Age of Adventure - Chapter 342 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO

On the other flank side Kyle was struggling with Pericles but on the other side, like a knife cutting through butter, Aero and his band of cavalry is cutting through the line.

The blade formation is a formation that only Aero could do.

Because of the requirement of this modified blade formation, other than Aero not many people would have the bravery to use it the way he is using it

He would act as the tip of the sword, cutting everything that is front of him with his strength while the cavalry behind him would uses their long spear to kill anyone that he had missed while keep moving forward.

There is of course a risk of using this kind of tactic and strategy. This would always give the enemy the opportunity to envelop their army

The only way to avoid that is to keep moving without stopping. And when moving, they must clear each obstacle around them.

Like fire travelling through a small hole of ice, it must cut through.

The key is speed.

As long as Aero could maintain his speed, the enemy could not envelop his forces They have to stop the front to engage the back.

But since the front, the tip of the sword did not stop moving forward, the back could not be attacked. Because they have to chase the back and that clearly could not happen unless someone could stop Aero fearless attack in the front.

The risk of this formation lies in that.

If Aero was stopped in the front, they could be enveloped by the enemy force from the back and attack from the front and back.

The enemy then would probably do a circle formation to slowly grind away Aero forces. A double circle or a triple circle would then seal the fate of Aero forces.

Of course this hypothetical conclusion could only be reached, if they could stop Aero. Aero would not have chosen to take such a risky strategy if he is not confident in executing it to perfection.

As such, those who follow Aero back must be brave and fearless. They also have to be fast, moving not too far away from Aero but not to close either.

Aero with his strength is unstoppable. The Curse of Styx is a privilege and a curse that is something that Aero is cautious in using.

But when he does decide to use it, he would not spare anything

There is no weapon and no magic in the mortal world that could hurt him.

The only reason why Aero rarely involves himself in the battlefield business after having the Curse of Styx is because he knew that the deterrence power he possesses is more effective than actually him fighting in the battlefield.

As long as no one knew, people would always associate Aero with invincibility.

Each time he went into the battlefield, there is always a risk that the world would find out that he had a weakness.

There is a reason why people fear the name of Aero of the East.

There is a reason why those adventurers when they saw Aero, they run away from the battlefield regardless of the punishment that they would probably be charged with after the matter settled.

This is because they all know that Aero is invincible. There is no weapon that could hurt him and magic seems to bounce of him like he is some kind of a deflecting particles.

But once it is revealed, that all it took is an arrow to his ankle for him to die, then that deterrence power would then be rendered useless.

There would not be such a scene where people are running away just by seeing his face.

It would not be like now where all the soldiers that is riding their warhorses behind him is full of determination and confidence that they would win this battle.

This is the reason why he rarely participates in battle himself. It is more profitable to appear invincible, than being invincible in itself.

But to the enemy, the current Aero is pretty invincible. There is no one that could even last one second against him as he slashes his Heaven Sword.

The power and the blast that is generated just by one slash of his swing kills dozens of people and cut them to pieces. They were cut so cleanly one could see their innards organs like some cross section of the human body.

The area behind Aero shows a gruesome trails of reddish muddy mushy ground.

These mushy ground is not only because of the morning mist but also because when Aero kills people and he charges forward, a stampeding force would appear a second later by the cavalry.

these cavalry warhorses would then trample down on the corpses. Their bodies were stampeded and mashed with the ground, turning mushy with the soils.

It is like one making a meat batter.

With each stomp, the bones cracked and the flesh ripped apart and mesh with the spoils.

One could hardly tell the difference between the ground and the meat of the people that had fallen.

None could stop Aero advancing toward Alexander. As such, the generals of Alexander also become more concerned as Aero come closer and closer to his objective

Pericles could also see this and he tried to break through and send a unit toward Alexander area

But how could Kyle who was seeing Aero effort let Pericles do such a thing. He smiles and then he shouted toward Pericles

‘Pericles, do you think I am a bad playing mate? Don’t go away. I am not done playing!’ he shouted and then he laughs.

He signals an order and the formation of his army changes it tactics.

Some move forward while some retreated uniformly to the back

Then they spread out and then move forward even more as the back move backward even more

There is like a circle that have many holes and there behind that circle is what appears to be unorganized units that slowly spread out and create line formation that is short and not at all long

there is a partial circle that is circling around Pericles area. There is also gaps in the circle formation.

Some of the enemy soldiers did not understand these tactics. They try to go through the gap and Kyle smiles

These soldiers were attack by both of the soldiers on the side before coming out from that gap only to find a few hundred meter ahead there is a line formation of Vanheim forces waiting for them.

The line formation pushed the soldiers back to the gap and then the soldiers that is on the side of that gap would collide with the enemy forces from left and right and from the top.

With that completed, the top would then merge with the circle formation creating slowly a circle formation around Pericles army, not letting any of Pericles soldiers to get out from that radius of control that Kyle had set up with his military formation

This is the combination of Kyle ingenious tactics and with the disciplined soldiers of the Empire ability to execute such a high level military formation it works perfectly

This is the testament of the Empire power when they are united.

Unlike Aero, Kyle is not the kind of generals that would fight in the front. His style is calm and composed.

This style is cultivated after his defeat from Aero.

It lacks the hot blooded style of Aero and lack that flair of charisma that differentiated Aero form his other contemporaries in warfare.

But Kyle always manage to minimize danger and damage to the core strength of the army and achieve victory with efficiency.

It is not to say that his tactics is better than Aero. One could say they are a different kind of generals

It is simply that the tactic Aero could do, is a tactic he could not do.

He could not be the tip of the sword cutting everything in his path while maintaining the same speed of movement

Aero on the other hand is different. His ability and his strength could break through the liens like they were some fragile branches from a tree.

He only need one slash from his Heaven Sword to cut down a shield wall and trample them down with his horses.

And then before the line could reform, the cavalry that follow Aero from behind would stampede them and pierced them with spears or slash them with their sword.

This is the difference between them
