Facing the attack of the Immortal Killing Cannon, in just an instant, the North American Federation Novice Lord Alliance army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.
Stephen's face was very ugly and he said: "These golden immortals are useless. They are helpless with just a cannonball. The most important thing is that they retreated. It's really embarrassing."
Don’t blame Stephen for being upset.
If the people of the Tianxia Empire encounter such a situation, neither their lord nor the people under their lord will retreat. Even if they die standing, most of them will not retreat.
This is the difference between the Tianxia Empire and the North American Federation.
The civilizational form of the North American Federation determines that when their lords and the subjects under their lords face life-and-death decisions, they often choose to save their lives.
The civilizational form of the Tianxia Empire determines that when their lords and the subjects under their lords face life-and-death decisions, they often do not take life-saving as the first factor, but mostly focus on family affection, righteousness, etc.
Of course, no matter which civilization there is, there is a fear of death, but the form of civilization determines people's choices at critical moments.
At this time, most of these lords or subjects chose to retreat when they faced the possibility of being killed if they advanced. Although retreating would lose face, but could save their lives.
This is also one of the reasons why Stephen is most unhappy.
"Order to retreat, otherwise there will be too many deaths. Not only will we not be able to break into the enemy's territory, but our ability to protect ourselves will be greatly weakened. This is disadvantageous for us."
A lord reminded Stephen and said.
Although Stephen was unwilling to accept this, he still ordered the army to retreat.
When the army was completely withdrawn, Stephen regretted that he ordered the retreat too late. At this time, the attacking army suffered heavy losses.
After Stephen counted the army, he found that the number of the army was only more than 5 billion. It can be said that more than half of the army was lost in this war, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
"Looks like we lost."
When Stephen saw the number of troops lost, he suddenly became dizzy and said a little decadently.
The remaining army simply had no ability to break through the golden city wall. In other words, their attack on the Imperial Alliance this time was considered a failure. The most important thing was that the Imperial Alliance's Immortal Killing Cannon was too powerful and too lethal. You must know that the Immortal Killing Cannon is one of the rare treasures that can attack in a large area and cause damage. Therefore, each of its attacks is a large-scale attack, which is why it can cause such great damage to his army.
If he had ordered the retreat later, most of the troops would have been sacrificed, and very few would have escaped.
At this time, Stephen was a little frustrated. He felt that there was nothing he could do about the Imperial Alliance.
"Your Excellency, we have not lost yet. I think that when our reinforcements arrive, we may not be able to break through the Imperial Alliance's defense line if we make a desperate move this time."
A lord saw Stephen's frustration and comforted Stephen: "I found that we made a big mistake in these six attacks, that is, half of each attack, because the sacrifice was too great, so
Retreat.
In this way, after each retreat, the sacrifices of our army will be in vain. After the reinforcements arrive, we will directly launch a fierce attack on the Golden Great Wall and directly use the Golden Immortal to open the way. We are not afraid of sacrifice. Even if it is piled up, we can still
Its defense line was breached.
As long as we are not afraid of sacrifice, even a strong person at the Golden Immortal level can be sacrificed if he can break through the Imperial Alliance's defense line. What do you think?"
"You are right, these are the reasons why our attack was unsuccessful."
Stephen said: "It's just that those powerful people at the Golden Immortal level are not under our control. It's impossible for them not to be afraid of death."
Stephen has no way to deal with those golden immortal level powerhouses.
The Golden Immortal-level powerhouses in the North American Federation are all promoted through the method of sacrifice. This kind of Golden Immortal-level powerhouse has the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal stage, but does not have the state of mind and combat effectiveness of the Golden Immortal stage powerhouses. p>
Therefore, this kind of golden immortal is a kind of parallel imported golden immortal, which is incomplete golden immortal. They are also the weakest golden immortal.
This is also one of the reasons why the Immortal Killing Cannon can have a chance to kill some powerful people at the Golden Immortal level.
However, although this kind of Golden Immortal has various flaws, it is a Golden Immortal after all and cannot be underestimated. Although Stephen is not weak in strength, it is very difficult to fully command such a powerful Golden Immortal. p>
"I heard that when these golden immortals are created, they are under the control of the alliance leader. Why don't you contact the alliance leader and ask the alliance leader to authorize you to control these golden immortals. When the time comes, use these golden immortals to open the way, and you will definitely be able to break through the imperial alliance's defense line.
of."
The lord suggested.
Stephen smiled bitterly and said: "This is impossible. The alliance leader cannot allow me to completely control the life and death of these golden immortals, because that would be equivalent to giving me control of his own power.
Once I take this opportunity to break through the Imperial Alliance's defense line, my status will inevitably increase greatly and threaten the alliance leader's status. Do you think the alliance leader will agree to me?
"It's already this time, why are you still thinking so much? If the alliance leader doesn't agree, then you won't be blamed for breaking through the Imperial Alliance's defense line. If the alliance leader agrees to you, then after breaking through the Imperial Alliance's defense line, you can't blame it on you.
This will greatly increase your status.
So whether the alliance leader agrees or not, it is a good opportunity for you, what do you think?"
The lord analyzed and said.
Stephen felt justified, and he said: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge. You are right. No matter whether the alliance leader agrees or not, it will be beneficial to me without any harm. I will contact the alliance leader now and request
Authorization."
After saying that, Stephen contacted the alliance leader John in a hurry, told John about the situation here, and asked John to let him take control of the supporting army, including the powerful golden immortals in the army.
John was very surprised and wary of Stephen's request.
He did not agree to Stephen's request. He said: "You want those golden immortals to completely listen to you and attack the Imperial Alliance's defense line. It is not necessary to control those golden immortals. I ordered those golden immortals to attack
How about I completely obey your orders during the Imperial Alliance defense line and not be able to resist you?"
It is impossible for John to agree to the fact that the supporting army and the Golden Immortal-level powerful men in the army will be completely controlled by Stephen.
Maybe Stephen has no ambition now and only wants to break through the Imperial Alliance's defense line, but it does not mean that he has no ambition at all.
Ambition is related to a person's status and strength. If he controls the support army, including even the Golden Immortal-level experts in the support army, Stephen's strength will definitely increase greatly.
With his increased strength, if he has ambitions by then, John may not be able to control them, which is why John is worried.
