Chapter 725 - Only Fight for a Guaranteed Win (1/2)

"Retreat!" cried Billy Boy when he noticed that the enemies were rushing in from the rear to re-fill the void that Jiang Fei had created.

Even though reducing the number of enemies was crucial, stay alive was far more important to win the battle.

There were over a million enemies and every one of them did not fear death. Empyreal Dragon had only over 40,000 players left to guard the convoy. Out of the 40,000, 10,000 of them were stationed at the front of the convoy to take care of invisible enemies.

30,000 against 1,700,000 players… Even a monkey would know to run away when they were outnumbered. There was no way they could win, according to Billy Boy's calculations. Right now, he had suspected that Jiang Fei might have something up his sleeves. With that knowledge, all he could do was to delay as long as he can.

"Look! They're right there!"

"Our brothers need our help!"

"For the glory of Empyreal Dragon!"

…

Far in the back, behind the soldiers of Light Faction, came the voice of Empyreal Dragon's reinforcement.

"It's about damn time!" cried Lady Casanova. She had informed Jiang Fei as soon as she had spotted them coming closer in the mini-map.

"We're saved!"

"Here comes the chivalry!"

…

Everyone in the convoy cheered loudly as soon as they heard that the reinforcement had arrived. With boosted morale, 30,000 players charged in fiercely and pushed the enemies down the highlands, all the way down to the foot of the hill.

Sadly, the reality was cruel as the fact that having over a million enemies had proven too hard to defeat. Their morale was not much help since the enemies were too large. The shape of the terrain had only made it close to impossible to push them back since behind the front lines were more jam-packed with players! At most, the momentary burst of vigor had only lasted for several minutes before they were forced to return to the convoy. The enemies had pushed back to their original position, into the highlands.

"Sigh…" Billy Boy sighed heavily.

Due to the sheer number of enemies between the two sides, reinforcement of Empyreal Dragon could never reach the convoy without first dealing with the enemies sandwiched between them. Two sides of the Empyreal Dragon were like buns while the Light Faction was the meat in between. A very large meat… The difference between the two sides was too large.

If the Light Faction wanted it, they could simply allocate a few hundred thousand players to deal with the reinforcement and then return to the main army. It was that simple. In the best case scenario, Billy Boy would force the convoy to retreat down the highland by forcing their way down. That way, they could group up with the reinforcement and push through. Sadly, the convoy could not move backward. The system would not allow it. If they insisted on leaving the convoy, it would be vulnerable to anyone in the front. Losing 3 levels was not something Billy Boy could gamble with. In the end, the very thing that Jiang Fei needed to transport had become the bane of their existence!

"Take 200,000 players and block the flies in the back. The rest shall move forward as planned," ordered the commander of the entire army with a smirk on his face. The highland was perfect for defenses and theoretically, Jiang Fei should have the upper hand. Even so, he was able to turn it against them!
