Chapter 2291 Lone Army
Peter Brown commanded the army to quickly build fortifications here as messages kept coming in.
Just then, a team led by gene warriors split off rushed in with over a hundred people.
"Report!"
The gene warrior stood respectfully in front of Peter Brown.
"What's the situation?" Peter remembered he was in the central army and wondered why he came here.
"Reporting, Ten Thousand-man commander, our army encountered the foreign tribe, and after engaging in battle, the enemy's forces were too strong, causing our side to collapse at the slightest touch. I led them to break free and come here after."
"What?" Peter knew Joshua West and the others would inevitably meet the opponent, but he hadn't anticipated a collapse at first contact.
"What about Marshal?" Peter asked.
"I saw him killed by someone from the enemy. Right now, the central army is retreating towards this direction."
"Dead!"
Peter, knowing Joshua wasn't weak, was shocked that he died so easily.
Looking at the over a hundred individuals, Peter hesitated for a moment and said to the gene warrior, "You quickly set up a recruitment camp; looks like we need to gather some people!"
The entire northern region is essentially finished!
Without pondering, Peter realized that with the Northern Group Army defeated and Joshua West dead, the strongest force left might only be his army.
Unfortunately, he didn't have many people at hand; these troops were no match against millions of foreign tribe soldiers.
What to do?
Peter also understood that if he didn't seize this opportunity to rise, finding such a chance in the future would be extremely hard.
As he pondered over the matter, swarms of defeated soldiers came rushing towards this direction.
Peter used his four thousand soldiers here to gather personnel, and in a short time, had already gathered more than ten thousand people.
Upon hearing that Peter was the Ten Thousand-man commander, the defeated soldiers were willing to follow his command.
To Peter's delight, the group of over eight hundred he had dispatched began returning with their subordinates.
After reorganizing the army, the modified soldiers had formed a troop of nearly four thousand. It mustn't be underestimated; these close to four thousand became Peter's death troops, daring fighters essential for his battles.
While gathering troops, the situation of the defeat became clear, with the Northern Group Army utterly dismantled, many major generals were dead, hardly any escaped, while Joshua West's army was spared from the frontline battles. The foreign tribe specifically targeted Joshua, directly encircling his central army, leading to a massacre, leaving few survivors among the nearly twenty thousand in the central army, and generals like Joshua fell too.
"Move!"
After regrouping twenty thousand people, Peter's gaze turned sharp; having nearly four thousand at the spearhead allowed him to form a consecutive formation, perfectly capable of engaging the enemy army. If his subordinates could gather more defeated soldiers, it would significantly benefit him.
The gene warriors had no objections, swiftly entering the fray upon receiving Peter's command.
"Charge forward!"
After advancing for ten minutes, Peter Brown gave the order for his army to charge ahead.
The further they went, the more terrified Peter became, as the way was filled with defeated soldiers; the number was unknown.
With nearly four thousand gene soldiers possessing formidable combat power, Peter regrouped all visible defeated soldiers into his army, quickly assembling another ten thousand soldiers.
Now, practically everyone under Joshua's command had been gathered.
Looking at his subordinates, Peter now possessed nearly thirty thousand soldiers. After querying them, he discovered they included some speedy escapees from the Northern Army.
Finding and questioning these Northern Army escapees, Peter sighed deeply; it was indeed a massive defeat, with the foreign tribe soldiers advancing unstoppably, leaving Peter worried they couldn't hold out.
However, Peter learned that the Northern Army had around twenty thousand soldiers, and with a massive influx of defeated soldiers, gathering them could bolster his forces.
But nearly four thousand are simply not enough!
Peter quickly ordered to select over twenty thousand from the army and gathered them together.
Fortunately, Peter brought plenty of the liquid medicine; he mobilized nearly four thousand, not injecting them directly this time but had them drink a full bowl of the medicine.
Although the resulting gene warriors were slightly inferior to those injected, the difference wasn't vast.
The defeated soldiers had no clue why Peter made them drink the liquid, but didn't doubt much. Even those few skeptical, facing Peter's gene warriors, dared not resist, swallowing it all down.
After drinking, these twenty thousand fell to the ground.
With nearly four thousand gene warriors watching over them, these soldiers underwent modifications.
Mere two hours later, over twenty thousand gene soldiers awoke, followed by Peter strengthening their consciousness, converting them into loyal troops.
Having enfolded nearly four thousand more, Peter possessed twenty-five thousand gene soldiers.
With these twenty-five thousand soldiers, Peter continued gathering defeated soldiers while having the initial troops train the newly transformed ones.
These soldiers trained exceedingly fast, absolutely obedient and willing to complete tasks even at the risk of their lives. Many steps were omitted, just requiring them to obey and learn formations.
Before long, these twenty-five thousand soldiers quickly assembled into units, possessing undeniably great power.
Peter again studied the frontline situation; at this juncture, he had little hope for the frontline, realizing that some remnants scattered elsewhere but weren't of considerable use.
Half a day later, clearly, the foreign tribe's army was advancing towards them.
It became clear that the foreign tribe knew about their army and engaged in first mustering their power to obliterate Peter's army at once.
