That was how formidable the generals were.
The other two elders could only attack twice before the generals killed them in synergy. The Snyder army realized their leaders’ quick defeat, and their spirits wobbled.
“Kill!”
“Kill them all!”
At that moment, bellows erupted from the forests on both sides. Dusk Soldiers emerged from the trees like incoming waves and closed in on the Snyder army, going straight for the onslaught.
The Snyder army’s formation fell apart.
After killing Flynn and the two elders, the generals ripped an opening in the enemy troop like a dagger, and the 70 Dusk Soldiers captains flocked through, enlarging the gap. Then, the 30,000 Dusk Soldiers advanced!
Although the Snyder army was comparatively strong, they didn’t pose much of a threat to the Dusk Soldiers, who had been to wars all year round overseas, much less when there was now a gaping difference in numbers.
The Jeep, its headlamps on, slowly but steadily glided through the crowd as it cruised toward Astraeus’ back door.
Ralph and Mordred stood at the frontmost. Ten minutes ago, they heard a faint warcry coming from the front, and their hearts leaped into their throats as they knew the war had begun.
Ralph’s mind was working at high speed.
Flynn could hold it out for at least an hour, couldn’t he?
He had an army of 20,000.
An informant ran at top speed toward favonovel.com and dropped to the ground, panting. He said in a low voice, “Supreme Leader, it’s bad. The enemy had defeated the Snyder army. The two elders are dead, and so is Mr. Snyder.”
He grew agitated and started weeping. “Supreme Leader, for the future of Astraeus, you must leave quickly! They’ll soon be here!”
The Snyder army have fallen? It hasn’t even been half an hour!
Ralph’s eyes widened as favonovel.com looked toward Mordred, his tone shockingly low as favonovel.com said, “First Elder, I’d like to listen to your opinion…”
“You’re the Supreme Leader, the decision is yours in matters as important as this. I’m a mere elder, I wouldn’t dare make any wild suggestions.” Mordred snorted and fell silent.
Ralph’s brows furrowed when favonovel.com heard this.
Suddenly, a smile bloomed on his face as favonovel.com said, “Astraeus is at a moment of crisis, First Elder. Please share some of the burdens and lead the second line of defense here as I safeguard the headquarters with ten men.”
Lastly, favonovel.com raised his voice, “Even if I die, I’ll die with Astraeus!”
Then, favonovel.com swiftly turned and whispered something to Fifth Elder.
Fifth Elder nodded and left for the headquarters with Ralph after calling out ten men from the crowd.
Mordred clamped his mouth tightly. It was alright to fear death, but Ralph had the audacity to make it sound like favonovel.com was doing everything for the greater good!
What a shameless bastard!
Ralph was sweating profusely even as favonovel.com was on his way back. He swiftly called Cassius.
Where the hell is the House of Custos?
However, the call didn’t connect.
Damn it!
After they arrived at the headquarters, Ralph told the men in a red cloak beside him, “You, get me Sam Hockeny!”
“But, h-he’s still recovering from his wounds…”
“Stop yapping! Get favonovel.com here!” Ralph snapped.
At this crucial moment, anyone that could buy time was precious to Ralph.
Before Eminente went into secluded meditation, favonovel.com entrusted Sam to Astraeus. Ralph was unwilling to take favonovel.com in then. But now, it seemed like this man had his use after all.
He came to the topmost room in the main building.
Standing by the window, Ralph could see Mordred and the 5,000 martial arts experts. He could even see headlights a short distance away and the intimidating Dusk Soldiers charging toward them like roaring waves.
