Chapter 2958 1617: The Approaching Endgame (Part 2)
Under the influence of numerous unfavorable factors, the increasingly despairing enemy’s three-path grand army quickly began to collapse in full, with many enemy legions retreating in a panic, swiftly falling back to their respective strongholds.
“We must not allow them to retreat back!”
In the Command Hall of Ice Stone City, Leo Ray looked at the magic sandbox in front of him and spoke to Elder Bing and the others: “Block their path and cut off their connection to their respective cities!”
“Not only that, but also divide them and conquer them individually, dispelling their idea of huddling together for warmth!”
Leo Ray clearly understood that once these fleeing enemy grand armies retreated, they would undoubtedly rely on their cities to regroup, making the next phase increasingly troublesome.
Therefore, since the enemy had already lost their fighting spirit, it was only natural to defeat them thoroughly on the spot.
“As you command, Your Majesty, three legions of ancient human cavalry have already begun launching rear attacks!”
Elder Bing placed a hand on his chest in a gesture of salute and immediately conveyed Leo Ray’s orders.
Under the orderly scheduling and command of Ice Stone City, with increasingly close cooperation among various legions, the three-path enemy army quickly found themselves in a dilemma on the battlefield. Not only was their retreat path completely blocked, but many legions were also thoroughly divided, running aimlessly like headless flies on the battlefield.
No matter which direction they attempted to flee, waiting for them was our army’s well-prepared formations.
In this way, along with Leo Ray personally overseeing the situation from Ice Stone City and continuously pouring dense magic cannon fire into those enemy formations still attempting to resist, the scales of victory in the war quickly tilted entirely in our favor.
After a whole night of fierce battle, when the brilliant dawn fully illuminated the smoke-covered land, the entire battlefield gradually grew silent.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, apart from a few that surrendered, all of those defiant legions have been annihilated!”
Qiana saluted with a hand on her chest, reporting respectfully to Leo Ray with a face full of excitement.
“Your Majesty, the Broken Wing Army at the Throne Corridor Headquarters and the subsequent reinforcements have also all been defeated, and countless enemy troops have been captured by us!”
Elder Bing came forward as well, equally excited: “Currently, the Dark Half-Elf Army and our reinforcements have completely surrounded that Sky Island!”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
Originally, he thought that the Sky Island where the Throne Corridor Headquarters was located would lift off and flee, but it made no moves; it seemed Aaron and others had conveniently paralyzed the entire Sky Island, preventing it from ascending again.
“Lila and Hollis have also just sent word that the enemy army in the direction of the Royal Capital has successively been defeated, and we’ve also captured a large number of their surrendering soldiers!”
Moli flashed to Leo Ray’s side and chuckled.
Hearing the reports from the three of them, the entire Command Hall was filled with joy and excitement, everyone looking at each other with a trace of joy and excitement in their eyes.
For everyone, it had been an extremely long night, but under His Majesty’s guidance, all thorns and shadows gradually dissipated.
The annihilation of the three-path enemy army undoubtedly meant that the enemy’s Tier 5 Main Forces Corps no longer existed, indicating that we stood completely on the victorious side of the scales of this war!
“Everyone, you have all worked hard, but now is not the time to relax.”
Leo Ray’s steady voice rang out as he spoke to everyone: “Do not give the remnants of the enemy a chance to breathe; we must pursue our victory.”
Subsequently, under Leo Ray’s further command, our various legions, after a brief rest, quickly regrouped and surrounded the Broken Wing Kingdom.
As the enemy’s stronghold, it must first be conquered to thoroughly frighten those remnants still intending to fight to the end.
The siege battle proceeded very smoothly; due to the enemy’s Tier 5 Army’s main forces almost being completely wiped out, the remaining defending Tier 4 Army did not hold out for long before being utterly defeated.
Although the Absolute Defense Barrier of the opponent’s city was extremely strong, even stronger than the current Ice Stone City, it could not withstand the fierce siege from our dozens of Tier 5 Armies and ultimately collapsed on the spot.
Subsequent events became very simple. Without the obstruction of defensive barriers, those already collapsing enemy guards were naturally not a match for our soldiers.
As magic bridges were set up on the opponent’s battlements, our soldiers swarmed up the city wall. The tightly closed city gate was soon opened, and the drawbridge was quickly lowered, allowing our poised soldiers at the city gate to pour in.
Under Leo Ray’s personal command, our grand army advanced long and unimpeded, during which Leo Ray further noted.
Compared to the downfall and decay of other second-tier powers’ capitals, this area was frankly grand to an exaggerated degree, with the streets everywhere exuding a luxurious and magnificent aura.
With the advance, the group soon pressed into the Inner City of this Giant City Center.
This area too was equipped with a rather strong Defensive Barrier, and just as Leo Ray thought it would require some effort, the Inner City Gate suddenly opened.
Only to see a group of Broken Wing Nobles trembling as they walked out, with faces full of reverence as they prostrated before Leo Ray, choosing to surrender without a fight.
Seeing the Emperor of the Human Race capable of erasing even the mighty Broken Wing Kingdom, how could they muster the courage to continue resisting?
This undeniably signified that, from this moment on, this most prosperous capital among the second-tier powers would change hands entirely, becoming part of Leo Ray’s vast territory.
Afterward, Leo Ray commanded the soldiers of the three ancient human legions to seize control of the entire Inner City, especially important areas like the Treasure Vault and Equipment Storage, all of which were seized into their possession.
As for those surrendering Broken Wing Nobles, Leo Ray conducted an investigation at the first opportunity, selecting those who could be employed. With the assistance of these people, other Broken Wing cities would pose no further concern.
Sure enough, under the negotiations of these Broken Wing Nobles, the surrounding Broken Wing cities, including the Throne Corridor Headquarters where the Sky Island was located, were occupied by us without a fight until the entire Broken Wing Kingdom fell under Leo Ray’s control.
During this process, Leo Ray also commanded other armies of the second-tier powers to divide and quickly attack regions of minions like the Giant Horned King and Tusk King, eliminating the final scourges. With the transmission capabilities of Ice Stone City, everything became very easy.
Not until three days later did the whole campaign come to an end.
“Reporting to Your Majesty of the Humans, thanks to the efforts of our soldiers, domains of Giant Horned King, Tusk King, and other minions have all submitted.”
In the Command Hall of Ice Stone City, Lila’s fair face was full of excitement as she reported to Leo Ray.
Beside Lila stood not only Hollis, Rosa, Glen, Lena, and other second-tier power leaders who had fully submitted to Leo Ray’s rule but also Prince Chasing Shadow, the Tunnel Foxman Clan Leader, the young Frost Fire Giant King, and various powerful figures and rulers of other second-tier powers.
After these few days of fighting shoulder to shoulder and spending much time together, everyone had become increasingly well-acquainted and had grown even more respectful of Leo Ray.
Not only because under Leo Ray’s leadership everyone finally rid themselves of that nightmare-like oppression and seizure, but also because Leo Ray had opened the granaries in the Broken Wing Kingdom at the first opportunity, greatly alleviating the famine and plight of various powers.
In addition, Leo Ray did not avoid the presence of everyone, allowing them free access to Ice Stone City, which greatly earned everyone’s trust.
After all, this was the Land of Divine Favor, a place regarded as forbidden and of utmost secrecy by those lofty first-class forces, a place they could never hope to tread.
Of course, Leo Ray did this partly because he needed Ice Stone City to quickly deploy forces, and on the other hand, knowing others could not seize control of Ice Stone City.
“This is all thanks to your efforts, I have already prepared a victory feast.”
Leo Ray smiled and nodded at everyone.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, your humility is admirable!”
The Tunnel Foxman Clan Leader stepped forward and spoke: “I have one more request, please do not refuse, Your Majesty of the Humans!”
