Chapter 2591: Shimmy
That bone snake was just the beginning.
From all sides, the snakes charged out, attacking people. The energy blasts were a completely new experience for most of the enemies and they were not prepared for such a weapon to be used against them.
No matter how much they attacked and what kind of tactics they used, they weren’t even able to make a dent on the bones.
In fact, forget about the bones, just the glowing runes that appeared whenever an attack landed just nullified most of the attack force.
There are some people at initial stage consummate state stationed there to supervise the attacks of lesser cultivators.
They saw the snakes run rampant in the army and realized that they really did underestimate their opponents a lot. And one of them, actually recognized that they are very screwed if they didn’t do anything.
So, he sent a message back to the base of operations.
"The weapons they prepared are too unique. From what I can sense they are Initial stage consummate beast bones. Just the inscription arrays not it are something out of this world and I mean it literally.
Definitely Sam’s handiwork.
We won’t be able to bypass them with just the transcendent level attacks. We might need to make a move ourselves."
A man in the base, another consummate peak stage cultivator. One of the few members who vowed never to fight Parth or this freaking war, but was pretty excited about logistics.
Shimmy as they call it. Powerhouses of one of the more neutral factions.
Shimmy had a huge wooden table in front of him, shaped exactly like the territory of the Hastin village along with the fields of battle they arranged to trap the powerhouses of Hastin village.
Shimmy wore a hat made of leather and looked at the board while playing with three round beads in his hands.
The beads stopped moving when he heard the message.
"Okay, good job, informing me kid. From now, I am gonna call you the Watcher.
You are going to answer to me and only to me from now on. You do not take anyone’s orders. Whether it is Myrmon, Shin, or even your own freaking grandmother coming out of her grave. Do you hear me?"
Watcher responded.
"Yes, sir. Whatever your orders are I will follow them."
"Good. Now, I want you to gather all the consummate stage cultivators from there and retreat immediately. Tell the transcendent cultivators and lower level people to be on defensive.
I have already given them brief on certain defensive tactics. Tell them they need to use the tactic 7. Keep on using it until I say otherwise." Shimmy replied
Watcher was skeptical about the order and was even a bit unwilling. But he just agreed and all the consummate stage cultivators just went back without making a word.
The rest of the army, which was very aggressive since the start calmed down and retreated. The snakes didn’t follow them, but hovered in position.
Once the defensive position of the enemy armies was set up, Shimmy gave the next order to Watcher.
"Watcher, I need you to gather all the consummate stage cultivators at one place. I need you guys to start discussing the ideas to defeat those bone snakes.
Since I am not there, I cannot really spoon feed a strategy to you.
It is on you guys.
Keep the communication on, so that I can listen in."
"Yes, sir."
Watcher did as he was told.
Soon, all the Consummate stage cultivators, mostly initial and middle stage ones, gathered together and started discussing.
"Why are we wasting time here, sir? We are going to end Hastin village anyway, if you ask me, let’s just all attack at the same. In fact, you can make a move from where you are and flatten whoever is left in this village and we can all go home."
A woman spoke through gritted teeth.
Watcher looked at her with a frown, sizing her up. From top to bottom, her armor looked brand new and that only displeased him more.
She wasn’t interesting in fighting at all.
"Little lady with a big mouth. That’s what I am gonna call you for now. Big Mouth.
Now, I want you to shut that big mouth up and listen to me carefully.
And its for all of you guys.
Whatever happens in this war... and I mean whatever it is, our side is never going to play against the rules. Not even a little bit. You understand me?
There is a reason why even people like Myrmon and Shin, who are stronger than me and more arrogant than me, just shut their pride down and are fighting according to the rules.
Because the only reason Hastin village is not lording over all us and not treating you like absolute vermin you are, is because they play by their own rules as well as the rules of the world.
Even if one of you assholes break a small rules, I will personally kill you and your family just at a chance to not getting retaliated by Hastin village.
Do you understand?"
Everyone stayed silent. And Shimmy took that as a yes.
"Now, let’s discuss the bone snakes.
I can’t see them now and honestly I don’t want to see them.
However, I have a plan that you can execute. But before that, you need to figure out a few things about those snakes...
Now, discuss..."
...
While this is happening, back at Parth’s field...
Myrmon and Shin were standing on either side of the field while Parth stood in the middle.
"You called me for a battle and yet you are focusing elsewhere."
Parth remarked calmly.
The formation while active is not affecting him at all.
Mostly because Myrmon and Shin were worried what might be happening at the Hastin village and at the same time, they are not a hundred percent sure if the formation is going to do its job or not.
They are all hoping that the black spheres would do what they were meant to.
After taking a few deep breaths, they made a move.
