“This is great! Are they really letting us go?” A third-class aristocratic family master was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. They were no longer hunted by the Bloodshed Clan.
Although Jack and the others broke through very quickly, so many of them had died and not many people were left. They were still no match for the Bloodshed Clan’s opponent despite having an increase of members in the First-grade ultimate god level.
Apart from that, no matter how high Jack and the others’ fighting prowess was, they would never rival the Bloodshed Clan Masters.
It was why they felt like they would die if the battle continued, and surviving was no easy feat.
However, they never expected that the Bloodshed Clan members would retreat at this moment.
“This is weird. Why did all of them retreat?” Ethan also frowned, puzzled at what had happened.
Sam thought about it and said, “No matter what it is, it’s a good thing now that they’ve retreated. It’ll be afternoon soon, and they won’t resume their assault at night if we manage to get through the afternoon. Anyway, everybody should quickly increase their fighting prowess if possible. Who knows if they’ll give up or resume their attack after their pause?”
Those who were initially relieved faltered at the thought. It was true that they would be in quite the predicament if the Bloodshed Clan members merely retreated for a rest.
“Sigh… Angus and the others truly are vexing. Didn’t they promise that they’ll go back to plead on our behalf to their people and bring the Nine Armies here to help us? Are they still members of the Alliance Guard? Why aren’t there any movements until now?!” growled a middle-aged man from the Cabello family, utterly displeased.
Helena seemed to be dismal, too. “Maybe the Bloodshed Clan is too strong. I think we can’t place all our hopes on others.”
“However, if the people of the Nine Armies don’t help us, we won’t have hopes of surviving!” An old man from one of the second-class aristocratic families had a helpless expression on his face. “The Bloodshed Clan don’t have as many people as us, and many of them must’ve died during the battle in the forest, but they have more masters in the ultimate god level. By then, we’re no match for them. Without the help of the Nine Armies, how can we fight them? It’s like we’re bound to be defeated!”
All of a sudden, one of the White family’s members exclaimed, “Look! Look! Those people from the Bloodshed Clan seem to be flying toward the direction of the Nine Armies!
“This is great! Are they going to attack the Nine Armies? Everyone, let’s sneak out of the forest from the side and leave this accursed place. By then, only the boundless sky will be our limit. If everybody leaves separately, I believe that some of us will survive!” suggested a bald man excitedly.
However, another man said, “No way. We’re not very familiar with the situation in this area, and wouldn’t it be more difficult for us to stay alive if we break into the territory of the Alliance Guard?”
One of the Wood family’s elders said, “We can’t leave now no matter what; we need to stay and wait for Young Master Jack and the others. Without them, we would’ve died a long time ago. How can we leave just like that? On top of that, Young Master Jack is a third-grade alchemist, and we’ll only survive if we follow him. We may even grow stronger!”
