Chapter 2261: Withdrawal Battle (9)

A werewolf lord of an entire legion is roughly more than twice the size of a World-Breaking Army legion.

Now the World-Breaking Army happens to have exactly two legions.

The numbers are roughly comparable.

However, among the werewolf lords taking the field, there are no village-level lords; the weakest are town-level, and county-level are the most numerous.

Meanwhile, the World-Breaking Army's lords include quite a few village-level lords, and town-level are also plentiful.

This creates a very large gap in strength.

They really can't win.

Still, the strength gap probably isn't that extreme either.

Winning will be very hard.

If it's just about breaking out...

The captains couldn't help but look outward.

Guan Zhiyong and the others have already returned to the territory; activating the temporary formation in a moment can encompass them in, that's no problem.

The werewolves that pursued out have also all returned; once the battle begins they will join in as well.

Around them only bone dragons and hellhounds remain...

Under these circumstances, there's still a good chance of escaping.

Of course, only those captains have the ability.

After all...

The premise is...

Repel the first wave of werewolves.

Then brave the pursuit of seven bone dragons and fifteen hellhounds.

Perhaps also brave the pursuit of three storm titans.

There may also be encirclement by subsequent werewolf reinforcements.

If one can escape under these circumstances... then there really is a chance to escape.

But the difficulty is truly great.

If only they could first kill those creatures like the bone dragons and hellhounds.

But the werewolves have already arrived, and the opportunity has been lost.

That's not right.

There never was an opportunity.

The werewolves were clearly hiding and following alongside the whole time.

When exactly did they arrive?

When the bone dragons appeared, it actually meant the werewolves had appeared.

It should have been after Lu Yibing died that the werewolves followed up.

It seems from the very beginning, the initiative on the battlefield was completely in the werewolves' hands.

The World-Breaking Army was passive throughout.

The whole field was shifted back and forth.

Damn it...

Even escaping is hard now.

Although the lords' experiences differ, some principles are all similar.

Most lords can think through this problem.

They all fell somewhat silent.

The werewolves continued to laugh mockingly with confidence.

But they too had lost patience.

"Not talking? Not surrendering either? Our patience has run out, then you shall all die! Attack!"

In an instant, a formation lit up beneath the werewolf lords' feet.

Strange lines darted about at high speed.

Powerful energy surged.

Shen Jiyun immediately raised his hand and roared: "Prepare for battle! Activate the formation!"

At the command, formations lit up simultaneously on Jiang Chen and several mid-level captains, like miniature formations.

Several miniature formations connected and merged, rapidly growing larger.

Formation stripes also lit up beneath all the World-Breaking Army lords' feet.

The light of the two formations responded to each other, and the formation ranges rapidly drew together.

At the instant the formations intersected, Zhao Chi controlled Su Qin to leap high into the air.

Sizzle—

A bout of ringing in the ears.

High-intensity blue light lit up the ground.

The light instantly engulfed all the lords.

The blue light vanished.

All the lords disappeared.

Opening his eyes again, Zhao Chi stood naked in the center of Taoyuan Town.

Back already?

Moreover, it had detached from Su Qin's body.

Gu Qing and the others, along with nearly ten thousand female soldiers, all stared at him.

Zhao Chi showed no trace of fear.

Just felt it was a bit of a pity.

He had just wanted to leap up to dodge the formation's pull, hoping to stay behind in the spatial rift.

Looks like it failed.

How could the formation's effect be dodged just by jumping away?

A little naive.

Zhao Chi also knew that to escape, he had to first kill the Bone Dragon and the Hellhound.

But with werewolves guarding, there was simply no chance to kill them.

So Zhao Chi wanted to take advantage of the moment everyone was being recalled by the formation, stay behind in the spatial rift, then rush to the giant tree's side and cast the Gigantification Art on it.

That would greatly increase the giant tree's vitality, and it would surely hold on much longer.

A spiritual technique has a casting range.

If the distance is too far, the Gigantification Art cannot reach.

He had to get closer.

Besides, that ancient giant tree was a colossal magical beast, and it was unknown whether the Gigantification Art would even work on it.

But these were all idle thoughts — he had already been pulled back by the formation, so thinking about it was useless.

First, defeat the werewolves, then talk.

Su Qin 【Zhao Chi, have you gone back?】

Zhao Chi 【Mm, I'm in Taoyuan Town】

Su Qin 【Oh, I was calling out to you in my mind just now and you didn't respond, so I see. What do we do now?】
