Chapter 540: Anastasia the Bold (1/2)

The waves of cheers slowly died down, the battlefield turned calm and the respective leaders of the army started giving out orders.

The army was cleaning up the battlefield, Raven was still floating up in the air and looking down, observing how the army moved. Seconds later, three people flew towards him and saluted.

The one who lead this group was a gorgeous woman who wore a set of armor. She had a bowl-cut red hair, skin as smooth as white jade, a beautiful pair of crimson colored eyes, pouty lips and an eye-catching mole on the edge of her right eye. She held a nine foot, nine inches long crimson spear and her armor followed the theme of a Fire Breathing Dragon.

”My name is Anastasia Strauss, Chief Commander of the 1st Devil Slayer's Brigade. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for your timely help. If it weren't for you, our casualties would be higher than what it is right now.”

”At ease, Chief Commander. I should be the one apologizing since I arrive a bit late.” Raven replied.

Anastasia shook her head, there was a visible dismay on her face as she said: ”It wouldn't have turned out this way if it weren't for my miscalculations.”

”Why don't we take this conversation else where? Your men are tired, I'm sure they needed some rest. Will be there be another wave of devils anytime soon?” Raven asked curiously.

”There shouldn't be any for next three days, although I can't be so sure.”

”Then it's fine. Please gather your men around me. I'll set up a Formation so that we could set up a camp.” Raven said as he slowly descended on the ground.

Anastasia looked as if she wanted to say something but Kyrie waved at her and urged her to just follow his orders.

Trusting the Battle Maid, Anastasia nodded her head and gave out orders to her men. The two soldiers behind her were skeptical but orders were orders. They can't show any signs of insubordination right now.

When the army was gathered near him. Raven took out a formation disc. Upon seeing this, many people turned very skeptical but remained silent. They just watched as Raven activated the formation and it soon enveloped every single one of them.

As soon as dome formed, everyone including Anastasia were gobsmacked.

The soft and gentle caress of fresh and cool wind came as a misconception as first but as seconds ticked, the sensation repeated itself, making them realize that this was no misconception. It was real.

The gentle winds turned into winter breeze. It eliminated all heat and brought a refreshing sensation to their skin. The gentleness within the barrier was incredibly touching that it tapped into the fatigue hiding from the depths of their soul.

They were tired. It was completely obvious now that the feeling of safety and security surrounded them.

Anastacia on the other hand was trembling on the spot.

What she's witnessing right now is nothing short of a miracle. Indeed it was. She had been in the sect for far too long that she knew what this represents.

Just the simple act of him changing the environment of Asphodel is a huge deal in of itself, not to mention about his battle credits too.

”Here.” Raven took something out from his spatial ring and passed it down to Anastasia and the two men behind her.

Anastasia was startled, she couldn't help but ask: ”What are these?”

”Camping materials. Tents, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and so on.” Raven pointed at the stuff he handed to her, he then pointed at the stuff he handed on the men behind her and continued: ”Those are dried rations and those are medical kits. Feel free to distribute it to your men. We only have little time to rest, I advise you to move quickly.”

Anastasia was shocked once again however this time she immediately recovered and started passing down orders. The surprises she received were too much right but unfortunately, Raven's not giving her anytime to process everything therefore she could only comply and follow his orders.

The men behind her immediately carried out orders, when she turned around she saw Raven busying himself with something, she wanted to talk to him by Kyrie prevented her with a shake of her head.

Anastacia exhaled long and hard, she then shifted towards Kyrie's side and whispered: ”So, this is the 9th Chosen of Zeus?”

Kyrie giggled and nodded, saying: ”Yeah. How's he? Pretty capable right?”

”Capable is an understatement!” Anastacia quietly exclaimed. ”Look! Look at this! Never in my wildest dreams would I dare to imagine Asphodel getting cold but now? Now what can I say? And don't even get me started with that domineering display earlier. Girl, you have to understand, this lady isn't getting any younger.”
