Even in order to avoid being too far away and worrying that the soldiers of West Asia City in the Ice Legion camp in the distance could not hear it, as many as ten horns were used this time.
The soldiers of West Asia City in the Ice Legion camp also immediately heard the sound of the horn.
"Retreat, everyone retreat!"
Immediately, the captains leading their respective teams immediately began to call for their subordinates to start retreating.
"Captain, why don't we fight for a while longer? The enemy is still in chaos. If we kill one more, we will get more glory!"
Many captains and soldiers were ready to retreat according to the sound of the trumpet.
However, a small number of soldiers felt that they could still pursue the victory and kill more enemies.
After all, they have been suppressed for too long in the past few months.
Tonight, such a hearty fight, against an Ice Legion that was stronger than themselves and others, left many soldiers still unsatisfied.
Fortunately, these captains knew that the person who told this matter was actually not their commander, but the being named Nalant.
So, the captains said sternly: "Retreat immediately when you hear the horn sound. This is what the commander-in-chief requires us to do."
"Narant also said that if you fail to retreat in time after the trumpet sounds, there will be no possibility of survival."
"Our performance tonight is enough, do you still want to bury your lives here?"
After hearing the captain's words, these soldiers who wanted to continue fighting immediately fell silent.
"Captain, we know we made a mistake, we retreat immediately!"
Immediately, a group of West Asia City soldiers fought and retreated, and finally retreated completely and fled back into the tunnel.
In the middle section of the tunnel, West Asia City had already arranged a large pile of dry firewood in advance.
When it was confirmed that all the soldiers in West Asia City had retreated, the coolies immediately lit the fire.
As the fire was ignited, thick smoke began to spread in the tunnel.
Upon seeing this, the Ice Legion soldiers who still wanted to pursue them hurriedly evacuated the tunnel.
At this time, the leader of the Ice Legion arrived belatedly at the entrance of the cave with half a million elite troops.
"Where are the enemies?"
The leader of the Ice Legion looked at the tunnel with eyes splitting.
Although he already had the answer in his mind, he still couldn't help but grab an Ice Legion captain and ask angrily.
"Lord Commander, the enemy... the enemy has withdrawn, and they also lit fires in the tunnel. Now the tunnel is impassable."
The captain replied helplessly.
"Damn it!" Commander Han Bing was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Looking at the corpses of soldiers everywhere, as well as the tents and supplies and food that were still burning, the leader of the Ice Legion felt his heart bleed.
Not long after, the leader of the Ice Legion headed outside the divine tent.
"Lord God, this subordinate is guilty, please punish me!"
The leader of the Ice Legion knelt before the God of Ice with a plop.
As the commander, he also bears great responsibility for the enemy's attack on the camp tonight.
The Ice God looked at him blankly, but did not speak immediately.
After a full moment, the Ice God said coldly: "Remember the responsibility for this crime first. If the next battle is still unfavorable and cannot offset your fault, then you can commit suicide after returning to the Ice Continent to apologize.
!”
"Yes, Lord God!" Commander Hanbing trembled slightly, but he still obeyed the punishment honestly.
"Have the losses been calculated?"
The Ice God asked again at this time, "Lord God, preliminary statistics have been made..."
"How much was the loss?"
Seeing the legion commander flinching, the Ice God immediately asked.
"Lord God, a total of one material location in the camp was burned, and at least enough food and grass for 500,000 people for three months was lost."
"In addition to this... In addition, at least tens of thousands of tents have been burned, and there are still many fire spots that have not been extinguished at this time."
"As for the casualties of soldiers... there have been nearly 300,000 casualties..."
boom!
Even though he already knew that there must be huge losses, when he really heard the specific data, the Ice God couldn't help but get angry.
The expedition team he brought this time was only about 1.8 million.
Excluding the more than 300,000 soldiers who stayed behind and occupied the city, there were a total of 1.5 million legionnaires in the camp.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Flame Holy City, they lost nearly 300,000 people before they even started attacking.
And this was caused when the enemy took the initiative to attack.
Before, he was somewhat gloating over the losses of other gods' legions.
But now, he has become the party with the biggest losses.
I believe that in a few days, when the news spreads, I am afraid that I will become the biggest laughing stock here.
"Go and investigate. Immediately find out how the enemy knows the location of our tunnel digging."
Without thinking too much, the Ice God felt that tonight's attack was obviously caused by someone leaking the underground situation.
Otherwise, only those at the captain level would know about such a secret matter, even among his own subordinates.
As for ordinary soldiers, only those responsible for excavation know about it.
He had to find out who leaked such secret information.
…
"Your Majesty, my subordinates will complete the tasks assigned by you!"
Compared to the deathly silent atmosphere in the Ice Legion camp, the city of West Asia is in full swing.
The soldiers who returned were all in high spirits and couldn't stop bragging to their companions about their respective achievements today.
Several team captains also immediately came to the commander of West Asia City to report.
"Well, now that you can estimate your results, what's your other record?"
"Back to the commander, I feel that tonight's record will definitely not be worse than that of other cities, and it should even be more dazzling than their records."
"As for the losses, thanks to your previous explanation and the warning of Lord Narant, we did not hesitate to fight after hearing the horn sound and immediately retreated."
"So, the casualties were not large, only there were five to six thousand casualties in the battle."
"By the way, Lord Commander, it is really lucky and timely. Just moments after we retreated according to the sound of the horn, the Ice Commander had already arrived with dense reinforcements."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If the horn sound had not been heard in time, even if we had delayed it for more than ten minutes, the casualties would have started to double."
The leader answered truthfully about the battle situation, and then expressed his thoughts when he evacuated.
Because just when they entered the tunnel, they saw densely packed Ice Legion soldiers surrounding them not far away.
If they hadn't spoken for ten minutes at night, even for five minutes, the casualties would have definitely doubled or tripled.
"It's so urgent?"
The commander of West Asia City couldn't help but feel frightened after hearing the news.
These subordinates are the only warriors left in the Flame Continent. Even if he loses dozens more, he will feel distressed.
He immediately turned around to look at Nalant.
Because the command and battlefield control tonight actually rested with Nalant.
And his leader is just a microphone.
And Nalant was able to seize every opportunity so accurately, which really impressed him.
But when he turned around, the commander of West Asia City was stunned.
"Where is Lord Narante?"
At this time, there was no trace of Nalant beside him. Nalant was already gone.
"Lord Commander, when we arrived, Lord Nalant was already gone!"
Several subordinates spoke softly.
"This..." The commander of West Asia City was stunned, feeling a little empty in his heart.
I saw the subordinates in the Ice Legion camp beginning to return, so my attention was always on these subordinates, but I ignored Nalant for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Nalant disappeared at that time.
But I haven't had time to express my gratitude to Narant yet.
This time is truly an unprecedented honor.
He is many times more glorious than the commanders of other cities.
After all, other cities passively defend themselves within the city and then surround and annihilate the enemy.
But they took the initiative to attack, but they were able to escape unscathed. The level of difficulty between the two was not comparable at all.
"I hope I will have the opportunity to see Lord Nalant again in the future, so that I can thank him properly!"
In the end, the commander of West Asia City could only helplessly shake his head.
Finally, he looked at his subordinates and said, "Okay, your performance today is excellent enough. Except for those who need to be on duty, everyone else immediately arranged for their subordinates to rest immediately."
"As for your merits, I will send them to the temple tomorrow morning. I believe the high priest will definitely reward you!"
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
Immediately, all the subordinates began to follow the instructions in an orderly manner.
Although it is basically impossible for the Ice Legion to attack tonight.
But what should be guarded against must still be guarded against.
After his subordinates left, the commander of West Asia City quickly returned to his desk, then took a pen and paper and began to talk about tonight's results.
Although the specific results have not yet been announced, it will surely be 100% confirmed in a few days.
After all, the Ice Legion would not hide such news.
The next day, there was still a lot of smoke coming from the Ice Legion camp.
Although the open fire has been completely extinguished, it will still take some time to clean up.
As for the West Asia City, the West Asia Commander had already sent the written report to the Holy City.
Although the true record of the victory is still unknown, this does not prevent him from giving the good news of the victory to the Flame High Priest first.
And when the Flame High Priest received the news, his face turned livid instantly.
Compared with the other three Acropolis commanders, the report letter written by the West Asia City commander already praised Nalant to the highest level.
For example, the commander of West Asia City originally stated that he did not have the courage to raid the Ice Legion camp.
Later, it was Narant who persuaded him and helped him formulate a series of plans.
Even during the battle, it was Nalant who was in charge throughout the whole process. He, the commander of West Asia City, only provided assistance and even acted as a microphone.
Then, in addition to saying that this record should be unprecedented, based on the previous rumors, the commander of West Asia City believed that Nalant did have good intentions towards their Flame Continent.
So he wanted to make suggestions to the high priest, hoping that the high priest could consider cooperating with Nalant, so that he would have a greater chance of driving away those divine invaders.
boom!
After reading the letter, the Flame High Priest slapped all kinds of pictures on the table, and the subordinates and priests beside him immediately trembled in fright.
"This commander of West Asia City, is he the commander or is Nalant the commander?"
"He actually dared to be complacent about handing over the command of West Asia City to an intruder. Doesn't he know that this is a serious crime?"
The High Priest of Fire cursed angrily.
"Come here, dismiss the commander of West Asia City immediately and bring him back to the Holy City!"
The High Priest of Fire was really angry.
Not to mention that the actions of the Nalant invader have seriously affected his dominance as the high priest.
It was the attitude of these commanders in treating the invaders as their benefactors that he couldn't accept very much.
As for the result that without Nalant, those acropolis would have fallen long ago, the Flame High Priest would naturally not think too much about it.
All he thought about at this time was his own absolute authority.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, you must not do this!"
When the Flame High Priest gave the order, the priests and subordinates around him were shocked.
"Your Excellency, the High Priest, the commander of the West Asia City has been serving for more than ten years, and he single-handedly led the West Asia City defenders."
"And no matter what, he has promised to win the battle now. If the commander of West Asia City is dismissed from his post and taken into custody at this time, then I am afraid that his subordinates will never be peaceful!"
"Huh, restless? Anyone who dares to be restless will be arrested as well. Do they dare to betray the God of Fire?" The leader of the flames still snorted coldly.
"Lord Commander, of course they dare not betray the Lord God of Fire, but now that the invaders are approaching the city and without the support of the commander of West Asia City, those soldiers will definitely have low morale."
"If something goes wrong in West Asia City, wouldn't it be worth the loss? So, Your Excellency, the High Priest, why not write down this matter for the time being."
"When we win the battle in the future, we will dismiss the commander of West Asia City from his post!"
The subordinates of the Flame High Priest were also helpless.
Previously, the entire Flame Continent was controlled by the God of Fire, and the high priest at that time only managed the believers' faith issues.
Nothing could go wrong with this.
But with the death of the God of Fire, the shortcomings of the High Priest of Fire were exposed.
That is, he has a very strong desire to control, so he does not allow any of his subordinates to disobey him.
And this is not the point. The point is that he does not understand military affairs, but he often forcibly interferes with some commanders.
This resulted in several cities that had been quickly captured due to his intervention.
But after all, the Flame High Priest has been the high priest for thirty years, and he also has a very high reputation among believers.
This makes all the subordinates have no choice but to endure it even if they know that the commander-in-chief's decision is flawed.
Otherwise, anyone who dares to directly oppose will most likely be dismissed directly by the Flame High Priest.
As for today, I have to give a reminder.
Because if the leader of West Asia City is really dismissed, it will not only affect West Asia City.
But all other commanders and soldiers will be chilled by this matter.
What the Flame Holy City needs most now is for all soldiers and leaders to carry out an absolute counterattack.
I hope to protect the last holy city in the Flame Continent.
After listening to his subordinates' suggestions, the Flame High Priest fell silent.
