Chapter 1538 - 1538 892 Encirclement and Breakthrough_1

Chapter 1538: Chapter 892: Encirclement and Breakthrough_1 Chapter 1538: Chapter 892: Encirclement and Breakthrough_1 Accompanied by a series of rumbling Magic Cannon blasts, the Earl’s army was once again engulfed in flames and smoke.

This time, it was our newly rebuilt Magic Cannon positions that launched the attack.

In order to maintain the normal operation of the “Fortress Wall”, our main force of powerful warriors had all gathered within the Magic Tower, unable to spare any energy to charge the Tier 3 Magic Cannons.

However, at this distance, our ordinary Tier 2 Magic Cannons were already enough to penetrate the wind barrier and bring fire and fear back to the enemy.

“Soldiers, let these corrupt nobles clearly realize that the new era led by the Princess and Mr. Lane has arrived. In the face of the surging tide of the times, they will be completely defeated!”

At the forefront of our Magic Cannon position, Xenia Blackwood, acting as Deputy General Joshua, commanded with a cold face, “Fire at full strength!”

Hearing Xenia’s voice, the morale of our Magic Cannon troops soared. The endless barrage of cannon fire drew deadly fiery arcs in the dark night sky, constantly heading towards the enemy camp.

Meanwhile, our central army’s longbowmen had also entered the firing range. Under Asher Porter’s command, they similarly rained arrows down on the enemy camp.

At this point, after being held back by Sean, the Pterosaur Knight, and others, it only took a few moments for our side to switch from passive defense to active offense, leaving the enemy in utter disarray and ceaseless wailing.

“Is this the ever-changing battlefield? As long as we seize the opportunity, the balance of victory will tilt in our favor.”

With the chaos on the enemy side easing the pressure on charging the “Fortress Wall”, Ariel Watson sighed in her heart, “Lord is truly amazing, deploying just a small force to completely change the situation of a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.”

“What are you idiots waiting for? Retreat!”

Seeing his side being completely suppressed, Earl Jenkins had no choice but to issue an angry order to retreat.

“Don’t retreat any further; once the enemy takes the wind barrier, we will completely lose our range advantage.”

Sean’s gloomy voice resounded as a loose army of traditional nobles blocked the way, stopping the retreat of Earl Jenkins’ two remaining long-range legions.

At this moment, while Earl’s troops had just escaped the majority of the cannon fire’s threat, they still couldn’t be considered completely safe.

“General Sean, what is the meaning of this?”

Earl’s voice now contained a hint of murderous intent, “Do Your Excellency want to send my soldiers to their deaths?”

“How could that be? This general is not like those new aristocrats.”

Sean shrugged indifferently and said, “This general will soon annihilate the enemy, and you just need to provide support from the rear.”

“As expected of the strongest close-combat general among traditional nobles. We will rely on Your Excellency then.”

Earl’s face softened slightly, nodding, “Don’t worry, I will support Your Excellency as much as possible. After all, our loss and honor are now tied together. Please don’t forget that.”

“Of course.”

With an unruffled expression, Sean continued, “So, aside from your two long-range legions, this general has specifically arranged a close-combat legion to protect you. As for the command of the remaining new aristocratic legions, please hand it over.”

“The enemy is cunning, and I need a new aristocratic legion to protect me.”

Earl naturally wouldn’t only let the traditional nobles, arranged by Sean, guard his rear. He added, “As for the other new aristocratic legions, they are willing to cooperate with Your Excellency in battle.”

After speaking, Earl nodded to another new aristocratic legion commander waiting nearby, signaling him to stay and defend.

Earl understood that the situation was urgent and there was no time to continue entangling with the enemy.

With one new aristocratic legion protecting them, as well as the two leftover new aristocratic long-range legions in his hands, they’d be more than able to get through the battles between Cyan City’s weak troops and traditional nobles while barely breaking a sweat. They wouldn’t be left without self-preservation, and they’d even be able to fire a few cold shots.

After all, when chaos ensues, enemy and friendly infantry will fill the battlefield, along with the hindrance of the wind barrier, the enemy’s two long-range legions will naturally be unable to reach their side.

Once the two sides suffer heavy losses, the initiative will fall back into the hands of the new aristocracy.

“Understood, everything will be as Your Excellency command.”

Sean immediately agreed to Earl’s request and gestured for the traditional nobles to retreat while taking the other few legion commanders away from the scene.

Like Earl Jenkins, Sean also had his own little plan.

Soon, he would put all the new aristocratic legions in the most dangerous positions.

Although these ordinary legions had low morale, they had already reached the point of a final showdown and would surely exert some combat power.

Once thess new aristocratic soldiers are exhausted, the sharpness of Cyan City’s weak troops will also be whittled down.

At that time, launching his main force in a sweeping attack, Cyan City’s weak troops would be doomed!

So far, with the two Kingdom Generals each harboring their own agendas, the remaining 10 legions of the aristocratic alliance split into two parts.

Earl held on to his two long-range legions and two close-combat legions in the rear while Sean led the other six legions to confront our four legions.
