As for the fire wall floating on the surface of the river, under the raging waves of the river and the berserk howls of the wind, it directly blew towards the Western Region Army located along the river.
How could the Western Region Army led by Commander Ling think about this, and not have enough time to defend, only to see the river water that was mixed with fire oil rush straight up the shore, and rush into the Western Region Army. And when the fire oil came into contact with the fire, it naturally would, and with the sound of the wind, it directly spread throughout the Western Region Army.
Many of the Human Clan soldiers were directly burnt by the flames, rolling on the ground while screaming in pain.
Commander Ling and the other three vice commanders were stunned. They never thought that their plan would be to smash their own feet with stones.
When Bai Yuhao saw this scene, he could not help but shake his head. He knew that this would be even more troublesome.
It was because the Western Region Army was obviously in disarray, and the toad Spirit Beast had already approached, and was about to reach shore. If they did not stabilize their morale in time, the consequences would be dire!
"Commander Ling, retreat immediately!" At this moment, Bai Yuhao immediately appeared in front of Commander Ling and requested.
"Withdraw our troops, are you joking? This Spirit Clan is coming over, if we retreat now, the river bank's terrain will be occupied by Spirit Clan, and at that time, our frontline position will be finished." One of the Vice Commanders immediately replied.
"If we do not withdraw now, I can guarantee that within two hours, all of our Western Region Army will be destroyed." As Bai Yuhao spoke, he gave off an aura that made people shudder.
Commander Ling and the other three vice commanders were obviously intimidated by Bai Yuhao's imposing manner. For a moment, they looked at each other and hesitated.
"Commander Ling, hurry up and decide!" Bai Yuhao replied with a cold look in his eyes.
"Retreat …" "Retreat!" Commander Ling also knew that his Western Region Army had been suddenly engulfed by the flames and his morale was in chaos. Even if he could order them with difficulty, he probably wouldn't be a match for those Spirit Beast.
"Commander Ling, I have another way …" The Vice Commander who failed in his plans still wanted to turn the tide.
"How the f * ck do you think we should do this? If not for you, how could we have suffered such a heavy loss?" "Withdraw …" Commander Ling swore.
Very quickly, the retreat horn sounded, and the Western Region Army soldiers who heard it immediately retreated to their positions, as if they had received an order of forgiveness.
In the blink of an eye, the river bank that the Western Region Army was supposed to defend with all their might was emptied out in an instant. At the same time, the twenty to thirty toad Spirit Beast all went ashore and took up their positions along the river bank.
However, those toad Spirit Beast did not continue to head towards Western Region Army's direction, but instead stayed on the ground beside the river.
On the other side, after Commander Ling led Western Region Army and retreated to the frontline camp, he immediately took count of the casualties. Unexpectedly, before the battle even started, more than a thousand people had already died, and those who died, were all burnt alive.
Adding up the number of deaths and injuries they had sustained while fighting those Spirit Beast, it was already close to two thousand people.
The entire Western Region Army only had a troop strength of no more than ten thousand. In these short few days, two thousand people had died and two thousand had been injured.
At this moment, Commander Ling's tent was deathly still.
Commander Ling was sitting in his seat looking extremely anxious. The other three Vice Commanders also lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly. Especially that Vice Commander who failed his mission, he had a face full of trepidation.
"Reporting..." Report... Something terrible has happened! " At this moment, a scout quickly rushed in.
"What is it?" Commander Ling's face darkened even more when he heard that.
"The army from Spirit Clan has begun to cross the river." The scout from the Spirit Master reported.
"What?" Commander Ling's expression changed drastically.
"Seems like last time, the purpose of the s crossing the river was to probe, but this time, it is to buy time for the Spirit Clan Army to cross the river. The Spirit Clan Army is already certain that we do not have any way to fight against the Spirit Beast s, thus, they were unbridled, the most important thing is that the Spirit Beast s have already occupied the terrain along the river, and have enough advantage to buy time for the Spirit Clan Army to cross the river." Bai Yuhao directly analyzed.
Commander Ling's face was filled with despair.
"If it wasn't for Commander Ling not believing me, things might not have turned out like this." Bai Yuhao also said honestly.
"Who do you think you are to make our commander believe you …" One of the deputy commanders proudly said.
"Since that's the case, then I shall return to the Tiger Whisker Pass." Bai Yuhao was too lazy to waste words. In any case, even if he lost the front line of the Western Regions, it had nothing to do with him.
Bai Yuhao left as soon as he said so. Seeing this, Commander Ling hurriedly got up and said, "Spirit King of Profound Dragon, don't be angry!" After he finished, he directly scolded the Vice Commander who had just spoke rudely, "You stupid thing, you're not a thing at all. Spirit King of Profound Dragon is an elite in Zhentian Academy, a representative in Spirit Infant Stage Conference. You guys aren't even qualified to help him carry his shoes …"
"Zhentian Academy? Spirit Infant Stage Assembly? " The three vice commanders obviously didn't know Bai Yuhao's identity. They thought that Bai Yuhao was just the captain of the Spirit Master team.
"Spirit King of Profound Dragon, don't you have a way to deal with the Spirit Beast? Maybe it's still too late. " Wu could only place his final hope on Liu's identity.
"I do have a way to deal with those Spirit Beast, but those Spirit Beast have already occupied the terrain along the river. Even if we deal with those Spirit Beast, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop the Spirit Clan army from crossing the river." Bai Yuhao said clearly. After all, time was of the essence, and dealing with twenty to thirty Spirit Beast s was not an easy task. Furthermore, the Spirit Clan army could land at any time.
"Is there really no other way?" Commander Ling looked pleadingly at Bai Yuhao.
"Unless I can control those Spirit Beast and have them stop the Spirit Clan army from crossing the river!" This was the only way Bai Yuhao could think of to turn the tide, and that was to seize control of the toad Spirit Beast from Maiden of Spirit Clan's hands.
Of course, this was not an easy task, even though Bai Yuhao's Divine Art of Controlling Spirits had already reached the highest level, he had never tried it before. At the same time, he had subdued so many Spirit Beast, and these Spirit Beast were themselves under the control of the Beast Controlling Master, this was definitely a huge challenge to him.
"Control Spirit Beast? You must be joking! " The three vice commanders obviously didn't believe that Bai Yuhao had this kind of ability.
"Can Spirit King of Profound Dragon really do it?" Although Commander Ling was also extremely shocked, he still held onto some hope. If Bai Yuhao was unable to do so, then the future of the Western Territory would not be looking good.
