Chapter 574 Lt Was Not 4v8, It Was 4v9! No, Lt Was 3v9 Now!'
Chapter 574 Lt Was Not 4v8, It Was 4v9! No, Lt Was 3v9 Now!'
"Huh? How great can it b-"
General Fredgelord was about to laugh, however,
"We are fucked…"
Fredgelord couldn't help but comment.
"How do they have 7 King Stage Cultivators!"
Marcus shouted in fear.
"I heard that the Woods would be receiving help from the Skyfall Kingdom, but did the Skyfall Kingdom really send King Stage Cultivators as reinforcement?" Lexus, the fourth General questioned.
"W-We need to retreat!"
Marcus spoke.
He then quickly turned around and noticed that they were too far from the Gate.
Not only that, but the Woods Soldiers suddenly divided into two groups and started circling around them.
"Surround them all!"
Laurence shouted.
*Steps* *Steps* *Steps*
At the same time, Marcus and the other Generals heard some steps.
They turned around and saw 10,000 soldiers standing behind them, not only that, but the man who stood in front of these soldiers was also a King Stage Cultivator!
General Vidyut!
"8 King Stage Cultivators!"
"W-Where did they come from?"
Marcus questioned.
Lexus's eyes suddenly widened,
"T-Those houses!
We completely ignored them in order to chase the soldiers.
It was a trap!"
Lexus shouted out loud.
The Generals' faces turned solemn.
Marcus, the oldest of them all quickly calmed himself and started analyzing.
"There are 8 King Stage Cultivators in the enemy team, however, if we think about it, the enemy only has 15,000 soldiers, which is less than us, not to mention that they are weaker than our soldiers.
If we hold our own against these 8 Cultivators for a while, our soldiers would soon defeat their soldiers and we could gang up on these Cultivators.
In the end, the reinforcement from the Skyfall Kingdom would never risk their lives for the Woods and would back away.
So if w-"
*Whoosh*
*Shot*
*Bam*
*Burst*
While Marcus was analyzing the situation and trying to find a way out, Armando quickly launched into the air.
The Firecracker burst into red color, however, before it could even fade away, Armando released 2 more firecrackers into the air.
Seeing that, Marcus's eyes widened in surprise.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
He questioned in anger.
"Can't you see!? I am calling for our reinforcement! Do you think we can fight against 8 King Stage Cultivators all by ourselves!?"
"But-"
"No buts! We will use all our strength, an 8v7 would a lot easier than 8v4 and with 10,000 additional soldiers, the other soldiers would have an easy time as well."
Armando repeated.
The firecrackers he fired were an emergency signal and not the normal one, but the one that depicts the highest degree of emergency.
It was only used when an army was predicted to see a certain annihilation.
When the 3 King Stage Cultivators left on stand-by see this, they would quickly bring the rest of the men, and this time, they would not travel with the army on their mounts, rather, they would rush here with their maximum speed.
"Can't you see!? A certain annihilation is not guaranteed yet!" Marcus shouted.
"Don't be ridiculous!
If you want to die, go ahead, I am not planning to do that." Armando shouted.
"I agree with Armando." Lexus nodded as well.
"Yes, rather than depending on these useless soldiers, I would rather go all out against these 8 Bastards!" Fredgelord laughed as well.
"…" Marcus didn't know what to say.
However, in the end, he just sighed.
The signal was already sent.
There was no point in arguing about it.
'Anyways, Armando would be the one taking responsibility.'
Marcus thought inwardly and shrugged.
On the other hand, the man he was thinking about was looking at the enemy King Stage Cultivator and,
'They would be here soon, My Ladies.'
'You did well, Armando.' Amaya nodded.
'I can't believe these fools have wasted 5 minutes talking to each other. Is that really what war feels like? Why do I feel like it is a debate competition?' Allura couldn't help but commend.
'They are all fools, if we weren't waiting for those last 3 pieces of trash, we would have attacked them by now.' Ember commented.
'Yes, the more time they waste, the better.' Felberta nodded as well.
However, as if he heard what she said, Marcus shouted.
"Solid Earth Soldiers! No need to fear! The reinforcement will arrive soon! No matter how much they plan, these bastards would never best us!
Use Formation O, trust your back to your fellow soldier and hold on until the reinforcement arrives!
For the Victory!"
"FOR THE VICTORY!!!"
The Soldi Earth Soldiers quickly formed a 4 layer circle, 2 layers carried spears, and the other 2 layers carried Large Shields.
Their intentions were clear, they would act like a turtle till the reinforcement arrives.
"For the victo-!!!"
General Marcus was about to shout to raise the soldiers' morale again, but suddenly,
His eyes widened in surprise as a dagger pierced through his neck.
*Pierce*
"Akkcckk!!"
The General tried to say something but, suddenly, his vision turned upside down and he realized.
He was beheaded.
Soon, his head fell on the ground.
"Neeeiggghhh!!"
The Horse-like-beast that he was riding on neighed as its master was killed just like that.
With whatever power he was left with, Marcus tried to see who killed him, however, with his body detached, the only thing he could still move were his eyes, which couldn't see behind him no matter how hard he tried.
The other Generals widened their eyes in shock as they noticed a masked woman, wearing purple-black clothes, similar to what other King Stage Cultivators were wearing, standing near Marcus's headless corpse with an expressionless look on her face.
Soon, the woman turned towards the other 3 Generals and questioned,
"Are you sure you should be looking at me right now?"
The Generals' eyes widened even more, their weapons quickly appeared in their hands and,
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
They defended against the 7 Cultivators who just attacked them.
'T-They had another King Stage Cultivator!'
The Generals couldn't help but curse inwardly.
'It was not 4v8, it was 4v9!
No, It was 3v9 now!'
The Generals trembled in fear as they wished for the backup to arrive as soon as possible.
