Chapter 898 Second Attack
While Lin Fan was digesting all of the information that he had received from the Gehenna Lion, the fighting outside was coming to a stop.
With Ying's help from the dark, most of the generals were able to clean up the World Realm Beasts that had attacked them.
While there were some that were still injured, this number was still much smaller than if Ying hadn't helped them.
So in all, this was considered a success for the Mu Stellar Kingdom army since they hadn't suffered any major damage from this invasion of their headquarters. But it was still a very large blow to them because it wasn't just the camp that would be in disarray after this attack.
This would cause delays all over the battlefield in terms of orders being sent to the various frontlines.
While there were generals on the frontlines to make decisions, they would have a lack of information with the disruption in the communication network after the attack on the headquarters. This slight delay in judgement would result in many unexpected changes on the battlefield which was not a good thing for the Mu Stellar Kingdom army.
At the same time, the headquarters was in charge of logistics.
With the headquarters being thrown into chaos by this attack, it would mean that there would be delays in sending supplies to the various different battlegrounds.
An army without supplies wouldn't be able to fight. Even an army with reduced supplies would have reduced power, so there was no doubt that they would be pushed back this time.
All of these were serious for the Mu Stellar Kingdom army, so they had to regroup as quickly as possible.
However, there was another disturbing piece of news that arrived during this time.
The Ran Stellar Kingdom army's camp had also been attacked by the Beast Race.
The only other option that they had in a time like this was to depend on the Ran Stellar Kingdom's camp for help. If the Ran Stellar Kingdom army had been able to send troops and supplies, they would be able to make up for the gaps in the Mu Stellar Kingdom army as a result of this attack on their headquarters.
But now that the Beast Race had also attacked the Ran Stellar Kingdom headquarters, there was no chance of this.
That was because the Ran Stellar Kingdom headquarters would be suffering the same fate that the Mu Stellar Kingdom headquarters would be suffering. They wouldn't have any extra troops or resources to send out to support them at all.
They couldn't understand how the Beast Race was able to send so many of their troops into both of their camps, but this was not the important thing. The most important thing was being able to recover from this attack.
It was just too bad that this attack wasn't over yet.
When Ying came back to the shop, she was shocked to find the corpses of the two Mid Star Realm Beasts outside.
Without hesitation, she pulled out her dagger and rushed into the store, but she found that there was nothing off with the store. Lin Fan was just still sitting there at the counter with a relaxed look on his face, as if nothing had happened.
When she saw this, she couldn't help feeling a chill run down her back.
He had taken care of two Mid Star Realm Beasts with such ease…Just who was this man?
Lin Fan looked up at her and said, "Oh, you're back. How did it go?"
Ying just stood there in silence, not knowing how to respond at first. But then she gave a nod and said, "It's all taken care of."
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Then can you help me take care of the two in the front? They came while you were away."
Ying couldn't help trembling when she heard this.
At first, it was just a suspicion that Lin Fan had killed those Mid Star Realm Beasts, but now that he had confirmed it, she couldn't help back her shock. The only reason she had even suspected it in the first place was because there was no other option, but she actually didn't really want to believe it.
But now that Lin Fan had confirmed it, she had no choice but to believe it.
This man that his majesty had found, just how many secrets was he hiding?
But still, she chose to follow his orders and went to take care of the corpses of the Mid Star Realm Beasts in the yard.
However, before she could take care of them, there was another explosion that rang out.
This time, it was different from the explosion that they heard before. This time, they felt the power of laws being scattered as the explosions rang out.
This time, it wasn't the Beast Race that was attacking…
This time it was the enemy Stellar Kingdom troops that were attacking.
The explosions rang out all over the camp, but most of the explosions were concentrated at the center of the camp where the main tent was.
It was clear that they had come to attack them with a target in mind.
They wanted to take down General Li, the supreme general of the Mu Stellar Kingdom army.
If they took down this supreme general, it would be equal to crippling the Mu Stellar Kingdom army's command. It would take a long time for them to elect another supreme general, but that was disregarding the fact that there wasn't anyone that could replace him in the first place.
There were no other generals that were on the same level as General Li.
While there were generals that were on the same level as General Wu, the previous supreme general, that would mean that the Mu Stellar Kingdom army would be falling back to the same level as before. This would make them much weaker and easier to deal with for the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.
When Ying saw this, she immediately ignored the Mid Star Realm Beast corpses and pulled out her dagger.
She was preparing to head to the main tent to help General Li, but before she could do anything, she found that she was surrounded by several World Realm Experts.
There was one that was in the Low Planet Realm like her and there were several Star Realm Experts of varying levels that were clearly here to back this Low Planet Realm Expert up. With the way that they were scattered around her, it was clear that they didn't have any intentions of letting her escape.
That was because they knew that if they let this person escape, she would be dangerous.
When the Beast Race had attacked the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp, the forces of the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms had already been lying in wait. They had watched everything unfold and they had seen everything that Ying had done.
So when they made their second attack, they made sure to send out a group just to take down Ying.
Otherwise, with her grasp of the shadow law, she would be unstoppable as she made her way through the battlefield.
When these experts had appeared, they were laid out in a formation that would prevent her from escaping even if she wanted to use her shadow laws. So Ying knew that if she wanted to escape this place and help General Li, she needed to break free of this blockade.
But she recognized that this wasn't easy to do because…these people had all come prepared.
So she called out her little minx that laid on her shoulder. This little minx almost seemed to meld into her figure, as if it became a part of her and laid there on her like cloak.
However, the moment that the minx had appeared, it was as if her figure had suddenly faded. But when one looked closely, they would find that she was still there and it was just that the outline of her figure had become more faint.
She was using the shadow laws to hide herself in plain sight, that was just the level of attainment that she had with these shadow laws.
The enemy Planet Realm Expert knew that this would be dangerous if he allowed her to keep going. Even he recognized that his attainments with his own laws couldn't compare to her attainments.
If they were to fight head on, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
It was a good thing that he had the support of all these Star Realm Experts.
The enemy Planet Realm Expert said, "All of you, activate the formation and lock her up! We'll slowly wear her down and take her out!"
All of the Star Realm Experts looked at him with a strange look, but since he was stronger than them, they listened to his orders. All of them released their domains that seemed to overlap with each other and soon there was a barrier that appeared in front of them.
This was an array that focused purely on trapping someone, so it was very ineffective unless used in certain situations. But this was one of those certain situations.
Using this array meant that they would be defenseless since they would use all of their life energy to maintain the barrier that would put pressure on the targets inside. With all their life energy being used, they wouldn't be able to defend themselves as long as this barrier was up. Even if the barrier was taken down, they would be exhausted from using this barrier in the first place.
So this was something that could only be used when they were certain that they would be safe.
The Mu Stellar Kingdom camp was in chaos right now because of the continuous attacks, not to mention that there were a bunch of experts attacking the main tent in the center of the camp. All of the Mu Stellar Kingdom's experts should be gathering there to protect General Li, who was the most important person.
They wouldn't send anyone to this store that was just to the side.
But at the same time, they had also made sure to leave a few World Realm Experts around to keep people from coming here.
It could be said that this was a very heavy investment, but if they could take out Ying…it was all worth it.
After the barrier was released, the World Realm Experts all released their pets to take care of Ying for them.
With the suppression of the barrier around her, Ying recognized that this was a very dangerous situation for her. Even if she fought all of these pets, she would use up all her energy and would be too weak to fight back or help out afterwards.
She couldn't see a way out of this safely.
