Chapter 272: Black organization stuck in between a Smiling Lion and a Mischievous Blue Sword part 2 (1/2)
Author: M_W Cancer
The soldiers were only able to feel seemingly like a gust of wind sweeping through them before they one by one hold their necks afterwards as blood suddenly sprouted out. It wasn't only that, because of the Fire Element that was added in the Death Wake Dagger, the wound became much more lethal. Even if they were cut by Leo just right beside a Healer and letting the Healer heal them freely, they would still die because the skin part has been thoroughly burned, hence it would be extremely hard to mend the wound together, unless of course if they have an extraordinary regenerative ability, if they were in the Galaxy level, if the Healer was likewise in the Galaxy level, or if there were a lot of Healers healing one soldier.
”This is really...” Leo really can't believe that the Death Wake Dagger was such a powerful weapon, especially when he combines Magic with it. If it was just used in the same way as to how he usually uses a dagger, it wouldn't show its uniqueness and full potential, but with Magic added, it became a different story. In fact, he can feel that for his 1 Star level, the Death Wake Dagger was like a bottomless pit where he can keep on adding an Element Mana for 1 day straight and it would still not be enough to activate its full potential, rather only half.
Seeing Leo easily killing their comrades seemingly like cutting cabbages, a few of the soldiers who were next in line to face him started hesitating. After all, if Leo can kill dozens of soldiers without breaking a sweat, not to mention them.
”Go, go, go, don't be afraid! Attack him!” The Vice-captain who had received the order from the Captain who had cowardly escaped already exclaimed out loudly to his comrades.
However, just right after finishing his lines, a stone spike has then penetrated the Vice-captain's forehead, killing him easily.
Who else would the stone spike come from aside from the Earth Elementals standing behind Leo like a personal bodyguard protecting their Young Master?
”Who else wants to offer their lives to my Death Wake Dagger? You are all free to come!” Leo taunted. He wasn't stupid. Despite being able to kill dozens of soldiers easily, it was only because it was still the beginning of him using Magic to his weapon. If this battle continues, he would eventually run out of energy much faster than the soldier's death rate. Hence, he needs to do something like scaring them so as to not let that situation happen.
”Either I would kill you personally, or them, though it's not up to you to choose how you will die!” Leo smiled mischievously, hoping that it will intimidate them.
”We...”
And fortunately, it seems like it would work.
”Would you really let us escape? No strings attached?” One of the soldiers asked.
To be honest, while fighting the soldiers on top of the walls, Leo had noticed something really important. These soldiers on top of the wall were actually not all members of the Black Organization, but instead, those soldiers who had originally belonged to the Southern Fortress. Simply put, they have no choice but to fight if they want to keep on living.
Therefore, he thought of a plan of scaring them. If they were really members of the Black organization, scaring them would definitely be hard because as long as Barbara was still fighting, then they will also keep on fighting until the end. Fortunately, not all of them were, hence he tried his luck on executing his plan.
However, although the majority of the soldiers were not members of the Black organization, Barbara was obviously not stupid to not assign any of her capable men in case that this kind of situation would happen.
”Don't believe him, where do you think we can escape once we leave this post? All of the directions have their men fighting against us, even inside the city, so the only choice we have here is to fight them with our lives, to win this war if we want to live!”
”Exactly, don't be fooled by him! Don't you see, those Elementals behind him are actually weaker than Nature's Wrath, so don't let it scare you!”
”Even if he can kill one of us, two of us would rise, and if two is still not enough, then four should be enough, if not, then just keep on fighting. I don't believe our numbers wouldn't be able to kill him!”
”.....”
Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!
If Barbara has a plan, obviously Leo would also have one. Hence, he didn't hesitate to kill those who dares to speak up.
”Who told you they don't have any choice?” Leo smiled, ”Join us, and you will be able to live. Don't betray us, and you will have a great future ahead!”
Hearing Leo's offer, a few of the soldiers immediately started considering his proposal.
Truth be told, even the stupidest person can see what Leo wanted to offer them, hence how can they not?
”I'll join!”
”Count me in!”
”I've just realized this, but it seems like we are actually not fighting alongside the Sword and Magic, but instead some other else.”
”What do you mean?”
”Don't you see the battlefield below us? Sword and Magic are fighting alongside the Mischievous Lion organization and Blue Fin Kingdom, so who are we really fighting for?”
