Gacha Sovereign
chapter-263

Alex worked through the night. He made more array than before. Because there were battle marks everywhere. He thought he should make more arrays to trap the enemy because the previous number of the array was not enough anymore.

When the next day arrived, Alex stationed Ngina in the forest to check if there would be reinforcement there.

He looked at the battlefield. After losing three Martial Lords, the army didn't collapse because the peak Martial Grandmaster kept them from breaking apart. However, Alex could see their morale had taken a big blow.

Because of that, Alex decided to join the battle on the battlefield. He felt he could kill a portion of Zhou Soldiers today, and it would affect the battlefield.

...

Leoz didn't spend his all yesterday because he was worried about Alex. He prepared himself so he would be ready for a battle anytime. But Alex didn't call him, he didn't know the enemy number in the forest, so he wasn't sure if Alex had managed to kill them or not.

For today, he would do a safe fight while preserving his strength.

...

On Zhou Kingdom's side, a few peak grandmasters were discussing the tactic for today.

"What are we going to do today?" One of them opened the meeting.

"Tch, that yellow haired b*stard kill three of our Martial Lords. The soldiers have been demoralized. Although we have been keeping them from breaking down, many soldiers might be killed in today's battle." Another Martial Grandmaster gave his input while fixing his glasses.

"That's right. What about our reserve? They are really slow. To think they only spared three Martial Lords to lead the army," A brown-haired man said.

"They are the main army while we are the reserve. We are here to exhaust Southern Kingdom's soldiers. Southern Kingdom must know about this too. That's why they didn't send any Martial Lords out at the moment.

"But, our biggest miscalculation was a Mercenary could kill three Martial Lords yesterday. Tch."

"They have sent reinforcement and will arrive tomorrow. There are ten Martial Lords, five hundred Grandmasters, and two thousand Masters. So, all we can do today is to minimize our loss.

"The rest will arrive three days later. They should have more than four hundred Martial Lords, twenty thousand Grandmasters, and ten thousand Masters.

"Don't worry, as long as we can endure this period. We will be able to take over the Southern Kingdom. Thanks to the grace of the Royal Family, we can get stronger in a short time.

"Just look at our number. Even though we are moving only seventy percent of our total force, we have five hundred Martial Lords. Just look at the Southern Kingdom. They only have three hundred Martial Lords in total.

"Our Zhou Kingdom will rule the entire continent. We need to conquer the Southern Kingdom first so we can acquire their wealth, especially their canons. After that, destroying the Hazel Kingdom or the Thiveapia Kingdom should be easy.

"After destroying all kingdoms, we will destroy the four sects. Then all people will bow down to us." The glasses man said. He seemed to be the leader from the rest of the Grandmasters here.

They knew about it, but hearing it once again here. They became a bit more motivated. They could only grit their teeth and minimize the damage at the moment.

"That's right. We are going to win this battle!"

"Uoh!!"

"Alright. Prepare the troops and march to the battlefield. Just be careful of the yellow haired Martial Lord that killed three Martial Lords from our side. Move out."

The leaders started preparing the troops to fight. Unfortunately, increasing the army's morale was easier said than done. They could only try their best for that.

Not long after, the troops marched toward the battlefield. Every leader looked at Leoz's figure on the battlefield. Southern Army's morale, as well as the mercenary camp, were high after Leoz slew three Martial Lords.

Even the Southern Kingdom started thinking about recruiting Leoz to their side.

The sound of battles was echoing again on the battlefield.

As expected, the battle was on Southern Kingdom's side. Zhou's Armies fought well, but they started losing their advantage because of the difference of morales.

The glasses ordered many people to stand their ground today and tried to minimize their losses. He was accompanied by three adjutants to relay his message.

"Send a thousand soldiers to that place."

"Reinforce our left side."

He kept giving one order after another. He became a bit stressed after a few hours giving one order after another.

"Reinf-!" Before he passed his order to his adjutants, he was shocked beyond belief.

"Gah!" There was a spear pierced through one of his adjutants' heads. When the adjutant fell down, he could see a familiar figure from the forest.

"That is the guy from yesterday. If not because of him, we wouldn't be in this state. What the heck with the troops in the forest? Can't they kill him? Argh. Send a hundred Grandmasters and kill him. Make sure he dies!" The glasses guy was frustrated when he saw Alex's face.

A hundred Grandmasters then flew toward the forest just to kill Alex.

When Leoz saw him, he was finally sure that Alex had killed every soldier in that forest. Although he didn't know their number, at least, he was sure that Alex wouldn't come out until he wiped them out.

Sadly, because of the pressure from the situation, the glasses guy thought that the soldiers in the forest were useless, instead of the possibility of Alex massacring the entire troops. Another factor that made him think so was because it was absurd. There was no way Alex could kill more than a thousand alone.

He just sent a hundred Grandmasters to kill Alex, but he thought that number alone was already overkill.

When Putri saw Alex's figure, she was relieved. She didn't know what happened, but at least, seeing Alex was fine, it was enough. Then, she started frowning when she saw a hundred Grandmasters flying toward Alex.

Although she had seen Alex's ability when fighting the monsters back in Death Forest. It was only monsters, as she herself knew that fighting humans were harder than fighting monsters.

And she only saw Alex alone in that direction. But soon, there were another five figures that appeared from the forest.

A black haired girl with a unique aura. A blue haired girl with gentle eyes. A petite girl with yellow hair. A full armored guy and the last one was a red haired man. The girls put a veil to cover their faces, and in fact, the red haired man was the only one who didn't put anything to cover himself. Of course, besides Alex.

Putri only knew two of them, the red haired man and black hair girl, which were Fabio and Anna.

Alex took out two spears and threw them at the incoming soldiers. When Putri saw that, she didn't find it strange. She thought it was easy to throw spears. Even for a sword user, it would be pretty easy, so she didn't suspect Alex being a spear user.

...

Back to Alex,

After observing the situation of the battlefield for a while, Alex decided to join the battle. Zhou Soldiers' were pushed back by Southern Kingdom's soldiers.

He wanted to kill some people that looked like an important guy to decrease their morale even further. The one he noticed the most was the glasses guy. Unfortunately, his adjutants were in the way. Alex had no choice to kill the adjutants first.

After seeing a hundred soldiers detached, he stopped for a while to deal with the incoming enemies first. After all, there were a hundred grandmasters coming toward him.

Alex took out two spears and said, "Come out. We are fighting here."

The spirits heard him and showed themself.

"They are our first target. I want to see if we can hit one thousand soldiers for today. Anna and Fabio will be the vanguard. Vera will support them. As for Jeanne... you can kill some, but help me recover my spear on the battlefield. Greg will stay with me here for the time being. Sherry and Kyle will also help Vera in supporting them."

"Understood." All the spirits immediately went to his position. Jeanne was a bit reluctant, though. Sherry and Kyle also appeared.

As soon as Alex threw his spear toward the incoming soldiers, his spirits immediately went to intercept them. This time, he didn't use his array, so his fighting ability was restricted a bit. Even so, killing with his Spear Throwing was enough.

Anna and Fabio immediately showed their prowess as Martial Lords. They killed the ones in front.

"What?"

"Those two are Martial Lords?"

"We... We can't fight them."

"Where the hell those two monsters come from? And... one of them is a phoenix, right?"

"Don't be afraid. There are only eight of them. We can encircle them and fight safely to wear them out. Even Martial Lords will be exhausted if they used too much energy. After that, we can capture that phoenix."

"GO!"

They tried to surround Anna and Fabio with their number. Sadly, Anna and Fabio dodged their encirclement skillfully with the help of Vera.

Anna and Fabio killed the soldiers one by one, and every time the soldiers managed to surround them. Vera immediately prevented them and let both of them escape.

"Shit!"

"That woman prevented us."

"Kill that blue hair woman first."

The soldiers split their number to half to kill Vera. Sherry and Kyle immediately released their fire. They shot them with their firebirds.

Unfortunately, the humans started flying around to dodge the firebirds. Sherry and Kyle couldn't kill them easily, even with many firebirds.

Alex tried to aim them one by one as his spear was faster than Sherry's and Kyle's firebirds.

"That guy on the back! Kill him. He must be the leader of this group! As long as we kill him, we can win!"

They became frustrated after this series of attacks. They couldn't kill any of them. Although Alex's group hadn't killed many of them, with Anna's and Fabio's speed. It was only a matter of time.

They tried to attack Alex with their range attack, whether it was their element or Martial Arts. They used it to attack Alex.

Looking at the incoming attack, Greg walked to his front leisurely. At least, the number of attacks was not that much compared to before. His armor started turning green as he raised his shields

"Gargantua Walls!"

Ten green translucent barriers appeared in front of him. It blocked all the attacks completely. In fact, they only managed to break five barriers.

Sherry and Kyle immediately released their flame entirely after seeing Alex get attacked. Another reason was that they got frustrated because they couldn't hit them.

Sherry thought it was really different when she killed the Martial Grandmasters from Bell Family back then. Although their cultivations were the same while she also had leveled up from back then.

She was wondering why these guys were harder to kill. Because of that, she released her flame's might to suppress them so she could kill them easily.

"What is this?"

"My fire goes rampage in my body."

"Argh, I can't control my fire."

"Ghhh!"

Almost twenty soldiers suddenly clenched their hearts as they felt they couldn't control their fire. They fell down from the sky.

"That must be the phoenix!"

"No, the fox too!"

"Ugh, all of them are annoying. Kill just kill that phoenix first. We can't kill their leader without th-!"

Before he finished his words, Jeanne had killed him. Jeanne's figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield. After killing the leader like guy. She descended to the ground while looking at the soldiers who got suppressed.

"Hi, you maggots want to kill our master? Then I should send all of you to the afterlife," Jeanne said with a smile. Regrettably, the soldiers could only hear it as a death sentence.

"Ahh!"

"Gah!"

After Jeanne said her pieces, she disappeared, and many screams echoed.
