Lightning Is the Only Way

The beasts all charged into the water violently. As soon as they had arrived, stealth was already thrown out of the window. The enemy would notice them anyway since they were land beasts and couldn't simply act like sea beasts. Therefore, there was no sense in trying to sneak in.

Every human would think that such a frontal assault would be reckless and stupid, but that was only true for human standards. Beasts didn't have things like Formation Arrays and walls. All they had was some advantageous natural terrain and their bodies. All in all, it didn't make much difference to beasts if they were the ones attacking or defending.

Gravis was in the middle of the group while the level five Lords were at the front. The first thing they would do is find their opponents and fight, while Gravis would take out one level five Lord after the next.

After some minutes of charging, they already saw several enemies. These sea beasts had different levels, but most of them were only level one or level two Lords. One had to remember that this territory also had some weaker beasts living here.

These weak Lords were annihilated by the level five Lords even before they could react properly. The level five Lords simply threw some casual elemental attacks at these weak beasts, which was more than enough to completely decimate them. They didn't even care about leaving the corpses intact. After all, no beast in their army would care about such weak food.

In no time at all, the army approached the Abyss. Just like the Abyss that the River Tribe had had, this one was a deep hole in the ocean that worked as a kind of defensive barrier and headquarters for the sea beasts.

Gravis hadn't seen a single level three Lord or stronger on his way here, but that was to be expected. This was contested territory. A chokepoint like the Abyss served as the best defensive line for sea beasts.

Sure enough, as soon as Gravis saw the Abyss, he noticed an incredible number of Lords. Luckily for them, the enemy's numbers and power were identical to the intelligence they had received from the cheetah.

The enemy had noticed them, and they built a wall of beasts a little behind the entrance of the Abyss. Without killing these beasts, they couldn't proceed. Surprisingly, the whole wall was only made out of level four Lords. Gravis couldn't see any stronger or weaker Lords present.

Gravis' eyes narrowed as he realized the reason for that. 'With enough level four Lords, even a level five Lord might die. The fight between the Kings is what will decide which side will win the battle, but the fight between the level five Lords will decide which army will survive.'

Gravis looked at his own army for some seconds. 'The survival of our level four and level three Lords lays on the shoulders of our level five Lords and me. I would hate to be in their shoes right now, unable to have the power to decide my own destiny.'

Gravis sighed and shook his head a little. 'What am I saying? Isn't the fact that I need to rely on Heaven's generosity the entire reason why I'm even here?' Gravis thought with frustration.
