Following the three-star Celestial Commander's threatening warning, the eyes of the Celestial soldiers turned red with madness. The three-star Celestial Commander was basically forcing them to die.
Suddenly, the three-star Celestial Commander was pounced on by several fear-driven Celestial soldiers. The sneak attacks caught him off guard as he did not expect to be attacked by so many "comrades."
As such, the three-star Celestial Commander failed to protect himself with his superior cultivation base at the third stage of the Divine Star Realm.
His fate could only be described as tragic after getting ganged by a group of frenzied soldiers.
Who was he to stop them from retreating when even the Blackshell General tried to abandon them and run?
