Upon learning that the defensive line in both directions had fallen, Jill withdrew the Phoenix Master Clan's troops right away.
"Matriarch, I don't think we can hold on much longer. We must retreat," an elder of the Phoenix Master Clan advised in all honesty.
Jill shared the same serious look on her face. Ever since the Phoenix Master Clan was established, it housed its base at the Phoenix Cloud Mountain. But, as the matriarch of the clan, she had a hard time deciding if she should give up and retreat. That was because once they withdrew their force from the Phoenix Cloud Mountain, they would become homeless. Moreover, they could even be chased and intercepted.
On the other hand, she also understood that if they continued to fight like this, they would eventually be at a disadvantage. After weighing her options, she realized that if they wanted to keep the foundation of the Phoenix Master Clan, retreat was the only way around this whole fiasco.
Not long after giving it some thought, she finally ordered her people to retreat. Then, she gathered the Phoenix Master Clan troops at the other defensive lines and commanded them to head to the southeast defensive line to prepare to break out. In addition, she ordered one of her men to take out the Demonic Soul Cauldron in the forbidden area.
However, Alston had already figured out Jill's plan as he assumed his personal command. With that being said, Alston raised the Dark King Mace in his hand as he led five hundred elite spiritual race members, aiming to block the clan's path of escape.
The Phoenix Master Clan had no time to think of what to do next. All they knew was that they needed to break out despite being surrounded by powerful forces and heavy weapons.
Not long after, under Jill's leadership, the army of three thousand members suddenly broke out of the defensive line and rushed at Alston's elite spiritual race team at full speed.
In the blink of an eye, a fierce war was about to begin between the two groups!
Unfortunately, the Phoenix Master Clan's efforts seemed to be in vain as they failed to break the force surrounding them. Instead of pushing through the barrier, they were beaten black and blue by the elite spiritual race, rendering more than a hundred casualties on their team.
While this happened, several forces of the Glory Army also came to surround them from different directions. Without a doubt, the Phoenix Master Clan was in a stage of siege.
"Matriarch, what do we do? We are surrounded," an elder shouted at Jill with a serious expression, asking what to do.
On the other hand, Alston saw how rattled his enemies were. Taunting his enemies, he flashed a complacent smile on them.
"Matriarch Jill, I don't think you have to fight anymore. If you do, your clan will be exterminated. I will give you a choice: perish, or submit to my rule and live." Alston looked at Jill with evil eyes as if he was certain that she would bow down to him and surrender.
"I would rather be killed than submit to you. The Phoenix Master Clan will never yield to you!" Jill bit her pink lips out of frustration. Despite being trapped without a choice, she would still choose death over surrendering to someone as despicable as Alston.
"Then don't blame me for what will happen next." Alston waved his hand, and the other members of his troops instantly surrounded the Phoenix Master Clan from all directions.
Before long, the bloody and gruesome battle continued!
Jill, the elders, and the spiritual masters tried their best to lead the Phoenix Master Clan out of the encirclement. But somehow, corpses still fell on the ground one by one because of the obvious gap in power.
In a short while, the entire team was reduced to less than a thousand members, rendering the rest severely injured.
