The reinforcements arrived, displaying even more skill in pursuing and eliminating the remnants of the enemy forces.
A group of strongmen concealed their presence, hidden within the large army, waiting for the enemy powerhouses to take the bait.
Unfortunately, yesterday’s fierce battle had already terrified the Giant Centipede’s leadership. Now, each of them was solely focused on fleeing, without organizing any counterattack.
"Marshal, our pursuit path is incorrect. The enemy doesn’t seem to be planning to meet up with the Demonic Crocodile Clan in Parma Province.
If we continue to tangle with the enemy here, I’m afraid the Parma Province garrison won’t hold on for long!"
Marquis Simon said worriedly.
Knowing that taking the opportunity to beat the dog while it is down, eradicating the remaining forces of the Giant Centipede, is the best choice.
But war is not just about military affairs; political factors must also be considered.
After all, they are colleagues, allowing Parma Province to fall without attempting a rescue would be a major blow to his reputation at home.
"The morale of the Giant Centipede force is already dispersed, and they do not have the capability to battle us. At this moment, if they are not heading to join the Demonic Crocodile Clan, then their goal is clear.
The place where the Demonic Crocodile Clan first appeared is the Bofeil Province, so the Earth Core Passage entrance should also be here.
Regarding the safety of the retreat route, the Demonic Crocodile Clan cannot easily give it up.
As long as we keep these Giant Centipedes tightly in check, they will lead us to the Earth Core Passage, and by then the ones panicking will be the enemy!"
Hudson said with an unhappy expression.
As a guest army, the life and death of the Parma Province garrison have little to do with him.
There was no mutual friendship, and it was not worth changing established strategies for irrelevant people.
He understood the dilemma that Marquis Simon faced, but understanding does not mean he was willing to help take the blame.
If it weren’t for the bigger picture, he would have really wanted to issue a command to split the forces and let Marquis Simon lead his troops alone to support Parma Province.
Upon sensing Hudson’s attitude, Marquis Simon immediately fell silent.
Political problems are important, but military problems are equally significant. Denying Hudson’s decision indeed feels like a difficult position.
The vice commander and commander in chief may seem only a step apart, but in reality, their powers are worlds apart.
If truly offended, it’s quite possible his family private army might ’accidentally’ meet with mishap in some battle.
Routed soldiers ran across the world, the battle to pursue and eliminate the remnants had already fully unfolded.
Facing the cavalry charging from behind, the Centipede Soldiers felt utterly collapsed inside.
The roar of a broad-faced Centipede Soldier invigorated the morale of his fellow Centipede Soldiers.
Unfortunately, their current condition did not match their anger.
After mustering the courage to fight the enemy desperately, they realized that they had no armor, and their weapons had long been discarded somewhere.
A tragic cry rang out, a Centipede Soldier at the forefront fell into a pool of blood with a long spear piercing through his body, full of unwillingness.
The splattering blood extinguished the desperate will of the centipedes.
Now, fighting with all one’s might was not the issue; they simply could not fight.
Since the moment they chose to abandon their armor and weapons to escape, they lost the capital to fight for their lives.
Regretting now was useless. Had they not discarded those cumbersome armors and weapons, they would have fallen on the battlefield much earlier, unable to escape to where they now stood.
One Centipede Soldier fell, then the second, the third, continuously collapsing, running faster than their companions only meant living a few seconds longer.
Once caught by the Human cavalry, there was almost no chance of survival.
Slaughter, relentless slaughter!
No matter if they fiercely retaliated or begged for mercy, the ultimate outcome was the same.
The order received by the Allied Forces was to kill all invaders!
This was the dignity of the continent’s overlord, and as the Human Marshal, Hudson must resolutely maintain it.
The chase and escape battle continued to unfold, now was a test of endurance.
The physically weak Centipede Soldiers fell into pools of blood; the strong Centipede Soldiers continued fleeing ahead.
Parma Province, Demonic Crocodile Clan’s camp.
"Two Respected Ones have fallen in battle, and the Giant Centipede is leading the enemy straight toward the Earth Core Entrance?"
"This is impossible!"
The Demonic Crocodile King exclaimed excitedly.
He intended to verify the information but simultaneously received two pieces of bad news.
Deep inside, he was increasingly loathing the King Centipede.
If possible, he wouldn’t mind tearing apart all the Giant Centipedes into pieces.
If it weren’t for these unreliable teammates, they would still be entrenched in the two provinces, sitting and watching the continent’s dramatic events unfold.
The hated Giant Centipede not only brought them powerful enemies but also cost them two Sanctuary Powerhouses.
Now these troublesome teammates took it a step further, directly leading the enemy to the Earth Core Passage, seemingly leaving no retreat path for them.
"Your Majesty, the information was obtained from the captured Centipede Commanders.
To ensure accuracy, we interrogated multiple Centipede Commanders simultaneously and received similar answers.
According to them, on that day, the two clans converged nine Sanctuary Powerhouses and two hundred Eighth-order Strongmen to ambush Hudson, eventually falling into the enemy’s trap.
Five of the nine Sanctuary Powerhouses died in battle, and among the Eighth-order Strongmen involved, the losses were also heavy.
Judging from the situation of the war, the Giant Centipede has now been severely weakened, no longer capable of contesting the continent.
At this moment, their choice to head to the Earth Core Entrance likely aims to use it as a path back to the Earth Core World, pulling out of the continent’s conflict!"
Marshal Kent’s reply left the Demonic Crocodile group in a dramatic change of expression.
The Giant Centipede was frightened by the enemy, no longer daring to confront the Human Race, suddenly placing them in an awkward position.
