Chapter 5047: 5.0799 Trapping a Turtle in a Jar
Many Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers crawled and rolled on the ground, scattered and screaming from the impact.
General Hado's face was dark. He said grimly, "Retreat!"
He felt that if they stayed here any longer, his over five thousand personal guards might all be lost and completely destroyed!
To preserve their strength, they had to endure the moment's anger for long-term benefit.
Hado gritted his teeth, raised a hand, and whispered to the young officer Gu'er, "Grand Imperial Master Larry might not arrive on time. We must retreat quickly."
Retreating now could save two or three thousand personal guards. If they lingered any longer, even more men wouldn't be enough for the Human-Snake to sweep through.
As he spoke, the Human-Snake killed several more Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Hado quickly roared, "Retreat!"
"Retreat, retreat!" Gu'er also cried out, his face cold.
The panicked Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers desperately fled backward, like headless flies, scattering in disarray.
The entire meeting grounds were instantly filled with chaotic shouts, turning into a complete mess.
At such a time, no one could care for anyone else; they were too busy trying to escape with their own lives.
The soldiers scattered in a swarm, but were quickly blocked by the four invisible barriers.
General Hado mounted a sturdy black wolf. Other Duo Luo Kingdom wolf-pack members also quickly swung onto their wolves' backs, following their general, and charged towards the transparent defensive barrier.
Hado pulled out a set of jade talismans from his sleeve and flung them forward.
Dozens of jade talismans clattered into a circle in mid-air, then suddenly dispersed in all directions.
The defensive barrier in front of them instantly vanished without a trace.
Qiao Mu stood there expressionlessly, watching Hado's series of actions, a cold sneer forming in her heart.
It seemed this Talisman Master was a cautious person, not showing themselves, but merely giving the "key" to activate and deactivate the talisman array to this general.
But one thing was certain: this master must be hiding nearby, observing.
After all, after setting up such a grand talisman array, anyone would be somewhat curious.
"Go!" Hado saw the barrier open. Without another word, he patted the wolf's head and spurred the large black wolf to charge forward, leading the way.
His charging speed was incredibly fast, so much so that the young officer Gu'er, who was right behind him, didn't manage to keep up immediately.
He was left a short distance behind by General Hado.
The Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers followed closely behind the wolf pack, charging blindly, wanting only to escape far from the crazed Human-Snake's attack range.
This Human-Snake was simply terrifying; it would smash anyone it saw without a word, and wherever its giant tail swept, almost everyone was flattened into a pulp.
"Faster!" Gu'er patted his wolf's back, urging it loudly, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
He knew very well that the talisman array set up by Master Chu was quite formidable.
Even with the "key" to open the defensive barrier, the passage time was only a few short minutes.
After a few minutes, the defensive barrier would close again, locking the remaining people inside.
"Hmph." Gu'er snorted through his nose, a glint of mockery in his eyes.
At that point, it would be like trapping a turtle in a jar.
Master Chu only needed to give them a good send-off from outside the talisman array, and these people would be in for a rough time.
Except for the Human-Snake whose realm was indiscernible, the rest of them would likely face disaster.
