One let their guard down when they thought that victory was at hand.
This was a principle that Lin Fan recognized and had utilized in this situation.
The instructions that he had given to the generals was to lead the enemy commander until he thought that he was winning.
Even them struggling to block his final attack was all a ruse.
The enemy commander was just too confident in himself, a trait that both of the generals recognized immediately, which was why they had used this plan.
After all, Lin Fan had just asked them to fake losing and didn't tell them how to do it.
These two were experienced generals, so something like this was easy for them.
The enemy commander looked down at the claw that was sticking out of his chest in disbelief.
He wasn't able to sense his former pet sneaking up on him at all, so he couldn't understand just how it had happened.
But the facts couldn't be denied and there was indeed a large hole in his chest.
After spitting out a large mouthful of blood, the enemy commander suddenly gritted his teeth. He raised his sword and gathered every single bit of remaining energy that he could.
But when he was prepared to swing at his former pet, he found that it was already fading away.
When he swung out, all he was able to find was thin air with his sword.
Then as he turned around, he found that the weapons of the two generals were already flying at him. With one final bitter laugh, he faced his death.
However, even at the moment of his death, he couldn't understand where it had all gone wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheir Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms had come up with the perfect plan and had even brought in the Beast Race, the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdoms shouldn't have had a chance at all. However, in the end, they had been forced into this desperate situation where their pets even turned on them.
Just what secret did the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdom have?
As expected, there was no suspense at all as the swords of the generals sliced right through the enemy commander and his corpse collapsed to the ground in pieces.
The moment that the enemy commander's corpse fell to the ground, the enemy's morale immediately collapsed.
This was no longer a fight, but rather a frantic panicked escape. The enemy didn't even try to work together as they used each other as scapegoats for their own escape.
The pets that had been taken were all abandoned and they scattered in every direction like rats.
It was just too bad that neither the Mu or Ran Stellar Kingdom forces were in the mood to let them escape. Not to mention that they had been completely surrounded in the first place.
With the suppression of the barrier that was still around them, it was impossible for them to face the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdom forces head on.
So most of them immediately chose to turn in the direction of General Li and General Fu.
If they were able to capture these two…they would be able to use them as hostages to break through this siege.
As for why they thought that they would be able to capture these two High Planet Realm Experts, their logic was that they were weakened by their commander. Not to mention that they were currently surrounded by enemies as well.
The two generals had charged right into the center of the enemy formation to take down the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces commander, so they were currently completely surrounded by a sea of enemies.
It was their group in the center, then the enemies around them, and then their troops standing outside surrounding everything.
So they figured that with the weakened state that these two generals should be in and with how many of them there were here, they would be able to easily capture the two of them. It was just too bad that this was nothing more than optimistic thinking and they had completely overestimated their own abilities.
With the support of the High Planet Realm Beast that Lin Fan had taken from the enemy commander, these remnants of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces were completely scattered. Like an arrow, they flew right through the lines of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms, scattering them all like pins.
It took less than five minutes for the group of the two generals to break through back to their own lines.
When the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces saw this, they knew that it was the end for them.
They had become a trapped beast with nowhere to go.
But they knew that it was impossible to surrender since it was clear that the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdom forces weren't in the mood to take prisoners.
They had invaded their camps and had injured many of their allies, this was a debt that couldn't be forgiven easily.
Not to mention that all the troops that had been sent to attack the camp were elites, so it would certainly be a large blow to the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms if they were all destroyed.
So with all these reasons, there was no need to take them as prisoners…other than a few of the high ranking officers.
But those high ranking officers knew that they would be taken prisoner to be tortured for information, so it was better for them not to surrender or get captured.
With the blockade in place, General Li didn't bother doing anything and just left everything to General Fu since this was the Ran Stellar Kingdom camp. If he were to step in and command the troops, it would be pushing the boundaries and would offend the Ran Stellar Kingdom.
General Fu also understood this and took command of the forces of the two Stellar Kingdoms.
In no time, they quickly took care of the rest of the enemies and they started cleaning up the camp.
At that point, General Fu invited General Li and Lin Fan to the central camp.
He had seen Lin Fan with the enemy commander's High Planet Realm Pet, so he could guess that Lin Fan was the one that had turned the enemy's pets on them. If that was the case, then Lin Fan was someone that was just as important as General Li since he was capable of overturning the situation of the entire war.
Once they had settled, the first thing that happened was that General Li turned to Lin Fan to ask, "Why did you kill the enemy commander?"
This was a very important thing since they wanted information about the enemy and there was no one better to provide this information than the enemy commander.
If it hadn't been for Lin Fan commanding the High Planet Realm Beast to stab the enemy commander in the back, the two of them wouldn't have cut him down and could have taken him captive. But since he was already bleeding out from being stabbed in the back, the two generals had no choice but to cut him down before he did anything desperate.
This had been their best chance to capture one of the enemy commanders, but Lin Fan had ruined it for them, so of course he was displeased.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if he was subdued by Lin Fan's abilities, he was still the supreme commander of the Mu Stellar Kingdom forces and had to think about their overall benefits.
As for why he couldn't capture the enemy commander back at the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp, that was because it would have been too hard to do so with just him alone. Here he had the help of the High Planet Realm Beast and General Fu, so it could have been easily done.
General Fu also looked at Lin Fan with knitted brows since he was also annoyed about this.
Lin Fan just calmly faced them and said, "He deserved to die, so he died. It's just that simple."
General Li and General Fu were filled with annoyance when they heard this and they slammed their fists onto the table.
General Li stood up and pointed at Lin Fan as he said, "While I recognize the value that you have, that doesn't mean that you're allowed to do whatever you want."
Lin Fan calmly faced him and said, "I came here as a contractor, so I'm not a part of your Mu Stellar Kingdom army. I don't abide by your orders."
General Li was taken aback when he heard this, but he realized that Lin Fan was right. That was the agreement that the Mu Stellar King had signed with Lin Fan and he was indeed free to do what he wanted…
But this matter was just too important to them!
So he couldn't just back down on this.
At the very least, he had to find a way to get Lin Fan to submit to their Mu Stellar Kingdom army so he could properly deploy him.
He recognized that Lin Fan's ability was powerful and as long as he worked with them, they would be able to easily push back the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces.
After all, this was a world where fighting with pets was absolutely necessary unless one was a sword cultivator. So if their pets betrayed them, then it would mean that their power would be cut in half, making them easy targets.
So he needed Lin Fan in his forces.
But before he could say anything else, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait, before we continue, let's go outside."
Everyone in the room was confused when they heard this, but seeing that Lin Fan didn't wait and already started heading out, they had no choice but to follow him.
When they came out, they were shocked to see that…
There were several beasts that were tied up waiting there for them.
