Chapter 372: Heavy Loss

General Homer was awakened by a series of thunderclaps.

When he woke up, he still felt dazed, wondering why thunder suddenly struck when the weather was fine? And when it thunders, why does the earth vibrate?

It wasn't until a soldier hurried into the tent to report that he realized it was an enemy attack!

"Where's Jerry?!" He was a little angry, what happened to Jerry, who was in charge of night patrol? Why wait until the enemy attacked here before the soldiers came to report?

"General Jerry is outside commanding the army to fight!" The soldier replied loudly.

General Homer was fully dressed immediately, and quickly rushed out of the tent with his sword on his back.

As soon as he walked out, he was stunned by the scenery in front of him! The entire camp of the Principality of Wales army was in flames, and tens of thousands of soldiers were in chaos.

Strange black iron balls kept falling from the sky, and exploded continuously after landing. The power was equivalent to the fifth or sixth order of fire magic, and it was accompanied by a loud noise like thunder!

What the hell is this? The new magic of the elves? Homer took off the giant sword, held it horizontally in his hand, and waved it towards the sky, releasing waves of sword energy.

The sword energy couldn't hit the elf air force flying too high, but it was able to split a lot of falling bombs, causing them to explode directly in the air, reducing the casualties in the camp.

"General Homer!!" When Homer attacked the falling bombs with sword energy to protect the soldiers in the camp, David hurried over with his troops.

"Where's Jerry?" Homer asked loudly, his hands never resting.

"Jerry is directing the battle over there. I heard that he was accidentally injured by the opponent's strange magic. He is giving first aid at the moment!" David replied, "General, the elves are flying too high! With our attack distance, it is impossible to They are helpless! But their new magic can harm us, and it is estimated that at least five or six hundred people were injured or killed by this strange new magic! What should we do? We must take action!"

"Don't panic!" General Homer thought for a moment, "Immediately rectify the army and attack with the whole army! They want to scare us away like this, but there is no way! Since the elves have come to attack at night, the rebels in Sea Dragon City must be fast We've arrived! Before they join forces, let's go first, defeat the rebels in Sea Dragon City, and take back Sea Dragon City!"

"What about the tricky magic of the elves?" David asked anxiously.

"We don't have magicians, so we can't deal with these guys!" General Homer said loudly, "But no matter how powerful the magic is, there must be a time when it runs out. They are only more than 500 people, and they will cause us some trouble at most! Order the sword masters in the army And sharpshooter, before the opponent's magic lands, use sword energy and arrows to attack and detonate!"

"Yes!!" David immediately conveyed Homer's order and received the general's instruction. The army of the Principality of Hales immediately grasped the essentials and began to use sword energy and arrows to detonate the bomb before it hit the ground, avoiding large-scale casualties.

"General, they found a way to deal with the bomb so quickly, what should we do?" Someone in the elf air force asked anxiously after seeing this situation.

Roald replied indifferently: "Our surprise attack goal has been achieved, and everyone stops bombing."

"Do you want to return to the army immediately?" asked the elf next to him.

"No!" Roald shook his head, "We will hover over the enemy army to attract their attention, so that they can't deal with the ground attack with peace of mind!"

"The general is so smart!" The elf next to him laughed, "We are hovering in the sky, and the enemy must always pay attention to the top of his head to avoid being attacked again. But there are countless mines buried under the road ahead. You can’t see clearly in the middle, and you need to pay attention to the head, the effect is really..."

Just like what the elf said, General Homer was able to straighten out his troops immediately after being attacked at night without causing confusion, and quickly led them to march directly to Sea Dragon City. It has to be said that his ability is not bad! If it were any other general, facing such a surprise attack, he would have already withdrawn with his messy army.

Just lose for a while! It's just that the lack of intelligence made them unaware of the existence of mines and bombs. Just after escaping from the threat of bombs, General Homer led his troops into the minefield.

General Homer took the lead, galloping fast on his horse.

The war horse jumped over several mines fortunately, but finally stepped on it with one foot.

"Boom!!" The violent explosion directly blew off the forelegs of General Homer's horse, and he fell to the ground.

General Homer was very sensitive. He jumped off the moment the horse fell, and at the same time rolled on the ground and stood firm.

But something happened to this roll, and it happened to pass a mine.

"Boom!!" The astonishingly powerful explosion sent General Homer flying straight up.

If he hadn't suddenly felt the danger and propped up a divine power shield temporarily, he might have been blown to pieces by now!

But even with the shield of divine power, he didn't have a good time. The powerful force of the mines made him dizzy. However, the entire area here was buried densely with landmines, and the next moment he accidentally stepped on one.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." General Homer did not know how many landmines he stepped on, and the continuous explosions finally shattered his seventh-level divine power shield. And he himself was severely injured because of the backlash of his strength, a lot of blood overflowed from his mouth, and he was gasping for breath.

He survived, but the troops behind him were not so lucky. Not everyone has General Homer's strength and can survive the continuous explosions in the minefields.

There were explosions one after another, countless soldiers of the Principality of Wales flew into the sky, and then fell heavily, losing their lives.

Even David, who was quite strong, was unlucky enough to step on two landmines in a row, and was blown to death directly as a result!

"Retreat! Retreat!!" Seeing this tragic scene, General Homer showed a hint of panic in his heart. The enemy is using mysterious magic, why is there no fluctuation of magic power, so people can't detect it at all?

With all his might, he leaped straight from the minefield to safety, then rallied his troops loudly to stop their advance.

The troops had been in a mess for a long time, but they returned to normal here because of Homer's voice, and quickly turned around.

A soldier immediately sent his mount to Homer, and let the general ride it, while he ran directly.

General Homer didn't refuse. He immediately mounted his horse, summoned the troops and shouted, "Where's General David? Where's General Jerry?"

"Report! General David was killed by magic!" A soldier immediately came over to report, "General Jerry is seriously injured and is being taken care of at the back of the team.

"How many men have we lost?" General Homer asked loudly.

"Report! I can't count the exact figures, but I'm afraid the casualties have exceeded 2,000!" The soldier replied in a panic.

"Damn it!" General Homer finally regretted, remembering the advice of those old men before departure. Sure enough, he has suffered a lot by sending troops rashly without any intelligence. "Temporarily withdraw 20 kilometers one after another to keep the distance away from the enemy! Wait until we regroup and fight against them tomorrow!"

"yes!!"

The army immediately changed from thousands of troops to the rear, and the rear to the front, and quickly followed General Homer back.

Little did they know, on the way back, another minefield was waiting for them again!
