Having their escape route cut off was an immense humiliation for the four of them.
Because in every holy war, the mainland central army has always had the upper hand, those people should be thankful that they don't take the initiative to attack. This is the first time that they have been counterattacked, especially since the counterattack was effective.
"We must go back immediately and retake Hundred Battles Pass!"
A general spoke, his face ashen, as if he had eaten a dead child.
The two generals nodded. For them, the more they lost Baizhan Pass to the enemy, the greater the humiliation.
Upon returning, they would also face reprimands from their respective kings.
Moreover, with their supply lines cut off, it will be difficult to maintain morale if this problem is not resolved as soon as possible.
The three men made their decision and were about to lead their troops back to reinforce the city when another general spoke up, offering a different opinion: "The enemy has already taken Baizhan Pass. If we go back now, we will only be cutting our losses. Why not take advantage of the fact that the enemy's main fighting force is not in the city and take the cities in front of us first!"
Upon hearing this, two generals hesitated, weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
But the first general who had just spoken sneered: "What if we fail to capture these three cities immediately, and instead allow the enemy to entangle us here, and cut off our retreat? What should we do then?"
"We can't afford to gamble now; it's safer to retake the city gate as soon as possible."
He was somewhat annoyed, annoyed that these bastards dared to do such a thing, which was a deliberate provocation.
When someone is angry, they tend to speak impulsively.
The other three generals were the same; they didn't take it to heart, but they also felt that what he said made sense.
The Allied forces quickly returned to reinforce, and the news was naturally not kept secret, causing an uproar throughout the army.
Countless people were furious, feeling it was a provocation and that those bastards had to be wiped out to wash away the shame.
The entire army was in high spirits, and Ariel and the others naturally did not expect to be able to hold the pass. After taking Hundred Battles Pass, they began to prepare to retreat.
When the army returned to reinforce, they offered little resistance and abandoned the city.
To their surprise, the city had very few resources; in fact, it was practically destitute.
This made them wonder if the four kingdoms had become so impoverished.
Ariel and the others retreated, but the four kingdoms were unwilling to give up. They left a group of people to guard the area, and dozens of experts chased after them.
They engaged in continuous aerial combat, fighting and retreating as they went.
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the front line.
Upon seeing the enemy retreat, the old man who remained at Lily Territory seized the opportunity and led his men out to fight his way out.
This was agreed upon when the plan was first formulated. The old man would act according to circumstances. If the allied forces of the kingdom had enough manpower and strength to stay behind, then he would do nothing. But if they were not strong enough, they would go out and take back all the lost cities.
Seeing this, the young leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group sensed something was wrong and looked at the old man with a grim expression: "Wasn't it supposed to be a night raid? Where are Lily and the others? Why did they retreat? This is completely different from what was agreed upon."
The intimate address made the old man sneer, but he remained very calm: "My lord led his men in a night raid on Baizhan Pass. These men retreated, and now is the best time to break out."
The old fox and the minotaur's eyes lit up. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the other party's unauthorized decision without prior notice, they were quite pleased with the current situation.
"kill!"
Without saying a word, the two of them immediately expressed their opinions.
3:1
The young leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group couldn't say anything more, but he felt that he had been tricked. His collusion with the Kingdom's Allied Forces had been exposed, and his situation might not be good in the future.
The army charged out, initially because they had been on the defensive and were constantly on the move, leaving many unsure of their chances and their morale somewhat low.
But as they captured two cities in succession, the soldiers gradually realized that the allied forces of the opposing kingdoms were not so formidable after all. Their momentum was unstoppable, and they managed to recapture almost all of the lost cities in one fell swoop.
They were rebuffed at the last fortified city, which once belonged to the Lily Territory.
A portion of the withdrawn Kingdom Alliance forces remained here, including many highly skilled individuals. With the remaining manpower of the four major powers, it would be difficult to conquer this place in a short time, but it was still an inspiring victory.
The army retreated to the cities they had just captured, and the soldiers celebrated wildly. The leaders of the four major powers were also quite excited.
Su Qing noticed the situation and slowly flew into the city.
The old man noticed his return and immediately greeted him with a smile, behaving very politely.
Because Su Qing had never officially joined the Lily Clan and had always been an unofficial member, the other three elders, apart from Ariel, had always treated him with indifference, but were now quite enthusiastic.
Because Su Qing's plan was quite successful.
Seeing the kind old man showing concern for her well-being, Su Qing was flattered and said, "Don't be so polite, just give me more treasure!"
The old man's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly composed himself: "We need to wait for the lord to return before making a decision."
Su Qing nodded, somewhat expectant, after all, Ariel had always been a very generous woman.
Although this time the Hundred Battles Pass was looted and the wealth value soared to 60 million.
The wealth increased by a full ten million, but who would complain about having too much wealth? Especially now that the dog system has raised the price of skills, he feels his heart clench every time he makes a purchase.
As the man and the dragon were talking, dozens of figures streaked across the sky like streaks of light and quickly fell into the city. In addition, dozens more figures floated in the sky, each with a cold and piercing gaze.
"You are provoking us!"
Before he could say anything more, a voice as powerful as a tidal wave rolled in from the distant Hundred Battles Pass, tens of thousands of miles away: "Bastards, locusts, I'm going to kill you all!"
That was one of the four generals, whose strength reached the half-step title level, on the same level as Ariel and the leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group. His combat power might not be as good as Ariel's, but it was still absolutely terrifying.
His furious roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Ariel and the others were somewhat bewildered, not understanding why the other party was so furious, hadn't they already taken back the city gate?
And even if you're angry, why wait until now to explode?
Su Qing felt a little guilty.
Su Qing knew very well what ten million wealth points meant. Could it be that he had plundered all the resources the other side used to launch this war?
Thinking about it, the possibility is quite high.
Before long, nearly a hundred figures appeared out of nowhere. The four leaders had icy eyes: "Hand over everything, or we'll fight to the death today!"
Su Qing didn't guess everything correctly, but she got it pretty much right. All those resources combined were about one-third of the resources needed for this war, but that was just the initial expenditure; the remaining resources would have to be delivered gradually.
Without these resources, the allied forces of the four kingdoms will face a serious question: how will they even survive, let alone fight a war?
