As soon as Alex took the life of Cain, his gaze penetrated deep into the other side and fell on the enemy commander who seemed to be bewildered and shocked to the point that he looked like a frozen statue.
His mind became blank after seeing the two Legendary rank knights dying.
Taking down two Legendary ranks was already akin to breaking one of the pillars supporting the strength of the army and if it was anyone else, they would already think to retreat after dealing the damage.
But seeing the enemy commander near them, Alex decided to change his tactics.
How can he let the prey escape when it was already in his close range?
If today he let the enemy commander escape then his pride as a hunter would be hurt. He needs to kill the opposing commander no matter what.
Since the battle was in the end phase. Alex stopped conserving his strength.
The power in Alex's body exploded and his body emitted a bright golden light as he used the power of blessings to buff his power.
The ground started to crack and strong winds eroded the soil which blew from the place he stood.
Alex raised his bloodied sword, seeing which the Arkham soldiers flinched. They were already stricken by horror after seeing their Legendary rank Knight dying at Alex's hands quite easily.
Alex moved like a storm as the momentum exploding from his body pushed back everyone that stood before him.
KWANG!KWANG!
The Arkham soldiers before him were scattered like pieces of paper with Alex's swing.
Since Alex has already analysed and calculated everything, he didn't hold back anymore.
Alex moved like a gale, blowing everything into tatters and digging deep into the enemy formation.
Duke Sheldon who acted as a commander had a grim expression and his heart was already beating wildly due to terror.
Dozens of Arkham soldiers were slaughtered and even some of the best Knights were killed and torn apart by the man with a single move.
The plan that Arkham had devised despite the huge risk was shattered by this man and his wife.
His eyes trembled with fear and his legs were already quivering asking him to run away if he wanted to save himself.
At that time, he remembered the command he had heard.
'Your sole mission is to capture and occupy the First Defence Line. It will be easy to occupy it but we need to buy time after conquering it.'
Duke Sheldon felt as if he had committed a huge sin by coming here. He shouldn't underestimate the other side and should have used full force but his arrogance made him careless. And now because of this several of his men are going to die.
Even death was not enough to get rid of his guilt.
BOOM!
The ground collapsed as Alex soared into the sky with a kick and his body hovering in the air like an eagle, shot towards the enemy commander like a meteor.
Duke Sheldon's eyes almost popped out as he saw a huge trail of fire descending towards him.
"Soldiers Charge!"
"The enemy is incoming."
"Protect me."
Duke Sheldon screamed in fear and ordered his men while he tried to fall back but Alex's body carrying great momentum descended to the ground.
A large shockwave emerged as Alex descended to the ground.
The Arkham soldiers moving towards Alex were swept away by the shockwave.
Duke Sheldon pulled his sword. He wasn't just a normal man and had been properly trained.
Even though he was an excellent swordsman, how can he match Alex?
Alex's figure disappeared and suddenly, he was right before Duke Sheldon.
He pointed at Alex and drawing out his aura, he roared to mask his fear.
"I am Duke Sheldon of Arkham! I am the Commander-"
Slash!
Kuak!
Before Duke Sheldon could finish his words, a red line was drawn which appeared over his neck, at a rate invisible to the naked eye.
Even though Duke Sheldon was a Transcendent rank, it just took a single slash.
Never in his life, he would have thought that a day would come when he would be killed by a single slash and it was so fast that no one was able to react.
Alex just appeared before him and in an instant, Duke Sheldon's head flew in the air and blood started to spurt from his neck like a fountain.
Alex's expression remained unfazed and under the shivering eyes of the Arkham soldiers who stood rooted, to the spot. Alex raised his sword in one hand while the enemy commander's head in the other roared.
"The enemy commander had been killed."
The voice echoed throughout the place and at that instant, everything that was happening on the battlefield was suddenly stopped.
It looked as if the war had never happened and the people standing here were just statues.
The atmosphere was as cold as ice.
Arkham soldiers were confused and didn't know what to do next. They still had enough force and outnumbered Kinley's forces by two.
If they fight, they might be able to bring Kinley down but the situation was quite confusing.
As the battle descended into silence, Alex turned his head towards the soldiers near him and slashed.
Kuak!
Blood splashed and three bodies fell.
It was not a normal gang fight which would stop after the leader was down but a huge war where the enemy side had taken a huge risk by coming here.
Alex raised his voice and shouted, "Soldier of Kinley, it's time to take revenge and strike down the invaders who dare to aim for our territory."
"We can't let them survive. If we let them go, they would come back with others to start another war and hunt us down like dogs.
"Risk your lives and eliminate them."
This wasn't a war between the Kingdom of an Empire where the soldiers would surrender voluntarily with the fall of the king.
If Alex lets them go or takes them as a prisoner, their huge number might pose a threat now or they may come to take revenge so he needs to cut down as much as he can until his body can't lift the sword.
Only idealists think that surrender could save their life and that they would be freed later but realistically surrender is not allowed in such a situation.
When the troops of Kinley witnessed Alex starting to slaughter his enemies without slighted mercy they cheered "We will follow the Liege's will."
"Kill all the remnants of Arkham."
Alex screamed and appeared on the other side and blocked the exit of the Arkham soldier's single handle.
Riya flapped her hand and many invisible threads appeared which started to cut everything into pieces.
She looked much more deadly and dangerous than the time she was using a dagger.
Before she looked like a butcher. Now, she looked like the Goddess Of Death and strings seemed to become strings of fate when pulled would harbour the life of an enemy.
The enemy's struggle was useless. As long as they were trapped in her strings, they would turn into useless puppets waiting to be slaughtered.
Riya was killing the enemies, and suddenly showed Alex a hand sign from afar.
''It seems he can't hold himself back anymore and might begin rampaging."Riya chuckled.
