nThe red spot appeared on top of the whole group of people.

nThis one is large enough to cover all of them.

nThe leader of the group who is encouraging the subordinates until then, suddenly felt like his soul left his body.

n

"AAAAAAARRHHHHHHH…

"

n

"NOOOOOOO…..

"

n

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh….

"

nScreams came from all around him. Even though the effect on him was not that high, he felt pained by the massive screams that they are letting out. He can understand how much pain they must be in to scream like this.

nHe wanted to encourage them to pull through but was unable to.

nHe looked at the red spot around him which is the only thing he could see and suddenly, he was shocked by the revelation that he could see the red spot. He looked at the yellow area around them and decided to make a move.

n

"Troops, right turn. All of you. And forward march.

"

nHe said as he took a right turn and marched forward. The troops who are in incredible pain, gritted their teeth as they all turned to the right and marched forward in an orderly manner.

nSivan who created the large red spot observed the movements of the dots and felt surprised.

n

"Why are they not scattering everywhere? Why are their movements so orderly?

"

nHe muttered to himself as he moved the red spot over to them to change their direction.

nWhen the leader saw the spot coming from a different direction, he decisively ordered his soldiers to take another turn and marched forward again.

nLike this without even knowing, they came far away from their original post and are very near the entrance. All of the guards near the entrance are gone, the whole space is empty at the moment. The troops marched forward through the entrance.

nWithin a few minutes, they are already at the border of the light chamber and continued to march outside.

nWhen the leader of the troops felt the cold breeze on his face and the normal light around him. He felt like a brand new world opened up to him.

nHe marched forward along with his troops and all of them cheered.

n

"Finally, we are out of that hell hole. I don't want to go back again.

"

n

"Yeah, I would rather die than go back in there.

"

n

"Me too. Death is so much better than that torture.

"

n*SWISH* *STAB*

nA spear flew and landed in the back of the third person and everyone turned silent. Then only they remembered that the outside is not really that safe.

nThey also thought of the impossibility of the situation. They are posted at a very specific spot away from the city gate.

nHow is it possible for them to coincidentally march from within the estate to the exit the gate?

nIn fact, that is what the leader was thinking when one of his subordinates died.

n

"Everyone, get ready for battle.

"

nHe immediately called out and when the next spears came, he waved his hands. A massive earthen wall surrounded the troops as the bunch of spears were held back from dealing with his troops.

nHe felt the spears stabbing into the wall and estimated the direction from which the attacks are coming.

n

"Ranged attackers. Get into positions.

"

nThe soldiers who were suffering a few minutes and cheering a few seconds ago are suddenly serious. They got into positions and held their ranged weapons.

nThe leader closed his eyes and he opened small gaps in between the wall.

nThe soldiers shot their attacks through them.

nFlaming arrows, water spears, Ice shards, lightning spears. All kinds of ranged attacks came out of that one place and they flew in the air.

n*BOOM* *BAM* *SPLASH* *BAM*

nExplosive sounds of many levels came as they landed at different spots. The ambush teams that are placed all around the area were stunned. They didn't expect a counterattack like this.

nAfter all, until now they managed to kill every person that came out pretty easily.

nThat is because everyone that came out is, exhausted, suffering, and went through a lot. But now the leader is quick to think on his feet and take action. He didn't even give a proper chance to the ambush team.

nBut it didn't matter to the ambush team. Because their team also consisted of something that could deal with that level of the person.

n

"We need an Astral Plane Middle stage cultivator. As soon as possible.

"

nOne of them spoke on their team's channel and soon someone came. A robust barbarian man carried a battle hammer as he jumped around.

nHe came running and took a huge leap while swinging his hammer downwards on the earthen barrier.

n*BOOM*

nAn explosive sound that was followed by cracks broke the barrier and the rest of the soldiers were thrown off a bit. The ambush team got ready as they threw the spears at the soldiers once again.

nWhen the leader was about to protect them again, the barbarian swung his hammer, completely stopping his process.

nThe leader felt a bit overwhelmed as he tried to combat the barbarian while trying to save his soldiers.

nThe only silver lining is that the situation is not as bad as he expected it to be. After the initial shock and surprise are gone from the not-so-successful ambush, the soldiers managed to fend for themselves.

nNow the ambush team doesn't have many options, other than direct combat.

nThe battle started and it became intense very soon.

nEven though the leader of the troops did a great job at the start by playing defense and fending off the barbarian, soon he was overwhelmed.

nBecause he has been enduring hell inside the light chamber for a long time. He expended a lot of energy trying to combat that heat and burning sensation. In fact, his skin is still hurting from the burns that were caused inside.

nNow, he has to combat against someone who is much stronger than him in terms of pure physical prowess at close range.

nIt would be surprising if he didn't feel overwhelmed.

nBut his defense is still very strong, The barbarian soon felt frustrated and decided to change his tactics, he turned to one of the soldiers on the side and swung his hammer at them.

nThe leader immediately went to block it.

nThe hammer suddenly changed the direction mid-way and it slammed straight at the head of the leader.

nHe took the hit directly at its full force and fell to the floor.

nRight when the barbarian was about to finish it off all of a sudden a bunch of golems popped out of the earth.

nThe golems pulled the barbarian's legs forcefully and made him fall to the ground.

nThe same thing happened to the other subordinates of the Mari clan. The ambush team was ambushed by dozens of golems that came out of nowhere.

nThe barbarian swung his legs and fists around as he tried to destroy the golems. It worked. The golems were destroyed with just a single swing. The difference in power is way too much.

nBut it didn't help him. Because the golems just kept on coming. They completely overwhelmed him with the numbers.

nBefore long, the whole area is surrounded by the golems and they all started bashing the opponents one by one.

nThe leader of the troops took this chance to recover a bit. He was stunned by what was in front of him. This is completely unexpected, but the surprise soon turned into delight as he joined the battle. The golems as if they knew he is coming made their way and helped him deal with the barbarian directly.

nThe barbarian was killed and so was the rest of the ambush team. They were all trapped in the middle of hundreds of golems, even if they want to escape now, it is impossible to do.

nAt this moment, Sivan who is already trying to pick the next target for his red spot was suddenly disturbed by a subordinate.

n

"Sir, three ambush teams are dead. One of the special soldiers that went forward is also dead. The golems came back and they are surrounding Gaja city. They are creating a circle around it and they are running around randomly as if they are looking for something.'

nSivan was stunned and ran out of the room. He might have the remote formation in his tent, but that only works when he wants to take a look at the city.

nEverything outside of the light chamber range is completely invisible in the formation.

nAvlyn also followed him and when they came out, they were stunned by the sigh. The golems are everywhere.

n

"What the **?

"

nAvlyn cursed out loud.

n

"It seems like they are using the remaining lava worms.

"

nSivan said with gritted teeth. He thought of the dot that moved all over and stayed in the tower. He felt that the tower might be the reason, why things are going like this.

nHe immediately ran inside and wanted to do something to the person that ran into the tower.

n
