Lord of the Truth

Chapter 434 A Challenge

Seven days after Robin's fall...

The few days after the second wave of attacks by the army of white humanoids did not witness any peace, nor did it witness any large-scale battles either...

The ground hordes standing still in front of the wall nor the rapid retreat of the saints and sages lasted long. Under their blank-eyed superiors, the white humanoid army advanced again, but with greater caution this time.

It was clear that the blank-eyed white humanoid creatures tried a lot to motivate the ground hordes to get over the wall, and indeed some of them did it under pressure and began to climb, but all of them fell to the ground again without full bodies, adding to the terror within the ground hordes as they looked at the Golden Battalion members at the top of the wall in awe...

Therefore, the first few rows of the ground hordes began searching in the wall for any loophole that they could exploit to pass it, or for a weak point that they could attack and make a hole using it...

A blank-eyed white humanoid even began to gather those at the top of the Knighthood domain and make them attack certain areas in the wall to weaken it.. but to no avail.

These desperate attempts became a kind of entertainment for the Burton family saints who were busy betting on what would happen next and which spot they would attack, or whether some new fool would try to climb the wall...

But the officials among them furrowed their eyebrows... The movements of white humanoids currently have become completely normal, and it can even be said that they are experienced in wars and how to bring down defenses. They weren't bad at this, The wall designed by His Excellency Rubin was just a very harsh test for them, the original wall in designed to receive an Emperor level attack with ease, even if this one is the weaker version, it is still not something a top-level Sage can take down easily, much less a few knights!

How could such an experienced army be afraid?

It was very clear from their eyes that they were remembering the events of the previous battle that lasted for hours... the battle in which a handful of the Golden Battalion personnel died after taking down millions of them!

From fearless idiots to terrified veterans... The change is too fast and too big!

The second strange thing is that when one of the saints targeted one of the blank-eyed white humanoids below and thoughtfully killed him...  Another random individual from among the white human creatures turned fierce, his pupils disappeared, and he took a leading spot in the front rows as if nothing had happened.

This process was repeated and thousands of blank-eyed humanoids were hunted, but they always reappeared. It was found that there are always 327 blank-eyed humanoids lurking among the ground hordes, no matter how many of them were killed they will always reappear.

The strangest thing is that the rest of the white humanoid creatures would obey the new blank-eyed humanoid as if nothing happened...

A minute ago your comrade is next to you just trying to survive and a second later he's your boss who will tell you to advance and kill yourself in battle... This scene amused the Burton saints a lot actually and started placing bets on where would the next blank-eyed humanoid appear before they kill him again.

But of course, the entertainment did not stop them from reporting all these important events and observations immediately to the generals and to the second commander-in-chief, Jabba.

As for the Saints and Sages of the white human creatures, they were even more careful... Some of them would advance once in a while to hurl some precision attacks at separate areas of the Energy Protection Dome's array to test it out and then flee back quickly before the dome sent back the attacks or before the Sages of the Wind Force fired black arrows at them.

The powerful new defenses that protected the hill, along with the awe of white humanoid creatures and the restoration of their natural fear of death as living creatures, made life easier for Jabba and the Golden Battalion greatly

Even with more than double their previous number, the threat was halved!

The battle this time was not a quarter of the intensity of the first, although it continued for several days. Rather, it can be said that this was not a battle in the first place!

Although the siege around the hill was so tight that even an ant could not get out or enter the hill, life on top of the hill was actually very relaxed…

With so much food in their Space Rings and so many seeds that life forces could turn into fruit trees, no one feared starving to death.

*The battle* was taking place and the siege was intensifying, but on top of the hill, the youths were busy treating the six thousand sages, preparing food, and playing betting games!

Of course, not everyone was so lucky... Elizabeth and the Plant Forces were still suffering badly because there is no array to protect them from underground attacks, it can be said that the Plant Forces are the only ones at war right now.

But even the pressure on them was not that severe, after all, no saint or sage of the enemies dared to get too close to the dome to enter the appropriate range of attack...

...Ten days after Robin's fall...

Half of the ground hordes of the humanoid white creatures retreated and hurried in a northwest direction.

When Jabba heard the report, he was about to order an investigation of the situation, but then an even stranger report came to him...

On that same day, the sixty thousand Saints and Sages of the humanoid white creatures appeared together and stood at a safe distance from the hill, then sent ten Saints near the Energy Protection Dome Array.

Those ten saints started shouting and making a few gestures with their hands… Sign language could be said to be universal, everyone up the hill quickly understood that these ten people were asking for a challenge.

"This is obviously a trap, we can't send our men out of the Energy Protection Dome Array!" Old Gu spoke with knotted eyebrows, " Most likely they just want to kill a few saints from our side to boost their confidence."

"kill a few saints from our side to boost their confidence? I don't think so, they already killed more than a thousand from our side... but I agree with Old Gu, we should ignore them." Victoria nodded and said coldly

"Maybe they want to keep up busy to forget about their group troops' withdrawal? maybe they don't want us to attack them as they retreat..." Elizabeth added

Hearing this, Jabba remained silent for a long time as he looked up, and then finally said, gesturing at Caesar, "Let us follow along with them for now."

Caesar nodded and immediately selected ten of the Burton family's saints and sent them to accept the challenge...

But he had no time to stand up and watch what was going on.

At this moment, someone came to tell him that His Excellency Robin had woken up...
