Chapter 222 Cannon Fodder



"What the hell is going on over there?" Phoenix twirled her red hair as she glanced to her right.

"What is wrong with those mad men? They are fighting as if they have their life on the line!" She exclaimed.

"And they are clearly taking care of a fourth of the beasts on their side."

"They seem to be the biggest contributors to this fight, guild master. They are solely responsible for a large number of kills." her attendant nodded.

"And you think that is a good thing? Most of the people behind me are from my guild. And yet, we are clearly going through the enemy much slower than they are. And the biggest problem is, the leader of the enemy still hasn\'t moved." She clenched her teeth as she looked to her left.

In a little distance, the largest wolf was calmly laid, looking at the army that was going through enemies without much trouble.

"And the corpses are all disappearing right? Not like what Shadow King said." She confirmed.

"Yes, guild master. But what he says seems to be true. Any wolf that was struck away from the head does not seem to disappear. Since all of your strikes were head first, you didn\'t see any of the corpses." The attendant explained.

"That is interesting. And the other guild masters, are they pulling through?" She looked to her left this time, and made sure that the others weren\'t being overwhelmed.

"They are not, guild master. The biggest surprise is that Bright Horizon is having the easiest time despite having the least number of people and the least number of tier two players." The attendant said.

"That is indeed, surprising. Looking at them, they might actually have a chance to take care of the hurdle that all the other guilds have failed at." She nodded.

The sword in her hand, a flaming red one, twirled as she struck forward, tearing apart another wolf in half.

"All of these monsters are just cannon fodder. They are just draining stamina and mana. We shouldn\'t be using too much of our energy on them. That will only put us at a disadvantage." she frowned.

"As we get deeper, we should be facing much stronger opponents. Tell the mages to dial the attacks down a little. Don\'t use the bigger ones, and expend mana. Mana takes way too much time to reload." She mused.

The attendant nodded as he retreated to relay the command.

"Most of the mages are with me, so that shouldn\'t be a problem. I only hope the other bozos will understand what is happening and adjust accordingly. The ego of men is so high, if I tell them something, they will definitely do the opposite." She scowled.

She looked to the right once more.

The entire right flank was moving forward at a frightening pace. In fact, they had a lot of leeway because they were trying to stick with the rest of the army.

"Also, guild master, the swordsmen and the tanks in the back are asking if they should come to the front line to help. Should we tell them to come here to support?" the attendant returned once more.

"No. Why would they be so impatient? If they stay there, then we can rotate them on the next attack. And we can never be sure when the enemy might try to ambush us from the sides and the back."

"We must remain vigilant. The fight has only started, and everyone is thinking about endgame. This is not the real fight. This is only the warm up." She said with a raised voice.

But in this noise of fighting and howling, how could her voice be heard.

"Send everyone the message. Remain cautious. And the two flanks. Do they have any sights of an enemy attack from the forest?" She asked.

​ "The scouts have no word, Guild master. And the flanks have been quite restless till now. Especially Wolf\'s Den. Lone Wolf says that he has his men under control though." The attendant said.

"I swear to god, if anyone messes up, I will destroy them. I can\'t afford to lose this fight. If I do, then father is going to have a field day with me." Phoenix grit her teeth as she took a step forward, and cut her sword forward.

"I don\'t even need a skill to kill this trash. Just why did the other guilds fall so early? Is the disparity between the second the first tier that high?" Phoenix frowned.

"It is said that the disparity between ninety nine and a hundred in a single stat is huge, guild master. A gap that is huge, but doesn\'t show in the numbers. Maybe that is what is showing here." The attendant suggested.

"You should stop staying behind me, listening to everything that I say. Go to battle and help us out." Phoenix shook her head and said.

"I am a supporting class, guild master. I do not go to the front lines usually." The attendant gave a crafty smile.

"Whatever."

The cries of battle reverberated in this large space.

With such a wide road for the battle to take place, but with only a single point of contact, most of the wolves were halted by the tanks with the swordsmen taking care of them.

The mages and the archers were focused on the wolves behind in the distance.

"Urgh, The numbers are endless." Myriad Arrows cursed.

"It\'s like they will never end. We killed thousands already, and that\'s just us. I thought that there were a few thousand wolves, but now, it looks like they are getting reinforcements from somewhere. And I can\'t see too far into the stance to know what is happening." He said.

He was not near Jake and Kierch right now.

The three of them split up to avoid clashing for prey.

"Maybe I should take higher ground. I can get a better view of what is happening." He decided as he looked to the right at the many tall trees that stood beside him.
