Chapter 430: Start of the Grand Battle
430 Start of the Grand Battle
The others already gathered. It seemed the sect masters had arrived after evacuating the citizens. Even the Buddha Sect"s sect master, as well as the leaders of Thiveapia Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, and Hazel Kingdom, were present.
Of course, whether they were present because of the situation or not would be a different case. One thing was certain, part of it was because they wanted to see the Martial Kings that Alex called and, if possible, made a connection with Alex and them.
Alex did not care as he started telling them his plan. He looked at Letizia first and asked, "Have the disciples divided into two groups?"
"Yes. They have been divided into two groups and understand their roles. So, they should be fine. The only problem is we don"t know when to change with each other." Letizia reported.
Alex contemplated for a while. He then looked at Anna, "What about their leaders" heads?"
"This…" Anna looked down before glancing at Jeanne, not knowing what to say.
Jeanne looked at him and took out the "art piece" she made earlier. The sight immediately made the people dumbfounded. The first person who said out of reflex was the Buddha Sect"s sect master.
"Amithaba, are you not afraid by the retribution from Heaven…"
"Shut up, you bald monkey. What do you know? You should say it to those rapists or those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Zhou Kingdom. What about those hundreds of thousands of innocent people that were slaughtered with their blood extracted. All those poor souls that are trapped inside the soldiers" bodies because of that cursed blood pill, have you thought what their fates are?
"You should talk when you already know everything and don"t put those righteous words in front of me again if you don"t want to die. But, despite having done so much, where are you? You are not there and spread your righteousness… you are only hiding inside your own houses leisurely. You can"t be called Justice or people who walk in the light. You are just bystanders." Jeanne snorted.
"Mah, mah, Jeanne, I think you should stop at that." Artur immediately stopped her.
"Artur, do you want to have a season with me?" She glared at him.
"Ahaha… Look, Jean can be called anytime later, so you can throw all of your problems at him." Artur escaped while sweating. The people thought this child was really scary, not only her power but her personality.
"Jeanne…" Alex called her name.
Jeanne was a bit tense when Alex was speaking. She was prepared to face his anger.
"If you want to make something like this, you need to tell me first…" Alex sighed. "Now, I need to adjust my plan for a little bit."
"Ehehe… Master is the best." Jeanne said sweetly.
The people were taken aback on how docile she became after Alex talked to her. And the way she called Alex was like a subordinate calling its leader. They were confused about what kind of relations.h.i.+p they shared as a very young Martial King would even follow a Martial Lord.
"Still, no "playtime" for you… let see… one week is enough, I guess." Alex said.
"!!!" Jeanne froze. She said, trying to convince him, "Master, how about you rethink your decision…"
"I have decided, if you are going to negotiate with me, it will only go longer." Alex shrugged.
"Ugh…" Jeanne looked down, depressed.
"And, according to Anna, you seem to have used most of your power, already?"
"Uhh… There is no other way." Jeanne looked at the others, seeking for help. Sadly, the other spirits only looked away.
Alex took a deep breath as he contemplated for a while. Anya was also the same.
"The initial plan is still working, so we still stick with that plan. However, because Jeanne can"t kill the officers that could command the army, this will be the problem." Alex explained.
"Indeed, if we back them to a corner, they might try to retaliate without caring for their lives. Especially with those commanding officers… So, our problem is how to maintain their low morale." Anya nodded.
Alex nodded before turning to Leoz. "For that… I will need Leoz.
"I want you to pummel their morale when there is a spark of morale by using your "Lightning G.o.d Cannon." This way, we can extinguish the small fire with a bucket of water."
"Understood, but I doubt, I can use that skill again in this battle," Leoz said with an unsure tone. "But, I should still be able to kill ten to fifteen thousand of them, considering our battlefield."
"Alright. It is fine with me. Well, If I need you once more, I might need to force you with "that" so be prepared." Alex said.
"Understood."
"Anyway, since there are only 120,000 people left, it should be a bit more relaxed. I have killed their acting commander after all." Alex shrugged.
"Get the people ready, and we will engage them now," Alex said as he did not need to explain the original plan to the new people.
The elders from Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect immediately took their positions. At the same time, the new people were confused about what to do. They tried to ask the others and somehow found a role for them.
Alex then came back to face those soldiers. He flew up to the sky so that all of them could see him. He then said, "All of you have lost."
A few people came to the sky and glared at him. "Who do you think you are! Without your sneak attack, you won"t be able to kill so many of us! Now, you don"t have any means to kill us."
"People attack him again! But this time, don"t attack at a single spot. Attack every corner of this gigantic barrier. We will show him what it means to oppose an army like us!"
The soldiers immediately used their own skills, targeting the closest barriers.
"Spring Jumper!"
"Wind Troopers!"
"Lightning Bolt Charge!"
…
…
"Boom Boom Boom!"
They were attacking the barriers, but all they got was nothing. There was not even a scratch on the barrier.
"As I said earlier, your doom is inevitable." He said with killing intent.
"Attack again!" The officers roared again, could not swallow what Alex just said.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
They did it three times before stopping. The officers were gnas.h.i.+ng their teeth. If they did more than this, the soldiers would be exhausted. So, one of them roared. "Just you wait… our Martial Kings will free us soon."
"You mean these people?" Alex said while taking out Jeanne"s art piece.
The soldiers froze as they could not believe what they saw. They did not know about those limbs, but they could clearly recognize those faces. There were fifteen heads in the art piece, and they knew all of them were the Martial Kings that were supposed to lead them.
"Those are our leaders!"
"What? How can a mere Wilow Continent kill our leaders?"
"There should be no other Martial Kings in this continent!"
Alex smiled as he signaled for his spirits to show up together with Honda Sana and the sect masters, totaling eight Martial Kings. "Martial Kings? I have too, you know. Sadly your Martial Kings are too much a failure that they could not stand my people."
"We… we still have an army!" The officer tried to re-ignite the fire in the soldiers" hearts. They knew if they could not calm them, it would be troublesome. But before they managed to do that, Alex sent another signal.
"I also have an army!" Alex smirked.
Many people started coming toward him. He had chosen this terrain specifically. This terrain had a cliff and dark woods, perfect for concealing their people.
The soldiers could only see twenty thousand people at once, but they knew there were more than this. Without giving them a chance to think, Alex clasped his hands, opening the barrier.
He only opened two arrays in front of him, making a door that was a bit tight for sixty thousand people to fight. However, for him, this was a perfect door to conceal their actual number.
"Attack!" Alex roared as he raised his hands. Three fire phoenixes immediately appeared above him. Of course, two of them came from Sherry and Kyle. After the others came, they immediately hid in Alex"s body. The phoenixes immediately flew toward the people, and they did not manage to block this because of the shock.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
"Gah!"
Alex had killed a few thousand people again. Anna and the others immediately killed the commanding officers in front of Alex.
The soldiers started panicking with their situation. The other officers tried to calm the soldiers down, but they were already attacked.
Alex ordered Sherry and Kyle to continuously rain their firebirds down to kill as many as possible. He did not mind if they used all of their energy with this. Sherry and Kyle complied happily. Meanwhile, Alex started killing the people with his sword and spear, making him like a killing machine.
Even his allies, like Letizia, Charya, or the others, thought him as a monster. Despite being a Sword King and Spear King, Alex was still holding back. If he truly used his fire together with his weapons like this, Zhou Kingdom would be destroyed instantly.
They were terrified by how monstrous Alex"s real talent was. This was especially true for Xiang Bai and the others who had witnessed his G.o.dly master, Alex"s future was nothing but a.s.sured.
They stopped thinking about that and continued killing the soldiers. At the very least, Alex was their ally in this war. Of course, it was another headache for Buddha Sect or any other kingdoms since they were thinking about how to pull a relations.h.i.+p with him after this farce was over. All of them thought that, except Thiveapia Kingdom, who was secretly cheering for Evelyn. After all, Evelyn was Alex"s student, albeit unofficial.
Anna immediately used her power that was specialized in killing many enemies at once. The people were once again confused with the sudden appearance of b.u.t.terflies. There were around a thousand b.u.t.terflies, and each of them came to a different soldier.
Anna smiled as she stretched her hand, "Dark b.u.t.terfly, First Order. Marionettes."
The black b.u.t.terflies exploded but did no damage to the soldiers. They thought it was just a distraction and continued to fight. Unbeknownst to them, the dark energy already seeped inside their mind and slowly corroded it. Before long, they suddenly lost control of their body.
All of them suddenly raised their weapons or Martial Arts before destroying their own hearts. The people around them were bewildered when they saw that. They were trying to ask them, but the second wave of b.u.t.terflies had arrived.
On the other hand, Leoz was following Alex around since Alex needed to tell him the right time to use his skill. Of course, it did not mean that Alex chose a weak battlefield since he could see it from his Spirit Eyes. Alex and Leoz had been steadily killing the ones that looked like an officer.
This way, the soldiers were still in disarray and had no chance to fight back.
As for Fabio, he was flirting with Vera while killing the enemies. Each time they used a couple technique, they would blush and say something like, "It"s not like I am happy to use this with you, alright." and so on.
The most frustrated in this war was Jeanne. At first, she would go to the front line and busy with the battle, but she was stuck in the back, protecting Anya. She was a bit vulnerable as she was supporting the other spirits and Alex.
On the contrary, Greg was helping the disciples by creating a smaller s.h.i.+eld to minimize their casualty. And lastly, Artur was busy killing the enemies while helping the others like a hero.
And at this particular time, Alex finally found something interesting. He heard, "People, they only have twenty thousand people while we have more than a hundred thousand. Our leaders have been killed, but by no means, we will panic. Instead, we need to avenge them and kill these people!"
"Ooh!"
Alex frowned and called. "Leoz."
