"Keep moving,"
Gianni barked, after having dealt with the Snow Birds.
Every round of attacks required all human spirits to die in battle.
However, this time, all the human spirits stopped in their tracks.
The three human spirits that were just killed would have their coordinates erased.
It was said that seven more were to suffer the same fate.
"General Gianni, all of us will die in a round of attack," Alphonse said with a hint of anxiety in his tone. "Do you mean the coordinates of ten people will definitely be erased after every round of attacks?"
"General Gianni, we are all human spirits," Hamilton pitched in. "How could you be so cruel?"
Both Alphonse and Hamilton were leaders of their respective houses, and were far stronger than ordinary human spirits. It was unlikely they were going to die first.
However, the members of the three houses were of the same sect and race. They tended to look out for each other. When Gianni treated their lives like trash, they felt indignant yet helpless.
Gianni stared at Alphonse with mock. "If you think ten is too many, then sacrifice yourselves. Once we reach the quota of ten, the remaining people will be safe."
All the human spirits who overheard this felt anger stir in their hearts.
Even the several human spirits of the Broad House that followed Gianni were furious. One of them, a burly man, cursed loudly. "Gianni! It was stupid of me to follow you this whole time!"
"General Gianni, as a general of the Ten Directions House, you are so ruthless..."
"General Gianni, go to hell..."
The human spirits began to curse him, one after another.
As Gianni heard these offensive and harsh reproaches, his disposition remained unchanged. With a bored expression, he said, "The monkey spirits in the Heavenly Square City have all been executed. Is that what you want?"
The sole reason why the Snake Masters allowed the three houses to exist was because they still found them useful. The second they lost their value, the Snake Masters would exterminate them swiftly and mercilessly.
A hush fell over the crowd. Exchanging nervous glances, no one dared utter another curse.
Naturally, no one wanted to die here, in this small pond. Only by living on could they possibly see light at the other end of the tunnel.
Through gritted teeth, Alphonse said, "Warriors of the three houses, charge!"
Then, taking the lead, he rushed forth into the battlefield.
Shooting each other helpless glances, the other human spirits had no choice but to follow suit.
Gianni watched the people rush into the bird nests with a grim expression.
Just then, a small snake-shaped mark appeared on Gianni's shoulder. From the mark, a voice rang out, "Gianni, you did a good job."
"Thank you for your praise, Master Balfour," Gianni replied. Any trace of regret was wiped from his face and was instantly replaced with excitement.
"Take down the nest in the far right, and our Snake Spirit Sect will reward you generously," Balfour said. "When we return to the main world in the future, you will be in charge of the Human Spirit Sect."
The Snake Masters, snake spirits and all the other Treacherous Beings were extremely dissatisfied while trapped in this small chaos.
They had all hoped that one day they would return to the main world.
Even the Snake Spirit King promised that if they were able to come back, the Four Spirits Sect would be rebuilt.
The Snake Spirit Sect would be the ruling force, and the other three sects would probably serve as vassals.
