Chapter 677: The plight of the Gods (II)
[The forces coming are only Apotheosis Masters and Divine Ascension Masters. They also carry with them those metallic towers brought by the Scarlet King and are led by the Collapsing Lightning Duke.]
General Casidius clenched his fists as he saw the temerity in the Collapsing Lightning Alliance. They left the weaker troops behind, exposing their warriors to higher risk but also improving their speed to the point that the Inferno Daemon’s great generals were caught off guard.
A solemn light appeared in all the great generals as they understood that the withdrawal would not be as clean as they initially thought. Remaining and fighting would mean their death, forcing them to make a choice.
