Chapter 1609: 975: The Prelude to the Final Battle Unveiled

"???"When they heard what the soldier said, everyone present was filled with question marks.

What is this all about? Is everyone’s topic jumping around so much?

"The enemy launched an assault? From where? We are in the rear guard." Golden Bishop frowned.

"They’ve charged toward Hepa Town, we haven’t received any notification, could it be that the frontline troops are all dead?" someone said.

Meanwhile, Hevi closed his eyes and released his perception, and in the next instant, he stood up with a sound and rushed out.

"It’s true!"

There were plenty of people with sharp perception present, and when they released their perception, what flooded into their minds was the overwhelming malice like a tsunami!

To be able to gather such magnitude of malice and killing intent, the coming enemy is at least at the scale of an army!

All the rebel army personnel rushed out, each one’s face carrying an expression of disbelief.

Luluwo turned and exchanged a glance with Leon, saying, "Let’s go out and have a look too."

Leon nodded, but as adventurers, they neither needed nor had any reason to join this war.

The assistance provided by the rebel army to the adventurers was always a clear-cut transaction without any sense of obligation, plus this was Scameroon’s civil war, which also involved the Holy Light Church spread across the continent. The rebel army didn’t require them to participate, and these adventurers from foreign lands had no reason to join in.

"Maru, you go over to the square and ask everyone to evacuate quickly and enter Sain."

"Got it, boss!"

When Leon walked out of the conference hall, he saw that Hepa Town had already entered a state of war, with soldiers moving around under command everywhere. Even the well-trained rebel army soldiers were briefly caught in minor chaos due to the sudden attack, let alone the other people in the town.

The local residents, gathering merchants, temporarily staying adventurers... all were looking for safe places to hide. Thankfully, the Sain Dungeon exists, and most of them could enter this absolutely safe place relative to the war.

But there were always some who had entered once already that day and couldn’t go in now; such people were not small in number, and soldiers were directing them to enter refuge buildings, with the order on-site not easily breaking free from chaos.

Leon looked up at the sky, large swathes of gloomy black clouds pressed over from the horizon, even the sun hanging high up seemed about to be engulfed.

"Such rich killing intent, how many people are coming?"

When he jumped onto the city wall and saw the scene outside the city, he couldn’t help but exclaim "Wow."

The scene was densely packed with people, as far as the eye could see were soldiers in armor bristling with weapons and killing intent, a moving flood of slaughter.

"So many people, how did they get here?" he couldn’t help murmuring to himself.

"I ask you, how did this group of enemies rush over here, what are the reconnaissance soldiers doing, did our frontline cities all die?" Wilderness Bishop grabbed the squad leader responsible for vigilance and roared.

"No, no, I don’t know, they just suddenly appeared...." the squad leader also looked like his brain had overloaded.

The previous moment was all well and good, around Hepa Town looked peaceful, how did it turn into this in the blink of an eye?

"They can’t have teleported here!"

"Which place besides the Sain Dungeon could teleport tens of thousands of people at once!"

Hevi stopped the frenzied Wilderness Bishop, waved his hand to let the squad leader leave, and said, "It’s unusual, saying those things now is useless, quickly mobilize our troops."

He looked at the terrifying sight of enemy forces at the city’s doorstep, his furrowed brow seemingly about to stand upright.

"This is... possibly the toughest battle we have ever faced."

The enemy, estimated to be at least fifty thousand strong.

Moreover, these fifty thousand hadn’t gone through any energy-consuming activities like marching, being in a state of complete energy fullness, perfect for a slaughter.

On Hepa Town’s side, there were roughly five thousand resident rebel army soldiers....

The surrounding cities have also sent their soldiers over to seize an opportunity in Sain’s upgrade, including these, the numbers barely reach seven to eight thousand.

With such numbers, there’s no point in facing the enemy head-on.

Considering this, Hevi felt slightly lucky his side was defending a city, which is less pressured than a flatland decisive battle.

Besides, it wasn’t certain his side would lose, the rebel army soldiers had trained in the Sain Dungeon, at least he dared say his soldiers’ average quality definitely surpassed the Three Great Religions.

"Immediately seek reinforcements from other cities, holding out until reinforcements arrive is our victory."

He gazed at the enemies outside the city, clenched his fist and said.

But why did he feel insecure inside?

If this were a normal war, the odds of winning or losing might be fifty-fifty for his side, but...

Why do the enemies outside the city feel off?

Tens of thousands of soldiers, during the march only emitted heavy footsteps and the clash of armor, without any conversation noises.

Even the most ordinary soldiers unprecedentedly donned full armor, their faces concealed by helmets making them impossible to discern, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say these people were war-driven puppets.
