Chapter 902 Saving The General (4)
General Li and his men who had been stuck inside the entire time could see that the enemy formation outside was changing.
They only saw small movements at first, which made them think that there were only a few troops in the back that were trying to rescue them.
They were still far too outnumbered to do anything, so they could only hope that those troops could escape and didn't go out to help them.
But as they watched the situation develop outside, they saw that the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces were becoming more and more disorderly. It was as if there was something outside that was disturbing them and throwing them into chaos.
One of the generals couldn't help asking General Li, "Supreme general, could it be that the situation is changing outside?"
General Li looked outside with knitted brows, but he didn't say anything.
While he wasn't certain what was happening, he was sure that the situation was indeed changing outside. He could see the lines of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces getting thinner and thinner as if there was something taking them out.
However, there shouldn't be any forces that would be able to defeat the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom trash. They should all be tired after the fight with the Beast Race, so this change was very strange.
Seeing that General Li wasn't saying a thing, one of the generals couldn't help asking, "Supreme general, should we go out and assist them?"
General Li slowly shook his head when he heard this.
Even if there were people that were fighting out there, there were just too many enemies. He didn't have any faith that they would be able to break through the blockade of the enemies, so if they were to go out now…
The only ending would be that the reinforcements would be defeated and then they would be surrounded by the enemies.
While it was cruel to abandon the people who came to save them, it was the right thing to do. As long as he as the supreme general didn't fall, the enemies wouldn't have a way to fully commit to attacking their camp.
He would have to wait until the reinforcements from the surrounding area arrived and then break through the enemy lines with them.
As long as there were enough reinforcements, he was certain that they would be able to break through.
So he had no choice but to sit here and wait, watching as his men were slaughtered outside.
But as time passed, he was surprised to find that this wasn't the case.
They had expected the sounds of fighting to die down after some time since they didn't believe the reinforcements outside would be able to win, but the sounds actually became louder and louder. It was almost as if the enemy forces were slowly being pushed back.
In fact, they could see from the tent that the enemy lines were slowly thinning. They could see some familiar faces through the gaps in the enemy lines.
It was almost as if…their reinforcements were slowly pushing through.
Seeing this, some of the generals couldn't help revealing anxious looks as they watched this.
They knew that this was a chance and if they didn't take this chance, there might not be another one as good as this to get out of this blockade. So many of them started looking to General Li as if they were about to advise him to charge out.
But to their surprise, they found that General Li had already drawn his sword.
It was as if he had already made up his mind and he was just looking for a target to bring his sword down on.
Seeing this, all of them also drew their weapons and waited for General Li to make his move.
As a long serving general with plenty of experience, how could General Li not see the gaps that these generals had seen?
However, his eyes were on a much bigger prize.
As more and more gaps formed in the enemy lines, they would reveal the prize that was hidden in the center.
General Li wasn't just the most important person here, but also the strongest expert here. He was the only High Planet Realm Expert that was at the camp, so he could be considered their greatest weapon.
If he were to charge out now, he would have to fight all the various enemy experts that would charge to take him down.
With the trend that was happening outside, it was clear that if he waited long enough, he would be able to see a path to the target that he was looking for.
Of course, this wasn't guaranteed.
So the other condition that he was waiting for was if the enemies gained their second wind and started pushing back their reinforcements.
If he were to show himself at this time, then it would suppress this second wind and force the enemies back down.
So he had already made up his mind to go out, all he was waiting for was the right opportunity.
That opportunity came not long after.
In one big push, the reinforcements were able to break through the enemy lines and created a hole in them. From that hole, General Li was able to see a clear path to the center of the enemy formation.
So without hesitation, General Li charged out of the tent.
The other generals that had been with him were all prepared and had been waiting for him to act. So the moment that they saw him charge out, they all charged out along with him.
The enemy lines were in chaos from being pushed through, so when they saw General Li's forces charging at them, they immediately started to scatter.
This was a group of experts that were fresh from recovering while watching them fight, so they were much stronger than those that had been fighting the entire time.
If they were to face General Li and his troops now, their only ending would be death.
Being forced into this situation had completely crushed their morale and they scattered without hesitation.
There were a few commanders that tried to rally the scattering troops, but because they were barking out orders, they were quickly cut down by the experts led by General Li. It didn't take long before the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces completely lost all source of command and became a mob of headless chickens.
General Li and his troops ignored the scattering troops and turned their attention to the center of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces.
In that center of the formation, there was a group that was currently being surrounded by a bunch of beasts.
General Li and his troops were surprised to see all of the beasts around the enemies, but they could tell that these beasts were fighting their enemies.
As they said, the enemy of an enemy was a friend.
So since these beasts didn't show any hostility towards them, there was no need to mind them for now. In fact, they could even fight with these beasts since it was clear that these beasts were suppressing the enemies.
It was just that the enemy High Planet Realm Expert hadn't made a move yet.
They also couldn't help wondering where all these beasts came from. At the same time, they were also curious why…it seemed like the enemy were a bit unwilling to fight these beasts.
Still there was no time to think about that as they charged at the enemy.
When General Li's group charged forward, they were surprised to find that the beasts suddenly changed formation. They paused for a second to see what the beasts wanted to do, but then they found that the beasts had changed formation to support them.
The beasts formed a wall in front of them that helped them block the enemy troops, while leaving a gap for them to break through into the center of the enemy formation.
With the beasts covering them, they would be able to break through into the center in one fell swoop.
General Li and his troops were naturally surprised to see the beasts coordinating with them like this, but they didn't let this chance go. General Li immediately led his troops into the gap left behind by the beasts and started charging towards the center of the enemy's formation.
When they charged forward, the beasts around them also charged, helping them create walls that cut off the enemy experts that would surround them. This created a perfect path for them to the leader of the enemies.
As they ran through this path, they heard the voices around them.
"Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Please stop!"
"Ah Ya, I raised you since you were a little cub! What are you doing?"
There were similar voices pleading with the beasts, but they all fell onto deaf ears as the beasts continued to attack them and the enemies hesitantly fought back to stop them.
Hearing all of this, General Li and his troops slowly put the clues together.
Could it be that these beasts…were the pets of the enemies that had betrayed them?
If that were the case, who was responsible for this?
As far as they knew, they didn't know anyone that had this kind of power…
But in General Li's mind, there was a young figure that appeared as he remembered the report that he had heard a while ago. It seemed like there was indeed someone in this camp that had this ability, someone that they had all ignored.
But he also quickly shook these thoughts from his head and focused his mind as he looked at the enemy commander.
This was where the real battle began, he couldn't let himself be distracted.
As for the questions that were at the back of his mind, he would solve them after this battle was over.
