Chapter 1059 - Block the Enemy’s Retreat & Mop Them up (1/2)
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deep, thunderous explosions boomed in the forest. The dazzling white radiance flashed, linking up instantly. The ground shook in fear, while trees flew up before crashing back down to the ground. Then, hurricanes came one after another, rising from the ground recklessly and ripping through the mountain ranges in the distance. The land groaned as it fissured in blazes.
Rhode stood above a hill in the distance, gazing at the battle happening below. The corners of his lips perked up into an ice-cold smile. Marlene stood beside him, sternly observing the battle.
“Ion, that scoundrel, sure is sly; he sends out only a few of them, but they are all elites. Hmph. Fair enough, this time I will make him suffer. I shall see whether this damn b*stard dares to mess with me again!”
Even though Rhode said with a relaxed smile, his words were filled with deep murderous intent. He learned from Alice that this time, Ashvril brought along 50 dark knights, while Balende was more cautious to bring along 200 high-level death knights. However, they weren’t here for a frontal confrontation with Rhode as Ashvril and Balende didn’t expect Rhode to be waiting for their arrival, with a trap set up for them!
In fact, with Rhode’s current strength, he wouldn’t break a sweat eradicating both of them. However, he couldn’t do that because he was neither a guild leader nor overlord now; he was a Creator Dragon. Back then, he was personally needed in battle to fight for the world. But it was different now. The battle against the Country of Darkness wasn’t as simple as a mafia boss leading his men into the battlefield because Rhode wanted to display the might of his subordinates to the Country of Darkness and warn Ion to not act recklessly. If he were to join the battle, wouldn’t it be the same as him telling Ion that he had useless troops who needed his help to clear up the mess?
It was due to this reason that Rhode didn’t summon his card spirits. On the contrary, he sent out his three strongest subordinates to shamelessly besiege the legendary generals. Not only that, but also just in case, he readied Marlene by the side. Due to the rich experience the four legendary generals possessed, Rhode was also considering sending Christie into battle. Once three of the six Deity Wardens gathered, he would see how the legendary generals retaliated.
But for now, it was enough.
Alice was in charge of taking down Balende, while Mini Bubble Gum and Canary dealt with Ashvril. Balende was as though rock-hard, stiff bones who couldn’t be gnawed at. Rhode used this opportunity to check out the differences in strength between the Deity Wardens and legendary generals. Ashvril was different as her strength was greatly weakened. It was mentioned earlier that Ashvril didn’t rely on her strength to ascend the throne. Instead, she mostly focused on conspiracies and group attacks to overthrow the predecessor and wasn’t adept at frontal battles. On the other hand, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary were the aggressive type of attackers, which totally restrained Ashvril’s moves. In the game, a 10-man party was required to take down Ashvril, but that was in the game, after all. In reality, Rhode refused to believe that this Blood Countess had 1 million health points as it just wouldn’t make sense.
If Mini Bubble Gum and Canary couldn’t take Ashvril down, Marlene could jump into battle as reinforcement at any time. With two of the six Deity Wardens here, even Ion would have to tuck tail and run back to where he came from. Rhode made up his mind determinedly this time; he would cripple and frighten the Country of Darkness. The best-case scenario would be to leave Ion flustered and let him have a heart attack! Ashvril must die. It would be better if Balende could be killed too as the Country of Darkness’s army relied mostly on him. If Rhode could eradicate him, he guaranteed that he would be in the mood for a novel, milk tea, and desserts first before deciding whether he should attack or defend against millions of undead creatures…
In fact, Rhode was surprised when he first saw Balende here as he only expected Ashvril. Rhode had never considered this calm, steady man to be here. He never thought of the possibilities of other legendary generals partnering up with Ashvril. The reason was simple. Garcia was a cautious and meticulous human like a maiden who had little contact with the outside world. On the other hand, Charlie had no interest in anything other than war, so not even Ashvril begging him for help would work. Also, Balende was the commander of three armies, so how could he possibly show up so effortlessly? However, Rhode wasn’t worried as he had initially sent out Alice as an insurance. And now, since he had such great targets for battle, he would regret it if he didn’t show them his power!
Give them hell!
