Chapter 162 The Done Done
As the demon army in the elven capital was completely wiped out.
Da Yan and the elves launched a full-scale counterattack.
Attack the demon army that breaks out from the outer siege from both inside and outside.
Ireides cursed the remaining troops for being so weak and ordered them to continue to intensify the attack.
The commander in charge of the front-line attack spoke.
"Commander, our soldiers are extremely exhausted and can no longer launch an attack. They need to rest and regroup before launching a new round of attacks!"
"Are you teaching me how to do things? Xilian, be aware of your identity!"
Cillian didn't dare to talk back and lowered his head silently, because Iredes was the brother-in-law of the Demon King Latiface.
The relationship is not just tough.
And Xilian was just a grassroots boy, a civilian general who was gradually promoted by fighting against the Holy Empire's westward expedition.
Both the Demon Emperor Latiface and the nobles were indifferent to him.
Military generals like Xilian also excluded him everywhere.
This time the Empire conquered the Elf Empire after experiencing the defeat of the Forest Elf Kingdom.
This general had to be used.
Hillian is one of the few young generals who has experienced big scenes.
Having experienced five Western Expeditions of the Holy Empire, Xilian was only 43 years old.
He is the most experienced general among the young group.
It is also the wealth left to the Demon Empire by the previous Marshal of the Demon Empire.
However, Latiface valued the nobles, and the nobles suppressed the power of the common people.
The civilian forces in the entire Demon Empire palace have been almost cleared out.
If it weren't for Latiface saving the last group of civilian forces.
Then the entire court will become the world of the nobles.
Although the nobles have now become the sole authority, the civilians still control part of the armed forces.
But the whole empire's atmosphere has changed.
The common people were exploited and oppressed by the nobles.
As a result, the situation of civilians throughout the empire was in a precarious state.
But fortunately, Latiface was an able emperor.
He almost single-handedly pulled the entire empire forward.
Simply tie all problems to the chariot and use hostile forces to ease internal conflicts.
This is something only an expert can do.
It can't be done without some strength.
Thoughts return to the present.
Cillian was blasted out, and then returned to the tent with a heavy heart.
The generals at the front were looking at him.
Cillian sighed and spoke.
"The commander did not agree to our request. He asked us to continue the attack..."
Upon hearing this, the generals were furious.
Because the soldiers under his command could no longer fight.
A large number of soldiers died in the battle, and in many battalions more than half of the soldiers were sacrificed.
As a result, the morale of the entire army is now low.
But Hillian's next words made these generals unable to sit still any longer.
"The commander ordered us to attack immediately..."
"This is impossible! The soldiers have no fighting capacity at all. If we continue to fight, there will only be one outcome!"
The generals tried to persuade Cillian.
But looking at Hillary, he also looked helpless.
Everyone realized that this result was not something they could change...
Cillian put on his helmet and personally inspected the soldiers on the front line.
At this moment, the soldiers in the trenches no longer had the high spirits they had at the beginning.
From the moment they stepped into the elven capital, their bodies and minds were worn down.
Now the light has gone out of the soldiers' eyes.
They sat numbly in the trenches, just staring blankly ahead.
Some soldiers broke down and cried.
Because they survived Da Yan's terrible attack during the day.
Therefore, they certainly knew that there was no way they could break through this line of defense.
That means they will never be able to return home alive.
They were worried and scared.
But worrying and being afraid are useless, because no matter how much you worry and be afraid, you can't change the facts before your eyes.
There were comrades with lifeless eyes beside him and wounded soldiers everywhere in the trenches.
They were reminded all the time that they were trapped in this place.
We are all here, there is no way back.
The only possibility is to break through this unbreakable line of defense...
But today they are tired and can no longer launch an offensive...
And at this moment, they saw the general they were familiar with coming to comfort them.
Many soldiers forced themselves to stand up, and Cillian asked them to sit down one by one.
Many soldiers were flattered.
But Hillian became more and more silent. Along the way, he did not see any fighting spirit on the faces of the soldiers.
Their faces were filled with disappointment and disgust towards the war.
There were countless wounded soldiers lying in the trenches, some of them were still alive, while some had fallen asleep forever.
Xilian knew that the army before him was on the brink of collapse.
They couldn't fight any longer, they no longer had the will to continue fighting.
Maybe surrender is the best outcome...
After a round of inspection, Xilian returned to the command center and called all the generals together.
"There is no point in fighting any further... The soldiers are no longer able to launch an attack... Even resting won't allow them to recover..."
Cillian said affirmatively.
The other generals also agreed with Hillian's statement.
Because that’s indeed the reality.
The heroic fighting of the demon soldiers in the early stage has demonstrated their combat effectiveness to all the generals.
But as the war progressed.
The generals also knew that the demon army was already at the end of its strength.
But everyone felt heavy.
Because Ireides asked the soldiers to attack.
This is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
After a long pause, Xilian spoke.
"I'll go to the headquarters again and I'll definitely bring back an answer, whether good or bad..."
Soon, Xilian came back with a slap mark on his face.
The generals also bowed their heads silently.
Already know the result...
"Order the soldiers to rest for 15 minutes and then prepare to launch an attack..."
Cillian said calmly.
The generals' faces were filled with disbelief.
Because it was too terrible, the soldiers launched an attack after only a 15-minute rest.
Just don't treat them as human beings!
But the next second, Cillian said again.
"Delaying the time as much as possible and allowing the soldiers to rest for a while is the only thing we can do."
All the generals agreed to this plan and immediately ordered the buglers not to blow the attack horns without their own orders.
As time passed, Iredes finally discovered the clue.
Why haven't the front-line troops launched an attack yet?
Iredes rushed into Cillian's tent in anger.
The answer came out soon.
Then Ireides made a surprising decision.
He asked Cillian to charge with the soldiers!
The entire front line was in chaos...
