Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 449 Chapter449-Swift Reinforcements for Storm City

Atop the Defend Wall of the Sunset Mountain Order Faction, General Yorick's condition was dire.

He had been barely holding on in a battle against two top-tier fighters, John and Karthus.

Although Karthus and John primarily targeted each other, the sheer force of their powerful spells and impacts left General Yorick unable to withstand the crossfire.

Utilizing the immense power of the devil wand, Karthus could amplify his magic to match John's level.

In the face of such formidable magic, General Yorick had no choice but to evade.

"If you're no longer able to fight, then retreat immediately. Join the other guards of Storm City at the Defend Wall and bolster its defense. I can handle Karthus alone. Your withdrawal will also allow me to focus entirely on our battle without the need to protect you."

John could clearly see General Yorick's worsening state and thus suggested that he fall back to the Defend Wall to join the fray with soldiers of a more comparable rank.

General Yorick hesitated slightly.

While he acknowledged John's strength, he wasn't convinced that John had dominated their previous encounters.

Could John truly defeat Karthus if he retreated now?

"Don't hesitate any longer, Karthus will soon launch another attack. We simply don't have time to discuss this much!"

John, noticing the hesitation on General Yorick's face, urged him to act immediately.

The brief respite they currently had was only because John had momentarily repelled Karthus.

John was intimately familiar with the characteristics of Karthus's devil wand, a weapon that could rapidly restore Karthus to his optimal condition.

If General Yorick couldn't retreat at this crucial juncture, he would stand no chance of withdrawing once Karthus launched his next assault.

With John's words ringing clear, General Yorick ceased his hesitation.

Nodding, he promptly returned to the Defend Wall.

Back at the heavily fortified wall, General Yorick took some time to stabilize his condition.

Meanwhile, he also discussed the current situation of the battle at the Defend Wall with his subordinates.

"The power of the Dark Faction we're facing is overwhelming," one of them reported.

"They've deployed at least ten Siege Beasts, and they're also equipped with incredibly powerful Demon Weapons."

Before General Yorick could respond, the quartermaster sharply retorted, "Are you out of your mind?! The situation is extremely critical! Don't spout nonsense. If you can't confirm this information, go back and investigate thoroughly before reporting back with the actual situation!"

The quartermaster was clearly skeptical about the attack on Storm City.

However, his disbelief was challenged when another guard from Storm City rushed in with more news.

"General Yorick! Magi from the Great Library of Storm City have sent an SOS! They are trapped in the upper levels of the library. Countless demons are assaulting the Great Library, and their defensive enchantments are on the verge of collapse."

The second guard's report matched the first, erasing any lingering hopes among those present.

It was now undeniable that Storm City had fallen under attack by the Dark Faction, and it seemed the assault there was even more severe than the one at the Defend Wall.

Faced with this dire situation, General Yorick didn't hesitate.

He pushed aside the map of the Defend Wall and the array of pieces representing troops and strategic positions.

"We must prioritize the safety of Storm City. I will head there to provide support immediately. Inform John of this situation and follow his commands in my absence!"

General Yorick announced, preparing to use the teleportation array to return to Storm City.

However, the quartermaster interjected, blocking his path, with more to say.

"What is it? Speak quickly! The situation is extremely dangerous, and we must hasten to defend Storm City!" General Yorick's impatience was evident.

The quartermaster quickly voiced his concerns.

To him, John, the adventurer, didn't seem entirely trustworthy.

"General, do you really trust this adventurer, John? Indeed, he saved Storm City previously, but do you really want all of us to follow his commands? Aren't you worried that he might be collaborating with the Dark Faction?"

Faced with the quartermaster's barrage of questions, the worry on General Yorick's face deepened.

He too harbored concerns about this possibility.

Trusting an outsider like John in such a critical situation was a gamble.

General Yorick, aware that time was of the essence, made his decision.

"Enough, we have no other option. If not John, then whom can we trust? Karthus, who is attacking the Defend Wall of Sunset Mountain? We must place our trust in John as our only solution. You are to follow John's commands because that is our only chance to defend the Defend Wall. Whatever your concerns, they must wait until after this battle is over. Besides, Duke Arsena has previously instructed us to follow John's orders, as he has great trust in him. If not John, at least trust in Duke Arsena's judgment."

Having said his piece, General Yorick stepped into the teleportation array.

The quartermaster, though still somewhat reluctant, chose to obey General Yorick's orders.

He went directly above the Defend Wall, where he relayed the news of Storm City's attack to John.
