Chapter 408: Battlefield
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As Charles further descended towards the surface, he saw tens of thousands of ant-like beings moving here and there on the plain land and seemed to be fighting with each other.
Although few trees appeared here and there, there wasn't much in the surrounding areas. Instead, Charles only saw some agricultural lands and farmhouses a little away from this battlefield.
Out of curiosity, he manipulated the Rebirth Flame and soon descended towards that battlefield. For him, this was an excellent place to find a new identity.
After a few minutes of flying, his soul form soon descended in the middle of the battlefield and observed this planet's inhabitants.
'Humans, huh.'
He saw them killing each other using different kinds of medieval weapons like spears, swords, and bow and arrows and chuckled.
.
After observing them for a while, he vaguely guessed that this was a battle between two kingdoms. One group belongs to a kingdom called 'Aetas' while the other belongs to the 'Ammar' Dynasty.
Aetas people wore full red armor, and they even painted their flag in red with a peacock-like bird symbol at the center. On the other hand, the people of the Ammar Dynasty wore iron armor and strange silver helmets.
Even when the opposite party attacked them in their heads, some aura appeared around the helmet and completely nullified the opponents' attacks.
But what shocked Charles most was the soldiers' abnormal strength.
Most of the soldiers had the strength of expert-level physique while the remaining few had the strength of extraordinary level physique!
Not only that, but the soldiers also coated their weapons with some aura-like energy when battling!
'It's more like sword aura! But these soldiers are using this aura power in all kinds of weapons.' He even saw the bowmen using aura-coated arrows to attack the enemy soldiers from both sides.
Charles also saw a hundred elite soldiers mounted on the horses and observed the battle from both sides. It was as if they were waiting for the foot soldiers to kill each other.
'Hmm? They are protecting their commander, huh.' He hovered in the air for a while and soon sensed multiple gazes from everywhere.
All of them were dead souls!
But the big difference was that they appeared in foggy form while he looked more like a real human.
"Don't worry. I'm here to observe the battle. You guys can continue your fight." He waved his hand and shifted his attention towards the battlefield.
Unfortunately, they couldn't even understand what he was saying and looked at each other in confusion. After some seconds, some tried to go back to their dead bodies, while the remaining started battling with the other souls.
Alas, the chaos continued both in Physical World and the Astral Plane.
'Currently, I only have enough fire-elemental energy to cast all the Rank-4 fire spells two times.' It was the final gift from Midea. Unlike him, Midea didn't rely on Fire-Elemental Plane to cast spells and was capable of casting low-level spells continuously. That's how she refilled his spell models.
Even though she was just a Will of the Fire Bird, she had enough power to battle an average Rank-4 Mage.
'But I can't act recklessly and waste my opportunity. Although this world has an average amount of fire-elemental energy like Edhen World, they aren't enough to fill up the spell models. It might take even a week for me to save up enough fire-elemental energy to cast a Rank 4 spell.' Charles sighed deeply and then shifted his attention towards the elite guards.
Currently, most of the foot soldiers were fallen, and the remaining ones were in a seriously wounded state.
At that moment, Charles noticed that the commander of Aetas Kingdom raised his hand suddenly and spoke a few encouraging words.
'No, this guy is no commander. He is just a kid!' Charles raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Yes, the commander of Aetas Kingdom was a 14-years-old kid. He had wavy blonde hair, azure eyes, a heart-shaped face, and appeared to be around 155 cm high. He mounted on a small horse and held a long sword in his right hand while a small red shield in his left hand.
Within a few seconds, he ended his speech, whipped the horse, and moved forward at a fast speed.
On the other hand, the elite knights roared in unison and also moved while encircling the young kid in all directions. With a single look, anyone could tell that all these elite knights were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect this young kid.
Alas, many cavalry knights entered the battlefield and intercepted his elite knights one by one.
At that moment, the commander of the Ammar Dynasty also raised his hand and charged forward from the other side. But unlike this young commander, the other party entered the battlefield without relying on his elite knights' protection and slew the enemy soldiers with his sharp spear.
Wherever he moved, tens of enemy foot soldiers' heads flew up in the sky and sprayed blood everywhere.
Ammar Dynasty's commander was a bald man with multiple scars on his face. He appeared to be around 50 to 55 years old, had a square face, black eyes, a muscular body, and seemed to be around190 cm high.
He currently looked more like a demon descended from the abyss to cause a massacre. What's more shocking was that he even killed his foot soldiers!
'He is killing the severely wounded soldiers in the name of honor and mercy, huh.' This scene amused Charles.
He continued to kill the foot soldiers for a whole minute and finally shifted his attention towards the young commander and his elite knights.
"Arrow!" He roared as he held his spear in the right hand and rode the black horse towards the young commander.
In the meantime, the elite cavalrymen of the Ammar Dynasty moved towards their commander and made an arrow-shaped formation.
Soon, both of the elite soldiers collided against each other and started the main battle. But unlike before, their clashes appeared much more destructive. Whenever two weapons clashed against each other, shockwaves and ripples appeared in the surroundings. Even the young kid showed impressive swordsmanship and killed three elite soldiers.
After that, he faced Ammar Dynasty's commander and battled against him for two continuous minutes.
Unfortunately, his opponent was too skilled and brutal when it came to the battle. The bald commander found an opening within the next few seconds and thrust his spear into the horse's neck before throwing the young commander on the ground.
Then, he jumped down from his horse and started walking towards the young kid.
Before long, he appeared in front of the young commander and swiftly thrust his spear into his chest.
He didn't show any hesitation and killed the young commander on the spot!
On the other hand, his elite knights also displayed their full strength and killed the young commander's elite knights one by one.
Before long, a strange silence appeared on the battlefield.
The only ones who remained on the battlefield were the bald commander and his seventy elite knights.
"Clean up the battlefield. After that, we are going to this brat's territory and loot everything." He said in an icy tone.
Meanwhile, one of his knights arrived closer to the bald commander and asked.
"Won't the kingdom report our action to the council of Light Church?"
"Nah. This kingdom is facing a civil war now. The king of Aetas is no more, and the crown prince is just goofing around. Meanwhile, the late King Beau's second son already sided with Duke Michel and is gathering army men on his own. The same goes for the other three of his legitimate sons. Killing this rural baron won't attract the attention of the Royals. Even if they found out about our action, they wouldn't dare to report it to the council. After all, they are in no position to start a war with our Dynasty." The bald commander said coldly and moved away from the battlefield.
