Gacha Sovereign
chapter-262

"Spear Throwing Art, Spin Throwing!"

Leoz jumped toward the spear guy and swung his giant sword.

The spear guy immediately parried it with his spear. Unbeknownst to them, there were two spears flying toward them.

"Ngh!"

Leoz used all of his strength to push this spear guy down so he couldn't do anything.

The sword guy was the closest one to Leoz and the spear guy, so he immediately tried to help him.

He thought that Leoz was suddenly turning to a fool. Leoz was charging recklessly to the spear guy. He thought Leoz only acted out of desperation.

He tried to attack Leoz with his sword, and the thunder guy also moved toward Leoz.

But before they could do anything against Leoz, a spear appeared beside the spear guy's head. The sword guy and the lightning guy were surprised by the sudden appearance of the spear while the spear guy couldn't do anything even though he could see the spear coming.

Leoz did his job to restrict him from moving. With a spear intent and flame, even with the difference of almost a whole realm, a Martial Lord was able to be killed.

The spear penetrated its head and immediately killed the Martial Lord.

"Behind you!" The sword guy shouted. He saw an incoming spear behind the thunder guy.

The thunder guy immediately turned back and blocked the incoming spear. Unfortunately, it wasn't like the spear guy. With almost a whole realm difference, Alex's spear immediately stopped by him.

He wasn't suppressed by Leoz after all. Even with Spear Intent and flame, it didn't have any change.

In the meantime, Leoz parried the attack from the sword guy and kicked him.

They suddenly searched where the spear came from. They found Alex standing on the edge of the forest, looking at them.

Putri, who was observing this fight, also turned her head to Alex. She was shocked by the sudden appearance of Alex. She never expected Alex to come here. She wanted to help Leoz, but she herself was surrounded by many Martial Grandmasters.

She dropped her jaw when she saw Alex's figure. She didn't think about Alex throwing a spear. She considered it normal. If it were Alex, he would have a way.

She didn't know why Alex would help her kingdom. After all, he had a bad memory with the people from the Southern Kingdom.

He must be thinking about their Junior Brother and Senior Sister relationship, she thought. She can't help but move by his gesture.

The thunder guy immediately shouted to one of the Martial Grandmasters, "What the hell with the group inside the forest? How can they miss a pest like that! Hurry up and tell them to move!"

"Ye-yes," A Martial Grandmaster immediately flew toward the forest after that order.

When Putri heard that, she screamed, "Not Good!" in her head. She wanted to warn Alex about it, but she was blocked by three Martial Grandmasters.

Looking at the Martial Grandmaster that will come to the forest, Alex was not bothered as he had prepared for that. He nodded to Leoz.

Leoz fired up once again. He looked at the two Martial Lords. After losing one of their friends, they couldn't hold Leoz back, especially with their body condition.

...

On the other hand, Alex came back inside the forest. He immediately went toward his array as he spotted Anna, and the rest hid around him.

In the meantime, the informer had arrived at the camp in the forest.

"There is an enemy in the forest. Hurry up and search for him!"

The group was bewildered when they saw this. As the group already knew because there was an accident in the forest, they weren't too shocked.

They were too afraid by an existence that could kill two hundred Martial Grandmasters without them knowing. They stayed in a whole group like this because they were waiting for reinforcement.

"We know. What do you expect from us? Two hundred of us have died, and all of them were Martial Grandmasters!"

"What!" The guy from the battlefield obviously didn't know such an incident. But all he knew that when he saw Alex's cultivation. He was only a Martial Grandmaster.

"How can that be? How can he kill two hundred Martial Grandmasters? He is only a Martial Grandmaster!"

"What? Only a Martial Grandmaster, Tch, you should say that from the start." He clicked his tongue. He then shouted to the others, "Make a group of a hundred and spread out. Search for the enemy and kill him.

"If any of you found a mysterious being that could kill two hundred of us, immediately shouted as loud as possible, and all of us will immediately gather there."

The soldiers immediately formed groups, and they left one after another, including the captain. He didn't forget to grab this informant, "You also need to come with us."

...

Alex and co had been ready to intercept them this whole time. Alex saw one group after another. They spread out to search for him.

Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see their movement. He observed their movement and came up with a plan. He was planning to target one group at a time, so he chose one of the farthest groups.

Alex immediately moved between woods. The rest followed him, knowing that he found a target. Not long after, he stopped and said in a low voice, "There is a group of a hundred in front of us. We are going to utilize these two arrays to kill them as soon as possible."

In this area, Alex planted two arrays. One Fire String Array and one Wistful Shackle Array.

"Jeanne will follow me to kill every soldier trapped in Wistful Shackle Array. Fabio and Vera will kill the one who was alive after getting hit by Fire String Array. Anna and Greg will stop everyone that is not hit by these two arrays.

"As soon as we finished the people inside the array, we will support Anna and Greg.

"If needed, I will summon Salijan and Wright to help us. Or even Leoz. Anyway, our objective is to reduce their number as much as possible."

"Understood."

Alex went to his position. He hid his presence behind a tree where he could activate both arrays at once.

He saw through the tree so he could know their position. When they entered the array, Alex immediately channeled his Spiritual Energy to the array.

Two Arrays suddenly glowed from the ground. The soldiers were bewildered when that happened.

"Arrgh!"

"Khhh! What is this, I can't move."

"Enemy!"

His spirits immediately moved out. The first one who made a move was Anna.

"Dark Curtain."

She set up a big Dark Curtain and trapped everyone that didn't get trapped by those two arrays. Greg also made a follow-up.

"Giant Prison, Metal Box."

It was the same move where he locked many people inside a metal box. He made a metal box and trapped those people. With a combination like that, even if the people managed to break the metal box. They would only meet darkness.

Of course, until they managed to figure out Anna's Dark Curtain. Sadly, they would be too late if that happened.

Fabio and Vera started moving toward Alex's Fire String Array. Jeanne also did the same, and she ran toward them swiftly. When they saw Jeanne's figure, they were startled.

"A child?"

"Hell no! I'm not a kid!" Jeanne arrived and said while killing the one who said that.

Alex also went to help Jeanne as he used his Omnislash.

"Argh!"

"Guoh!"

They were butchered before they could do anything. Not long after, the rest of the soldiers managed to break free from Anna and Greg. Sadly, they were too late as Alex and co had finished killing their comrades.

Alex's group didn't let their guard down because they only killed half of them. Fortunately, with their prowess, Alex's group managed to kill all of them easily.

"That way!"

"I heard a fighting sound from that place!"

Many soldiers' shouts echoed through the forest. Alex frowned as he took a look with his Spirit Eyes. He saw around three groups moving toward their place.

Alex immediately pointed out a direction with his finger. He said, "Go that way, we will use the same tactic. I will try to lower their number with Arrays."

"Understood," All of them didn't dare to hesitate.

All of them disappeared. But Alex moved in the opposite direction from his spirits. He wanted to intercept them and lower their number.

"Sherry, Kyle, Try to make firebirds and kill as many as possible."

"Wuu!"

"Chirp!"

From the first look, Alex could see the soldiers were pretty scattered. So, even with explosions, they would need a certain time to gather. By that time, Alex had finished killing the soldiers and moved to another spot.

After that, Alex would reduce their number again in this thick forest and used the same strategy in different spots.

When the soldiers got inside his array, Alex immediately activated his array. If they got trapped by Fire String Array, Alex tried to kill them with his Omnislash. If they got trapped by Wistful Shackle Array, he would send a Seven Stars Cut.

The Seven Stars Cut will cut through the trees along with their heads. Sherry and Kyle will cover him with Firebirds, and Alex would escape from them to another spot.

The soldiers were also put in a difficult situation. If they didn't chase Alex, they would lose him. But if they chased Alex, they would get into his trap. But because Alex was an Array Master, they decided to pursue him.

They needed to kill Array Master as soon as possible if they became their enemy. If an Array Master decided to take revenge, then it was too late to regret.

Alex managed to kill half of them. He lured them to the location of the spirits. When they arrived, Alex activated the two arrays and trapped around fifty soldiers in those arrays.

Anna and Greg immediately confused the rest while Alex. After they killed the trapped soldiers, they immediately killed the rest of the soldiers.

Alex also made a commotion in his way, and they repeated the strategies over and over again. The so-called one thousand two hundred thousand soldiers became a thousand, then eight hundred, five hundred, and continued to reduce to a single group of a hundred.

After killing the last soldier, Alex was exhausted from going around while depleting his energy to attack them.

He leaned to the tree and sighed. "I am tired. I really prefer fighting monsters than them. If I fight monsters, they will try to swarm me, which makes it easier for me to kill. But if I fight with humans, they will try to encircle me, which makes it harder to escape."

His spirits only made a wry smile. Vera managed to get a level up in this situation and became a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster.

Leoz also managed to kill the Martial Lords on the battlefield. After that, the people gained momentum and pushed back the Zhou Soldiers.

Zhou Soldiers that had lost their commanders started going into disarray, and the people managed to kill many of them this day. Although Leoz joined the fight, he was a bit exhausted to help the push.

He was also conserving his strength in case Alex needed him. Surprisingly, a few peak Martial Grandmasters managed to control the situation pretty well.

Today, they lost around fifteen thousand Soldiers. It was five times yesterday's casualty.

It could be said that today was their victory. The soldiers were hoping a few more Martial Lords would arrive before tomorrow's battle.

...

On Alex's side,

After they recovered their energy a bit. Alex started making the arrays again through the night. Anna and Jeanne also started searching for Monster blood.

Jeanne suggested to use the soldiers' blood but because all of them had that red energy inside their body. Alex couldn't use the blood as the array won't activate.

After that experiment, Anna and Jeanne immediately searched for blood. Fabio and Vera were patrolling while Greg was protecting Alex in case something happened when he made the arrays.

Alex was thinking of a strategy for killing Martial Lords. He remembered that Nelson said there would be around five hundred Martial Lords from Zhou Kingdom's side. His group only had two Martial Lords, three including Leoz.

It might be a different case if all of them were Martial Lords. He could think another way if that happened.

The only thing he could come up with was Rank 4 Arrays. But he could only start practicing them when he became 7-Star Martial Grandmaster.

He thought he should stay inside Zwaka's realm for another month. He might be able to breakthrough to 7-Star Martial Grandmaster if that happened. Sadly, the war would be over if he did that.
