Death… And Me Chapter 1293 - Just Our Luck

Chapter 1293 - Just Our Luck

Tixa shook her head after that, telling him, "Next time, don't lie about where the enemy forces are located. What really irritates me is that you also intend to make me the scapegoat for the death of my division after it. Well, someone already told me that sacrifices are necessary during war, so I won't say anything else. However, you better pay us well once this is over. Because this suicidal mission where you expect none of us to come back alive won't just end like that. We're definitely coming back, and in a way that you couldn't even believe would happen." After that, she flew down the canyon. She had already made her mind that she would see this mission till the bitter end.

Lui's eyes could not help but greatly widen as he saw Tixa going down. It was obvious that he knew what Tixa was talking about. "How did she find out?" However, he saw Tixa's division leave swiftly, so he could only shake his head. "I can only hope she will carry the mission out even though she knows the truth. If not, I can simply stop the central army from launching the attack anyway." Lui then let out a sigh before taking a flight to return to the central army.

Roan was at least satisfied with the scouts' map in the jade slip. This was an important mission that could bring a huge victory to this specific battlefield, so the Vigal Army was very thorough with this part of the information, at the very least.

Before Roan was second in command, Tixa was already good at moving her division silently. With her and Roan working together, as well as using the jade slip as a guide, it wasn't hard to take out the scouts before they could sound an alarm. Better than that, Rean was there to help with his Divine Sense bending skill. They made a small elite group that could eliminate any obstacle without the enemy ever noticing before they were already dead.

At some point, Tixa looked to her left and said, "Not too far from here, the enemy army's right wing is fighting our Vigal Army's left wing."

Roan nodded, saying, "In fact, they should be closer than you think. Then again, we're just halfway through, so our left wing is also close by, keeping them busy. It's just that since we're deep into the canyon, it's harder for the sound of battle to reach us."

Rean didn't seem to mind. "It's fine, it's fine. According to the plan, we simply have no need to care about the enemy's right wing anymore, right? Focus on taking the scouts out."

Everything was going quite well until suddenly, Roan ordered the elite group to stop with his Divine Sense. 'Halt!'

He looked at the map and could see that there wasn't supposed to be anyone in this place. Noticing Roan's words, Tixa immediately asked, 'Can you feel anyone's presence?' She already understood that the twins had some weird method of detecting the enemy's Divine Sense even though they weren't using their own. She and the others obviously couldn't use Divine Sense to see ahead since it would alarm the scouts if they felt it.

Roan nodded, saying, 'There's Divine Sense scanning our area up ahead, its owner somewhere around there. They're more or less at the same cultivation level as you, Tixa.'

Rean agreed with Roan, saying, 'Yes, definitely at the Transition Realm. That's weird. Was the canyon supposed to have someone at that level scouting it?'

Tixa and Roan immediately shook their heads. 'First of all, Transition Realm cultivators are prohibited from fighting. All they can do is command others,' Tixa explained. 'For example, you haven't seen me attack a single person until now, right? That's the agreement between both sides of the alliance. If high-level cultivators joined in on the fight, they could kill tens of thousands of people at once. Naturally, that wouldn't be beneficial for either side. That's why the war is waged between Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators and below. That's also why I wouldn't have any problem escaping the enemy's army, as no one would attack me once they see I'm a Transition Realm cultivator.'

That was the truth. Even when Tixa's division was attacked back when Roan had his first mission with her, she still didn't attack a single person. The enemy commanders at the Transition Realm and above also never joined in on the battle even after they pierced through their defense and opened a gap in their defensive line.

Rean nodded after hearing that. 'Well, whoever it may be, they're not breaking the rules. If all they're doing is using their Divine Sense to scout ahead of them, it's not a problem, right?'

Tixa confirmed Rean's words. 'Yes, it isn't a problem. However, it's weird for someone of that level to appear in a place like this.'

Rean then warned Roan and Tixa. 'We need to retreat. They're heading in our direction, and their Divine Sense is too strong. If they get too close, Rean and I won't be able to keep their Divine Sense away from our bodies.'

'They're coming in our direction?' Tixa asked.

Roan then asked Rean something else. 'Go back and tell our division to retreat further back. Otherwise, their Divine Sense will catch their presence.'

Rean didn't waste time and immediately left with a few of the elite group members. Meanwhile, Roan, Tixa, and a few others retreated as well. 'On our way here, there was a part of the canyon that continued in a straight line. That should be big enough for us to stay at one end and see who's coming from the other. It will be far enough so that I can still keep us hidden from the enemy's Divine Sense.'

Tixa and the others nodded and immediately retreated. Not too long after, they arrived at the part of the canyon Roan told them about and waited. It was then that they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the other side. Not only one or two, but many of them. Tixa and Roan narrowed their eyes when they saw the other party. It turns out that they weren't the only ones trying to use the canyon to strike the enemy's army. They just so happened to b.u.mp into an enemy division that was trying to do the same thing.

'Just our luck....'
