I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 403

Chapter 403: Carving the Road Forward
Soon, an idea appeared in his mind.

“Store all the war weapons and board the shelter!” Nash ordered, letting everyone retreat.

Then, turning his head to the Void Marshals watching the battle, he called out, “Come with me. We’ll lead everyone!”

Jumping off Tsuka, Nash faced the tide of dark beasts with his own body.

Seeing this, the Void Marshals stood in a daze.

“We? Lead?”

They weren’t cows or horses; how could they lead the shelter that would need to travel for days or even weeks?

“Stop dawdling! The Commander is already at the frontline!” Camilla shouted.

Although she wanted to help, knowing her own strength, Camilla held back.

“Yes, Lady Camilla!”

Hearing Camilla’s voice, the Void Marshals no longer had time to think and dove into the battlefield.

Stepping into the place of the war weapons, they began to face the dark beasts with their bodies.

“Come on, follow my lead,” Nash said as he sliced through a tier 5 dark beast.

Seeing this, all the fear and apprehension in their hearts quickly vanished.

With Nash leading the way, what more could happen?

Furthermore, they were Void Marshals, the strongest force of the Star Alliance.

Soon, following Nash’s lead, over fifty thousand Void Marshals formed a formation, sweeping through all the dark beasts in their shelters’ path.

Like clearing snow from a road, they formed a neat line, carving a path for them to pass through.

From tier 4 to tier 5 dark beasts, as long as they could pose harm to their shelter, they killed everything.

Although faced with a large number of dark beasts, with Nash’s precise orders, they did everything methodically.

—

Meanwhile, at the back line, Camilla and the other leaders began to work.

Knowing Nash’s intention, they didn’t need orders to take action.

Without the war weapons dragging down their pace, multiple shelters with large-scale abilities to speed things up began to activate them.

Especially Tsuka. Lightening everyone with Gravity Manipulation, they began to feel like they were floating.

Although they couldn’t really fly, it sped up their pace, rushing forward on the road.

—

“Not bad. With this pace, we should be able to get out of the warning circle,” Nash said, heaving a sigh of relief.

Although it was convenient to use the war weapons to clear their path, it was too slow.

Not having any choice, they could only use manpower to speed things up.

Looking at it now, it was indeed a brilliant idea.

As long as their speed continued, even if all the dark beasts attacked them, they wouldn’t be encircled.

Of course, that was only if the dark beasts didn’t set a trap on their way.

If the dark beasts gathered a horde ahead of them, then no matter how fast they were, they were doomed.

“It shouldn’t be,” Nash muttered, quickly shaking off the thought.

If that happened, then the dark plane was really conscious.

—

Soon, with them leading the way, days began to pass.

Heading toward their destination, the dark energy density became thicker and thicker.

As a result, there were more and more dark beasts on the way.

Furthermore, not only were they numerous, their quality was also much higher.

Having a hard time, they unconsciously slowed down, unable to cope with the enemy.

“Just hold on a little longer. We’re about to arrive,” Nash encouraged them.

While the continuous battle didn’t have any effect on him, the Void Marshals beside him were already numbed.

They weren’t like Nash, who could slice the enemy in one strike.

Needing to use their full effort, each enemy they killed drained their energy and spirit.

While energy could easily be recovered by merits, their spirit could only be restored through rest.

Feeling their bodies aching from tiredness, they wished everything would be over.

“If you can’t even overcome this, you’ll be worse off in the coming raid,” Nash said coldly, seeing how slow they were.

“Yes, Commander!”

Hearing the cold words, their previous tiredness quickly vanished.

Thinking of his words, they realized they had indeed been too complacent.

While they would be using war weapons in the siege, the quantity and quality of the dark beasts they would face would also be higher.

If they continued to slack off like this, they might die without knowing.

Back to full concentration, their speed quickly returned as they flashed forward at full speed.

—

Soon, as another few days passed, Nash’s expression became solemn.

If they were being chased by a flood of dark beasts before, then ahead was like a tsunami heading toward them.

“Are all these the dark beasts attracted by the other alliances?” Nash guessed.

Seeing that they could be marked by the dark plane for destroying one of its main veins, then the other alliances should be too.

Being among the last few to arrive, Nash began to face the first consequence of their tardiness.

“Tsk, bad luck!”

Facing the excess of dark beasts that the other alliances had attracted, Nash could only swallow his frustration.

“Come on! Faster, faster, faster!”

Nash felt that if they were any slower, the dark beasts that the other teams attracted would turn on them.

—

Going forward, the Void Marshals finally understood what their Commander was panicking about.

A horde of dark beasts, an endless horde that could swallow anything.

Not having the confidence to pass through such a wall, they unconsciously stopped, planning to retreat.

What a joke. They still valued their lives!

Although they followed Nash’s orders, if there was certainty of death, they could retreat anytime.

Seeing this, Nash sighed.

“Don’t worry. I already called for backup. They should be arriving soon,” Nash said reassuringly.

Knowing their strength, he knew it would be impossible to face it alone.

Fortunately, they were already near the Solaris Alliance gathering place.

Calling for help, they quickly responded and should arrive in just a few hours.

“Hold on a little longer!”

Hearing that there was reinforcement, most of them quickly heaved a sigh of relief.

Steeling their resolve, they faced the tsunami of beasts without fear.
