Chapter 1338 The Escape Plan

Not long after, the right army led by Felicia and Erica assisted in the retreat of the injured people of the
Phoenix Master Clan from the east.

In the end, only the middle army left, including the elite warriors of the Phoenix Master Clan led by Jill,
the human spirit manipulators and the ten thousand troops led by Bryant.

"I'm afraid we'll have to pick up General Marcia first." Bryant nodded at Jill.

The duo guided their armies back along the same path.

Meanwhile, Marcia, Cherry and others from the Butterfly Divine Clan alongside members of the Dragon
Master Clan led by Moira retreated as well, fighting along the way to try and buy more time. But
because they were still outnumbered by the spiritual race forces led by Alston, they struggled to get rid
of their enemy for a long time. Gradually, they were surrounded.

But then, Jill and Bryant arrived just in time with their forces to join Marcia and the others.

"It's strange. Didn't the Phoenix Master Clan retreat? Why did they suddenly return? Do they have a
death wish?" Alston wasn't gullible. He immediately became suspicious.

Soon, Alston discovered that most of the new reinforcements were human spirit manipulators and only
a few elite Phoenix Master Clan warriors led by Jill.

He immediately understood what was going on. Then, he ordered two groups to chase after the
retreating enemy armies with one group heading the east while the other heading the west. He stayed
behind, intending to deal with the troops led by Marcia, Cherry, Moira, Jill and Bryant face-to-face.

For Alston, this was the perfect opportunity to get rid of all his troubles at once.



Because the majority of the Phoenix Master Clan members already retreated, Jill no longer had to
worry about her people. Previously, she had been worried that her clan would be completely
exterminated. But now, she could rest assured that the Phoenix Master Clan had a fighting chance of
regaining its strength even if she and other elite members were killed that day.

Soon, a dangerous shift in the air could be felt. A war was on the verge of breaking out.

"Go!" Immediately after Alston gave the order, over three thousand members of his army swarmed the
battlefield. Numerous types of guardian beasts charged like a herd of galloping wild horses.

As for Marcia and her team, only a few hundred of them were from the spiritual race. The rest were
human spirit manipulators. They were obviously at a disadvantage. However, they needed to fight with
all their might if they wanted to buy time for the other two groups to retreat.

A chaotic battle quickly ensued.

Due to the great difference in numbers, things didn't look so optimistic for Marcia and the others.
Fortunately, twenty thousand human troops remained. Otherwise, the situation would've been one-
sided.

The Glory Army boasted quite a few powerful ordinary spiritual beings that greatly outnumbered their
enemy's. Although Sabina and the other women were considered to be as powerful as the ordinary
spiritual beings along with Bryant and Lance, they were busy dealing with their respective opponents.

As for the spiritual masters on Alston's side, there were as many as ten. This included the elders who
possessed enough power to shake the earth with a single move.

To compare, Rocky's side only had three spiritual masters along with Jill. Adding Marcia, Moira, Cherry
and Kayla, there were only eight individuals who were of the spiritual master level. This meant that the
Glory Army still had the upper hand.



Fortunately, they were able to form a stalemate with Alston thanks to two legendary guardian beasts—
the Phoenix Master Clan's Ice Phoenix Queen and the Dragon Master Clan's Holy-blood Dragon King.
All this extra support meant they wouldn't go down so easily.

Soon, the legendary guardian beasts of both the Ghost Master Clan and the Giants Clan appeared—
making the upcoming battle even more thrilling.

The tension grew with each passing second. The elite warriors of the Phoenix Master Clan led by Jill
were by no means weak. However, they weren't in their best state due to the continuous fierce battles
they had to join over the past few days. To make things worse, they were being fiercely attacked by
Alston's ordinary spiritual beings and spiritual masters. The fierce attacks were like waves on a stormy
ocean, turbulent and ruthless. With all these adding up, the Phoenix Master Clan was having a rather
hard time.

As for the human spirit manipulators led by Bryant, Sabina, several women and some peerless masters
of the Divine Stage began to grow tired after a fierce battle. This highlighted the differences in their
strength and their shortcomings as human spirit manipulators.

"I believe it's time to retreat," Marcia proposed to Bryant once she saw the time had come.

Bryant gave the order and led both the human spirit manipulators and the human troops to fight
heading east as they retreated, leading away some of some spiritual race forces of the Glory Army.

Marcia then gestured to Moira and Jill. Soon, all the members of the Dragon Master Clan, the elite
warriors of the Phoenix Master Clan, and even Cherry with her Butterfly Divine Clan retreated to the
west.

Once he realized that Marcia and the others had retreated by splitting into two groups, Alston knew that
they were trying to separate his forces. Thinking their struggle meaningless, Alston then led the



patriarch and several spiritual masters of the Giants Clan, and a thousand spiritual race members to
chase after Marcia and the others to kill them all.

At the same time, he raised the Dark King Mace in his hand. All of a sudden, lightning flashed and
thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark wind was surging. A moment later, hundreds of dark thunder fell
directly from the sky, exploding a circle of light, and spreading around at the same time. In an instant,
wherever they fell, there were ruins and no bones left.

When Marcia and others saw that Alston was going to kill them as soon as he made a move, their
faces changed.

Due to the obstruction of the dark thunder, the patriarch and several spiritual masters of the Giants
Clan began to catch up.

"You all keep retreating. I'll stop them." Jill suddenly straightened up, turned around and rushed back.

The other elders of the Phoenix Master Clan, Cherry and Kayla followed her closely behind. Not long
after, they met face-to-face with the Giants Clan's patriarch and the rest.

"Moira, please retreat with the others," Marcia ordered Moira, knowing that blocking the Glory Army
wouldn't be an easy feat.

"I won't leave you here!" Moira retorted in defiance, not wanting her sister to put herself at risk.

"Don't worry about me. I've already figured out my escape plan." Marcia then suddenly leaped and
rushed towards Alston, wielding the almighty Flood Dragon Halberd to fend off Alston's attack.

Suddenly, an enormous halberd-like silhouette fell from the heavens and slashed across the air
towards Alston.
