Chapter 324: Completely being fooled by the enemy (2/2)
They were currently being slaughtered by the War Hounds right in front of Dongfang Zhan!
The hearts of the Southern Summer army fell into a valley.They had already thought they had won, but they were slammed with the facts in front of them.When they were faced with this wild and powerful army, fear began to fill the hearts of every person here.
“Kill all humans!”
The Demonic Wolf Cavalry tore through the Southern Summer cavalry like a giant black sword, currently stabbing out at the frontline fortress.The Southern Summer soldiers seemed like they had awakened from a dream as the various commanders immediately gave their orders.
“Prepare for battle!”
“We must stop them outside of the walls!”
At this time, the Fang King raised the Purple Gold Lightning God Drum high up, “Bestow strength upon me!”A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the purple gold drum. The Fang King suddenly threw out the weapon and it slammed into the wall gates with a violent power, instantly creating a giant hole in the gates.
The Southern Summer garrison were sent flying with pitiful cries.
Too terrifying!
This weapon’s strength is simply unheard of before!
The Fang King’s strength was already enough to fill them with panic, but after the Fang King destroyed the wall gates with a single attack, the Demonic Wolf Cavalry jumped over the deep and wide moat and charged into the fortress.The Southern Summer generals cried out in panic.
“The west line has been lost, the west line has been lost!”
“Requesting backup, requesting urgent backup!”
The entire fortress was filled with pitiful and sad cries.In front of this terrifying army, even the frontline army that the Southern Summer Country was proud of collapsed with a single blow like a piece of paper!
Dongfang Zhan tightly gripped his fist in anger, “It is impossible to build up this army in just a single day.If the War Hound Plains had this kind of army, how could I possible not know about it! Where did they come from!”
Gu Qianqiu urged Dongfang Zhan, “Marshal, the frontline fortress cannot be defended, we must immediately retreat back to Imperial City!”
“You can all leave!”Dongfang Zhan also knew that once the Fang King broke the wall gates, the frontline could no longer be defended, “You must go back and report to Imperial City, tell them to immediately make preparations.Once the frontline defenses fall, they will inevitably go for Imperial City. Once Imperial City falls, the Southern Summer Country cannot be protected anymore!”
Meng Qingwu asked, “Then what about the senior marshal?”
“This old soldier has guarded the frontlines for over fifty years!”Dongfang Zhan stood there holding a spear, facing the waves of Demonic Wolf Cavalry that were coming, “I’ll fight bravely to the last moment!Don’t say anything else! The Southern Summer Country still needs you all! Quickly leave!”
The frontline fortress would not be able to stop this new wave of attacks.
Whether they were willing or not, they had to accept these results!
Right now Imperial City still did not know what happened here.This news had to be sent back to Imperial City, otherwise, how could they resist such a terrifying army?
Chu Tian urged, “With the Calm Martial Ruler absent, Imperial City will need an experienced commanding officer.I think the old general should leave with us still!”
“The Dongfang Family has countless talented generals and the Nangong Family has famous generals like clouds, why do you need this old man?”Dongfang Zhan had already made his decision, “You don’t need to say anything else. This old man has guarded the frontlines for fifty years, I have already disregarded life and death.My blood and flesh have already become a part of the Southern Summer great wall. I must fight for it to the end!”
Chu Tian knit his brows, but Gu Qianqiu stood up, “Country Guarding Ruler, Chairman Meng, since it has become like this, then please respect the old general’s wishes.The Southern Summer Country still needs you all!”
That’s right.
It was impossible for a person like Dongfang Zhan to retreat.Even if he knew remaining here was death, for honour, for his faith, for his vows, he would die fighting to the last second.
Gu Qianqiu and the several dozen griffin knights gather together.He brought out a griffin for Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu, “Go!”
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu cupped their hands to Dongfang Zhan before mounting the griffin and following Gu Qianqiu, leaving the frontline fortress.This news had to be quickly sent to Imperial City, otherwise Imperial City would really be in danger!
At this time, pitiful cries were coming from within the frontline fortress.The Southern Summer troops had suffered serious casualties.
They were already seriously injured, but with the War Hounds Kingdom’s Demonic Wolf Cavalry’s second charge, it only took a quarter of an hour for them to smash the gate.The Demonic Wolf Cavalry swarmed in and fought a life and death battle with the remaining Southern Summer defense army.
The frontline fortress still had around four hundred thousand soldiers which was an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers.
But these armies were scattered and were already very exhausted, using at least half of their spirit energy.They were unable to use any strong battle strength at this time, so the result of the battle was equal to an one sided slaughter.
One Southern Summer soldier after the other died under the butcher’s blade.
This battle scene could already be described as hell on earth!
Dongfang Zhan gathered several tens of thousands of elites in a short period of time and launched a suicidal attack on the War Hounds cavalry.They were able to eliminate around three thousand Demonic Wolf Cavalry with a casualty of ten to one which was already enough to make Dongfang Zhan proud.
This was after all a small country that could not match this kind of powerful army!
The thirty thousand elites by Dongfang Zhan’s side were all killed and there were only a few of his own soldiers still fighting a bloody battle with him.
“The Southern Summer Country will never fall!”
Dongfang Zhan’s body was covered in wounds, with four arrows in him and a spear piercing through his abdomen, but he was chopped down seven Demonic Wolf Riders, before standing atop a mountain of corpses.His white hair danced in the breeze as he was surrounded by the Demonic Wolf Cavalry, with the Fang King riding the Three Headed Demon Wolf in front of him.
Dongfang Zhan gave three wild laughs before suddenly stabbing out with his spear, piercing another two Demonic Wolf Cavalry.
Pa!
This spear was grabbed by a large hand.
Holding the purple gold drum in one hand while riding the Three Headed Demon Wolf over, a pair of cold and cruel eyes were staring right at Dongfang Zhan, “Even in this situation, you still caused quite a bit of damage to my army.You really are worthy of being one of the best Southern Summer Generals.”
“The Southern Summer’s best general is the Calm Martial Ruler, what does this old man count for?”Dongfang Zhan did not need to ask to know the other side’s identity, “If you did not fear the Calm Martial Ruler, why did you lead him away?”
“Surrender!”The Fang King coldly said, “The Southern Summer Country will soon be a vassal state of my War Hounds Country.As long as you surrender and give your loyalty to me, you will still be a famous Southern Summer general!”
Dongfang Zhan’s spirit energy had already been exhausted and he could no longer fight with his severe injuries.Dongfang Zhan disdained responding to the Fang King as he directly pulled out the saber from his waist and a splash of blood could be seen.
Dongfang Zhan stood in the wreckage of the fortress with a body covered in scars and white hair floating on the breeze, but he looked like an angry giant facing the north.
Dongfang Zhan decided to take his own life.
The frontline fortress had completely fallen to the enemies.
