The rest of the enemy troops weren't doing any better either. Not only were they fighting a losing battle, but two of them had also sustained internal injuries.
“This won't do. We have to retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, there's a possibility that our entire army might perish!” Jasper said.
Just then, Cyrus' cold voice rang out from behind. “Hey, old man, now isn't the time to daydream. Take this!”
Jasper froze as his instincts to danger kicked in.
Knowing it was too late to dodge the attack, he quickly activated his protection technique instead.
The next second, a powerful force hit him from behind, causing the energy shield that had just materialized to shatter into pieces.
Jasper got flung out instantly, and the excruciating pain he felt was almost unbearable. If it weren't for him suppressing the urge, he'd have vomited blood a while ago.
“How dare you!” he hollered, his face contorted into a scowl.
He was shaking with rage and wanted nothing more than to reduce Cyrus into a pile of ashes.
However, rationality told him that it wouldn't be wise to stay on any longer. It was bad enough having to deal with Levi's elite troops, but it'd be even worse if the Glorian Order and Void Sect joined in the battle.
We'll be wiped out if that happened!
“Master Hansel, things aren't looking good. We have to retreat!” he yelled.
Unfortunately, his well-intended warning distracted several Paladins, who ended up being dealt severe blows by their opponents.
Thump!
Thump!
Just like that, two of them died on the spot, while the other three were critically injured.
Even Hansel had received three consecutive palm strikes and was bleeding from the mouth, his face all pale.
“Let's go!” he shouted.
Sh*t. Everything's gone pear-shaped. Levi's troops are way more powerful than I had expected!
Thundera's expression, too, had turned grim by then.
I could still take on Floyd earlier, but things only got worse when Bruno and the others joined in. From the looks of it, there's no way we'll win this fight, especially when all of us have already gotten injured.
Just then, one of their subordinates came back with an update.
“Lord Gloria, Levi's base suddenly received reinforcements from many elites. Master Thundera and Bluesky Sect's fighters have all gotten injured and fled.”
That news took everyone aback as they exchanged surprised glances.
“How is that possible?”
“Who are their elites? How are they able to injure Hansel and the rest?”
“That's just unbelievable!”
Gloria contemplated for a moment before speaking up. “No matter who their elites are, the fight must have exhausted them. Our golden opportunity has arrived!”
Despite being baffled, everyone gradually caught on to Gloria's hint.
“In that case, if we attacked the base now, we'll be able to reap the benefits,” Wade said with a smile.
Gloria nodded. “Heed my orders! All troops are to move out and attack Levi's base. We'll also wipe out the Ecclesiastic Order at the same time!”
