Chapter 256: Regret to meet Gengu! The night before the war! (Fifth update)
In the Dusk City, in the Palace of Wisdom, Motia looked at the battle report in his hand and sighed regretfully.

"Lentini?" he murmured.

Before the Battle of Pass Plain, my brother secretly sent the plan to me.

I deduced it several times and felt that there were no mistakes.

According to this plan, we would first defeat the human race on the Pas Plain, then send two detachments to bypass the enemy and cut off their retreat, and then encircle and destroy the enemy from multiple sides.

With this battle, the Holy Alliance will be able to completely wipe out the human race!
However, no matter how much they planned, they never expected that such a small territory of Lentini could defeat more than 10,000 wolf riders of Leton!
"Alas, just a little bit," Motia sighed again, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, "Come here."

"Your Highness."

"Send this to my brother."

Wei Na City, the once prosperous main city is now in ruins and dead silent.

The city was littered with dead bodies, and the air was filled with the stench of blood that had long been uncivilized.

Because it had been there for too long, the corpse began to rot, attracting a large group of vultures.

Gah!
A carrion vulture that was eating screamed at Raven, protesting against the uninvited guest.

A green light flashed, and the head of the rotten vulture was separated from its body. Only then did a dull whistle sound in the air.

Ruiwen put away Shen Yue and continued to move forward with a frosty face.

A large group of vultures appeared in front, fighting over a pile of corpses.

Judging from the number of corpses, that should be the center of the battlefield.

Ruiwen said nothing, swung Shen Yue and slashed, with an indescribable anger in his heart.

That's self-blame.

A huge amount of smelly blood rain splashed up, and the heads of the vultures fell to the ground one after another.

The panic flew away from a distance, but still hovered in the sky and refused to disperse.

They have an inexplicable greed for the corpses of the strong.

Finally clearing a space, Raven came to the corpse.

Most of these corpses were human warriors. Their causes of death varied, but they all seemed to be guarding a corpse in the middle.

It was a corpse that was already in a grotesque shape.

His clothes and armor were torn into pieces, and there was not a single intact part of his body.

The blood had already been drained out, but the body did not rot; instead, it dried up.

"Count Lyon, is this General Gengu?" Raven asked in a heavy tone.

Leon slowly took off his helmet, bent down deeply, and trembled for a long time before saying:
"It is indeed the General."

Raven swayed.

He had heard of this kind of death, it was the appearance of being possessed by a nightmare at dawn.

Just by looking at the degree to which his body was twisted, one can imagine the pain he went through before his death.

Dawn Nightmare, that is a terrifying ability that can make the soul boil and drain away.

Raven clenched her fists and closed her eyes in pain.

"General, I wish I had obeyed your call." He suddenly felt extremely regretful.

"Raven, you don't have to blame yourself. The situation at that time would not have changed even if you came."

"In fact, the general didn't inform you because he didn't want you to get involved."

Raven seemed not to hear it, and just kept murmuring: "If only I had listened to you at the beginning..."

Monroe said in a deep voice:
"Raven, wake up!
You know, if it weren’t for Lentini, we wouldn’t be able to defeat so many alien races!”

Raven looked around at the corpses scattered all over the ground and smiled miserably: "No matter what you say, I was still wrong."

An Qi comforted softly: “Brother Ruiwen, you are not wrong, and the general is not wrong either.

It's just that now is the end, don't blame yourself anymore."

"Yes, the general did not forget to inform you to escape at the last moment, which shows that he does not want you to take any risks."

Count Lyon said bitterly:

"He treated you like that because he was deceived by a certain lord.

On the other hand, it is also because too much is expected of you.

The general hopes that a true genius like you can also devote all your efforts to Lennon County like he did.
Although... that's a little unrealistic."

"I let him down."

"Not necessarily. The general is a model of a soldier, loyal, resolute, and selfless, but sometimes he is too stubborn and idealistic because of this. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Raven didn't answer. He slowly walked to Gengu, bent down and picked him up horizontally.

The general's body was very light, as if it had been hollowed out, and it was difficult to maintain even the basic shape.

Raven couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any more, and roared towards the sky.

Ah!
A blazing fireball shot out from his hand and hit the flock of vultures circling above.

boom!
A huge wave of fire exploded in the sky, and charred corpses fell to the ground like rain.

After venting, Raven said dejectedly: "Let our warriors rest in peace."

Bright flames ignited, and the entire city of Weina was engulfed in flames and smoke.

This great city, which had been at the forefront of Lennon's territory, was completely reduced to ruins.

Outside the shallow snow city.

Dozens of huge catapults were set up, and the Shield Mountain giants pressed huge stones into them.

Buckets of tree oil were poured over the stones and then set alight.

Next to the catapults, dozens of extremely gorgeous crossbow carts were lined up in a row, with the Titan Moon Spirits adjusting the angles.

This type of crossbow cart is a siege crossbow made by the Moon Spirit tribes. It is extremely powerful and its range far exceeds that of human crossbow cannons.

Behind the crossbow carts stood solemnly the murderous Alliance warriors, so densely packed that the end of the crowd was visible.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." said Paladin, the leader of the Violent Rock Clan.

"Begin the siege!"

Roar!
Paladin raised his battle axe, pointed at Qianxue City and roared.

As his voice fell, the bear warriors in the front row began to move forward, followed closely by the main combat tribes such as the Wilderness Tribe and the Shadow Hunting Wolf Riders.

After them came the higher-level moon spirits such as Five Colors, Titans, and Dragon Blood, mixed with ancient survivors such as Star Guidance, Moonlight Centaurs, and the three great banshees.

The whole battle was massive and powerful.

A huge whistling sound was heard, and huge rocks emitting black smoke flew towards the top of the city above the heads of the Alliance soldiers.

Dozens of burning forces rose above Qianxue City and shot straight towards the boulders, smashing them into countless pieces in mid-air.

Occasionally, some huge rocks would be missed and would be smashed into pieces in mid-air by the strong men just as they were about to approach the city wall.

However, the strong men could not take care of the fast and powerful Moon Spirit crossbow arrows, and in an instant, waves of blood burst out from the top of the city.

Whenever a city wall was hit by the Yueling crossbow arrows, the battlements and the soldiers behind them would be blown to pieces.

Archduke Lennon sat in a wheelchair, looking coldly at the approaching enemy, his face expressionless.

In the previous battle, he was ambushed by a giant dragon that descended from the sky and was seriously injured. It was several strong men who fought desperately to rescue him.

However, he no longer had the strength to fight in a short period of time.

A huge crossbow shot straight towards him, growing bigger and bigger in his eyes, and the tip of the crossbow was already creating a gust of air.

Archduke Lennon remained unmoved.

A slender hand stretched out, and the back of the white hand was covered with criss-crossing scars.

The hand seemed slow but was actually fast, and it grabbed the thick crossbow arrow.

Just enough to hold.

There seemed to be a muffled explosion in the air.

With a flick of his hand, the crossbow arrow was thrown to the ground.

"Father, they are coming." Celine sneered.

"Pass the order down. Do not use any of the incendiary crossbows and Titan's Fury. Keep them for dealing with the two giant dragons."

Xilin sneered: "I never thought that the noble Light Spirit Dragon would be enslaved by the wise people."

"Alas, the power of the Holy Beast Prophet Whitehead is unfathomable. With him around, it will be difficult for us to win this battle." Lennon sighed.

"In any case, Qianxue City is the second largest city after Balarenka. We are not powerless to fight."

"When the battle begins, you must be careful of his ancient beast. It poses a greater threat than the Light Spirit Dragon."

"I'm just going to take care of it, but I may not be able to take care of you."

The Duke laughed contemptuously: "Even if I sit here, what can they do to me?"
