Chapter 1337 We'd Better Retreat

Upon learning that the defensive line in both directions had fallen, Jill withdrew the Phoenix Master Clan's troops right away.

"Matriarch, I don't think we can hold on much longer. We must retreat," an elder of the Phoenix Master Clan advised in all honesty.

Jill shared the same serious look on her face. Ever since the Phoenix Master Clan was established, it housed its base at the Phoenix Cloud Mountain. But, as the matriarch of the clan, she had a hard time deciding if she should give up and retreat. That was because once they withdrew their force from the Phoenix Cloud Mountain, they would become homeless. Moreover, they could even be chased and intercepted.

On the other hand, she also understood that if they continued to fight like this, they would eventually be at a disadvantage. After weighing her options, she realized that if they wanted to keep the foundation of the Phoenix Master Clan, retreat was the only way around this whole fiasco.

Not long after giving it some thought, she finally ordered her people to retreat. Then, she gathered the Phoenix Master Clan troops at the other defensive lines and commanded them to head to the southeast defensive line to prepare to break out. In addition, she ordered one of her men to take out the Demonic Soul Cauldron in the forbidden area.

However, Alston had already figured out Jill's plan as he assumed his personal command. With that being said, Alston raised the Dark King Mace in his hand as he led five hundred elite spiritual race members, aiming to block the clan's path of escape.

The Phoenix Master Clan had no time to think of what to do next. All they knew was that they needed to break out despite being surrounded by powerful forces and heavy weapons.

Not long after, under Jill's leadership, the army of three thousand members suddenly broke out of the defensive line and rushed at Alston's elite spiritual race team at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, a fierce war was about to begin between the two groups!

Unfortunately, the Phoenix Master Clan's efforts seemed to be in vain as they failed to break the force surrounding them. Instead of pushing through the barrier, they were beaten black and blue by the elite spiritual race, rendering more than a hundred casualties on their team.

While this happened, several forces of the Glory Army also came to surround them from different directions. Without a doubt, the Phoenix Master Clan was in a stage of siege.

"Matriarch, what do we do?

thirty thousand soldiers.

However, as soon as they met, a group from the Glory Army entrapped them.

Luckily, with the support of the human spirit manipulators and nearly a thousand members of the Phoenix Master Clan together, it didn't take long for them to break out of the barricade and meet with the fifty thousand armies who were waiting for support in the back.

"Matriarch Jill!" Felicia exclaimed the moment she saw Jill in one piece.

"Well done! Thank you. Did you invite them here?" Jill turned her gaze to Felicia and Bryant.

"I know that the Magic Phoenix Empire can't provide much support to our clan alone, so I sent Erica a message and asked her to tell General Marcia about the whole situation. To be honest, I didn't expect that she would really bring this much support..." Felicia remarked.

"I'm sorry but this is not the right time for chitchat. We should divide into three groups and retreat in three different directions according to the plan. In this way, we will surely be able to separate our pursuers..." Bryant stepped forward and suggested.

Soon after, Jill immediately arranged her people according to the plan. She asked the old, weak women and children of the Phoenix Master Clan to join in the first retreat army. Next, she arranged her injured members to be taken out of the field. Finally, only she, several elders, and some elite soldiers led by the spiritual masters were left.

"General Lance, lead the left army to the west first," Bryant commanded.

"All right." Lance nodded. Then, he quickly led the left army to protect the old, weak women and children of the Phoenix Master Clan to retreat to the west.
