On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen stood on the city wall on the side of the empire, watching the imperial troops withdraw from the doorway. Although gambling and fighting between saints seems to be a bit of a joke to him, this is the law of this world where strength is respected.

The agreement made by the saint must be abided by by Emperor Alfred. After Morales failed, he asked Emperor Alfred to fulfill his promise and then left Blackwood Pass. Xiao Chen didn't know what Morales and the emperor talked about. But judging from the fact that Emperor Alfred did not appear at all later, he must be extremely dissatisfied. But eventually he began to arrange for the empire's troops to begin their retreat. As soon as the imperial people retreated, Wang Jiyuan commanded the army to quickly occupy the key points in Heimu Pass.

The beast soldiers of the empire, under the joint supervision of the Spirit Warriors and Ghost Warriors, began to evacuate one fortification and one house after another. Wang Jiyuan's regiment even blocked several material warehouses close to the Chinese army, expelled the people guarding these warehouses, and refused to allow the imperialists to transport these materials.

Xiao Chen, together with several masters and high-level mages, flew across the battlefield to the city wall on the other side of Heimuguan, not only to observe the retreat of the Imperial people, but also to prevent any accidents from happening to the Imperial people.

The soldiers of the empire have experienced a series of defeats, and their morale has hit rock bottom. The soldiers who walked out of Heimuguan at this time and the imperial soldiers who attacked Heimuguan before felt like they were from two completely different armies. One branch was full of fighting spirit, but this one was dejected.

The formation of these soldiers was loose, and the flags were crooked. From the top of the city, they looked like flies flying everywhere, not like ants marching in formation.

"Actually, I have always felt that it is a pity. If we continue to fight like this, the enemy's strength will be greatly affected, which will be of great help to our subsequent operations." Lorenzo stood on the battlement and looked down. He looked like he wanted to throw a fireball down from here.

"We achieved our tactical goals at the lowest cost. What's wrong with this?" Huang Zheng said, "Don't look at the previous battles. We have achieved a lot of advantages, but this has nothing to do with our preparation and luck. It is also inseparable. If we are really fighting the final battle, the losses will continue to increase. Apart from anything else, at least half of the spider demons have been damaged, and some of them have left the field. Even annihilating the soul. In the future, we will face a large number of the emperor's black guards and imperial guards. They will probably fight with all their strength to defend the palace. Those soldiers have no retreat, and they are different from the elites of the noble families. "

"I just feel it's a pity. The people who support any war are basically people. As long as all the people die, the Empire will be in ruins. You know, I like big scenes." Lorenzo said with a smile.

Xiao Chen said: "If you want to kill their living forces, you don't have to do it in Heimuguan, right? We promised Saint Morales not to conflict with them again near Heimuguan, but we did not promise not to do it again. Let’s teach them a lesson on the land of the empire, right?”

"You mean..." Lorenzo raised his eyebrows and said, "I have always wondered where Luo Ling and Mao Kai went. Now it seems you have made arrangements?"

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "After jointly casting spells to break through the city gate, I asked them to prepare for the next wave of attacks. I just didn't expect the Imperials to retreat so fast. I hope they have time."

——————————————

Luo Ling and Mao Kai arrived at a canyon about ten kilometers away from Heimuguan a long time ago.

According to their judgment, the Imperial people would not stay in their stronghold or Dazhai if they failed. Because the Chinese have no reason not to capture both places at the same time. Therefore, if you want to ambush them, you can only do it on the road.

This nameless canyon is the only crossing to the north that can accommodate large armies. The narrowest point is less than ten meters, and the height of the cliffs on both sides is more than seventy or eighty meters. The terrain is very dangerous, which is perfect for ambush. place.

However, the Imperial people naturally would not leave such a dangerous place unattended. There was a small fortress on the cliff of the canyon, and a guard force was stationed inside. However, since the Imperials have camps and fortresses farther south, this area has actually been behind the front for many years. The defenders here are not strong, their numbers are small, and their defenses have always been relatively lax.

Since the Imperials captured Blackwood Pass, its value has become even lower. The number of guards has been reduced to half of its original number. Later, black water disease also spread here, and the soldiers guarding it died of illness. Or three-quarters of them were gone, and in the end there were only more than 30 people left in the previous 250 people of the imperial detachment.

The enemy troops in such a small stronghold were not worth mentioning to Luo Ling and Mao Kai. Luo Ling used an illusion magic to block the sight of several sentries in the stronghold. While the magic was in effect, these sentries would Feeling a little dazed, they observed that the surrounding scene would not change in any way, but what they saw was actually an illusion created by Luo Ling, and naturally they could not see the magician drawing the magic circle nearby.

After being prepared, Luo Ling began to arrange measures to ambush the opponent in the canyon.

Generally speaking, due to the large number of troops of the Empire, the team must be very long, so Luo Ling and Mao Kai began to set up magic arrays in a range of one kilometer before and after the outpost. Of course, there were more than just the two of them to do such a big project. They each brought four spirit servant mages. Although most of these mages were of low and medium levels, they could also help in setting up simple magic arrays. The magic arrays brought by Luo Ling and others were all ready-made on scrolls. As long as they were fixed, activated and camouflaged, they could play a role in the next battle. Luo Ling and others arranged until the sun set, and basically completed the arrangement of the magic array along the way.

In order not to be noticed by the enemy, most of these traps were arranged on the cliffs on both sides. The magic arrays that made up the traps were modified by Lorenzo of the Tower of Talismans, which enhanced the concealment performance, could converge magic fluctuations, could disguise themselves as the surrounding environment like a chameleon, and could be triggered from a distance by mental power. In addition to the conventional types such as explosion, lightning, freezing, deceleration and weakening curse, there are also many illusion magic arrays that create a terrifying environment, or space interference magic arrays that prevent teleportation. For an army of tens of thousands, direct casualties are a drop in the bucket, but if it can cause panic in the entire army, those beast soldiers will destroy their own weapons.

When Luo Ling and the others finished their arrangements, they saw a long dragon of torches in the distance moving towards this side.
