Despite Edward’s insistence, he was, in truth, wary of it all deep down. After all, there were close to 200,000 people over there, and they must have had strong fighting prowess as they survived the hunt of the Bloodshed Clan disciples. At the very least, there should be a large number of them in the true god level while not many of them are in the semi-god level.
On top of that, many of these people must have broken through into the First or Second-stage ultimate god level. This was a force to be reckoned with.
The only thing he wanted to do was to kill Austin—who stood before him—so he could kill the other Nine Armies' masters in the Ninth-grade ultimate god level. In that case, they would have the upper hand
against these masters.
Thoom!
Wounded by Edward's frantic attacks, Austin began to falter. He looked toward the forest as he fought, hoping that those people would arrive sooner to help him.
It then dawned on him as he waited, noticing that the army-though plenty in number-flew painfully slow toward them.
"For goodness' sake! First Fortress Master, why are they coming so slowly?" One of the fortress masters could not bear it anymore. Already injured, he felt a pang as he watched the Bloodshed Clan disciples kill members of his fortress, one after another.
"How would I know? I'm not one of them. Are they not helping us?" replied Austin.
Bang!
The moment he said that, Edward quickly threw a fist at him, sending him flying backward.
"Urfh!" Austin vomited a mouthful of blood at the attack, and his complexion immediately paled.
"First Fortress Master!" Several elders grew visibly horrified at the sight of everything that happened.
"Ella, why are those people coming so slowly toward us? Several tens of thousands of our people have already died, and right now, there are only eighty thousand of us left. The Bloodshed Clan still has sixty thousand people!" Hendrick, who was fighting with all his strength, felt deeply anxious at the sight of more of his comrades dead.
The people from Pavilion Billow Cloud had not arrived, and if this continued, people of the Nine Armies would truly be doomed.
On top of that, it looked like the First Fortress Master could no longer tank any more attacks.
"I don’t know. They're probably hesitant but want to know what's happening here, what with all the battles that's happening right now." With a bitter smile, Ella said to Hendrick, "On top of that, we didn't send any people to help them, so they might not help us."
A darkened look appeared on the faces of the Nine Armies’ members when they heard what Ella said.
All this time, members of the Nine Armies thought that the Bloodshed Clan dared not take any action against them as they had more people. At that very moment, they finally learned that their overall combat power truly was inferior to the Bloodshed Clan.
