Chapter 1340 Bloodthirsty is in a panic
The current situation is undoubtedly something the greenskins had never expected.
He had just broken through the Zongheng realm and became the new emperor's bloody hand, but he was killed by the joint attack of Emperor Zhou and Saint Laurent I, becoming the emperor with the shortest reign in the greenskin camp.
But from another perspective, he also enjoyed treatment that no other known green-skinned emperor had ever had, that is, being attacked by both a magician in the Out-of-Body Realm and a warrior in the Horizontal and Vertical Realm at the same time.
If the greenskins were to compile a history book, this alone would be enough to make him leave his name in the history book.
During this time, somewhere outside the battlefield, Bloodthirsty was now very panicked. Because of the previous mission to ambush the Centaur cavalry, he chased Lex for a long distance.
At that time, he was not aware that Bloody Hand was planning to counterattack the large coalition forces that were pursuing them. In fact, Bloody Hand had not made up his mind yet.
When Lex had left him behind and he was forced to retreat, he discovered that their main force had disappeared without a trace.
After that, I took a lot of effort to find this place, but as soon as I arrived at the outskirts, I was completely shocked by the scene inside.
A small man of light flew out from somewhere in the sky, and struck down with lightning, one bolt more fierce than the last. Then, incandescent sword lights kept flying out from below.
At this stage, there is only one person in their greenskin camp who can withstand such a situation, and that is Bloody Hand who had just broken through to the Zongheng realm.
Bloodthirsty had no idea where the little light man who struck out lightning came from, but he was familiar with the incandescent sword light. That was the method used by Saint Laurent I, a powerful man in the realm of Zongheng. If nothing unexpected happened, the former emperor died at the hands of that guy.
Faced with this situation, the bloodthirsty king was at a loss as to whether he should go forward or not.
Before he could think about it for two seconds, the lightning stopped, the sword light disappeared, and the little light man who was striking the lightning turned into a stream of light and flew to the outskirts of the battlefield. This scared him so much that he thought he was exposed.
Then, what happened in the next second made him feel relieved, but at the same time, his scalp tingled.
The stream of light fell into the battlefield, immediately causing layers of flames.
The flames continued to sweep in all directions, and wherever they passed, all the greenskins were burned to charcoal in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a large number of their outer troops were wiped out, and even the goblin shamans hiding in the rear suffered.
After the little light man left, the entire area had completely turned into a scorched earth.
Even though he was the green-skinned king who had reached the peak of the Vajra Realm, he had never seen such an exaggerated scene in all these years.
During this period, the sword light of Saint Laurent I began to fly all over the battlefield.
As a greenskin king, he may not like to use his brain so much, but that definitely doesn't mean he has no brains.
Previously, the Little Light Man and Saint Laurent I were obviously besieging the same target, but now, they are fighting each other. What does this mean? This means that the guy they are besieging, that is, Blood Hand, is already dead! Realizing this, the Bloodthirsty King was horrified and lost his will to fight. After a slight hesitation, he quickly found an opportunity to issue a retreat order.
The sound of the retreat horn soon resounded throughout the entire battlefield, and the greenskin soldiers who received the order began to retreat in small groups.
The execution and obedience of the greenskin soldiers have always been limited. In such a chaotic battle, the bloodthirsty king also knew that he could not expect too much, and now he could only take as many troops as he could.
With this thought in mind, the bloodthirsty king did not show up throughout the process and directly began to order the main force to retreat.
They had to be thankful that it was the middle of the night. Under the cover of darkness, even if the coalition forces wanted to pursue, they lacked the ability to do so, allowing them to evacuate the battlefield relatively smoothly.
After the greenskin army retreated, the coalition forces, which had never thought of pursuing them, quickly dealt with post-war work while the various forces within them also gathered together and held a small meeting.
“I didn’t expect that Blood Hand King would actually break through.”
At the meeting, Marshal Adolf was surprised and happy about this night attack.
Combined with the fact that Bloody King had successfully broken through this point, and by reverse reasoning from the greenskin army's actions this time, it was not difficult for them to analyze what the other party was planning.
It was obvious that Blood Hand King wanted to take advantage of this information gap and catch them off guard.
If we follow the other party's train of thought and let him succeed, the entire situation of that night will be completely reversed.
However, Blood Hand King obviously did not expect that compared with before, they had one more out-of-body mage on their side!
Zhou Xu, who successfully broke through to the out-of-body state, became the most crucial factor in this battle, making all the calculations of Blood Hand King completely fail.
Not only that, he even got himself involved.
This time, they not only disrupted the greenskin army's night attack, but also completely destroyed the greenskins' trump card for counterattack.
After this battle, generals from all sides, including Marshal Adolf, were basically certain that the greenskins had completely lost the strength to challenge them.
After such a long battle, we basically had no sleep that night. After a round of post-war work, it was almost daybreak.
After daybreak, the coalition forces directly dispatched air forces to search for the whereabouts of the greenskin army.
Of course, everyone knows that at this point the symbolic significance of this action is greater than its practical significance.
Previous experience had clearly told them that the greenskins on the opposite side knew how to avoid the search of their air forces.
At this point they have definitely found cover and are hiding.
"Why don't we send out ground troops to continue advancing and conduct in-depth exploration of all the woodlands along the way that could hide the greenskin army!"
Inside the coalition's meeting tent, seeing that victory was imminent, Fisher excitedly put forward his ideas.
However, it was rejected by a number of commanders, including Marshal Adolf and Li Ce.
"The greenskin soldiers' recovery ability is better than ours. After the battle last night, they have been busy with post-war work and have not yet finished it. The soldiers are not in good condition right now. It is not a wise choice to launch a pursuit now."
Marshal Adolf paused while speaking.
"The Greenskins are doomed now. The death of King Bloody Hand has cut off their last means of counterattack. They can no longer be a match for our coalition. There is no need to rush. We should hold our ground and continue the pursuit after we have adjusted our status."
Having said that, Marshal Adolf turned his head and looked at Li Ce standing beside him.
"General Li Ce, what do you think?"
Li Ce, whose name was called, nodded.
"My thoughts are the same as Marshal Adolf's. There is no need to rush."
