With Li Yao's command, the air force, which was in the process of executing the launch order, quickly retreated in the opposite direction of the Gargoyles.
Li Yao also issued an order to retreat, instructing those troops with Advanced Wisdom to retreat before the front lines completely collapsed; namely, the Dwarves and the Gnomes.
These troops were Li Yao's treasures. Without them, his war machines would have been reduced to useless piles of metal.
Li Yao's order instantly made these Dwarves and Gnomes feel grateful towards him, and Collet felt like he had chosen the right leader, which stirred a surge of valor in his heart.
"Although our lord has ordered us to retreat, we must not slacken our efforts and should hold out as long as we can," Collet roared, inspiring his troops.
Despite this declaration, without the support and suppression of the aerial forces, Li Yao's troops were clearly outmatched, and the front lines began to crumble.
