Chapter 175 - 170: Trap! (1/2)
Few minute later.
The blood wigg had far outrun the disorganised group of beastmen who were in chase and reached the target place as planned.
” We are piercing straight into their fort wit... ”
General who had brought his men near the fortress gates was startled thoroughly.
The fortress gates were opening wide and a unit of hundred half step emperor powerhouses in heavy armour had welcomed them and quickly flown behind the blood wigg group to stall the beastmen army!
Stop!
Initially the blood wigg army was prepared to fight them, but general waved his hands and signalled his troops to stop with it, as he knew that this unit of powerhouses were dispatched by his ally who must be here to receive them.
The blood wigg army then moved in, reached the core of fortress only to be startled by the looking at two floating figures whom very few were familiar with.
” Lord Mark! Miss Wendy! ”
How come they are able to float freely into enemy lands? As far as i know, werent there half step transcendent existences present inside the fort?
Still there was no time to satisfy his curiosity as he needs to make preparations for incomming battle quick!
The officers and higher commanding personnel who identified him had given a salute before exclaiming.
” Lord, every thing had been executed as planned, could we really defeat their army after luring them in? We mean, They outnumbered us by dozen times! And this is their own grounds, so... ”
The tanned vice general who fought ferocious since the beginning had asked Mark.
” Haha! You're Atkin right? ”
Mark exclaimed out with a mild laughter.
” Yes this humble one is named Atkin, It's an honor for lord mark to remember this one's name! ”
Looking at Atkin who gave an Knight salute, Mark smiled a bit before exclaiming
” 40 thousand... Good! Good! I never expected you blood wigg to eliminate twenty thousand by yourself, I'll remember it, I'll remember it! ”
” Wendy, add this into their list of achievements, we should reward the worthy for their efforts right? ”
Wendy gave a nod, before summoning a book and noted it down.
Reward?
Achievements?
We probably need to survive before for them right?
Looking at the two who were totally acting out the scene, as if they could control the life and death of one's in this fortress, the common soldiers of Blood wigg were becomming more and more confused as to who these two lords were.
Officers and even their general were acting humble before these two, let alone them the common solders who didn't want to get bad impression from them.
The enemy soldiers had returned back to their fortress, rushing to the core to surround their invaders from all sides.
The soldiers of orange rank bases felt a bit amass as the blood wigg soldiers had safely entered the fortress core region without even losing a single one from their army.
One should know that the fortress was not left completely deserted for blood wigg to enter in.
Five terrifying old monster, their leaders, amd vices, had stayed behind in case some unexpected things were to took place.
The orange rank base soldiers were able to see an unexpected situation yet their leaders were no where to see.
They didn't rush in to attack the blood wigg army on sight, but waited enough for their comerads to enter in and surround the blood wigg from all sides to prevent them from escaping out their clutches for an another time.
They didn't want to underestimate this blood wigg, as the previous time had made them pay heavily by losing a third of their army.
On the side of Mark, the blood wigg soldiers were getting anxious with passing seconds, rows and rows of enemies were surrounding them from all sides.
Though they weren't getting afraid of being killed, they were afraid of getting killed without any greater cause.
Yet not only was blood wigg able to pass through them, they were even able to bring down a third, which itself was an achievement honoring the deaths of fallen.
But looking at the present situation they were trapped like a rat from all sides, waiting for their eventual fate which was about to befall them.
They weren't able to understand why their general would command them to enter enemy base and let them get surrounded from all sides.
Looking at the enemy numbers which were surrounding them from all sides like a giant vortex, which was about to devour them bit my bit, they clenched their weapons waiting for their general to give command to break through this encirclement.
Just when the soldiers were about ask their general to give command, six old commanders of enemies had stepped forward, gazing at the blood wigg army before yelling.
” You win humble humans, surrender peacefully, our leaders might atleast pardon your people inside your palace! ”
The commanders knew that their army could wipe the blood wigg, yet the fact that heavy casualties ensured in that fateful battle be any thing but less, and they might inturn lose multiple numbers crippling the strength of their own army by a large number.
One had to know that the initial army of hundred thousand were strong, yet their underestimated enemy had annihilated more than half their numbers, which itself was a major blow to their strength.
And the blood wigg army which were dozen times lesser than their numbers had created a miracle, annihilated a third of their force which created the term called fear in their hearts.
Though an eventual battle between these both might result in their victory, the loss they might have to bear wouldn't be less and who knows this crazy blood wigg might bring down yet an another twenty thousand before they get annihilated?
The old commanders of orange rank base weren't fools, yet they were not able to understand why this blood wigg army would choose to run into their fortress after breaking through their ranks?
Either the blood wigg must have complete confidence to face their force or either want to surrender to them but show out their might to get a good position while negotiating.
But if they were to ask them to pardon their princess, the negotiating is long over from then, and the end result would be ”war”
But the commanders were surprised when a little boy floating in air had answered them with the same proposal but added a fuel to it which made them fume out in fit of rage.
The blood wigg had no intention of surrendering from the beginning!
” Humble beastmen you won, surrender peacefully atleast you would be able to have an intact corpse to be buried along with the fort!
If not you might suffer a fate to serve this lord even after your deaths! ”
Looking at the arrogant self of mark, Who was asking the enemies to die peacefully, the blood wigg soldiers had roared out excitedly, cause this unknown lords were willing to fight with them against their enemies.
Judging by their aura which were no weaker than their general they became ecstatic as their chance to putting a fight against the overwhelming army had increased!
” Arrogant bug! Your arrogance will be paid with your life! ”
Shortly following it, the commanders of enemy forces ordered their soldiers to charge in.
Since battle was inevitable why not be the first one to strike down to gain a tactical advantage?
The orders of these commanders could be self explainable.
Right when the enemies were charging in, Mark raised his hand, signalling the blood wigg general to get ready.
He then signaled Wendy to thrown in a surprise for the invaders which caused their charge to pummel at a rapid rate.
Three, five meters long wooden log were sent over the enemies side.
They weren't inscribed with restrictive formation, nor were there any presence of suppressive artifacts over them!
What caused the enemy charge to pummel were the bodies which were chained over them.
Three extremely familiar bodies, with half ripped limbs, torn vocals and broken back!
Though the blood wigg army were unable to understand what's the matter with these bodies, but looking at the despairing shock expression from enemy side, these bodies should definitely belong to a high ranked personnel amongst them.
One anxious enemy commander couldn't help but yell ” lord Omir! ” which caused his soldiers to be shock ridden to be frozen in spot!
