Doomsday Roulette

CHAPTER

“Sister Lei!”

“Sister Lei!”

When Xia Lei arrived, a chorus of greetings echoed through the camp.

Most of the warriors here were veterans from Cloud Summit, and some of the captains and leaders had followed core members since the establishment of Cloud Summit. They knew Xia Lei, and she recognized them as well.

However, now there were fewer and fewer of them left. Those that remained were the elite among elites, mostly eight-star evolvers.

This was the cavalry legion that had retreated to the rear for rest and recuperation.

After years of development, and with the benefits brought by the addition of Ten Thousand Beast Manor, the main battle beasts of the cavalry legion had reached level seven. The main mounts were the Mountain Giant Bear, Frost Giant Bear, and Rage Giant Bear.

Led personally by Little Tiger, the core team of twenty thousand was named the ‘Contempt’ team, fully outfitted in purple gear, with level seven battle beasts. The minimum standard was seven-star evolvers, with twenty-one eight-star evolvers and Little Tiger being the only nine-star evolver.

In terms of impact, perhaps the aerial troops and battle beast legion could compete with them, but when it came to comprehensive combat power, the ‘Contempt’ team, reflecting Little Tiger's flamboyant style, was undoubtedly the best after the departure of the red dress guard.

Such a team had lost nearly a third in previous battles, with two thousand directly killed and nearly four thousand injured and retired due to serious wounds.

This was still under the continual protection of other teams.

In the camp, many of the physicians from the support team were here, beams of healing magic shining one after another. A large quantity of potions was continually delivered, and some researchers from the gene institute were taking notes on something.

Those seriously injured warriors could choose to be transformed into gene warriors if they wished.

Park Soo-young was also here, continuously casting the gentle chain to heal the injured. The constant use of her abilities over the past few days had left even her, who was already at the top level, looking a bit fatigued. When she saw Xia Lei arrive, she merely smiled and nodded before continuing her work.

“Sister Lei, we can still fight!”

A voice suddenly shouted.

“Yeah, Sister Lei, we lost some brothers, but we’re not bragging. We still have most of our brothers left. Just give us some treatment, and we can continue fighting!”

“The cavalry legion has always been the main force of our Cloud Summit. How could we retreat after just one battle!”

“Sister Lei, even if we’re down to this number, our combat power is still not comparable to those peripheral troops. At the very least, we won’t collapse!”

“We want to continue killing beastmen!”

“Lord Tiger only seems to have killed that person’s mount. That guy isn’t dead yet. We need to avenge Lord Tiger!”

“Sister Lei, let us go. If we rest for a night, we can go into battle tomorrow!”

“Right, Sister Lei, don’t let us retreat!”

A series of voices requesting to fight immediately drowned out Xia Lei and her group.

The warriors of the knight order were feeling a bit angry.

In fact, they had always been used as aces in large-scale battles. What is an ace? It is a team that makes the final decision at a critical moment!

They would, at the right time, use their wild impact to tear through the enemy's formation, delivering the most lethal blow, and then the battle would enter its concluding phase, making them the main factor in victory.

But this time, they felt they were being used as regular forces… at least that’s what they believed.

These people wouldn’t question the decisions of Xia Lei and the core members; they had simply become accustomed to winning and believed that retreating for rest equated to failure! The cavalry legion didn’t need failure!

They needed to reshape the cavalry legion's unbeaten record with victory.

“I know how you feel, and I understand your wishes, but I’m sorry everyone; I cannot allow you to go back to the battlefield, at least not while the situation is still favorable for us.”
