Age of Adventure - Chapter 351 FROM THE MOUNTAIN
And then they saw the dead body and they were shocked but at the same time relieved. The Vanheim forces on the other hand could only sighed.
Cut into two, is one of King Alexander friend, Prikrios.
In that split moment when Aero was attacked by all the mages and warriors attack, Prikrios, one of the closest generals near Alexander dash forward, push back Alexander and took Aero attack.
His fast response had saved Alexander life.
Aero at that time did not have the time to change his trajectory
Aero shake his head, looking at Prikrios left side and right side split into two and fall on different side of the ground, blood slowly flows from the cross section of the wound.
What a waste’ he mutters. Prikrios is an able commander. If Veranis falls into the hand of Vanheim Empire, Aero would love to see him under his command.
To die for Alexander is not worthy at all, he thought to himself.
As Aero think of this someone attacked him with a spear.
Aero did not even turn his body as he slaps the oncoming spear tip with his hand.
The spear tip broke into fragments of metal that scattered around the surrounding and the body of the spear is broken before also exploding.
‘Protect the King!’
The Veranis soldiers yelled.
Among the gaps of space between people, Aero eyes could see Alexander in the distance, looking at him with anger and hate, protected by his other retainers.
Aero just smiles as he kills even more.
His killing intent become even more thicker and his hair is slowly growing longer
Aero is not anxious to kill Alexander. As long as Alexander is in the Plain, he could not escape the fate of being killed.
As Aero is attempting to kill Alexander again, on the other side of the battlefield, the odds were visibly turning in Vanheim favor.
Pericles and his two other retainers were killed by Kyle. The flame is still burning on that part of the battlefield.
Kyle while he rarely fought in the front line did not mean he was incapable of fighting in the frontlines.
Once he went serious, he is always that powerful battle mage.
With powerful body and offensive type fire type magic, he had created a large fire on the back of the battlefield.
At the same time, he had reinforced the back and is now marching forward all the while the cavalry that Aero had left behind, is clearing the way.
A wedge formation in the front and a partial circle formation on the back as such Kyle had managed to stop any enveloping tactic by the enemy.
It is slow but it is effective. On the other flanks Question pluck out the battle axe from one Veranis general.
This could be attributed because of Aero attack toward King Alexander that forces many of the military unit belong to Veranis to abandon their spot and instead went back to reinforce Alexander position.
This creates a disadvantageous effect for the Veranis.
Gaps is everywhere and Quentin, Kyle and many other generals of Vanheim slip through the gaps and broke down each and every defenses that the Veranis soldiers conjure up
A lot of Alexander generals and retainer is being slaughtered.
They fight at dawn and now it is morning. This encounter between Aero and the forces of Alexander is leading to the calamitous end of King Alexander of Veranis.
At this terrible performance, suddenly the sound of horn blares about in the distance.
Some people look toward the origin of that sound and then to the shock of everyone they could see in the distance the banner of Veranis, flying up in the air
Alexander shouted in joy
‘Antonius!’ help has arrived.
Fifteen thousand men slowly descended down from the mountain, rushing to bolster Alexander forces.
Of course, because of the harassment of the guerrilla force that Aero had arranged beforehand, there is now only thirteen thousand men under the order of Antonius.
But that is still a lot of soldiers. It is not one thousand men. But thirteen thousand men.
Aero frowned but he did not stop fighting.
Instead he increases his pace, his swing become faster, his movement is reaching the speed and swiftness of lightning and thunder, only a flash could be seen before the enemy fall down to the ground, their body separated from each other
He is using his Divine Sword technique, countering each and every weapons that is targeted at him.
He might not have rushed Alexander death, but now, he had to quicken the pace. This decision surely has something to do with Antonius sudden appearance near the battlefield
As of right now, the variables of battle did not yet change that much.
It is still under his control. But Aero knows that as long as there are one variables that went out of his expectation, his plan could be spoiled.
Now, that he still has a chance, he need to take the chance before it slips away completely
‘My King! Antonius is here!’ Shouting these words, Antonius ride down the mountain with his thirteen thousand men, creating a tremor in the ground.
On the back Kyle who was calm since the beginning of the battle frowned deep.
‘Antonius is quite a good commander. I thought they would be delayed even longer. It seems Antonius did not simply become a general because of the favor of Alexander’
He was silent for a while, thinking of countermeasures to take and then he said.
‘Since that is the case, I too had to hurry up. Aero burden must be lightened.’
He sends his order for firework formation. This formation could only be used right now.
His soldiers would scatter and then regroup back. It could only be used when facing such disorderly lines and weak enemy like Veranis.
Of course, in the beginning, the enemy still have powerful momentum. But now, their morale is low, their force is inadequate, their force is scattered. As such, now, they are weak enemy.
But even as weak as they are now, they still pose not as a threat but as an obstacle for the forces of Vanheim to reach their objective.
Yes, Veranis right now have lost all morale.
Their center line is completely compromised and their left and right flanks had already crumbled.
Those who survived the sweeping attack by Aero cavalry either run from the battlefield or pretending to be dead among the piles of bodies.
Kyle quicken the pace as he began pushing his horse to move faster, riding across the plain
‘Onwards to the Chancellor. Eliminate all obstacles! Quicken the pace!’ He shouted and every soldiers move according to his order like a well-oiled machinery.
On the other side, Quentin and his army is also rushing forward.
They need to quickly reach Aero. No matter how powerful Aero of the East is, even he would be pressured if he had to fight thirteen thousand men by himself.
They of course did not forget that Aero once killed forty thousand men by his lonesome. They did not forget that.
But they also did not forget that after that, Aero was captured and was imprisoned by the Prime Minister of Veva and the King of Veva.
And if Aero falls down in this battlefield, the advantageous momentum that Aero had created would crumble just like that.
No one could have underestimated the effect of morale in winning wars.
As such, even if there is a slight chance that Aero could fall in battle, they would fight for that chance to be diminished
BOOOM!
all the soldiers in the Plain heard the sound of the crash and Quentin and Kyle charges even faster toward the front.
The forces of Antonius are colliding with the forces of Vanheim in the front lines
On the frontlines, Aero is already enough pressure fighting elite mages and warriors that try to cut him, bombard him to death, bind him with magic and all other kinds of attack imaginable
There were so many attacks that is concentrated on him, that most of the time he didn’t even know what kind of attack that is coming toward him.
Aero just keep hacking and slashing and slicing.
Aero had a trump card that he had saved.
And that is of course the Slashing Through Life and Death skill.
That is one powerful attack that have an area of effect that is determined by the killing intent that eh have. Aero right now is slowly resembling a demon.
There dark glowing veins on his face and his attack had this dark reddish glows that exploded out each time he strikes with his sword
