Chapter 761, retreat as advance
Although the demon clan led by Daniels is from the tropics and has become accustomed to the rainy season in the tropics, even in the rainy season in the tropics, this rain has not been so continuous.
The first few days were fine, the demon army had prepared a lot of dry wood and food, and even if it was raining heavily outside, they could stay in the house and talk leisurely.
But as time went on, everything changed.
Although the house can shelter them from the wind and rain, it cannot block the ubiquitous moisture.
After more than ten days of torrential rain without seeing the sun, all the places that were taken care of by the dragon warriors of the Condor Empire began to be constantly eroded by moisture and became wet.
The clothes worn by the demon warriors were wet, the bedding they covered was wet, the dry firewood stored in the wooden house had been thoroughly wet, and even the most important food had been wet with the pervasive moisture, and it had begun to gradually become moldy and deteriorate.
The living environment has suddenly become so harsh that even demonic warriors with powerful bodies cannot live in such an environment for a long time.
After realizing that the situation was very unfavorable to his side, Daniels decisively abandoned the Zhouzhi defense line, withdrew the demon army stationed in Zhouzhi to a place far away from the main tributaries of Weishui, and began to build a new defense line.
Although the magic attacks of the dragon warriors are very incomprehensible, they are not real dragons after all, and the coverage of their ability to summon the wind and rain is limited, and they cannot cover the entire south bank of Weishui.
It has rained heavily in Zhou Zhicheng for more than ten days in a row, but the inland area close to Qinling, which is dozens of kilometers away from Zhou Zhicheng, has been sunny these days, and the sun can also be seen from the opposite Condor Army, so it is obvious where the problem is.
After Daniels discovered this strange situation, he immediately thought of the dragon pool located in the middle of the Lost Continent.
It is rumored that the Dragon Pool has the ability to turn decay into magic, which can allow ordinary people to ascend to the sky in one step and obtain some special abilities.
It's just that only those who have atmospheric luck can come out alive in the dragon pool, and if the luck is not enough, then they can only turn into a pile of white bones in the pool.
All the high-level beings living on the Lost Continent are aware of the existence of the Dragon Pool, but the ancestors of each clan strictly prohibit the children of their own clan from entering the Dragon Pool.
Therefore, for the cognition of the dragon pool, Daniels and others are still in the state of legend passed down by word of mouth, and do not know the specific attributes of the dragon pool.
But one thing he was sure of was that a hundred people would go in, and it would probably not be possible for even one person to get out.
The ability that the Condor Army is now using to continue raining in a local area is very similar to the ability of some pseudo-dragon bloodlines in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Thinking of Ning Yuan sending thousands of ordinary people into the Dragon Transformation Pool in order to obtain these pseudo-dragon bloodlines, Daniels's jealousy of Ning Yuan deepened.
Recalling that when Ning Yuan was lost in the continent, he actually succeeded in bringing back the Seraph, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, Daniels had an urge to avoid Ning Yuan in his heart.
It's just that he retreated directly without a battle, and he couldn't explain it to the people who supported him, so he was going to wait and see if he could find an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and inflict heavy losses on the enemy in one fell swoop.
Daniels is also a ruthless character, even the 200,000 demon army trapped in the Baoji region can be directly given up without blinking, let alone give up some land that can be recaptured as long as he has the strength.
In order to resist the magical attack of the Condor Army, Daniels not only withdrew Zhou Zhi's defenders far away from Weishui, but also ordered to abandon all cities near Weishui, directly shrinking the defensive circle of the demon army to the inland area near the Qinling Mountains.
Although Daniels gave up a lot of land along the river at once, he succeeded in abolishing the strategic threat of the dragon warriors, and the situation suddenly returned to relying on the army to decide the victory.
In the face of Daniels's quick decision, Ning Yuan's side also reacted quickly, and as soon as the demon army withdrew on the front foot, the rat and rabbit scouts in charge of ground reconnaissance immediately began to follow.
After making sure that there were no traps or ambushes on the ground, Ning Yuan immediately led the army to fully press, took over the territories abandoned by the demon clan, and then continued to confront the demon army.
Daniels was also quite decisive this time, in order not to leave a chance for the Condor Army to break through, Daniels directly gave up all the areas east of Lintong and withdrew all the demon armies to the south of Chang'an.
After withdrawing all the troops, Daniels rebuilt the second line of defense with Chang'an, Baqiao, and Huxian as the core, and firmly protected several passages to Hanzhong behind him.
After building the second line of defense, the current demon army can attack and retreat, and once again firmly grasp the initiative in their own hands.
As long as they are not attacked into Hanzhong by the Condor Army from several other channels, then they will not have any worries.
Although it is not as convenient as other places to transport grain and grass materials to the frontline area through Shu Road, as long as it does not encounter the bad weather of heavy snow and mountain closure in winter, it can still ensure the various supplies of the frontline army.
Moreover, Qin Ling directly blocked the powerful cavalry legion of the Condor Army from the outside, as long as some demon scouts were arranged on the cliffs on both sides of some main roads, the grain route of the demon army would not encounter any danger.
Daniels' strategy of retreating directly handed the problem to the Condor.
If the Condor doesn't want to continue this confrontation, then they have to take the initiative to attack.
And once the Condor Army takes the initiative to attack, the demon army as the defender will have a geographical advantage at this time.
With a variety of fortifications, they can inflict heavy damage on the Condor who take the initiative to attack.
Although he has been calculated by the Condor Army several times in a row, Daniels knows very well that the Condor Army is now the more anxious side.
The Condor Army is strong and powerful, but all indications show that in this new continent, the popularity of the Condor Army is relatively poor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies all over the world.
So now that the battle has developed to this situation, Daniels is no longer in a hurry.
He only wanted to drag on with the Condor Army on the other side indefinitely, because he knew that those forces who had ceded the Hanzhong Basin to him for free would definitely not be able to sit still.
Since this is the case, then he will come to the static brake and wait and see what happens.
