51 Chapter 51: A Saints Glory 3 (1/2)

Everyone was silent, they understood the thought of retreating in the face of such a massive army, but with three small numbers they could easily outmaneuver such a large force, so was there a need for such urgency?

”Uh...Old man, what's wrong?” Kahn asked.

Lambert assembled his thoughts for a moment before giving an explanation.

”The princess has...taken action...the number is there combined armies.”

Realization dawned on the others, there faces became somewhat pale. Just who were these princes? well the answer was simple they were the worst possible opponents there was in this war. Each of them had strength greater than a grand paladin and even equal to saints. For all of them to have mobilized was a frightening prospect.

”Even so, we can easily outrun such a massive army, what's there to worry about?”

Lyeecia asked as she looked at Lambert in confusion.

”If I am correct...we are being flanked...while the main army is coming at us...they will most likely send a smaller unit to intercept us and keep us...keep us from escaping.”

Benicia became alarmed when she heard this.

”Then we'll depart immediately, Lyeecia, spread the word, were making an expedition retreat, leave anything not essential. What are you waiting for, move!”

Lyeecia immediately left, followed by Khan, when he left they could clearly hear his boisterous voice echoing over the camp.

”Pack up ya lazy bunch o' fossils, were running away so only take the important stuff, like yah diapers!”

Benicia could only sigh, while Amen smiled wryly, as they heard Kahn shout, thought crude it was effective, every veteran immediately got up and packed evrything needed, by the speed they will be ready in less than half an hour.

Benicia and Amen snapped back to attention as Lamberts voice ranged from behind the table.

”Greed... fastest demon prince...he is most likely to flank us...with his cavalry.”

”Then we will send a group to stall the approaching army and the flanking cavalry while the majority escape”

Benicia said as pain flashed in her eyes at the thought of sacrificing some of there members. Amen could only close his eyes when he heard her, he could not deny that that was most likely there the only choice.

”I will be among the intercepting members.” Amen declared as he opened his eyes in resolution, he was no cowered, none of them were. He will fight for the lives of the rest of his brothers to the best of his capability and even sacrifice his life if needed.

”That...will not be needed”

Lambert spoke as he drew their attention, Benicia looked at him hoping he had a better alternative.

”I... will face the approaching army...should be able to stall them for some time...Benicia...”

”Absolutely not!!!”

Benicia interrupted lambert as she yelled, a clear distraught in her eyes as she thought of lambert facing an army of over a hundred thousand by himself.

”Lord Saint, there is no need for you to sacrifice yourself, we brothers and sisters are enough!” Amen spoke hurriedly as he could not hide his anxiety. Lambert was their pillar, they could not lose him no matter what.

”An do what...look as they sacrifice there lives for an old...caught*...old man half a foot in the grave!”

Caught*Caught*Caught*Caught*Caught*Caught*

Lambert yelled in anger before breaking out in a coughing fit, shaking both Amin and Benicia not expecting him to become so angry.

Benicia stepped forward to help the coughing Lambert but he raised his hand causing her to stop in her tracks, after some more time he finally composed himself as he looked at Benicia and Amen with a strick look.
