Chapter 788: The only allowed diriction
"Let's go, don't waste the opportunity!"
"Get off of me!!"
The remaining 90 Emperors felt that luck smiled at them again with the fall of the wall. Whoever had another drop of Durger's blood burned it and attacked his opponents, then hurried to get out as fast as he could.
That final attack was extremely devastating, in one moment more than 30 Martial Emperors from the True Beginning Empire turned into dust while the armors of the rest were severely damaged.
The three generals also did the same as the late Sully had done, saving only a supply of blood to support their lives and burning the rest to form a powerful final attack, but unlike Sully, none of them stayed around to guide the purple cloud, they turned their backs and charged towards the broken wall with full force to join the rest of the Martial Emperors under their banner.
"Hahaha yeah, the guys did it!!" Marshal Xannox laughed out loud when he saw what was happening below
Instinctively, the first thing they tried to do was spread out in more than one direction and make holes in the Heaven Seal Grand Array so that they could reach the reinforcements, only by then they would be truly saved.
But a shout from Robin destroyed their dreams, "Don't let any of them go through the Heaven Seal Grand Array! Those bastards are the ones who killed your comrades and wanted to steal your wealth, don't let them get away with it! Surround them first and then chase them to the ends of the planet!"
"Hmph!" The remaining 450 Martial Emperors of the True Beginning Empire roared together and attacked their opponents again, Caesar and the rest spotted Dirit, Parrs, and Jaike and chased them down as well.
The numerical difference was enormous, and the Great Serpent Emperors had lost most of their strength in attacking the wall and trying to escape. Entering into another battle now in order to make holes in the Heaven Seal Grand Array was impossible.
The only solution was: "Escape in all directions at full speed. Our men at the top will create gaps for us far away from this damned place!" Dirit shouted at the top of his lungs, and for this one shout, he lost an arm for Alexander's blade, "Arrrgh!!"
But for him, it was worth it... The Warlords and Demons above and the hundreds of Emperors below would not allow this unification to happen, their only chance was to try to find a way out from somewhere else!
"Yes!!" The tired Great Serpent Emperors didn't think twice, just received orders, and began flying at full speed in all directions.
Also above the Heaven Seal Grand Array, dozens of Martial Emperors withdrew from the fight against the warlords and Demons and set out in different directions to help their brothers ascend.
But there was a problem *Paa*
*PAA* *Boom* *Boom*
They all came out from that one damaged side of the wall, and under Robin's orders, the 450 Human Martial Emperors surrounded them from all directions. Whenever one of them tried to escape from the encirclement, he would be intercepted and beaten.
There was only one who found a loophole and was about to escape eastward, but an Emperor of the Shadow Swords appeared before him and kicked him back inside the encirclement again!
"Shit, what to do?!"
"Are we doomed to die today!?"
"Put the wall behind your backs and just move forward, they haven't surrounded that direction yet!"
"Let's go!!"
*swoosh**swoosh*
There was no time to think, they all had the wall directly at their backs and shot forward at full speed.
"Follow them!" *Swoosh* *Swoosh* Jura Emperors didn't waste any time either, they took off like an arrow without bothering with anything else.
Generals Parrs and Jaike also managed to escape again and catch up with the rest, laden with wounds and missing a limb or two, but still breathing.
Whenever one of the Great Serpent Emperors tried to attack the Great Heaven Seal Array above him, an attack would come from behind and intercept it before it reached the array... The person in front tried to seize his advantage over the pursuers and shot upwards like an arrow to create a gap in the array, but an instant space portal appeared in front of him, from which he emerged a Darkness Martial Emperor, he smacked him so hard that he returned to his flock again without saying a word.
The battle of annihilation had suddenly turned into an open pursuit, and yet the Great Serpent Emperors were feeling even greater pressure!
"...What is that old man planning now?" Caesar muttered as he watched his men walk away "It seems His Excellency is planning something interesting..." Alexander slowly walked up to him, his specially designed black-gold armor almost no longer present, only scattered pieces of it still clinging to his body, the rest vanishing under the weight of the Minor Heavenly Law of Corrosion's constant attacks.
"Never mind, we have to catch up with them or some of the fun will be lost." Caesar smiled and then threw a corpse aside, quietly burning in black flames... It was General Dirit. *Shhhhh* At this moment, a Darkness Emperor appeared before them. He bowed slightly, before standing up again and looking into Caesar's eyes, "Supreme General, His Excellency has a mission for you."
"...Dude, stop what you're doing, this isn't funny, it might make us lose our friendship." Hulk's voice appeared in Robin's head, he sounded serious.
"What friendship? I haven't done anything yet, see the next move." Robin smiled softly
"All troops, attention!" Caesar's voice shook the air, "Let Battalions 1 to 3, Battalions 7 and 8, and Battalions 11, 12, and 13 remain here with the Terra Cavalry to continue the battle. As for all the rest, use the space portals to block the path of the fleeing Emperors immediately. When we eliminate them, you will return to eliminate the remaining rats!" *Bzzzzt* As soon as they heard Caesar's orders, the well trained soldiers started moving
The 10,000 Terra forces forming the Earth Seal array around the city neutralized the array since there was no one left in it and went to join the rest of the cavalry in the fight. As for all the battalions whose names were not mentioned, they began to quickly withdraw and enter
the space portals.
The remaining soldiers and Terra Cavalry were more than enough to deal with the Great Serpent Empire's army, but after the mass withdrawal, a fatal flaw soon appeared that was
noticed by all the forces...
The northern battlefront has become almost empty, there is no longer any barrier between the soldiers and their spacecraft.
Of course, the officers of the Great Serpent Empire who had set one foot on the edge of death, did not think twice when they saw this opportunity, "Quickly return to the ships and prepare
the cannons!!"
All the soldiers left their backs exposed to the attacks and rushed towards the ships like crazy. In this heavy rush alone, more than 100,000 other soldiers fell dead or wounded. There was also a huge number on the other side of the city who were still stuck away from their ships, those had no choice but to remain in their place fighting, hoping that comrades would come back for them.
As for those who survived the assault and were able to reach the spaceships did not pay
attention to anything but surviving. They entered their ships and took off directly, taking advantage of the cannons to fight the remaining saints and sages pursuing them, thinking that perhaps they could reverse the current using the cannons or even save some of their comrades, but the forces of the True Beginning Empire proved again that they were not easy
prey...
The speed of their movements and their immense power and teamwork enabled them to shoot down 5 ships quickly, and under the leadership of Supreme General Caesar and Governor Alexander, they began to impose a comprehensive siege to bring down the rest.
Fighting so many elite Jura forces was tiring enough, now the appearance of two of the
strongest enemy Generals made everyone panic!
"Dammit, let's get out of here!!"
Once again, those in charge had no choice but to flee towards the only available direction,
towards the North.
