Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 1093: Reunion
Outside the mysterious camp, Marshal Luo was commanding tens of thousands of troops to resist the siege of more than 100,000 defenders.
"Damn it, if I had known these enemies were so strong, I should have followed Li Jiu and the others to the mysterious camp." On the rebel camp, Marshal Luo looked around the battlefield with a gloomy face, feeling deeply regretful.
The task of leading the resistance alliance army to contain these peripheral enemies was not assigned to him by Li Jiu, but he volunteered for it.
However, he originally thought that this would be a very easy task, but he did not expect that after the fight really started, he found that this task was not as easy as he imagined.
According to Marshal Luo's previous combat experience, with an army of 80,000 to 90,000 people, it is not impossible to just contain more than 100,000 enemies, even to destroy those enemies.
But the facts showed that he was really overthinking.
The fighting power of these defenders' troops now far exceeded his original estimate, and was actually significantly higher than that of the resistance organization's army!
Coupled with the numerical disadvantage, the resistance organization's army has been suppressed by the enemy since the battle began until now!
Among them, the 30,000 Dragon Soul Army brought by Li Jiu was slightly better. Their overall strength was not much different from those enemies. Therefore, although they suffered some damage during the battle, it was still within an acceptable range.
However, the combat effectiveness of the armies put together by many other resistance organizations was uneven, and coupled with the inconvenience of coordination and cooperation among them, they suffered heavy losses in the battle, and the rate at which the number of casualties soared was simply alarming.
So far, many smaller resistance groups have been wiped out on the spot, and the remaining people are demoralized and have lost their will to fight. If the Dragon Soul Army had resisted most of the pressure, they would have fled long ago .
Although Marshal Luo tried to make up for the gap in strength between the two armies through his command efforts, he helplessly discovered that this army, which was temporarily assembled from many resistance organizations, was difficult to deploy and it was difficult to enforce his orders.
"Alas, what a mob!" Seeing that many soldiers were killed not because of their lack of strength, but because they could not carry out his orders, and the gap between the two sides continued to widen, Marshal Luo clenched his fists and sighed with regret.
He was extremely anxious at the moment, like an ant on a hot pan.
If they continue like this, I'm afraid these troops will be wiped out before Li Jiu and his men return.
But if he ordered , then if Li Jiu succeeded, wouldn’t he be betraying his teammates?
Even though Marshal Luo and Li Jiu had some conflicts before, they were now on the same front after all. So he would never do such a heinous thing as betraying his teammates.
"Wait! Keep waiting!" Marshal Luo gritted his teeth and said, "However, I can only hold on until ! If Li Jiu and his team haven't come back by then, then you can't blame me for betraying my teammates... No! If that time really comes, it won't be me who betrays my teammates, but Li Jiu and his team who betray me!"
"Report to Marshal Luo! General Li Jiu and his men have broken through!"
At this moment, a Dragon Soul Warrior suddenly stepped forward and said to Marshal Luo.
"Ah? They broke through? Where are they? When? Why didn't I see them?"
Marshal Luo was suddenly startled and quickly stood up and looked around the battlefield.
"General Li Jiu and his men broke out from the east, so the Marshal naturally couldn't see them." The Dragon Soul Warrior replied.
"East? Why are you going to the east instead of coming here to meet us?" Marshal Luo asked after a moment of surprise.
"Marshal, the enemy's main force has been tied up in the west at the moment. General Li Jiu and his men will definitely not break out from here. Among the other three directions, the defense in the east is the weakest. The general and his men will naturally choose to break out from the east." The Dragon Soul Warrior frowned slightly and said.
"Oh, I see..." Marshal Luo suddenly realized, and then looked at the Dragon Soul Warrior and smiled awkwardly: "Yes! Yes! General Li Jiu and his men should indeed choose to break out from the east... Does General Li Jiu have any other instructions?"
"The general said, Marshal Luo, you can give the order to retreat. Let's go to the temporary assembly area in the east to meet up with the general and the others." said the Dragon Soul Warrior.
"Okay! Okay! I'll give the order right away!" Marshal Luo immediately nodded with a happy look on his face.
Immediately, Marshal Luo gave an order, and the remaining resistance army quickly shook off the enemy and rushed to the assembly point in the east at full speed.
…
Half an hour later , Li Jiu and others joined the large force led by Marshal Luo.
However, after the reunion, they did not stay at the preset assembly point, but traveled day and night, leaving the mountains and forests near the mysterious camp, and finally arrived at the mountainous area full of caves outside Shanhai City.
At this moment, after settling all the soldiers, Li Jiu and others were gathering in the largest cave, watching a huge black iron ball placed in the middle.
This iron ball is the base of the formation that Li Jiu and his team took out from the belly of the giant hammer beast.
"Captain, are you sure this thing is the so-called array base? Are you sure? No matter how I look at it, it looks like an iron ball..." Bakus looked around the iron ball in detail for several times, but couldn't figure out what it was. He frowned and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Little Leo, there are no mechanism buttons on this iron ball, and no sensing device can be found. It is exactly the same as an ordinary iron ball. Could you really have made a mistake?" Even Bella questioned after taking a look at it.
"Haha, I don't doubt General Li Jiu's judgment, but..." Marshal Luo on the side looked at it curiously for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "But, I want to ask, does General Li Jiu know how to use this thing? Otherwise, how can you determine that this is the formation base?"
"To be honest, I'm not 100% sure that this thing is the array base!"
Li Jiu also stared at the iron ball with curiosity, shook his head and said, "After all, before this, I didn't know what the formation base looked like."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they felt dizzy.
It turns out that Li Jiu couldn't be sure... But if that was the case, why did he ask everyone to bring the iron ball back?
"But what I am sure of is that the thing that looks most like a formation base in the mysterious camp is this iron ball!" Li Jiu continued, "As for how to use this thing, I am afraid only the people of the Defender Empire and the Blue Blood Empire know it."
