Chapter 126

They began to march steadily towards the surface then moved towards the war zone. What the scout team managed to gain was really important info.

He knew that the war went very smoothly at the beginning. The armies under Mamor control managed to gain victory in 10 different battlefields.

The goal was reached so Mamor stopped the assault and began to withdraw to the village. This was the moment when a new mysterious monster army appeared and surrounded the whole withdrawing army.

That caused great causalities to Mamor's army, especially it was already in retreat with high morale. The weakest moment of any army was when it was at his highest moral point.

That false sensation with invincibility mixed with complete security added most deaths to the Mamor army. With his remaining soldiers and generals, he couldn't retreat and became trapped in this area waiting for rescue.

This was no coincidence at all. The fingerprints of his enemies were obvious without any doubts. But he couldn't pinpoint the exact scheme of his enemy. What was the goal of such a move?

He must have known about the loss of his monsters down there in the underground world. Then what was this scheme aiming for? What was that guy's true goal?

That unanswered question made Ibro move with caution. When he neared the location of his trapped troops he ordered the army to stop.

"A new report just arrived. The front monsters numbers are around 100 million monsters. Their level is around 15 and the highest was 25.

There are no hidden traps and the surrounding area is a wide plain. There is no place for any army to hide. The numbers of our trapped troops are nearly 35 millions.

There are no signs from other strongholds near here. The monsters there won't reinforce here and that is normal. These monsters have no sense of comradeship."

Ibro listened to the report and thought deeply about it. Everything looked fine and that was unusual. He had a deep feeling of danger. There was something wrong here.

"I want you to plan this war based on the presence of deadly traps."

Froki asked in seriousness:

"Do you believe my lord we will walk into a trap when we try to rescue general Mamor troops?"

"Actually I believe we are already having walked into this trap. Plan our strategy based on this basis."

"In other words, we need to plan the rescue of both our troops, right?"

"That's right. Now, give me some brilliant ideas."

"May I ask if my lord has any idea about our current situation?"

Ibro sighed and then said helplessly:

"I don't have any idea about our specific situation. All I know is that we are already in that guy's trap. We need to act based on this fact."

"Unknown facts with our troops being already surrounded that's not the best situation at all."

Froki was muttering to himself in a soft tone like a whisper. Ibro didn't interfere and let him think as he wished. He also tried to squeeze his brain.

"If we have unknown danger then it's best to face that danger face to face better than trying to act in caution. The longer this situation continued the worse our situation would be."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we stimulate our enemy and push him to show his hidden move. This way we would know the truth of our situation and then try to solve it."

Ibro thought a little then said:

"I agree with your strategy. How do you plan to execute it?"

"To force our enemy to show his trap then we must move in two different directions at the same time. Our first direction will be towards these monsters ahead of us. We need to kill them all and free our troops."

"I believe that move will be exactly as our enemy wants."

"Yes, but we can't act freely with our part of us being trapped here.

As long as General Mamor's troops kept trapped here then we will never be able to escape this trap. Rescuing the General Mamor's forces is a very essential move for us.

We will do it now or later, so it's best to do it while we aren't pressured by any traps."

"Good point. Then what about the second move?"

"We will move outwards trying to create a safe way out of here. This move will instigate alarms at our enemy and it will force him to move."

Ibro thought about what Froki just said. These two points were important so he nodded in appreciation to his plan. Both of them then started to discuss the plan in detail.

After one hour the plan was ready. Froki started to issue orders to everyone while Ibro started to move leading his army to do his role. In a few minutes, the big army was divided into two parts.

One moved towards these monsters and the other was separated into ten teams. Each team was made of 500k soldiers.

That division of 5 million soldiers moved towards the back in rapid movement. Their goal was to secure 10 escape routes to the two armies. These two movements started at the same time.

After a few minutes, the front war erupted in a heated way from the start. Ibro's soldiers were at their highest morals as they had just won a huge battle. Their levels were above these monsters levels.

Also, Mamor's forces from inside didn't stand still as they started their feverish attack towards the monsters' army. In less than one hour, multiple gaps had appeared in the monsters' ranks.

During this period, the other ten teams had already marched to a decent distance and started to stand there in defense. Everything was going as planned.

Once Mamor's army found these holes in the monsters' army, they started to focus on these narrow escape routes trying to widen them. Mamor started to organize his troops to be ready for joining Ibro's army.

At this moment, suddenly there was a huge earthquake. A huge trembling appeared coming from the depth of the earth. The tempo of these trembles escalated without any sign of stopping.

Ibro felt that something was trying to emerge from the earth. Ibro's vigilance was raised to maximum. His hunch was true again. After a few moments, innumerable elevations from the ground appeared everywhere.

Each elevation was like a membrane holding something deep inside it. That thing was trying to come out. While Ibro was feeling doubt, there was a sudden loud voice appeared in the battlefield:

"Mix yourself with the monsters."

"Run immediately towards the monsters."

The two shouts came from Froki and Mamor respectively. Ibro was standing away from the monsters' army. He didn't know what was going on.

When he was about to issue a retreat order towards his army, these elevations burst open like a bubble and a huge monster head appeared from it.

Ibro felt weird as these monsters' heads were exactly like the monsters he faced before in Apidon World and Hilonar World. he watched these huge monsters swallow countless soldiers everywhere. There was nothing to be said as he screamed:

"Run towards the area of the monsters."

The road between his army and the monster's army wasn't long but it was full of these monsters.

Ibro didn't stand by watching as he used his runes to cause massive destruction in the road in front of him. These runes managed to create a safe road for his army to safely pass this disastrous area.

Ibro stood at his place trying to find a way out from here. He knew that standing here would solve nothing. Instead of rescuing Mamor's army, he added his own army to the hostage situation.

That was wrong. He looked towards the ten teams who were away from the danger zone. He looked towards the monster's army again. That area had become very chaotic.

Sooner or later these monsters would be killed and his army would lose their buffer. Ibro clenched his teeth and shouted in high loud voice:

"Follow my lead. We will get away from here."
