<h4>Chapter 589 Save me! (3)</h4>


    "How did ite to this?" The Midra Kingdom general whispered under his breath.


    As he led his men through this carnage, he couldn''t help remembering the words of the second prince.


    Were these the consequences of underestimating the enemy?


    But how could he have possibly expected something like this to happen?


    How could anyone have known about this?


    No, there was someone that had known about this. The enemy had known about this, which was why they had done all that they had done.


    They should have known that this was a trap the moment that the enemy retreated. The retreat came so suddenly that it didn''t make sense at all.


    They had just assumed that this was due to the ipetence of the enemymander when they saw their formation.


    No…the fundamental reason was because of the arrogance of the general.


    The general didn''t want to believe that the enemy was his match. He wanted to believe that the enemy was inferior to him, so he epted the conclusion that the enemy was a fool so easily.


    But just what kind of god was the enemymander that would know that there were these giant red worms here?


    As the general was slightly distracted by this thought, one of his men shouted, "General, look out!"


    The general looked up to find that there were sharp glowing arrowheads falling down on him.


    Though he was distracted, he was a soldier that had served for many years. He had an instinct that was developed over the long years of service.


    So the general was able to twist on his horse at the veryst moment to dodge out of the way.


    The only problem was that he twisted so suddenly that he wasn''t able to stop himself from falling out of the saddle.


    He dodged out of the way of the arrows, but he had lost his mobility…and he was surrounded by the giant red worms.


    This was without a doubt a very dangerous situation.


    But that wasn''t the general''s only concern.


    The biggest problem that he was facing now was the rain of arrows that fell down on his troops.


    When he looked in the distance, he saw that it was the enemy who were firing arrows down on them. These enemy archers had been hiding in the forest on the side the entire time and they had only started shooting now that their formation was inplete disarray.


    When the general saw this, he was certain of one thing.


    This had all been nned, they had fallen into the enemy''s trap…


    There was no way around it, the enemy''smander was far greater than him…


    So there was only one thing that the general could do.


    He looked around and found the corpse of one of his subordinates. Then without care for the dangers around him, he ran over to the corpse of that subordinate and started digging around in his things.


    When he finally found the thing that he was looking for, he lifted it up and waved it back and forth.


    In the wind, this white g danced as the general said, "We surrender! We surrender!"


    But even though this white g was raised, the arrows never stopped.


    The only thing that the general could do was wave the white g back and forth and shout, "We surrender! We surrender!"


    During all of this, he could hear the screams that came from around him.


    "Please help me! Save me!"


    "No, no, no! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die!"


    "Mom, dad, please save me!"


    These were cries of desperation from his soldiers, all of them pleading for help in some form.


    But there was no help that came.


    It was like hell on Earth as they suffered through the attacks of the giant red worms, the rain of arrows falling on them, and from time to time, explosions that fell from spells being cast on them.


    There was no escape, there was no hope…


    There was only despair as they realized that they had made a mistakeing here.


    The general could onlyugh like a madman as he waved the white g back and forth.


    His mind had beenpletely broken from this scene.


    …


    On the other side…


    "This is…"


    That was the general consensus of the soldiers under Count Zwein.


    As they watched the Midra Kingdom army being ughtered like this, they couldn''t help taking a cold breath and revealing looks of terror.


    Not a single one of them had expected this to happen.


    From time to time, they also turned back to look at Count Zwein who had a calm look on his face the entire time. They knew that this had to be his n, but they never thought that he would be so cruel that he would watch this with such a calm look on his face.


    It seemed that all of them had been wrong about him and there was a deep fear towards Count Zwein that formed in their hearts.


    They now knew…that he was not someone to be messed with.


    There were some of them that even wanted to ask him to save the Midra Kingdom army, but they couldn''t because of that fear.


    They wanted to save them since they were all humans and in the face of this ughter, they couldn''t watch this anymore.


    They could see the white gs that were being raised, but they didn''t go help them or ept this surrender since Count Zwein didn''t say anything.


    There were many in the archer unit that had wanted to stop shooting, but they had no choice but to continue since General Killock had personallye to supervise. Once they saw him, they were afraid for their own lives if they stopped firing…


    After all, Count Zwein wouldn''t send General Killock here unless he knew what they were thinking…


    So they were scared that they might be the next ones to die if they stopped.


    Just like this, this battle became known as the ughter of the Rising Land ins.
