1364 The Defeat of the Vanguard (2/2)

The Yoked further behind began to make their moves as well. They began to snap their chains ahead. The tips of the chains were extremely sharp, whipping forward in parallel, followed by a howling wind!

The Summoned Beasts quickly scattered to dodge the chains. To their surprise, the chains they dodged ended up intertwining with one another behind them.

Clank!

The chains crashed into one another hard. They soon combined into an enormous net weaving through the beasts.

The Yoked roared again. Their souls seemed to have connected with one another after their prolonged labor. They pulled the chains back simultaneously, like a group of fishermen pulling in a net by the river!

The Yoked were oddly strong. The Summoned Beasts were tripped, knocked to the ground, or dragged away by the chains. The vanguard troop was in total disorder before it even reached the enemy...

”Save me, save me!”

One of the Summoned Beasts that looked like a rhinoceros was tied by the chains. Their sharp tips had stabbed into its body, dragging both it and the Summoner riding it toward the Yoked.

The rest of the Summoners were in a pinch, too. Before they had the chance to lend a hand, the Summoner was already screaming at the top of his lungs before both him and his Summoned Beast were beaten to death!

The skin of a Yoked was dry and rigid, but as sturdy as metal. As they stomped the Mage, his flesh and blood splattered across the ground.

The Brute Rhinoceros Beast had extremely thick skin and flesh, but it looked so fragile under the Yoked's bloody stomps!

The Yoked grew even more excited and deranged when fresh blood splattered under their feet. It was completely different than the worn out, pitiful, and sorrowful appearance they initially had. Perhaps it was because they were finally able to vent the grudges that had long stacked up in their hearts!

The Summoned Beasts were taken out in bulk. Their blood and liquid scattered while their flesh and bones were laid across the ground. The soldiers on the walls of the fortress could not believe their eyes. These slavish Yoked were beyond terrifying. The vanguard troop was struggling to kill even one of them!

”Retreat!” Bin Wei decisively commanded after seeing the situation.

”If they withdraw, there won't be anyone guarding the entrance!” Chang Yi said.

”Enough with the meaningless sacrifices, retreat!” Bin Wei said.

”Yes...yes Ma'am!” Chang Yi did not dare to say anything else. He immediately ordered the Summoner Troop to retreat.

The vanguard troop was meant to boost their morale, so the Northguard Fortress had invested a lot in the Summoner Troop. Who could have expected their first wave of attack to be crushed so thoroughly? Didn't that mean their Northguard Fortress didn't stand a chance at all?

How were they supposed to fight this battle?

There were more than two thousand Yoked. If killing one of them was already so difficult, could they really defend the Northguard Fortress?
