A Great Victory

Once that [God of Envy] died.

There was nothing else Natsume needed to do.

The entire [Jashin Cult] defensive line would collapse on its own...

Not to mention anything else.

Even the planet where the rear commander was stationed had been blown to pieces!

With such a huge disturbance, how could the people on the front lines fail to notice?

On top of that, they had been unable to contact their commander for so long and received no further instructions from that [God of Envy].

Those mid- and high-ranking officers with even a little intelligence quickly guessed the truth.

And began planning their escape.

Of course, to buy themselves more time to flee.

Those mid- and high-ranking officers naturally would not tell the truth to the low-ranking blood thralls;

They merely did everything they could to placate and deceive them.

Claiming that there was nothing unusual in the rear.

That their commander was still there.

That they only needed to follow orders and hold the line!

Once the battle was over, there would definitely be no shortage of rewards!

The lowest-ranking blood thrall cannon fodder had limited channels for obtaining information and found it difficult to tell whether the orders from above were genuine.

Besides, they lacked the ability to disobey orders.

Even if a small number of sharp-witted individuals had guessed the truth, they could not affect the overall situation or rally more people.

In short.

With an enormous number of cannon fodder, they could still delay things for a while.

And so.

Instead, it took several hours for the information to spread, and then it held on for another half day...

Only after some of the mid- and high-ranking officers had already fled.

And panic
