Chapter 166 War Corruption
Chapter 166: War is ruined
The five legions arranged by the Empire of Light were on the front line, namely the First Legion, the Second Legion, the Fourth Legion, the Seventh Legion and the Tenth Legion. Austin, the commander of the First Legion, served as the supreme commander.
The five legions were stationed in five very important cities, forming a solid line of defense, blocking the road to the south of the Shadow Empire. Among them, the City of St. Paul, stationed by the First Legion, belongs to the largest and most important city in the north of the Light Empire. It is also the fulcrum of the entire line of defense.
Since the Light Empire began to prepare for war, several legions on the front line have entered a state of emergency. Because everyone can predict that as long as the Emperor of the Shadow Empire is not a fool, he will not allow the Light Empire to recruit soldiers and accumulate strength so calmly. After all, from the perspective of national strength, the Shadow Empire is much worse than the Light Empire.
But two months have passed, and the Shadow Empire has not responded yet, which has made the troops on the front line of the Light Empire relax again. Many people even believe that the Light Empire was mobilized at the beginning and was about to burst out with powerful combat power. The Shadow Empire has been scared and is now preparing for defense. After all, once the twenty legions of the Light Empire are ready, their powerful strength will be enough to completely crush the Shadow Empire. This view has a considerable market on the front line, and even the top leaders of the army agree.
On the last day of April, the attack of the Shadow Empire began. Including the Dark Legion, the army of nine armies suddenly launched an attack on the Light Empire. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of undead legions appeared in each army, and the combat power of low-level undead creatures was no worse than that of ordinary soldiers.
In the face of absolute disadvantage and at the same time, the army of the Empire of Light collapsed at once. The frontline positions were lost within one day, and all the remaining troops retreated to the cities they were stationed in.
However, under the attack of the superior forces of the Undead Legion and the Shadow Empire, the defense line is in danger.
The city of St. Paul, as a fulcrum, was under the greatest pressure. Although the number of people on both sides of the Dark Legion attacked them was similar, the ordinary soldiers of the Dark Legion were all warriors above level six, and their overall combat power was more than ten times that of the First Legion of the Light Empire.
The First Legion of the Light Empire sent none of the troops stationed on the front line, and they were completely wiped out by the Dark Legion.
When Austin received the battle report of the Shadow Empire's attack on the entire line and the entire defense line was in a precarious state, he was shocked and murmured: "How is this possible!" Then he immediately shrank his troops and prepared to defend and wait for assistance, but at this time the Dark Legion had already reached the bottom of St. Paul's city.
A large number of undead legions were attacking St. Paul as vanguards. The undead legions were not afraid of death at all. Under their attack, the First Legion of the Light Empire suffered heavy casualties. Then, the Dark Legion gave the First Legion of the Light Empire a fatal blow. Several lower-level god-level powerful men from the Dark Legion took action personally and blasted open the gate of St. Paul.
After the city was broken, although the First Legion of the Light Empire carried out a fierce street battle, the entire ending was still unable to be rewritten. In the end, the First Legion of the Light Empire, from the commander of the Legion Austin to ordinary soldiers, were all killed. But they only received tens of thousands of casualties to the Dark Legion. It was simply tiny.
But this casualties also angered Adolf. After breaking through St. Paul's City, Adolf cruelly issued an order to massacre the city. In the following days, a series of tragedies such as murder, rape, and robbery were constantly staged in St. Paul's City. When the Dark Legion continued to move south, there was no one living in St. Paul's City. Tens of millions of people were all poisoned. This made the undead mages who followed the army very happy. They needed a large number of corpses to refine undead creatures.
As soon as the city of St. Paul fell, it immediately shook the entire line of defense, especially the entire army of the First Legion of the Light Empire, which also greatly touched several other legions. Just three days later, the northern front that the Light Empire painstakingly managed was completely disintegrated. Most of the five legions, five million soldiers, were killed, and a very small number were captured. Less than one million fled back to the southern part of the Light Empire, which was a heavy casualty. And, the worst thing is that there was no longer a built-in army in the north of the Holy Light City. The Holy Light City was exposed to the front of the Shadow Empire.
After the news of the Shadow Empire's massive attack was reported back to the Holy Light City, the entire Holy Light City was in an uproar. A large number of people fled south with their families, hoping to avoid this war.
Wang Biao was also full of gray face. He did not expect that the Shadow Empire would launch a sudden attack, and he did not expect that the army of the Light would be so vulnerable. He lost the entire line of defense in just three days. Even if it was five million pigs, the Shadow Empire would probably be difficult to capture within three days. In other words, the army of the Light Empire was worse than that of the pigs.
At the same time, the Light Empire lost so many troops, which caused great changes to Wang Biao's follow-up plan. Even though the Light Church could defeat the Shadow Church and the Undead Union, there were not enough troops to occupy the same vast Shadow Empire. After the loss of five legions, there were only fifteen legions left in the Light Empire, including ten of which were recruits. If they were sent to the front line, they could only die.
"Taylor, go find Gustav immediately, the Light Guardian Legion, immediately give up the camp and retreat to the Holy Light City!" Wang Biao thought for a moment and ordered. At this moment, the Light Guardian Legion alone was in the north of the Holy Light City, and it was likely to be surrounded by the other party. Moreover, with the Dark Legion also dispatched, the Light Guardian Legion could not make any wish.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Taylor rushed to the barracks of the Light Guardian Legion with a serious expression.
"Henry, go find Elliot. Now it's time to exert the strength of the Holy See. The Holy See needs to come forward and call on the people to jointly resist the attack of the Shadow Empire!"
"See the order, sir!" Henry went to St. John's Cathedral without saying a word.
"Have, you can contact Miss Angela. Since the Shadow Empire has taken action, the Shadow Church is obviously ready to fight us. The main forces of the Holy Light must all gather in the City of Holy Light. Undoubtedly, this will become the decisive battle place for both sides! In addition, the Holy Light Legion is better to come here immediately." Wang Biao ordered calmly. The strong men of the Holy Light Legion can teleport through the teleportation array, but so many soldiers of the Holy Light Legion can only come across the ocean on warships.
Harvey nodded and immediately went to contact Guangming Holy Island.
After the Shadow Empire army wiped out the five legions on the front line of the Light Empire, only one legion was left to protect the rear. The remaining eight legions, including the Dark Legion, rushed straight to the Pilgrimage City of Light. The war was completely ruined.
