768 Exercise
"Charge!!!!"
The knights quickly took advantage of the explosions and began their counterattack.
Sirius and Astar joined them just as planned.
"Hahahhahaha!
I knew brother Landon was a superhero!
Just as he said, the enemy had 3 fractions.
Now we just have to follow the plan."
"Hmhm
Just follow the plan." Sirius replied before separating with several other men.
Astar nodded and headed straight for the enemy's first team which was composed of warriors.
Perfect, he had eaten a tad bit too much.
So why not do a little exercise?
Astar's aid looked at him helplessly: "Your Highness, can you just use a sword?"
"Why?
I like using my hands."
"Your highness.
We need to ensure that they're dead.
So you must use a sword."
Astar pouted: "Fine! I'll beat them, steal their sword and stab them. Smelly Carl, Are you happy now?"
"-"
.
Carl didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
'Your highness, why are you making it seem like I'm forcing you to bully others?
As your aid, I'm doing this for your sake, alright?'
Astar who didn't know what his aide was thinking quickly spotted 2 foes coming his way.
"Die!!!!"
'Pap!'
In a flash, Astar sent the first one flying.
His natural strength directly knocked the guy towards more incoming enemies like bowling pins.
Some passed and looked at Astar in shock.
What sort of strength was this?
Brother, so you drink a strengthening potion or something?
Astar placed his hands on his face and yelled out anxiously.
"Ahhhhh!... I forgot.
I have to kill them.
So does that mean that I can't send them too far away?
Alright then.
I'll only punch them a little before taking them out.
Now, let's kill!"
With that, Astar began the bloody battle for real this time.
His entire aura changed from his original playful nature.
Even the enemy couldn't help but feel anxious.
Was this till the same seemingly harmless person that they had just targeted?
They ran towards him thinking that he would be an easy kill.
But who knew that they would meet a big fat pretender?
'Brother, you were definitely trying to set us up, weren't you?'
.
Astar didn't give them any time to think.
He rushed towards the closest one, dodged his sword attack and punched the enemy's face.
'Pah!'
The enemy was about the fly away, but Astar used his other hand to hold into him.
Like lightning, he took the enemy's dagger out of his dagger sheath and sliced the enemy's throat off all in 5 seconds.
"You....."
The poor guy struggling and gasping for air.
His hands instinctively dropped his sword and hurriedly tried to hold his throat in an attempt to have his life.
There was air all around him.
But he couldn't breathe it in.
He was drowning in a vacuum void with no air to take in.
'Huuuuhhhh!'
He tried to suck in air from his mouth and nostrils but nothing changed.
Panic and fear were all that engulfed him.
The blood from his throat splattered on Astar's face, making it look murderous.
And while the man was still struggling for air, Astar quickly positioned the poor dude's body in front of him as a shield.
'Puiiiish!'
The struggling man was accidentally stabbed by his one comrade.
Astar quickly pushed his shield onto his new foe and used the dead shield's sword to stab the bastard's side belly.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The enemy didn't even have enough time to react before his head was slit off.
'Slice!'
Clean and simple.
.
Just like that, Astar moved sleepily across the battleground.
"Die!!"
'Pah!'
"How dare you?"
'Slice!'
"Do you know who I am?
Today, I'll show you that little boys like you shouldn't be on the battlefield.
Taste my blade!"
"You, you, you, you, you... You can't kill me.
If my masters know, they will never let you off!"
"Nooooooo!
Listen to me.
Even if you all succeed today, my superiors will surely hunt you down forever.
So why not work for us instead?
Does your majesty Sirius pay you well?
Join us and you can have whatever you desire: women, beautiful estates, wealth, ships, and power.
All this can be yours.
Wait... Why are you moving like that?
No!
You can't kill me, you can't..."
'Slash!'
'Pah!'
'Bam!'
'Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!'
(:TT0TT:)
.
Astar bloodied the entire scene along with his team as they targeted the already lightly injured foes.
The previous explosions had already sprained and injured some of them.
So 50% of them were struggling against Astar and his men during the battle.
They were truly at a disadvantage.
More still, they knew that there was no backup on the way.
So they were all on their own.
They gritted their teeth and swung their swords viciously.
But, they still lost way more men than Astar and the rest.
The entire battleground was chaotic.
Astar did his own thing, while Sirius battled on a different region as well.
And as for Landon, well... He was currently on his way to deal with the enemy's leader, Captain Shai.
It was just that Shai was surrounded by 300 men.
Their men were part of the backup team.
Of course the other had gone down to help their comrades, while 300 guarded Shai.
Fair enough, he too needed some exercise as well.
.
Shai looked at him coldly.
"Boy, I don't know who you are, but I advise you not to test my patience.
Do you know how stupid you are for coming here?
Before the battle broke out, we already outnumbered you all.
We came with 2000 men, while you on the other hand came with a measly 800.
And even though 1/3 of us were heavily injured or dead, we still have close to 1,400 men still fighting out there.
So if you think that someone will come and rescue you, then I can only say that you're more stupid than you look."
"Hay!
Shouldn't you listen to what I have to say before you insult me?
Who said that I was expecting any backup?"
Shai was taken aback before sneering.
"I know your type.
You probably want to fight me one on one in hopes of killing me and getting some huge honour from his majesty Sirius right?
You want to use me as a stepping ground for your success.
You want my men to watch from the side while you use some underhand scheme to take me out, right?"
"Bro, do I look like that kind of person?
What I want is to fight all of you at once."
Everyone's face turned black.
Was he insinuating that 300 of them weren't as good as he was?
Wasn't he just looking down on their skills?
How bold!
Landon smiled confidently and crossed his hands over his chest.
"That's right.
I want to fight everyone at once.
Don't worry, I'll go easy on you.
So, what do you say?"
