Chapter 523 Reinforcements?
It is estimated that at least two-thirds of the soldiers joined the rebel camp.
Chris brought only a quarter of the soldiers from the central community to this location.
It can be judged that it was a pang of conscience that led them to turn against their own king.
"Hmph!" Chris scoffed. "Conscience is the most useless thing."
Chris thought he was in dire straits, but unexpectedly, the turning point came so suddenly.
The rebels, for some reason, began to panic.
They had rushed forward with nothing but anger in their eyes, seemingly seeking revenge against Chris and the other invaders from the central community.
Although they were still approaching, they moved in a panic, looking back from time to time, their posture filled with fear.
What are they afraid of? — Chris draws a conclusion — but what exactly is it?
But whatever it is, Chris must seize the opportunity.
Fate is either cyclical or ascending.
If Chris doesn't want to fall into a vicious cycle, he must correct his course promptly and decisively.
He calmed down and ordered Moody: "Inform the remaining generals to organize a counterattack, and tell them that they can go on a killing spree and show no mercy."
Since they're all consumables anyway, and since they've already harbored rebellious intentions, keeping them around will only cause trouble.
"yes!"
Moody responded and went to carry it out.
Although the newly transformed wizard is still a wizard, his mastery of magic is certainly not as proficient as that of the veterans Chris brought.
Moreover, our side has natural-born wizards.
Soon, Chris heard a loud bang in the distance, along with panicked screams from the rebel army.
This made Chris alarmed—it seemed that something terrible had happened.
Chris enhanced his perspective on destiny and indeed saw a cluster of extremely vibrant colors of destiny spreading from afar.
This indicates that an individual who could greatly influence Chris's fate is approaching.
What also frightened Chris was that the colors were not just a single patch, but a continuous expanse.
This means there are many more individuals like this!
Chris immediately looked around anxiously, observing their current location.
The enemy command post is currently located south of Hedy Square to facilitate command of the front lines.
The south and east are inhabited by rebel forces, while a small number of enemy troops remain in the west.
Therefore, the north was the best route for Chris to retreat at this time.
Of course, he didn't plan to run away immediately.
The color of fate only tells Chris that the other party can influence the intensity of fate, but it doesn't explain whether his fate is leading to a cycle or an upward trend.
Let's wait and see—if there's danger, Chris will escape from the north.
Moreover, Chris had brought two crucial items with him on this trip.
That book, "The Guide to Destiny Interpretation," and Gretella's Apostle's Staff.
Even if he were to escape this danger alone, he could rely on these two things to escape alive.
Chris had already decided to continue studying the book that had given him the power of destiny.
In fact, his progress is also very good.
He only needed one last bit of content to completely master the book.
Unfortunately, with the continuous fighting and the ever-changing situation, Chris has had absolutely no free time for reading lately.
After all, he brought two maids with him with him, and it would take a lot of energy to take good care of them.
These two items are now in his snow sedan chair.
It must be said that the snow carriages of the frozen continent are a genius invention.
It can be pulled by an animal or lifted by a person.
It allows for easy movement in the snow and is convenient to use even in cities where the snow has been cleared.
Oh! I must commend the floor here; it's so smooth and flat that the snowmobile rides on it without any bumps or hindrance.
It can only be said that Hedy Square truly deserves its reputation as an economic powerhouse.
"No, no————"
"what!"
"Help! Help—"
Just then, Chris heard a scream.
The rebels, who were initially just making a hasty retreat, are now fleeing in disarray, as if something terrifying has completely shattered their psychological defenses.
As the crowd drew closer to Chris, the agonizing noise made him feel increasingly suffocated.
in the end----
"Elders!"
Suddenly another shout rang out, startling Chris.
He quickly turned his head, and there was Moody again.
Chris was dissatisfied and wanted to complain, but he forcibly suppressed his emotions: "Speak."
"The rebels were in complete chaos, and our soldiers completely suppressed them."
"Good news," and I can see that too.
"But there's worse news," Moody's face instantly darkened, "There's a monster!"
monster----
Chris froze when he heard the word.
A full ten seconds later, Chris finally remembered to ask, "What monster?"
Moody didn't answer. Instead, he turned, raised his right hand, and pointed south: "Look, they're coming!"
Chris looked up and gazed into the distance.
A gap had been torn open in the crowd, and both the rebels and the old guard had suffered heavy casualties.
A group of humanoid creatures, each over seven feet tall and with smooth skin, used their hard bodies to slaughter all living things nearby.
Those creatures all had dark, enormous eyes that seemed to have no eyelids and were always staring.
Some of them have slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suckers.
Some have a mouthful of hard, triangular teeth, the color of which is like steel.
More often than not, they are strange in indescribable, with triangular heads, glowing bodies, or covered in carapaces—
If we were to draw an analogy, these are more like—
"It's a fish!" Moody said, "Elder, look at that! Isn't it just a giant oyster?"
As he spoke, the "oyster" that Moody was referring to swallowed a large, living person into its shell.
Immediately, bright red blood flowed down the crack and onto the ground.
Moody's eyes widened in terror, and he immediately grabbed Chris's right hand: "Run! Elder, you must leave! Staying here will get you killed."
"Hahaha!" Chris burst into laughter.
"Elders?"
Chris shook his head: "Escape? No need. Those coming are all allies!"
He offered no further explanation, and to Moody's bewildered gaze, Chris stepped forward instead.
Upon arriving at his snow-covered carriage, his guards immediately surrounded him.
"Hmph—Chris thought—at least these few are still loyal."
Thinking back, those were all trusted confidants left behind by Ainar.
Chris thought it was unnecessary.
Chris ordered, "Step back and let them get closer!"
Despite being puzzled, his men stepped aside.
The soldiers also retreated one after another.
Those "monsters" did not chase after them either, but continued to move forward at their own pace.
Until they reached Chris.
Then, a creature resembling a manta ray spoke in broken, incoherent language: "You called us, exiles."
Exiles? Though puzzled by the term, Chris nodded anyway: "That's right!"
Chris is a conman, but he didn't lie.
This was a ritual he performed to summon reinforcements from the seabed, following the instructions of the deep-sea consciousness that was eroding his left arm!
Because there was no response for a long time, Chris thought that some consciousness was playing tricks on him, and he completely forgot about it.
I never imagined it was true!
And they came to Chris's aid during his time of crisis!
This is a timely help!
"That's right," Chris said, spreading his only remaining right arm, "I am your summoner, your master, your king!"
The manta ray monster's peculiar face remained expressionless: "So, have we helped you?"
"Of course, you've come at the perfect time," Chris said with a smile. "I'll reward you—"
Chris was just trying to make empty promises.
However----
The manta ray monster suddenly swung its massive, wing-like arms, killing the nearest guard.
Chris was taken aback, but immediately snapped, "What do you think you're doing! These are my men!"
But just then, the other monsters also began to move.
In the blink of an eye, two more guards were killed.
Chris felt fear.
He completely misunderstands the current situation.
Then, the manta ray spoke again: "Since I've already helped you, we're even now."
