When the snow empire forces saw, the sky empire troops retreating, the commander rallied their troops and attacked, with the transcending mortality experts moving forward, as the vanguards of their army to stop, the sky empire troops from escaping.

Whereby, as this was already happening and the transcending mortality experts, of the sky empire, saw the enemy troops, they tried to disengage from their opponents, but they were outnumbered by their opponents, even though they had a better foundation and thereby higher battle power than their opponents. But they couldn't disengage in time and were soon swamped by the enemy.

"what, the hell is this, are you guys crazy deploying so many troops, are you guy not afraid of the other empires attacking you, with the number of troops you have invested here" commander garret shouted with a fiery aura as an apparition of a half illusionary/ half real phoenix appeared behind him, which showed that he had cultivated his profound mystery and had almost, formed his totem which will allow him to break through to the earth realm.

"Garret, it time to surrender, the other empires have already surrendered except the rain empire and the sky empire, had been annexed by the great snow empire, so I think you and your troops should do so too and save yourself the trouble" a man walked out of the, newly arrived troops the man radiated a calm aura and as he stood there, a half illusionary/ half real gigantic whale appeared behind his back, the whale behind him was almost real and it was even mooing to the moon, and swimming in midair, it was as if the whale was alive.

" eternal wave king john even you are here, and what are you saying, that the other empires have been defeated that is impossible, just the snow empire can't conquer, three whole empires at once" commander garret said with trepidation in his voice, as he looked at the man he called the eternal wave king, this man was the number one transcending mortality expert, in the four season island, he was head and shoulders above the rest of the other experts, although eternal wave king John was not a once in a thousand years genius, on viscount Carey's level he was just a hairline below that so he was immensely talented.

So, for the snow empire to send him, showed their utmost confidence, as they would never send a person such as eternal wave king John, who had a chance to break through to the heaven realm, to a dangerous battlefield which could end up with him dead, was usually avoided. And in such a chaotic battlefield, although someone could have unrivaled personal strength could end up, being swarmed to death.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! yes garret, the only reason you could last, so long under the onslaught of the great snow empire, was because our forces, was concentrated in the other empires, the reason we decided to put you guys, on the same level as our great rain empire, was because of the existence of viscount Carey" eternal wave king john chuckled confidence could be seen radiated from him.

"We have already prepared something special for him, so we have brought four more earth realm experts, to make sure he and the other earth realm experts, that are with him are stalled until this battle is over. As we can't kill him because of his position in the four god sect, so if you had pinned some hopes, on him to come and save you don't, because he is definitely going to die and so are you. Men attack and destroy the sky empire."

As commander garret and the soldier heard this, they felt as if a heavy stone had dropped on their chest, as the place viscount Carey had in their heart was almost, that of a god, and they felt that as long as he was there, nothing could go wrong, that was why even though, they were outnumbered their morale was not lowered by much. But the news, that they just got from, the eternal wave king was ominous, as they were already outnumbered in the earth realm battle, and for the snow empire to still send, four more earth realm experts to the battlefield made sure that, there was no way to overturn this.

As this was happening James and his family members looked, at each other and knew that this battle was finally coming to an end since there was nothing which could change the path this war was going and trying to be like damming a river with your bare hands.

"son, brother, it's time to retreat out of here, the path of this war has been decided and it is not in our favor, so we have to get out of here fast, as if we are caught here we will be indentured. as it is not likely that the Raindragon clan, will pay the ransom for our freedom as we not that important, neither are we from the main family and they have to be careful, in the times of tumultuous change that was going to come. While the imperial family is finished who would usually redeem us," a look of frustration and trepidation could be seen on Sir Eric's face as he forced out these words.

When James, saw his fathers frustrated face, he could understand, his frustration as he had invested, a lot in this war and if it had gone in their favor, their family would have soared to heaven in a single step, but now everything was down the drain, and if luck was not on their side they might end up, as indentured servants.

"don't be so angry brother, we should keep calm and concentrate on how we are going to get out of here, you don't want your son to spend, the rest of his as a slave do you, so chin up we up we got to get out of here" uncle Sam said to sir Eric trying to cheer him up from the blow, he just received.
