Chapter 155: Branded (1/2)
As soon as they heard the shout from their commander, they came out of their stupor. They were so into their thoughts that Sam wouldn't make a decision of fighting a battalion and if he did, they thought that they would be able to deal with him with just sheer number.
Now, only they understood that they are judging Sam based on their personal standards, that guy is way above their league. He is on a league of his own.
The battle only started two minutes ago and their casualties are already in double digits.
They moved swiftly to execute their battle formations.
Generally, each company of fifty soldiers will have a battle formation of their own based on their elementary attributes.
In fact, the companies will be made with numbers of same attributes mostly or multiple compatible attributes which work better when they are together.
Only, in the rare cases, they would make a company of soldiers with random and many attributes.
Sam could see that there are more than six companies which are created based on their attributes which can utilise their battle formation.
As for the rest, their members are down for the count.
Sam stopped attacking as he looked at the formations of soldiers with interest.
If the soldiers are compatible and their fighting spirit and coordination reaches a limit, the formation will be highly effective and some phenomenon will occur to represent that state.
Otherwise, the formations are just combination attack tactics.
He is interested because, he was hoping to see a true formation which could cause that phenomenon.
And his hopes came true.
Two companies are emitting the wind elemental and earth elemental energy with a high concentration.
Sam looked at them as he observed the spiritual energy becoming condensed and taking a form.
The wind elemental energy took a form of a Hawk and the earth elemental energy took a form of a brown coloured gorilla. They both are so massive and they are more than thirty feet tall.
Sam was intrigued.
This is formation of battle spirit.
When the battle intent of the soldiers strong enough and they are coordinating in the most efficient manner with a single thought process this battle spirit will be formed.
These battle formations are designed by formation masters also. They would select the appropriate positioning of the soldiers to get a desired battle spirit and the coordination will be depending on the commanders and unity of the soldiers.
There are other types of battle spirits, which are not designed previously and rather formed spontaneously due to the collective effort of the soldiers and their coordinated fighting style and even more rare battle spirit is, the individual battle spirit.
When an individual battle intent is so high that it can rival an army, they can also condense a battle spirit solely based on their fighting style.
But for that to happen on has to meet the right match and give each other enough pressure and also have an extraordinary will to battle.
Sam was curious if he would condense a battle spirit but he didn't meet a match yet. That is why he is looking at the two spirits eagerly.
After they are condensed completely, Sam smirked and said in a loud voice.
”Since, you two teams are interesting enough, let's have some fulfilling battle. I will eliminate the strays first.”
Sam immediately vanished along with the Harbinger in a swift manner.
He floated over the soldiers in the remaining formations which didn't even complete the formations or create a battle spirit and the rest of the individual members.
One could see a circular opening under the harbinger and a highly concentrated spiritual energy filled substances were being dropped over the crowd.
Sam is like a flash of light above them as he moved while dropping the small de-stabilized energy cells.
Deputy General is seeing these energy cells for the first time, but he understood the degree of danger they possess as soon as he observed the spiritual energy turmoil they are causing.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Soon many explosions occurred and when the dust settled, all they can see are the damaged bodies spreading all over the battle fields.
Within half-a minute, Sam destroyed the whole battalion. Now, there are only two companies left.
They howling in grief and sadness. They are staring at Sam with incredible hatred. They finally understood how powerful Sam is and he has only been toying with them all this time.
They knew that they would die as soon as Sam wished to do so. But they still want to take revenge. If they can't defeat him, they would at least hit him once.
