Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 473: Chapter 248 Weak? The strong one isn’t human! (Two in One)_2

At that moment, she initiated a feigned attack on the surface, covering for two other groups of troops infiltrating the city.

Such collaboration from inside and out could quickly disrupt the defensive forces in Kalsec City.

However, brains cannot overcome overwhelming power.

Lilith’s side had only four Leaders in total, while the defensive forces had one Marshal and four other Generals.

Five powerful combatants were up against four, obviously giving the defenders the upper hand.

Furthermore, the battlefield was the Imperial Army’s main territory, and the Rebel Army was fighting on enemy ground against a strong adversary. Even if they created initial confusion by attacking from both inside and out, gaining a temporary advantage, it could not change the overall disparity in strength.

Within the city, the continuous sound of detonating explosives could be heard.

Even with the use of various explosives to compensate for their lack of combat power, the Rebel Army was still at a serious disadvantage against the Imperial Army.

If no reinforcements arrived, victory would be hard for them to achieve.

This was mainly due to the four Generals hidden within the city.

These Generals had somehow managed to infiltrate the city, and the Rebel Army had received no intelligence about this.

It was just like when Ryan’s team attacked Jerusalem City, where four Generals had also suddenly appeared.

Logically, the three cities—including Storm City, which Chen Mo attacked—should each have been defended by only one Marshal.

The Rebel Army’s combat strength was sufficient to handle a city defended by a single Marshal.

Unfortunately, the addition of four Generals critically impacted the battle, much like when Chen Mo was struck by Aina’s forbidden curse in Jerusalem City.

If an attack of that magnitude is launched without being promptly blocked, it is capable of annihilating an entire army.

This demonstrated the significant influence a General’s presence had on a battle.

In fact, the Rebel Army had not been entirely careless. They had estimated that perhaps two Generals might be present, which was why they had assigned four Leaders to each team.

But they never expected four Generals to appear.

According to their understanding, Storm City in the central region was the most crucial strategic point, so more Generals should have been stationed there.

Yet, only two Generals had emerged from the central route.

Of course, Kahn’s arrogance was also a factor.

As a Devil Marshal and a follower of the Dark Evil God Abyss, secretly controlling the Abyss God Cult, his combat power was indeed a significant cut above that of ordinary Marshals.

If he were to merge with the demon’s bone, all other Marshals and Generals combined would be no match for him alone.

Even without merging with the demon’s bone, his strength was considerable, and he was capable of defending Storm City.

Normally, after being defeated in Storm City, he would have escaped and continued to participate in the Abyss God Cult’s sacrificial rites to completely forge the demon’s bone.

That would have become an additional hidden mission.

Chen Mo, however, had reversed the order and completed this hidden mission first, killing Kahn before the demon’s bone was fully forged. Although the reward was slightly lower than for killing a fully empowered Kahn, at least the mission progressed very smoothly.

In one fell swoop, he killed Kahn, captured Storm City, and obtained a considerable sum of money.

His earnings were quite substantial.

Meanwhile, amidst the upheaval in Kalsec City, where soldiers were battling everywhere, six figures suddenly appeared within the city’s Teleportation Array.

Among them, five figures were exceptionally conspicuous.

Both the Rebel Army and the Imperial Army recognized them.

With the arrival of these individuals, the Imperial Army’s morale soared, while the faces of the Rebel Army members turned ashen.

One Marshal and four Generals had already stretched their forces thin.

If not for the strength of Lilith and her team, who were able to hold off five opponents, they would likely have collapsed by now.

Yet, even in such circumstances, the Imperial Army had received even more formidable reinforcements.

One Marshal and four Generals.

If they also joined the battle, what chance would the Rebel Army have to survive?

“Chief Commander! This is bad! The Imperial Army has sent another Marshal and four Generals! We need to retreat quickly, or we won’t be able to escape!” shouted the petite therapist Leader, Lucy, dressed in a purple long skirt, to Lilith, who was engaged in combat with two opponents at once.

Lilith frantically spun her dagger, her form blurring into dozens of images that attacked from multiple fatal angles, forcing back the Imperial Army’s Marshal and one General. Only then could she spare a glance towards the Teleportation Array.

When she saw Albert and the others arrive, her face turned extremely pale.

Damn it! Impossible! How could Ryan and his team have been defeated so quickly? And they didn’t even manage to kill a single one of these five?

Just before attacking Kalsec City, she had learned about Ryan’s situation through the Crystal Ball.

She had never expected Ryan’s side to be defeated so swiftly.

In fact, immediately after being rescued by Chen Mo, Ryan and his team had attempted to relay the news of their victory in Jerusalem City via the Crystal Ball.

However, as Lilith’s forces were already engaged in battle, no one had time to check the Crystal Ball; thus, they still didn’t know what had subsequently transpired in Jerusalem City.

Naturally, upon seeing the five Imperial Army experts appear unscathed, Lilith’s forces immediately identified them as enemies.

There’s no other choice. Retreat! Lilith thought. Although she still had powerful trump cards, the current situation made them difficult to use. She could only give the order to withdraw.
