By the end of the 4th day, the soldiers were summoned to the city center again.
New changes were implemented, now the 7,500 soldiers defending the Wall turned to 5000, this time, the soldiers had 2 days to rest and cultivate.
Ember planned to spend another 9 days like this, bringing soldiers to even better conditions.
Honestly, if this was a normal war, this would not have been possible because, in the end, Ravenhill was just a city, not a fort, the Gate shouldn't have been able to hold for this long, it was not the matter of the number of soldiers or anything else.
If the Solid Earth Army did their best, breaking through the doors was just a matter of 2 days.
According to Armando, they weren't ordered to defeat them as soon as possible, they were only ordered to delay it as soon as possible, kill more and more soldiers, plunder as much as they can, and push back the Woods.
Their main goal was never a victory, their main goal was harassment.
There was a limit to how much Alcimus could endure.
And they wanted to break that limit.
That was also the reason why they didn't send more King Stage Cultivators other than Armando.
Even if Alcimus does act, Armando would be the only one to die, the rest of the 6 King Stage Cultivators would still be fine.
Of course, this was what Amaya deduced, from what she knows, Armando still didn't know that he and the 3 more Generals were all sacrifices.
Actually, Amaya believed that not only these 4, but Herms wouldn't mind even if the other 3 Generals were also killed as long as he achieved his goal.
As to what his goal was, they didn't know.
They only knew that the enemy would continue to attack at the same pace, so they could relax and let their soldier regain their energy.
However, 5 days after the new change was implemented, the women received a message.
'Tomorrow, we will be attacking with 20,000 soldiers, this time, 4 King Stage Cultivators will attack together to try and break through the doors.'
Seeing that rather than putting more pressure on the Woods, they were only giving them time to rest,
The Solid Earth Army decided to attack seriously.
"Will it be fine?" Amaya questioned.
"Well, it is a little early but the soldiers have still recovered considerably. We can leave a few enemy soldiers to them." Ember replied.
"Do you have a plan?" Amaya questioned. Although she was the main strategist of the group, when it came to War, Ember was a much better candidate than her.
"Of course. All my soldiers are ready."
A wild smile then appeared on Ember's face as she continued,
"Tomorrow, the Solid Earth Army would break through the Gates and will then perish."
"What's the plan?" Thyra questioned.
Ember glanced at her, then, the map of the city appeared in her hands, she placed it on the Table and started explaining her plan.
…
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the Solid Earth Army appeared, this time, however, their number was twice the number before.
"Send the message! The enemy forces have doubled!"
An Assistant General shouted.
"As you command!"
The messenger quickly rushed towards the base.
"Everyone! Don't lose hope! The reinforcement will arrive soon! Continue to shoot arrows! Kill as many enemies as you can! Don't let them climb up or break the Gate!"
Deputy General Laurence shouted.
"YEAHHHH!!"
The Woods Soldiers roared loudly.
"Hahaha!
You weaklings! You think you would have a chance to hold us back before your reinforcement arrive!? Foolish!
Solid Earth Army! Show these weaklings what we are actually made of!
Destroy them!"
"YEAAAAHHH!!!"
The Solid Earth Army roared in high morale.
*BAM*
In just the first wave of attack, a few cracks appeared on the Gate!
"Hahaha! Let's see how long this Gate holds on for!" The Enemy General, Fredgelord, shouted.
Seeing the cracks, Laurence's eyes widened in surprise.
"How is that possible!?"
He shouted in disbelief.
"HAHAHA!"
In answer, he only heard the enemy General's laugh.
"Woods Soldiers!
RETREAT!"
Laurence shouted.
"W-What?"
The soldiers couldn't believe it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
RETREAT!
RETURN TO THE BASE! WE CAN"T FIGHT THEM!
The Ravenhill City…
Will be breached today."
Laurence shouted.
"HAHAHA!"
The Enemy General laughed.
The Woods Soldiers quickly stored their weapons and started running away.
With no one attacking them from above, the Solid Earth Army didn't have to worry about the defense and continued to focus on the Gate.
*BAM*
A few more cracks appeared on the Gate.
"Don't give these bastards the time to run away! Destroy the doors! Kill these weaklings as quickly as you can!"
Fredgelord ordered.
"YEAHHH!!"
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
The Solid Earth Army continued to attack the Gate, in the end, the Gate failed to hold on after being attacked like this for so long.
*BAM*
*Burst*
The doors were burst open.
Seeing this, Fredgelord's smile widened and he ordered,
"Kill all these Bastards! Don't let them regather with their Main Army! Kill them first! Then we will follow the momentum and destroy the Main Army as well!
Today is the day Ravenhill City would fall!
CHARGE!"
Armando commanded.
"YEAHHH!!!"
The 20,000 soldiers quickly rushed into the city, then under their General's lead, they all started chasing the Woods Soldiers.
The Chase continued for a while, the Gate had given the Woods Army a 10 Minute Head start, the soldiers continued to run away, of course, the higher rank soldiers were faster, however, even the lower-ranking soldiers were still far from the Solid Earth Army.
The Solid Earth Army, however, didn't give up and continued to chase.
30 hours later, the Solid Earth Soldiers could now see the Woods Army in their vision.
Seeing this, Fredgelord's smile widened and he commanded,
"Kill all these bastards!!"
"YEAAHHH!!!"
"Wait, who are they?" Suddenly, General Marcus narrowed his eyes as he pointed at 7 people wearing Black Purple clothes.
The other 3 Generals frowned,
"Why does it feel like they are waiting for us?" Armando couldn't help but question.
"L-L-Look at their Cultivation!" General Marcus shouted.
"Huh? How great can it b-"
General Fredgelord was about to laugh, however,
"We are fucked…"
