Book 5-2.4

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After facing off against Venersis for the first time, Runa could feel the headache from his opponent in his bones.

In the end, I guess he is a War God of the desert.

Runa started to bite down on his lips.

It was a level of pressure he had never experienced before, strong enough to suffocate him. This pressure was certainly a level higher than even the pressure that his Lord caused against his enemies.

Runa accepted that fact. This was someone who had stood at the pinnacle of war for the last twenty years.

However, after experiencing it for himself, Runa found it amazing that Pareia was able to survive against such an enemy for so long.

50,000 warriors could not win against 30,000 warriors. Actually, after taking a look once the battle ended, he could see that he suffered more losses than the Shuarei did. This battle was totally his defeat.

He prepared everything he could, but it was certain that regular battle tactics would not be able to handle the might of Venersis.

Venersiss plan was simple. Just like Runa had told Yulian to do against the united tribe, he did not use any type of strategy. He just pushed forward and attacked.

Runa had prepared a lot of different traps as well as nets, ropes, and other things to trip their pirmas, but they were useless. Venersis did not even approach those areas.

Even the plethora of training they had done to prepare was futile. There was no way to surround or cut through Venersis and his warriors. Every method Runa tried out because of the numbers advantage became useless after Venersis moved around a couple times.

Venersis also had the same intuition ability that Yulian had.

Actually, Venersis was much more experienced with that ability when it came to using it in battle.

How could the heavens allow two such monsters

Runa could not believe it. He had stayed behind to fend off the Shuareis potential invasion.

In fact, Runa did not just prepare to defend against them. He had prepared to completely eat up the Shuarei warriors that attacked. He wanted to land a heavy blow to the Shuarei so that they could attack as soon as the Glow returned. He wanted to make it so that the Shuarei would not be able to even think about attacking for at least a short period of time.

But he could tell with todays battle.

Venersis. He was also someone who could only be fought off with a defensive plan. You needed to wait for either Venersis to make a mistake, or the perfect opportunity to come your way.

For even me to be unable to do anything even with the greater number of warriors.

Runa had a bitter smile on his face.

At that moment, Pere entered into Runas paoe.

Are you okay, Runa-nim?

Ah! Pere-nim, good work today.

Good work...I was overpowered by his pressure today and did not manage to do anything right.

As Pere also put on a bitter smile and responded, Runa shook his head.

Other than the Glow, who would be able to fight against that Venersis for ten seconds? The reason we were able to safely retreat today was because of Pere-nims abilities.

Nobody could hold Venersis off. Vibli and Egane, as well as Trebol who left this world in the war against Runa in the past. It was like Venersis was proving that it really did take three of Pareias Greatest Warriors working together to barely manage to defend against him in the past. Giant gaps were created in the formation wherever Venersis went by.

This would be the same no matter what kind of training the warriors did. The only reason they were able to reduce the damage once they finally realized they will lose and started to retreat was because Pere was able to work together with another Greatest Warrior to hinder Venersis.

Are you sure you are trying to make me feel better? Hahaha.

Pere jokingly responded as he started to laugh.

I will need to change my strategy for the next battle. Similar to the Glow, he is someone we definitely cannot face head-on.

Venersis is the sole reason our Pareia has not been able to take the lead and attack the Shuarei since before I was born. The Greatest Warriors did everything they could to catch up to him, but it was not easy.

Seeing Pere speak with some disappointment, Runa started to speak.

There is something I prepared for a situation like this. If we are unable to land any kind of blow against the Shuarei in this war, we will always need to live under constant worry about their attack.

We were able to get away with only this much damage thanks to Runa-nims lead. What do you plan to do from here on?

There is something I am worried about.

What is it?

Runa started to hesitate before finally answering.

There is a method I have thought about, but it will require me to leave this post for a while. However, the question becomes whether we can fend off Venersiss attack while I am gone. Neither Greatest Warrior Egane or Greatest Warrior Vibli are in Pareia right now

This was the reason Runa was hesitating even though he had a method to counterattack. You needed to have confidence to launch a counterattack, and he was worried about whether there was a warrior who would be able to fend Venersis off if he was gone. Pere and a couple other Greatest Warriors were here, but even that made him a bit worried.

That was why he had said either Greatest Warrior Egane or Greatest Warrior Vibli should remain in Pareia as they headed off to fight the united tribe, but the Glow was also lacking in war experience. Because of that, an experienced warrior had to support him. That was why Vibli had gone as his Assistant Warrior.

As for Greatest Warrior Egane, a seasoned Greatest Warrior was needed to draw as many of the united tribes forces as possible to their decoy land troops. With things being that way, there was no choice.

The biggest reason though, was because of Runas confidence. The counterattack method was just something he prepared just in case it was needed. Runa had never considered the fact that he would not be able to win against Venersis when he had multiple times the number of warriors, especially warriors who had been trained exactly as he had wanted them to be trained.

However, Runa had a large headache knowing that there really was another warrior like Yulian.

Pound. Pound.

While Runa was thinking about all of that, Pere pounded his chest twice before starting to speak.

I will successfully fend him off even if my body breaks in half. I know the other Greatest Warriors may be lacking in comparison to the third generation Greatest Warriors, but they are not lacking too much experience. If it is just defending against Venersis, it should be enough.

Lets continue this discussion after we handle the next defensive battle. We may have lost this battle, but we just have to return the favor in the next battle.

Pere nodded at Runas words.

The official first battle between Pareia and the united tribe was Pareias overwhelming victory.

40,000 against 100,000 warriors.

No matter who thought about it, it should have been a victory for the united tribe who was defending with 100,000 warriors. However, the results were the complete opposite.

Thanks to Egane who was leading 10,000 warriors by land, they needed to defend the land route with 30,000 warriors. They then placed 50,000 warriors toward the quicksand river side, with 20,000 remaining in the center area to reinforce either side as needed. This plan by the united tribe was not a bad plan.

They would have been able to do a bit better if they did not lose 20,000 warriors in the battle on the quicksand river, but it was not a bad idea to quickly forget about that and do the most with what they had left.

However, a lack of war experience and lack of information ended up playing a critical factor.

They needed to know more about Pareia, and should have further researched how the young Glow named Yulian had gained the title of War God of the Eastern Desert.

Continuing on from the first battle, in the ten battles they have had already, including ones where they were attacking and defending at an oasis, the united tribe had not managed to win even one battle.

As a result, the united tribe ended up being pushed back until they merged with the 20,000 warriors in the middle area, and after losing a couple oases, they even called back half of the 30,000 warriors defending against Egane to raise their numbers once more.

Pareia pushed for the united tribes surrender many times, but the united tribe did not accept it.

They too agreed that there was no way to stop Pareias momentum, but they could not understand the current situation.

All of the united tribes warriors were thinking that there must be some way to win.

Yulian was angry with their thought process.

The ones to suffer under a useless Glow were the people of the tribe and the Greatest Warriors. He could not understand how the chiefs of the individual oases could sit back and just let this happen.

Yulian focused on maintaining the stability of the oases that they conquered, while endlessly chasing after the three Glows who were retreating to the East and to the South.

End of chapter.

The person who will not stop

His machine-like attack started to rampage through the oasis.

Nobody nobody seemed to be able to stop him.
