Chapter 779: The forgotten general
*Baam* *Baam* *Baam*
The ships began spitting out soldiers one by one at an incredible pace. Within a few minutes, their numbers approached two million strong, and they already took up the ground battle formations!
"Advance, open those damn walls!!" A high-ranking officer shouted, part of the army began to move, and then the rest followed, all of them approaching the city quickly.
Currently, there was nothing outside the city except the 10,000 Tera Beasts that made up the energy walls with their bone crown. If that army reached them and struck them from behind, the wall would fall and the siege would be over!
"This is bad!" When Zara realized the intention of the Great Snake Empire army, she jumped from beside her father and headed towards the city immediately, perhaps she could stop them for a while.
As for Robin, he remained standing where he was. It seemed as if he did not hear Zara, but rather it seemed as if he did not see what was happening below...
His face was still fixed on the Battle of the Emperors above the city, it seemed that he was watching the battle, but his eyes were not following any specific fight... He was just absent minded.
"Advance! Advance--....!!"
The officer who stepped forward when duty called and took over the reins of the ground forces, found his head rolling on the ground next to his body.
"What's going on?! ARGHH!!"
"The shadows are moving! The shadows are moving!!"
And he was not alone, everyone who took a leadership role or wore a slightly different uniform than the rest was targeted.
There are only a few hundred of the Shadow Swords left, and among them, there are only 10 Emperors, their only mission is to increase the survival chances of the soldiers of the True Beginning Empire inside the city, but if the barrier is destroyed and the siege is lifted, everything will collapse.
If these walls fall, the enemy soldiers inside will be able to spread out freely and destroy the Great Heaven Sealing Array from below, then surround and eliminate the 15 Warlords and 250 Martial Emperors above them, and then they will unite with the rest of the other forces and launch a massive attack, or simply leave for a strategically better location for them!
So even though Robin did not issue any orders, the Shadow Swords left their duties, drew their blades, and began targeting any officer they came across.
"Stop where you are!!" Zara came charging in with unstoppable momentum
As the officer shouted a moment ago said; the energy walls were wrapping the entire city and covering an enormous area, it was not something that three huge Martial Emperors could
defend.
Within a few minutes, the three giants killed thousands of enemies, and the pathway toward the energy walls was destroyed in many ways. If it were not for the three of them, the enemy army would have already reached the energy walls and crushed the 10 thousand Terra Beasts from behind by now... However, she knew that this would not last long, The three giants were facing 2 million soldiers with experience in planetary wars!
"Haa... Haa..." She opened her eyes with difficulty, sweat seeping through them as she saw her three giants being slowly obliterated under the tide of the Snake Empire's soldiers that seemed to never end, then she sent a look back...
The battle of the Terra Legion against the soldiers of the Five Fleets is going well. The battle began with 190,000 of the Terra Legion against 340,000 soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire. Now the numbers have reached roughly 170,000 against 200,000... This means that the Terra Legion has lost 20,000 to kill 140,000 enemies!
They are fighting the forces of a planetary empire that has expanded for thousands of years, in front of them soldiers outnumbering them, armed with equipment on the same level as golden weapons and using a Minor Law from the Destruction Path... And yet they seem as if they are bullying a bunch of locals!!
What happens in the ground battle is a crushing victory for the Terra Corps, and if the battle continues, they will gain a numerical advantage very soon, and the death rate will decrease
even more.
If half of those Terra forces came out, with the support of the Three Giants and the Shadow Swords, they would be able to stop the coming tide, but the number of deaths inside and outside would be enormous.
Her father seems as if his consciousness has left his body, and Caesar and the rest inside are busy fighting life or death. There is no one but her to make this decision that will cost the lives of tens of thousands of the Terra Legion.
Zara clenched her hands tightly and looked at the ground, then shouted with determination:
"Soldiers of the--!"
*Bzzzzzztt*
But she did not finish her shout before the space was violently disturbed, twenty Instant Space Portals opened around the city at this moment.
*Baaam* *Baaam* *Baaam*
From each of them emerged a warlord, and behind him were thousands of golden armored
soldiers.
