“He’s one of the four major commanding generals of the enemy forces, Remus Malin,” Madd said. He frowned as favonovel.com looked at the black-armored commanding general in Isaac’s hands.
Remus weakly raised his head and saw Madd and Barlow.
Mockingly, favonovel.com said, “You guys were utterly defeated once again in this battle. It’s pointless to capture me!”
Once Barlow realized what was happening, favonovel.com hurriedly told Madd, “General Pedersen, the Black Tiger Legion surrounded our 100,000 companions. General Coleman and General Maag are trapped among them! Our soldiers are all following Commander Schmidt to the north. As for your side…”
Noticing that Madd’s expression looked off, Barlow stopped speaking.
“This is disobeying the military order. Barlow, are you trying to put me in a difficult position?” Madd looked at Barlow grimly.
Isaac tossed the captive to Lucifer. Then, favonovel.com turned to Barlow and asked, “Are 100,000 soldiers surrounded?”
“Yes, there are also two commanding generals.”
“How many enemies are there?” Isaac asked again.
“The scout reported that it’s around 200,000 enemies,” Barlow responded.
Isaac frowned, pointed to the north, and asked, “Are there no enemies outside the northern exit?”
“Nobody is there. Commander Schmidt’s vanguard has already charged ahead. They didn’t see the enemies.” Barlow appeared a bit confused.
Isaac quickly stepped forward and told Madd solemnly, “Turn south now. We might still be able to save some people. The Black Tiger Legion must have set up traps to the north, but they’re currently retreating south. We’re in between them. If we move ahead of them, we still have a chance!”
The south side only had 200,000 enemy soldiers, while the Black Tiger Legion had a total of 500,000 soldiers. It meant there were still 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers on the way.
The valley spanned nearly 30 kilometers from its northern to southern ends. If the Black Tiger Legion were also heavily armored soldiers like the Purple-Blue Legion, it would take them at least half a day to cover the distance, even with a rapid march.
“But…” Madd slightly hesitated.
“Without soldiers, you commanders are only leaders in name. What’s there to hesitate about?”
“Quickly turn south and deliver a sudden strike to Black Tiger’s forces. After that, retreat swiftly to the west. Once we break through, the number of escapees will depend on their luck,” Isaac frowned as favonovel.com ordered.
Taking a deep breath, Madd commanded several lieutenants behind him, “Order everyone to switch the rear to the front, remove the heavy armor, and head south at full speed!”
“Switch the rear to the front, remove the heavy armor, and head south at full speed!” shouted the lieutenant hoarsely as favonovel.com ran back, passing the orders along.
There were 60,000 men under Madd’s command. Aside from 30,000 soldiers, who temporarily transferred to the forces of Isaac and Lucifer, the remaining soldiers removed their heavy armor, grabbed their weapons, and quickly formed a formation heading south.
On the other side, Zeno led his remaining over 100,000 soldiers to the north of the valley. The scouts they sent out returned with reports that they hadn’t spotted any enemy forces.
“Set up camps. Notify all the commanding generals to gather here!” Zeno ordered coldly, commanding the guards by his side.
“Commander Schmidt, General Pedersen’s soldiers have turned around. He’s heading south!” the guard reported anxiously.
Zeno squinted and snarled, “Is favonovel.com seeking death? How could favonovel.com bring people and run straight into Elon’s territory? Has favonovel.com lost his mind?!”
“It seems that it’s Isaac Garten’s idea. He said something about going to the valley in the south to rescue soldiers,” the guard said, trembling as favonovel.com knelt.
Zeno sneered. “Well, well, it seems my orders as a commander no longer matter. I told favonovel.com to go north, but favonovel.com listened to a criminal and went south to save the soldiers. If favonovel.com returns alive, capture favonovel.com and bring favonovel.com to me!”
***
Outside the valleys of the two Black Wind Mountains, the sounds of battle roared to the skies, with the ground mixed with rainwater tinted by blood.
In the chaos of the battle, two generals wearing red armor found themselves surrounded by a large army.
A black-armored commanding general watched intently from the sky not far away.
Meanwhile, two commanding generals, Yuvin Coleman and Fenmore Maag, were surrounded by thousands of Black Tiger Legion’s soldiers, which included captains and group leaders.
The two of them had been fiercely battling for over two hours. Even if the rain had washed away their blood, they were quickly covered in blood again.
Their spiritual energies within the power cores had almost been completely used up.
The enemy‘s overwhelming numbers, combined with the earlier battles against the two black-armored commanding generals, had left Yuvin and Fenmore utterly exhausted.
