1125 The Asura God Clan Suffered Defeat, Was It?
BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!
Back to back rounds of cannonballs wrecked the army of devils, making them halt and focus their attention on the fortress walls.
"Unleash the artillery!" The main commander of the army on a mutant flying dragon yelled out loud from the far back. With ear piercing whooshing sounds, a thousand catapults sent balls of fire at the fortress walls.
The impact caused cracks and tremors in the walls and threw the personnel on it off balance. The morale of the charging devils were at an all time high after this, and expecting a momentary pause on the humans' side, they roared and ran to break the fortress walls. "Idiots." The soft voice of a woman said. She was the very lady with amethyst eyes, disguising herself as a man in the human fortress. With the slap on the cannon beside, a gurgling sound was produced, followed by a loud woosh as a large net was shot at the army. The net expanded in midair. By the time it landed, it was wide enough to capture a thousand devils. The lady put her mask on and disguised herself as the stoic commander from before. It was just in time, as the soldier returned shortly after and watched the huge net cast in the sky to fall down flat on the ground, trapping many devils.
In a fit of panic, the devils used every means they could to burn the net, the flames of which were reflected clearly in the soldier's eyes as he watched them. "Commander... commander look!" The soldier shouted, not knowing that it was this very commander who did it.
In the span of a few minutes, the battle which hadn't even begun yet was over. The devil army stopped in their tracks and contemplated whether to continue or not after being struck so hard.
As they checked the damages, they realized continuing further would be a meaningless risk as the chances of getting wiped out were sky high.
The commander of the army shouted to retreat and they slowly fell back, baffling the humans on the fortress. How did this happen? Did they really have the tools to cause such attacks? The humans had no clue and were in panic.
A few cannonballs and a net shouldn't have caused such damage to the mighty army. Those guys should've had means to defend against these, then why weren't they able to?
The same questions were asked by the soldier to the stoic commander in the cannon chamber. The commander replied in a serious and overbearing tone, "Some questions are better left unanswered."
Lith sipped tea calmly once again. He placed the cup down and looked at Yan. "The Asura God Clan suffered defeat, was it?"
Yan put the scroll down and nodded her head. "Seems to be the case, young master."
"It's quite suspicious, don't you think?" "It definitely is." Yi interjected. "How can such a big clan lose to a puny world's forces like that?"
"I agree too." Yan added. "Our own sect won't take much time to conquer that world if we tried."
The Asura God Clan ranked second while the Qing Mei Sect was right below them. Yi and Yan were well aware of their strengths and wouldn't say things out of thin air.
"Perhaps, some other forces are at play?" Qingshan, sitting around the table, said calmly. "Could be. But the Silent Nightmare did not mention them, which would mean there weren't any at the time of battle." Yan replied. Lith held the teacup again and took a sip. A few thoughts flashed in his mind as the refreshing warm tea flowed down his throat. He placed the cup down and looked at Yan.
"Roll the details of the main family members."
Yan nodded and read the details out loud. After a few minutes, Lith rubbed his chin and said, "Three Supreme Ranks..."
Yan shook her head and said, "It's going to be difficult if we face them at this stage. They will be coming with their personal armies."
"Hm. In that case..."
