Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 580

Under Smite’s lead, Gaia’s side suffered quite a big casualties compared to the original number during this war. From the original 150 soldiers, after this war, Gaia’s side had only less than 50 soldiers left. It was one-third of their original number.

Although Smite had lost quite a big number, no one complained about it. The reason was that Smite had also made their enemy, Regalia, suffered bigger casualties.

Regalia had lost a strategic outpost. This way, Gaia could use this outpost as their gathering point to attack Regalia’s main Bridge World cities.

Not only that but Regalia’s also suffered big casualties. From the original 200 soldiers that defend the outpost, none of them survived. Moreover, Smite also killed three-fourth of the Regalia’s reinforcements’ soldiers. It equaled almost 150 soldiers. This means, during this war, Gaia’s side had killed almost 350 of Regalia’s soldiers.

This big win made Smite’s name became popular. Previously, Smite’s popularity was only circulated inside the military. Because of how Absurd team’s way of act, Smite was popular because of his uniqueness. The small number of the Absurd team was one of the reasons. The other reason was because of Smite’s identity.

All of the people inside the military had seen how the higher-ups acted towards Smite. They acted so generously towards Smite. On the other hand, nobody knew about Smite’s identity. Hence, this led to numerous rumors about Smite.

However, Smite didn’t care about those rumors and acted as if he didn’t know and care about it.

Time passed by, and people started to believe some of those rumors, especially the rumors about Smite was one of the illegitimate sons of one of the higher-ups. One person had tried to investigate about Smite. He asked about Smite’s identity to his superior. However, his superior also didn’t know about Smite’s identity. His superior saw that his superior acted generously, so he also did the same. In the end, Smite’s identity was unknown.

When Smite’s identity was popular among the military, nobody outside the military knew that Smite was so popular. However, after this great victory, the a.d.u.l.ts knew about Smite’s name.

Meanwhile, the person in the talk was currently in a meeting with the higher-ups that already arrived at the outpost. The meeting’s agenda was to decide what next action for Gaia.

As the meeting in progress, Auron was waiting inside the outpost. Because of this great win, Gaia’s military had sent a lot of supplies and rewards towards the survivor. Auron’s both characters were included in the list of the rewards’ receiver.

The military had given the survivors a bunch of golds and a rare grade equipment set. Although this equipment set was not quite ordinary, it was better than Auron’s current equipment. So, Auron changed both of his characters’ equipment.

Unfortunately, there were no good mage’s weapons. So, Auron’s mage character still used his current weapon.

Because of the change in equipment, Auron was excited. He could save some money to upgrade his equipment. Moreover, it would increase his survivability in this war. However, Auron had to hide his excitement to save his face.

Among the Absurd team’s members, Auron was the only one who changed the equipment with the given equipment. This showed that the other’s equipment was much higher than the one that Auron used. As the vice leader of the group, Auron had to keep his charisma intact. Hence, he hid his excitement.

Auron also replenished his potions’ supplies during this moment. He had bought various potions at this moment.

Several hours later, the meeting ended. Smite, and the other higher-ups exit the meeting place. When they exit the meeting place, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Smite didn’t dilly dally. He directly announced what the meeting’s decision was. After the announcement, everyone was silent.

Just like everyone had thought, the next decision was for them to continue this winning vibe. There were two choices between them to attack, directly attacking one of the main cities or helping others capture the other outpost.

Both choices had their own advantages and disadvantages. Since there was a limited number of soldiers that could be dispatched, the effectiveness would be reduced a lot if they split their group. Hence, they had to choose one of the options. In the end, Smite and the higher-ups decided to directly attack one of the main cities.

Of course, the current number of soldiers would not be enough to conquest the main cities. Hence, Gaia had decided to concentrate most of their soldiers on this plan. And, Smite would be the leader for this plan hoping for him to continue his win.

Auron had guessed this progress. He knew that Gaia would not miss this momentum. And, attacking the main cities would be the chosen option.

Smite began explaining the general plan. They would only have 6  hours to prepare. After 6 hours had passed, the survivor from the previous war, combined with some of the soldiers brought by Gaia, would be the vanguard for this plan.

Gaia had brought 200 soldiers as a reinforcement to this outpost, and 150 of them would join with the next mission. So, in total, the number of soldiers that would join the next war amounted to 200 soldiers while the rest of 50 soldiers would be left behind to defend the outpost and arrange for the next group.

Obviously, 200 soldiers would not be enough to capture the city. Gaia had decided to dispatch these 200 soldiers to pressure the Regalia’s side and helping Gaia’s force to capture the other outpost.

At the same time, Gaia also had prepared to send ten thousand soldiers to help these 200 soldiers to capture the city.

While waiting for those ten thousand soldiers, Smite had been assigned to be the vanguard’s group. They were also assigned to grind the enemy’s soldiers. If possible, they had to intercept the reinforcement soldiers for the other outpost.

When the ten thousand soldiers had arrived, then that was the time for the real battle.
