Gacha Sovereign

259 A Clash

Alex and the others went around the ominous place. It turned out that the place was huge. Alex used his Spirit Eyes to scout inside from afar. He was shocked that he could see numerous Martial Lord inside.

All of them had black energy. If he tried to go inside, he didn't know how many he would need to fight. What made him confused the most was that all Martial Lord inside that place had a human shape. He thought if that place was an evil cult.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much information about that place. He didn't know whether it was an evil cult or not. After all, the only evil cult he knew was the cult that had been exterminated by him and Putri.

All of them had the same characteristic, which was blood red energy inside their body. But this time, he didn't find anything like that. It was truly a black energy alone.

He continued moving around without alarming them.

They continued flying at low altitude for a day. Alex decided to rest first. "Leoz, where are you?"

"Young Master, I have joined a mercenary camp in the Southern Kingdom."

"Mercenary camp?"

"Yes, two days ago, Southern Kingdom made a decree to recruit loose cultivators as a special squad called Mercenary Camp. They put a bounty on the enemy soldier heads.

They will give five Spirit Stones every normal soldier head, twenty Spirit Stones every captain head, five hundred Spirit Stones for commander head, and ten thousand Spirit Stones for a general head."

"Bounty? How about their number?"

"Zhou Soldiers numbered fifty thousand, while Southern Armies were eighty thousand."

"What? As expected of a kingdom that is known for its wealth. How about their power level?"

"I don't know, and today is the second day of clash. There are only two thousand deaths from each kingdom. But, from my observation, the normal soldiers are peak Martial Master or below.

"To hold such a big army, I am afraid they need at least five thousand captains. Their captains are at least Martial Grandmaster. And with that, they have around a thousand commander class soldiers with a power level above 6-Star Martial Grandmaster.

"Then, after that, there is a General Class officer. They are in the Martial Lord stage. From my observation, I only found three, but I'm sure there are more so, please be careful. Fighting humans is harder than fighting monsters, especially in a war like this. So please be careful, Young Master."

"Understood. What about Senior Sister?"

"She is currently fine. She is also one of the commanders in the army. There are many Martial Lords that have yet to move in the capital city. Maybe they are anticipating the enemy reinforcement.

"After all, if they want to win this war, a few Martial Lords wouldn't be enough. So, I thought there might be a reinforcement of elites that will come later. The ones who are fighting us here are bait to wear our energy."

"I see. Just make sure she is fine. I am on my way toward the battlefield."

"Understood. Oh, that's right, from my observation, the soldiers from the Zhou Kingdom are stronger than the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom. So having me in the mercenary camp makes the Southern Kingdom happy."

Alex frowned when he heard that. He thought about the Blood Pills. Alex shook his head as he decided to see it first before arriving at a conclusion.

"Alright. I will try to arrive as soo-"

"Who are you three!"

Just before he finished talking to Leoz, there was a huge number of people coming toward them.

Anna immediately covered her face with a veil while Fabio came toward Alex and whispered something.

"I believe their number is two hundred."

Alex frowned, it was a huge number. Although it wasn't as much as the monsters, they encountered in the Death Forest. Their enemies were humans this time.

It might not be as easy as killing monsters. Alex turned his head toward them. They were still two hundred meters away from him.

"They must be Southern Kingdom's scouts. We need to kill them."

They suddenly took out their weapons. Seeing this, Alex furrowed his eyebrows. Alex looked at them with Spirit Eyes. All of them were Martial Grandmasters. Fortunately, there were no Martial Lord in their ranks

According to Leoz, they should have a few thousand Martial Grandmasters. But, it was for arranging their soldiers. They wouldn't order two hundred Martial Grandmasters altogether. They should split up their forces and add normal soldiers in their ranks.

"Elite soldiers from Zhou Kingdom?"

"Anna, Fabio, ready to fight! Sherry and Kyle will support them."

Anna immediately took out her scythe while Fabio took out his sword. After that, Sherry and Kyle came out of his body.

"What? He also has monsters with him. Ready, make sure to kill them. We can't afford to let the Southern Kingdom know about our plan," the soldiers were ready for a clash.

Alex took out Jeanne's and Vera's card and summoned them.

"Jeanne, Vera, we are going to fight."

"Understood," Vera answered

"Hehe, playing with them," Jeanne said with a chuckle.

"Leader, look at those two beauties. Let's spare them so we can play with them," one of the soldiers said vulgarly.

"Yeah, I'm sure the woman with black hair is a beauty too."

Of course, Alex and co didn't hear it. If not, they, especially Alex and Fabio, would go into a rampage. Alex then took out Greg's card. "Greg, prepare for battle."

"Understood."

"Summon!"

Another person appeared out of nowhere. The soldiers ignored this after they saw Jeanne and Vera.

After all of them had gathered, Sherry and Kyle released numerous firebirds and shot them toward the soldiers. Alex also prepared to call Leoz if needed.

"Ready to fight. Destroy those birds first." The one who looked like the leader of the group shouted.

The enemy also used their Martial Arts or elements to destroy those firebirds.

"Anna, I'm going to release my Pure Fire. You are going to finish the ones who got suppressed by it. And to all of you, kill all of them."

"Understood!" Greg held his shields while Vera pulled out her sword from her waist. As for Jeanne, her weapons were dual short swords. The blade was only around thirty centimeters long, which was uncomparable to Alex's one-meter long blade.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

The firebirds were destroyed. Anna immediately disappeared. Sherry and Kyle shot out another wave of firebirds. The Tsun-Tsun couple was also ready to make a move.

Alex opened the Fire Phoenix Seed inside his body. When his Pure Fire gushed out from his body. Many soldiers suddenly felt a sense of suppression.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

When they destroyed the second wave of firebirds, many of them suddenly clenched their hearts and fell to the ground.

"Argh!"

The rest of the soldiers that didn't feel anything were confused. At that time, Anna had arrived around them.

The soldiers that fell to the ground could see Anna approaching them.

"You-!"

She cut the first soldiers with her scythe. Because of Alex's elemental suppression, they couldn't do anything. Alex completely suppressed them.

Anna also didn't take her time to kill them. She tried to kill all of them as soon as possible. When the enemy soldiers finally knew what happened. They immediately tried to help the one who fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, before they could rescue their comrades, Fabio and Vera crossed their swords. Fabio held his red sword in his left hand while Vera held her blue sword on her right hand. Both of them swung their swords together.

"Twin Elements Slash!"

Two sword waves flew toward the enemy soldiers together. Those two sword waves made an 'X' shape. They were going to kill a few soldiers that were in confusion.

Greg suddenly raised his shield. He combined his two giant half-shields together. "Giant Prison, Metal Box!"

A huge black metal box suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It sealed Fabio's and Vera's sword waves together with many soldiers inside.

"Boom!"

After the explosion, the giant metal box disappeared. Surprisingly, inside the metal box, a few soldiers were cut into half, a few soldiers were burned, and the rest were frozen. In total, that combination attack managed to kill around thirty people.

It seemed that they were going to maximize their attack with a combination. If Greg didn't enclose that space with a giant Metal Box, Fabio and Vera's combination attack might only kill around ten soldiers.

But, with those enclosed spaces, they managed to kill around thirty soldiers.

"What!" The soldiers were shocked by what just happened. They hadn't processed everything that just happened in their mind.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

"Argh!"

Before they realized that, Sherry and Kyle had sent their third waves. The soldiers were rained by firebirds.

"Don't panic. Attack! Attack them! We can attack them together!"

"That's right. Thunder Strike!"

"Mostril Sword Strike."

"Spear Edge."

"Wind Storm."

...

...

Around eighty soldiers regained their composure back. Each of them immediately sent their attack toward Alex and the rest.

"Young Master, I will deal with this attack for you. You should get ready to attack," Greg said while walking to the front.

Alex narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I will trust you," Alex said. He then turned to Sherry, "Sherry, let's go."

"Wuu!" Sherry understood what he wanted to do. She raised her paws.

Alex also raised his hand. Both of them summoned a big Fire Phoenix. To his surprise, Kyle also summoned his own Fire Phoenix.

"Kyle, since when..."

"Chirp!"

"Anyway, it is good that you can do it too."

Greg raised both of his shields. His white colored armor that covered his body suddenly turned to green.

"Gargantua Walls"

Suddenly, ten green translucent walls appeared in front of him. It blocked all of those attacks from the soldiers.

Each wall managed to destroy around ten attacks from them. Greg used every ounce of his strength to block all of these attacks. His walls were destroyed one by one. But he kept holding on.

"Boom!"

Finally, Greg blocked everything. He was down to the last wall where he put all of his energy. He then used his shield to help him stand. Alex was worried about him, but he didn't have time to do that.

"Anna!" Alex shouted.

"Dark Curtain!"

"What?" The soldiers were bewildered when they saw their attacks were blocked by a single person. That attack contained almost a hundred attacks, and to see a single person managed to block it. They couldn't believe it.

Unfortunately, Alex and co didn't stop there. Anna raised her dark curtain to make a dark sphere in the air and trapped all of them inside.

"What is this?"

"I can't see."

"Do-don't panic!"

"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summoning. (Wuu.)(Chirp.)" Alex, Sherry, and Kyle released their phoenix toward the dark sphere.

It penetrated the Dark Curtain that didn't have any defensive power. When the soldiers looked at the crack on that dark sphere, they thought they were safe. Unfortunately, three Fire Phoenix came from that crack and plunged toward them.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

"Gah!"

"Argh!"

The three phoenixes exploded together, killing many soldiers. After those explosions, the dark curtain was undone.

Alex could see there were around sixty soldiers left after those attacks. The leader was angry with their condition. With Alex's small group, they could kill half of a group of two hundred Martial Grandmasters.

"You B*stard, I will ki-" Before he finished his words, his head was cut. Jeanne suddenly appeared and killed their leader. Spark of lightning appeared all over her body as she disappeared once again after killing the leader.

"Fufu, it's time for me to play."

"What?"

"Kill! Kill her."

"Argh!"

"Gah!"

Jeanne moved at lightning speed and killed the soldiers one by one.

"Fufu, I am bored that I need to wait for so long before I could join the fight. I hope you can entertain me."

"Die, you b*tch!" One of the soldiers tried to attack her from behind. But before he succeeded in it, he was killed by a spear out of nowhere.

When they saw who killed him, it was Alex. Alex just threw his spear to provide a cover for Jeanne from afar.

"Ah, Master! You are the best, second only to my Brother!" She said while licking her lips.

"Sherry and Kyle will protect Greg. Fabio, Vera, follow me."

"Understood." (Fabio and Vera)

"Wuu."

"Chirp!"

Alex flew toward the rest of the soldiers as he clenched his sword on his right hand. He released his Omnislash. Anna also appeared beside him as she had finished killing the people on the ground. After that, Alex sealed his Pure Fire back to the seed as killing the rest of the soldiers didn't need him to do that.

"Go!"
