Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 308 Retreat?

The first and closest positions were those defended by the Western Army and the Northwestern Army. The Western Army was especially close, as its position was even further forward.

The Blood River God-killing Formation had already engulfed the entire East China Sea City and was about to reach their position.

The result of the Blood River God-killing Formation colliding with them was imaginable. The order issued by the General Command was to stop their advance at all costs.

"Commander-in-chief? Where is the Eternal Heaven? Where is the Eternal Heaven? Why haven't you launched the attack yet?" Dong Zian almost roared at Yu Guanzhi.

After discovering that the Blood River God-killing Formation had changed direction, he immediately came to Yu Guanzhi and roared.

Yu Guanzhi said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. The Eternal Heaven is not here."

Dong Zian said angrily: "What time is it? Where are the people from Shrek and Tang Sect? Call them over! Without the Eternal Heaven, how can we break the formation?"

Seeing his anxious and angry look, Yu Guanzhi couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He said coldly: "The super weapon is still being prepared. But before it is ready, we must stop the enemy's advance at all costs."

"You're talking nonsense. They're coming towards us now. As the commander-in-chief, if you don't have a way to deal with it, we can only retreat. Otherwise, we'll die!"

"How dare you!" Yu Guanzhi was also angry, "Dong Zian, do you know what you are talking about? If you retreat in the face of battle, I have the right to punish you by military law."

Dong Zian hesitated. He knew that Yu Guanzhi was right. He couldn't back down at this moment.

"Commander-in-chief, if we block it now, we will die. At the current speed, we will make contact in twelve hours at most. Please tell me, how can we stop them from advancing? We have tried all the heavy weapons of the Federation. Is there any that can break through that layer of defense?"

Yu Guanzhi frowned and said in a deep voice: "I understand your feelings. However, we can only wait. I have already reported to the Federation that it is not so easy to activate the Eternal Heaven. A large amount of resources must be prepared, and the Federation has already agreed. Now we can only hope to complete it within twelve hours. I will mobilize all the troops to help you resist together."

Dong Zian took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. "Commander-in-chief, let's not talk about personal grudges. We are facing a powerful enemy. I have been in the army for so many years, and I am not afraid of death. None of my brothers are cowards who are afraid of death. But we cannot die unclearly and we cannot die alone. No matter what, let them die faster and faster."

After saying this, the commander of the Western Legion turned around and strode away.

Soon, after the firepower became ineffective, a large number of powerful soul masters also attempted to attack the Blood River God-killing Formation.

But it was obvious that the effect was minimal. Even the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, who was born to restrain evil soul masters, seemed powerless at this moment.

The blockade lasted until the evening. The Blood River God-killing Formation was only a hundred kilometers away from the Western Legion's front line. From the top of the mountain where the defenders were, they could clearly see the appearance of the formation.

Everyone's heart became extremely heavy. How to resist such an opponent? However, if such an opponent is not resisted, the next situation can be imagined. All the garrisons are defending their positions, blocking all the passages leading to the interior of the continent, so now other legions cannot be transferred to rescue. The key is that even if they are transferred, it will be useless.

According to the current speed at which the Blood River God-killing Formation is advancing, it will move to the Western Legion’s camp by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Dong Zian has urged countless times, but the transformation of the Eternal Heaven has not been completed and is still ongoing.

Western Army Headquarters.

"It must be intentional! Shrek Academy and Tang Sect must be deliberately delaying time. They just want to take the opportunity to weaken our strength." Dong Zian roared angrily in the command center.

At this time, in the Western Legion Command, besides him, there was also the Spirit Tower Master Qiangu Dongfeng and many Spirit Tower high-ups.

An officer with the rank of Lieutenant General said anxiously: "Captain, you must make a decision soon! We are definitely not able to resist the Blood River God-killing Formation. If our brothers try to stop it, they will only sacrifice themselves in vain!"

Dong Zian's breathing was a little heavy. "Shut up, don't I know? Master of the Ancient Pagoda, do you have any solution?"

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. The overall energy intensity is too high, and we also have no way to deal with it. Now only the Eternal Heaven has hope. I never thought that the Holy Spirit Church could create such a powerful existence. General, I'm afraid we have no choice but to retreat now."

"Retreat?" Dong Zian clenched his fists. What does retreat mean? Retreating means abandoning the original defensive position. It takes time to build a defensive position, and it also takes time to dismantle it. Now there is no time for them to dismantle it. In other words, once the position is abandoned, it is impossible to build it back again. Moreover, if they retreat, it is equivalent to opening a passage for the abyss army. Many abyss creatures are likely to march straight in and go deep into the heart of the continent.

However, if they did not retreat, they would face the impact of the Blood River God-killing Formation, which would surely bring disastrous consequences to the Western Legion.

“I can’t retreat. If I do, I will be a sinner of the Federation.” Dong Zian closed his eyes in pain.

Qiangu Dongfeng said, "What if we just pretend to retreat? I now suspect that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are deliberately not using the Eternal Heaven. They want to wait until the Blood River God Killing Formation causes great damage to us before using it, which will not only weaken us, but also kill the opponent. Moreover, the explosion of the Eternal Heaven will inevitably affect us. Why don't we pretend to retreat and see the reaction of the headquarters and the Tang Sect."

Dong Zian opened his eyes again, and the light in his eyes flickered unsteadily.

He had always suspected that Yu Guanzhi was deliberately trying to trick their Western Legion. Now that Qiangu Dongfeng said so, his suspicions became even stronger.

After all, he and Yu Guanzhi had always been incompatible. He suspected that Yu Guanzhi was teaming up with Tang Sect and Shrek to cheat their Western Legion and the Spiritual Pagoda.

After all, in a sense, Yu Guanzhi himself is relatively closer to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.
