Meanwhile, on the main battlefield...
Li Ce, who had already grasped the entire situation, wore an equally grave expression.
No matter what John had chosen at the time, there would have been advantages and disadvantages.
At the very least, the main battlefield had managed to preserve their advantage in overall troop strength. As time passed, the gap between the two sides' forces continued to widen, and there were even faint signs of a snowball effect! This had imperceptibly bolstered their confidence!
At the same time, in the center of the battlefield!
"Everyone, get over here!!"
Amid a thunderous roar, Marshal Adolf abruptly drove the massive shield in his hands into the ground.
[Earth Shield!]
In that instant, centered on the great shield, a gigantic earthen-yellow barrier rapidly unfolded.
As the barrier expanded, it seemed to carry an impact of its own. It slammed into several Vajra Realm greenskins that had pounced forward, sending them flying on the spot!
The impact left Blood Hand Great King's tiger web aching, while also making him clearly realize that their presence had been exposed. The enemy had long been prepared for their assault!
At the same time, taking advantage of this brief opening, the Saint Roland officers who had used the Earth Shield's barrier to neutralize their attack immediately launched a counterattack.
Seeing this, Blood Hand Great King's eyes flashed with menace. As he dodged sideways, the black-and-gold saw blade in his hand suddenly swept upward, ready to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, Marshal Adolf moved at that very moment as well. The Earth Shield unfolded once more, and the spreading earthen-yellow barrier blocked his attack while also sending him violently flying!
"WAAAAGH!!!"
Having run straight into Marshal Adolf's iron wall, Blood Hand Great King was in a foul mood after suffering two setbacks in quick succession.
