On the plains, under the reflection of the morning sun, the liquid ball emitted a different light than before. A large amount of curse power condensed into a high pressure that could destroy everything, and then it was released at a single point.
Duke Berkeley had made his name in the Empire by sniping and killing the enemy's general before engaging in battle. Countless powerful Extraordinaries had fallen in this almost unavoidable attack. And today, his target was the silver-haired girl in the army at the front.
At least so far, there were no underage girls who had died under this attack, and there shouldn't be. However, in war, everyone was often unable to make a choice. In the face of various modifiers, everyone was just a life.
With this thought in mind, the Duke waved his hand lightly, and with a sharp sound, the floating water ball released a fatal attack. When the water spear fell into the crowd, no one noticed it. It wasn't until the remaining power of the water spear hit the ground that the advancing Akat army noticed it.
A sudden explosion erupted in the enemy's army. Instead of observing the situation on the other side, Burke raised his hand and prepared to give the order to charge. Ai Lisi Akat. The information didn't describe this underage girl in detail, but it was obvious that a child of this age couldn't be a master, let alone a beast tamer.
However, what he didn't expect was that in the smoke, the silver-haired girl didn't die. Bright red blood flowed on Ai Lisi's arm, but the injury wasn't caused by the water spear that seemed to be able to pierce through everything, but by the girl's own dagger. m.
The enemy was the famous general of the Austin Empire, Berkeley, a high-ranked Extraordinary who was famous for his long-range attacks that could turn the tide of a battle. As the person in charge of the intelligence department, Ai Lisi had already read this information more than ten times. The intelligent girl already knew what the enemy would do when the situation was unfavorable, and as the commander, Ai Lisi had already found a way to deal with it.
[Oath of Devotion], this was a forbidden spell that used a person's life as the price to attract long-range curses within a certain range. Usually, only the death warriors of the big families and a small number of cursemancers in the army would use it.
In the end, using one's life as the price referred to life energy. A person's life energy was limited, and most people had about the same amount of life energy. That was why after using a forbidden technique, no matter if it was a high-level Extraordinary individual or a normal soldier, only death awaited them. However, as someone who possessed a miraculous bloodline, Ai Lisi had an almost unlimited amount of life energy.
When the dust dispersed, the silver-haired girl revealed herself again, accompanied by Berkley's disbelief. Ever since the fatal attack was launched, countless powerful enemies had been killed by it when they were caught off guard. The duke could not imagine how Ai Lisi had dodged the attack, but it made him think highly of the girl again.
The middle-aged man with widened eyes sighed. Although he already knew that the Akat family was a Transcendent family that frequently produced geniuses, he didn't expect that an adopted girl could reach such a level.
Berkley's intuition told him that he had to get rid of the girl who was the commander. As his fighting spirit began to burn, the water ball emitting a pale radiance rose into the air once again. On the other side, white birds began to appear one after another. At the same time, a large scale anti-curse wave rose into the air.
In the sky, all kinds of curses formed dazzling fireworks, harvesting each other's lives. The water spears and the white birds chased after each other. After an entire night of waiting, the two most powerful noble armies of the two countries finally clashed. For the sake of each other's honor and the future of their countries, they began to kill each other.
Ai Lisi's strategy was to fight a war of attrition, so she did not linger in the battle. However, things didn't go so smoothly. As if they had seen through the Akat army's strategy, the knights of the Caesar family were still entangled in the battle even after an entire night of fighting. On the other side, Duke Berkley who discovered that he could not kill the girl no matter how hard he tried started to make a move.
"Wait, this is!"
At first, because of the fresh blood, the soldiers didn't pay attention to the wet ground under their feet. However, as time passed, the ground in the entire area began to turn into mud. The horses of the knights were unable to run, and the two sides of the battle became difficult to separate.
After using this curse, even a Duke with a level 2 Source rank would not have much of his curse power left. This action was undoubtedly dangerous. It was equivalent to giving up the advantage of personal strength and trusting the soldiers under his command. However, it was also this action that completely raised the morale of the Caesar army to the peak.
Since ancient times, soldiers would die for those who knew them well. Soldiers would also be moved by a general who trusted them. The impassioned horn sounded once again. The Duke who personally went to the frontlines was like a sharp knife, nailing the Akat army who wanted to break away.
Duke Berkley of the Caesar family lived up to his reputation as a famous general of the Austin Empire. He gave up on using his curse power to lead his soldiers. This seemingly reckless action was actually a strategy he had carefully considered. He had determined that he was the strongest person on the battlefield before deciding on this strategy. At the same time, he was also bait.
In a short period of time, he made a series of decisive and correct decisions. He displayed his curse power, superiority in strength, morale, and military strength to the extreme. This could be said to be the true style of a famous general. Ai Lisi, who noticed the difference in strength, could only do her best to deal with it.
The two armies whose morale had reached the peak clashed once again. A fierce battle broke out between them. However, no one noticed that in the sky, a mechanical eagle with shining silver wings was rapidly approaching. Its gem-like eyes were looking down at the chaotic battlefield.
The frontlines could no longer hold on.
After Duke Caesar personally went to the frontlines to entangle the Akat army, the intensity of the battle far exceeded expectations. The duration of the battle had also exceeded expectations. As the battle continued to drag on, Akat Territory's disadvantage gradually became apparent.
Unlike Ai Lisi who had always focused on theoretical studies, Duke Berkley was a true general who had been through hundreds of battles. His grasp of the battlefield was not something a novice could compare to. It would be very difficult to fight against him without similar or even greater experience. And now, Ai Lisi had fewer and fewer choices.
Just what should she do?
The soldiers at the frontlines were still fighting, but the soldiers at the rear suddenly stopped. Duke Berkley frowned and looked into the distance with his sword in hand. However, he wasn't looking in the direction of Ai Lisi. Instead, he was looking at a mountain ridge on the other side.
The moment Ai Lisi's attention was attracted, a familiar spell fluctuation suddenly tugged at Ai Lisi's heartstrings. On the mountain ridge in the distance, a man and a horse were approaching.
Looking at the white-hot battlefield and Ai Lisi who was covered in blood, Luo Ya's expression instantly became extremely gloomy. Overflowing anger burned his heart, but the young man didn't rush out in anger. Instead, he looked ahead and observed carefully. He knew that impulsiveness on the battlefield wouldn't solve any problems, especially when he was the only one who had reinforcements.
Luo Ya, who discovered that the enemy had a level 2 Source Rank, immediately understood that the next day might be unfavorable, so he decided to set off first. As the battle between the two armies officially broke out during the day, Luo Ya's speed kept increasing. Now, he had left Cynthia and the others behind by nearly a day.
With this thought in mind, Ai Lisi deliberately leaked a huge amount of spell and murderous aura. The power fluctuation that suddenly appeared behind him naturally attracted the attention of Caesar's army. Looking at Luo Ya from afar, the soldiers laughed at Ai Lisi's foolishness. However, they didn't know that this was the prerequisite that Luo Ya created to activate his skill.
That was where the enemy's main force was located.
The high-grade Extraordinary's sense of crisis once again rang. Berkley looked at the rapidly approaching young man, his body emitted a brilliant light. A sparkling water ball rose into the sky and began to expand and contract under the pressure. At the same time, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but shout a warning.
Whoosh —!
After surviving life and death on the plains of the Eastern Region, Luo Ya's power had taken a qualitative leap. Unlike the Queen of Witches in the past, the burning spell on Luo Ya's body had turned into layers of barriers according to his will. The flashing water spear kept breaking through the barriers and gradually deviated. Finally, it brushed past the young man.
A violent roar sounded behind the young man. The spell on Luo Ya's body began to transform into a large amount of red light. In the steaming mist, white bones appeared one after another. The huge skeleton, like a demon god descending to the world, enveloped the young man.
Under this huge power, Berkley's body stiffened in an instant. At this critical moment, the battle-hardened middle-aged man released the last bit of spell in his body. The expanding water ball rapidly expanded and finally turned into a liquid wall in front of the young man. In front of the wall, the tall giant had also raised his fist.
A fierce battle broke out between the two battle-hardened warriors. The vaporized liquid turned into an exploding mist, causing the soldiers to shout. The exploding lightning illuminated the faces of the warriors on both sides on the ground, causing a loud rumbling sound to be heard from the horizon.
"Has it begun?"
After speaking calmly as if he was watching fireworks, the old man stepped forward again.
