Chapter 1690: Chapter 969: The Scorching Battlefield and Breaking Through the Encirclement_2 Chapter 1690: Chapter 969: The Scorching Battlefield and Breaking Through the Encirclement_2 But while commanding the overall situation, Ariel Watson took turns with the main forces to boost morale on the front lines and incidentally took down these isolated Magic Towers.

“Lord, what exactly will Fourth Brother and the others do?”

Ariel Watson furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before asking, “Will they come directly at us?”

Ariel Watson clearly understood that only by figuring out the enemy’s next move could they prepare well in advance and avoid being caught off guard.

“They definitely will not. They will surely strike at our weakest forces,”

Leo Ray’s eyes slightly narrowed as he concentrated on the battlefield dynamics and responded decisively.

“Our weakest forces?”

Ariel Watson rested her chin on one hand and thought briefly, then suddenly realized, “Is their primary target our 10 legions still trapped in the encirclement?”

“Our soldiers there number less than fifty thousand, and all are utterly exhausted; the answer is naturally obvious.”

Leo Ray nodded affirmatively, “Only by annihilating the weary forces there can the enemy then turn their blades and wholeheartedly deal with the 12 legions rushing to aid from the Central City Area.”

“Lord, your words are very true. Although the current situation squeezples the opponent in the middle, our surrounded legions’ perilous situation remains unchanged.”

Ariel Watson nodded with a frown, a touch of worry welling up, “Does this mean the surrounded Shang Lu legions are still on the brink of destruction?”

As she finished speaking, the worry on Ariel Watson’s fair face intensified.

Thus, the situation was self-evident.

Once our strength there was completely wiped out, leading to the failure of the rescue, the morale of our other 12 legions would undoubtedly be severely undermined.

Conversely, the enemy’s morale would greatly increase. Under this consuming and nourishing effect, the battlefield initiative would undoubtedly fall back into the enemy’s hands.

At that point, should the enemy press their attack with full force, our side would find it very difficult to turn the tides.

In short, the besieged Shang Lu legions must be preserved; otherwise, our forces would be utterly defeated.

Thinking this, Ariel Watson, standing beside Leo Ray at the top of the high tower, felt the night wind blowing in her face grow even chillier, and she couldn’t help but shiver.

“Rest assured, with these besieged Shang Lu soldiers’ desperate resistance, buying us precious time, we were able to address the crisis of the Dimensional Storm and regain control of the battlefield initiative. In other words, they have protected us with their blood and lives.”

Looking at Ariel Watson’s extremely anxious expression, Leo Ray’s gaze became solemn. He nodded at her and said, “This time, it’s our turn to protect them. As their leader, I will not allow them to be annihilated by the enemy.”

“Lord, does this mean you have already made the necessary arrangements?”

Ariel Watson’s eyes lit up as she quickly followed up.

“Indeed. Although it’s not impregnable, it’s enough to prevent the enemy’s plot from succeeding easily.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath, his eyes growing more serious, “As for how the battle will develop next, it will be a matter of seeing and dismantling moves with Fourth Brother, since the true strength of the forces they’ve concealed remains unclear. This will be the biggest variable in this battlefield.”

“You truly are the Lord, always thinking ahead for your subordinates.”

Hearing Leo Ray’s firm and powerful words, despite the constant sounds of fierce battle cries and screams, Ariel Watson’s anxious mind gradually calmed down.

With her bright starry eyes moving, she looked down at the fortress city sinking in blood and fire.

Her gaze captured vivid scenes of nearly five hundred thousand enemy and allied soldiers engaged in fierce battle in every street below.

The outcome of this battle would depend entirely on the Lord beside her.

In other words, the Lord standing beside her undoubtedly possessed the power to dominate the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!

While Ariel Watson’s heart surged with emotions,

just as Leo Ray had predicted, the Fourth Prince and his followers had already appeared at the edge of the battlefield center, near the encircled legion of our side.

The once bustling and towering streets had almost been completely leveled by Magic Guided Cannon Fire and area attack spells, leaving only a pile of broken walls and rubble, still emitting thick, scorching smoke.

Amidst this battlefield littered with corpses and debris, our besieged soldiers were slowly advancing under the command of their respective leaders, relying on the enormous Magic Fortress, fiercely clashing with the enemy legion.

Eyes hidden behind battle helmets, although filled with exhaustion, sparkled with the glimmer of hope.

All the encircled soldiers of the Shang Lu understood clearly,

that Mr. Lane and her Highness, regardless of personal risk, had overcame all difficulties leading Central City Area forces to their aid, so they absolutely couldn’t fall here!

“These obstinate Shang Lu soldiers are the only reason I haven’t yet defeated that detestable scum from the despicable Otherworld,” sneered the Fourth Prince, hidden in the shadows, looking coldly at our blood-bath engaged soldiers, a chilling smile playing at his lips, “Just a bunch of defeated soldiers, let this prince put an end to your pathetic lives.”

As soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, he slowly turned his head and said with a sinister grin to the two wealthy homeowners beside him, “Mr. Stone, Lord Kent, have those all been arranged properly?”

“Your Highness, rest assured,”

Mr. Stone gently stroked his white-bearded chin, his face filled with fierce intent, nodded and said, “Even if a deity arrived, they couldn’t save these stubborn, defeated soldiers!”

“Exactly, the dead-end strategy created together by the Yorkman and Lancaster Clans makes eliminating these scums as easy as turning over one’s hand,” Lord Kent coldly added with a grim smile, “Moreover, with the involvement of such overpowering forces under your Highness, it’s absolutely unthinkable for your servant to find a reason for failure!”

While saying so, Kent scanned the surroundings.

In the pile of rubble around the three men, several still, wooden figures stood neatly, exuding overwhelming auras.

“Then without delay, let’s commence.”

The Fourth Prince lightly snapped his fingers, his face growing more manic and ferocious: “Eliminating these guys will secure our victory!”

With the bloodthirsty declaration of the Fourth Prince, a subtle change occurred immediately on the vast battlefield.

The enemy legion which had been exchanging blow for blow with our encircled troops seemingly unintentionally started collapsing, allowing our side to make some breakthroughs swiftly.

Seeing this, commanders and soldiers on our side, already exhausted, brightened up, realizing that if they could break through and then meet with other reinforcing legions from outside,

all challenging situations would undoubtedly be resolved!

“Seize the opponents’ flaws, attack with all your might!”

Almost at the same time, the encircled commanders of Shang Lu chose to abandon the Magic Fortress and seize the opportunity to break through, undoubtedly a golden chance to turn the tables!

“Brave men of the Sanders Family, the enemy is at the end of their strength, shatter their shields, trample over their bodies!”

“Soldiers, the moment to repay Mr. Lane and her Highness has arrived, victory will inevitably belong to us!”

Encouraged by the series of commands, the encircled soldiers’ morale soared, and they rushed towards the collapsing positions of the opponent, competing to be the first.

It didn’t take long for our besieged soldiers to push forward a great distance, tearing through all obstacles in their way.

But before our soldiers could rejoice, everyone was shocked to discover,

that at some point, they were left alone in the vast streets, the retreating enemy soldiers having vanished without a trace.

For a moment, the entire block was eerily silent, even though the cries of battle were still heard in the distance, soldiers couldn’t help but nervously glance at each other, feeling a bone-chilling cold.
