Chapter 787 - More Than One Enemy (3) (2/2)

They intend to attack?!

Everyone was baffled because they didn’t expect that Rhode would attack at such a timing. After all, not all the soldiers had the capability to leap down from the second storey easily.

Should we join them? Or should we continue defending?

Fortunately, Orchid Heart stepped forward and commanded.

“Transfer 5000 soldiers to the northern battlefront from the rear, but don’t defend with them. The rest of you stay and continue defending.”

“Transfer to the northern battlefront from the rear, but don’t defend with them?”

The commanders responsible for defense asked in astonishment. The Undead Army that attacked the southern battlefront had crumbled while Rhode led his men and retaliated. At this moment, they should transfer manpower to support the northern battlefront. After all, they were aware of their plight and knew that the Light Parliament was overwhelmed and at the brink of collapse. After hearing this piece of news, the commanders were glad and worried at the same time. They were glad that they made the right choice because Rhode skillfully defended against the enemies while the northern battlefront almost crumbled at this point. Even though they were dubious of the Magma Guards at the start, they were totally convinced by their extraordinary abilities now. No matter what they were, at least they were here to help!

What they were worried about was that the northern battlefront would crumble. Previously, they ridiculed the Light Parliament for being worthless. But now, they hoped that the Light Parliament wouldn’t be as useless as they thought because if the northern battlefront was broken through, they would also be on the suffering end!

Therefore, taking the big picture into consideration, they had to set aside the differences in their political standpoints. Moreover, they were militants and didn’t value politics as highly as the people and politicians. At this point in time, they didn’t need political correctness. All they needed was to win!

Everyone thought that Rhode had intended to transfer manpower to support the northern battlefront after he led the Magma Guards into battle. The northern battlefront was slowly crumbling and even though the magic cannons had kept most of the Undead Creatures from climbing up the city walls, the city walls were in complete chaos. If reinforcements didn’t arrive any sooner, they would be totally overwhelmed.

But now, Rhode intended to transfer 5000 soldiers, but instead of assisting the northern battlefront, he mobilized them to the rear…

Could it be that… They will be there as barrier troops?

The commanders felt shivers down their spines.

It can’t be… Is that young man so daring? In other words, if the northern battlefront crumbles, our barrier troops will also need to deal with the fleeing soldiers,

Even though the commanders knew about the grudges between Rhode and the Light Parliament, this order still sent chills down their spines. However, what if they held different opinions? It was previously mentioned that the commanding rights of the southern battlefront was handed to Rhode and since he had given the order, the commanders could only execute them. Besides, not all of them were worried. Some were secretly enjoying it because it was rare for an opportunity to threaten the Light Parliament this openly to come by. Moreover, they weren’t worried that the southern battlefront would fall anytime soon because Rhode had displayed his enormous strength where the Undead Army was eliminated by him, one after another.

The soldiers got into action while Rhode and his men had no intentions of stopping.

The Holy Maiden Statues released golden rule threads that enveloped the entire sky. Then, white beams of light bombarded the area and slaughtered the Undead Creatures who charged forward to stop Rhode and his men.

Rhode, Gillian, and Anne bolted forward. They only had one goal—to annihilate this Undead Army!

“———!”

Dark, twisted ripples emerged in midair and coalesced into razor-sharp edges that struck toward them.

“Anne!”

“Got it, Leader!”

Anne sprung up, at the same time expanding her shield like a full-blown flower to protect them.

Boom! Boom!

The sharp edges made from dark magical energy crashed into her shield before vanishing into thin air. Anne brandished her shield and the dazzling wind element flickered, blasting away dozens of Death Knights that had darted forward. Then, Gillian swayed her fluffy tail and extended her arm with a lady-like smile across her face.

“Huhuhu…”

A beam of flames erupted from the tip of her finger, devouring the Undead Creatures mercilessly. Then, she gestured and the beam of flames split into two, which formed a corridor between them. At the end of the corridor, there was a filthy, miserable-looking Necromancer who was retreating. He clutched his bone staff and erupted a black mist that shrouded himself entirely.

At this moment, Rhode unsheathed his holy sword.
