The fierce battle was in full swing, the artillery fire was in full swing, the divine light was shining, and the corpses of the void creatures were everywhere.

Although the army under the command of Emperor Shi Tian had the advantage of geographical advantages, it was not without casualties, on the contrary, the casualties were very huge.

In addition to the millions of ko-headed aluminum bats that were damaged at the beginning, the Minotaur troops on the front line also suffered heavy losses.

Princess Lionheart's side is a little better, except that there are occasional mistakes, being sucked to death by void creatures, or being killed by their spells, but in general there are not many of them.

But Alexander's side is different, the fate of the frontal rigid void creatures is very miserable, even if there are a large number of long-range attacks to contain it, even if there are a large number of wrestler cannon fodder to attract firepower, the Minotaur troops on the city wall still sacrifice a lot.

From time to time, minotaurs are torn to pieces by their tentacles, although they also have heavy armor and can also burst into vindictive defense.

However, in the face of the heavy tentacles of the void creatures, they had no effect at all, and they were basically smashed into meatloaf on the spot.

And Alexander is also a ruthless man, he will replenish as much as he sacrifices at the front.

After all, the first wall is the strongest steel wall, and if you can't kill and injure a lot of enemy troops under this wall, then the less solid walls behind it will be even less important.

But even if it's a steel wall, under the spells of those gold-level void creatures in the distance, you can't hold it for long.

The destructive effect of space spells on entities is very terrifying, and a space concussion ball can shake a dozen or 20-meter-thick steel walls into iron powder alive.

And from time to time, there will be a spatial blade, and a deep crack can be seen directly in the city wall.

Of course, the steel city wall tens of meters thick was not so easy to destroy, after all, it lasted for several hours.

After a few hours, the steel walls were almost in tatters, even a dozen meters of one layer had been cut off, and there were gaps in a few places, all of which were large gaps that could barely pass through the void creatures.

Although it was temporarily blocked by heavy firepower, as the gap became more and more large, the casualties and pressure on the front line gradually increased.

Eventually, Alexander felt a little overwhelmed and ordered a retreat to the second line of defense.

But retreat is not so easy, there are two or three million troops stationed at the head of the long city, this is not something that can be walked if you want to, not only must you retreat in batches, but you must also leave behind people to block.

There is no doubt that Alexander is also a generation of famous generals and cannot go wrong in this place, he made an evacuation plan early on and even conducted special training.

So as soon as he gave the order, his troops withdrew very quickly and in their own order.

First, heavy artillery at the front, then precious mage troops, and finally minotaur and orc archer troops.

Of course, when they evacuate, there will be millions of magic-blessed wrestlers left behind to give them time to buy safe toilets.

The evacuation of the entire force also took nearly an hour, and during this time, the casualties became even greater, and even the void creatures hit the city several times.

Alexander even sometimes had to rely on a large number of golden troops to form a commando team to stabilize the situation of the city wall.

After seeing Alexander's troops successfully retreat to the second city wall, Scott and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all praised in unison: "I didn't expect that this necromancer you took in really has a strong command ability, and more than 2 million troops have withdrawn, and they are all busy and chaotic in an orderly manner, and finally come back safely, which is really amazing." ”

"Yes, if it had been replaced by other troops, I'm afraid it would have mutinied a long time ago. ”

"It's a pity that such a powerful commander is not here. You've made a big bargain. Everyone else said.

Emperor Shi Tian really pouted disdainfully and said, "This guy's level is a little higher than average, at least in my opinion, there is still a lot to learn." ”

"Damn, you're really welcome" Scott couldn't help but laugh and said, "We don't rob your commander, are you going to belittle him like this?"

"Alas!" Emperor Shi Tian sighed, and then said: "I really didn't mean to belittle him, this guy's command ability is still good, but the overall situation is a little worse." ”

"How?" asked Scott immediately, curiously.

"Look at the timing of his retreat, the city is about to be smashed, and he really can't hold it before retreating, what did he do earlier??" Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said: "In the last hour or so, the army was fighting without much defense on the city wall, and the losses were so great that they were more than the previous hours combined. Shouldn't it be more at this time?? The scarlet is scarlet, the osprey, the osprey, the scarlet and the scarlet are handsome

"Be content. Scott couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He has only killed a total of more than 500,000 troops in his hands, and the void creatures he killed are even twice as many as his losses." Are you still not satisfied?"

"That's right, in the war with the void creatures, our losses can't even reach 1:1, you can reach 1:2, are you still not satisfied?"

"You're just cheap, and you're selling well. ”

"I can keep the casualty figure to 1:3, or even 1:4, why do I have to accept 1:2?" Emperor Shi Tian sneered disdainfully.

"You're a bit of a strong man. Scott couldn't help but argue: "I can see that people just want to destroy more void creatures in the first city wall, so that the pressure behind can be much less." ”

"No matter how little pressure there is in the back, can we hold this castle?" Emperor Shi Tian suddenly asked.

"This seems to be a bit difficult. Scott smiled helplessly: "After all, those legendary void creatures haven't made a move yet." Moreover, most of the vanguard army of void creatures are cannon fodder who step on mines, and there are very few gold-level masters. That's why I was killed and injured so much after stepping on a mine again. But in the future, there will be a large number of gold-level void creatures joining it, and the city walls are all built temporarily, and the defense is not strong. ”

"Actually, if you kill the enemy like you did just now, you should still be able to hold it, right?" said one of the guys suddenly.

"I also don't think it's a big problem, the more than 5 million void creatures on the opposite side have been killed by us in pieces, more than 2 million, and now there are only half left, and our casualties are not much, and there are more than 10 million troops behind, how can we hold it?"

"You guys!" Emperor Shi Tian said helplessly, "You seem to have forgotten that this is the castle of demons, and we are obliged to defend them at all costs?"

"This~" As soon as Emperor Shi Tian's words came out, everyone suddenly turned red, and they quickly defended themselves.

"No, no, how could we like to help demons?"

"Don't blind your hat, you can't stand it!"

"This is not a temporary cooperation, so I want to show sincerity, but I really don't want to sacrifice your troops. ”

"Hmph!" Emperor Shi Tian snorted twice, and then said unhappily: "In short, I hope you don't forget our original intention, our opponents are not only void creatures, but also demon clans. So to help them fight, we can do it in desperation, but we must not fight the void creatures desperately, that will only cheapen the demons. ”

"That's right, that's right!" Scott suddenly realized: "We must not fight to the death with the void creatures, this place will fight if it has a geographical advantage, and withdraw if it is not geographically advantageous, in short, we must destroy the void creatures at the lowest cost, as for this castle, we can't defend it, hehe, it's our!"

"Hahaha, that's right, whether this place can be defended or not really has nothing to do with us. ”

"It seems that Alexander's vision is indeed a little lower, he is now afraid that his mind is full of thinking about how to defend this castle, but he has forgotten our purpose, he is just here to join in the fun, and there is no need to be too serious at all. ”

After thinking about this, Scott asked curiously: "Emperor Shitian, since you know that Alexander did something stupid just now, why didn't you forcibly order him to evacuate an hour ago?"

"Yes, if you had warned her earlier, she wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. Others asked.

"Alas!" Emperor Shi Tian sighed a little helplessly, and said: "The general is not subject to foreign military orders, since the command has been handed over to him, we can only give full trust, and resolutely cannot interfere at will." Even if he makes a little mistake, as long as it does not affect the overall situation and cause the whole army to collapse, then he still has to save face for the commander-in-chief at the front. ”

"Why is this??" Scott said in confusion, "They did something wrong, can't we just let them correct it?"

"yes, we don't think we would sacrifice so many lives just to save face, right?" the others asked strangely.

Emperor Shi Tian glanced at them, rolled his eyes helplessly, and then said: "The commander of the front-line army, what do you rely on to govern the army? What orders do you rely on to enforce prohibitions? A large part of them must rely on prestige. If we keep losing face and making mistakes, then what will his subordinates think of him, and will they obey him? When the time comes, the troublesome generals will not be able to command the soldiers, so how can they still fight? Therefore, the face of the front-line generals, that is, their majesty, must be maintained, and only in this way can they get their subordinates to order and prohibit them. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in it. Scott couldn't help but solemnly say, "I learned another trick from you today." ”

"These are all tips I learned when I was emperor. Emperor Shi Tian didn't care: "It's just nonsense, and you don't have to take it seriously." ”
