Chapter 650: Resolving The Gill Family Matter 2
Zum!
Some sounds sounded around that space where the Gill family group was passing when suddenly several arrays were activated simultaneously.
These arrays could momentarily affect its targets, individuals below level 49. On such people, the effects of this alternative would cause the targets to become disoriented for a few seconds.
Hence, such people would be very vulnerable if they were surprised at the interval in which these arrays worked!
"Ahhhh!"
Because of this action of the Black Plain Army soldiers, soon several of the people in that Gill family group began to scream in panic, trying to understand what was happening.
"What is that? Who's there?"
"Come out, you wretches!"
Several voices of people still under control over their senses and minds echoed through that area as the strongest ones there prepared to fight.
Using arrays to weaken the opponents was indeed something that could bring magnificent effects in a fight. However, Minos' army faced two problems that would make it difficult to use this type of item to its full potential.
One of those problems was the small amount of low-level grade-2 array masters in Dry City. And the other was the great demand for arrays of all kinds in that same city.
So, considering the large number of soldiers the army already had, there was no way that Minos could supply items of the same type to his soldiers in the short term. But, on the other hand, there were ways to respond to the effects of such arrays or that young man's soldiers couldn't use such alternatives without being affected too.
Consequently, even after 30 of those soldiers who were on this mission activated similar arrays, a few hundred opponents had remained almost untouchable!
"They are attacking us when we are almost at the door of our new home? What kind of bad luck is this? Are we cursed?" The leader of this group shouted, already circulating his energies and signaling for his fellow Spiritual Kings to prepare themselves.
"Stay on alert!" A level 53 woman said when she finally saw several shadows appearing in the vicinity of their group.
"That… That's very strange." Another of those five experts commented uncertainly, already counting the number of opponents.
'There are hundreds of people in the opponent group… What is happening here? How can such a large group like that be on the outskirts of our city?' He wondered as his expression grew worse with each passing fraction of a second.
And slowly, sweat was starting to bead on his forehead and back as he realized that the truth was quite different from what they thought. 'It can't be…'
'I don't believe it!'
"Elders, we've been tricked!" He shouted aloud, finally trying to pass his findings to his teammates who were at the 6th stage of cultivation.
However, such an action was not necessary… Each of those Gill family experts accompanying this group had already come to the same conclusion!
It was evident that no power would allow so many enemies to be so close to its home. Yet, because each of these Spiritual Kings was already beginning to sense the strength of their opponents, the previous warning was unnecessary.
And considering the number of Spiritual Generals above level 44 in that opposing group, of these old figures had any doubt that this group had come from Dry City itself.
'Shit!'
'What happened to our subordinates who were sent here earlier? Have they been enslaved?' The leader of that mission, a level 55 cultivator, wondered simultaneously, in which he felt a great sense of humiliation.
The entire family had been deceived. They had even involved themselves in a conflict against the Silva family just because of this city. Yet, some of the descendants of them might even be held hostages!
Something so degrading had never happened before in the history of the Gill family!
"Ahhhh!"
But as the cries of those affected by the arrays resounded through that area and these experts understood the situation, Minos and his group finally got close enough to their opponents.
This young man then authorized his soldiers to knock out those affected by the effects of the arrays and the weaker opponents of that group who were still okay.
"Attack!"
He didn't want to kill any of these people since it was in his interest if this group survived so that they could be absorbed into the forces of Dry City in the future. But, on the other hand, it would not be good if deaths occurred, as this might very well warn the rest of the Gill family not to come here.
Because of all this, these soldiers would only knock out those opponents so that any attempt at resistance or escape would be stopped!
"Ahhhh! Fight for your lives!"
"Attack!"
And soon, the people in the Gill family group began to shout in agitation while many of the stronger individuals were trying to encourage the rest.
Many of their companions had already fallen to the effects of the previous arrays. Still, the difference in the numbers of each group in this location was not that great.
As such, those people from House Gill would not surrender. Instead, they would fight as hard as they could not to fall in this place!
Devouring Art!
Meanwhile, Minos quickly rushed towards the five Spiritual Kings, who were running amidst the crowd of warriors in that group in an attempt to fight against this young man's soldiers.
Infinite Dream!
However, they were soon prevented from doing this when Minos suddenly used his mental technique on two of those experts, putting them into a dream controlled by him.
Explosive Steps!
Spatial Sword!
At the same time, as his eyes flashed, this young man rushed towards two other Spiritual Kings while almost wholly suppressing the space around them.
Swooish!
Upon doing so, this young sovereign immediately sent a sword attack in the direction of the strongest opponent in that place, as he prepared to knock out those two.
Indestructible Body!
Pow!
As he absorbed the energies of the five Spiritual Kings, he launched several kicks and punches in the direction of those two, using his powerful bodily strength to knock them out.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Ahh!"
"Miserable!"
"To think that a level 50 individual could do such a thing!" The group leader finally shouted in anger, right after suffering an injury to his left arm from the blade sent by Minos earlier.
On the other hand, those two individuals from before screamed in pain while feeling several sensitive parts in their bodies, which Minos had beaten in the short interval of time that had passed.
This young man was much more substantial than these people, and his speed was challenging to catch up with. Because of this, and also because he had been underestimated at the beginning of the fight, he had quickly managed to knock out four of the five Spiritual Kings!
However, such a thing had only happened because he wanted someone from that group to remain conscious to understand their situation and hear what he had to say.
Otherwise, not even this level 55 Spiritual King would have remained so 'unharmed'!
And so the battles around that place continued.
Boom!
"Ahhhh!"
Pow!
"Don't kill me! Please, I have a little daughter!"
…
"Ahhhh!"
And it didn't take long for Minos to look in that man's direction and ignore the explosions and typical battlefield sounds in his surroundings.
He then said. "Surrender, and we will stop attacking your people."
"Stop attacking my people? You've practically already won the battle!"
"Why do you think we should make your job so easy? If you want our lives, do it the old-fashioned way!" He retorted as he ran toward Minos with blood in his eyes.
But Minos didn't care to say anything upon hearing and seeing this opponent's reaction.
It was only expected that a person would lose some of his reason or the ability to see some details when he found himself in a desperate situation. So, this man had not realized that no one had died since the beginning of the fight, despite the many cries of pain and despair.
'Well, if you want your group to take a good beating, then I will allow that to happen!'
