Chapter 1388: Cutting the Reinforcement

Jin had finally made the decision to seize this opportunity to end the Demon Rats within the tunnels for good despite the risk of them committing suicide and damaging the undersea tunnels those rats were being battered to a pulp and Jin’s Armies were moving closer to the centre of the Undercity.

He knew that the minion leaders would have asked for portals to materialise to save the troops so that impending loss was one he was ready to take. And now that Weslie had enlisted the Queen of the Western Region’s assistance, it was even more vital for her side to save them when the push came to shove.

Jin had also decided to push for the destruction of both the Demon Rat Armies within the Eastern and Western Tunnels in order to prevent the main city from receiving the reinforcements they would have wanted to have while the conflict raged on in the main city. The Demon Rats’ capacity to overpower Jin’s army and the participating cultivators would be further reduced.

So, he sent out Wyrstriker’s two other brothers in arms, Flame Ripper and Dread Reaver to the Western and Eastern Army separately via the Undercity accesses according to the System’s scan of the Undercity. When the teleport portals emerged at the entrances, the Demon Rats within the vicinity panicked as they did not know that the enemies could have known the access to the tunnels.

Up until this time, the goblin armies of Flame Ripper and Dread Reaver had been putting in a lot of work to cooperate with their commanders and earn the respect of their “guardian spirits.”

Shaitan Ifrit and the Lady who Governs Death were no doubt impressed by their efforts and had granted each of their armies with fundamental abilities, enhancing their capability to defeat their adversaries. Before bidding each other luck as they entered their designated tunnels, this particular fight had given both armies the chance to finally experience how the power of death and fire works well together.

The Goblin Armies kept the element of surprise they feared they would lose, especially given how cunning the Demon Rats were, because of how they quickly slew the Demon Rats protecting the tunnels; as a result, none of them was able to communicate the information back to the Demon Rat High Command. The Goblins, however, may have been able to foresee the Demon Rats to their expectations suitably because it takes one to know the other as they made sure that no news of the goblins’ presence was sent out.

This extra element of surprise had given the goblins more than just time to enter the tunnels but also booby trapped the dead Demon Rats so that any guards who had decided to investigate the situation would be killed by them as well. It was a dirty tactic but it was something the goblins had thought of due to substituting their lack of manpower to oversee the area.

However, instead of leaving the place unattended, the goblins had installed cameras and even motion sensors to ensure that if they were to enter the tunnels, it would give them sufficient time to prepare for an assault from the rear. Or if needed, they would split their armies into two so that they could continue with their mission.

But for now, their objective was to reach where the Demon Rats were within the tunnels and create a pincer tactic to ensure that the Demon Rats were pinned down and wiped out and that takes time which Jin desperately needed to oversee the next phase of the fight in the main undercity.

Despite the crazy dogfight above the Undercity, the Goblin Wyverns Knights with the aid of the Spitfires had finally managed to suppress the artillery bombardments by destroying those turrets but it did occur quite a fair bit of casualties upon doing so. There were even incidents where Goblin Wyvern Knight was way too fast that it had unknowingly intercepted the artillery shell, causing them to get hit by the attack and explode in mid air.

In the meantime, the Rooster Pilots also attempted dangerous dives to drop their limited number of bombs that were stored within the Spitfire before returning to fight the flying rats. Most of them did that despite the significant risk mainly because it lightened their planes allowing them to move faster and allow their fuel tank to last longer in the fights.

Most of them figured that they would die fighting against the flying rats since there was no exit given to them until the Royal Snake Zodiac Nerodia’s planes started to contact them and told them to exit when appropriate to refuel and rearm at the ship. The commanding officer, when saw how the spitfires fought, instantly knew that the pilots were definitely elites and not just amateurs that came from the Rooster Flying Academy.

He even sent out callsigns which only the Royal Zodiacs knew and now that they knew they could continue with the fight, most of the spitfires attempted to return to the Nerodia to rearm and refuel, which was all the more vital for them to lighten their load and ensure there was enough fuel to speed their way out of the Undercity and to the surface.

The warship cum aircraft carrier had thus sailed closer to the Undercity’s huge hole entrance as much as possible so that the spitfires would have a lesser distance to cover. The crew also made sure that they angled their ships in a way that it was easier for them to land without too much of a hassle.

But what surprised the spitfires was that the deck for them to land was in the middle of the warship and they thought it was once again a test to not crash onto the ship until they found out that the spitfire, as old as they thought it should be, was equipped with a laser guided landing system. Once connected with Nerodia, it was autopilot landing which made the Roosters laugh thinking that they were a fool to think too much.

And with the spitfires having a ship to refuel and rearm, the human’s air force was up and running for the entire war, allowing them to provide as much air support needed for the ground troops and cultivator to move forward.

Thus, Jin and the System predicted that they would be able to reach the edges of the city centre by the end of the day.
