#137 - Chapter 137 The Invaders Begin to Retreat

As Zhang Yuan spoke, the Fifth Order professionals instantly intensified their attacks, directly eliminating the invaders before them and severing their heads.

Near the dimensional portal, Fifth Order invaders lined up to exit and head towards the battlefield.

At this moment, the invaders responsible for sensory perception simultaneously opened their eyes, shouting in terror, "Don't go over there!"

The Fifth Order invaders paused, somewhat puzzled. The next moment, terror filled their eyes.

A spatial rift suddenly opened in the battlefield area ahead, and the headless corpses of Fifth Order invaders fell out, piling up into a small mountain!

Blood sprayed from the corpses, flowing downwards and staining a large area of the soil red.

This scene had a tremendous impact on the Fifth Order invaders, and they instinctively activated their defensive items, quickly retreating.

After a moment, one of the invaders composed himself and asked, "How many of the enemy's Fifth Order experts have died?"

The invader skilled in sensory perception wore a terrified expression, his voice trembling as he replied, "I can't sense it. All I know is that our warriors have all fallen in battle!"

The invaders remained silent for a long time before one finally spoke, "We've probably been tricked. This plane is very powerful. Tell the warriors to abandon the defensive line and retreat!"

"No!" Another invader shook his head. "We can't retreat immediately. We need to report to the Overlord first and let him decide. I'll go report!"

This invader hurriedly ran towards the dimensional portal, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing this, the other Fifth Order invaders also ran towards the dimensional portal, shouting, "He can't explain it clearly on his own. I'll go help him report!"

"I'll help him report too!"

In the blink of an eye, all the Fifth Order invaders who had just arrived ran back, leaving only a small number of invaders who mustered the courage to remain in place.

However, they didn't dare to run too far, staying near the dimensional portal, ready to retreat at any moment.

At this moment, a Fifth Order invader asked with a terrified expression, "Should we notify the warriors occupying the defensive line?"

An invader beside him took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and shook his head in denial.

"No, they know nothing about this right now. If we tell them, they won't believe us.

If they do believe us, they might collapse directly, and even more warriors will die.

We should conceal the information for now and find another reason to order them to withdraw to the dimensional portal area in an orderly manner. Also, tell them to avoid the area where the Fifth Order warriors died and take a detour back.

Right, before they return, block off all areas where the Fifth Order warriors' corpses can be seen and prohibit anyone from approaching.

Arrange for all low-level warriors who witnessed this to return to the plane and prevent them from leaking information!"

The surrounding Fifth Order invaders were terrified at this moment, and without thinking, they nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the invaders released energy, condensing words in mid-air to notify the other invaders around them.

The surrounding low-level invaders had long wanted to escape, but the Fifth Order invaders occupied the dimensional portal, preventing everyone from approaching.

Now, seeing the energy-condensed words, the low-level invaders swarmed towards the dimensional portal, pushing and shoving each other, completely ignoring the surrounding Fifth Order invaders.

Just then, a gentle force emanated from the other side of the dimensional portal, pushing all the surrounding invaders away.

Immediately afterwards, a wild dog wearing a crown walked out of the dimensional portal.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding invaders' fear dissipated, and they all prostrated on the ground, respectfully shouting, "Greetings, Overlord!"

The Overlord looked up at one area, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes, and said, "Withdraw the troops!"

Subsequently, the Overlord returned to the dimensional portal.

The many invaders felt somewhat complicated.

The Overlord had led everyone through countless victories and had never proactively requested a retreat.

In the past, no matter how difficult it was, as long as the Overlord appeared, all difficulties would be resolved.

Now that the Overlord suddenly proposed a retreat, the invaders felt somewhat lost.

After the confusion came joy.

Too many Fifth Order warriors had died. So many corpses piled up there created too strong a visual impact, causing all the invaders to subconsciously fear and want to escape.

However, fleeing was a shameful act, and the invaders couldn't flee with peace of mind.

Now, with the Overlord's order, there was no need to be ashamed of fleeing.

Subsequently, the invaders lined up and withdrew in an orderly manner, unlike the pushing and shoving from before.

The Fifth Order invaders also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

If they continued fighting, they might die at any time. It was great that they were withdrawing!

One of the Fifth Order invaders said, "Now, find a few corpses and have the puppeteers control them to spread the word, notifying the warriors to return!"

The Fifth Order invaders nodded and turned to leave.

At this time, in a certain part of the mountain maze, Li Xing and the Sixth Order professionals from other groups were hiding, watching the dimensional portal.

At this moment, one of the professionals said with some disappointment, "That Sixth Order Overlord discovered us and returned to the plane. What a pity."

The others were also somewhat disappointed.

However, Li Xing was very happy.

This dimensional portal appeared in the Iron Hand Academy area, so the Iron Hand Group would be the first to accept any future missions.

And the mission rewards for the dimensional portal would be based on the strength of the plane's top experts.

If this Sixth Order Overlord was alive, the rewards for executing missions on this plane in the future would increase by one level. If he died, the mission rewards would decrease instead.

The Sixth Order Overlord being alive would greatly help the Iron Hand Group's future development!

Li Xing smiled and said, "The invaders are about to withdraw their troops. I need to go back and prepare to reinforce the passage. Excuse me."

The others nodded and said, "Take care."

Li Xing left quickly.

The others watched Li Xing's back and said, "Although we helped resist the invasion and can receive missions related to this plane in the future,

we are too far away from this place and can't compete with the Iron Hand Group. I suggest that our subordinates take action immediately to seize the invaders' heads. Of course, not the Iron Hand Group's!"

The others nodded and said, "That's right, we can't rob the Iron Hand Group!"

"Our groups have a very good relationship, and we would never rob resources. Only those professionals who haven't joined a group would do such a thing."

"That's right, we need to guard against people who haven't joined a group!"

At this moment, on a certain defensive line of the Iron Hand Group, Zhang Yuan, who had Fifth Order strength, put away the communication token for contacting Li Xing, and then took out a pile of tokens for contacting earth masters, ordering:

"The enemy is about to retreat. All earth masters, ignore the mountain maze's defense and create stone walls with all your strength to block the invaders' escape and divide their ranks.

Also, tell everyone to put away the Iron Hand Group's symbols on their bodies, conceal their appearances, disguise themselves as professionals who haven't joined a group, and seize the invaders' heads. To avoid fratricide, we need to use Scheme Three for identifying people!"
