Chapter 1338 The Grievances of the Coalition Forces
"Isn't this tantamount to playing with a few gods, letting them see hope first, and then destroying this hope!"
"Haha, now I finally understand why the God of War called that boy from Io continent a blasphemer that day, because that boy had too many bad ideas."
"No matter who encounters a guy like him, I'm afraid they will gnash their teeth and want to have him ripped off and sent to the stake!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the army of gods blowing the retreat horn, and the mighty army of more than 600,000 people began to retreat, all the inner realm gods laughed from ear to ear.
They're just here to have fun.
In this way, whichever party makes a fool of themselves, or a particularly strange fool, will naturally be happier.
In particular, the coalition of gods was much stronger than Nalant's army in their eyes.
It is a rare thing to be so defeated by Nalant.
What is certain is that no matter whether the coalition of gods can capture Nalant this time, when the inner domain gods return, their battle today will definitely be widely circulated.
By then, the "glorious deeds" of the God of Waves and others will probably be spread across all the continents in the inner domain.
The God of Waves and other gods did not know that they and others would become famous in the inner realm in the future. At this time, they were very unhappy because of the retreat of the army.
Unexpectedly, Nalant's defense lines were more teeth-gnashing than the last.
Although the loss this time was not huge, it was extremely insulting.
"Everyone, what should we do now? It's basically impossible to attack that hillside."
"If those damn Flame Legions continue to pour water, even if we send more people to cut the ice, it will be in vain." The God of Waves looked at the other gods with a gloomy expression.
"Now it seems that we can only attack the trench areas on the left and right sides. Although filling in the trenches will take more time, it is still safer than the seemingly simple passages in the center!"
"It seems like this is the only way to go!"
Several gods have no other better way at the moment.
After all, that breakthrough became an unsolvable problem with the blessing of the Lightning Legion.
It is better to think of a solution from the trenches on both sides step by step.
The trenches on both sides seemed to be difficult to move, and it would take a lot of money to break through, but at least there were losses but there were also gains.
Immediately, several gods issued orders again, and then the 600,000-strong army was directly divided into three groups.
Among them, 500,000 coalition soldiers attacked both sides of the hillside, leaving only 100,000 troops to continue to pretend to attack the central wall, which was regarded as a feint attack.
Woohoo!
As the horn sounded, the allied forces of gods launched another attack, and fierce battles broke out on both sides of the hillside.
The Flame Legion mobilized long archers and magic cannons to continuously attack the coalition of gods.
The Allied Forces of Gods could only carry their shields and use long bows to suppress them. At the same time, the cover team began to transport baskets of soil from the foot of the mountain up the mountain.
Because at this time, even on both sides of the hillside, the slope was too steep, making it impossible for the carriage to move forward.
But what was originally a battle involving more and less was suddenly turned into a stalemate war of attrition by a group of gods.
And what is consumed is the lives of the soldiers of the divine alliance.
"Lord Nalant, the coalition of gods has given up attacking the wall. They have begun to use heavy troops to attack the trenches on both sides of the hillside again." Soon, the Acropolis commanders saw the enemy's movements and immediately came to Nalant. Make a report.
After hearing this, Narant couldn't help but complain, "These guys, I originally set up trenches and wooden stakes on both sides to let them focus on attacking the walls in the middle."
"It's good now, they are willing to give up the easier access passage in the middle, and instead focus on grabbing the two sides."
"In this case, you also immediately mobilize some troops to defend on both sides. I will continue to send girls from the Lightning Legion to support later."
"Our main purpose now is to do everything possible to consume the enemy's vitality and make those gods feel pain."
"When the time comes when they know it hurts, they may retreat!"
Nalant immediately gave instructions to the commander of Beitecheng who was reporting.
This coalition of gods has a total of 8 million people, and our own side only has 1.7 million people. It is absolutely impossible to annihilate them all.
Nalant had never thought about it, after all, the difficulty was definitely hellish.
Therefore, Nalant's idea from the beginning to the end was to beat up the coalition of gods.
They don't feel bad about losing half a million legionnaires, but that's a loss of one million.
It doesn’t hurt to lose one million legionnaires, so let’s lose two million.
Nalant didn't believe that these gods really didn't even plan to keep any of them back.
"Yes, sir!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng responded immediately and ran away in a hurry.
Nalant quickly sent an order to Vivian, asking her to arrange for a thousand talented girls to go to both sides of the hillside.
The reason why Nalant used the Lightning Legion in the past was to attack with tens of thousands of people at once.
But now they are all transferring one or two thousand, not because Nalant is afraid of killing too many enemies.
It's because this time they are not attacking others, but being attacked by others.
In this way, for the sake of insurance, he always needs to leave some room for himself and leave some Lightning Legion girls behind just in case.
After all, when attacking others, if the girls' natural power is used up, they will have to rest for a day or two before continuing to attack.
But when you are surrounded by enemies, they won't give you a chance to breathe.
At that time, I am afraid that you will be killed while you are sick, so unless it is absolutely necessary, the Lightning Legion cannot devote all of it, and at least half of them must be guaranteed to be available for rotation.
And now Nalant doesn't know how long he will be besieged. Girls are human beings too, and they definitely need to rest when they are tired.
In this way, one or two thousand allows Narant to rotate easily.
After receiving the order, two thousand gifted girls soon divided into left and right and went to the battlefield on both sides.
After arriving, the girls first started to cool down and snow. After the temperature on both sides reached a bone-chilling level, a hundred of them started to rain.
Although the weather in the immediate area was too cold, the rain turned into snowflakes.
But if the distance is a little further, there won't be such a problem. After the rain falls, it sprinkles on the soldiers of the alliance of gods like ice rain.
Immediately, the soldiers of the divine coalition began to wail and curse again.
Snowflakes melt very slowly and penetrate into the skin very slowly.
But rainwater is different. It penetrates directly into the clothes, no matter how thick they are, it is useless.
Of course, this time the gods did not issue any further orders to retreat.
Because there are no icebergs on the left and right sides, such a normal attack is still continuing, and it is not in vain.
Naturally, the manpower cannot be withdrawn.
"That damn boy, after we break through his camp, I will definitely deal with all his lightning legions as blasphemers."
"God of the Wind, that boy can be treated as a blasphemer, and first put him in ice water, then put him on the fire pillar to roast, and let him taste all kinds of pain."
"But I don't think we can kill those girls from the Lightning Legion. We should divide those talented girls among ourselves, so that they may become one fighting force in the future!"
"That's true. That Nalant can be tortured severely, but we just have to ensure that all of those talented girls are captured alive!"
When several gods saw that it was windy and rainy again on the hillsides on the left and right sides, they immediately gritted their teeth in anger.
However, at this time, they had already begun to deal with Nalant and the Lightning Legion.
"Okay, let's wait until we break through that kid's camp to talk about these things. Now that kid has started to snow and rain on both sides again. Later, everyone will give orders and let the soldiers start rotating!"
"No problem. Although that kid has a lightning army, we have more people and we will wear him out!"
As a result, all the gods chose the most helpless method, which was to let their subordinates take turns to attack.
After all, in such a cold weather, if you don't rotate after getting wet, you may collapse in a few hours.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything else, but the number of people was absolutely large.
By replacing an offensive staff member every hour, unnecessary attrition can be avoided and the intensity of the offense can be maintained.
In this way, both the Divine Alliance and Nalant began a war of attrition.
In this war of attrition, although the coalition of gods may eventually pay a lot of casualties.
But the outcome is also doomed, and Nalant's third path is definitely undefendable.
It is only a matter of time before it is breached now.
Faced with such a situation, Narant naturally understood.
So he is also going all out to arrange the last two lines of defense here.
Knowing that the Allied Forces of Gods were willing to spend more time and consume more soldiers, they also chose to attack the trench areas on both sides steadily.
Narant simply changed the previous arrangement.
First, the Goblin Lumba was called and asked to dig out all the Fury of Glory that was originally buried under the fourth line of defense wall.
Then it was all laid underground within the fourth line of defense.
In addition, more trenches were dug on the fourth line of defense, and heavy rain also fell outside the fourth line of defense, allowing the ground to absorb moisture, which would later freeze the ground and freeze it.
Of course, because the area of the trenches on both sides is several times wider than the walled area, it is impossible to form the thick ice shell of the walled area.
Such ice on both sides will only simply increase the enemy's ability to move. It will not make it difficult for the enemy to move like the dirt slope outside the third wall.
After this fourth line of defense is arranged, it is the last line of defense.
It can be said that Nalant invested a lot of money in the last line of defense, because it can be said that this is the lifeline of their army.
In this way, Narant had begun efforts to build and fortify the wall, using two hundred thousand men.
And this wall will cover the entire gap, instead of having trenches on both sides like before, forcing the enemy to change the direction of attack.
Because the lessons learned from the previous lines of defense made Nalant understand that the enemy is not afraid of wasting time and effort, but is afraid of not being able to start.
In this way, he wants to make this fifth line of defense into a situation where there is no way to attack the whole line.
Fortunately, the slope of this hill is in a figure-eight shape.
That is to say, it is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.
Although there is a width of four or five miles below, up here, it is only a little more than two miles.
And coupled with the delays in the previous lines of defense, Narant has enough time to improve the fifth line of defense.
As for the fifth line of defense, in addition to the expected height of the wall of 20 meters, the slope in front also formed a 60-degree slope due to the digging of more than 100,000 people.
And on this slope, it will be like the third line of defense, forming a wet skating surface 70 to 80 meters long for him.
On both sides of the passage, Nalant has also piled up breakthroughs. When the time comes, the magic armored vehicles will shoot on both sides.
Facing this three-sided attack from the front, left and right, Narant felt that if he still couldn't defend, then there was nothing he could do.
Just like that, time flew by and it was two days later.
After two full days of strong attack, both sides of the third line of defense were finally hollowed out by the Allied Forces of Gods.
The trenches that were originally five to six meters deep, more than ten meters wide, and had barbs were all filled in.
The wooden stakes inserted diagonally were also sawn one by one by the coalition of gods.
Next, all it takes is a charge from the Allied Forces of Gods to rush directly in front of the Flame Legion and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
And all the soldiers of the Alliance of Gods have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
It can be said that the anger that has been suppressed in the past two days has been waiting for this time to pour out.
Because in the past two days, they were not only attacked by biting ice and snow, but also lost more than 300,000 men under the bombardment of the Flame Legion's arrows and magic cannons.
Although 300,000 soldiers were allocated to each of the gods' legions, the losses of even 100,000 were not enough.
But all the time, I could only be passively beaten, watching my companions fall one by one, but I was helpless against the enemy. This was so frustrating.
"Sound the horn immediately and order the Flame Legion on the third line of defense to retreat!"
However, what makes these gods' coalition soldiers die is that even if they are about to break through the third line of defense.
But the hearty battle that they imagined did not happen.
Because just when they were about to remove the last shot of barbed stakes, a horn sounded from the mountain.
Woohoo!
"Legion of Flame, retreat, everyone retreat to the fourth line of defense!"
"retreat!"
With the sound of the horn, the Flame Legion, which was still shooting arrows desperately, and the Lightning Legion, which was raining rain and snow, began to withdraw towards the fourth line of defense unhurriedly.
"Damn it, don't retreat if you have the guts, you cowards!"
"Yeah, you damn guys, you should stay and confront us head-on!"
"Stay and face off, you cowards!"
As the Flame Legion retreated, frustrated roars immediately erupted from the coalition of gods.
But the soldiers of the God Alliance could only watch with gritted teeth as the Flame Legion retreated safely.
Click!
With a crisp sound, a gap was finally opened in the last wooden thorn fence.
However, the Allied Forces of Gods did not emit the same cheers and roars as before.
Because the enemy has already run away.
And they know that although this third line of defense has been breached.
But then there is a fourth line of defense and a fifth line of defense.
It's like a damn nightmare, endlessly frustrating.
The enemy is like a disgusting reptile in a latrine, mocking them unscrupulously, but they can't reach down and strangle it to death. (End of chapter)
