Chapter 1380: Chapter 517: The Northern Expedition of the Royal Army_2

Owen Bertram didn’t give chase, as he still needed to stay behind and oversee the overall situation. First, he had to eliminate the hidden Demon Clan elites in the camp, then, taking advantage of the momentum of their victory, seize the chance when King IIias’ territory was empty of soldiers to recapture as much lost ground as possible!

From the moment when Harrison got 600,000 Ghost Soldiers from Owen Bertram, he had been dumbfounded. When Owen Bertram glanced at the distant sky, Harrison also saw the hidden Tire-7 Demon Saint. The reinforcements of the Demon Clan had actually arrived so quickly! What he had not expected was that Owen Bertram scared the powerful Demon Saint away by just giving a glance!

In Harrison’s heart, his evaluation of Owen Bertram’s real strength kept rising.

Harrison was incredibly glad that he had come out to support Owen Bertram, even though he hadn’t been of much help, but he had shown his attitude. In contrast, Rock George, that fool, was probably shivering in fear on the defending side of the pass, right? Hahaha.

With Owen Bertram’s thought, the ghost soldiers rushed into the big camp like a tide, passing by the Human Race warriors, catching the Demon Clan members and tearing them apart to eat!

The Demon Clan’s vitality was strong, and for Ghost Spirits, it was undoubtedly the top-level blood meal! Among the powerful Demon Clan members, all were in the central army tent being suppressed by Owen Bertram directly into the Abyss, leaving the remaining 7,000 Demon Clan elite warriors without top-level combat power, but there were several Tier-6 among the Ghost Soldiers!

So the defeated Rebel King’s army heard the Demon Clan’s continuous cries of pain, accompanied by the sound of their bodies being torn apart like tearing cloth. Then, blood and internal organs spilled, the ghost soldiers swooped in, not wasting a single drop of demon blood...

The defeated soldiers shuddered, all of them kneeling on the ground, not daring to run around.

Owen Bertram broke the Rebel King’s camp, captured King IIias, frightened the Tire-7 Demon Saint away, and it took less than half a Shichen (1 hour). However, with the 600,000 Ghost Soldiers combined with the elite Harrison army at Bottleneck Pass, it took them half a day to clean up the battlefield.

In the process, Rock George tried his best to put on a show! As a dignified Seventh Level, he personally supervised the battlefield, asking about everything in detail, not wanting to bother Owen Bertram with anything and insisting that he handle it.

Harrison chuckled secretly at the side, recalling how the dignified Seventh Realm had been sitting still with his eyes closed just moments ago. Heiheihei, in truth, General here actually preferred that arrogant Chief Escort from earlier.

Owen Bertram knew exactly why Rock George was trying so hard to perform, but he did not stop him. He was not surprised that Rock George was unwilling to follow Harrison to raid the camp to "rescue" him. If it were him, he definitely would not go either. However, that was your weak point, now in the grasp of Lord me, for me to manipulate. In the future, you’d better behave and work for Lord me obediently, otherwise hehe... Look at Lord me’s right hand, it’s very good at digging up the past. Now look at Lord me’s left hand. After digging up the past, it’s very good at beating people up!

As Harrison delighted in Rock George’s misfortune, he didn’t expect that calamity would soon descend upon him.

Owen Bertram ordered Harrison to gather his army and march into King IIias’ territory together. According to Owen Bertram’s plan, they would leave 50,000 elite soldiers to defend the Bottleneck Pass area, then, with the remaining 100,000 men and the support of his Ghost Army, capture King IIias’ territory without issue.

Owen Bertram had already consulted with Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane. The Imperial Court was gathering its forces, and a continuous stream of armies would be dispatched afterwards to restore the Great Wu’s rule over King IIias’ territory. Also, with 100,000 Harrison Army as the main force, they would set up the Great Wu’s new defense line under the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest against the Nine Witch Demon Court.

Following that, Owen Bertram would need three months to half a year to completely eliminate the remnants of the Demon Clan forces in King IIias’ territory, stabilize the rear, and then launch a full-scale offensive against the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest.

However, Harrison couldn’t gather the 100,000 elite soldiers.

He could indeed withdraw all the main forces of the Harrison Army, but in that case, the Bottleneck Pass area would be completely emptied, and he could only secretly and temporarily recruit new soldiers to fill the gaps in the Harrison Army. Harrison had confidence that if he really did this, Owen Bertram wouldn’t find out. But if there was any accident, the Bottleneck Pass would be in danger, and both he and the 100,000 Harrison Army would have their retreat cut off!

Owen Bertram would never spare him.

After struggling for a long time, Harrison decided to bite the bullet and go to Owen Bertram, stuttering out the truth. Then, Harrison put on the attitude of a scoundrel general: "Sir, I am admitting my fault after all, so please spare me a dog’s life..."

Owen Bertram glared at him: "You’ve got quite some nerve, gobbling up the empty pay of 50,000 soldiers out of the 150,000 quota!" Harrison cried out in grievance, "What did I even do? Sir, if you really investigate the other armies, you’ll find that those fellows are the real ruthless ones. Among the 200,000 soldiers, only 20,000 or 30,000 can actually fight. On the battlefield, they rely on these elites. If they win, the old, weak, sick, and disabled will be sent up, and if they lose... it’s a complete disaster."

Owen Bertram snorted coldly: "So you’re saying that you still have a conscience?"

Harrison felt things were heading in the wrong direction and shrank his neck a bit, then honestly said: "Not really, I’m no good either. It’s just that I’m guarding the Bottleneck Pass and I don’t dare to do such a thing. If I don’t have enough elite forces and the Demon Clan comes, my whole family will have to be buried with the Bottleneck Pass."

"Hmph!" Owen Bertram snorted coldly once more: "You only did one thing right: not lying to me. First, gather 50,000 elite soldiers to follow me on the expedition, and have the rest hold the Bottleneck Pass area tightly.
