One hundred thousand demons escaped... This is undoubtedly a major impact on the entire war situation.
Although from an overall perspective, 100,000-level troops cannot affect the outcome on the battlefield, but from the perspective of the Higgs 11 planetary battlefield alone, this breakout is enough to be called a turning point.
After this battle, the morale of the Airan Hill Empire troops increased exponentially. The 100,000 demon troops that had gone through the test of fire were now considered elite.
Veterans who have gone through battles are definitely a valuable resource for the Airanhill Empire.
What hurt the guards even more was that they did not eat the 100,000 elites of the Elanthir Empire that were already in their mouths, and their split replication was also affected.
One plus and one minus, one plus and one minus, how much difference there is between them, only the watchers themselves can know.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Dragon King Albert's actions alone violently changed the situation on the entire battlefield.
The demons and dragons, who were originally enemies of each other, joined forces for the first time on the battlefield and achieved a great victory.
"Roar!" The golden dragon that looked like a mountain roared in the sky, and the demon troops also slowly retreated towards their own positions in the passage cleared by Dragon King Albert.
The Devil Dog troops accepted the mission, and they died together with the enemy. They spent tens of thousands of losses in exchange for precious time for the troops to retreat.
At the same time, due to the Dragon Emperor's delay, the reinforcements that General Dolenotier had been waiting for on planet Higgs 11 finally arrived.
One million demon troops armed by the Airansil Empire marched to the battlefield, and they became the new force in the ground war zone on the planet Higgs 11.
With this army, Dolenotier, who was originally stretched thin, finally gathered a certain amount of wealth, and he can now calmly deal with the attack from the Watcher troops.
Almost at the same time, the troops commanded by General Alfred were also struggling to fight back against the Watchers' troops on the planet Higgs 4.
Seemingly in order to cooperate with the strategic counterattack of Medias and General Dolenotier, General Alfred also used his own wealth to launch a massive counterattack.
In order to prepare for this counterattack, he mobilized the reserve troops on the planet Higgs 4, a total of 700,000 people, and rushed more than 100 kilometers to the predetermined area.
General Alfred's command was more focused on attack than Medias, who was on solid defense, and Dolenotier, who was still somewhat uneasy.
On the one hand, it's because of his personal command style, and on the other hand, it's also because this is the Higgs region!
Previously, General Alfred was the Chief of Staff of the 9th Army, and he had been serving under Princess Cape Luna.
But the 9th Army is an army formed by Higgs civilians. This army has always had the style of Higgs and has continued the customs and traditions of the Higgs area.
Later, the Higgs region also became a settlement area for immigrants from the Higgs area, and it was also the region under the jurisdiction of Princess Cape Luna.
This series of connections made General Alfred full of affection for the Higgs region, and he did not want to see this region in ruins.
So as soon as he arrived at Higgs 4, he began to build a strong and complete defensive position, and then launched a beautiful counterattack to repel the Watchers' last invasion.
That time, it was also the first time that the Airansil Empire repelled the Watchers' landing force and recaptured an entire planet.
Now, the guards are desperate to kill them again. General Alfred is still planning to give the invaders a head-on blow and push them back again!
Now that the general has launched a full-scale counterattack to push the enemy back into the universe, the commanders of each unit also have the motivation to counterattack.
On the surface of Higgs 4, the Airansil Empire has built a portal, making troop deployment and reinforcements much more convenient than on Higgs 11.
Therefore, General Alfred was more confident than Dolenotier. He mobilized two armies in one go and once again launched a pincer offensive that had not changed for thousands of years.
There is no way, the one that is used the most is naturally the most useful. This attack method with two wings coming out is also the most effective attack method.
Under attack from the left and right of the two armies, the Watcher troops began to collapse and retreated more than fifty kilometers in one breath before barely maintaining the situation.
However, they were then surrounded, and then General Alfred came to the battlefield in person and witnessed the entire process of the Watchers' troops being annihilated, about 150,000 troops.
After all, the Watchers did not have as powerful reinforcements as the Dragon King, and they did not expect that the Airansil Empire would launch counterattacks from the surfaces of three planets almost at the same time.
According to the Watcher's previous experience, few opponents have such strength and can withstand the Watcher's attack on three battlefields at the same time.
But this time, the Airanhill Empire not only withstood their attack, but also launched a counterattack on three battlefields at the same time.
Although the scale and effect of these three counterattacks are different, they are indeed three large-scale counterattacks!
The counterattack on Higgs 3 was moderately advanced and retreated, and Medias fully achieved the purpose of the campaign. He took advantage of the gaps in the counterattack to repair his position, expand the defensive area, and firmly grasp the initiative in his own hands.
.
The counterattack on the planet Higgs 11 was not successful due to limited troops. However, due to the addition of Albert, one hundred thousand besieged demon troops finally escaped, so it can be said to be a draw.
Higgs 4's counterattack was the largest in terms of scale. General Alfred also had many soldiers and generals, so his counterattack was also the sharpest among the three armies.
Annihilating 150,000 Watcher troops in one fell swoop, the battle situation on the surface of Higgs 4 became unfavorable to the Watchers.
In the end, the Watcher ground force commander, feeling that his pressure had doubled, passed his problems onto the Space Fleet.
He sent a request for help, asking the space fleet to find ways to weaken the enemy fleet in the nearby space domain and provide more support for the ground forces.
As a result, both sides broke up on bad terms. The Space Fleet's Guardian Commander felt that he had too much time to take care of himself and had no energy to take care of the ground battle.
However, not all progress has been made by the Watcher force during this period: a fleet finally succeeded in infiltrating the planet and raided the planet Higgs 7 of the Elantyr Empire, completely destroying the Elantyr Empire civilization there.
Yes, total destruction! Total destruction in the true sense!
When the reinforcements from the Airanthil Empire arrived at the planet Higgs 7, there was no trace of any civilization here.
It was the same as the planet Higgs 5 back then. It was completely destroyed by the Watcher forces, and even the traces of civilization were wiped out. Nothing was left, no traces were left! And here... many people once lived here.
Much life!
The Tree of Life was completely destroyed, and all life on the planet was wiped out in the process of atmospheric collapse.
"These damn bastards..." A soldier from the Airanthil Empire in a spacesuit looked at the gray, lifeless desolation in front of him and cursed through gritted teeth.
"I heard that they claim to be fighting for the gods! Bullshit! If gods are like this, then gods should die!" Another soldier grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and cursed with tears streaming down his face.
He has a cousin who is farming on Higgs 7, and he sent an email a few months ago to show off his farm here.
As for Higgs 7, a planet that has been cultivated for more than a year, there is even a densely populated and prosperous city here.
Millions of people of all ethnic groups live on this planet. They farm hard and work and produce without complaint, but in the end they are devoured by the enemy overnight.
By the time the patrol fleet of the Airansil Empire arrived and destroyed the Watcher fleet hovering in the orbit of the planet Higgs 7, there was no way to save it.
Finally, the troops of the Airanthil Empire finally saw with their own eyes what happened on the planet Higgs 5.
They finally knew what happened to that planet at that time, and why the guardians left only a desperate desolation.
Under the surveillance of the Space Fleet, the Watcher's troops, that is, a large number of Sweepers and Destroyers, after destroying the security forces, began to devour everything in the local area and reproduce.
Eventually, everything is devoured, and the geometrically growing sweepers leave nothing behind. They eat people, eat buildings, destroy the tree of life, and then destroy themselves.
They dissipate on their own like environmentally friendly plastic bags, leaving only a planet with nothing left behind.
All this happened under the eyes of people. This time, no one doubted the necessity and controversy of this war.
In the past, wars were all about resource plunder and territorial expansion. Such wars were purposeful.
However, in this war against the Watchers, the enemy's purpose is to "completely destroy" the civilization of Elanthir. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone, so this war is not mediation and can only
It continues until one side of the war is completely wiped out.
What they saw in front of them strengthened everyone's belief in continuing to resist the Watchers, and it also became the starting point for a new round of propaganda offensive by the Elanshir Empire.
No way, no amount of publicity can be as shocking as a genuine live video. When people saw the scene of Higgs 7 before and compared it with the appearance of Higgs 7 at this moment, no one mentioned it again.
What is the expression of summation?
Because as the war continued, the massive losses gave many people different views. They felt that it was unhealthy for two such powerful forces to be at odds with each other, and that both sides should try to sit down and communicate.
Although there are very few people who think like this, it does not mean that there are not a few fools among the population of hundreds of billions. It is really a matter of course.
There is no way, there are people who eat the food of the Chinese people and smash the bowls of the Chinese people. The kind of people who go to the Jingguo Temple and wear the war flag can make a fortune openly. How many people are there in the Ailan Hill Empire?
What's so strange about someone who thinks he's smart and makes crazy comments?
But it is a pity that there is almost no market for this kind of people in the Elanthir Empire. Although they do exist, they have never made any waves.
It is still a matter of course: on the one hand, the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of the Airanhill Empire is at its peak, and people will naturally not accept people who question His Majesty the Emperor's decision-making.
On the other hand, the reason is that the other side of the Watchers has no intention of peace talks at all, so how can there be any market for the peace faction of the Elanthir Empire?
Therefore, sometimes, those who appear to be sensible and sit on the fence are actually just using their hot face to stick to the cold butt of others.
"It's really... people don't know what to say." After seeing the news from the front line, Jessica, who was responsible for organizing, summarizing, and approving the release of news, rubbed her eyebrows.
She is the minister of the Culture Department of the Airanhill Empire and is in charge of this area of work. Seeing the recent intelligence gathered, she also feels a little overwhelmed.
First, there were five battles on the frontline of the Airanhill Empire. They had three wins and two draws, resulting in an undefeated record.
Especially the victory on the planet Higgs 4, where more than 145,000 enemy troops were wiped out in one fell swoop, it was really exciting to report it.
However, the disastrous defeat of Higgs 7 happened almost at the same time, which flawed the victory of the Elanshir Empire.
"Should we polish it up a bit..." One of his subordinates suggested after considering it for a moment.
"Or... just suppress it and report it... in a few days?" Another official from the Ministry of Culture also spoke up and expressed his thoughts.
These two people are both ministerial-level officials with real power. In the officialdom of the Elanhill Empire, their rankings are not low.
However, even so, they are still cautious, low-key and respectful in front of their immediate superiors, or in front of the royal family of the Eilanhir Empire.
"No need." Jessica softly rejected the two people's suggestions: "Reverse the order! The news about Higgs 7 will be released first...the theme is set on praying for the victims and revenge for the victims!"
"Here, isn't the battle of Higgs 4 not completely over yet? Then wait for now." Jessica gave her own reason: "Wait until the final result is reached before sending it out!"
After understanding Jessica's intention, the two subordinates understood it immediately, so they immediately agreed and went to arrange the news.
Jessica once again picked up a photo from the planet Higgs 7 on the table, her eyes full of regret: "I hope... something like this will never happen again in the future..."
