Moreover, the Holy Demon Dragon believed that even if his guess was wrong, he could still ambush the human troops on their route. He thought to himself that if Jiang Yu really met with an accident, then Jiang Yu's troops and Yu Wanyi's coalition forces, having lost their leading general, would definitely be eager to evacuate this troubled place. In this way, if he could set up a dragnet halfway, he would be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop and achieve a glorious victory! Although it is impossible to directly seize the treasure in the maze, as long as it can gain a lot in this battle, it will be a huge gain for the Holy Demon Dragon. What's more, this can also be a great opportunity for him to strike at the human forces in the elite area and demonstrate his own prestige! Thinking of this, the Holy Demon Dragon immediately gave orders and dispatched the elite reconnaissance troops of the Demon Dragon Clan to conduct a detailed survey of the surrounding terrain and buildings in order to find the best ambush location. However, the reconnaissance team soon reported that the surrounding terrain was extremely complex, the buildings were scattered around, and the paths were winding, making it difficult to find an ideal ambush position in a short period of time. Although such terrain is conducive to hiding troops, it also brings great inconvenience to surprise attacks. Upon hearing this, the Holy Demon Dragon frowned. He had just arrived and had no idea about the terrain of Tianqiong Mansion. But time waits for no one. The action of five million troops requires careful planning and deployment, and cannot tolerate any delay.
It would be bad if the human race came early and he hadn't completed his formation. "In that case," the Holy Demon Dragon hesitated for a moment and made a decisive decision, "We will set up an assault formation and point the direction we came from." "As soon as the human army appears in our sight, we will immediately launch an assault and catch them off guard!" Of course, the Holy Demon Dragon is also aware of the weaknesses of this formation. This formation is not good at defense and has difficulty dealing with attacks from behind. But the Holy Demon Dragon didn't care about it. He firmly believed that it was impossible for someone to attack them from behind. After all, the other lords of all races have already left this area. Next, as time went by, there seemed to be unusual movements coming from behind the army. Then, a chaotic sound of footsteps, shouts and the collision of weapons intertwined together, breaking the original tranquility. "What's going on?" The Holy Demon Dragon stood up suddenly and looked behind him with sharp eyes. There was unquestionable authority and urgency in his voice. A dragon warrior hurried over and reported with a pale face: "Lord Holy Dragon, it's not good!" "There are human soldiers attacking us from behind. They are so fast that we don't have time to react!" "What?!" The Holy Demon Dragon was shocked when he heard this. He could hardly believe his ears. The human race actually launched a surprise attack from the rear? How can this be? ! Aren't they supposed to come from the front? The Holy Demon Dragon's heart was filled with confusion and shock. He originally thought that his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect that the human race would see through it in advance.
At this moment, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and all his confidence and pride vanished in an instant. Shouldn't the human race think that all of their lords had left? Why did he encounter such a precise surprise attack? Originally, the Holy Demon Dragon was looking forward to intercepting Jiang Yu's troops by surprise. However, at this moment, he found that his carefully planned plan had already been seen through by the other party! A strong chill surged in the heart of the Holy Demon Dragon. Whose idea was it? How could he predict his actions so accurately? Even if it was Jiang Yu himself, it would be impossible for him to calculate the situation to such an extent! The Holy Demon Dragon was filled with doubts and shock, but the situation before him did not allow him to think too much. At this moment, a dense human army emerged in the front, echoing the surprise attacking troops in the rear, forming a pincer attack. The Holy Demon Dragon saw through the human race's intention at a glance. They obviously wanted to use this pincer attack tactic to destroy his troops in one fell swoop. Although the Holy Demon Dragon was not afraid, the five million troops under his command were not inferior to the coalition forces of Jiang Yu and Yu Wanyi in number. But facing this situation of being attacked from both sides and the current unfavorable formation, he knew that it was not wise to continue fighting hard. Therefore, the Holy Demon Dragon made a decisive decision: "All troops, listen to my order, retreat!" He planned to lead his troops to evacuate the battlefield first, find a safe place to stabilize the formation, and then regroup and fight a decisive battle with the human race! However, when he rode to the rear of the army, he unexpectedly saw a human general coming towards him. The man was holding a Longdan silver spear and looked heroic. He was Zhao Yun, a general under Jiang Yu! The Holy Demon Dragon snorted with disdain. He knew very well that the Demon Dragon Clan was a mixed bloodline of the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan. They possessed the strong physique of the Dragon Clan and the amazing magical abilities of the Demon Clan. Naturally, he, the Holy Demon Dragon, would not take a mere human warrior seriously. Of course, he did not take it lightly. After all, in the previous legion competition, the generals under Jiang Yu had already demonstrated amazing strength and wisdom. Therefore, the Holy Demon Dragon did not rush forward to confront Zhao Yun head-on, but instead sent out eight of his generals to surround and kill Zhao Yun. However, what the Holy Demon Dragon did not expect was that there seemed to be more than one person on Zhao Yun's side. He knew very well that Jiang Yu had five military generals and one civil official, Zhuge Liang, under his command. Therefore, there were a total of three human generals who launched a surprise attack from behind, all of whom were powerful generals under Jiang Yu! Logically speaking, three against eight was clearly a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, Jiang Yu's three generals were extremely brave, and they joined forces to fight against eight generals, and they were not at all inferior. Moreover, after just a few rounds, the eight generals sent by the Holy Demon Dragon were knocked off their horses and defeated! The shock in the Holy Demon Dragon's heart was difficult to calm down. He looked at the scene in disbelief. Why are the strength displayed by Jiang Yu's generals even stronger than in the Legion Arena? ! The Holy Demon Dragon was not aware that after the Legion Arena Competition ended, Jiang Yu used the recruitment order to draw a large number of exclusive equipment for his generals, which made their strength achieve a qualitative leap. Therefore, the generals under Jiang Yu's command are now more difficult for the Holy Demon Dragon to deal with than during the legion arena competition! The Holy Demon Dragon was frightened. He knew very well that it was not appropriate for him to engage in a head-on confrontation with Jiang Yu's generals again. However, at this moment he was attacked from both sides, with dense buildings on both sides, and his escape route was severely restricted.
He looked around and discovered with horror that he was in a desperate situation with nowhere to escape! "Does the Heaven really want to kill me here?" A feeling of despair surged in the heart of the Holy Demon Dragon. (End of this chapter)
