Chapter 119: First Phase of the War (1/2)

Not long after the battle started, the right army finally got their company. Marsha, who usually smiled through the day, put her serious face on before releasing her killing intent.

The soldiers gasped, finding a new side of Marsha. Her gaze was so cold, freezing them in the spot, and her eyes became sharp before she shouted, ”All fighters will follow me as we will hold the magical beasts. Gunners, all of you focus on killing them one at a time. The middle army has sacrificed themselves to direct half of our enemies to the left army. If we can't even deal with these puny numbers, be prepared for the consequences!”

”Ye-Yes, Ma'am!” The soldiers never expected Marsha to have this kind of side. Her warm nature flashed on their mind as they clenched their weapons, thinking, 'We will surely win the fight.'

Their surprise did not end there. Marsha dropped another bomb by taking out her glaive in front of them. The first weapon came in thought after seeing Marsha would be a delicate weapon. Even if it were not a rapier and such, it would be a spear or sword.

Unfortunately, their expectations were shattered twice, as they felt nothing would surprise them anymore. With a determination as well as disappointment, they picked up their weapons and roared.

”Attack!” Marsha quickly gave her orders as she ran across the field to meet these many magical beasts.

”Uoh!” The yell echoed in the battlefield. Whether they were women or men, they shouted on top of their lungs, charging toward the magical beasts.

The gunners started shooting the magical beasts, killing them one by one. Unfortunately, just like the battle in Prince Rupert, a single bullet was not enough to kill the magical beasts. They started grouping together and aiming at one magical beast at a time according to Marsha's instruction.

With five people shooting at the same spot simultaneously, it created a hole and killed the magical beast in a split second.

For some reason, Marsha smiled and swung her glaive, blowing away a giant crab. The crab took a few sea creatures behind it and stopped the momentum of the magical beasts.'

For them, such events were already beyond their imaginations.

Momentarily, the soldiers thought of two options: The first option was stopping the charge of magical beasts to protect the gunners on the back. The other option was to use the momentum that Marsha made and pushed the magical beasts. Unfortunately, the latter carried a huge risk as the magical beasts might pass through them and destroy the gunners' formation. Coming to a conclusion, they spread out to receive the entire charge of these magical beasts.

The battle escalated quickly into a full brawl between the two parties. Marsha kept killing the sea creatures as much as possible, showing her prowess to her soldiers. This would raise the soldiers' morale and eventually rout all of the magical beasts.

...

In the left battlefield,

Sarah narrowed her eyes. With the better view from atop the hill, she could see how many the magical beasts were.

The same applied to the soldiers. Although they already anticipated this sight, they still could not help but tense.

”Don't be afraid!” She shouted. Even the fighters at the bottom of the hill could hear her voice. They looked at her with great anticipation.

”Fighters, just keep the magical beasts away from the hill. Our gunners would surely kill all of them to support you. Dying is not allowed! Do you understand?”

”Yes, Ma'am!”

”Here they come!”

”Uoh!” The fighters became a wall with that surge of morale.

Shirotsuka Sanae quickly descended the hill and threw both of her star knives. A green magic circle appeared right beside the star knives, boosting its speed to create a speed fast enough to shatter the magical beasts' shell.

The soldiers stupefied for a second before helping her to defend the hill. There was even a trace of surprise in Sarah's cold face. Although she had heard about an Elite Snake Group that was proud of their firepower, it was still hard to believe a C or D rank like her could have that much power.

Unfortunately, Sanae did not care about her thoughts and continued her killing spree.

One minute later, she found a group of magical beasts climbing the hill, but she instantly appeared in front of them, creating a giant magic circle on the ground.

The magic circle generated a huge enough wind to launch them a few meters to the air and crashed on other magical beasts.

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows as she shouted, ”Soldiers. Support the fighters now and be careful of friendly fires.”

”Yes!”
