When Johnson heard Alex's plan, he was already shocked beyond his wildest dream.

Only a madman of his calibre could create such terrifying plans.

He didn't know Alex entirely but during the month's stay, he could see a glimpse of a complete madman beneath the mask of a gentleman.

As per his understanding, Alex was the type of man who would show a different side to different people.

To his wives, he was loving, gentle and doting while to his underlying he was a figure of respect and a person who sets an example and trains them strictly.

But to his enemies, his behaviour took an entire 360° twist.

The mountains in Terror of Ranvier weren't a suitable escape route or battlefield. The mountains were steep, the forest was dense and surviving conditions were quite hard.

Only a person who had lived and survived here while mastering the arts of guerilla tactics could dominate a battle in this place.

The terrain was already horrible but Alex had added some further twists which had increased the hard mode to hell mode.

This place was unsuitable for a living but when Johnson entered deep inside the place, he was utterly speechless. He would have never imagined witnessing such a scene like this.

The landscape was totally different. There was a perfectly sized camp. There were narrow roads in between the forest.

Many caves had been made inside the mountains and a part of the mountain had been cut to make a way that was blocking the escape route and now one needn't climb over it.

The planning and preparation weren't something that was done in a single day. It had been prepared a long time ago.

Moreover, under Alex's strict request, the training that was going on also took place at the beginning of Terror of Ranvier which means most of the people in the reserve unit were accommodated to it.

Not only that Alex had destroyed the road that took to the Western territory which in the eyes of many is a suicidal move.

Only Johnson along with a few others knew that Alex had already prepared an underground route through which he had already sent soldiers to inform the Kingdoms to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

The insight that Alex showed was enough to make the enemies drenched in fear.

Johnson was already worried as soon as he heard that Noah Ark was in charge of the attack. He was an excellent strategist and was called the Rising Sun of Arkham who could lead Arkham to future glory after the fall.

But seeing Alex, he wondered whether that guy had a chance after all Alex could already create miracles with this small number of troops.

The preparation from the Arkham side might have been started many months ago but Alex within a month had come up with many plans.

If he had a little more support Arkham would be forced to retreat.

Johnson shook his head and stared at the nobles who stood by the campfire with blank expressions. Even their minds were blown after seeing all of this.

"If only the young generation nobles were that much diligent, we wouldn't have faced such a situation, to begin with."

As Johnson spoke with a sigh, he heard screams from far which alerted everyone resting out there.

"It seems the act has already started."

Johnson turned around and shouted, "Soldiers prepare for backup."

"It's time for them to get their own medicine."

....

Unlike a battlefield where hymns of shrieks and cries rang constantly, the atmosphere around them was utterly silent.

The soldiers of Arkham narrowed their eyes.

Their hearts were stifled and were beating violently.

Those who died wanted to open their lips to scream and shout to alert others but all of them were engulfed by the darkness of night.

A soldier of Arkham who was fighting Kinley soldiers was suddenly engulfed by darkness and his body disappeared out of nowhere.

In fact, instead of enemies, it was the soldiers of Kinley who came from the third defence that screamed in fear and broke the dread of silence.

"Ghost!"

Their body shivered as they felt a tingling sensation numbing their scale as they weren't able to understand what kind of entity it was.

"Waaaa...."

Their panic-stricken screams rang aloud but at that time a pair of hands appeared that closed their lips and pulled them back.

The soldiers of Arkham could perceive the changes going on in place and halted their movements and decided to stick in.

The night was dark and the rays of the moon were obstructed by the thick canopy.

It was a humid and moist environment giving a sense of irritation and dilapidation.

The only source of light was the fire torch made of straws and haws.

The person holding the flame torch swung it and shouted"Who is there?"

"Show yourself!"

"Coward! If you are a man then fight like a man."

As they shouted trying to provoke the enemy, a strong gust passed by them and the fire was extinguished immediately.

The man flinched back as he heard gentle soft words from behind.

"Sorry, I am a woman."

That was the last thing he heard before being killed by others.

Kuak!

Kuak!

While Riya was swiftly murdering the enemies without giving them a chance to spot her, the other side had already been struck by overwhelming fear.

The soldiers of Arkham literally couldn't believe the sight before them. An Epic knight was killed by a single blow but this wasn't the end of their shock.

As they saw Alex ran towards all of them by himself.

"An Enemy! Kill him."

Dozens of Arkham soldiers cried out in panic and rushed in to take down the man who had managed to kill them in a single blow.

Alex, who appeared on the battlefield, struck their head and smashed them into pieces.

His gaze carried an air of indifference as if the massive number was nothing to him.

Slash!

Kayak!

Puaakk!

The soldiers who stepped closer to Alex felt an aura of oppression. Alex's fierce eyes stared at them, making their souls tremble in fright.

They felt as if nothing could be hidden from his eyes, and as soon as one's eyes met with him their mind seemed to collapse as they found themselves drowning in an ocean of fear and misery.

The soldiers who rushed towards him died as quickly as they came and left the world screaming.

Those who were lucky enough to witness the scene weren't able to comprehend anything and their mind became blank as they saw those who rushed were cut with a single slash.

There was no sign of aura or fluctuation of mana. It looked as if they were just battling a normal human yet this normal human was slaughtering them like cows and pigs.

Alex glanced back and signalled all the troops from the third defence line to head back.

Alex planned to kill Arkham soldiers after letting them scream so that he could attract the attention of everyone towards him while Riya and his men killed the people silently.

Alex looked at the loud steps coming towards him and raised his left hand which was covered with darkness.

A smile appeared on his face as he wanted to try out his partial concealment skills along with the element of darkness which he gained after fighting with that being almost two years ago.
