Chapter 2382
Darryl’s face immediately sank at the realization. He looked at the camps and saw hundreds of Celestial Feather Riders’ corpses across the field. Apart from that, there was no sight of the North Moana army. It was apparent that Zhang Jue had schemed to get him to the rescue as soon as he launched the raid.
Then, he would retreat once Darryl had arrived; he would leave their enemy to him.
‘Zhang Jue…’ Darryl clenched his fists as his eyes reddened from the sheer hatred. Zhang Jue’s despicability had never ceased to amaze him; who would have thought that he would plot against Darryl at times like that? Darryl was enraged, and he desperately wanted to command the Union Army to retreat. However, it was too late as both sides were engaged in a heated battle.
Meanwhile, Alaric scowled as he searched for an effective counterattack. Debra and Shentel stood by his side wordlessly; they were stunned at the unpredicted turn of events. However, they were not ordinary women; they maintained their composure.
“The Nine Mainland’s army is trying to ambush us from both sides?” Alaric sobered and theorized as he looked across the battlefield. “It’s a shame that they didn’t coordinate well enough. The Raksasa army will win if we go after them right now.” He also realized that the North Moana soldiers had left the field; only soldiers from the Union Army were there.
“No!” Shentel shook her head and said hurriedly, “Yang Jian might not be here, but Darryl Darby and Zhang Jue are not to be underestimated. They could be doing this to lure you to a trap.”
Shentel had been a renowned Westrington talent; her fields of studies even included military strategies. She only needed one look to know that Zhang Jue had planned to sic Darryl and the Raksasa armies on one another. She might not have liked Darryl Darby, but she did not want the Union Army to lose. She would not stand idly by for the sake of the Nine Mainland. She could only try to convince Alaric not to pursue them.
“Oh?” Alaric trembled for a moment before he turned to look at Shentel curiously. “So what should we do, my teacher?”
“We must reinforce the camps’ defense and chase the enemies away without getting too caught up with going after them.” Shentel bit her lips before she gave that advice.
Alaric nodded in agreement; he gathered the force within his energy field to shout across the battlefield toward Amastan. “Brother, focus on pushing them back; do not pursue them.”
“Do not pursue”? The enemies were in their camps, yet they could not pursue them? Amastan was confused and frustrated; he neglected his brother’s command and charged toward the enemy troops.
Amastan was skilled in battle and was as threatening as a hungry tiger out for blood. In the blink of an eye, countless Union Army soldiers were killed.
‘This brat can fight,’ Darryl thought as he frowned at the sight. He immediately braced himself before he dashed toward Amastan.
“You will pay for killing my comrades!” he shouted as he wielded the Heavenly Halberd against Amastan fiercely.
