The troops led by Zero were naturally elite forces of the demonic clan, able to tightly hold onto Arcade for two months without giving an inch.
They had all kinds of special operations units, including reconnaissance, combat, and tracking. Because of their overwhelming combat capabilities, Arcade himself could never fully deal with them, which is why Wen Yu had chosen to ignore this little tail behind him. Of course, there was also the intention to deliberately expose his own whereabouts.
However, the cat-and-mouse game always comes to an end. Three days later, when Wen Yu and Arcade arrived at a desert in Southeast Africa, the game finally reached its conclusion.
"Stay here and withstand the first wave of attacks from the demonic clan. I'll handle the rest," Wen Yu said.
"Don't throw me under the bus, big boss Wen Yu..." Arcade was not a good person to begin with, and he knew very well that Wen Yu wasn't a good person either. It was unrealistic to say that Arcade had developed much trust in Wen Yu over just two months.
Instead, Wen Yu patted Arcade on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry. As long as you don't die in the first wave of attacks, I'll ensure you're safe!"
At this moment, Zero was standing in front of a small dirt hill, gazing into the distance.
In the far distance, Arcade's figure appeared as a tiny black dot. However, against Zero's pinnacle level six power, that figure of the practitioner in a red trench coat was clearly discernible.
Physical quality is not only a measure of a unit's absolute combat power index but also affects the individual's various abilities—like vision, for instance.
Arcade's physical quality was pitifully low, and his eyesight was not much better than that of an ordinary person. At this moment, Zero was brazenly observing him, taking advantage of Arcade's inferior physical quality—this would naturally be the understanding of outsiders.
However, the focus of Zero's observation was not on Arcade himself.
As his gaze swept around, he could not find the figure he had anticipated. Zero squinted his eyes and kept pondering until his aide interrupted his thoughts.
"Sir, Lord Sig has arrived. The skeleton legion, Ancient Barbarian Legion, and black spirit legion have also reached the designated location. The encirclement has been formed. Lord Sig has issued orders for you to remain in place and cut off Arcade's retreat."
"Tsk."
On the surface, Zero remained expressionless, but deep down, he couldn't help but scoff.
The so-called cut-off retreat was simply a fear of him stealing the credit. However, this order coincided with Zero's own thoughts—over the past two months, Arcade had managed to escape from the encirclement of the demonic clan every time. Yet this time, the trap had been laid out, and Arcade was still lying there, basking in the sun. It was strange indeed!
Zero looked down upon this round of encirclement from the bottom of his heart. He even imagined the outcome of this encirclement in his mind—Arcade would kill an unknown number of demonic creatures and escape once again. But with Sig here, if his guess was correct, he should be able to force out Sequence Two, right?
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Zero gently nodded and turned to descend the dirt hill.
"All troops, advance!"
Watching his aide lead the legion toward Arcade's direction, a hint of expectation emerged in Zero's eyes.
Sig would force out Sequence Two, which would either lead Arcade to flee or unleash a massacre—this was Arcade's script.
But the reality, or rather Wen Yu's ambitions...
Far exceeded Zero's imagination!
As the army surged forward, the ground trembled.
Sensing the slight tremors, Arcade leaped up from the ground, and then a sea of blood slaves surged from around him, rushing toward the distant clouds of dust. Arcade himself seemed to sense the pursuers closing in, and with a look of panic, he ran in the opposite direction.
Until the sound of battle cries erupted around.
From above, it appeared that everywhere around Arcade was filled with scarlet blood slaves. These blood slaves looked like a solitary island, completely surrounded by overwhelming numbers of the demonic clan!
