Age of Adventure - Chapter 352 THAT TACTIC AGAIN
Aero right now does not look at all like a gentlemen or a scholar. Instead he truly looks like some kind of demons of the underworld
Most of the time when seeing such a gruesome scene, it usually would stop some people from continuing to fight.
At least some of them would stop trying to fight against Aero and run away from the battlefield
But like being driven by madness that is coming out from Aero reddish mist influence, these soldiers were also infected by the bloodlust that Aero is emanating.
They themselves desire to fight and spill out bloodshed.
They lost their rationality, and there is no shred of any survival instinct whatsoever. They just wanted to fight and kill
They dashed toward Aero like they were trying to offer themselves to be cut down.
This is because while these soldiers wanted to attack Aero, they have no idea of what they are doing. It is like a kid swinging a sword
As that is the case, Aero could easily kill them and their behavior is truly like giving themselves up to Aero sword
Aero did not know the meaning of being tired as he keeps wadding through these sea of people, making sure each step he takes, is filled with the act of killing.
Each slash kills a dozens of people and he had already swing his sword for the fiftieth times. And the rate of his swinging become faster and one could hardly distinguish the sound around Aero whether it is screams o shrieking.
Around his feet the ground is all mushy and blood flows like a river.
It is sticky and every once in a while, Aero would accidentally step onto the head of a person and crush their skulls unintentionally.
In Aero eyes right now, there is only blood.
He slashes and slashes and yet the soldiers did not stop coming to die under his sword.
When one is swarmed by enemies, an endless enemy that is, one could not be blamed if one wanted to give up
But instead of being demotivated and lost the desire to fight, Aero become stronger and the madness around him grows.
There is the sound of shrieking and screaming and all kinds of cacophony of sounds that would make even the bravest person chilled in their hearts.
Aero heard the sound of the horn and he could see among the gaps of the space between people that Antonius had managed to escape his guerilla attacks up there in the mountain.
‘There is many more people. I am excited to see if it is improved’ Aero thought as he slashes another soldiers that is charging toward him.
By now, his response could be said to be mechanical.
Each time he saw someone is rushing towards him, he would swing his sword and powerful sword force would be unleashed from his sword strike and cut that person into two.
Aero smiles because he wanted to know, if he uses Slashing Through Life and Death with his current concentration of killing intent what kind of destruction could he unleash
And who knows.
Maybe his achievement skill would also change and the title of Demon of the Battlefield would also be upgraded
He did not know. But he is excited to find out.
A cruel smile hangs on the edges of his lips.
On the other side, Antonius is rushing down from the mountain toward Alexander.
He frowned a bit.
He had already felt something was wrong when he tries to reach the top of the mountain. Last night when he was going up the mountain, everything seems smooth.
But halfway the middle he was attacked by some people.
At first he thought they were scouts of the enemy
They become more cautious as they believe that the enemy would soon found out about them. But at that time, Antonius is still not worried.
In his mind, even if the enemy found out that they have reached the mountain, it is too late since they are already halfway above the mountain.
But it turns out it is a guerrilla attack. He perseveres through it and reach Kyle camp only to find that it was abandoned
At that time, he knew there was a trap. Knowing this he had tried to rush down the mountain to warn Alexander.
But it is clear whoever planed this trap was prepared.
Each part of the journey is fraught with dangers and people trying to kill them and delay them.
There are not many people stationed on the mountain so Antonius quickly discerns the objective of these group that harassed his army.
He reached the conclusion that these group actually wanted to delay them and does not possess the ability to destroy their army
When he had reached his conclusion, he then rushed down regardless of the harassment that these enemy unit is doing
He had to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of his men because he tried to rush as fast as possible to report this to Alexander.
And that is why they managed to come faster than expected.
Antonius sacrifice the lives of his soldiers, not once he retaliated or chase the guerrilla forces. Instead he keeps moving forward all in the hopes of telling King Alexander that there is a trap
In the battlefield, Antonius then saw that around King Alexander there is a swarm of people fighting over something.
Antonius did not yet know that Aero of the East had made an appearance in the battlefield so he did not know what danger lies in the battlefield right now.
His cavalry keeps charging forward when suddenly all kinds of offensive magic was thrown onto them, a fire wall rises up out of nowhere and all kinds of Earth Bullet was shot toward them.
Kyle unit appear behind the back of Alexander rear and instead of attacking Alexander who is deeply protected by the other general, Kyle believe that he should stop the advance of Antonius form regrouping.
Quentin on the other side also knows what Kyle was trying to do and Quentin separated one of his unit to maintain the other flanks.
With how disorderly the battle is devolving right now, only the Vanheim forces is still able to maintain their military formation
Kyle without saying anything began throwing all kinds of magic attack toward Antonius forces.
They clashed with each other.
Antonius forces tried to force their way through.
Antonius frowned in the distance. If not for the fact that the other way was blocked, Antonius would have attacked from the south west.
Antonius had tried to rush down the mountain ta the sound of battle.
They wanted to cross the unguarded point on the south west, but when they enter a large explosion rocked the area around the fort, prompting a landslide to happen around the area which help even further Aero cause of making sure that Antonius forces would not have an easy time to regroup back with the main force of Alexander army
Aero also did such a thing during the Battle of Coro where he uses a reverse Empty Fort strategy. He blew up the fort.
And this time he also did it again
While magic fluctuation is easy to detect by other mages, the same could not be said for explosive
Since Aero had already planned to use Mount gryphon as his base and already planned to defeat Alexander from a long time, he is of course had already prepared for many possibilities.
He had expected that Antonius would have tried to go to south west, on the unguarded points. If Antonius managed to cross through that point, they would arrive on the battlefield, catching Vanheim forces by the rear.
Of course, Aero would never let that happen. Because once that happen, he would get caught unguarded.
Since he could see this matter, he blocked it in advance.
