A thick, gory stench spread on the battlefield that couldn’t fade.
Corpses were everywhere, and most of them were incomplete. Swere humans, and the rest looked similar to humans, but they were green monsters.
Delin drank a mouth of water to moisturize his throat. He smiled bitterly.
This was the first the knew that an evolved’s throat would go hoarse if he used it too much.
He touched the left of his head, and his ear was gone. A three-meter-tall monster had broken through C Zone’s defense. Delin faced it, and after killing the monster, which had no abilities at all, he paid the price of it biting off one ear.
“Damn, will it have any illness?”
Delin mumbled as he looked at the monster whose head was smashed and gave out a disgusting dark green liquid.
The monsters stopped after forcing this attack back, but they didn’t retreat. They still surrounded C Zone.
“How many casualties are there?”
Delin asked the deputy expressionlessly.
The deputy lowered his head and hesitated, “Over 45 thousand.”
Even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but close his eyes.
Over 60% of them were gone. If not for them being surrounded by such a ratio, they would have collapsed even if they were all evolved.

Whether they were able to flee or not, C Zone would suffer a huge blow. They would go from the strongest region to a situation similar to S Zone.
They might be even worse!
Delin’s gaze was filled with despair but also unmistakable rage.
What was going on with C Zone’s intel? Why did they make such a mistake with the number of monsters? The information told them that there were just ten thousand. How many were there? 200 thousand? Or three hundred thousand?
Delin wasn’t clear, and he didn’t have the mood to count. So what if he counted? He was still trapped and waiting for reinforcements that might not come.
“Commander, we have sent the distress message, but the headquarters haven’t reacted.”
Delin nodded and said weakly, “It is useless. They can’t help us as they are too far away. If those monsters let us rest for over an hour, let’s try to break out!”
The deputy but is teeth. Like Delin, he didn’t have high hopes of breaking out.
The survivors were still okay when defending in a formation and could block their attacks. If they tried to break out, the formation would be in chaos. They would be exposed to the monsters that relied on their bodies to fight. They had no advantage and couldn’t even outrun them.
Although C Zone’s warriors had killed at least 50 thousand of them, many remained.
“commander …”
“I know.” Delin interrupted him and looked at the dense monsters. “Let’s get as many of us out as possible. It is better than dying here. In a while, Broken Blade will hold up the rear. Let the women go first.”
Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said, in a lower voice, “You lead. If you notice anything wrong, you must… Kill the women first, do you understand?”
The deputy raised his head in shock and looked at Delin in disbelief.
“Why, why?”
Delin was annoyed with his deputy and bit his teeth, “Can you grow a brain? Didn’t you notice that the monsters would grab the women in the team? Can’t you think what they are doing?”
“Why?”
Delin slapped his head, “Stupid! There are only two possibilities. First, they like to eat women. Second…”
“Reproduction!”
The deputy finally understood and replied.
Delin nodded. He only thought about two possibilities.
“So, even if they kill all of us, we must not let them get stronger!”
The deputy slapped his chest, “Understood, I will complete the mission!”
Delin nodded and wanted to say something, but he looked over his deputy’s shoulder at another subordinate who was running over.
“Commander! The headquarters have sent news!” the subordinate shouted, with joy on his face. When he got nearby, the soldiers turned.
Delin looked at his expression, and his heartbeat quickened. He thought about a possibility.
“How?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“They told us to defend. The team hunting the Iron Giatn is 50 kilometers west of us. If we hold for a few hours, they will arrive!”
The battlefield was silent when they heard the news, and they started cheering!
There was light at the end of the darkness, hope in despair.
If they could live, who would be willing to die?
Delin’s face lit up. He laughed. Although he knew that the few hours would be as hard as a lifetime, he had something to look forward to. Although he knew that many more of them would die in the few hours, but… Many would survive.
The green monsters were shocked by the cheers and started to retreat. The survivors were delighted and started to laugh. Seven pointed middle fingers at them.
A four-meter-tall monster saw the humans laughing and roared. The monsters replied with cries before they launched their attacks.
Blood and pieces of meat started to fly in mid-air.

The Chain Prisoner escaped, and all that was left was a tattered battlefield. Each faction suffered heavy losses.
Apart from Cloud Peak.
Ye Zhongming brought 500, one died, a few dozen were injured and the rest were fine.
Moreover, Cloud Peak earned the only thing from this battle.
The Blood Wood and many pieces of Ghost Metal.
An Man led a group of people with solemn faces and walked over. They were very aggressive. Cloud Peak lined up, and they were ready for the impending conflict.
At that moment, a woman ran over and shouted toward An Man. Just a few sentences and his expression changed.
