Chapter 1411 Battle On The Sky Bridge – Part 4

As Jin, Pei and Peppers stepped out of the car, they were met with fierce resistance which Jin’s personal mage had already taken care of the current dilemma. A multilayer shield barrier had been erected which prevented their car to be wrecked into havoc from the hail of bullets. (Baal initially wanted to provide such a service but was immediately denied as the Bellator herself wished to have her powers shown clearly. Basically, she was itching to show off as well.)

The soldiers at the frontline barricade had no idea about the dreadful deaths that had happened on the rooftops of the High Command and surrounding buildings. They only assumed that these people that came forward were also soldiers that could be beaten via conventional means.

“Leave all these small scums to my men. Master, go ahead and fight the Demon Rat Generals to your fullest pleasure.” Baal signalled to his commanders and the Infamous Soldiers of Gem emerged from the hazy crowd of demons. The Sapphire Soldiers used their magic rather smoothly because of the mana compatibility left by Baal’s previous frost spell. They absorbed the surrounding mana and sent gushing water which subsequently turned into silhouettes of bulls, decimating the makeshift barricades in a matter of seconds.

But the Demon Rat soldiers were not dumb and actually used the makeshift barricades as a front for their actual iron barricades. They were filled with counter spells which were ready to dispel Sapphire Soldiers’ magical attacks. And they were indeed extremely effective in breaking the flow of battle that the Sapphire Soldiers had started. Yet, this did not falter the Soldiers of Gem as Topaz Soldiers who were well known not only for their manipulation of earth magic but also their ability to wreck stuff.

There were no other better candidates in the Soldiers of Gem to crush the iron barricades even though they know that the Demon Rats might still have some nasty tricks under their sleeves. True enough, rotating guns were seen popping out of those barricades and instead of bullets, long iron spears were being shot out from those guns, killing several Topaz Soldiers in one go.

Yet, the Topaz Battalion did not hesitate to push forth as they attempted to adapt to the situation and deployed soldiers wearing the latest set of armour developed by Jin’s Science Team. It amplified their Topaz stone by threefold, allowing them to harden themselves enough to withstand the killing blow from those rotating guns. Soon, they managed to reach to the barricades, smashing both the guns and the Demon Rats manning them.

The fight became fiercer as Troll Rats, another chimaera variant came into the picture, contesting the Topaz in the field of attrition. Yet, this stalemate allowed the other soldiers of Gem moved forth, providing the necessary firepower to stop them. The Ruby Soldiers sent lava filled punches to Troll Rats, diminishing their ability to recover while the Emerald Soldiers kept the Topaz Soldiers alive as much as possible by channelling mana to allow them to recover.

Though some of their spells were hindered by the Iron Barricades’ numerous counter spells, the soldiers were still able to put up a decent competitive edge against the Elite Demon Rats holding their ground. No doubt both sides’ ‘main protagonists’ could intervene in the fight, they could already sense who they should be fighting with.

Naturally, they thought that Baal was considered to be their main target but he was not sending out any killer vibes which made the Demon Rat Generals confused until they saw that there were three humans beside him. Thus, they assumed that those humans were the guards that protects him and they were the huddle which was required to defeat him.

But unlike the Demon Rat Generals and their misinterpreted intel, Jin was already eyeing their general who supposedly governed the entire Demon Rat population. However, before he could even make a move, the Demon Rat’s Lance General and Club General somehow popped up from the bottom of the bridge and prepared to strike Baal, thinking he was the general of this entire movement. (After all, he did look like a human if he did not change back to his demon form.)

Jin and Pei managed to block both of the General’s strikes and caught on the situation that the Demon Rats believed Baal was their main general. It was no doubt a good distraction for Jin to be seen as the lesser one rather than the main perpetrator of this entire army invasion. Pei instantly dispatched their Demon Rat Club General but eventually realised that it was a mere fake and that the Club General was actually doing a follow up attack from the Lance General in order to catch Jin off guard.

They thought it would be a sure strike when Jin was seen as defenceless as he was blocking the Lance General’s attack but everyone around him knew that he was setting up a feint as much as the Club General had prepared one.

With Bam and Boo as one greatsword blocking the lance attack, it immediately split into a scimitar and shield, allowing Jin to simultaneously parry the Club General’s strike and use his shield to slam the Lance General away. Their hopes for a one strike one kill had dissipated when they lost the element of surprise against Jin. Pei slowly walked towards Jin while both the generals jumped backwards to have some ground away from their opponents.

“Are you going to follow them? They are going to play dirty,” Pei commented as she could already predict what the two Generals were going to do.

“Can I leave their deaths to you?” Jin queried and Pei smiled ever so slightly.

“If you promised that luxurious bath package for me in that whatever mountain hot spring instance.” Pei tried to bargain.

“Oh, that top VIP package with a month’s worth of Polar Bear and Panda’s massage? Sure.” Jin didn’t expect that her conditions to fight both were easy. At the very least, he had her occupied and not a wasted trip.
