Chapter 3118

They probably aren't friendly either—this area is within the White Tiger Regiment's ambush zone. If they were friendly, they would have notified us in advance.

Then they're enemies.

If it's two full brigades of werewolves… then we're at a bit of a disadvantage.

But it's fine. As long as we can stall until Gu Zhan and the others arrive, even if a fight breaks out now it's okay. We just need to hold out for 25 minutes.

For a war of this scale, it usually takes several hours at minimum. In 25 minutes, neither side has even made contact yet.

Almost simultaneously, a wolf howl rang out from the werewolves' side.

Imagawa Chisa narrowed his eyes and looked around warily.

He was also baffled.

This place is far west of Binghe County, and the central zone they're retreating to is on the east side of Binghe County.

Imagawa Chisa had deliberately taken a roundabout route, thinking the ambush forces here would be weaker, and never expected to run into the White Tiger Regiment's headquarters.

The werewolves' intelligence work was solid.

They knew the White Tiger Regiment had undergone internal changes and its combat power had risen significantly.

Especially Yao Feng's headquarters—its strength had skyrocketed.

Running into Yao Feng was truly rotten luck.

So he was willing to sacrifice one squadron of werewolves in exchange for the group's overall chance to escape.

Although cold and ruthless, for a brigade commander, this kind of coldness might not be a bad thing for the team.

But he hadn't expected anyone else to come?

That wolf howl was very clear—the ones coming were not friendly forces.

Then they were enemies.

Damn it… really can't get away?

Imagawa Chisa was grinding his teeth so hard they nearly cracked.

How could he be this unlucky—chose the longest route, and now has to take the worst beating?

What the hell is all this…

Yamazaki Shinsuke was also starting to panic.

If it were just the White Tiger Regiment's headquarters alone, although at a disadvantage, there was still a real chance of winning.

If another White Tiger Regiment brigade showed up, then forget it—certain death.

He hurriedly said: "Captain Imagawa, enemy reinforcements have arrived. How about we abandon two squadrons?"

"Two?" Imagawa Chisa was shocked—such losses would be far too great.

But he quickly considered its feasibility.

Oshima Orie sneered coldly from the side: "Didn't you just say the Holy Clan warriors would be disheartened? Now you're not afraid of disheartening them?"

Yamazaki Shinsuke snapped angrily: "What time do you think this is? Earlier it was just one White Tiger Regiment and we still had a fight, but now the enemy has reinforcements. If we don't get out fast, the whole army will be wiped out! Being disheartened is better than all dying! Otherwise, what do you suggest we do?"

Oshima Orie snorted: "Brigade Commander Imagawa, how about we abandon two squadrons?"

Imagawa Chisa gripped his hands tightly: this was the only way. "

He shouted loudly: "Regiment Commander Yao, we can abandon two squadrons for you. Surely that's enough, right? You get two squadrons without lifting a finger. Any more and we'll truly fight to the death!"

Yao Feng did not respond to her.

She had been getting updates from the scout riding a griffin overhead.

Yao Feng also had no idea at all who was approaching.

But from the werewolves' reaction, the ones coming weren't werewolves either?

If they're not from the World-Breaking Army, and not werewolves.

Then they can only be…?

The scout replied: 【Regiment Commander, it looks like those people are covered head to toe in enchanted golden armor. They should be nobles, but I can't tell yet which faction.】

Nobles?

Yao Feng saw those two words and froze completely.

What are nobles doing here?

This is the western area of Binghe County. The nobles are all in the northeast area of Binghe County.

The two locations are far apart. They're not in their own defense zone—what are they doing here?

Deliberately taking a detour here to intercept the werewolves?

Bullshit…

So something's off!

Yao Feng's gaze sharpened.

They're probably not here for the werewolves…

They're here for me!

Imagawa Chisa and the others also received the report from the scout overhead and learned that the ones coming were nobles.

Imagawa Chisa's wolf face went pale.

It's all over!

One Yao Feng alone could still be negotiated with—at worst, fight to the death and maybe still escape.

But if nobles have come, it's completely over.

Oshima Orie said anxiously: "Brigade Commander, what do we do? The nobles are here!"

Yamazaki Shinsuke cursed angrily: "Damn it, that bitch Yao Feng won't give an inch. How about we just retreat? Staying means death anyway. If we retreat, maybe some of us can get out!"

Imagawa Chisa looked up at Yao Feng from afar, saw her expressionless face, and had no idea what it meant.

Logically speaking, gifting two squadrons of werewolves for free was already a huge concession, but she still remained unmoved.

Then there's nothing to be done.

"Retreat! Retreat with everything you've got! Yamazaki Shinsuke, your squadron covers the rear! Oriyo, we're leaving!"

Yamazaki Shinsuke directly burned through one of his transformation counts, instantly turning into a giant wolf.

The next moment, on all fours, hands and feet working together, he bolted fiercely toward the north.

"Yes!" Oshima Oriyo answered without hesitation.

She and the other werewolves all transformed in an instant, sprinting away after Imagawa Chisa.

Only Yamazaki Shinsuke was left standing where he was.

"I'm covering the rear??"

Yamazaki Shinsuke's face was pure disbelief, looking as though he'd just eaten shit.

But the fact had already happened.

Aside from Yamazaki Shinsuke's Zhili squadron and a few elite Zhili subordinates of the deputy brigade commanders, every other werewolf had transformed and fled.

In truth, some of Yamazaki Shinsuke's own subordinates had also seized the chaos to escape.

But Yamazaki Shinsuke no longer had the energy to bother with them now.

Those who stayed were all highly loyal, but every one of these werewolves was at a loss for what to do.

"Cover your mother's ass! We're retreating too!"

Yamazaki Shinsuke let out a great roar, swiftly transformed into a giant wolf, and bolted south at top speed—the exact opposite direction from Imagawa Chisa.

Seeing Yamazaki Shinsuke run too, his subordinate werewolves naturally transformed one after another and fled desperately.

With the werewolves fleeing, the lord of the World-Breaking Army grew a little anxious.

"Commander, the werewolves are running—do we fight or not?"

"Quick, don't let them get away!"

"Commander, give the order!"

"While they're still close and we can still connect, if we wait any longer we won't be able to catch them!"

The distance between Yao Feng's regimental headquarters and Imagawa's main brigade was not far.

This distance could be closed.

Long-distance marches really do come down to movement speed, and the werewolves' high movement speed gave them a great advantage.

But a few hundred meters was right at hand, and there were many methods and spiritual techniques that could rapidly close the gap between the two sides.

Then one could directly connect to the opponent's territory and initiate a forced war.

But Yao Feng currently had absolutely no intention of bothering with those werewolves.

The nobles had come.
