Chapter 1550: Engage

Sivan took at the massive energy curtain falling towards them and gave out a signal.

A bunch of soldiers that are placed in various positions of the formation started moving around and took out some small bird puppets that flew towards the energy curtain that is coming at them.

The birds reached the curtain when it is still a good distance away and started throwing energy ripples into the surroundings.

All the energy ripples propagated at a rapid pace.

The energy lines that formed the curtains became unstable and the curtain connection was gone. The energy spheres became normal energy spheres.

The augmentation in the explosion is gone because of the absence of the curtain connection.

Now they are just normal explosives. But they are still dangerous.

Dangerous to the point that they created dents in the formation that the Mari clan is walking forward in.

The Peak stage Consummate cultivators that are following the troops from behind closely monitored the movements.

They looked at the peak stage cultivators of the Gaja clan that are standing in various positions on the wall.

Even though small fries are currently fighting, the tension between these peak stage cultivators is somehow gathering more attention from most of the soldiers.

In fact, they are more afraid of getting caught in the battle with these powerhouses than dying on the battlefield.

So, they are extremely anxious and cautious about it.

While that is there, the second most eye-catching thing is the poison bombs that are dropping on them. Sivan is the only one who is completely unbothered about the poison harming him. Sam's body has its perks after all.

But he is still bothered by the high level of struggle his soldiers are going through.

He needs them to barge into the city and battles it out with the soldiers

Still, he didn't dare stop or slow down.

He just ordered them to defend themselves and move forward.

They just pushed through and endured all the damage that is caused by the poison and the explosions.

Some of the soldiers died, some of them are injured, but most of them are safe. Of course, some of them are partially affected by poison as well. But they took some high dosage of medicine and just took it in the stride as they moved forward.

In fact, instead of slowing down, they increased their speed after they reached the range of sphere cannons.

Sam looked at all of this and issued a command.

"The first batch of the troops, ready to intercept. But before that, release the beast legions in three minutes."

"Yes, Sir."

After three minutes, the clan gates opened up and a large horde of beasts was released. By then Mari clan already reached the barrier and they all started attacking it.

Regular attacks are not really doing much, but the peak stage cultivators started intervening here.

They broke the barrier in the five hits in which the beast horde reached the soldiers and cultivators, while the dome formation within the city is activated.

The large energy sphere appeared in the middle of the city and it started creating a massive commotion.

All of the bird-type puppets were released.

They are so many and they moved in groups that they almost gave a sense that a cloud covered the sky when they are flying over the troops.

Sivan who is on the harbinger looked at Sam who is standing on the wall of the city. He swung the executioner sword at the bird-type beasts that are coming at him as he tried to make his way toward Sam.

The battle became intense again.

After the beasts started entangling the enemies, the bird-type puppets started shooting the targeting bullets that are attracting the energy beam attacks from the sphere in the city.

They acted like sniper attacks and even if some people managed to dodge them, the beam attacks are acting as good killers as well as disruptors of the formation.

Sam looked at the battles going on and took a deep breath.

"Are the first batch of troops ready?"

"Yes, they are."

Sam frowned as he heard a familiar voice.

"Giyon? Why are you answering this?"

"Because she took over a squad in the first group?"

"Grivon? What the fuck are you doing out there? You are one of the lowest level cultivators within this whole battle. You might just die out there. Do you understand that?"

"Of course, I do. But that doesn't mean anything."

"What the fuck is wrong with you guys? You do know that you have better things to do than dive firsthand into the battle right? I get it that you want to prove yourselves, but you are needed to command and guide your subordinates.

That has a large impact here."

"Well, we are sitting too idle and cannot find another way to have some fun. So, we are going. Don't worry, we will be listening to all of your commands. Don't need to hold back."

Sam sighed. He looked at Gail who is standing far away and wanted to contact him and ask him to convince them. But after some thought, he decided against it.

He cannot just control everyone's decisions. Particularly in his current situation. He had a mutually beneficial relationship with them. He cannot step too much out of the line.

But on second thought, he still contacted him.

"Grivon and Giyon are going as part of the first batch of soldiers, you might want to keep an eye on them."

Gail frowned and cut the call before calling Giyon. Sam looked at him and he could immediately tell that he is having some heating conversation with her.

So, he left them to it.

He shifted his focus back to the battle and looked for the perfect timing.

Only after five minutes when the troops from the Mari clan are adjusting to the energy beam attacks and the beasts, Sam called the subordinates.

"The first batch. Go."

The gate opened up again and all of them left immediately. The battlefield had already become very chaotic.

Giyon who entered the battle felt extremely excited.

"Grivon, you better stay with my squad. You being here is already dangerous enough. So, if you leave my squad, I am going to call Uncle Gamin and he will bring you back."

"Stop threatening me with my Dad, I am not a little kid."

"Of course you are. You act like one."

As she spoke, she leaped forward and engaged with an earth elemental armor user. Grivon stuck close to her and acted as support to her subordinates who are dealing with other soldiers.

Giyon broke the neck of the armored soldier and moved past him as she attacked another meteor squad member.

Grivon who is on the weaker side mostly stayed as support and used poison to target the stronger enemies, but also tried to take care of the mercenaries around.

When the troops of the Mari clan are once again getting used to the situation, Sam finally released something else. His specter and all the souls the specter is holding in it.

The souls are attacking individually instead of possessing any puppets or golems they are solely there for direct attacks on the stronger opponents which will distract them and leave a chance for the soldiers of the Gaja clan to defeat them.

The battle progressed. The shooters also joined in with soon the elders also partaking in the whole thing.

The Mari clan has more members, but the Gaja clan's extra preparations with the energy beams are very useful in creating a balance.

Sam kept a clear eye on Giyon and Grivon on that chaotic battlefield, while he looked at them.

There is another batch of the soldiers waiting to join and he would be joining the battle then. But before that, he has to make sure that Giyon and Grivon shouldn't be recognized by the Mari clan.

They are way too many sensitive targets to be recognized.

But as soon as he thought of this, he felt like he jinxed the whole thing.

Because at this exact moment, Grivon who was weak and playing in the big leagues was targeted by two elites and a few mercenaries.

The elites immediately caught him and blocked off Giyon's squad while the mercenaries wanted to kill him as his poison is being too much of a pain in the ass.

He tried his best to escape and use his escape transference token, but he was caught off guard and couldn't move.

Giyon immediately made her move and attacked the elites.

Her punch was met by another woman who is wearing the earth armor. She had perfect fusion and morphed her body into quick sand like texture as she sucked the fists into her body.

Giyon was stunned and used her ripple energy to get out of it. But the opponent is quick enough to move to the side and held Giyon's arm in a lock making her be caught off guard.
