"It's impossible. There were only 50,000 or 60,000 dark creatures that attacked us that day. At that time, we killed at least tens of thousands of them. How could there be more than 100,000 of them!"
At this time, Gusi jumped out immediately, his face full of disbelief.
If they had known that there were so many dark creatures, they would not have chosen to return to the Duke City.
At most, you can send a few subordinates to inform those small towns, and let the people in the small towns notify the Duke City.
"President Theodore, as well as all the kings and leaders, what I said is true. Not only us, but also the defenders of other small towns know the number of dark creatures!" A commander in charge of the report took a look.
The orc Gus did not answer his words.
Instead, he continued to speak affirmatively towards the kings and President Theodore.
Although Gusi's face looked ugly, he couldn't say anything more at this time. After all, his identity was here, and he was sure of it.
"Hmph, I have long said that we should retreat. Now you are all satisfied, right? More than 100,000 dark creatures are outflanking us from behind, and they have also destroyed our supplies. We are now surrounded by dark creatures!"
However, Gusi had nothing to say, but the orc bodyguard Budolon began to have a seizure at this moment.
He originally did not want to guard this ducal city.
Now, how could he tolerate the fact that his orc army was also in danger?
The dwarf hill king and the elf king also frowned at this moment.
Seeing this, President Theodore said, "Everyone, this is indeed something I didn't expect."
"Although the dark creatures in the past were able to accept commands, they have never been able to resist attacking so many human gatherings in front of them, but chose to take a detour to surround them."
"Now, this incident has happened. Although I feel guilty, I also know that even if I admit punishment, I cannot undo it. Therefore, we still discuss the matter of breaking out immediately."
"After breaking through, I, Theodore, am willing to accept your punishment!"
"President Theodore, there is no need to say such words. This attack by the dark creatures was not unpredictable. Not only you, but also all of us could not predict it."
"So, the blame does not lie with you."
"And, as President Theodore said, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to break out of the encirclement immediately and not let the dark creatures completely block us!"
As soon as President Theodore finished speaking, the King of the Nok Empire immediately moved towards President Theodore to comfort him.
"That's right, what we should do most now is to find a way to break out of the encirclement, instead of blaming this whole thing on one person. The small city behind has not yet been lost, and the dark creatures have not yet completely surrounded us. This is our last chance."
"In addition, we only have enough supplies for a week, so the sooner we break out, the better."
At this time, the king of the Blue Shield Empire also spoke.
Then, other kings saw this and also spoke up to help.
Although the Holy Alliance is not monolithic on weekdays, it still sticks together externally.
"Hmph, I don't need any punishment from you. What I care most about is that our orc warriors can evacuate safely, so you'd better start taking action immediately!"
As several kings spoke one after another, Prince Boudoron also knew that he could not do anything to Theodore, so he simply began to solve the problem he was most worried about.
He didn't want his people to suffer losses by helping the human race defend against dark creatures, so what he wanted most now was how to safely lead his people to escape.
"In this case, I will continue to serve as the president for the time being!"
Theodore cast a grateful look at the kings, and then continued: "Everyone, since the dark creatures want to outflank us, they will definitely have more follow-up teams."
"So, we really should start evacuating immediately."
"Although there are more than 100,000 dark creatures behind us now, as long as we act fast enough, we should be able to break through successfully."
"Okay, let's start the breakout immediately!"
Several kings nodded after hearing this.
Finally, the kings and leaders no longer delayed and immediately discussed a plan to retreat and break out of the encirclement.
First of all, the Duke City cannot be abandoned immediately, so it is necessary to leave a small number of resistance teams to break up the rear, to prevent the Duke City from falling as soon as the army withdraws.
By then, the coalition forces will be in a position where they will be attacked from both sides.
When discussing the number of soldiers to be cut off, Prince Boudoron of the Orc tribe was very uncooperative and unwilling to leave his tribe behind.
In the end, the six kings of the Holy Alliance had no choice but to leave 20,000 troops each from the six empires to take charge of the rear.
After all, the human race is the largest among the teams dispatched this time. If they are really wiped out by the dark creatures, the human race will also suffer the greatest losses.
After the plan was finalized, it only took two hours for the main force of the coalition forces to assemble, abandon some useless supplies, and begin to evacuate the Duke City with only enough food.
The remaining 120,000 human defenders need to hold on in the city for at least a day and a half to buy enough time for the retreating team.
After the main force withdrew from the Duke City, more than 300,000 people began to fight and retreat. Whenever they arrived at a small town, they immediately gathered the small town defenders.
Gradually, the retreating breakout team gathered more than 700,000 people.
And when these more than 700,000 people were still more than 200 miles away from the small supply town where Nalant and others were originally stationed, they finally encountered the dark army outflanking their retreat.
Although the dark army only has more than 100,000 people, the three-headed bone dragon is particularly difficult to deal with.
Even the kings of the six empires, plus the kings or leaders of the other three tribes, could only barely cope.
In this way, the breakout team suffered a big loss for the first time.
Because the bone dragons also have a high IQ, and whenever they get a chance, they will spray dragon breath at ordinary soldiers in the coalition army.
Every jet of dragon's breath means the loss of hundreds of coalition soldiers' lives.
"President Theodore, quickly, you command the team to continue breaking out, and we will hold back these three-headed bone dragons!"
The kings also knew that they could not really kill the bone dragon, and even if they tried their best, both sides would suffer losses. Therefore, after they entangled the bone dragon, they immediately let the ordinary soldiers of the coalition escape first.
President Theodore did not hesitate when he heard this, and immediately commanded the coalition troops to start running wildly.
In this way, the coalition team gradually broke out of the siege of dark creatures and began to run away quickly.
The kings were entangled with the three-headed bone dragon, trying to prevent the bone dragon from launching another attack on the coalition team.
After running for a full day, the army of dark creatures was finally pushed away by the coalition forces.
Only the three-headed bone dragon remained unyielding and continued to pursue the coalition forces.
However, even so, all the kings breathed a sigh of relief.
"We finally broke out. Although the three bone dragons are still chasing us, the dark army failed to keep up, and the three-headed bone dragons can no longer pose a threat to our army."
Although the three-headed bone dragon is very powerful, without the ordinary dark creatures to restrain it, the human race can deploy more sky knights to resist.
As a result, the bone dragon, let alone the ordinary soldiers who continue to attack the coalition team, need to be careful about being surrounded by a group of sky knights even when pursuing.
Under such a situation, everyone naturally thought that they had escaped and ascended to heaven.
However, the kings did not know that they were happy too early.
Because, just one day later, when they finally approached the small town, they saw densely packed dark creatures appearing in front of them again.
But this time, the number of dark creatures turned out to be more than 300,000, and a three-headed bone dragon appeared again.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"How many are these dark creatures!"
Seeing the more than 300,000 dark creatures and two bone dragons blocking the front again, the faces of the kings and leaders of the coalition changed.
Outside the Duke City, there were at least a million dark creatures blocked. Although there were mostly middle and low-level dark creatures, they were still a team that could not be ignored.
And behind this, the dark creatures actually invested more than 400,000 dark creatures. The total number adds up to more than 1.5 million.
Moreover, the invasion of dark creatures is not only outside the Thorn Fortress, but also appears on other defense lines such as the Orc Royal Court.
In this way, the dark creatures can mobilize at least millions of powerful combat forces, which is many times stronger than the power of the Holy Continent.
"Everyone, although the number of dark creatures is large, we have no possibility of retreating. If we delay further, there may be more dark creatures coming."
"So, let's start the charge immediately!"
"It can only be the!"
All the kings and leaders knew that they had no choice.
Woohoo!
The next moment, the sound of the charging horn came again from the coalition ranks.
And all the coalition soldiers also knew that this was a desperate counterattack. If they could not break through, there would be only death, so they fought very bravely.
After half an hour of fighting, the coalition team was finally able to break through the siege of dark creatures at the cost of tens of thousands of people.
"Everyone, warriors, continue to charge. Victory is right in front of you. As long as we rush out, there will be no dark creatures in front of us!"
Seeing the chance of survival before their eyes, all the kings and leaders also became excited.
Although tens of thousands of soldiers once again lost their lives, the team was finally saved.
Because the death energy in front has become thinner and thinner, it is impossible for the army of dark creatures to continue to intercept them in front.
Moreover, if there is any army of dark creatures, they will definitely gather with these more than 400,000 dark creatures.
In this way, it is impossible for the human alliance company to successfully break through this time.
"Kill, we will succeed soon!"
With the continuous encouragement from the kings and leaders, the soldiers of the coalition team rushed even more bravely.
However, just when all the coalition soldiers thought they could really escape and ascend to heaven this time, a loud noise suddenly made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cellar, and their faces suddenly turned ashen.
Whoosh!
Just listen, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
Some soldiers in the battle subconsciously looked into the air with their peripheral vision, but they saw a scene that was difficult to watch in their lives.
I saw a huge stone... no, it should be said that it was a huge piece of land crossing the sky and falling towards the Thorn Fortress.
The area of that piece of land should be the size of a duke, and the top should be flat, as if it was peeled off directly from the edge of the continent.
Moreover, this continent is still enveloped in a faint air of death.
Obviously, this huge land belongs to dark creatures.
"Then...what is that?"
"It seems to be a piece of land. Have you seen it? There are high-level dark creatures on the edge of the land."
"This... what are they trying to do? Besides, hasn't the Dark Continent already arrived? Why would there be such a strange land falling from the sky!"
All the kings also noticed the situation at this moment and looked up one after another.
Although they didn't know what was going on, everyone was shocked for no reason, because they felt that this was definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, the next moment, a bone dragon in the sky named Baoxiao spoke.
"Haha, pitiful and weak victory, be afraid, this is a continent that our Lord used Weili to peel off, with hundreds of thousands of our dark army on it!"
"And its destination seems to be your fortress, haha!"
"What..." The kings and leaders of the coalition forces immediately changed their colors after hearing this.
They now understood that this bone dragon was probably not lying to them.
Because, the direction of that piece of land is really towards Thorn Fortress.
And the Thorn Fortress is their only escape route. If this escape route is really destroyed, then they may not be able to fly even if they have wings.
More importantly, the Fortress of Thorns was originally the fortress that the human race most relied on to resist dark creatures.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the Fortress of Thorns is lost, it means that the entire principality of the Holy Alliance will be stripped naked, and everything will be smooth sailing after that.
"God of Glory, please bless our human race!"
When President Theodore heard this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the City of Thorns in pain, and at the same time prayed devoutly to the God of Glory.
It's a pity that the dark lord has been planning this matter for a long time and spent a huge price. How could something happen?
As the huge landmass in the sky crossed the sky, it gradually began to fall downwards.
And a few minutes after the land disappeared on the horizon, a huge roar finally came from the direction of Thorn Fortress in the distance.
Boom!
This roar can be clearly heard even from hundreds of miles away.
"It's over..."
All the kings suddenly turned pale.
The coalition soldiers also realized something at this moment and were a little at a loss.
"Ho ho ho, ha ha, you poor ants, the fortress you rely on has been in ruins, you should kneel down obediently to welcome my Lord's arrival and become my Lord's new slaves!"
Compared to the coalition forces, the Bone Dragon's mocking roar was particularly loud.
And the truth is just as the bone dragon said, it is more than three hundred miles away from the coalition forces.
At this moment, most of the originally majestic Thorn Fortress had been destroyed.
On top of the collapsed Thorn Fortress, there was a black land of death the size of Duke City.
This land of death is exactly the one that the coalition forces saw crossing the sky just now.
After this land of death landed at an extremely high speed, it directly flattened half of the Thorn Fortress.
The at least 100,000 defenders located in this half of the Thorn Fortress didn't even have time to react, so they were turned into pulp and merged with the earth.
As for why the Land of Death remained unharmed despite falling at such a high speed, this is the power of the Dark Lord.
