Aiken was a Ten Man Commander of the Rosen Empire. He used to command the Rosen Empire's most elite heavy infantry. Although he was only a Ten Man Commander, his status in the empire wasn't low. He was comparable to a Commander of a local legion.
In Rosen Empire, the Legion Commander of a local legion generally commanded between a hundred thousand to a hundred and fifty thousand troops. And as a Ten Thousand Man Commander, his status was almost equal to the Legion Commander of a local legion.
Aiken was only 45 years old. In the past, he was an 8th rank expert. But recently, he became a 9th rank expert. All of this was thanks to Zhao Hai.
Aiken really admired Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was able to turn the Buda Clan into one of the most prestigious clans in the continent in a short period of time. This in itself was amazing. Later on, he even married several beautiful women, this made people envious.
But the most admirable thing about Zhao Hai was his fighting strength. Zhao Hai's fighting strength was too strong. Not only did he exterminate the Dragons, he was also able to block the attack of the Demons and the Divine Race.
Aiken was the first batch of people to be transferred to Upper Bank City. Therefore, he was very clear about the strength of the Divine Race. Zhao Hai was able to repel the Divine Race, this in itself made Aiken admire Zhao Hai. Additionally, Aiken also became a 9th rank expert. This made Aiken extremely grateful to Zhao Hai.
This time, Aiken was very clear about Zhao Hai's tactics. Zhao Hai gave them horse-shaped magic beasts. Moreover, they also took off their heavy armor and wore light leather armor. Their weapons were also no longer heavy spears and shields. Instead, they were equipped with javelins. These javelins were very simple, they looked like sharpened wooden sticks.
However, Aiken didn't underestimate the might of this javelin. This was because he knew that although the javelin looked simple on the surface, it actually had a blood lightning bead hidden within.
However, Aiken wasn't in the mood to think about these right now. From time to time, he would touch the small cloth pouch on his waist. The people around him were looking at the pouch with envy, as if it was a rare treasure.
It must be said that this pouch was indeed a treasure. This pouch was a Space Pouch, but it was one of the smallest ones. It only had about 10 cubic meters of space, so it couldn't hold a lot of things. But now, this pouch was actually filled with something good. To be exact, it was a messenger fish inside a bottle.
At this time, Zhao Hai had a lot of messenger fishes inside the Space. Zhao Hai took out all of these messenger fishes and gave them to each squad leader. For example, Madam Wan, Aiken, was the only one with a messenger fish in his squad that was prepared to harass the Divine Race. Of the entire squad, only Aiken had a messenger fish.
Although Aiken and the others were now 9th ranks, their flying speed wasn't very fast. However, the magic beasts that Zhao Hai gave them were very good. These magic beasts weren't from the Ark Continent, they were from the Beastmen. They were magic beasts that Zhao Hai already had in his store, the Ferghana Horse.
Ferghana Horses were a breed of horses from Earth. They were the most expensive breed of horses on Earth. Not only were they fast, they also had great endurance.
However, these ferghana horses were completely different from the ones back on Earth. These ferghana horses were now 9th rank magic beasts, so they could fly in the sky. Moreover, they had inherited the two advantages that they had back on Earth, speed and endurance. They were the most suitable mounts, especially for Rangers.
The place that they stopped at wasn't far from the border of the Radiant Empire. However, they couldn't see the Divine Race army from here. If they could see the Divine Race army, then they would be able to see the Divine Race army as well. When the time comes, they wouldn't be able to launch a surprise attack.
However, they still sent people to monitor the Divine Race army. This didn't cause the Divine Race army to be dissatisfied. The Divine Race army already knew that Zhao Hai would send people to monitor them. If they didn't do it, then it would cause the Divine Race to be suspicious.
Aiken stood there with an excited expression. He knew that they were the first army to face the Divine Race. For them, this was a great honor. It also represented Zhao Hai's trust in them.
Aiken was also a valiant general, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the position of Ten Thousand Man Heavy Infantry. His family didn't have a deep background, they were just an ordinary middle-class noble family in Rosen Empire.
Aiken relied on his military merits to become a Ten Thousand Man Commander. Because of this, he wasn't afraid of war. On the contrary, he liked to fight. Only when he fought would he be able to gain military merits.
Aiken couldn't help but touch the spatial bag on his waist as he muttered, "It should be soon, right?"
When the guard beside him heard Aiken, he calmly replied, "Sir, it should be soon. Mister should be sending you a letter soon."
Just as Zhao Hai said that, Aiken's eyes lit up. Then he patted his spatial bag as a small glass bottle appeared in his hand. As soon as the bottle was taken out, Zhao Hai's voice was heard, "Aiken, immediately head towards the left. If you see the Divine Race's troops, attack them and then immediately retreat." Aiken nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai.
Aiken nodded, "Yes, Mister. We'll leave immediately."
Zhao Hai's voice was heard again, "Alright, be careful. Don't get too close. I don't care how many people you kill, I want you to live." Aiken nodded, then he placed the messenger fish back into the spatial bag.
After placing the messenger fish, Aiken turned his head to his subordinates and loudly said, "Brothers, Mister has ordered us to attack. Raise our flags, we have 12 javelins in each of our hands. Javelins are our specialty. When we rush forward and see the Divine Race army, we must throw all of our javelins in the shortest time possible. After throwing them out, immediately retreat. Don't hesitate, don't forget Mister's words."
Zhao Hai's prestige was absolutely supreme among the frontline soldiers. As long as it was Zhao Hai, they certainly wouldn't react. Zhao Hai's words were like thunder to them, but he didn't say anything.
A person beside Aiken waved his hand as he raised a flag. This flag had a bull embroidered on it, it was Aiken's flag.
Seeing the flag being raised, Aiken immediately said, "Let's go." After he said that, he patted his mount and galloped forward. Although they were heavy infantry, they were still able to ride horses. In the Ark Continent, there were a lot of magic beasts. Generally, families would raise low level magic beasts for transporting goods or for farming. Since Aiken was a noble, it was impossible for him to not know how to ride a horse. Riding a horse was a compulsory course for nobles.
The others were the same. Some of them were cavalry before they became heavy infantry. Because heavy infantry was the Rosen Empire's most elite army, they received the best treatment. Because of this, many outstanding soldiers would find ways to join the heavy infantry.
It was for this reason that Zhao Hai was relieved to give them mounts. This was because these people didn't need to be trained to become qualified cavalry.
Aiken's speed was very fast. The four hooves of the ferghana horses were flying as if they were running on clouds. However, their speed was beyond imagination. Before long, they could see the Divine Race army.
The army of the Divine Race was composed of 20 million people. It could be said that they were overwhelming. People said that more than ten thousand soldiers were boundless. What kind of concept was this army of 20 million? It could only be said that it was too terrifying. Those who were timid would be scared to death just by looking at the number of soldiers.
Aiken wasn't afraid. In the past, Zhao Hai had used more than 10 million undead and the Divine Race army. They had already seen how many people Zhao Hai had.
When the Divine Race army discovered them, they immediately sent a squad of 10 thousand people to meet them. When Aiken saw the Divine Race squad, his eyes flashed as he shouted, "Get ready!" After saying that, he took out two javelins from the two leather pouches on the front of his saddle. The others did the same as him.
They didn't stop as they rushed towards the ten thousand Divine Race soldiers. The ten thousand Divine Race soldiers were all infantrymen. One could see at a glance that they were made up of Divine Race soldiers, their strength wasn't weak.
When these people met Aiken's group, they slowly adjusted their formation. Their formation was very fast. When they were about a kilometer away from Aiken's group, they simultaneously used their Domains.
Although these people were ordinary God-ranks, they were still very formidable. It can be said that there were no Demigods among the Divine Race. As long as a God-rank expert becomes a God-rank expert, they would be able to become a true God-rank expert in a short period of time. Demigods would either comprehend their Domain or die in battle.
Aiken already knew what these things were, but he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to fly forward. At this time, the Divine Race's Domain was revealed, it was a spear-shaped Domain. Aiken said, "Be careful of their long-range attacks." Although he said this, he didn't stop as he continued to rush towards the other party. Aiken nodded and said, "Be careful of their long-range attacks." Although he said this, he didn't stop as he rushed towards the other party.
The distance was getting closer and closer. When they were about 200 meters away, the Divine Race squad suddenly released 10 thousand spear-shaped energy beams towards Aiken's group.
Aiken felt that these energy beams weren't ordinary, so he immediately shouted, "First spear, fire!"
Then he threw the javelin in his hand as he shouted, "Second spear, fire!"
The two javelins were like black clouds as they flew towards the 10 thousand Divine Race squad.
