Xing Zhenyuan saw the soldiers discussing fervently, and his face couldn’t help but turn ashen. The battle hadn’t even begun, and the morale of the army had already started to weaken, he said coldly, “This is just a small trick of the East Phoenix Kingdom. Whoever dares to make any further comments will be punished by military law!”
The soldiers immediately didn’t dare to say anything more, but their hearts were filled with fear. They kept feeling that this heaven-tracing river was unusual.
Xing Zhenyuan and the others had discussed it. Now that the morale of the army was fluctuating, the best way was to quickly cross the heaven-tracing river. Otherwise, the rumors would spread more and more.
Therefore, the allied forces of the three countries did not rest and directly began to cross the river.
The Star Sun Country, the ghost gold country, and the winged fire country were not close to the sea, so they only carried a few large ships. It was obviously not realistic to transport all the troops there.
Fortunately, the heaven-tracing river was calm, and there were no high-level demon beasts, so they could swim over.
Therefore, Xing Zhenyuan ordered the high-level generals to take the large ships over, while the ordinary soldiers had to swim to the other side on their own.
At first, the soldiers were a little nervous. was there any hidden danger in the heaven-tracing river? However, it was difficult to disobey the military orders, so they could only brace themselves and jump into the heaven-tracing river.
However, seeing that the big ship carrying the high-ranking officers had reached the middle of the river without any problems, the soldiers became bolder. They were probably scaring themselves, so nothing would happen.
When most of the soldiers were in the river, someone vaguely heard a sound, which seemed to be the sound of a huge current. While everyone was puzzled, the sound of the roar became louder and louder, there was a huge current pouring down from the upstream.
When everyone saw the huge current rushing towards them, they were instantly thrown into chaos. Some soldiers tried their best to climb onto the boats, while others turned around and ran towards the shore. All of a sudden, they stepped on each other, screams and screams could be heard continuously.
In an instant, the huge current rushed down. What was worse was that there were vines and water plants in the current. Those soldiers had no way to break free and could only follow the direction of the current and be washed down.
Even the few large ships carrying high-ranking generals were overturned by the huge waves. The generals fell into the water one after another and were washed down with the current.
On the shore, Xing Zhenyuan and the others were both shocked and annoyed. What was going on? Why did the flood suddenly start?
“Marshal, the downstream is filled with cliffs and cliffs. Moreover, it is forbidden to fly. Regardless of whether our soldiers return from the waterway or take a detour, it will take at least half a day or even a day.
“And we only have less than one-fifth of our troops left. If the people of the East Phoenix Kingdom launch a sneak attack on us, we will most likely be in deep trouble. Therefore, we should retreat first.”Huo Mingye suggested.
Jin Haokui’s face was covered with a thick white cloth. He gritted his teeth and said, “You are right. Whether it is that big rock or the flood, it is most likely that the woman emperor of the Zephyr Nation’s vicious scheme.
“If we don’t retreat, we might fall into her trap. “That B * tch, if I catch her, I’ll definitely tear her into pieces!”
Xing Zhenyuan saw that the two of them had said so and immediately ordered Bai Li to retreat to avoid being ambushed by the East Phoenix Kingdom. They would wait until the troops had regrouped before discussing a good plan to cross the river.
Who would have thought that the next day at noon, there would be soldiers running back one after another. The wounded General Feng almost cried out,
“Marshal, the East Phoenix Kingdom has set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the lower reaches of the river. We were disoriented by the river water, and we were entangled by vines and aquatic plants. We were like living targets. We suffered heavy casualties.”
