Chapter 843 - Sudden Intervention
After all, soldiers knew nothing compared to generals. And so he started to watch his men pushing many to the ground and securing them using trapping arrays.
However he underestimated the leadership of the enemy in this world.
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
"Woosh!"
All of sudden many portals flashed before a large number of strong looking forces appeared. They weren't summoned here by anyone and they seemed to force themselves here.
"Damn it!" Amera read the situation as fast as Doaf. "They are trying to kill the hostages! Secure the leaders! Secure them with your lives!" Doaf screamed in rage while watching Amera turn into a ray of light.
Doaf didn't stand motionless as well. He knew this came all of sudden and out of his own expectations.
He never thought the enemy would be daring enough to show up his elite forces here and try to silence these leaders.
Even if they killed all and only one remained, that meant they failed.
Even if he had to gather up all his forces to secure a leader he wouldn't hesitate to do it.
But Amera had another opinion of her own.
As she moved so fast, she started to appear in many places in no time. Anywhere she appeared she clashed with those elites who suddenly appeared from the portals.
However, contrary to what everyone thought, she didn't aim to kill them. It didn't appear until later that she hit these elites and sent them towards one direction.
"The hidden world!!!" Doaf was shocked to see the flash of light caused by using her hidden world to trap those elites within. These elites could move freely here using portals, but once trapped inside that world of hers, no one could get out without her permission.
Despite this world wasn't like that of Arthur's, she had stationed forces inside just in case. The moment she threw those elites inside, it was the end for them.
No one would escape her clutches and they couldn't overrun the forces inside. Despite these forces lacking in numbers for now, Amera planned to use the help of Doaf and even Nicole and send large parts of their forces inside.
In the end of it, whoever entered that world of hers was doomed.
"Kill her!"
"Stop her!"
"Get rid off her now!"
As what she was doing became clear to foes and allies, shouts from these elites started to spread all over the place. They came here with the high advantage of the surprise attack.
They thought this mission was a piece of cake. However a single person turned everything on them. Amera's actions alone drove them crazy and managed not only to stop what they came here to do, but she also made things even worse for them.
They came directly from the hidden main base of the enemy forces in this world. Most of them knew many secrets, much more grave than any leader here would tell.
Capturing a single one of them was a great mistake to make, and now Amera captured dozens inside her world. This was a deadly mistake, one that their leaders wouldn't tolerate at all.
They were done for if they didn't handle the situation fast. The easiest and most effective way was through killing Amera and disposing of her control over that world.
They would lose their comrades, but in return they would maintain their lives.
However, that was easier said than done.
In fact, as they started to shout these orders and change their plans, Doaf led his forces to stop anyone from getting near Amera.
Amera herself didn't give them an easy time at all. She kept flying all around using her unparalleled speed to jump from one point to another without any pattern.
One moment she would appear at the far east, attacking a group of panicked elites and trap them all inside her world before she instantly vanished.
Then she would appear at the far north, then south, then east, then middle... and so on.
The sudden chaos caused by her unexpected actions didn't help but to make things much easier for her.
The elites lost their composure and their formation looked tattered. Their defenses were wide open now and Amera could easily hit anyone without much hustle.
And Doaf simply joined her in such a brave move.
As he watched what she did, he started to copy her. He didn't enjoy her speed but he was surrounded with capable forces.
Plus he wasn't a force to be reckoned with in the first place.
So even with no support of top speed like Amera, he wasn't reachable for his enemies.
Being attacked by two spear edges like this made the enemy more shaken. They tried to regroup and focus on one side first, Doaf's side.
However, regrouping their scattered forces with the presence of such monsters like Amera was literally impossible. Compared to Amera hit and run tactic, Doaf preferred to directly impact the enemy head on and aim towards the main group of them.
So no matter how hard they tried to regroup themselves, they were either ambushed by Amera or screwed by Doaf and his fierce forces.
In the end they couldn't help but vanish inside the portals they appeared from and leave this place with severe losses. Doaf stood side by side with Amera as he gazed upon the emptiness these enemies left behind.
"We shouldn't lower our guards," he said before turning his eyes towards the far away Nicole, "you should inform her as well."
"I need some of your guys," Amera said while taking a bird's wing and wrote a warning for Nicole, "I need to control those I took within."
"I'll give you fifty," Doaf said while his face showed a sly smile.
"You are stingy, even more stingy than... him..." she was smiling before her smile froze the moment she recalled Arthur. She took a deep breath while looking away, "give me five hundred."
"Two will be enough," Doaf whistled and in no time two hundred mages entered Amera's world to stabilize things inside.
He also sent another two hundred to his own world to maintain order there. Unlike Amera, he already exhausted all the forces inside.
On the contrary to Amera, he captured fewer enemies inside his world. So these two hundred were enough to control the hostages.
"We need to get into the sect," Amera slowly said, "I think this gain is enough for this war."
Doaf knew she was afraid of the enemy retaliation when news reached them. She had a point here that Doaf couldn't ignore, and thus he started to push everyone towards the sect.
The fight at the forefront was already at its dying breaths. As for the hostages they had from the enemy army, they simply let them move towards the sect without any intention of taking them inside their worlds.
It would be stupid to give those elite enemies forces to act as their wings and cause more trouble for them. Plus the cultivators of this sect proved their worth so far, and they could easily handle a few thousand hostages without any problem.
Plus the value of these hostages dropped the moment they captured the elite forces sent from the main base of the enemy.
