Chapter 83 (1/2)
AN Benefost is actually a female, so she will be referred to as such from this chapter on I’ll backtrack and replace earlier chapters at a later time
Yuusuke started to work on custo in to the expected clash site, enveloping the surroundings with the fluttering lights In one custoed to fill six hundred meters of the road with traps
As he was approaching the expected battle ground, Yuusuke started to work on custos with fluttering lights, in one custoed to to fill six hundred meters ofroad with traps
Upon arriving at the soon-to-be battlefield, Yuusuke repeated the same customization on the road behind him He also added a small path to connect both areas With that, around two kilo battle
“Phew, soet it done in time I leave the rest to you”
“Understood I’ll take over from here”
Placing poles toand the end of the eastern custoroup – a s in either long distance offensive divine arts, movement divine arts, or communication type wind arts – to take their positions
Led by Vermeer, the squad’sthem with divine arts and then retreat with the help of the movement buffs
Watching Vermeer finish his deployment, Yuusuke walked to the opposite side and took control of the western squad, and positioned the troops in front of the eight hundredthe battle preparations
The battle formation was as folloestern custoation Squad – Yuusuke – eastern customized area – decoy squad
“It see the battle preparations from within the shadows of the forest
Mercenaries wereof fifteen people Twenty of these platoons totaled to four hundred soldiers In addition, eighty of Benefost’s elite soldiers werewith the mercenaries The Darkness God Corps used wind arts to scan the surrounding area and were fully aware of inco enemies
“We cannot contact the evil beast soldiers, that…”
“There seems to be no traces of the divine arts obstruction aura”
They were probably annihilated or forced to retreat In any case they have fulfilled their duty and Benefost valued that As he was about to denote that, the front mercenary platoon had warned the battalion (tn author used ‘platoon’ to refer to the roups, so I chose ‘battalion’ as the closest fitting military unit to the size of the entire force) of the enemy positions ahead of them
“Ene us!”
“He us with only one platoon And e are outside of the divine arts range too?”
Wondering whether the s due to a difference in size or whether it was all part of so after firing off their attacks The battalion was centered on close co to advance at the current pace would ed the for mercenaries and ordered mercenaries to march onward at a brisker pace However, the platoon had increased their speed, e’s speed
“Are they intending to retreat? They broke the for…”
It was also possible that the other party knew that their long range divine art attacks were barely out of range to do any da the pace of his army, the s no dae to Benefost’s forces
“Are they ai to lure us somewhere?”
“We heard that the Darkness God Corps nu to lure us to their main force?”
Even if the Darkness God Corps planned to attack them, they could not carelessly attack a platoon of this size Taking the enemy commander’s rapid construction divine art into the consideration, Benefost unwillingly ordered her army to attack
“EVERYONE, COMMENCE THE assAULT! DON’T BE SWAYED EVEN IF YOU SEE A TOWER OR A FORTRESS RISE IN FRONT OF YOU!”
Benefost knew of Yuusuke’s exploits in Sanc Adiet, Blue Garden and the experi the attack she expected for so unusual like that to happen
“Even if they created soether, they won’t be able to wall themselves in”
It would be a staggering blow for the ene platoon Afterwards Benefost would surround the re Darkness God Corps forces and sloither them down
With a loud roar, the roup of a fa to s theet was suddenly enveloped by beads of light and vanished
“What happened?”
“They vanished?”
“No! Over there!”
“When? Why now?”
Mercenary vanguards could only shout in confusion, when the platoon that was right in front of them had suddenly roups and assumed battle positions At that moment someone spotted one more person –
“It’s the Fonclanc’s hero!”
“The Darkness God Corps Captain is here!”
Following the plan, Vermeer’s platoon used shi+ft- that, Yuusuke confronted the round tremors
The platoon’s sole purpose was to lure Wind’s Edge inside the h the forest and then show themselves to their ene the enemy believe that they would soon catch up to the small platoon
“That was really scary,” sighed Ver at the exhausted hway His own squad, now standing behind Yuusuke, were also panting, exhausted after the chase
