Chapter 323: Part of the Nobles'' Army Escaped
The first wave of my demon attacks came to cause enough devastation there, especially the range of the sword calibre was already unbelievable!
Many screams erupted from the front, however after this attack, many shades started to move fast, heading straight towards me.
"So they sent their masters at early beginning," I muttered, without giving them any heed. The next moment over a hundred attack descended upon me, all were so mighty and strong that made me sure they came from artifacts as well.
However, the moment I raised my shield towards these attacks, a beam of light emanated from it, stopping all attacks sessfully, while causing an explosion one after another.
I just shook my head, and the next moment my demon attacked, and me too joined him, delivering deadly blows to a handful of them.
They also attacked again, and again, while I kept defending myself and my demon. When I was only a few hundred meters away, only half of them remained, and they realized soon they would all be dead.
"Retreat, and attack their normal yers."
Suddenly this shout came, and instantly those masters turned to shadows, rapidly retreating from there, while they sent many attacks towards my yers.
It was futile for me to defend them, as these attacks were really diverse, and the aim of this move was to distract me. "Keep attacking them! kill them all!"
I shouted at my demon, so he continued attacking with me, however these masters were really fast. They hurriedly retreated, despite that we both managed to kill ten of them at least.
The next battle was a massacre of me and my demon leading the wholemon yers into killing these nobles mercilessly. Nothing stopped in our path, not on the ground, not even the balloons on the air.
My spear was best suited to hunt down balloons in the air, making them fall one after another. However that also came with many losses on our side, as not many had balloons here.
In the middle of such chaos, I noticed something that I and my three mentors had anticipated. The nobles had divided their lines into two, part kept us busy, and the rest retreated to the distance.
We knew once nobles gained some time to think, they would realize they were thrown into such a deep abyss, designed for their death. So, their top masters and yers would prefer to sacrifice a portion of them, and then they would retreat.
Their aim would be to gain foot on many forts, starting a very long attrition battle. Despite their final oue would be death, they wouldn''t fall this easily, or this soon.
They would stick to the hope that reinforcements would appear from the empire to help, and that was one of the reasons why the guardian intended to form this newnd, so its location would be unknown to the nobles in the empire.
However as this newnd was connected somehow with the sacrednd of the mystic art society, I was pretty sure finding it here wouldn''t be impossible.
Plus, this connection might be also a problem, as those forces of the soul suckers would be able toe here, fortify theyers here, helping the nobles, perhaps, and making our task to reach the mystic art society impossible.
However, this also was a double edged weapon. They had to dispatch many troops to do so, and doing so would surely weaken the front on the mystic art society battlefront, giving the masters trapped there the chance to catch their breaths, and even counter attack!
The situation was soplicated that even a single variable might change the final oue of this war! I liked that!!
I was also sure that those nobles sacrificed here would be the weakest and useless ones, with not many mystic art users in them. Despite that, their number was really huge, and I tried more than once to prate their lines, but I was constantly blocked by a flood of their yers, with endless skills falling upon me.
I didn''t care about any of them, as my shield was enough to stop the mightier attacks of the artifacts. When I finally managed to pass the whole thick region of these noble yers, I found the whole world empty in front of me.
I just hoped I could chase after them, constantly causing problems, making them controlling many forts an uneasy task.
However they were much faster to retreat than I thought. After I chased for a few hours without seeing a single dust of them, I retreated again, taking part in the ongoing fight.
During my way, I was attacked by many demon groups, however I easily killed them using my artifact, and my demon. I already had a great experience in dealing with them, even with my normal spear.
As I killed group after group, I noticed my contribution points soaring. "This might be troublesome!" I muttered, as this would also happen to the vanished noble army.
Amassing enough points would make them able to summon other armies, station them at the forts they conquered, strengthening their defenses, and dying our march to the front!
I sighed, as any n must have some loopholes after all. If this was an advantage for my enemies, it was also an advantage for me and my armies.
As I returned to join others, I found the battle was still raging hot. The main problem here was that both sides were nearly matched, in numbers and in skills and levels.
It wasn''t until a whole day had passed when the flood of new yers came, adding great momentum to my army, while the nobles stopped showing any reinforcements, making them destined to be killed till thest yer.
I joined the fight from time to time, however I stayed mainly at their rears, killing anyone trying to run away. I didn''t want the upfront army of nobles to gain any more reinforcements, even if these were normal yers, not mystic art ones.
