Chapter 1285 - How Did They Get There?

Roan glanced at her and said in response, "I'm just making an observation. You're the one in command, so the success of this attack depends on your directions during the charge. It's still up in the air whether you can achieve the desired result or not."

"Oh-ho~! Could it be that you are confident you can do that?" Tixa asked in response.

Roan nodded, telling her, "I can, but it won't give me any War Points, so why the fuck should I care."

Tixa's mouth twitched when she heard that. 'I swear I'm gonna give this guy a beating after we go back. I'm the captain, for fuck's sake!' Of course, her pride didn't let her show her thoughts on the surface.

Suddenly, the Vigal Army changed as the right wing commanders gave the orders for a stronger assault. Tixa knew that it was about time for them to act as she watched the spear holding cultivators. Sure enough, to stop the Vigal Army's momentum from the right wing, the spear group was called to flank them from the side. 'Now!'

Tixa and everyone else immediately charged out of their concealment, aiming at the army in the distance. The commanders of the Jesvo Army's left wing noticed that and tried to fill up the gap left behind by the spear group.

"Send the Earth Element regiments to fill up the gap! Quickly!"

"We can't! They're busy defending the attacks of the enemy's right wing!"

"Then bring the ranged group from the back to stop them!"

"But... they'll definitely suffer heavy losses if they have to battle from close range."

"It is still better than letting those guys pierce through our defense. Just do as I say!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tixa's division moved very quickly. In fact, they even caught the enemy off guard. However, the enemy's commander was obviously experienced to have used the only division that could fill the gap in time, even if it was a division awfully suited for the job. He understood that the heart of their left wing's defense took priority.

Tixa didn't panic, though. Things could always go differently from what was planned, and she had to deal with it. Besides... she looked at Roan and remembered his words. For some reason, she felt like she had to prove herself in front of this guy, even though he was much weaker and younger than her.

'Groups 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, you have the highest attack power, so you take the front. For groups 35 to 63, give them support with your ranged abilities. The rest of you will protect the attacking group so that they won't waste their energy to defend themselves against the enemy's ranged attacks.'

Those streams of orders came in just a second through Divine Sense, and everyone acted accordingly. This was still a division formed not long ago, so they were far from being perfect. Nevertheless, the basic training Roan and everyone else received before joining the battlefield showed its results. At the very least, they weren't out of control.

Roan pondered in silence for a bit as he was the leader of the third group. He could tell which of the ranged attackers on the enemy's group were at the Elemental Transformation Realm because of his Divine Sense bending skill, so he decided on his method of action. 'All of you, we're charging through the right corner. I don't care what you all do. Just make sure you don't leave the range of my Death World. You'll be able to see while you're there while the enemies won't. Don't say I didn't do anything to help keep you alive.'

Roan's 49 companions were taken aback, and some even became angry as they could see that the right corner wasn't being targeted. Didn't that mean they were throwing themselves into their deaths? Roan understood what they were thinking, though. 'Trust me. If you head anywhere else, your chances of dying are much higher. You have no idea of what I'm capable of.' Roan obviously hadn't shown his Death World yet, so it made sense his group didn't understand it.

It wasn't that Roan wanted to take care of them. He already made it very clear before that he only cared about War Points. However, having that many people in his Death World would help conceal his own movements when he attacked his targets. If his group had a higher chance of surviving because of that, then so be it.

Tixa noticed how Roan's group suddenly detached themselves from the division. 'Where the hell are you going?! You're going to get killed!'

Roan snorted in response, saying, 'This is my group, so I'll lead them the way I see fit.'

'And I'm your commander, so obey me. Come back and regroup with the division right now!' Tixa answered in response.

Roan completely ignored her, though. 'You can complain about me after the battle. You just focus on your battle while I do mine.'

'Fuck!' Tixa made a mental note that she would definitely have Roan expelled from the army after they came back. Of course, that was considering he would come back at all. From the way she saw things play out, she doubted she would survive. 'Everyone, ignore the idiots moving away and focus on breaking through!'

*Bam!*

Tixa's group clashed against the Jesvo Army's ranged offensive. Sure enough, they weren't good at close combat, and they had their own army behind them, making it hard for them to maneuver. With that, hundreds of enemies fell for Tixa's assault.

However, that's where her momentum stopped. Her forces definitely had the advantage and could force their way through. It's just that it would cost many of her division's lives. If it continued like that, she wouldn't have enough people to open a gap in the left wing's defense. 'I need a weak point.'

She quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the place to pass through. Eventually, she found a good gap and redirected her division. 'Main attacking group, charge 70 degrees to the left and force your way through!'

'Yes!'

She really was experienced with such situations. Her orders immediately broke that stalemate, and the charge resumed. However, she underestimated the enemy's commander too much.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, many of her rear group cultivators were assaulted by another enemy group, catching her off guard. 'How did they get there?!'
