Suddenly, one of the soldiers stumbled, and the large barrel slipped out of their control.
"Oh, no!" The soldier cried out loud.
However, a steady hand was firmly placed on the rolling oil barrel, bringing its forward montum to a stop.
"Be careful. These are currently precious resources."
"Thank you, General Dales! I will be more careful next ti, sir!"
Brigadier-General Dales nodded and urged with an encouraging tone, "Keep up the good work!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers continued to roll the barrels to the designated spot.
anwhile, on the edge of the Great Wall's central region, the General Marquis and Supre Elder gazed down at the battlefield below.
"These Wingrats are endless." Supre Elder Haldir's brows furrowed deeply.
The number of Wingrats slaughtered already numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but their army showed no sign of reducing.
In the end, the wolves were too few in numbers. They were slowly being overwheld by the Wingrat's imnse numbers. For each wolf, there would be hundreds to a thousand Wingrats ganging on it.
"Wingrats, huh? Is that what you call them? However, these wolves will not last. We need to do sothing about these rats. There's too many of them." General Marquis Hendrick comnted before pondering deeply for a solution.
The Supre Elder nodded.
If the situation were already this bad, he could not imagine what the case was for the Wildlands and Great Forest. He needed to check on his tribe and could not stay for long.
As Supre Elder Haldir controlled the thorny vines to continue lacerating the Wingrats pouring out of the rathole, he thought out loud, "The Wingrats are only coming from the underground. If we can toss a great fire inside and plug up the rathole, we could suffocate them all to death."
"These Wingrats are pouring out of the rathole ceaselessly. It will be too difficult to put a good fire inside from there…" General Marquis stated before his eyes flickered with a solution. "However, it is easier to start it from the underground sewage system while they are still distracted by the wolves."
The underground passage was connected to the sewage system after the Wingrats burrowed their way through.
Even if they do not plan to smoke the rats, they had to seal that passageway. Otherwise, the endless tides of rats would pour into the Crawford Kingdom after they are done with the wolves.
"Then we better do it quickly. Those wolves won't last much longer." Supre Elder Haldir stated.
"Without a doubt."
General Marquis Hendrick nodded before roaring, "Attention, n!"
"Yes, General!"
The surrounding soldiers imdiately stopped and gave the General Marquis their rapt attention, awaiting further instruction.
"Change of plans. We will direct half of the fire and fuel resources to the central sewage system." General Marquis Hendrick said.
After that, he selected the strongest batch of surviving soldiers to follow him into the sewage system and locate the underground hole. Once he completed issuing his orders, he returned his attention to the Supre Elder.
"Please take care of things here, Marquis Haldir." General Marquis Hendrick requested.
"Naturally."
Supre Elder Haldir nodded.
General Marquis Hendrick left the Great Wall shortly after receiving the Supre Elder's confirmation.
Soti later, the Elder Gustavo and Young Master Judas arrived at the Great Wall. While they were flying high in the sky, they overlooked the situation below.
"It is as father predicted. It is not just the sea monsters that have beco frenzied. Even the beasts in the west have gone crazy. This ans that…"
Elder Gustavo nodded with a solemn look and said, "Right. These signs have confird it. The Cataclysm will indeed happen, and the world shall be plunged into a great upheaval once more."
"But we do know what kind of change the Cataclysm will bring to the world this ti. The last Cataclysm pushed forward the evolution of all beings while the one before that ended the world. This next Cataclysm could bring us good fortune. Of course, it could also be the end of all life."
"Well. Looking at this scene right now, does Young Master Judas think the Cataclysm will bring good fortune to humanity?" Elder Gustavo asked with narrowed eyes.
Judas Cortez frowned.
"It's too early to tell. In the beginning stages of the last Cataclysm, it was said that the beasts also went on a rampage—"
"However, that is the beginning stages of the Cataclysm after the world brightened from the sun's powerful solar flare. Right now, that had yet to happen, Young Master Judas." Elder Gustavo corrected.
"Listen to the High Priest's prediction. Nothing good will co out of this Cataclysm. Since we have already seen what we ca to see, we should return to the Cortez Fiefdom, Young Master Judas. I doubt the Overseer welcos our presence here that much."
"You don't want to lend these people a hand, Elder Gustavo?" Young Master Judas asked, feeling sowhat unwilling to return after going such a long way to reach the Great Wall.
It was the first ti he saw the Wildlands, even if he was only glimpsing at a small part of it from a distance.
Elder Gustavo shook his head.
"Why do we have to help them? They are doing fine on their own. Our intervention will only bring us unnecessary troubles."
"Didn't I cause so trouble back in the palace? I should make ands for my mistake by giving their people so help." Young Master Judas said, but there was no chivalrous glint in his eyes. Instead, there was only disdain when he looked at the weak humans below.
Elder Gustavo frowned imdiately.
"Please do not cause any more trouble for , Young Master Judas. Have you forgotten what you promised before we set out? Just because there are few Transcendents here, it does not an we can act as we please. The people above are ever watching." He lectured.
Elder Gustavo had seen Judas grow and knew what his character was like. Most likely, Young Master Judas only wanted to flaunt his strength in front of the people below.
However, they were only at the early stages of Preliminary Accession Transcendent Realm. This was nothing to boast about, much less in the Geyser Kingdom.
"Hm?"
Young Master Judas' attention was suddenly grabbed by sothing, causing him to turn his head to look. After a slight furrow, he imdiately smiled, "They can handle rats and wolves, but what if a Transcendent-level lion beast joins the fray? They will definitely need our help then."
"What do you an…?"
Elder Gustavo frowned, following Young Master Judas' gaze to see a 'lion' flying towards the Great Wall at shocking speed from a much lower altitude than them.
Since when could lions fly?
"Young Master Judas, that is not a Transcendent-level beast—!" Elder Gustavo tried to warn, but it was too late.
Judas Cortez had already flown over and shot a water slash directly at the 'lion.' The so-called lion was precisely Leon in his lion-headed cloak!
"Hm?"
The water slash was very fast!
In a short instance, the water slash closed most of the distance by the ti Leon realized sothing was shooting at him! However, a brief mont was all he needed to evade the attack!
Swoosh!
Space slightly distorted while Leon twisted his body slightly, allowing the water slash to zoom past him. Even so, the tips lion-head cloak was nipped slightly, but no real damage was done to his Enchanted Equipnt.
Leon's high-speed flight was brought to an abrupt stop before he looked up coldly.
"Unexpectedly, the person I was looking for would co throwing himself at ." Leon eyed the person above him with a sharp glint. Only the people he was looking, could fly so high up and with such ease as his mother had described.
The Tier 4 Bone Spear imdiately appeared in his grasp.
At the sa ti, Young Master Judas paused with surprise after Leon glanced up at him. Unexpectedly, it was a person and not a Transcendent-level beast.
"Wait. Hold up, this was a mistake—"
Swoosh!
Veins bulged on Leon's arm before he threw the Tier 4 Bone Spear at Young Master Judas without much care for what the person was saying.
Since the person wanted a fight, it was a fight he was going to get!
The bone spear zood through the sky, heading for Young Master Judas at a greater velocity than this own water slash!
"Young Master Judas, look out!" Elder Gustavo warned at the top of his lungs, rushing over quickly while knowing full well he would not make it.
"Sh*t!"
Young Master Judas cursed, sensing the threatening power of the bone spear shooting straight at him. He imdiately retreated while conjuring his best defense!
A wall appeared in front of him, spiraling at highspeed! Water Shield, it was one of the Water Awakener's most fundantal skill for defending!
However, the bone spear penetrated the Water Shield like paper! Young Master Judas widened his eyes in shock when the bone spear continued with great montum and directly pierce through his body armor!
"What?!"
Elder Gustavo's eyes imdiately bulged at the sight of the bone spear shooting straight through the young master's body armor.
That was a runic-enhanced armor!
By the ti Elder Gustavo reached Young Master Judas's side, a hole had been punctured through his stomach! Although it was not a fatal shot, it caused Young Master Judas' face to be pale.
"Young Master Judas, are you alright?" Elder Gustavo asked with concern.
Judas Cortez glanced down at the hole in his stomach dumbfoundedly. Since he was young, when had he ever suffered such a terrible injury?
His shock quickly transford into rage. His attack was a misunderstanding, but this person wanted his life! That was unacceptable!
He glared at Leon and furiously roared, "I'm going to kill you!"
