BXBX NOVEL Chapter 284 Outnumbered
Chaos surrounded the Gnoll Village as news of the massacre in the southern region came. The higher ones didn't know how to respond to the Leader. Soon another bad news story came. It was from the northern region. They heard that the troops sent to that region had been wiped out.
The Royal Instructor, also known as the Leader of Shaman School, got involved, and everyone sighed in relief. The old Gnoll thought about the situation before commanding the Scouts to survey both areas. He stopped any further reinforcement.
Multiple small, four-foot gnolls covered in Cloaks appeared; they divided into two groups and started exploring both areas. They were mounted on brown-feathered Moa birds that moved swiftly and carried them to their destinations in no time.
One day passed,
All-Star members noticed no further reinforcements had arrived; Rishi silently observed the area from the shadows. He saw a fast creature bypassing him; he followed its footprints and soon found out that a four-foot-tall Gnoll was mounting a Moa Bird and searching for something.
He guessed that it was a scout, and his eyes lit up. He started approaching the opponent after activating his concealment. He was just a few meters away and was about to attack when the Moa bird chirped and started running, leaving behind dust. Rishi was surprised, but when he saw that the Scout was escaping, he used his first Technique and created a chakram. He threw it and used his second Technique; his body turned into black smoke, and he entered the Chakram. He then used his telekinetic ability to increase the speed of the Chakram, and the next moment he was already beside the Scout. He activated the 'Chains of Shadow' skill; multiple chains appeared from the front and caught the Moa Bird with the Gnoll Scout. Rishi came out of the Chakram and activated his Killing Intent.
The bodies of both the Scout and the Bird shook in fear; they stopped struggling. Rishi held the head of the Scout and closed his eyes. White energy appeared from his hand and entered the Scout's brain. He started reading the memory of the Scout and searched for the location of the Scout's base. He was initially disappointed when he realized this Scout didn't know it.
He started searching for his past memories and learned a lot about how Scouts worked. He also realized that a big shot had taken this issue into his hands. He found out that the scouts had also been sent to the Northern region, which made him nervous.
He quickly eliminated the Scout and his Bird before retreating. He returned to their hideout and explained the situation to Dilip and others. The others had the same idea; they all decided to return to the North to assist them. Rishi was confident they would survive if a commander didn't attack them, but he also knew that all their plans would fail if they destroyed the Undead Army.
They mounted on the backs of their contract Beasts and started rushing toward North. They didn't stop anywhere and kept moving. This situation was severe, and the Royal Advisor would not hold back.
While Rishi, Dilip, Manu, and Jay were moving to the North, An Army surrounded the jungle in the North. Four Alphas, Two Shamans, and two Scouts could be seen patrolling the area. Leading them was the Gnoll mounted on a silver-feathered Moa bird; he was wearing shiny silver armor.
"You don't need to involve yourself in this small matter, Prince. We will make sure to bring back the heads of the ones that have dared to challenge us." said one of the Alpha Gnolls.
"I would not have come here by myself If you were useful. Four Alpha Gnolls have already been eliminated; what makes you bunch believe you are any different?" asked the Prince.
The Alphas gritted their teeth. One of them said, "We are different from those weaklings; we have fought multiple wars with commanders; they can't compare to us and our experience. Even our equipment is way better than theirs."
"We will see how capable you are In the battle. Have the scouts returned with the exact information about our opponents? Surround the area; I don't want even one of them to escape," said the Prince.
The scouts approached the Prince and greeted him before explaining there is an Army of undead at the forest's center. There are multiple undead soldiers there."
The other Scout mentioned, Prince, I noticed the presence of humans there."
They discussed among themselves how to proceed. The involvement of humans had made this very complicated, but at last, they decided to launch their attack.
Dev had already sensed the opponents. He asked Vinay to call his undead Army. They grouped up and decided among themselves how to proceed. Lalit and Dev decided to fight against the two Alphas, while Nina and Vinay's contract Beast would battle against the remaining Alpha.
Vinay decided to battle against the two shamans. They grouped up in formations and got ready for the impact. The Gnoll army started approaching the enemy, and the Gnoll soldiers started clashing with the undead soldiers. The battle continued, and as Alpha Gnolls started taking part in the battle, the members of the All-Stars started facing their opponents.
The first Alpha swung his Axe towards Lalit to hack him, but Lalit raised his shield and defended against him. His contract beast charged at the opponent and made him retreat. They exchanged many moves without any one of them having any advantage. Lalit was quickly able to defend against all the attacks. The frustrated Gnoll started attacking aggressively, but Lalit's defense was like a wall that stopped all the attacks.
The other Alphas laughed at him before starting to enter the war themselves. The members of the All-Stars also started to counter them one by one. The swords, Axes, maces, and shields started to clash with each other. As the battle continued, the undead Army started to lose numbers.
The Shamans joined the battle and started to chant spells and attack the Undead Army. Vinay pointed at the Gnoll Army and used 'Mega Corpse Explosion. Multiple corpses of Gnolls were blasted, and multiple Gnolls lost their lives.
The Shamans and Vinay started fighting each other. The war started getting bloody as it continued. The All-Star members were able to easily face off against the powerful Gnolls, but the opponent completely outnumbered their Army.
The only reason the Army was not wiped out was because they were undead and had high Vitality and regeneration. Even with them, they were barely able to hold on against their opponents. They could have escalated if not for the undead Army, which was important for their plan.
