As they watched the flames being lit all over their camp, the remaining troops of the Ran Stellar Kingdom couldn't help revealing desolate looks.
They didn't understand how it had happened, but they had been suddenly ambushed by the Beast Race.
These Beast Emperors had appeared out of nowhere and suddenly attacked their camp. However, working together, they were able to repel the Beast Race forces in the end.
To those with sharp eyes, they could even see that the Beast Race forces hadn't used their full power when they attacked their camp. It was almost as if they were holding back and hiding something…
But right before they could get any time to rest, they were suddenly attacked by the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom forces.
The situation in the Ran Stellar Kingdom camp was just like the one in the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp when they had been attacked. The remnant troops had been scattered and the ones that remained were fighting for their lives.
The difference was that they didn't have a beast wave like the one Lin Fan created to help.
While they would still most likely survive since reinforcements would come and this was deep in the Ran Stellar Kingdom territory, so the enemy would be forced to retreat, they would suffer large casualties because of this. This kind of large casualty might even cripple the entire Ran Stellar Kingdom army if they lost enough generals and troops.
The Mu Stellar Kingdom forces would have been in the same situation if it wasn't for Lin Fan saving all those people as he made his way through that camp.
At the center of the Ran Stellar Kingdom camp was the same situation.
The supreme general of the Ran Stellar Kingdom forces, General Fu was trapped inside of the central tent.
Even though he could see his men being cut down outside, he couldn't charge out like this. The only thing that he could do was wait and see if there was an opportunity or wait for reinforcements to come since he was completely surrounded by the enemies.
If he were to charge out, it would be certain that he would be cut down by the enemies surrounding them.
So even if it was cruel, he could only sit in this tent and wait…
But that didn't mean that it didn't eat away at him seeing his troops being slaughtered like this.
There were many times where he almost couldn't control himself and ran out to save them, but he restrained himself in the end. As the supreme general of the Ran Stellar Kingdom, this was his duty no matter how it hurt him.
As they watched, the generals around them also knitted their brows more and more until finally one of them couldn't take it anymore.
That general came forward and said, "General, I am willing to lead a troop outside as a distraction. I will lure their attention and create an opportunity for the general to escape."
Although it sounded brave, everyone knew that he was saying that he was prepared to go on a suicide charge. That was because no matter what kind of distraction he created, with how many enemies were surrounding them, it was impossible for them to break through.
What he really wanted to do was create as much room as possible so that as many of the troops outside could gather. As long as they could gather, they would be able to push through the enemy lines and escape, reducing the number of casualties that they would take.
But the problem with that was that it would reduce the overall number of troops they had to fight with…
In this situation, the best idea was to let the brawl outside continue as long as possible.
Simply put, the soldiers would be using their lives to buy them time for reinforcements to come.
If the soldiers outside could escape, that meant that more and more enemies would join the siege around this tent. Once they reached enough people, they would be able to storm the tent with their numbers and take down General Fu.
So in the end, the best idea was to leave them be…
But General Fu also couldn't watch his men die like this.
These were men that had followed him and had fought on countless battlefields with him, to let them die like this really was a shame for them…
Still, his duty as the supreme general came first and he stopped that general from charging out.
But before either of them could do a thing, there was a sudden explosion that came from outside. After that explosion, there were several other explosions that suddenly rang out all over the camp.
These were explosions that appeared in the center of the enemy formations.
When they looked closely, they could see the enemies being scattered from the force of these explosions.
All of the Ran Stellar Kingdom troops inside of the tent couldn't help looking out with wide eyes as they couldn't understand what was happening. However, as they kept watching, they found that the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom lines were slowly getting thinned out.
It was clear that there was something happening outside, but they didn't know just what it was.
However, at the very least, they could tell that it was something good for them.
Soon, the people in the tent were able to see that there was a different flag that was being waved outside. When they looked closely at this flag, they suddenly recognized it and couldn't help being surprised.
After all, this was the flag of the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
As far as they knew, the Mu Stellar Kingdom troops should have been fighting the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom troops themselves, so how were they able to send troops to help them?
But that didn't matter right now.
Since the Mu Stellar Kingdom troops were here, that meant that this was the opportunity that General Fu was waiting for.
As long as they worked with the Mu Stellar Kingdom, they would be able to push back the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom troops.
So without hesitation, General Fu led his men out.
The Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdom troops were already suffering since there was something strange happening in their lines.
Whenever they summoned out a pet to fight, there would be a strange shadow that would appear.
No one was able to keep track of this shadow, but every time this shadow appeared, one of their pets would suddenly turn to the enemy side. The shadow just jumped forward and almost didn't touch the pet, but then it would suddenly change sides as if it had realized something.
Of course, it was hard for them to fight their own pets, so many of them still held out hope that they would be able to bring them back to their side.
It was just too bad that they were soon overrun by the enemies.
After all, it wasn't just the Ran Stellar Kingdom forces that were attacking them, but also the Mu Stellar Kingdom forces.
When the enemy commander saw the flags of the Mu Stellar Kingdom among the troops, he couldn't help cursing under his breath.
He knew that there was another attachment that had been sent to take care of the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp, but here they were. So it was clear that the other attachment had already been taken care of by the Mu Stellar Kingdom army.
Not to mention, they had been taken care of this quickly.
If they had been able to hold out a bit longer, they would have been able to take out the Ran Stellar Kingdom camp and then grouped up with them to take care of the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp. Even if the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp was hiding some kind of big secret, it would have been easy for their combined group to take care of them.
After all, it would be two High Planet Realm Experts facing General Li alone. Even if General Li was recognized as a powerful expert, it wouldn't have been possible for him to escape.
But now that plan had all been ruined by that fool of a commander.
The commander of the group sent to attack the Mu Stellar Kingdom camp was a fool who only cared about his own benefits and own position. He was someone who was very lazy and didn't properly check the conditions of the battlefield.
However, because of his talent for cultivation, he was able to break through to the High Planet Realm and become one of their top generals.
Or at least that was his view of that person because he very much disliked that commander.
Still, there was no time to think about that now.
What he needed to do was figure out a way to deal with this sudden change in the battlefield.
So after thinking about it, the commander said, "Bring all the pets to the back and have them attack from long range. Don't let the enemy approach the pets."
He didn't know what it was that was turning their pets against them, but he could tell that it required contact. Otherwise, why would there be that shadow that moved through their lines from time to time, touching the pets?
So he figured that as long as he kept their pets in the back and attacked from long range, he would be able to rely on their power and suppress the enemy with them.
But it was also at this time that General Fu suddenly charged out with his troops.
In this one move, they had been completely surrounded.
