General Hans was momentarily stunned.
In the face of a full retreat, there was actually a legion moving against the current?
He hadn't ruled out the idea of moving the rear troops forward, but one question always lingered in his mind: would it be of any use?
They could still hold their own for now, and if the enemy's offensive slowed down, especially it moved further away from the support of the Nest Capital's Sinister Energy Cannon, their assault would inevitably weaken with increasing distance from the active Nest Capital. He had already prepared himself to abandon the first few defense lines and regroup further back.
But if he really moved the troops from the remaining defense lines forward, and if they could hold off the enemy, all would be well. If they couldn't, a massive collapse could come even sooner.
How should one choose?
...
No matter how conflicted General Hans was behind the scenes, Li Kexi nevertheless took action.
