Infinite Movie World

Chapter 1560 We Can't Win
a few hours later.

Finick's adjutant led 5000 soldiers who took off their armor to the Mirk Forest, and began to smoothly cut down the towering ancient trees in the Mirk Forest with axes and saws.

Some of these trees have grown for thousands of years, and some have even lived for tens of thousands of years. The trunks are very thick, so the work of cutting them down is also very hard.

According to Phoenix's plan, these 5000 people only need to work for 5 hours. After 5 hours, they can take turns to go back to rest, and then change the batch of 5000 people, and wait for the next batch of 5000 people to work for 5 After an hour, change to another batch.

In this way, after changing 4 batches, Mirkwood can almost be cut down.

This plan can be said to be good...if their opponent is not a dragon slayer.

The first batch of soldiers worked tirelessly for two hours, and just about to take a break in the middle, suddenly a long arrow was shot from deep in the dark forest!
A soldier was shot in the foot and screamed loudly.

The adjutant was taken aback and quickly ordered everyone to dodge.

But soon the reality fell like a torrential rain, and behind the coalition soldiers was the dark forest that had been cut down by them, without any cover at all.

Many soldiers' thighs were shot, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The adjutant's shoulder was also shot, and he was unable to organize a counterattack, so he could only wait for the 5000 soldiers to retreat back in embarrassment.

They retreated back to Fort Watch in one breath, and then asked Finick for reinforcements.

Phoenix immediately rushed to the Mirkwood with 5000 soldiers who had been urgently summoned, but when they arrived, there was no one in the Mirkwood.

"Damn it! Carlyle City is really abominable!" the adjutant cursed fiercely while clutching his injured shoulder.

"My lord, there shouldn't be many of them. If we catch up now, we should be able to kill them all!" The adjutant suggested.

Phoenix shook his head, "No, the woods in front have not been cut down. If we go deep, the big monster spider will rush up."

"Then what should we do? Just suffer like this?" the adjutant said angrily.

Finick sighed faintly, "I'm afraid we should go to Lord Faramir for this matter."

The adjutant asked: "Then shall we continue to cut down?"

Phoenix thought for a while and then said: "Wait, otherwise, we will be attacked by the people of Kaile City again."

"Yes! Everyone go back and wait for news!"

The coalition troops then retreated.

Earl William, who was hiding in an ambush in the dark forest, couldn't help laughing softly: "This group of people is really cowardly. We only have 100 people, but they have tens of thousands of people. They still dare not fight forward."

The knight next to him asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Earl William thought for a while, and then said: "Leave 5 fast ones here and continue to investigate here, and the rest will go back with me to rest."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the five knights stayed behind, and the other knights followed Earl William back to Carlyle City and reported to Xufeng.

After Xufeng heard the news, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Retreat? How do I feel that the commander I'm facing seems to be very bad. I thought there would be some thrilling scenes in this duel. Now look at it. Come on, I may have overestimated my opponent a bit."

Earl William said with a smile: "Isn't that just right? Why don't we just kill them and sneak attack their Fortress!"

Xufeng thought for a while, "If they have been so weak, we have a chance, but for now, we'd better wait and see to find a better time."

"Yes." Earl William said.

Xufeng said: "Okay, go to rest, you have been tired all day, if there is anything to do at night, I will tell Captain Mino to do it."

Earl William said quickly: "No, no! Lord Dragon Slayer! I'm not tired at all! If you have anything to do at night, you should come to me!"

Xufeng smiled, "Go and take a good rest. Only by resting well can you have more energy to make contributions."

"Yes..." Earl William shook his head helplessly. He only hoped that there would be no action at Fort Watcher at night, otherwise, he would really have missed the meritorious service.

On the other side, after counting the number of casualties, Phoenix hurried to the temporary barracks.

When the two guards guarding the temporary barracks saw Finick, they immediately frowned.

"What's the matter? Master Phoenix, it's only been less than five hours, and you've lost another battle?" one of the guards asked unceremoniously.

Finick wiped the sweat off his forehead helplessly, and said with embarrassment: "It's not a failure, it's not a failure... I still have some questions about tactics, and I want to ask to see Lord Faramir, please both of you." The guard will inform me again, thank you very much!"

He was obviously the commander of the coalition army, with 2 soldiers in his hand, but in front of these two guards, he bowed his knees and bowed his knees.

The guard sighed helplessly, "Okay, for the sake of the coalition brothers, I'll report to you again, but it's still the same sentence, whether Lord Faramir sees you or not is none of my business."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Guard." Finick nodded and bowed.

The guard then walked into the tent and reported the situation outside to Faramir.

Faramir was a little surprised, "What? So fast? Then let him in quickly!"

"Yes." The guard turned and left. After walking to the gate of the barracks, he faced Finick and said, "Fortunately, Lord Faramir is willing to see you. You can go in directly."

"Thank you very much!" Finick nodded and bowed, and walked in.

After entering the camp, Finick quickly saluted Faramir, "Lord Faramir... I'm sorry! Excuse me!"

Faramir frowned and said, "When is the time, don't use these nonsense, tell me, what happened, didn't you go to cut down trees?"

Phoenix smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I sent 5000 people to cut down trees, and after 5 hours, I can replace another batch of 5000 people, so that after 4 batches, Mirkwood should be completely cut down, but ... When our first batch of 1 people went to cut trees, we encountered archers from Kaile City. Those 5000 people were attacked by the archers. Because they did not carry combat weapons and equipment, they had to escape. When we went to support with reinforcements, the archers who attacked us all withdrew."

Faramir frowned and said: "Sure enough... this is the rhythm of the dragon slayer, we can't win, we can't win."
