Natalie's air force soon appeared in sight, and the familiar combat methods allowed Reggie to quickly take over command.
Although Kui Sha was a little reluctant, seeing the size of the air force, he had no choice. In the past, he had seen ten airships dispatched together, but this time, Natalie brought seventy airships.
Seventy airships are comparable to the dark clouds that cover the sky. Under the power of the wind demon, these airships originally did nothing. Now that the wind demon has been killed by Reggie, the time has come for a comeback.
In just fifty minutes of hourglass time, Natalie easily defeated all the pursuers and used the ladder to get everyone to the airship.
Kui immediately looked at Natalie up and down for a long time. Natalie had a special charm that might not be effective on ordinary men, but could deeply attract the king among men.
Kui Sha was no exception. His eyes were straight. If Hurley hadn't burned his hair, he would have been staring at Natalie until he reached Shattered Snow City.
Natalie didn't bother to look at him. She wanted to lead the air force to fight under the command of Reggie.
Seventy airships surrounded Big Mac, and in the blink of an eye, ten airships were shot down.
Normally, Reggie, who cherishes his soldiers, would immediately change his tactics, but this time he did not do so because he knew there was no better way.
"Some battles cost lives. Mandasa spent all his money. It is impossible to win the battle without bloodshed."
The situation in Mandassa was even worse. The bombs were getting denser and denser. The rock demons were dead and injured. One of Big Mac's legs was blown off. He could only pick up stones from the ground to fight back.
With the outcome no longer in suspense, Gada created a quagmire on the hillside and said to Mandasa: "King, get out of here, Gunaris can't hold it anymore."
"Let Ragasto leave first. As long as they are there, Gunaris can still stand up."
Big Mac is a collection of mud demons, rock demons and sand demons. The rock demons and sand demons that make up the body do not have much value. The most precious thing is the mud demon that acts as an adhesive.
In previous battles, once the Big Mac suffered a fatal attack, Garda would try his best to let the Mud Demon escape first, but this time he failed to do so.
"It smells like pagoda, very strong. King, this is poison, the poison we are most afraid of!"
Reggie mixed Swindell's poison into the bomb, but unfortunately the quantity was not large, otherwise he would have knocked down Big Mac long ago.
Mandassa got into the quagmire and escaped with Gada. Ten minutes later, Big Mac fell to the ground and was blown into a large piece of gravel and sand.
The remaining rock demons were quickly cleaned up, and Reggie led the tenacious Snowbreaker to pull Snowflake City back from the edge of the cliff.
Back in Shattering Snow City, what awaits Reggie is a series of critical strikes. This is a typical tragic victory, and every loss is tearing out Reggie's heart.
Eighty percent of the artillerymen left at the top of the city were killed.
More than 90% of the guardsmen Reggie and Alfred were killed.
Sixty percent of the veterans were killed in action.
More than 700 civilians were killed, and more than 2,000 were injured.
All the Cambrian Knights were wiped out.
Seventy percent of the orc warriors were killed.
…
Looking at the long list made Reggie want to vomit blood. This was not the worst outcome.
"Where's Chris, when will their soldiers come back?"
Natalie shook her head and said: "They are trapped in the canyon of the Lost Mountain, and it will be difficult to break out in the short term."
"Trapped? You mean, lost..."
"We can't say we lost," Natalie was embarrassed and couldn't find the right words. "The coalition forces suffered heavy casualties and the current situation is very dangerous."
"Isn't this just a loss? Who the hell did you learn to talk nonsense from?"
Reggie had never lost his temper with Natalie, but this blow was really unacceptable to him.
Falling into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, Reggie admitted it. At least he saved Broken Snow City. When Chris brought the main force back to Broken Snow City, the initiative in the war was still in the hands of the coalition forces.
Unexpectedly, the main force also suffered a disastrous defeat. This was not a simple plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The tiger was defeated, how long could the remaining empty city hold on?
Reggie opened the map, pointed at the canyon and said, "Where is Chris?"
Natalie pointed to the east entrance and said: "We are still dealing with the enemy here."
"The west exit is blocked?"
"Yes."
"How is this possible!" Reggie pounded the table angrily. The west exit had already reached Golden Light City, and there was no trace of the evil spirit there at all.
Natalie naturally did not dare to lie to Reggie: "Sir, they have a flying monster guarding the west exit. The monster is very big and keeps throwing fire demons into the canyon exit. It has become a sea of fire!
"
"A flying monster is very big?" Reggie frowned, "Is it a war eagle? As far as I know, that kind of bird is not too big."
"Sir, that monster is much bigger than the war eagle."
"So what if they are bigger? Just let the musketeers ride on the airship and shoot them down!"
"Bullets are useless against that kind of monster. That monster is bigger than an airship!" Natalie felt aggrieved. The battle at the foot of Lost Mountain was brutal, but Reggie always stubbornly believed that they had made a low-level mistake.
"It's bigger than an airship..." Reggie was stunned for a long time, "What is that thing?"
"I don't know. He sank more than forty of our airships. No one has seen that thing, including the Grand Master."
Regardless of everyone's opposition, Batchelor followed Kesley on the expedition, hoping to use his knowledge to deal with emergencies. However, he did not expect that the omniscient bachelor also encountered an unknown life.
"Well, even if there is nothing to do in the west, why is the east blocked by evil spirits? I can't even figure out why you are forced into the canyon?"
"Because we encountered a pincer attack, sir, many rock demons rushed down from Nanshan and attacked the coalition forces from behind!"
"Nanshan?" Reggie turned to look at Tortosa.
The Lost Mountain is divided into two, the side near Broken Snow City is called Nanshan, and the other side is called Beishan.
As far as Reggie knows, Dio has lived on Nanshan Mountain for many years, which is close to Shattering Snow City. Why does the Rock Demon appear on Nanshan Mountain? Don’t say that Dio doesn’t know about it, even if Swindell steals it from his chassis.
He can spot any tree immediately.
Tortosa looked at Reggie blankly: "Sir, I don't know anything about this."
Reggie was silent for a while and said: "I believe you, please ask Dio for me, what happened?"
Tortosa tried to contact Dio, but failed, and Dio did not give any response.
According to Natalie's description, the fire demon is pressing closer and closer to the west. Reggie must now find a way out for Chris, otherwise the coalition forces will be burned to death in the canyon tonight.
"There is a secret passage in the canyon. You can climb the Beishan Mountain. After bypassing the Beishan Mountain, you can go to Hanfeng Fortress and meet Sophia." Reggie drew dots on the map. "The road is very narrow. Let Chris take action immediately.
If everything goes well, the army can leave the canyon before dusk."
"We tried. Doranor knows that road, but all the roads on the northern mountain are blocked by rocks. We can't get through!"
Reggie looked at Tortosa again, and a series of changes pointed all the fingers at Dio.
Tortosa cried: "Sir, I really don't know what happened."
"Let Doranor open a path, it's just a few stones, it won't stop him at all!"
"I've tried it too," Natalie shook her head. "There is a magic circle set up on the mountain road. Doranor can't break it, and even Saga can't break it."
"Even Saga can't do anything..." Reggie looked at Tortosa desperately. It was too obvious. It was obviously the work of the mountain demon. "To find Dio, we must find a way to find Dio and ask him what he wants."
