Chapter 389: A Battle Of Strategies

Arkham didn't have much time, if they stayed still then the entire Empire would fall.

Thus, all the warriors were mobilised and willingly risked their lives for the nation to repel the demons and those who were left would be mobilised here.

Even if the casualties are much greater than they expected, they can't go back empty-handed. For those who would be able to come out alive, the reward will be more than one could imagine.

It was a burden Noah had to bear as part of their responsibility for making this kind of decision.

The focus of the operation had changed.

150000 troops mobilized at once who surrounded the Terror of Ranvier.

They have all received the orders from Noah and except for the troops holding onto the defence line, most of them were mobilised.

The aura swordsman would take the lead and the mages would follow when attacked, the soldiers from other areas would surround the enemy at once.

Noah made his decisions and the moment Alex revealed himself with a single attack, his troops would boldly surround him and take him down.

It was a tactic that required sacrifices.

Noah wanted to produce maximum results with minimum damage but before that, he sent a small square to inspect the Terror Of Ranvier.

He wanted to know what happened to the previous troops that entered there but unfortunately, even after one hour, the squad of 3000 men didn't return.

Bright light glinted as the aura swordsman ignited the path, and the swords glowed due to the manipulation of the aura and anyone that came into their radius would be exposed due to the shimmering shards of light covering them.

Being the torchman of the group, they wouldn't be able to exert their full strength and on top of that due to keeping aura, their mana would start to decrease but they had to take this risk.

They had a strong desire to win and they didn't flee away even if they became bait to kill the enemy.

With fierce eyes, they scouted for the enemy.

"There is no enemy here. Let's search there." The aura knight muttered as he took the lead.

The soldier behind him rushed with confident faces.

When they weren't able to find any enemies for long, the fear in their hearts lessened and the speed of their search increased greatly.

As they increased the pace and found no one in the way, they forgot their initial goals to scout and venture deep inside.

At that time, a faint ripple occurred as they stepped into a pool of water.

"Is there a small stream?" The aura knight muttered and lowered his sword only to find a small stream of blood flowing underneath them.

Since all of them had the blood of enemies on their cloth they didn't smell the blood flowing underneath as they were simply used to this smell.

For a moment, he was baffled and at that time the space around him fluctuated and something shot at him with unimaginable blood.

Slash!

The Aura knight's eyes widened seeing the blood flowing out uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Soon, Kinley soldiers who were nowhere in sight appeared out of nowhere like an illusion and attracted them once.

"Kill them at once!"

"Don't let them alert others." All of them heard a hoarse voice and saw a man as big as a bull, with a swift speed decapitating the enemies.

He spoke in a fierce tone as veins protruded from his neck.

The veins on his arms bulged as he didn't even let the enemies swing their swords.

He dodged the attacks skillfully even with such a huge body which surprised the Arkham soldiers, and as soon as they missed, his axe ripped them apart.

When the soldiers of Kinley first show Max hunting in this place, they couldn't believe it was Max who causes havoc every time he swung his axe and could hold himself.

Max was born with a strong physique and great strength, and when he started training all he did was swing his axe at enemies.

He didn't have any proper technique and had a lot of wasted movements. At initial, Alex let him grow as usual but once Alex became Master rank, Alex took the reins into his hand.

Alex had already expected the fight to turn out like this in the mountain so he had specially instructed Max to fight carefully and kill the prey as silently as possible.

Max stared at the corpse and remembered the scene where everyone argued about what to do and how to do their best in helping their liege.

Even though they knew that they were in a difficult situation where their life was in peril, they never wavered and kept their faith in Alex.

Before coming out of the camp, all of them just asked one thing.

"What are your orders and what do we need to do?"

The war wasn't something Alex could handle alone. It was a good plan to use the forest terrain and darkness to deal with the enemy but at the end of the day, except for Alex's men, the number of able soldiers to fight in this terrain was 2500-3000. Except for them, all others were lazy soldiers after staying on the defensive lines and were out of touch.

To that, Alex pulled out the maps and explained.

"The Arkham would surely pick our presence or would follow the soldiers from the third defence line till here. I and Riya would deal with them alone and lure them inside. They might underestimate us and send forces after us. At that time, we will use the traps we have laid to deal with as much as we can."

"The Arkham would see me as a thorn and would see a huge amount of force to pursue me and will try to take on the overwhelming advantage. I will prolong the battle and you all will start picking them up and as soon as the next day begins, while they are kept busy here, I will begin my work."

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aeon's sword flashed as he was so fast that he wasn't even visible to the enemy soldiers.

Multiple heads flew one after another into the air. And even though blood continued to gush out like a fountain on their bodies, Aeon didn't stop.

At that moment, he decided to surprise attack, he decided to grab the opportunity and push as hard as he could.

Behind him were his men who trained with him and had gone through a lot.

Though their skills still lacked, they were stronger than the Arkham soldiers.

"Everyone strike back!"

Arkham responded as the Mage took the charge and attacked them.

Aeon and his men climbed trees in one breath and jumped from one tree to another and they avoided all the Mage attacks on the ground.

Growing over the tree, they came above the mage and getting the opportunity pounced on them.

Arghhh!

Kuak!

Kuakk!

Kinley soldiers attacked the opponent's vital point and dealt with them without wasting too much strength.

The fight had been prolonged for the entire night. They even had lost count of the soldiers they had killed till now.

Alex knew that once he pissed them off, Arkham would pursue them like crazy and make mistakes.

But before the sun rose, something unexpected occurred that even surprised Alex.
