Chapter 668: Killing the enemy commander and An Qi's return
It wasn't long before the enemy came rushing to put out the fire and scout the enemy situation. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they immediately chased in the direction of our retreat, and their speed was so fast that it was amazing.
Kashin saw this scene and sneered in his heart. He knew very well that if the enemy really foolishly chased after him, he would definitely not return. Therefore, he was too lazy to pay attention to these guys who overestimated their own abilities.
However, the enemy was not so stupid. They quickly sent out an elite team to hunt down our people.
After all, even if the burning food and grass were put out, they could no longer be used because they had been splashed with grease and had long been ruined.
Although the amount of food destroyed was not large, it was undoubtedly a double blow to the food-deficient army. The soldiers began to panic and their morale was seriously affected.
And this is exactly what the lady wants to achieve - to shake the morale of the enemy.
After a while, the soldiers who went out to look for the enemy came back. They reported to the commander that the enemy had disappeared without a trace and there was no way to track them, so they had no choice but to give up.
The enemy's commander was a smart man, he made a prompt decision and decided to march overnight, because he knew that the enemy would definitely pursue him closely.
Judging from the current situation, the situation was very unfavorable to them. Therefore, he ordered the army to march out at night without hesitation, taking advantage of the night to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
After all, the terrain here is not suitable for cavalry to fight. They must find a more favorable place to fight the enemy...
At this time, Master Sendi, who was in charge of surveillance and rearguard action in the air, returned to the main force to report the situation - the enemy was about to escape, so the army had to make a decision quickly.
When Tan Aili heard that the enemy was about to run away, it seemed as if everything was expected, and she nodded: "With Lawsondi watching them, our army will also set out and just keep an eye on the enemy. Those people dare not chase us. They are looking for a suitable terrain for fighting when the moon is dim."
"Marshal, take care! I will continue to watch here. If necessary, I will not hesitate to use magic to disrupt the enemy's formation."
"Master, don't act rashly unless it's absolutely necessary! These people can't escape, we can slowly deal with them piecemeal. Magic can't kill many enemies, so it can only be used at the critical moment..." Tan Aili hurriedly persuaded.
She knew very well that this battle was not difficult for Master Sendi, but what she valued more was giving the entire army a rare opportunity to practice tactics.
After all, there are not many actual combat opportunities like this, and through this battle, the soldiers can better improve their military literacy and combat skills.
Moreover, it is almost impossible for the mountain division to defeat the heavy cavalry. But if the military strategy can be cleverly used to turn the tide of the war, it will become a good story in military history and be praised by future generations.
The army followed from a distance, advancing slowly under the cover of night. Kashin witnessed the enemy retreating and sneered, as if the heavy cavalry were not good at night combat and were actively retreating.
So, he calculated that there were more than thirty arrowheads, which were made with the help of the alchemy of the Magic Association of the Maya Principality and were of first-class precision.
Can the commander of the coalition forces be assassinated under the cover of night? Silver Wolf's night vision ability came in handy, and he had already locked onto the substance from a distance. While the enemy was on the march, Kashin made a detour to the commander's position.
The entire army is deployed in a three-mile long formation. Just now the commander came to understand the situation and was targeted by the Silver Wolf. So beheading the commander at this moment and making them leaderless will undoubtedly hit the enemy's morale.
So after a detour of about ten minutes, Kashin arrived at the front army position and used the Silver Wolf's vision to stare at the officer wearing a green cloak, who was over two meters tall and extremely strong.
Kashin released a telekinetic arrow from a distance, used his mental power to adjust the direction, flew through the woods, and then quickly rose into the air. The telekinetic arrow adjusted in the air and dived down, hitting the commander of the coalition forces in the back of his head...
Seeing that he had hit the target with one strike, Kashin withdrew his mental strength, and immediately made a few leaps up and down the tree, hiding in the canopy of another tree, entering a state of meditation and becoming one with nature.
At this time, the commander of the coalition forces had a hole in his steel helmet and his head was shattered by a telekinetic arrow. He didn't even have time to shout before he lost consciousness, his body straight as he maintained balance on his mount.
The man was actually dead, blood was flowing from his neck, staining the delicate steel armor red...
The guards beside him were completely unaware of this and continued to whistle. The commander-in-chief's mount rode for a while before its huge body fell...
“General…” The guards stopped the team and asked them to stay where they were.
Then the three soldiers jumped off their mounts to check on the commander. When they saw the blood on the armor, they knew something was wrong. They couldn't help but cry while hugging the commander's body. The most important thing was that they couldn't find the murder weapon and couldn't infer the cause of death.
"General, we've been hit by a spell. The enemy has battle mages, and there are only a few of them. They first attacked our food supplies and then killed our commander!"
"You are right. The most urgent task is to select a new commander to command the entire army. The weather is gloomy and it is not suitable to pursue the enemy. Everyone should mourn, turn grief into strength, and continue marching..."
Afterwards, the generals discussed on the side of the road and decided that the entire army should continue to move forward. They all regretted that they should not have stayed to rest. They should have speeded up their journey even though the entire army was tired. Now it was too late to regret.
Kashin was impressed when he saw that the enemy did not send anyone to hunt him down, but marched in an orderly manner.
"The enemy commander was stabbed, but the team remained in formation. To be fair, they are definitely elite troops. It is said that they are made up of more than ten countries. It seems that the commander who was killed just now is good at leading troops! Well done..."
At this moment, Kashin suddenly felt a sense in his heart and realized that the night owl Angel was flying towards him.
This spiritual connection let him know that An Qi came from the north. Obviously, An Qi must have gone through many twists and turns to find him, but fortunately, she finally succeeded in meeting him, and arrived very timely.
Kashin thought to himself that the reason why Anqi stayed in the capital was probably because he couldn't bear to part with the souls of the enemy generals. After all, for a being like Anqi, these souls were precious resources that could be used to refine the staff and extract dark energy suitable for it.
However, Kashin also understood that it was very lucky that An Qi could arrive in time this time. Because this war would definitely cause a large number of casualties, and there would be countless innocent souls on the battlefield, which would undoubtedly be a feast for An Qi.
The so-called dark priest of the church once possessed the magical staff, but he could not keep up with the souls accumulated by Kashen in the bloody battles these days, and in the large-scale battlefields, he definitely could not maintain the Soul-devouring Staff.
The virtual space inside it is constantly refining energy, which can ensure that Angel's dark magic continues to grow stronger. At least now Angel's magical attack ability is getting stronger and stronger. At this moment, it is equivalent to a divine bird holding a magic wand, far surpassing other pet birds. This is fate.
With so many wronged souls for it to slowly digest, Angel's subsequent training will be like a cheat, and her strength will be greatly enhanced.
