Dusk.
The blood-like setting sun spread over most of the plain, the hot breath slowly rose on the battlefield, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
On the battlefield.
Countless corpses were piled together irregularly. A strong wind passed by, and many of the charred bodies instantly turned into powder and dispersed into the void with the afterglow.
In front of the Daxia Empire's position.
The bustling night watchmen were cleaning the battlefield, and the medical team looked tired and dull in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, looking for the wounded who were still alive.
The previous trenches were filled with corpses.
A brand new battle formation had been erected long ago, and a large number of Night Watchmen were lined up one after another, re-establishing a solid defense line.
Three days and three nights in a row.
The coalition forces from the three major forces gathered together and launched dozens of ferocious offensives against the Daxia Empire's positions.
The two sides tried their best on this plain and launched an unprecedented head-on confrontation.
Just seventy-two hours.
It is estimated that at least 50,000 Night Watchmen will remain on this desolate plain forever.
Among them, there are not only people from the Daxia Empire.
The Principality of Aisha, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and the Ocean Federation also paid a heavy price for this.
Standing in the trench, his face was covered with mottled dust and blood.
Xue Yun stood facing the wind, looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him, he couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Old Xue..."
The bandage on his right arm was tightly wrapped around his shoulder. Hu Kui strolled to Xue Yun's side, his face also showing deep fatigue.
"Has the treatment of the wounded been properly arranged?" Xue Yun asked.
"The arrangement was made, but it was a bit reluctant. The casualties were too great."
He lit a cigarette by himself.
Hu Kui gulped for a while and said helplessly: "In addition, our position is deep in the wilderness, and the nearest fortress city is about a week away. The wounded have no time to move and can only be temporarily placed at the rear of the military formation. , many brothers ended up dying on stretchers because they did not receive timely treatment."
Hear the words.
Xue Yun remained silent, knowing very well in his heart that the actual situation was probably much more serious than what Hu Kui said.
In order to attract the attention of the three major forces.
The alliance of princes in Daxia specially chose this desolate desert as the battlefield for the decisive battle.
Although the fortress city can be protected from the baptism of war, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, the corresponding resources and supplies cannot keep up.
War is all about logistics!
A legion of hundreds of thousands of people is indispensable for eating, drinking, and eating, especially the aftermath of every killing.
Thousands of injured people need treatment, and relevant medical staff and supporting facilities are indispensable.
If we rely on the fortress city, these problems can be solved immediately.
But now.
However, the main force of the Daxia Empire chose to cut off its own retreat and used itself as bait to attract the enemy troops to an uninhabited area far away from ordinary people.
There is no support from a large population base.
Everything needs to be solved by the combat troops themselves, and the princes and city lords even have to mobilize their personal guards to serve as civilian husbands behind the battlefield.
"No way, we have anticipated these problems from the beginning, haven't we?"
The tone seemed very calm.
After many hardships, Xue Yun is no longer the young man he was when he was just starting out.
"Foreign enemies invade. As national night watchmen, protecting the people of Daxia is what we should do."
He reached out and snatched the cigarette from Hu Kui's mouth, and took a long puff with his backhand.
Xue Yun looked deeply and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, many people will undoubtedly die, but at least the people of Daxia are still alive. As long as they are not in trouble, the Daxia Empire will not die."
Only with people can there be a country.
The rise and fall of the world does not depend on the exhaustive efforts of those in power, but the result of the joint efforts of countless ordinary people.
This time.
The legions of the alliance of princes are not fighting for power, but for the common people of Daxia.
Even if he dies, he will never step back even an inch.
"Your grandpa, you know clearly that supplies are in short supply, but you still come to rob me..."
He raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to grab half of the cigarette again.
Hu Kui scolded angrily: "I don't have much inventory to begin with. This is the last half pack of cigarettes. If you want to smoke, you kid can find a way to get it yourself!"
"Good guy, you are too stingy, you don't look like the lord of a city..."
He grinned and glanced at the guy's injured arm.
Xue Yun changed the topic and asked: "How is your injury? It's not a big problem, right?"
"no big deal."
I stretched my stiff shoulders.
Hu Kui held a cigarette in his mouth, shook his head and said: "When I led the charge with my brothers just now, I was attacked by those girls in sailor uniforms sent by the Empire where the sun never sets, and I accidentally got stabbed."
"Fortunately, no muscles or bones were injured. After bandaging, I should be able to continue fighting..."
He curled his lips.
Hu Kui narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Then again, these stupid beasts even use 'artificial freaks', so we are at a bit of a disadvantage in this regard."
Continuous battles.
With the addition of the Principality of Aisha, the enemy's offensive has become more and more fierce.
The "Sun Never Sets Empire" was even more frenzied and directly sent out a large number of artificial monsters.
Hundreds of double-sword girls wearing JK sailor uniforms entered the battle formation, which once put the Daxia Legion into a bitter battle.
"Don't worry."
Xue Yun looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, we also have a trump card here, and we haven't had time to use it yet."
"Could it be that you are talking about..." Hu Kui said in surprise.
He put his hand to his lips.
Xue Yun made a silent gesture and said coldly: "It's not the time yet."
A wave of his sleeves.
Xue Yun turned around and murmured: "No matter what, take the time to rest for a while."
"Once night falls, those beasts will definitely organize another charge under the cover of darkness."
He looked up at the hazy sky.
Xue Yun clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "It's almost time to get ready. The casualties of these guys are also heavy. Believe me, they won't be able to bear it for long."
He turned and looked at Hu Kui.
As the two looked at each other, they felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.
"Lao Hu, the decisive battle is coming soon..."
Stepping towards the depths of the battle formation.
Xue Yun didn't look back and lamented softly: "When the time comes, you must cheer up and don't die in front of me."
He was slightly startled.
Hu Kui drooped his eyelids by the trench and took a long drag on his cigarette, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
At this moment, he understood.
Xue Yun has long been determined to die and wants to fight to the death with the three major foreign forces.
...
On the other side of the plain, in front of the military formations of the three major forces.
Thousands of guards gathered together, looking from a high altitude like a huge circular square array, surrounding the open space in front of the general array.
The center area of the square array.
The commanders of the three armies representing the "Principality of Aisha", "Ocean Federation" and "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" are gathering together.
The round table between the three people was already filled with exquisite wine and utensils.
However, the atmosphere is surprisingly depressing.
"Both of you."
Rhine, who represented the "Ocean Federation", crossed his legs and took the lead in breaking the silence.
"To put it straight to the point, as the first person to rush to this battlefield, I am very disappointed with the performance of the two of them!"
Narrow your eyes.
Rhine suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "In the past three days, the legion under my command has suffered heavy losses. So far, the casualties have reached tens of thousands."
"But what happened..."
Take a deep breath.
Rhine reached out and tapped the table, shook his head and said: "Looking at the entire battle situation, our three-party coalition has not even been able to advance one kilometer away!"
"This is simply a waste of everyone's time!"
