Chapter 666 The strange actions of the coalition forces
Lin Ze didn't know what the coalition's guardian spirits were thinking.
His attention was focused on the battlefield.
As time passed, he gradually realized something was wrong.
Due to the limited space in the canyon, neither the Hailin tribe nor the coalition forces devoted all their forces to the battle at the first time.
Instead, only part of the troops were sent.
The Hailin tribe only invested three legions at the beginning.
After stabilizing the position, two more legions were thrown in.
On the other hand, the coalition forces did not invest any more troops except for the 30,000 soldiers who charged at the beginning.
This was true even if the Hailin Tribe subsequently invested two more legions.
In this case, the situation of the coalition forces, which was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly became very dangerous and was on the verge of collapse.
Looking at this scene, the coalition forces remained indifferent.
"What are those guys planning?"
Lin Ze's eyes flashed with contemplation.
But soon, he no longer had to wonder.
At this time, the coalition forces finally made some movement.
Unexpectedly, the main army formation at the rear actually changed direction and retreated.
Looking at that, he actually planned to evacuate directly from the canyon!
at the same time.
The coalition soldiers who were fighting Hailin's army in the center of the canyon also began to retreat while fighting.
This unexpected turn of events shocked Lin Ze.
But soon, he came to his senses, and with a thought, the Messiah and the Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon standing beside him immediately rose into the sky, and flew towards the coalition's main formation like meteors.
As soon as they reached the halfway point, more than twenty guardian spirits from the coalition's main formation rushed up into the sky, flying towards Messiah and the Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting fiercely at high altitude!
Lin Ze looked at the slowly evacuating coalition forces in the distance, his eyes flickering for a few seconds. In the end, he did not order the legion to pursue them, nor did he send out any more pet beasts to pursue them.
About ten minutes later.
The coalition forces abandoned thousands of corpses and evacuated the canyon.
at the same time.
The more than twenty guardian spirits who stayed behind successfully escaped at the cost of the death of six of their companions.
It is worth mentioning that among the guardian spirits left behind, there is a peak king-level guardian spirit.
It was precisely because he blocked the Messiah that he managed to escape at the cost of only the death of six of his companions.
Otherwise, the casualties would have doubled at least several times.
Afterwards, Lin Ze asked Wowu and found out that the guardian spirit was Yunpeng, the leader of the Akashi tribe.
After cleaning up the battlefield and resting on the spot for three hours, leaving some manpower to treat and escort the wounded back, Lin Ze then continued to lead the army in pursuit along the direction of the coalition's withdrawal.
For reasons of safety and to avoid falling into traps, Hailin's army did not march hastily, but moved forward steadily.
Along the way, scouts were constantly dispatched to inquire about the situation ahead.
Fortunately, the coalition forces' withdrawal was not too fast.
Wait until evening.
Hailin's army caught up with the coalition forces in an open valley.
A new round of fierce fighting broke out immediately between the two sides.
This time, the coalition forces once again abandoned more than 3,000 corpses and hurriedly evacuated at the cost of the death of three guardian spirits.
Lin Ze still did not pursue, but looked at the direction in which the coalition forces were leaving, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Since it was already getting late, Hailin's army did not rush any further and directly camped on the spot to rest.
Waiting for the first light of the next day, after having breakfast, Hailin's army organized and set off.
More than four hours later.
The scouts who were investigating sent news that they had found traces of the coalition forces two kilometers ahead.
The latter is stationed within a tribe.
"Which tribe is in front of you?"
Lin Ze turned to look at Wo Wu.
The latter replied immediately without thinking:
"It's the Wind Wheel Tribe, Lord Controller!"
Lin Ze thought about it briefly and quickly remembered that the Wind Wheel Tribe was one of the seven tribes that formed the coalition.
It's just a graystone tribe.
"What are the coalition forces waiting for us there specifically for?"
Lin Ze's eyes flashed with confusion.
Confused by doubts, he had no intention of stopping and ordered the army to continue moving forward.
Not long after.
Hailin's army then arrived near the Wind Wheel Tribe.
As far as the eye can see, the fence outside the Wind Wheel Tribe has been demolished and replaced by a tall and thick wall.
There seems to be some kind of magical ability applied to it. The surface of the wall is covered with densely packed blood-colored thorns with spikes, shining with a strange luster in the sunlight.
On the wall, countless heavily armed soldiers stood guard.
"Are these guys from the coalition planning to launch a siege with us?"
Lin Ze's eyes flashed with surprise.
Wo Wu also looked puzzled.
Linghua warriors generally have seventh or eighth level strength.
In wars that often involve tens of thousands of people, the blocking and resisting effects of city walls are minimal.
Even a city wall blessed with power is like this.
At most, it can only cause some obstacles to the attacking side and extend the attack time.
But the price to pay for this is that after the city wall is destroyed, the tribe will become a battlefield in an instant!
By the time the war is over, the tribal settlements will most likely be nothing but ruins.
So.
Most of the battles between tribes will take place in the wild far away from the tribal settlements.
Unless one of the parties has a clear advantage and advances the battlefield to the tribal settlement, no tribe will choose the battlefield in its own tribal settlement.
The performance of the coalition forces at this time was that they clearly regarded the Wind Wheel Tribe's settlement as a battlefield!
How could the guardian spirits of the Wind Wheel Tribe agree to such a thing?
Don’t want your own territory?
Wo Wu was puzzled.
Lin Ze's eyes flashed and he made a decision immediately:
"Since they want to defend, we will fight!"
The command of the Controller is unique.
After a short rest, Hailin's army quickly launched an attack.
The captains of ten thousand, Qingqiang, dead wood and earth and stone from all major legions also fought in a melee with the guardian spirits on the allied side.
Lin Ze still only sent Messiah and Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon.
The war lasted until dark and did not stop.
Both sides suffered thousands of casualties, and most of the Fenglun tribe's city wall was destroyed.
However, when Hailin's army launched another attack the next day, they found that the city wall had been completely repaired.
Lin Ze didn't care and waved his hand.
"attack!"
This strange offensive and defensive battle lasted for three full days, and finally Hailin's army completely broke through the city wall and entered the Wind Wheel Tribe.
After a fierce battle, the coalition forces left thousands of troops behind and immediately withdrew without hesitation.
Lin Ze did not pursue, but ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.
Not long after, Wo Wu came to report.
"Sir, no ordinary tribesman can be found in the Fenglun tribe. Judging from the traces, the people in the tribe had evacuated many days ago, and all the supplies in the tribe were also taken away!"
"I see."
A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Ze's eyes.
What had been vague speculations for the past few days was finally confirmed at this moment.
The coalition forces are obviously determined to fight a protracted war with him!
Only then did he never confront Hailin's army head-on, but pursued them all the way, even at the expense of a small group of troops to ensure the evacuation of the army.
They also used the tribal settlements along the way to build city walls to delay their attack.
As for the purpose of the coalition forces sparing no effort to prolong the war, Lin Ze also had a guess.
