Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 579

“Hurry up! The outpost already on sight!” The Regalia’s reinforcements’ leader hurried everyone.

Meanwhile, inside the outpost, Gaia’s soldiers had prepared to ambush the reinforcements.

From the outside, the outpost seemed calm, and there was nothing strange. That was why the Regalia’s reinforcement didn’t feel suspicious. They hurried, and several minutes later, they arrived at the outpost.

“Open the gate!” The Regalia’s leader shouted.

However, there was no response from the outpost. The Regalia’s leader frowned. Then, he shouted once more. And, there was still no response yet.

The leader confused and turned around. He asked his vice leader about his opinions. However, the vice leader shrugged his shoulders.

The leader turned around once more and intended to call for the last time. However, before the sentence could escape his mouth, a signal flare flew towards the sky and exploded.

As someone who was experienced in war, these unusual things alerted the leader. Not only the leader but every Regalia’s soldiers were alerted as well. They immediately took out their weapons and observed their surroundings.

A minute later, three loud sounds were heard from the outpost’s direction. All of the Regalia’s soldiers looked towards the outpost and instinctively raised their weapons.

When the three mortars hit the groups, a shout was heard, “Attack!!!!”

After that shout, a rain of arrows and magic spells poured down towards the groups. All of these arrows and spells were the most strong skill or spell from the users. Not only that, but all of these attacks were area attacks.

The Regalia’s soldiers were surprised. They directly used their protective spell. However, several people reacted too late. This rain of attacks powered down towards the groups.

After the first wave of attacks finished, there came the second wave. Not long after, the third wave came.

From these three attacks, Gaia’s side managed to kill 50 soldiers. The first wave managed to kill 30 soldiers by surprise. Meanwhile, the second wave only reaped the life of 15 soldiers. And, the third wave killed 5 soldiers.

Actually, the attack didn’t stop until the third wave. The fourth and fifth waves came. However, both of these two waves didn’t reap any life because all of the Regalia’s soldiers had been prepared. The Regalia’s clerics also took action and started to heal everyone.

When the leader had seen the attack didn’t take more casualties, he intended to back first and rearrange the formation first before deciding the next move. However, after he gave the order and was about to move, from behind them, two big groups ran out from the forest and attacked them.

Smite, and Auron led these two groups. These two groups numbered 60 people. Almost all of Gaia’s soldiers were inside these two groups.

The Regalia’s reinforcement’s leader had believed the Gaia’s spies from before. Because of that, he had put a minimal heavy armored unit at the back of the formation. Moreover, he intended to hurry up, and this formation could speed up their march speed.

Because of the formations, the two Gaia’s groups, lead by Auron and Smite, engaged with the lightweight units. Combined with the surprise element, a massacre happened. Moreover, there were still ranged and magics attacks from the outpost.

Getting pincered from two sides made the Regalia’s soldiers pressured. They tried their best to escape from this situation. Meanwhile, the most pressured were fell upon the clerics. There were only 15 clerics for this big group. However, these clerics were not enough to support all of the soldiers in this situation.

The Regalia’s archers and mages were in a panicked state. They were like paper in front of Gaia’s heavy infantry units.

In a short time, 20 Regalia’s soldiers died under these ambushed. However, there was not enough time before Regalia’s leader brought several people and fought back Smite and Auron’s group.

“Leave all belongings and breakthrough from the encirclement!” The Regalia’s reinforcement’s leader’s commands calmed the soldiers and broke the soldiers out from the panicked state.

Then, with one goal inside their mind, along with the leader, they quickly engaged with Smite’s and Auron’s unit.

Another 20 soldiers died under Smite’s and Auron’s group. However, it was not enough to make Gaia’s had the same number as Regalia’s side.

Having a bigger number, Regalia’s side started to push Auron’s and Smite’s groups. Casualties began to appear on Auron’s and Smite’s group. However, they didn’t give up and kept on pressuring Regalia.

From the outpost, the rest of Gaia’s soldiers led by Jeffrey came out and attacked Regalia’s side. They intended to help Auron’s and Smite’s group.

The Regalia’s reinforcement’s leader gritted his teeth. They already fell to Gaia’s scheme and suffered great casualties. Then, he shouted, “Prioritize escaping and saving your life!”

The leader could not help but give the order to escape and saving as many soldiers as possible instead of killing Gaia’s soldiers.

After 10 minutes of intense battle, the Regalia’s soldiers managed to create an opening and used that opening to escape.

When Smite saw the Regalia’s soldiers were escaping, he ordered, “Chase them!”

All of the Gaia’s soldiers chased Regalia’s soldiers. However, after several meters away from the outpost, Smite ordered once more, “Stop! Don’t chase them further! Go back to the outpost!”

Smite decided to stop the chase and went back to the outpost. Although Smite could not kill all of the enemies, he still achieved a great victory.

Several hours later, the news about Smite’s great victory spread to the two sides. The Regalia’s side was furious by this news. On the other hand, Gaia’s side was celebrating this news.

Gaia would not let this victory went away just like that. They used this momentum to attack more ferociously to the other outpost. Meanwhile, they also sent several more soldiers to fortify the outpost they just got.

This outpost would become the foothold for their next plan. So, they could not lose it away. Meanwhile, Auron and the others were waiting patiently at the outpost. They were resting and waiting for the reinforcements from the main cities.
