Chapter 2624: Ambush in Examire (1)
'It is time. Get ready.'over 100 Minos said in the minds of his over 100 companions scattered throughout Examire.
As he stood up from where he had been watching the future for over a month, he saw everything he needed to know in order to act quickly enough.
'How much time do we have??' Abby asked him, standing in another position around Examire's underground area.
Except for the family's small dragons and Segiel, who was at headquarters to receive the guild's allies in the war against the Firestone Mines, everyone in their faction, including Ama and Gan, was in Examire now.
Some were working in daylight, like Kendrick, Lily, and Hollie. Others were in underground areas, while some were disguised in the city.
'A few minutes. They're about to make their move. Be ready. They're going to bombard the headquarters and then show themselves,' Minos said as he walked through the tunnel leading to the chamber where he had been a few moments ago.
Everyone felt the anticipation of battle in Minos' words, knowing that they would have to wait for the enemies to make their move and show themselves before they could act.
Their trap would not work if they acted first!
'We will have to take some casualties if we are to win today. Be prepared for the death of some of our comrades at headquarters.' Minos said coldly, ready to let the enemies attack with everything before they moved.
'How many will we have to sacrifice?' Ruth asked her husband.
'Hundreds.' Minos finally reached the exit of the tunnel he was in, where he could see daylight again.
Even when he came out of the tunnel, Minos didn't move from the area where a magnificent building had been constructed. He stood still, looking through the thick glass that protected this area, while using his Bright Eyes to look toward the floating island of Armhands.
'In a few moments, part of the island will explode, revealing the enemies who have infiltrated the city.'
Kendrick heard this and froze, aware that an attack of this magnitude would not be easy. For his father to have waited so long to act and predict such a cataclysm, Supremes would have to show up here today!
'Are we going to be okay?' Lily looked at him with the same thought as Kendrick.
Meanwhile, Hollie prepared to use the Hydras' Amulet, trying to stay calm and continue what she was doing.
Since she was at level 106 and with her special abilities and the amulet, she could fight Sovereigns up to level 110.
However, she also thought that there would be Supremes involved in this battle, which would be the most powerful enemies she would see up close at a battle. That was worthy of her attention and the solemn look on her face.
As all the faction members prepared to act, some to protect the guild members who knew nothing, and others to move against the enemies, the decisive moment arrived.
'Now!' Minos warned everyone in his group, getting Gan and Ama ready while the guild Sovereigns in the area were all in place.
Minos communicated not only with his companions in Examire. Segiel, Sender, and the other strongest members in the headquarters were all aware of what was happening around.
Segiel and the four Supremes at her disposal, each pretending to go about their daily business, stopped and looked at their surroundings.
A second after Minos' warning, a flash of lightning appeared from the north of the floating island, followed by a shaking of the ground and then a thunderous roar.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Flames and smoke suddenly appeared on the north side of the island, at the point least protected by its defensive formations.
The explosion wasn't simple. With a power capable of harming even newly promoted Supremes, the enemies who planned to destroy the Armhands' headquarters today were difficult to deal with!
Using high-level bombs capable of destroying part of the defensive formations of Armhands' headquarters, the enemies made the entire floating island tremble.
Those closest to the focal point of the explosion didn't even feel any pain as it completely incinerated them. Those on the outskirts of the mountain where the cultivation caves were located felt the glaciers in the area melt, while some were burned to death and others were forced out of their cultivation sites.
The fence surrounding the city built on the floating island was melted on one side, and all the guards there at the time were killed by the gust of wind and projectiles from the explosion.
Shrapnel flew into the Armhands' headquarters city, destroying several buildings and injuring several guild members.
Even though they were prepared for this attack, the five Supremes there couldn't help but be surprised by the enemy's offensive power.
'Sacrifice your parasites!' Minos said in the minds of the four Supremes at Segiel's disposal, as well as half a dozen level 114 peak Generals.
'You must save your sacrifice. Don't use your parasite sacrifice.' Minos told Segiel before he moved with his forces on Examire.
As Segiel nodded to Minos, more than a thousand high-level Sovereigns emerged from hiding places throughout the city. Some groups of them flew toward the Armhands exposed in the streets, but the majority flew toward the attacked floating island in flames.
Ordinary aliens in the streets who had nothing to do with the Armhands immediately realized the situation when they looked up at the burning sky and saw battalions of powerful cultivators flying around the city.
'Attack!' Minos warned all his groups, giving them the signal at the best moment to reveal their trap to their enemies.
Kendrick and Hollie used their innate powers to increase their cultivation almost immediately at Minos' command as he reached the absolute peak of level 114.
Abby and a horde of 69 corpses left their hiding place and went on the attack, while Gan and Ama flew ahead of Minos.
As soon as they moved, the enemy leaders behind the attack, who had already begun their assault on the headquarters hundreds of meters above the surface, realized the problem.
However, they could only order their weakest men to fight against the forces commanded by Minos. The group of Supremes behind this act, who had already sensed various auras between levels 116 and 118 on the floating island, didn't care about the Sovereigns' movements.
Only one level 115 man from that group stayed behind to take care of Minos' charges!
