142 Ambush

"What do you suggest, Jerold?" General Lorklan looked out on the battle. Howard clearly was trying to lead the soldiers into a trap, but they seemed to be avoiding falling into his hands. "Should I attack soon, or wait for the A Guardian to appear?"

"I think you should attack the East Branch directly. I mean! Sorry to be so presumptive sir, but I find it a little bit odd that Horned is here. He's one of their strongest. It seems to imply they know your location!"

Jerold did a slight bow out of nervousness and pointed at Howard. A white beam of Ki split into eight strands and attacked his body from all sides, however, he seemed to be extremely elusive. Using Dream Ki, he appeared behind another soldier and sent a blazing punch into his back. The soldier slammed into the distance before Howard returned to dodging attack after attack.
