Chapter 496 - 475 First Update
As all the monsters swept in like a fierce storm, everyone froze on the spot, even seasoned veterans such as General Ling were stupefied by such a scene.
And in that moment of stupefaction, the outcome of this slaughter was already sealed, with even the wind carrying a brutal, desolate chill.
During that brief pause, hordes of monsters had already leaped toward all the soldiers on the ice.
After such a long period of combat, more people suddenly felt a sense of relief welling up within them.
General Ling instinctively wanted to resist, just then, when the monsters overwhelmed the sky as if to devour everything, the man felt fear for the first time, his hand trembling with the knife, he took a step back, clenched his teeth, death was inevitable either way...
"Break out——" General Ling bellowed, from the start till now, their decisions were no longer about right or wrong, as under the overwhelming power, right and wrong became laughably trivial.
"Charge——" At the brink of life and death, the last bit of courage in some soldiers was ignited, following the man at the forefront they charged forward, and in an instant, half the soldiers turned into ash, flames reaching for the sky, a foul stench, a dark expanse of ice, and numerous strands of dark red smoke that barely escaped, dancing in the air.
"General, this way——" Qin Liang swept away an approaching monster with his Golden Whip and shouted loudly, their ranks were already encircled by countless monsters, blotting out the sun.
An hour later, the team was scattered with only half of the people remaining, everyone exhausted to their limits, and gradually despair set in, fear of death becoming a primal instinct.
"Bao Xing, take a few Mages and see if you can break through." General Ling spoke hoarsely, took a deep breath, and relied on the remaining people to carve out another path; perhaps they could make it out.
"General, you lead the people out, I’ll cover the rear." Bao Xing immediately understood General Ling’s intention and refused without hesitation.
