Things had already gone beyond Isaac’s expectations. The spies favonovel.com sent out hadn’t returned yet, but the Black Tiger Legion’s surprise attack had arrived ahead of schedule.
It had shifted from being proactive to being passive.
Lucifer swiftly put on his helmet and took his long sword. Surging with spiritual energy, favonovel.com strode out of the tent.
At this moment, 300,000 soldiers in the valley felt the ground shaking. It was getting stronger, almost like an earthquake.
The Purple-Blue Legion in the valley looked around. In the pitch-black night and a raging storm, the ordinary soldiers, who weren’t strong, couldn’t see what was happening in the distance.
Several waves of spiritual energies rippled outward.
Madd, along with two other commanding generals, instantly rose into the air, standing 30 feet high and surveying their surroundings.
There had been no report of enemy attack from the outposts stretching over six kilometers from the north and south ends of the valley into the Black Desert.
It indicated that the enemy forces weren’t coming from the north or south directions.
Amid the heavy rain, Barlow, who was standing in mid-air, suddenly turned to look at Black Wind Mountain on his right.
In the faint reflection brought by the raindrops, favonovel.com saw a large group of figures standing out on the mountaintop. Their figures were massive. With arched backs, they moved in groups as they descended toward the valley at the base of the mountain.
“It’s the Elephant-Tiger Beast! We’re under attack!” Barlow immediately shouted.
His roar infused with spiritual energy echoed through the stormy valley.
Thousands of Elephant-Tiger Beasts charged down from the mountairrtops on both sides, rushing in like a torrent.
The Elephant-Tiger Beast was a fierce wild beast, but it could be tamed. It was large, with a body length that could reach up to 30 feet and a height of up to 20 feet. It mainly appeared in the northwest forests of the Kingdom of Easteria.
Since both sides of the mountains were covered in thorny bushes, even well-armored soldiers would find it impossible to climb up the mountains and enter the valley.
Elephant-Tiger Beast, on the other hand, had extremely thick skin that could break through thorny bushes.
The army of the Black Tiger Legion followed behind the herd of Elephant-Tiger Beasts, which allowed them to minimize injuries from thorns and stay protected.
It required a tremendous amount of manpower and resources to transport so many Elephant-Tiger Beasts from the Kingdom of Easteria to the Black Desert.
Following closely behind those beasts, there were large groups of Black Tiger Legion’s soldiers roaring. The soldiers in their armor were densely packed and charged straight down into the valley.
Lucifer and Isaac quickly dashed out of the tent.
Upon seeing the enemy forces attacking from the mountains on both sides, Isaac squinted. As favonovel.com had predicted, the enemy came from the mountain.
Zeno’s opponent was someone favonovel.com couldn’t handle, especially in terms of tactical command.
“Isaac, what do we do now?” Lucifer asked. He was slightly out of breath, looking at Isaac.
“Don’t get caught up in the fight. Follow my lead!” Isaac darted toward the base of Black Wind Mountain on the left.
Cordero and Lachlan rapidly approached Isaac from behind. They shouted and followed favonovel.com as favonovel.com swiftly ran up the small path carved into the mountain.
Isaac turned and saw several commanding generals, including Madd, standing in mid-air. They were wielding their swords and blades, releasing powerful spiritual energies, and attacking the Elephant-Tiger Beasts at the front.
But facing thousands of Elephant-Tiger Beasts, the number they’d managed to kill didn‘t make a significant difference.
In the commander’s camp, a commanding general hurried in and announced urgently, “Commander Schmidt, they’re coming! The Black Tiger Legion is attacking!”
“I know,” Zeno responded grimly.
“Inform all soldiers to retreat north now!” favonovel.com roared, immediately charging out of the camp.
With a powerful leap, favonovel.com flew swiftly into the torrential rain pouring down from the sky.
Looking ahead, those Elephant-Tiger Beasts charged into the unprepared soldiers like massive boulders.
Screams, roars, and shouts erupted as the Purple-Blue Legion plummeted into chaos. Amid the chaos, some soldiers picked up their weapons but were instantly trampled by the Elephant-Tiger Beasts, crushing their chests or limbs before they could attack.
