Chapter 274: Nightmare
274 Nightmare
Seeing their aura became equal, Morgan slightly narrowed his eyes. He released his Sword Intent to scare Leoz.
A fifty-meter radius invisible sphere, containing Sword Intent appeared on the area. It was his Sword Domain.
Leoz released his element even further. It was a bit lacking compared to Morgan"s. He prepared to use his True Spirit Body, but Alex made his move first.
Alex released his Spear Domain. His Spear Domain had a fifteen-meter radius. Although it was not too much, it was enough to balance the energy again.
Even though Alex had much to do with his cultivation and pill for money, he didn"t forget to practice his sword and spear.
His Sword Domain had a twenty-meter radius while his spear had a fifteen-meter radius.
Leoz didn"t have a Sword Domain even though he used a sword. As a spirit, he didn"t follow the normal way of Sword Cultivator and the like.
They did follow the cultivation stage, but not the weapon one. Each spirit had an overbearing Element so, instead of Weapon Cultivator, they decided to enhance their element.
Putri had released her Spear Domain too. The Spear Domain was equal to Alex"s Spear Domain. But Putri"s Spear Domain was not to confront Leoz and Alex. Instead, she moved between them to stop Morgan.
"Minister Morgan. We are in a war. If he were a spy, he wouldn"t give that information. He also had killed a few thousand soldiers in this war. He shouldn"t be a spy."
Putri took the pressure from both sides when she moved between them. Because of the pressure, she spat some blood. Alex immediately tapped Leoz"s shoulder.
With Alex"s hand on his shoulder, Leoz decided to back down. It was not because he was scared of Morgan, Alex decided to back down because he didn"t want to injure Putri.
Morgan decided to put off his pressure. "You are lucky. Looking at her face, I will stop right now."
He harrumphed and went back, forgetting his original purpose.
Putri wiped the blood on her mouth and apologized to them. "I"m sorry. We are in an intense war, and he had so much stuff in his mind. Please forgive him. There is reinforcement coming to this place to confront the enemies in the forest, thanks to your information."
"Hmph." Leoz snorted, but Alex tapped his shoulder again. Leoz then said, "You can go back."
After she left, Alex said, "You should watch out their "cannon" too. If he did something weird, we would leave the battlefield, and I will make sure he will regret their decision."
"Alright." Leoz agreed to it. Morgan had yet to cross the last step like Princess Mega or Eric Kasmanan.
Not long after, today"s battle finally started. Seeing there were only ten thousand enemies left, the people from the Southern Kingdom"s side were pretty vigorous.
The soldiers seemed not to know about the ambush. Daniel only told some important people to be ready for the ambush. He didn"t want to alert his enemy with much preparation.
He wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. He could only achieve it by playing a high-risk play like this and kill the Zhou Kingdom"s soldiers.
The war started again as soon as the sound of battle trumpets filled the battlefield. Alex and Leoz began to kill the enemy soldiers, but their speed was lower than the previous day.
They had been cautious against the cannons on the wall. Alex thought that the cannon wouldn"t be fired before the ambush came to the battlefield.
A few minutes after the battle started, the scout from the Zhou Kingdom had come back.
"They have started the battle once again."
"Good. We will go now, as soon as we enter the battlefield, eat the Berserk Pill, and kill as much as soldiers you can in five minutes." The leader said. Although his subordinates were reluctant to do it, they couldn"t do anything.
The units then moved out, they were charging toward the battlefield.
...
Not long after, the battlefield was chaotic. Leoz suddenly turned his head to the forest and saw many Martial Lords along with their troops.
The sound of trumpets echoed through the battlefield, and all of the people on the battlefield were alarmed.
"What... so many enemies coming from Nemu Forest."
"Our reinforcement has come. Let"s go. Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Southern Kingdom."
"Ooh!"
Their morale raised again after seeing the reinforcement. After all, they all knew their reinforcement was made up of elites.
The people from the Southern Kingdom didn"t know how strong the reinforcement was. So their morale was still high.
Daniel immediately shouted after seeing the reinforcement. "The enemy from the left. We are going to the left."
"We are going to the left."
"We are going to the left."
Many people started following his command and shouted too. They were the leaders Daniel instructed before the battle. They were supposed to lead fifty thousand soldiers to intercept the ambusher, leaving the other twenty thousand to kill the rest. But sadly, underestimating them was their worst miscalculation.
They didn"t believe that the enemy had that many Martial Lords, so they thought they could stop the reinforcement with fifty thousand normal soldiers.
There were around a hundred people that suddenly came to the front of Zhou Soldiers. They were the ones who were supposed to eat the Berserk Pill.
Before clas.h.i.+ng with the detachment, the people ate the berserk pill. They will go all out in these five minutes.
Initially, out of 450 Martial Lords from the Zhou Kingdom, most of them were 1-Star to 4-Star. But because a hundred of them ate the Berserk Pill. Their aura became even more ferocious.
The other Martial Lords also led their soldiers in the front. Because of that, the soldiers became even more fired up. Especially for the soldiers that were led by the ones who ate the Berserk Pill.
Their leaders" aura became even more ferocious like a demon G.o.d. With the demon G.o.d leading in front of them, even the soldiers behind them became an army of demon G.o.d. Somehow, with just the feeling, they could perform 120% of their might.
"Boom!"
"Gah."
"Kh!"
"What are them?"
"Argh, help me."
As soon as they clashed, the result was apparent. The Zhou soldiers immediately dominated them. This was the full out attack from the Zhou Kingdom.
"What?" Even Daniel was shocked by the sudden turn of events. He finally realized that the number was true. Just in this exchange alone, he could see there were more than three hundred Martial Lords.
"Not good. Retreat!" It was a nightmare for him and everyone else. They didn"t believe such a number because it was ridiculous, they refused to believe it.
Daniel wanted to retreat to the range of the cannons and changed the situation with the cannons. But his soldiers were butchered right and left. He gritted his teeth as he retreated back.
When they reached the cannons" range, he immediately shouted, "Fire!"
The soldiers filled the cannons with the ammunition and activated the cannons. The arrays on the cannons immediately glowed before shooting the cannonb.a.l.l.s.
"Boom Boom Boom!" All cannons immediately shot toward the enemy. A series of explosions filled the arena.
"Argh!"
"Gah!"
The cannon exploded fiercely, stretching its fang to the Zhou"s soldiers. Each explosion caused a hundred casualties, whether they died or heavily injured.
"Haha... We have been expecting this. Butcher them with our cannons." Daniel shouted in joy after looking at the explosions that managed to kill many soldiers.
But he immediately shut up. The Zhou Soldiers didn"t care about those cannons and continued their charge, especially for those Berserk Martial Lords. They will die anyway, so they will drag the enemies as many as possible.
Upon noticing the cannons, those Martial Lords immediately changed their path toward the cannons.
At that moment that Daniel knew he f*cked up. The cannonb.a.l.l.s worth a fortune, let alone the cannons itself. They couldn"t let the enemies destroy them.
"Protect the cannons!" He shouted.
The soldiers tried to stop the enemies, but the Zhou Kingdom was too powerful at the moment.
There were around twenty Martial Lords on the city wall, including Morgan. When they saw the battlefield, they couldn"t help but say, "What is this nightmare?"
Morgan was too shocked to see the number of the Martial Lords. The number was true. He regretted he didn"t believe that information.
The Berserk Pill effect was five minutes, but these five minutes were like forever in their eyes.
"Protect the cannons," Morgan shouted as all the people on the city wall immediately intercepted the enemies.
Sadly, he underestimated them too much, including their morale. Their morale was on the peak at this time. Those Martial Lords immediately surrounded the Martial Lords from the Southern Kingdom. Some even sacrifice his life to die together. Since they were going to die anyway, it was even better to die with the enemy"s Martial Lord.
They tried to utilize the cannons as much as possible. In three minutes, the cannons managed to kill around three thousand Soldiers from the Zhou Kingdom.
But all of that came with a price, the enemies managed to destroy the cannons, half of their Martial Lords were killed by the enemies, and they had lost twenty thousand in this exchange alone.
Alex looked at their situation on the side, furrowing his eyebrows. He had been using his Spirit Eyes this entire time. He could see there were around a hundred Martial Lords that used the berserk pill.
He was taken aback when he found that. He was wondering if the Zhou Kingdom was crazy. Those Martial Lords were the same as suicide soldiers.
But, if it was like that, then they also should come with a price. From his observation, they should only have around three hundred Martial Lords left in a few minutes.
It seemed they were not planning to conquer the Southern Kingdom. Instead, they just wanted to deal a devastating blow to the Southern Kingdom.
Of course, he could see high-level Martial Lords like Morgan or Daniel killing Zhou Kingdom"s Martial Lords. Sadly, it was far from enough.
Alex turned to the original Zhou troops. Even though they only had less than ten thousand soldiers, their morale was high. And the people from the Southern Kingdom had their morale plummeted.
"Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Southern Kingdom!"
"Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Southern Kingdom!"
"Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Southern Kingdom!"
The Zhou Kingdom"s used the last bit of their power to push back.
"Leoz," Alex called Leoz in the midst of battle.
"Young Master?"
"We will leave the battlefield today. So, I think you can use your True Spirit Body."
That statement astonished him. He pondered for a moment and nodded. Unlike Jeanne or Fabio, his True Spirit Body was not much different than humans. He will only get two horns on his head.
It was normal as Alex"s Flame Art, Sunlight Wing, also made him grow a pair of wings on his back.
"The battle shouldn"t be too long. The longer the battle, the more dangerous this battlefield will be, of course, in Zhou"s favor, we will escape if that happens.
"If there is a reinforcement that could turn things around, we will then immediately leave as soon as the war settled or if you can not hold on your True Spirit Body."
He considered Leoz"s time limit too. He remembered Anna said that the longer Leoz used his True Spirit Body, he would slowly lose his mind.
Leoz nodded. He raised his sword before he pierced it to the ground.
"Thunder Berserker True Spirit Body. Golden Lightning Body."
two horns suddenly grew on his head as his aura raised to the maximum. His previous yellow-colored thunder showed some glint as the yellow color turned into gold.
Leoz ran rampant on the battlefield, killing soldiers in one hit. He was astonished by Leoz"s power. At this rate, he might be able to level up in this battle to 5-Star Martial Lord.
Alex decided to get serious too. He released his Spear Domain, trying to kill as many as he can in this war.
