The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1073

To Asura’s Office, that day was no different from doomsday.

In less than half a day, one hundred and ten thousand people had perished on the River Onxy battlefield.

Most devastatingly, Hayes and Hades, the two commanding officers with the highest authority in the Eastern Allied Army, had fallen unconscious one after another.

Although Yosef was there to take charge of the Eastern Allied Army, he was still only the deputy commander. He lacked many powers, such as the right to launch special missiles.

That meant that the most effective and intimidating deterrent had been rendered paralyzed.

Although Joshua and Hayden were God Realm cultivators who could serve pivotal roles on the battlefield, they weren’t members of Asura’s Office at the end of the day.

They couldn’t assume command.

The entire Eastern Allied Army, which had a remainder of close to four hundred thousand soldiers, was caught up in a semi-paralyzed state just like that.

Aside from taking regular defense measures, no one knew what else to do.

While Joshua sent Hayes and Hades to the Eastern Allied Army’s temporary hospital, a figure finally arrived from the northeast, landing on a mountain peak far from the ruins of the northern defense line.

Standing under the morning sun, Jonathan felt an icy sensation enveloping his body.

Although he hadn’t been involved in Asura’s Office’s decision-making since a few months ago, he had visited the Eastern Army’s camp several times to handle Karl’s matters.

Therefore, he had a rough understanding of the defense coverage of the Eastern Allied Army.

However, at that moment, on the plain before his eyes, there was no intact land left where the northern defense line of the Eastern Allied Army should have been.

Standing on the mountaintop and looking down, Jonathan saw that the ground was disfigured with countless shell craters stretching all the way to the horizon.

“Impossible…”

He couldn’t bring himself to accept the scene before him.

Even though he had communicated with Joshua on the phone and knew the Eastern Army must’ve suffered losses in the first wave of the confrontation, he had never imagined the circumstances to be like that.

Perhaps only the northern defense line is destroyed by artillery barrages. During Karl’s reign, many underground fortifications were built. Moreover, there was also an air defense network to intercept incoming attacks. The soldiers should’ve had enough time to evacuate from the battlefield…

Jonathan leaped down from the top of the small mountain and ran frantically toward the ruins of the Eastern Army’s northern defense line.

The biting cold wind buffeted against Jonathan’s cheeks like innumerable knives poking at his skin.

As he ran, tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.

His vision blurred. He chose to shut his eyes and not look at the apocalyptic scene around him.

At that moment, Jonathan didn’t even dare to take out his communication device and connect to the communication channel because he couldn’t stand hearing the casualty report.

Even though Jonathan kept telling himself that it was likely just the base and battlefields that had been destroyed, and Hayes and Hades might’ve already evacuated all the soldiers, the mangled corpses in the surroundings were proving to him that those were merely his self-deceiving wishful thinking.

Jonathan couldn’t see with his eyes shut, but the images formed in his mind from the feedback of his spiritual sense were even clearer.

From the moment he stepped into the defense line, he could sense countless mutilated dead bodies within a hundred meters radius with every step he took.

Those broken cadavers weren’t large. Some were just fingers, while others were merely half a skull.

However, the fragmented remains were teeming as the dirt on the ground.

Jonathan didn’t dare to open his eyes to look at the land beneath his feet, which had been stained dark red by blood.

Regardless of his willingness to admit it, the Eastern Allied Army’s northern defense line had been razed to the ground.
