Under the intensive firepower, Su Chen's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

On the other side, Jiang Yan's front troops had been completely defeated, leaving only the follow-up troops struggling to support themselves.

Because this battle was originally an ambush, Su Chen's side had the geographical advantage and numerical advantage, seizing the opportunity at the beginning.

This gave this battle a higher advantage in terms of basic combat.

More than half of the team Su Chen brought this time suffered casualties, and Jiang Yan's team, which had lost its front troops, was left with less than 300 people struggling to support itself.

Of course, Pikadi's team also suffered heavy losses, but it was not as serious as Su Chen's team. After all, Pikadi's team was mostly at the back.

This is not because the lives of soldiers under Pikadi are more precious than those under Su Chen, nor is it possible that Su Chen and Pikadi did this intentionally. This is just a prearranged order.

Dragon City and the Sunset Cult are an alliance, and their relationship with each other is equal. There is no situation where the status of any camp overshadows the status of another camp.

When the battle reached this point, Jiang Yan's attack on the Sunset Cult was completely defeated.

Let Jiang Yan sense and explore the soldiers on Su Chen's side. In his perception, that area is always calm and without any energy fluctuations.

Jiang Yan knew that this was an evolver who used some special skill to specialize the entire area, causing his perception to lose its normal function in this area.

Although what Jiang Yan was thinking about was not the specific effect of the sensory barrier, the difference was not that big.

The forward troops have suffered all their casualties, and if they continue to fight, his troops will only be wiped out.

After confirming that the opponent was stronger than his own warriors in all aspects, Jiang Yan ordered his team to retreat.

Jiang Yan could not remember the last time he retreated. It might have been three days before the outbreak of the apocalypse. He had not ordered his team to retreat for a long time. This feeling of long absence made him feel frustrated.

This feeling is not good.

Although Jiang Yan ordered the team to retreat, it did not mean that he was leaving, nor did it mean that the battle was completely lost.

Jiang Yan is well aware of the importance of top combat power to a team. There are less than 300 elite warriors left. They are of no use now. But once Jiang Yan eliminates Su Chen's top combat power, those 300 elite warriors will cooperate.

The top combat power of Jiang Yan's side is enough to defeat the opponent.

When Su Chen saw that the opponent's soldiers began to retreat in full force, he did not order the team to pursue the victory. The soldiers stayed in place and the bullets did not stop for a moment.

These were all within Jiang Yan's expectations.

Su Chen's side has the geographical advantage and the numerical advantage. If they take advantage of the victory and pursue it at this time, wouldn't it be an advantage to Jiang Yan's side?

A strong man who can ambush here in advance cannot be stupid enough to let his soldiers die.

After the team withdrew, Jiang Yan quickly adjusted his team and stayed where he was.

His target this time was the Sunset God Sect. Although he did not recognize any of the enemy fighters in front of him, he was sure that there must be Sunset God Sect soldiers among them. This meant that although he did not reach the Sunset God Sect, he was still here.

It's not in vain.

The purpose of his trip was to kill the soldiers of the Sunset Sect and Dragon City, not to defeat the Sunset Sect and Dragon City, so he had no reason to retreat, and Jiang Yan would not allow himself to suffer defeat.

Jiang Yan could accept the loss caused by a momentary misstep, but it was absolutely impossible for him to retreat now and then send troops back.

The two sides are one mile apart, which is not a long distance for a cross-sea bridge that is dozens of kilometers long.

The two teams faced off and looked for opportunities for each other.

Whether it's Pikadi, Su Chen, or Jiang Yan, they don't pay much attention to whether this battle will be won. They pay more attention to how to kill the strongest person on the other side.

If there are irreversible factors in this battle, both sides can accept defeat, but they absolutely cannot accept that the strongest person on the other side leaves right before their eyes.

The strongest men on both sides are waiting for the opportunity to take action.

Because the geographical location here is really not good, even if he is stronger than Jiang Yan, what he can do is very limited. In this environment, he can be sure that if he rushes over rashly, 90% of the time he will die on the way.

Jiang Yan's body was not strong enough to withstand bullets, let alone artillery bombardment.

Neither party can find an opportunity, and neither party is willing to leave.

This confrontation lasted from morning to noon.

According to Jiang Yan's original plan, this time should be the time to launch a general attack on the Sunset God Sect.

If nothing else goes wrong, the battle will be over within an hour.

However, he could not reach the Sunset Cult, but he encountered Sunset Cult soldiers. The battle that he originally thought could be resolved in one hour, now the two sides have been facing off for two hours without making any move.

Jiang Yan is a serious problem for Su Chen and Pikadi, and they have a lot of time to waste with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan didn't know whether the leader of the hostile forces ahead was the leader of the Sunset Cult or the leader of which camp. He only knew that he came here specifically to help Jiang Keke completely remove the obstacles.

Not to mention a few hours, even a day or two, he can afford it.

Both sides have time to spend, and they don't care about changes in the surrounding environment.

Whether it is Su Chen, Bika Di, or Jiang Yan, as the leaders of the three major camps, their determination is very strong. If they don't move, the soldiers under their banner will naturally not move either.

As time passed by, it turned into night.

Four hours had passed since the sun set, and it was completely dark.

Although it is dark, the hearts of the soldiers have not changed. Their fighting spirit is still as blazing as the day, and they can launch the most violent offensive at any time.

The dark night is not suitable for humans, whether it is ordinary warriors, immune people, or evolved people.

Although the night can restrict human beings, for evolvers such as Su Chen, Pikadi, and Jiang Yan, as they continue to advance, what they can restrict is already very limited.

Dark night is a very good time to attack!

Jiang Yan is waiting. As the aggressor, he will naturally start the attack. He is choosing a suitable time. This time must ensure that he will not die under intensive bullet fire halfway.

A few hours later, late at night.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and everything was completely silent. Even if the soldiers on both sides tried to keep their spirits up, their reaction and action abilities would be unable to restrain themselves from slowing down.

This is a very good offensive time, the best offensive time tonight.

But after Jiang Yan saw the opponent's methods, he chose to wait tonight and ordered the team to rest one after another and not make any big moves tonight.

Neither Jiang Yan nor his generals rested.

On the other side, Su Chen and Bikadi, as the leaders of the team, restrained the enemy leader, so naturally they couldn't sleep.

Su Chen and Pikadi had spent two days and one night from the morning before yesterday to today. They saw that time was flowing, and the morning was not far away.

Although the two of them had not rested for 40 consecutive hours, they did not have any adverse physical factors, and they did not suffer from any negative symptoms such as confusion and slow movement.

Both Su Chen and Pikadi believed that this time was the best time for Jiang Yan to attack.

Although it is the best time to attack, it is not the inevitable time to attack. Su Chen and Pikadi ordered the team to rest one after another and recuperate. They did not let all the soldiers be there just because the opponent was most likely to attack at this time.

Stand by here.

As expected, Jiang Yan did not order an attack tonight. Until the sun rose, Su Chen was able to see through the telescope that Jiang Yan's team was still stationed in place.

In the early morning, as the sun gradually rose, Pikadi rubbed his eyes and said, "It's not an option to wait like this. Why don't you fire a few shots and let me see your shooting skills."

Su Chen understood what Pikadi meant. He hoped that he could kill several generals under Jiang Yan with his sniper rifle, and it would be best to scare them.

"One mile is not that far. It's no problem to snipe some ordinary things. But what you think is completely impossible. I'd better save some energy. It's not easy to deal with Jiang Keke." Su Chen declined politely.

"That's true. It's such a waste. They are marching in a hurry this time and don't bring much food. We can delay them longer than them. Whether they withdraw or charge again, it will be beneficial to us."

He nodded.

Indeed, although Jiang Yan led the team this time without rushing to march, the plan was to wipe out all the Dragon City soldiers before noon today at the latest and return to the central stronghold before dinner.

They didn't bring much food, they could only last until noon today.

However, in yesterday's battle, more than half of the soldiers on Jiang Yan's side were killed or injured. Due to the food problem, there were fewer people, so they were able to hold on for most of the day.

This is enough, because tonight is the best time for Jiang Yan to attack, and it is also the time when he has to attack now.

Su Chen and the others didn't know what Jiang Yan was thinking, but Su Chen knew that Jiang Yan's team didn't have much food. If they had to fight, it would definitely happen today or tomorrow, and it would definitely not be delayed until the day after tomorrow.

It is enough to know this.

After the sun rose, the teams on both sides seemed to resonate with each other, and more soldiers entered a short sleep. Although the sleep was not solid, it was better than holding a gun all the time.

At noon, the team started eating one after another, and more soldiers entered Mengxiang.

Noon to dusk is the worst time period for an attack. With Jiang Yan's strength, no matter how many ideas he has, it is impossible to choose this time period for the attack.

Both teams made sleep adjustments at this time.

Of course, such a short sleep will not have much effect. Once late at night, before two o'clock in the morning, even if they sleep for three to six hours, they will be more tired than last night.

This is what Jiang Yan wants.

The sleep time of ordinary warriors or those with one or two levels of immunity is not much different from that of normal people. Especially older warriors, their combat ability in the middle of the night is very poor.

What Jiang Yan wants is not that the soldiers on his side can display their combat power well in the middle of the night. What he wants is just the soldiers on Su Chen's side, who cannot display much combat power in the middle of the night.

Only in this way will it be his turn to perform. Once he performs well, the army will just charge, and victory is just a matter of clarion call.
