Chapter 011: Breakthrough

Carol spat out a mouthful of blood. Her subordinates quickly took her place, surrounding her tightly to protect her!
Naturally, the Northern Legion also had many skilled fighters. A general at Carol’s rank naturally had his own elite guard, all of whom were top-notch soldiers selected from the army!
The skilled warriors from the Frozen Alliance surrounding Moses, though too afraid to enter Moses’s domain and stand beside him, rushed at Carol’s heavy cavalry immediately, engaging in battle with them.
Those hundreds of experts at level 6 and above quickly suppressed the heavy cavalry of the Northern Legion, which had been constantly attacking the Frozen Alliance forces, with their heavy armor!
“Order the heavy cavalry to attack from both flanks! Surround this area!” Carol, still holding her chest, issued orders swiftly.
Having a keen grasp of the battlefield situation and adjusting tactics at any time are essential qualities for an excellent general—and Carol was undoubtedly outstanding in this regard.
Although the heavy cavalry in the center was suppressed by the Frozen Alliance’s experts, the Northern Legion sent 30,000 heavy cavalry troops this time!
30,000 heavy cavalry could not be stopped by just a few hundred people. Following Carol’s orders, the cavalry on both flanks accelerated their assault. Tens of thousands of cavalry quickly surrounded the area where Du Fan and the others were trapped.
As for George and Allen, trapped inside the magic circle, Carol’s injury unleashed a powerful energy within them!
Originally, both George and Allen had absorbed divine essences. With their help, their cultivation progressed rapidly. They could become gods quickly if they absorbed all the power from the divine essences. One way to accelerate this absorption was under extreme danger or pressure, when their full potential was unleashed, speeding up the integration and absorption of the divine essences.
Seeing Carol injured and spitting blood, George and Allen both felt an intense desire to break free. This desire stimulated their latent potential. As their emotions grew more intense, their cultivation levels soared rapidly! It was as if, seeing their closest loved ones in danger, a surge of tension filled their bodies. The divine essences within George and Allen continued to be fused and absorbed!

Driven by this unleashed potential, George and Allen intensified their attacks on the fixed point of the confinement magic array! Seeing their urgency, Naixiu also unleashed even more powerful arrow techniques from the air! Arrows that resembled both dragons and snakes kept striking the confinement magic array! Under the relentless attacks of George and Allen, the magic array trembled continuously, and finally, a clear sound was heard. George and Allen suddenly realized that their attacks had missed target and were flying straight into the sky. The confinement magic array had been broken under the full force of the three of them, especially George and Allen.

“Uncle Carol!” As soon as the magic array was broken, George and Allen immediately rushed toward Carol.

Seeing blood still on Carol’s lips, George and Allen felt overwhelming sorrow.

“Elder brother! I’ll kill him!” Allen said fiercely.

The ninth-level warrior who had wounded Carol was wielding a long spear, continuously taking the lives of the Northern Legion’s heavy cavalry. With his brutal spear techniques, few knights among the Northern Legion’s heavy cavalry could withstand more than five of his attacks.

“Good, go then. I’ll take care of Uncle Carol!” Hearing this, George nodded.

“Retreat quickly!” Carol said, looking at the situation as well.

Seeing George and Allen safe, Carol had achieved his goal for this battle. To avoid further loss of troops, his priority was not personal grudges but the overall situation of the war.

It seemed that the Northern Legion was still holding off the Icebound Alliance’s forces, but their advantage in heavy cavalry attacks was gradually fading. Moreover, the Northern Legion’s troops had already entered the heartland of the Icebound Alliance. Under such circumstances, they were very likely to be surrounded by the enemy forces.

Over 300,000 troops surrounding 100,000, and with the encirclement happening on the battlefield, those 100,000 troops would likely be gradually worn down.

Sure enough, just as Carol spoke, an officer reported that the Icebound Alliance’s forces were moving toward the rear of the Northern Legion.

“Uncle Carol, don’t worry! It won’t take long to take down that guy!” Allen shouted. “Besides, Uncle Carol, I won’t be at peace until I kill that man!”

“Very well, go quickly!” Carol said to Allen.
“Send orders! Light cavalry and infantry, make way—we’re retreating!” Carol ordered right away.
Just as Carol gave the order to retreat, Allen, wielding his long spear, soared through the air toward the ninth-level expert who had injured Carol!
He stepped through the air as if it were solid ground. When he was about twenty meters away from the ninth-level expert, stars began to shimmer all over his body!
With a swift thrust, his mental energy locked tightly onto the ninth-level expert, and he launched his spear attack!
Seeing Allen’s spear aimed at him, the ninth-level expert immediately felt an unstoppable force rushing toward him.
This force posed a serious threat to him—like being hunted by a fierce beast—triggering a deep sense of fear.
Watching Allen move effortlessly through the air, the ninth-level expert realized he was facing a Saint-level warrior. Though there was no chance of winning against a Saint-level fighter, he had no way to retreat anymore!
At such close range, retreating meant certain death. Perhaps fighting desperately could give him a sliver of a chance to survive. How could the speed of a ninth-level fighter compare to that of a Saint-level warrior?
Realizing this, the ninth-level expert also raised his long spear, meeting Allen’s spear head-on with a fierce, violent thrust of his own!
From Allen’s spear tip, sparks of starlight continuously flowed out, resembling tiny meteors. These starlight-like energies rushed toward the spear thrust at the ninth-level expert.
Before the two spears collided, the starlight from Allen’s spear struck the opponent’s spear. Hit by those starlight-like forces, the ninth-level expert’s spear shattered like wood struck by an asteroid, breaking apart.
If this scene were slowed down or viewed through Du Fan’s True Eye, it would surely present a breathtaking sight—a beautiful display of violent beauty as spears shattered under the impact of those starlight meteors.

Allen’s spear tip never even came into contact with that of the ninth-level expert. As the long spear in the expert’s hand was destroyed, Allen’s spear pierced through the expert’s armor and plunged deep into his heart! With the spear driving in, despair flashed in the expert’s eyes as he faced death. With that look of despair, Allen shook his spear violently, sending the expert’s body flying high into the air! By the time the expert fell back to the ground, he was completely lifeless. At that moment, the Northern Legion began to withdraw in an orderly manner. During the attack, the heavier cavalry at the back faced fewer enemies—especially those at the very back, who practically rode their horses leisurely, as all the fighting was done by the cavalry ahead. Now that the army was retreating, the light cavalry and infantry stepped aside, and the rear cavalry moved to the front, allowing their offensive advantage to be utilized once again! The cavalry who had been at the back and hadn’t fought felt frustrated, but now that they were moved to the front, these battle-hardened soldiers became fierce as demons. Shouting loudly, they spurred their horses forward and charged at the dense ranks of the Icebound Alliance army! Flying to the front of the troops, Allen summoned the Frost Armor Beast, and together they became the vanguard of this charge, swiftly breaking through the Icebound Alliance’s defenses. The combined force of the Frost Armor Beast and Allen was unstoppable! Moreover, the Northern Legion, having already accomplished their goal of rescuing people, was even more confident! Under George’s protection, Carol was unlikely to face any further danger. With a large group of guards surrounding her, anyone who tried to harm her would have to carefully assess their own strength—otherwise, even a Saint-level warrior might pay a heavy price if trapped by the cavalry. “Brother Moses! We should leave too!” Du Fan said to Moses after seeing the soldiers of the Northern Legion beginning to retreat and knocking another bizarre monster away with a powerful punch. “Good! These guys are really tough! Let’s go first!” Moses replied promptly upon hearing Du Fan’s words. Even with the advantages of the battlefield, these six Saint-level experts still made Moses’s situation extremely perilous.

It’s not surprising. Initially, Xiong Tingbi was just a master of the Sacred rank. By merging with a magical beast, he was able to deal a slight setback to Du Fan, who was already a strong figure in his domain. These six Sacred rank masters are clearly no less powerful than Xiong Tingbi. Moreover, judging from the quality of the magical beasts they’ve signed contracts with, they must be of a higher rank than the Earth Bear! Super magical beasts like dragons and phoenixes, which can evolve into divine beasts, further demonstrate that these Sacred rank masters are even more formidable than those from the Xiong Kingdom.

Fortunately, Moses had greatly improved his cultivation last time and reached the threshold of a divine-level master. Otherwise, he might really not have been able to hold his own in today’s battle.

“Want to leave? That’s not so easy!” Hearing Du Fan say he wanted to leave, Long Zhan roared loudly. With his roar, a golden beam of energy shot out from his hand. Seeing Long Zhan’s action, the other Sacred rank masters, who were still fighting Moses, also emitted beams of energy of various colors.

Seeing this surge of energy about to converge again, Du Fan cursed fiercely, “Again!”

Clearly, after the restraining magic array was broken, these six Sacred rank masters wanted to form another one! Just as Du Fan moved to attack one of the masters who hadn’t yet emitted energy, that strange-looking magical beast screeched and rushed over again!
