Especially after nightfall, the climate in the Black Desert became increasingly harsh, with frequent gusts of wind whipping up sand and stones and wreaking havoc on the flat terrain.Isaac's journey became more challenging, but the advantage was that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Kingdom of Easteria couldn't detect him several miles up in the sky.He was unable to see what was happening below due to the harsh conditions at high altitude.In this way, Isaac flew toward the northwest for three days. By this point, his internal spiritual energy was greatly depleted, so he started cautiously descending in altitude.He wasn't certain if he had gotten past the Black Tiger Legion's blockade. Moreover, he needed to descend quickly to find a place to recover his spiritual energy.After passing through the clouds, Isaac saw below a series of mountain ranges that looked like winding, raised lines under the setting sun.Here he was!The hilly region was where Zeno and his 3
Lucifer never imagined he would see Isaac here.Isaac nodded slightly toward Lucifer but didn't say anything. He then turned his attention back to Zeno, who was seated at the main seat."Are all the generals present?" Zeno slowly got up, his gloomy gaze sweeping across each person's face."Yes, everyone has arrived," said the bearded man standing in front, bowing his head.Zeno suddenly pointed at Isaac. Facing the dozen or so generals before him, he shouted sternly, "Look closely. Take a good look at this man!"He came here from the Kingdom of Vriweth, passing through the Kingdom of Northwing."Even a convicted prisoner, who is going to earn his redemption, could break through the defenses of the Black Tiger Legion. We have strong forces. But why are we trapped here?"Isaac squinted. Initially, he had no idea why Zeno had gathered all the generals together. It seemed like Zeno wanted to use him as an example to teach those generals a lesson.The dozen or so generals in charge
Zeno was stunned. The nine generals and the five commanding generals immediately turned to look at Lucifer."Commander Schmidt, you said it yourself. He's willing to lend me the soldiers," Isaac said, turning to Zeno."Haha, great! Lucifer, I didn't expect you to be so decisive!"The surrounding generals looked at Lucifer as if they were looking at an idiot. They wondered how this rapidly rising general ended up being so stupid."You all can leave now. Lucifer stays." Zeno waved. Then, he turned away and no longer looked at the others."Turn right from the main camp and go 500 feet. My squad is over there. Use my badge to get the men," When Isaac walked over, Lucifer took out his badge and whispered to him.Isaac took it, left the main camp, and gently ascended into the air, heading slowly to the right.All around, he could see clumps of soldiers sitting on the ground, each one looking listless and dispirited. Some were chatting in small groups, and some were even playing with i
"What's the problem?" Lucifer frowned as he looked at Isaac.From a war perspective, he essentially lacked experience. He only thought Zeno was incapable. As a commander, he led an army of 500,000 and ended up with 300,000 soldiers left. In the end, they were trapped in this valley."He did it on purpose," Isaac said after pondering for a long time.Lucifer's eyes widened in disbelief. "H-how is this possible? Did he not take the lives of hundreds of thousands of people seriously?"Isaac pointed outside. "I looked on my way here. The terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Black Tiger Legion, which has surrounded you guys with half a million soldiers, needs to be spread out around these two mountains."Even if heavy soldiers are stationed all around the valley, Zeno can find a way to break through with 300,000 soldiers."Outside lies the vast wilderness. It's flat and expansive. If 300,000 soldiers have split into several groups heading toward the southern and
Upon hearing that, Cordero and Lachlan turned to look at Isaac in surprise.They admire Lucifer for his fearless spirit and his fair treatment of subordinates. But they didn't expect Isaac to be this formidable!Isaac glanced at Lucifer, signaling him not to mention those things.He looked at the two kneeling people and said sternly, "You claim that heavy armor is essential for survival. That's complete nonsense.""In battles, there has never been a surefire way to guarantee survival. If you have to point to something, it's strength and aura."The Black Desert is completely flat except for a few mountains in this area. How can any of you run with heavy armor weighing dozens of pounds?""If you can't run, the enemy will attack you with weapons. Can heavy armor save your life?"Isaac posed two questions, leaving Cordero and Lachlan staring at each other wide-eyed. They realized that it seemed to make sense."Cordero, come here."The latter stood up, walked over to Isaac, and bow
Madd was a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man. When Isaac appeared above the camp, Madd was one of the five people who flew up to question him.He and Barlow and another short-necked general, Adler Villin, were clear that Isaac was more powerful than them.Barlow dared to mock Isaac because they all knew from Zeno that Isaac was a prisoner sent by Eldorado. Moreover, Zeno was the commander."Lucifer, why are you here? You just received punishment. Shouldn't you be resting in your tent?" Madd squinted as he looked at Lucifer."General Pedersen, I have an urgent matter to report," Lucifer said with a respectful and serious bow.Madd knew that Lucifer, whom he had promoted, wouldn't come here for no reason. Lucifer was different from others, who liked curry favors."What's the matter?"Lucifer glanced at the other two commanding generals, wanting to speak but holding back."They're not outsiders. Just speak it," Madd said, frowning slightly.Lucifer frowned and said deeply, "The
Madd said seriously, "You'd better inform all the generals to be cautious."Seeing his serious expression, Barlow and Adler were stunned. Madd was a commanding general with outstanding military achievements in the Kingdom of Vriweth. Eldorado highly regarded him.Even though Madd took this matter seriously, Barlow scoffed. "Between Commander Schmidt and that criminal, I trust Commander Schmidt more."Black Tiger Legion wouldn't dare to attack us at this time!"After speaking, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked out of the main camp.For the next day, Isaac stayed in Lucifer's tent for both meals and sleep. He had dispatched 200 scouting teams. But so far, only a dozen or so had returned without bringing back any useful information.The next morning, Zeno left his large camp, accompanied by a few close guards. He prepared to inspect the soldiers.As he looked up, he noticed many figures from the Purple-Blue Legion busily doing something on the hillside to his left.
Things had already gone beyond Isaac's expectations. The spies he sent out hadn't returned yet, but the Black Tiger Legion's surprise attack had arrived ahead of schedule.It had shifted from being proactive to being passive.Lucifer swiftly put on his helmet and took his long sword. Surging with spiritual energy, he strode out of the tent.At this moment, 300,000 soldiers in the valley felt the ground shaking. It was getting stronger, almost like an earthquake.The Purple-Blue Legion in the valley looked around. In the pitch-black night and a raging storm, the ordinary soldiers, who weren't strong, couldn't see what was happening in the distance.Several waves of spiritual energies rippled outward. Madd, along with two other commanding generals, instantly rose into the air, standing 30 feet high and surveying their surroundings.There had been no report of enemy attack from the outposts stretching over six miles from the north and south ends of the valley into the Black Desert.
