Chapter 163: Call off the battle (Please subscribe, please vote)

Lin Yi carefully counted the number of people who spoke and found that the casualties of the contractors were not as serious as he worried.

In the early stages of the war magic, except for a few unfortunate contractors who were directly hit by fireballs, most people showed excellent survivability after surviving the fierce and dangerous first round of attacks.

They sought and hid in various shelters, some hid behind boulders, some hid among the ruins, and some jumped into trenches to avoid the ensuing rain of fire.

These shelters provided them with protection to a certain extent, effectively reducing the direct impact and damage caused by war magic.

At this moment, the sound of retreating troops came from the depths of the canyon.

The sonorous and powerful sound echoed over the battlefield, penetrating the intertwined fire and smoke, and was conveyed clearly and loudly to every soldier.

Tuk Bourne knew the destructive power of war magic.

He understood that under such a powerful magical attack, even if some soldiers managed to survive the rain of fire, their overall combat effectiveness would have been seriously affected.

The soldiers were now exhausted, their morale had reached an unprecedented low, and many were seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment and recuperation.

Faced with this reality, Tuk Bourne made a decisive decision to retreat.

He knew that continuing the attack under such circumstances would not only fail to achieve the desired results, but might also put the soldiers' lives in greater danger.

For Tuk Burne and his army, retreat was not a symbol of failure, but a strategic choice to enable them to fight back more powerfully in future battles.

As the retreat horn sounded, the soldiers, under the orderly command of the commander, evacuated the battlefield in an orderly manner like a tide.

As the flames and smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, a devastated scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

The land ravaged by war magic was charred and destroyed everywhere, as if telling of the cruelty of the battle.

As a strategic-level means, war magic is extremely costly to use and consumes huge resources.

Tuk Bourne judged that the other party would never be able to cast such magic again in a short period of time.

This period of power vacancy is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime offensive opportunity for Tuk Bourne.

Under the close protection of the heavy shield soldiers, Lin Yi and other soldiers returned safely to the army formation.

Before launching the attack, Lin Yi was just an unknown third-class private in the army, and his existence did not attract special attention.

However, his performance on the battlefield made Lin Yi the focus of the army in a short period of time.

Many officers came forward and expressed their heartfelt gratitude and respect to Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi had not come to their aid at the critical moment, not only would the soldiers under their command suffer greater losses, but they themselves might not have been able to return to the barracks safely.

"Captain Lin Yi, Corps Commander Tuk Bourne is calling for you." The messenger's voice sounded outside the tent.

Lin Yi responded, turned around and clasped his fists to the officers around him, saying, "Everyone, I'm going to go to the corps commander first. Now that this is over, I'll treat you all to a drink later."

"Okay, okay, Captain Lin Yi, you go first. The matter with the corps commander is more important." The officers around responded one after another with smiles of deep respect on their faces.

Led by the messenger, Lin Yi came to the tent where Tuk Bourne was.

The soldier guarding the door glanced at Lin Yi but did not stop him. It was obvious that Tuk Bourne had already given the order.

Lin Yi opened the curtain of the tent and walked in. As soon as he entered the tent, his eyes were attracted by a huge sand table. The sand table clearly showed the terrain of the entire Middle East Grand Canyon, with mountains, rivers, and canyons.

There are also various chess pieces placed on the sand table, which are obviously used to represent different legions and forces.

"Doctor, long time no see." Crazy Grandma greeted Lin Yi.

As a core member of the God-Emperor Adventure Group, he is also qualified to follow the God-Emperor into the core layer of the camp.

However, before they could reminisce further, a chief of staff interrupted them hastily: "Ladies and gentlemen, we can talk about the past later."

At this time, Tuk Bourne finally raised his head and his eyes fell on Lin Yi.

The legion commander's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation: "Good, well done."

Tuk Bourne was obviously very satisfied with Lin Yi's performance on the battlefield.

This time, he only sent out the vanguard corps and successfully forced the Holy Dragon Legion to use their trump card.

This move also made the balance of victory begin to tilt towards them.

Although Tuk Bourne was full of confidence in the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, he was also well aware that arrogant soldiers would be defeated.

Therefore, he did not relax his vigilance, but instead prepared for the next battle more carefully.

In order to gather ideas, he specially summoned officers who had performed well on the battlefield, hoping to draw more advice and strategies from their experience and wisdom.

One person has limited skills, two people have greater skills.

He hopes to find the best battle plan through collective wisdom and minimize casualties among soldiers.

"I suggest that we reorganize the army right now, and while the enemy hasn't reacted yet, we should immediately send our troops forward and defeat them with all our strength." A chief of staff came up to Tuk Bourne and began to introduce his ideas on the sand table.

This suggestion immediately resonated with the surrounding staff, and many people expressed their agreement.

They analyzed that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was in a period of great chaos at the moment. The magic attack in the last war not only caused severe damage to the Lion Legion, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Dragon Kingdom's own army.

More importantly, the war magic released by Kro Filin was mainly aimed at the soldiers attacking the foot of the fortress, and most of the magic attacks were actually blocked by the fortress of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

This also caused extensive damage to the fortress of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

The General Staff believed that this was an excellent opportunity to attack, and that this attack would definitely be easier than the last one.

Tuk Bourne listened to everyone's discussion and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that the suggestion was indeed feasible, but it also needed to be considered carefully.

After all, war is no joke, and one wrong step could lead to a complete loss.

"It sounds simple, but the actual situation is far more complicated than you think. It's not just the Holy Dragon Kingdom that needs to be prepared this time. Our soldiers also need time to regroup and recover after experiencing such a brutal battle." A general who had just returned from the battlefield said in a deep voice.

He interrupted the chief of staff's proposal and continued, "You have not personally experienced the battle in the Middle East Grand Canyon, so you can't imagine how tragic it was. It was like a meat grinder, and countless soldiers lost their lives there. Moreover, the war magic also dealt a huge blow to our morale. If we launch an attack at this time, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, which is almost the same as sending them to their deaths."
