Footsteps echoed in the previously silent wilderness as the troops began to disperse as fast as they could while still maintaining their stamina. Alex and the rest of the Crimson Abyss members stuck together as they as well made their move.
The six battalions encompassed the red zone from six different directions, splitting the entire region like a pizza pie.
The advantage of this strategy was already visible as, one after the other, the numerous groups slowly began to come across isons in their path.
These insects were far and few in between, very much scattered. Their strength was also nothing to fear.
So as per the instructions, the troops began to dispose of these insects quietly and quickly. The main purpose of this was to prevent them from sending signals to the other isons.
Especially, with the elite team at the forefront, this process went rather smoothly as several isons were put down with overwhelming brute strength.
Seeing the corpses of these insects littered around here and there, the troops at the back became elated. Their pace was awe-inspiring, and the nervousness and anxiety of the battle were slowly being replaced by a strong fighting spirit.
"Let's tear these bitches apart!"
"They came at us in millions, and that's why we were weak! Now let's make them have a taste of their own medicine!"
"Hear! Hear! Teach them a lesson!"
"Fuck the cunts!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Alex winced at the loud chants that were spreading across the forest. She had to admit that the start was quite good, but it was just the beginning.
"These people are getting too excited too fast. Sigh."
Unlike them, she knew that these isons are nothing when compared to what was waiting ahead of them. The true test for this army was yet to make an appearance.
However, that was not their problem. Their instructions were clear. Stay in the outer perimeter!
And Alex was planning to do just that!
The Crimson Abyss guild members steadily advanced forward, but at the same time, they did not reveal their full abilities.
The forest was full of eyes that were observing their each and every move. These people couldn't help but click their tongues in disappointment when they realized what was happening.
But at the same time, Crimson Abyss also did not remain idle. Soon, the group came across a territory of jungle pythons that were terrorizing the troops in front of them.
The pythons hissed loudly and used the wilderness terrain to their advantage as they attacked all the men in sight.
While some of these people were able to take out the one or two isons that came their way smoothly, like shooting down targets in the sky at a gun range, when it came to these pythons, the story was different.
"They have to be at least Level 45." Alex instantly assessed the situation. She then looked at Rey and Lan Fen, who stood next to her. The two of them nodded, and immediately a slew of attacks shot forward.
In the meantime, Shen Yue's nimble body had already reached the spot, the daggers in her hand tearing apart all the pythons that came her way. The long-range attacks had her back and made sure she was well-supported.
Alex also jumped into this fray, and soon the entire nest of pythons was completely cleared out.
The Crimson Abyss members in the back did not even have a chance to react as the front line itself absolutely decimated everything in sight, claiming all the experience points and mana cores for themselves.
With this, the strength of the guild was finally visible for others to see.
While the other guild members surrounding the area were hesitant about diving in to clear the pythons, just a few members of Crimson Abyss members stepped in and casually dealt with the whole thing.
Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but marvel at their prowess. They stopped and stared at the guild members in awe.
However, Crimson Abyss continued moving forward as if this was nothing. They simply cleared any hindrance that appeared on their path without breaking a sweat.
And with such a strong guild in their battalion, the troops at the front and the back started to push forward even more confidently. Even those who dared to bad mouth Crimson Abyss on the public forum were now secretly glad that the guild was on their battalion.
In this way, things proceeded smoothly, but not for long. Soon, as the troops advanced, the number of isons started steeply increasing. Moreover, their levels were also increasing. Now the stronger ones appeared frequently.
This considerably reduced everyone's speed as they did not see this coming. Most of the troops were promised that they would only be dealing with Level 10 or, at most, Level 20 or 25 isons, but the isons which were starting to show up were all Level 40.
Seeing this, most of the troops came to a standstill. A Level 40 ison at their stage was equivalent to a dungeon boss or perhaps an elite. So they couldn't shoot it down casually.
"And thus, the first block crumbles." Alex chuckled. She was totally enjoying this.
However, Crimson Abyss still did not remain idle. Alex charged in the front as the rest of the group split into smaller groups and handled their respective prey.
While others stood around in fear or haphazardly coordinated, Crimson Abyss excitedly charged forward, many even shouting or fighting for their share of isons.
Watching their behavior in envy, slowly, the other guilds also started gaining courage and started raiding these powerful insects. The fighting spirit of the top-tier guild made them relax a little, and they began fighting better.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Not only in battalion six but in other battalions also, similar scenes started playing out. Everyone was still full of spirit, and though the appearance of the stronger isons caught them off guard a little, they were able to recover and raid the insects.
After all, they outnumbered the isons several times, and just a little coordination was enough to get through this first hurdle.
Soon their spirits began to soar again, and the sound of the war rang loudly amidst the wilderness with magic, weapons, and bombs displaying a splendorous show.
However, these troops at the back had little idea that the main elite team had already run into the next hurdle.
Currently, the honored elite team of the army was standing in front of the next wave of mutated and evolved isons, almost all of them at Level 50 or 65, and among these isons, there were even two Level 150 Generals!
