Only a fool would not notice the Gigantic Monsters’ strength; no legendary monsters could not begin to compare to them. Ordinary soldiers would not even be able to get close to that beast, and at that point, the difference in power was so undeniable that it could hardly be called a battle.
In the blink of an eye, the Union Army took some enormous casualties; how long did they have until no one was left? Many of those sects were defeated, and even more orders had fallen apart.
Casualties continued to rise as it painted the ground red. One after the other, warriors fell and drowned in their own pool of blood. It was too much for them to handle, so some decided to retreat.
“We are leaving,” Jackie summoned the Illusion Sound Sect and Sun Set Sect disciples from the mob. Then, she said to Jasmine, “Quickly! We need to go now; there’s not much time.”
Jasmine hesitated for a moment and said, “The others are still fighting, if we leave now—” She was also intimidated by the overpowering strength that the Raksasa Tribe had demonstrated, but some part of her still wished to stay and fight for the sake of her homeland.
Jackie shook her head. “No, we don’t stand a chance here. If we stay, we’ll die. Right now, we need to reserve our strength so that we can deal with the Raksasa Tribe after.” As she spoke, Jackie was practically glowing with confidence.
Ever since she took the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda from Darryl, she had spent her time trying to figure out its secret, but she did not manage to learn anything.
She was confident that she had what it took to unravel its secret so that she could become the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s new master. As long as she had the pagoda, she would have countless ancient warriors at her command. Maybe she could fend off the Raksasa Army then.
“Alright!” When Jasmine saw the determination in Jackie’s eyes, she decided not to say another word against her decision. Instead, she turned to order the disciples from the Sun Set Sect and the Illusion Sound Sect to retreat.
“You people—” Yvette was beyond frustrated; she did not expect that most of their soldiers would feel intimidated by the Raksasa Tribe and chose to run that early into battle. Chester felt just as helpless. He continued to shout for everyone to work together, but it was no use. Those who stayed were too disheartened to continue with the initial fierceness, and they mainly remained passive. As a result, not only the Union Army, but even the North Moana Army crumbled under the Gigantic Monsters’ attack.
“Everyone!” Zhang Jue hovered in mid-air and urged. “Heed my orders, Union Army, divide yourselves into two troops, one to circle back from the left and the other to engage with the enemy on the right. Then, North Moana Army, remain in your formation and slowly retreat from the middle. Hurry!”
As soon as the orders were given, the North Moana Army followed swiftly. On the other hand, Chester, Quincy, Andy, Parker, and a few others cast a look at one another before they promptly turned to instruct their men to follow Zhang Jue’s order. If it had happened the previous day, none of them would have listened to Zhang Jue.
