The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

Under the full-body heavy armor, the meridians on Allen's arms exploded exaggeratedly one by one.

The power that exploded with all his strength made him unable to help but roar.

Amidst the roar, the big sword that he finally drew back collided with Guo Zhen's battle ax in an instant.

There was a violent friction between the blade of the sword and the blade of the axe, accompanied by a sharp sound, which directly led to a string of sparks.

In the next second, there was only a muffled 'bang', and Allen's helmet was blown away, and at the same time, a four-centimeter-long opening was cut on the forehead by the swung battle axe.

The spilled blood slid down the corner of his forehead and flowed into Allen's eyes.

While making his eyes sting, it also quickly dyed his vision a layer of dark red.

The strong discomfort made him want to close his eyes.

However, at this moment, he obviously didn't dare to do that at all.

The blood-stained eyes not only dared not close, but stared even wider, staring at Guo Zhen who charged up again.

A fight between dragons and tigers continued at this moment.

Alan's tenacity made Guo Zhen secretly startled.

For ordinary fierce generals, the momentary distraction just now is enough to make them lose their lives.

He never thought that Allen could still hold on abruptly.

No time to think about it, the aggressive pursuit hit him frantically.

The wave of confrontation just now obviously caused Allen's state to go wrong.

Not only the bloody eye, Guo Zhen could clearly feel that the movements of Allen's hands became a little strange in the next two rounds of confrontation.

I'm afraid it was caused by the parry just now.

Allen forcibly drew back his two-handed sword in an uncoordinated posture just now. In this process, he probably put a lot of burden on his arms joints.

After that, he parried another blow with all his strength, and the opponent's joints were definitely injured.

But Guo Zhen will not show mercy because of this.

Not only will he not show mercy, but he will attack even more fiercely!

Before, Guo Zhen would not have dared to launch such an offensive.

Because Allen will fight back at any time.

But the situation is different now. Faced with his series of onslaughts, Allen, who had problems with his arms, could only grit his teeth and persist, even looking a little embarrassed to parry.

During this period, he also deliberately sold two flaws to the other party.

But Allen saw the flaw and couldn't attack it.

Obviously, although the opponent is still dying, the outcome of this battle is already clear!

Allen is definitely not a dead-headed person.

The previous battle with Guo Zhen was just to contain Guo Zhen, lest this guy with too much combat power continue to attack his heavy armored infantry.

Simply put, it is one of the means to win.

But now, he obviously couldn't hold back the guy in front of him.

Realizing this, Allen decisively chose to retreat.

Guo Zhen wanted to chase after him, but at this moment, there were too many soldiers from both sides on the wall.

While Allen was retreating, a group of Europa's heavily armored soldiers immediately stepped forward, and several tomahawks slashed towards him, forcing Guo Zhen to retreat.

However, during this period, the soldiers of Gaoling City's garrison troops were not idle, and raised their shields one after another to push forward.

Realizing that there was no hope of chasing him down, Guo Zhen took two steps back.

After a battle and shopping until now, he also needs to take a few breaths.

Probably Du Yuanzhi's previous operation had an effect and helped him share a lot of pressure.

The strength of the Europa army on the wall no longer increased significantly, which made the whole situation slightly stable.

However, at this moment, Du Yuanzhi, who was standing in the city gate area, commanding his troops to stalemate with Europa's soldiers, was not in an optimistic situation.

As a military strategist of Shenji, he is good at arranging troops.

However, although battle formations can improve the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, it would be a little too naive to reverse the situation just by changing a few battle formations in the face of an obvious disparity in troop strength.

The strength advantage of Europa's army is being gradually brought into play as the offensive progresses.

Although Du Yuanzhi had three cannons in his hand, he also had a mage troop.

But it is a pity that neither the cannon nor the mage has the ability to fire continuously.

Archers and goblin crossbowmen can do it.

But as we all know, arrows and crossbow bolts are consumables and are limited...

The large shield soldiers and sword shield soldiers at the forefront of the battle formation had already fought with the Europa Tomahawk soldiers who rushed up.

A life-and-death melee fight is taking place at the city gate.

The troops on the opposite side are too strong, but Du Yuanzhi's current strength is less than [-].

After several rounds of fighting, the troops in the front line already felt as if they were about to be forcibly overwhelmed by enemy soldiers.

All of a sudden, the situation has become extremely critical!

9 Chapter Forty

The tightly clenched fists looked livid at this moment, and bead-sized beads of sweat kept coming out of Du Yuanzhi's forehead.

There is no doubt that at this moment, he is under tremendous psychological pressure.

He still doesn't know what happened to the battle on the wall.

However, the battle at the city gate was obviously about to fail.

The moment the two waves of men and horses collided completely, the cannon could no longer fire.

The attack of the troops in the rear row was also limited to a certain extent.

If the fight continues like this, they will undoubtedly lose the battle at the city gate.

"retreat?"

This thought flashed through Du Yuanzhi's mind.

Once their side retreats, the stone steps leading to the top of the wall will be exposed within the action range of the Europa army.

In other words, Europa soldiers rushing into the city can go straight to the top of the wall through the stone steps.

At that time, Guo Zhen and the soldiers of the defending troops on the top of the wall may have to suffer from front and rear attacks.

But if they don't retreat, how long can they last in the current situation?

The brain was spinning at a high speed, and the eyes quickly swept across the mages of the mage army.

After casting multiple spells one after another, due to the massive consumption of mana, the faces of the mages had turned pale at this time.

The mage army is not easy to come by.

His Majesty the Emperor first selected candidates from the entire Myriad Worlds civilization, and then spent several years cultivating this army.

In this battle, if a group were directly cut off, the loss would be too heavy.

While thinking about it, Du Yuanzhi planned to let the mage troops withdraw from the front line first.

Anyway, if the fight continues, the mage troops whose mana is close to exhaustion will no longer be able to continue to provide combat power.

It is a wise decision to let them retreat in time to ensure the safety of this force.

However, just when Du Yuanzhi was about to give the order, something unexpected happened.

Accompanied by a loud elephant cry, a burst of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the central avenue of Gaoling City behind the defenders!

Du Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this voice, and he turned around quickly.

On the central avenue behind, huge figures were rushing towards them.

"Reinforcements, the reinforcements from Oasis City have arrived!!!"

Oasis City's special arms unit, the War Elephant Unit arrived in time!After a dash, he crashed directly into the battlefield in the city gate area.

A total of thirty war elephants, with almost tyrannical power, can be said to have brought huge changes to the battle situation at the city gate in an instant!

The rampant war elephants, while threatening the soldiers of Europa with death, also made them feel helpless.

The tyrannical force can easily take their lives and deal a heavy blow to the morale of Europa's army!

Owen's heart twitched violently after seeing this scene.

Obviously, he did not expect that this player from the Celestial Dynasty actually possessed a large war unit like a war elephant!

This kind of special arms is not easy to deal with.

Right now, the morale of his army has obviously plummeted all the way due to the appearance of a large number of war elephants.

Gritting his teeth, facing such an irreversible situation, Owen knew that he had no choice. When those two words were squeezed out between his teeth, Owen's entire face was completely distorted.

"retreat……"

The horn for the retreat of the Europa army quickly sounded.

At this moment, Allen, who was commanding the soldiers under his command to fight on the wall, instantly realized that something happened below.

Not wanting to fight, he decisively gave the order to retreat, and then grabbed the ladder and slid down directly, quickly breaking away from the wall of Gaoling City.

The soldiers of Europa's army fled in a panic.

With the power brought by the thirty war elephants, the city defenders chased and killed them for a symbolic round.

After seeing the opponent fleeing completely, he withdrew to Gaoling City.

Afterwards, the gates of Gaoling City were quickly closed.

After that breath was relieved, many exhausted soldiers collapsed to the ground on the spot.

After a battle has reached this point, they are almost at their limits.

He ordered the troops in the back row who were still in good physical condition to clean up the corpses near the city gate, and called the medical soldiers to treat the wounds of the wounded.

After arranging a series of things, Du Yuan bowed his hands to Sha Yi, the general of the war elephant army, with a grateful face.

"It's really thanks to General Sha Yi who arrived in time this time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Counselor Du is being polite."

While speaking, the middle-aged general named Sha Yi cupped his fists at Du Yuanzhi.

"If we really want to talk about this matter, it's because of Staff Du's foresight. If I hadn't received an urgent report from Staff Du, I wouldn't have rushed here with the elephant troops overnight."

Upon hearing this, Du Yuanzhi showed a trace of shame on his face.

"Du is really ashamed of these four words. No matter what, Du is here to thank General Sha Yi on behalf of the soldiers and people of Gaoling City."

This matter was simple to say, the moment he realized that Aowen was fighting a war of attrition with them, Du Yuanzhi knew that the opponent must still have a hole card in his hand and hadn't played yet.

Just in case, he naturally hoped that the reinforcements from Oasis City and Xiyuan City would arrive as soon as possible.

At that time, the troops in Gaoling City will be assembled, and even if the army facing the invasion battle has any powerful cards, they will be able to see their tricks.

With this in mind, Du Yuanzhi sent two messengers, riding fast horses, along the highway day and night to report to the reinforcements on the way.

The reinforcements from the two cities who received the report naturally did not dare to neglect.

That's why there was that scene just now.

Of course, the reinforcements from the two cities were naturally more than one war elephant troop.

It's just that the war elephant troops have excellent physical strength, and they arrived the fastest after a quick march.

The infantry unit of Oasis City arrived half a day later than the war elephant unit.

Afterwards, reinforcements from Xiyuan City arrived at Gaoling City in the evening of the next day.

The arrival of four thousand reinforcements gave Du Yuanzhi and Guo Zhen a lot of confidence.

However, after that, probably knowing that he had no chance, Owen did not continue to launch a new offensive.
