagles in the sky and the bees will send him a steady stream of messages.
Inform the Ice Legion of their status.
At this time, the Ice Legion was able to organize soldiers from other areas, but they could not be sent to the battlefield immediately, so naturally they could not retreat.
Otherwise, if you finally attack once, you won't have such a chance next time.
The results that can be expanded should naturally be expanded to the maximum.
"Lord Commander, Lord God asked you, have you organized a counterattack?"
The Ice God was very dissatisfied with the enemy's rampage in the Ice Legion camp.
This is already the second time someone has been sent to urge me.
"Okay, okay, you go back and tell Lord God that the 500,000-strong army has been assembled and can go immediately to encircle and suppress the raiding defenders of West Asia City!" The leader of the Ice Legion was also under great pressure.
"OK!"
After the messenger left, the leader of the Ice Legion did not dare to neglect and immediately issued the order to dispatch.
Soon, half a million Ice Legion troops spread out in a fan shape.
At this time, the soldiers of West Asia City were still hunting down the unorganized and abandoned Ice Legion soldiers.
They felt that tonight's battle was definitely the smoothest and most glorious battle they and others had ever encountered since they became soldiers.
"Your Excellency, you can let the soldiers retreat!"
At the same time, Nalant, who was on the city wall, finally issued a retreat order to the commander of West Asia City.
"Okay, okay! Your Excellency Nalant!"
The commander of West Asia City immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then he quickly called his subordinates and blew the retreat horn.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The loud horn resounded through the night sky in an instant, reaching the Ice Legion camp. (End of chapter)
