Chapter 549 - Formation vs. Formation
After treating their injuries, the five junior captains started to take their rival seriously. They deployed a formation with the other guards.
The general of the guards troops hadn’t died after taking the attack from the eight groups of beings and the sword formation, but he was heavily injured. He took a panacea as quickly as possible to get his injury under control.
More weapons from the castle were aimed at Jiang Chen.
They saw the princess, who had been caught by Jiang Chen, was in danger when they were about to kill the latter with the strongest military power they had.
The junior captains and the general panicked instantly. They hurried to put down the weapons, which they had been about to shoot.
“So this is what you aimed for, to catch me, isn’t it?” the woman said unhappily after getting over the panic of being caught by Jiang Chen.
“Don’t move. We’re both in the preliminary stage of Martial Venerable, but it’ll be easy for me to kill you,” Jiang Chen said.
As his answer, Jiang Chen raised his sword slightly. The blade was pressed against the woman’s throat tightly. Given a good scare, the enemy hurried to do what he had told them.
Soon, with a strong energy fluctuation, all of the weapons in the castle were completely destroyed.
But Jiang Chen wasn’t completely satisfied. He said instead, “I don’t have time to play games with you. This woman’s life means nothing to me. You’re pushing me to do it.”
“Mister, what is this about?” the general said.
“There are top-level weapons embedded in the structure of the castle. Combined with the effect of wards and tactical formations, they make the whole castle an extremely destructive weapon,” Jiang Chen said.
The woman, squatting on the ground, couldn’t help but look up. She said in surprise, “How do you even know that?”
Such a secret was unknown even to many of the average guards.
“I have eyes,” Jiang Chen said. “What do you say? It’s your last chance.”
“Okay!”
The general of the guard troops knew it was impossible to trick the guy in front of him. He got to his feet and threw his fist out towards the castle.
A third of the walls were immediately destroyed, causing the castle to start falling apart. Of course, the weapons inside it were destroyed, too.
“That’s the right way to go,” Jiang Chen said.
“Can you let her go now?” a junior captain said unhappily.
“Of course. Do you really want to stay with her? Why don’t you surrender?” Jiang Chen’s anger was gone. He even smiled as he spoke.
The Red Flame Battalion had come back, hovering over the castle.
“You’re too greedy. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to leave?” The general was surprised that Jiang Chen wanted to take over. He was both shocked and angry.
There was no way he, a Spiritual Venerable, and five Martial Venerables, along with 100 elite guards, would be defeated by the Red Flame Battalion.
“Are you suggesting you want to challenge me in tactical formations?”
Jiang Chen certainly knew that, but he was still very confident, because he had more men! That was the only reason.
The Red Flame Battalion had almost 1,000 soldiers, while the enemy only had 100.
Although there was a huge gap between them in terms of individual strength, Jiang Chen’s formation could totally turn the tide.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen detected the woman saying something to the general through holy awareness.
Then he saw the general become resolute.
