Chapter 1295 - Lose At All Costs

Tixa still couldn't help but ask, 'Don't you think they could make their way back and attack us from behind?'

Roan shook his head in response. 'Not gonna happen. That's because they're also thinking the same thing. What if the negotiation was a trap? They'll be far busier than us, making sure we aren't on their tracks.'

Tixa could only hope for that. Well, Roan also had people covering their track from behind, just in case. This canyon had hundreds of different pa.s.sages, so it wasn't exactly easy to find a specific group in there. If the enemy's central army really dispatched groups to deal with them, that would mean they would face multiple groups. That was, once again, perfect for their plan.

Time pa.s.sed, and several hours went by. Eventually, they arrived at the position where they would come out of the canyon before heading in the central army's direction. They were also lucky as there wasn't anyone close by at that time. It's not that the previous enemy division didn't send anyone to warn the central army. Instead, they couldn't exactly gauge where Roan's group would come out to start with. There were way too many spots, after all.

From there, they started to make their way to the central army. Once again, Rean and Roan took the lead with a few elite members so that they could get rid of any scouts without being noticed. When they finally got close to the central army's left side, Tixa, Roan, and Rean immediately noticed something. 'They moved some of their defense. They're probably waiting for us, just like we thought.'

Rean couldn't help but ask, 'Does that mean our mission is over already? After all, the idea was to force them to s.h.i.+ft their forces away from the front line for the other Dark Element division to attack, right?'

Tixa narrowed her eyes and took a look far in the distance. She had to use Divine Energy on her eyes as the battlefield was just way too big. She was trying to pick up the junction between the Vigal and Jesvo Alliance's central armies. However, she couldn't see anything out of the norm. Both forces were in a stalemate in various areas, trying several tactics to break the other side.

Following that, Tixa took a Thoughts Transmission Talisman and used it to ask if their diversion was good enough. After all, it was a fact that the enemy forces did s.h.i.+ft their own forces to cover their appearance. The talisman then burnt out before Tixa took another one from her spatial ring. This one would be the Thoughts Transmission Talisman which she would get her answer.

She then came down to wait. 'I sent them a message, so let's wait and see. However, I can't see any movement from the other Dark Element division there.'

Roan shrugged his shoulders after that. 'Don't forget that we did find another enemy group heading in the other direction. Maybe they're causing trouble to them.'

Tixa found it strange, though. 'But I used another Thoughts Transmission Talisman to tell them about that. They should have been prepared.'

Roan nodded in response. 'And to be prepared, they probably had to move the other Dark Element division away. Or maybe some other defense and a.s.sault teams were supposed to be used in the attack. Just wait for their answer.'

It didn't take long, though. Tixa felt the talisman in her hand react before putting it on her forehead. At first, the message congratulated Tixa for making the Jesvo Alliance's forces move several of their divisions away from the front line. That was a good opportunity for the other Vigal Army's Dark Element division to come out from hiding and attack them.

However, Tixa's eyes turned cold right after, saying, 'It seems you hit the bullseye, Roan. After I sent my report about having spotted an enemy division approaching from the canyon, they couldn't use the opportunity regarding the enemy s.h.i.+fting its forces.'

Rean and Roan could tell that it wasn't the reason for Tixa's dark expression. 'So, what are they exactly asking from us?'

Tixa then explained, 'Not only do they want us to attack, but they also want us to open a gap in the defense line.'

Rean immediately shook his head. 'That's too much! It would already be hard to simply s.h.i.+ft their attention before trying to escape. Now the enemy moved their forces in response, expecting our attack. How exactly do they expect us to break through all their cultivators and reach the defense line? And on top of that, they want us to open a gap in it? This is ridiculous!'

Tixa agreed with Rean. In fact, even Roan narrowed his eyes. His idea was for the mission to be over as soon as he confirmed that the enemy forces had s.h.i.+fted because of them. That did indeed happen, but the commanders of their central army made a ridiculous request. 'That doesn't make sense. There's no way that the commander of our Central Army can't tell that his request is out of our scope.'

'Could it be that they want to see if we can make even more of the Jesvo Alliance's forces s.h.i.+ft in our direction?' Rean asked.

Roan shook his head in response. 'That won't happen,' he said as he looked at the position of the enemy's central army divisions. 'Unless the commander of Jesvo's central army is an absolute idiot, he won't move even a single extra soldier away from his defense line. The movements he made because of us are already his limit. It would be better to risk losing more soldiers from the rear than letting the main defense line collapse due to the lack of soldiers there. Simply put, we aren't worth that much.'

Roan then looked at Tixa and said, 'This is already out of the 'war sacrifices' that I told you about. Before, the sacrifice of our division made a lot of sense, and I accepted it.. However, having us dying there now wouldn't benefit our central army in any way as the enemy's defense line wouldn't change at all. With that said, why do I feel like they want you to lose at all costs?'
