Lin Mo looked into the distance, toward the Portal five kilometers away.
This order was too strange.
Wasn't the retreat supposed to let him avoid the brunt of the attack?
But now that they were behind the defensive line, why were they still being told to dig holes?
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Unless... some kind of indiscriminate, wide-area attack was coming!
A nuclear strike?
Lin Mo's expression darkened.
He couldn't quite understand Long Zhan's decision. Even with a low-yield nuclear weapon-a hydrogen bomb-the radiation was no joke.
There were still so many soldiers and Elf allies here!
Lin Mo exhaled heavily and decided to follow the arrangements first, no matter what. He could ask General Long about it afterward.
He glanced at Wu Suowei and the other three guards, who had already taken out their Entrenching Shovels and started digging, and immediately frowned.
"This is too slow."
He looked around and found an Earth Elf nearby. After he explained, the Elf readily agreed to help.
Everyone had witnessed the Great Xia forces' powerful firepower on the front lines. It had stunned them all.
Although many Elves had never interacted with Lin Mo before, they were happy to offer their ally, Great Xia, a little help within their abilities.
Under the Elf's magical control, the ground rapidly sank and soil churned. A makeshift trench large enough to hold hundreds of people quickly took shape.
It would ensure that when the shock wave arrived, the soldiers and Elves could quickly jump into the trench for cover.
The guards looked at the little pits they had just dug, then at the trench in front of them, and silently put away their Entrenching Shovels.
Wu Suowei: "..."
Just then,
"Whoo-!!!"
"We won!!"
"The Demon Clan is retreating! The Demon Clan army
