Chapter 1656: Chapter 952: Siege and Abandoned Pieces (Part 2)_1 Chapter 1656: Chapter 952: Siege and Abandoned Pieces (Part 2)_1 Facing Barlowâs lethal axe attack, Cole remained fearless, stating, âIt wonât be so easy to wipe us all out!â
As soon as the words left his mouth, Cole swung his sword to meet the attack, accompanied by a burst of intense sparks, once again blocking the opponentâs fierce onslaught.
However, it was evident from his movements in the two exchanges that Cole was at an absolute disadvantage.
This was not surprising. Although both sides wielded Tier 4 weapons of comparable quality, the fact that Cole, a Tier 4 Four Star fighter, was weaker than the Tier 4 Seven Stars Barlow, combined with the considerable amount of energy he already expended at the outset, made the outcome evident.
âI didnât expect you to be so tough, but thatâs about it!â
Looking at the determined Cole, Barlowâs face, full of murderous intent, accelerated his offensive, saying, âEven if you resist in the corner, it wonât change your fate to be abandoned!â
âAbandoned? If we can become the light that illuminates the way for our comrades, whatâs wrong with being abandoned?â
Despite knowing he couldnât win, Cole didnât back down an inch and swung his longsword, tracing a silver arc as he fought with the raging Barlow.
At the same time, in a burning alley, Buzzâs Sandersâs Army was retreating step by step.
Their opponents were not only the infantry legion of the Yorkman Clan, but also Lancasterâs Elite Legion led by Aubrey.
The strength of Buzzâs Sanderâs Army was at most only half that of Coleâs elite legion, if not just a third.
On the other hand, Aubreyâs overall strength was on par with Barlowâs, making the disparity evident.
Even though the Sandersâs soldiers were more tenacious than their opponents had expected, the massive difference in strength easily overcame any obstacles.
âHeh, as expected, theyâre just a bunch of weaklings who are still resisting.â
Aubrey squinted his eyes as he looked at the battlefield in the smoke-filled street, speaking leisurely, âWhat does it matter if that despicable Otherworlder secretly controls the Sanderâs Army in the city?â
âThe only result will be a quicker death for these guys.â
After saying this, Aubrey laughed heartily.
âWarriors of the Sanders Family, orderly retreat, and leave enough barriers and traps for the enemy!â
Buzzâs face was blackened by the smoke, gasping for breath.
He waved his magic wand continuously, drawing yellow arcs in the air and raising thick earthen walls along the road.
Even though the battle had only been going on for a short while, Buzz had no choice but to retreat and constrict their formation to reduce casualties and defend due to the opponentâs overwhelming offensive.
However, the newly raised earthen walls were soon shattered by the enemyâs various attacks, and the energy dissipated into the air.
With the barriers gone, the barrage of arrows and intense magic attacks rained on them like a storm, causing many soldiers to fall and scream in pools of blood.
âMr. Lane, have you really abandoned us?â
Drop by drop, sweat slid down Buzzâs blackened forehead, leaving streaks of black watermarks on his face.
The current situation was all too clear.
Without reinforcements in the face of the 200,000 enemy troops, the fate of these five legions was death.
âNo, Mr. Lane will not abandon us!â
As the fear on Buzzâs exhausted face disappeared, his determination returned.
Regaining his spirit, he directed his soldiers to set up barricades and retreat in an orderly manner while communicating the latest battle situation to Cole, Kowen, and the other two legion commanders via secret communication spells.
Upon learning that the situation was similar for the other four legions, Buzz calmed down and resolutely said to Cole, Kowen, and the four legion commanders, âDonât lose hope. Mr. Lane will surely save us!â
Since Aubrey and Barlow had deliberately set up communication barriers while attacking the five Sandersâs legions, Buzz and the others could only communicate with each other without sending messages out.
At the other end of the tense street battlefield, upon hearing Buzzâs cry, the four legion commanders who had previously lost hope rallied and fought back.
However, under Aubrey and Barlowâs relentless assault, the reality of the situation quickly crushed the legion commanders, including Buzz.
There were only 10 legions in the Central City Area, and the other five legions were undoubtedly held back by their opponents. Even if Mr. Lane wanted to rescue them, there were no available troops to do so.
After all, the enemy firmly controlled all the magic towers in the city and commanded the means to dispatch troops between the three city areas.
Under such circumstances, even if a deity appeared, it would be powerless to change the situation at hand!
