Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 774: Chapter 508: The Finale of the Fortress Defense Battle_1

The rising thick smoke from the direction of the camp behind them was noticed.

Not only were the eyes of the Red Devil filled with disbelief, but his speech also stopped abruptly.

Even the Saint Night soldiers surrounding them had expressions of shock, almost unable to believe their own eyes.

For a moment, apart from the continuous explosions and shouts of killing nearby.

This area was unnervingly silent.

This extreme silence contrasted sharply with the surrounding dynamic battlefield, appearing out of place.

As everyone was stunned.

A panic-stricken staff officer rolled and crawled to the Red Devil’s side, directly prostrating on the ground, reporting: “Lord Red Devil, our camp has been violently attacked, and the Absolute Defense Barrier has been shattered. I’m afraid our supplies can’t be saved!”

“What?!”

Hearing this, the Red Devil’s aged face showed a pair of bloodshot, grayish-white eyes, seemingly about to burst from their sockets.

It must be known that the Absolute Defense Barrier in the rear camp was deployed with three of the most elite Mage Squads.

Its solidity, even if the wiped-out Griffin Knight Squadron dropped all their Alchemy Bombs, could not be broken.

Besides, there were also three elite Archer Middle Teams and four elite Heavy Infantry Middle Teams stationed in the camp.

With this thousand-strong Tier 2 elite force relying on the Absolute Defense Barrier, it was enough to force ten Tier 4 Powerhouses to retreat!

“So, how exactly did the enemy do this?! Could it be…there really is a Tier 5 Powerhouse in that mysterious assistance’s camp?!”

Realizing this, a chill ran through the Red Devil’s mind.

It was then that he fully understood how terrifying that mysterious helper, hidden in the shadows, was.

“First, they dismantled August’s City Offering, then swallowed up my most elite Assault Legion. After that, they used their plan to their advantage, and successively crippled my two long-range legions.”

Recalling the events of this Fortress Defense Battle, the Red Devil couldn’t help but take a deep breath full of the bloody and burnt smell in the air, causing uproar in his heart.

“Then, with a swift and decisive move, the mysterious helper broke my Griffin Knight Squadron, the disappeared Eighth Army Corps, and the Dark Devourer Association’s Powerhouses, these three almost certain winning cards. In the end, they even directly raided my camp?!”

Looking at the Forest-side Fortress still standing strong in the face of the fierce attacks, the old eyes of the Red Devil were filled with astonishment.

“Originally, I thought that my three trump cards would undoubtedly sway the balance of victory in my favor and welcome the advent of the goddess of victory. But I did not expect that the enemy’s cards were the real kings of this war.”

“What is even more chilling is that the mysterious helper, even with such a top-tier combatant as a Tier 5 Powerhouse by their side, could stay calm and only act at the very last moment…”

“In short, looking back on the various aspects of this battle, such a calm and calculated strategy and arrangement sends chills down one’s spine! General White could have never done this with his simple mind!”

Thinking this, the Red Devil’s expression became increasingly somber and puzzled.

He roared inwardly: “Who am I fighting against, then? Or, who is this mysterious helper, and what kind of expert are they?!”

As the Red Devil’s emotions stirred and fluctuated,

Looking at the thick, billowing smoke in the direction of the far-off camp,

There was no more killing intent on the faces of the Saint Night soldiers around them, but only unease and panic.

For a moment, morale and fighting spirit had dropped to an all-time low.

“Lord Red Devil, retreat! We, the Saint Night, no longer have any chance of winning!”

Directly opposite, the middle-aged Vice General knelt down on one knee again, with a bowed head, pleading.

“We second the motion!”

The other staff officers also made the same movement in succession.

Hearing the requests of the military officers, this time, the tightly clenched fist of the Red Devil finally opened helplessly.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he didn’t hesitate anymore and immediately waved his hand, ordering: “First, instruct all Hydro Magicians to create muddy terrain on the must-pass road at the foot of the mountain.

Next, set up the abatis and the caltrops to hamper the opposing cavalry’s pursuit. Lastly, have the various corps’ light and heavy infantry teams cover the rear. Retreat!”

A short while later, the sound of the somber retreat horn echoed through the entire battlefield.

…

“That’s great! The Saint Night Army is finally retreating!”

At the same time, in a hidden area at the city wall of the Forest-side Fortress, Ariel Watson looked at the Saint Night soldiers retreating like a flood from the city and couldn’t suppress the joy on her delicate face.

She looked at Leo Ray standing calmly beside her and excitedly said: “Everything is indeed as you predicted!”

At this moment, as the Princess Cold Flame, Ariel clearly understood.

Before her, the calm and collected youth who had arrived from another world had not only successfully repelled the eight corps of the Saint Night Army and thwarted their plot to attack the three fortresses,

but he had also indirectly saved countless defenseless Coldflame Citizens behind the fortresses!

Such a glorious achievement was enough for this youth from another world to be recorded in the annals of Coldflame history and
