Chapter 480: The Beast King Is Missing!

"What's going on?" the Beast King frowned.

Now that our Beast Clan army has completely gained the upper hand, how could there be any urgent military report?

Moreover, this messenger came from the north; I recall there were only a few subordinates stationed there on guard, with no other Beast Clan troops.

"Be... Beast King Your Majesty, urgent military news from the north!" the subordinate, having received permission, hurried forward trembling and then dropped to his knees with a thud, presenting a piece of beast-skin letter paper.

Urgent military news from the north?

The Beast King frowned first, but in the next instant, as if realizing something, his expression changed drastically; he swiftly snatched the letter paper from the messenger.

Confirming the seal on the outside of the beast skin was intact, the Beast King tore it open immediately.

Picking up the letter to examine its contents carefully, the more he read, the worse the Beast King's expression became.

"Roar! Damn it, how could this happen?!" After finishing the letter, the Beast King was already furious beyond control; he roared on the spot, as if eager to devour someone.

The surrounding leaders were all startled by this sudden change, not knowing why the Beast King had suddenly become so angry.

"Where are they? Where are those damn humans now?"

"Beast King Your Majesty, those humans have now arrived ten li away, being monitored by part of the Beast Giant army and the Great Leader Morar from the rear!" the messenger replied, shivering.

"Fools, all of you are fools! How could a mere thousand humans breach the Royal Tent Palace? You are not even fit to be compared to swine!" the Beast King was both furious and enraged.

"What? The Royal Tent Palace has been breached? This... this..."

At this moment, the Beast Giant leaders, who had previously looked confused, finally widened their eyes; they finally understood why the Beast King was so furious.

The Royal Tent Palace had actually been breached.

Inside there lives Wang Fei Princess Sukama!

But where did these humans come from?

And how did they manage it?

"You all stay here; I need to go to the north immediately," at this point, the Beast King delayed no longer, gave a command in his rage, and walked down from the high platform, preparing to head north.

"Beast King Your Majesty, then what about the battle situation here..." several leaders who were asked to stay hurriedly asked.

In such a situation, the Beast King was in a very bad mood.

If anything unexpected happened here, the few feared becoming the scapegoats, so they had to ask the Beast King first to confirm the next steps.

The Beast King paused for a moment, glanced at the one-sided battle situation, gritted his teeth, and said, "Under no circumstances are any of them to escape; the rest can wait until I return!"

Although the Beast King was unwilling, these humans would probably become the most important bargaining chips for him to exchange for Wang Fei Princess Sukama and his new prince.

"President, the light cavalry has already lost more than half; if we continue, I fear we will never have another chance to break through!"

"Everyone, since that is the case, let us begin the final Noble Charge! You must immediately take your offspring with you!"

"Yes, President!" Upon hearing this, the great nobles, though unwilling, also knew there was no better choice.

This Noble Charge was the nobles' only option when the battle situation reached its final moment.

That meant the great and small nobles would abandon all soldiers and break through alone.

Although the soldiers could be used as cannon fodder, at this moment they had become a hindrance.

On the contrary, the great and small nobles themselves were all Title Knights; gathering together, they could unleash high damage in a short time, making the hope of breaking through much higher than before.

Of course, this was only suitable for use at the final moment; although the hope of breaking through was high, it also represented greater danger and higher casualties.

The Beast Giants are not fools; seeing the nobles attempt to break through, their leaders would also join the battle.

"Adams, are you ready? Come with me now!" Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding hurriedly returned to his own formation and ordered Adams.

Adams was stunned, then his face went pale. "Father, has the President decided? But the soldiers are still fighting..."

Obviously, Adams also knew what his father's words meant.

"Adams, our army is now completely surrounded by the Beast Clan, so even if we do not make this choice, the soldiers cannot withdraw!"

"And by conducting the Noble Charge, there is still a sliver of a chance to escape; as long as we live, everything can still be salvaged, and in the future we will have the opportunity to avenge the soldiers!" Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding understood clearly that growth also requires a process.

This was the first time Adams had encountered such a situation; for him, it was obviously a huge setback, just as he had gone through it himself back then.

Moreover, he did not actually say that even with the Noble Charge, escape was not guaranteed one hundred percent.

The best possibility was that they, the old comrades, would fight to the death to open a sliver of a way out, allowing these young offspring to escape safely.

Thus, Marquis Marquis Aosiding confirmed again, "Adams, do you have the seal and the scroll ready?"

Adams gritted his teeth and did not answer immediately; instead, his gaze, full of reluctance, looked at the soldiers still fighting hard.

For him, this was absolutely a difficult choice.

"If Gervas were still alive, what would he choose? Would he support me in fleeing like a coward?"

"Report! Hou Jue my lord, the President urgently summons, saying to suspend the Noble Charge!"

Before Adams could utter his reply, an anxious shout came rushing in.

Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding was stunned, looking at the Guardian Knight who had returned in haste. "Are you sure?"

If the other party were not his own Guardian Knight, he would even suspect they were a spy sent by the Beast Clan.

"Hou Jue my lord, it is an order personally issued by the President!"

Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding fell silent for a moment. "Adams, you heard as well; the Noble Charge is suspended. However, you still come with me first!"

"Yes, Father!" Adams glanced at his father and this knight; this time, he did not refuse.

His father's expression just now was obviously not feigned.

Therefore, he was also curious about what exactly had happened and why the Noble Charge had suddenly been stopped.

Soon, the father and son hurriedly arrived at the President's location.

At this moment, the other great nobles had also received the news and arrived.

After everyone arrived, they immediately began asking the President what had happened.

"Everyone, look over there; just now, the Beast King left that high platform!" The President delayed no longer and immediately pointed to a wooden platform behind the Beast Giant army.

That place had originally been a high platform built specifically for the Beast King to direct and observe the situation.

So, the moment the Beast King's front foot left, the Grand Commander's back foot detected it.

And in the middle of battle, for a commander-in-chief to suddenly leave clearly revealed something out of the ordinary.

"Huh, the Beast King really left. Where did he go?"

"That's right! We're in the middle of battle right now, and the Beast King actually left — could something unexpected have happened?"

The great nobles, hearing this, also looked toward the high platform and indeed found that only a group of beastmen leaders remained there, while the Beast King was nowhere to be found!

"Grand Commander, could this be the Beast King's scheme, deliberately lulling us? So, wouldn't it be better for us to continue the noble charge!"

Although many great nobles were merely surprised by the Beast King's disappearance,

there were also a few sufficiently cautious great nobles who suspected this was a deliberate scheme by the Beast King.

The Grand Commander clearly could not be that careless; upon hearing this, he immediately pointed to the second unusual place.

"Gentlemen, if it were only the Beast King leaving, I definitely would not have called a halt for everyone, but look at those wolf knights over there — they have also stopped fighting!"
