1200 RETREAT!
"The Monsters are too strong for you to fight head-on, do not engage in a direct assault! We need to resist till His Majesty deals with the rest of the monsters!
Use their Dead Bodies like a wall! Do not let them outnumber you, take away their attacking space!"
The General shouted, giving orders to the Body Cultivators who were fighting against the Semi Saint-level monsters who had crossed the Outer wall.
10,000 Semi Saints, this was the number of monsters these 1000 soldiers, out which, only 100 of them were on the Semi Saint level and were actually capable of facing them. What's worse? Even amongst the 100 Semi Saints, half of them were standing on top of the Inner Wall, casting Magic Spells to attack these monsters, this meant that effectively, only 50 Semi Saints were facing 10,000 Semi Saints head-on.
There was no way to win this battle, honestly, if it weren't for the General taking on the front lines, these soldiers would have already been crushed and even the General was only barely holding on.
The only reason he was able to hold on was that the Gate through which the monsters were rushing in was not wide enough to let all of them in at the same time, out of the 10,000 monsters, only a few hundred of them had made it in and out of these hundred, only a few could battle effectively due to the lack of space.
However, as impressive as it was, the General knew that if this continued for long, he and his soldiers wouldn't survive and would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of opponents eventually.
The General only hoped that the King would defeat the other monsters before that happened and come to rescue them, if not...
Crack
While the General was thinking all this, trying to figure out a way to prolong their survival, he suddenly heard a sound.
'Huh...?'
An ominous feeling overwhelmed his entire body, the General looked around, looking through this large swarm of monsters in front of him and trying to find the source of the voice.
And once he did find out what the source of that voice was...
The General's body trembled in shock and terror.
"RETREAT! RETREAT!"
He shouted.
"Retreat behind the inner wall!
Abandon your positions!"
The Outmost Wall had cracked.
The Monsters that couldn't enter the castle ground because of the lack of space decided to target the wall which was stopping them, while some did actually climb it, the vast majority of them simply decided to take the wall down and,
BOOOM
They finally managed to do it.
"Retreat!!
Mana Cultivators, create Walls to stop these monsters!
Protect your allies!
We need to hold on till his Majesty arrives!!"
The General did not know whether it was the last wave or not, however, what he did know was that his Majesty had ordered him to save as many soldiers as he could.
With the Outer Wall down, there was nothing to hold 10,000 Monsters back any longer, now, rather than a fight between 50 soldiers and a few hundred monsters, It was a battle between 50 soldiers and all 10,000 monsters.
It was a Battle that the Soldiers could never win. The enemies were simply too strong.
It was the 29th Wave, these soldiers were not supposed to last this long.
Heck, let alone the soldiers, even the King was not supposed to last this long. Everything should have ended a lot sooner than this. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Yet it didn't, solely because of the man who stood at the front lines, dealing with all the waves alone, these soldiers, who were supposed to sacrifice their lives in previous waves after fighting gallantly, simply stood there watching how their King annihilated the monsters raiding their homeland.
Now, however, their luck had run out, rather than having a gallant end, these soldiers would now die without being able to do any form of substantial damage to their enemies.
They had lost, even though the General had warned them, the warning came a step too late, none of the soldiers were able to retreat to the Inner Wall.
Some of the soldiers who had shown back to their monsters were stomped to death, the rest would have the same end as well, it was their defeat,
Or that was all the soldiers, and even the General thought.
"I was too slow huh..."
A calm voice was heard.
Then suddenly,
Pierce Pierce Pierce
The Soldiers who were running away saw Purple Black Spikes appearing from the ground, piercing right through the Beasts' bodies and growing up to 10 meters.
"Some of them died..."
Nux commented as he saw the dead bodies of his soldiers, then, however, he shook his head and shrugged.
"Well, it was supposed to happen eventually."
These soldiers were not real people, the same was true for these monsters, none of this was real.
These soldiers were destined to die.
These monsters were supposed to be endless.
And this castle...
It was destined to be destroyed.
Even him being here could not change that. The only thing he could do was to delay the inevitable and the longer he managed to delay it for, the better his results would be.
"Oh well, fuck it."
As Nux cursed out loud, Black Mist came out of his body, filling up the entire area, the monsters tried to resist, some tried to attack Nux, while others tried to break the Dark Amethyst Wall he had summoned, but with the Devouring Mist devouring their Life away, they were helpless.
The monsters soon disappeared into oblivion.
Nux then walked into the air, crossing over the wall he created and as his eyes fell on the soldiers staring at him with shocked looks on their faces, he smiled and,
"That was a close call, wasn't it?"
"..."
The soldiers couldn't say anything, they were too ashamed to do so.
"You people wouldn't be able to hold up huh..."
Nux commented,
"Guess I need to ensure that the castle does not get wiped out before I die,
That would be quite underwhelming."
