Purcell: Lord of the Void

However, despite the strong fighting power, the limitation of numbers is always a flaw. Under the enemy's repeated attacks, the number of soldiers around Hodel is getting smaller and smaller. And he himself is gradually losing strength under the siege of the four emperors.

Hodel was about to become the second Elf King to die in this battle. A ball of sparks appeared in the sky. Under the dark night sky, it was so dazzling. The flames kept getting bigger and bigger in people's sight. Finally, they turned into the head of an ancient beast. And in the flames, there was a person wrapped in it - the Immortal Ains.

Irons descended from the sky with blazing flames, and the moment he landed, all the soldiers who had just surrounded him were turned into ashes in the flames. All the attacks were bounced back by the effect of "Eternal Fire".

Suddenly, flames were everywhere, soldiers were wailing, and the four emperors were not feeling well either. Their expressions were very serious. The combat power of Thunder Flame Douhuang, Pojun Zhanhuang, Dark Sky Shadow Emperor, and Xuanyao Shenghuang was not very strong. Even if they evolved to their perfect form, their overall combat power was just above second-rate.

It was OK for the four of them to fight against an ordinary second-level Elf King together. But if there was another one, they would go from hunters to prey.

Thinking of this, they could not help but retreat. As they retreated, the originally orderly troops began to become chaotic. Irons and Hodel took advantage of the situation and led the soldiers to attack. They gained a lot.

But Kubesa and the ducks who arrived later blocked their attack. The sky was about to brighten, and the artillery fire that had been resounding all night gradually stopped. This also meant that even on the front battlefield, the Elf King's troops still did not make the desired progress.

The Elf Kings had no choice but to retreat. Although this operation had some gains, it was definitely not a success. The Shadow Elf Kings also lost a large number of elite troops. They barely managed to draw.

In the following days, the Elf Kings tried various methods, but they were all resolved by the city's guards. When they dug tunnels, the other side pushed a hollow pipe deep into the ground. Once they heard any movement, they would directly throw explosives; when they flooded the city, they used the city's geographical advantages to quickly drain the water, but it was basically useless... There is no need to mention other methods.

After a week or two of such fierce attacks, the bodies of the attacking troops were basically as high as the cliff. The number of casualties exceeded 10,000, and the number of injured was countless. Faced with such heavy losses, even the elite troops could not help but feel a little scared.

However, the Holy Light Alliance was just slacking off at best, while the Dark Sky Army trapped in the city was really living a miserable life. Although they temporarily resisted the opponent's attack with their extremely tenacious will and sophisticated tactical arrangements, how long could they keep it up?

It took several years to build, and it was said to be an immortal super barrier that could withstand thousands of years. Under the fierce attack of the Holy Light, it was completely destroyed in just two weeks. All kinds of supplies in the city have run out. Most of the personnel have been lost. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before they fail.

After some discussion, although Tianxie Dragon King had warned them, the people in the city still decided to send a Jingwei reconnaissance team to seek help. On a dark and windy night, the team set out.

However, just as they left the city's sight, a large army appeared before them, led by the Dimension King Fried.

King Pu is an old general who has been on the battlefield for many years. His judgment of the battlefield situation is quite accurate. No matter what, this city is so big and can only accommodate so many supplies. Even if there is a supply channel, it is just a drop in the bucket. It will not be able to withstand consumption over time.

Seeking reinforcements is their only way out.

So he arranged for the Elf Kings to take turns on duty early on, but this time it happened to be the turn of the Dimension King Fried.

After escaping the encirclement and traveling overnight, they were already exhausted. It was obviously impossible for them to fight again. So as soon as they came into contact, this elite squad collapsed directly. They were all annihilated in the encirclement. More than 2000 were beheaded.

This tactical victory boosted the originally low morale of the army. A letter of persuasion to surrender was also shot directly into the city.

It seemed that the Holy Light Alliance was gradually winning back the initiative in this battle. But you never know when tomorrow or an accident will come. Soon, news that the Elf Kings had not expected came out. In the border area of ​​the Hurricane Nebula, monitoring showed that a large group of troops were approaching quickly.

In fact, Tianxie Dragon King had been prepared for a long time. He had led his team to set out a few days before the attack began. The reason why he moved so slowly was intentional.

After all, the Holy Light Alliance is a battle-hardened army with extremely strong combat power. Even after being divided, they cannot be underestimated. If you rush to rescue them, if your troops are defeated, then you will not be able to defend the city.

As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. The fortress of the Sky Evil Dragon King is very strong, even the Holy Light Alliance cannot attack it in a short time.

If they cannot take the city for a long time, their morale will inevitably decline. It is best for a large force to attack at this time.

Now it was the turn of the Holy Light Alliance to make a choice. Either they should go all out and attack the city with all their might. Try to capture it before the enemy reinforcements arrive. Then hold on to the city, or they should return to fight a decisive battle. Win the victory in one battle.

There is no doubt that these are two feasible options, but they also carry considerable risks. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

King Pu thought for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind. So he gave the choice to the generals to discuss. The camp was covered with grass. There were two opinions. The two sides argued for a whole day but there was no result.

At this time, the only shortcoming of Odneri, the ancient Elf King, was revealed - hesitation.

In fact, O'Dernier was a very good general. He was cautious by nature, took steady steps, led by example, and was considerate of his soldiers. However, the reason why he could only become a first-class general, rather than a top-notch general, was because he always lacked one thing - decisiveness.

As the oldest Elf King and the head of the King's Sanctuary, he is actually better at reconciling various conflicts. He becomes the lubricant between every member and constantly seeks the greatest common denominator in the team. Under his leadership, Elf Kings with different personalities can work together.

However, on the battlefield, the majority opinion often does not represent the truth. A truly top-notch general must have the courage to command the world and dare to break the rules to command the army.

So at this critical moment, the weakness hidden deep in King Pu's character became a fatal flaw, leading him to make an irreversible decision.

"Divide the troops and deal with the two forces at the same time." In Odenari's opinion, the forces led by the Sky Evil Dragon King should indeed be the main force. He might not be able to defeat them head-on, but if he just defended, he should be able to do it.

But this time, he was wrong. The Sky Evil Dragon King brought all his wealth to play a gamble with him. The stakes of this gamble were the world, and the price was their lives and the lives of thousands of elves.

So he was not leading the main force, but all of them. He emptied all the remaining troops of the entire Dark Sky.
