Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 181 Trap?

"Guess I underestimated them," Seth thought as he jumped to avoid a flaming rock, and with his vantage point, was able to make out the image of huge catapults slinging the flaming rocks at them from the distance.

Seth glanced behind him and was relieved to see Xulu doing his job properly, a huge blue dome already erected and protecting the slowly moving crowd.

Seth would have moved to motivate them to pick up the pace, but when he saw Xulu partially Seth ablaze one of the people within the dome, he decided to let the man handle things.

Taking his attention back to the skies and actively moving around, Seth noticed the raining fire rocks begin getting fewer in the sky, the enemy probably already figuring out they were just wasting resources or switching tactics.

With the aerial attack coming to an end, the ground assault began as Seth found himself being stormed by what he roughly calculated to be about 300 green and black dressed men.

Seth kicked off against the ground and charged into his incoming attackers, both red and black in his hands and saturated with qi till it leaked out of both of them, this serving to further enhance his ferocious image.

It didn't take long for Seth to storm into the approaching army, swiftly dodging a descending sword, and having red pass through its owner.

Seth easily weaved in and out of attacks, dodging every single attempt at harming him while dishing out his sure kill blows.

By the time Seth had killed off around 40 people, he realized something was wrong as so far he hadn't been confronted by anyone whom he could place at the Kaiser level.

"Surely the superior of these men knew that sending them against me was merely sending them to their deaths," Seth thought.

Seth had expected some high-tier cultivator to be mixed in with the fodders but so far he hadn't come across anyone noteworthy

"Or perhaps I'm yet to reach their location," Seth thought and increased his pace of killing.

Like ants, they came, and with ease, Seth swatted them away, he spun black which was in his right hand, and then the next second swung it to his left, a lightening slash shooting out of it and clearing about 20 people to his right.

Not taking a break, Seth charged back into the thick of the army, his ferociousness and strength beginning to make the enemy hesitate, but it wasn't long before his attention was drawn from the enemies around him and to the blue dome which was some distance away, heading towards the inner walls.

Seth thought the enemy had given up on using their catapults, but the huge burning rocks in the sir all heading for the blue dome, told him he was wrong.

The more attacks the dome defend against, the more qi it used up, and such working were so general that Seth had no doubt that the enemy had figured out how to deal with it.

Understanding that he needed to deal with the source of the problem, Seth's eyes moved to the catapults which were not too far off at this time, and not wasting a moment he kicked off in that direction, killing anything that stood in his path.

Unlike the main or outer wall of the city which had 4 gates, the inner walls possessed only a single gate, and it was at this gate where the enemies population was most intense, and yet this gate was the only way through which Seth and the people behind him could get into the city.

Initially, Seth and the crowd had been at the peripheries of the city, far out of the reach and concern of the enemy's main troops, but as they headed for the inner walls, they also moved closer to the inner city's only gate and drew nearer to the enemies main point of concentration.

With ease, Seth blew apart the opposition before him, and then his figure disappeared behind the buildings in the surroundings heading towards the catapults.

For a time, everyone lost track of Seth, the remaining enemies who Seth had left behind quickly heading back to defend the catapult while the crowd was left in a state of panic, one which Xulu was thankfully able to suppress and get the people moving.

Minutes passed, and the next time Seth was seen, he was standing atop a three-story building that looked on the not too far of position of the catapults.

Sending a bunch of weaklings, directing heavy attacks on the dome, any reasonable person in Seth's shoes would reason that he had to take out the catapults, and given the ease with which they could easily shake off the attacking enemy, they would have headed for straight for the catapults, or in other words straight for a trap.

While Seth wasn't completely sure if this was a trap, at the moment he was in a war, with no one to call an ally in the entire world, were he to make a mistake, he might just find himself visiting the underworld again, and this time it would be a permanent stay.

Standing high on the building, Seth bent down and tensed his legs, and then to the view of all the soldiers did what everyone could only describe as stupid, he jumped into the air, his form soaring over the catapults, and almost immediately to Seth's greatest surprise, his flight was greeted by mortar fire.

Seth had written off any form of advanced warfare in this era, yet here he was under the attack of what he could only describe as mortars, but he didn't have the time to think over this as he ran the risk of being shot out of the air like a bird any moment soon.

With an unworried look on his face, Seth raised his left hand, black no longer there as he now held a scroll, and then smiling down at the enemies below him, he put his qi into it and threw it down, three words leaving his mouth a second later.
