Chapter 1247 1247. An Unexpected All-Out Battle

As Jack sent a message to John informing John of what he had seen, John also heard the sound and saw the dust cloud in the distance.

John was also puzzling about how the enemy had crossed the marshland unknowingly, but this was no time to wonder. He used the war table to hurriedly reorganize the troops' formation. Under his quick organizing, the Themisphere army formed a long line formation facing the incoming enemy.

Aldryth didn't have a war table so her commands were conveyed verbally. The Hydrurond army reorganized at a much slower pace compared to the Themisphere army.

John told her to just place her army at Themisphere's rear. Putting an army that was not controllable into the midst of his army would just cause chaos and upset his rhythm.

The Themisphere army numbered 1,000,000 troops. Out of this one million, 50,000 went with Jack to stop the enemy by the cliff's road. Aldryth commanded 800,000 troops.

As for the enemy coming at them along the sh.o.r.e of the marshland, it was comprised of 1,000,000 ethereal soldiers from Liguritudum and 700,000 zombie soldiers. The zombie soldiers were originally 900,000 strong. 200,000 had been intentionally delivered to Jack to make it seem as if they had fallen for John's trap.

While everyone was wondering where the Aurebor army was, the elven soldiers showed themselves out of the woodland in the east. The woodland was the direction where Aldryth should go if she was to go to Lefkauselis. The Aurebor army had not only come attacking from an unexpected angle, but their position also cut Aldryth's escape path.

The Aurebor army numbered 1,200,000 elven soldiers.

"Queen Aldryth! Have your army engage the Aurebor army!" John instructed.

Aldryth complied with the request and had Dytess relayed the order. The troops started moving. But it was clear they were in a mess. Everything had happened too suddenly. There was not enough time to organize.

Within Liguritudum's force, they saw World Maker's guild army as well. The same went for Aurebor's force. World Ruler's guild army followed from behind.

"Summon our guild army!" John commanded Tip.

Tip immediately carried out the command and used Everlasting Heavenly Legends' guild army summoning crystal. The command platform appeared before Tip and he immediately a.s.sume control of it.

"Where should I put our guild army?" Tip asked.

"Next to our guild members," John answered. "d.a.m.n it to h.e.l.l. It's an all-out battle now. Have the guild army follow Jeanny, but pay attention in case I need you to change target!"

John glanced at the Hydrurond army. He hoped they could hold the Aurebor army long enough while he dealt with the Liguritudum and zombie armies.

"Hurry! Hurry! We have to go back!" Jack ordered. He and the soldiers he led had been rus.h.i.+ng back through the road.

Emris and the other officers with flying ability had flown back to support the main army under Jack's order. Jack wanted to transform into a supreme dragon and flew back too, but he needed to use his runestone of marching to boost the movement speed of these 50,000 soldiers under him.

The road was too winding and narrow for their size, though. So, they couldn't rush as fast as they wanted. The terrain that they had used against the enemy had now come back to bite them.

Suddenly, a rumble was heard as a ma.s.s of rocks fell from above the cliff.

"Look out!" Jack was among the first to notice these falling rocks.

He cast Magic Wall and placed the spell above him. He put the magic wall slightly at an angle. The rocks. .h.i.tting this magic wall were sent rolling into the chasm by the side of the road.

Soldiers with fast reflexes managed to respond like Jack. Mages cast defensive spells or shot their spells at these incoming rocks. Paladins used their s.h.i.+elds to defend themselves. Ancient champions used their weapons to smack the rocks away.

But the incident had been too sudden. Many rocks still fell among the soldiers and caused damage. Some even caused the soldiers to stumble by the road's edge and fall to their death into the marshland below.

While they were wondering what had caused this rockfall, they heard another rumble and saw another wave of rockfall.

"There are enemies above!" Jack exclaimed.

His two hands exploded into multiple sword lights, striking and deflecting the rocks that fell above him.

After defending against this second wave, Jack used his King Badge and companion badge. He summoned Arlcard and all his royal agents. He had left his royal agents behind in Themishere so they could continue to grow by doing quests while the army was marching.

"Duke, you are in charge! Take the troops here and go help the main army!" Jack commanded. Duke Aldredo acknowledged the command.

Arlcard needed no prompt, he looked at the armies that were about to engage each other in the distance and flew over. It was a good place to reap exp points. He was currently level 73.

Jack then used his beast form and flew up. Up there, he saw some people. They were players!

He also saw several contraptions holding piles of rocks. The players were operating one of these contraptions which released a third wave of rockfall. From the number of contraptions, these players could release another four waves of rockfall.

'These were prepared! Our plan to ambush at this place was already known!' Jack came to a realization.

*BANG!*

Jack summoned his magic s.h.i.+eld just as a gunshot was heard. A bullet struck his conjured s.h.i.+eld.

He looked at the attacker and saw that it was Ronald Dreary, one of the heavenly enforcers. Not only he, but Spring Crown and Long were also there.

"Hey, champ," Spring Crown greeted.

The players who were activating the rockfall contraption were going to trigger the fourth rockfall. Jack wasn't going to just let them do that.

Jack didn't bother to hold back. He used Lightning G.o.d Barrage.

The twenty lightning b.a.l.l.s headed to the players who were operating the contraptions. The three heavenly enforcers moved away to avoid being caught in the blast.

Normal players won't be able to survive Lightning G.o.d Barrage. In one move, Jack took out all those players. No one would be able to operate the contraptions now except the three heavenly enforcers. The three didn't seem to have the intention to operate the contraptions, though. They just stood there and waited for Jack to approach.

Jack glanced at his troops on the road below. They suffered some casualties, but not too significant. The troops were currently marching back to the plains to join the main army following his order.

Seeing that those troops were okay, he flew toward the heavenly enforcers.

Two out of the three were melee cla.s.ses, Jack was musing about giving them an unfair fight by just attacking them using ranged attacks from the sky. This would be easier and safer, but it would also be slower. Jack didn't want to waste his time with them. He wanted to finish them fast so he could join the battle on the plains.

So, he landed in front of them.
