Chapter 1563 1391: Making the Enemy Temporary Retreat!

Fred caught a glimpse of a dazzling radiance from the corner of his eye. He turned around curiously and was baffled.

There was a crystal sculpture of a young lady emanating a spotlessly white radiance in the deep mountain. The holy radiance grew increasingly brighter, and almost enveloped the entire sculpture. He turned around and spotted the exact same scene from the other end.

What's going on?

Fred asked dubiously.

Then, deep, loud explosions echoed as if an nuclear bomb had fallen.

In that instant, everyone lifted their heads instinctively. Three beams of holy light burst through the clouds and into the sky. Then, strong gales dispersed every layer of cloud and presented a clean, night sky before their eyes. However, it was different this time. There were three ritual circles hovering above, which shrouded the entire sky and endless golden lines extended to the horizon. The radiances from every sacred rune were as bright as the full moon. They were rules from the past, present, and future and they coalesced to form the most glorious poem and praise.

That was from the source of the Rule of Light and the core of the Holy Light, which was recorded and engraved in every corner of the rule framework on this continent. Up until this moment, it was summoned to display the power of the world with everything it had.

"That's the——!"

This was the first time Vandal revealed a horrified expression as he stared in the direction of the fortress. Not only him, but the Undead Creatures around him were also flabbergasted. They might hold high positions and were scheming, but now, they stood on the spot and gazed into the night sky blankly.

A silver-whitish line that was as thin as a finger projected from the sky and shone on one of the Skeletal Troll. It appeared harmless because the Skeletal Troll continued to move forward while the Undead Creatures on its shoulders were unaffected. But shortly after, they knew that they had made the wrong choice.

The runes that had filled the night sky shone.

Vandal lowered his head. The spiritual flames in his eyes seemed incomparably dull. But shortly after, they burned stronger.

"Retreat. Order everyone to retreat."

He issued the order in a hoarse, deep voice.

The Undead Army retreated like the tide toward the protection of the Dark Dragon Soul and waited for their next attack. On the other hand, the soldiers above the city walls exploded into cheers. They knew that this was just a temporary victory, but it was equally precious.

"Sir Overlord, they've retreated."

"I know."

Alex squinted and spoke with knitted brows. Although the others were excited that the Undead Army had retreated, he wasn't delighted at all because he knew that this was only an intermission. The Undead Army wouldn't give up just yet, even after they realized the existence of the Holy Statues. The Undead Army had other ways to deal with them. If not, the Light Dragon and Dark Dragon wouldn't be evenly matched during the Big War.

Alex turned around.

"I have something to attend to. I'll leave everything to you here, Captain Mila. Please report to me immediately if you discover any signs of the enemies."

Unlike the previous meetings that were filled with hopeless emotions, everyone revealed excited expressions this time. Most of them were like Fred, who didn't feel confident against the Undead Army during the clash. But the tide turned instantly after Alex activated the Holy Statues, which instantly gave them strong hopes. It was due to this reason that when he entered the meeting room, he felt everyone's trustful and confident gazes. If it was in the past, many of them would doubt in his abilities to resist the Undead Army.

But, it was a pity that he wasn't here to solidify their confidence. Instead, he was here to pour cold water on them.

What they thought was far from reality.
