Chapter 238 - Dawn Attack (4) (1/2)
The archer sergeant began to have difficulty to support Lieutenant Kajo. He was struggling against the two enemies stuck to him.
If the sergeant tried to support Lieutenant Kajo, then the enemies would shorten their distance and danger his life. Otherwise, if he tried to block the enemies' advance, then Lieutenant Kajo would have a difficult time facing his enemies.
Neither of the choices was better than the other one. Although Lieutenant Kajo was powerful than his six enemies, however, it was difficult to fight against six enemies at once. Moreover, there was cleric among the enemy.
Slowly but surely, Lieutenant Kajo's health began to decrease. His health already reduced to 90%. However, Lieutenant Kajo proved to be convincing. It already took several minutes for the enemy to reduce 10% of Lieutenant Kajo's health.
Although he could not kill any of the enemies, his goal to buy time seems going in the right direction. Lieutenant Kajo's enemies also began to feel pressured. They had to kill Lieutenant Kajo quickly. However, they had already taken several minutes and only could reduce 10% of Lieutenant Kajo's health.
Meanwhile, the archer sergeant began struggling. The enemies had come close to him. He was forced to a close combat battle. As a sergeant, he could fight in close combat even though he was an archer. However, his fighting capability surely would not match against the pure close combat soldier.
And, it was proved correct. The two enemies that the sergeant fought began to gain the upper hand in the battle. The archer sergeant had tried hard to dodge and attack. However, cut injuries started to show on the sergeant.
Lieutenant Kajo saw his subordinate's state. However, he could do nothing. His hand already full fighting against these six enemies.
Lieutenant Kajo and the enemies were nervous. The enemies were worried that they could not kill this man before the reinforcement came. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Kajo feared that his subordinate would die before the support came.
Both sides were nervous because of two different reasons. However, there was one thing that linked both of their worries. It was the reinforcement.
Auron was waiting with the other soldiers. At first, their alertness was high. However, as the time gone by, slowly, they became bored. A soldier whispered to the soldier beside him.
When that happened, several other whisper and murmur began to be heard in the group. The corporal could not help but began to rebuke at the talking soldiers. The situation went silent once again.
However, since there was nothing to do, the whisper and murmur began to sound once again. The corporal once again began to stop the soldier and kept their alert up. However, the two sergeants that were left to maintain the big group also could not help but became worried.
It was already a long time, and there was no news or sign of Lieutenant Kajo's presence. However, they still waited patiently.
Then, the third time the whispers and murmur happened again, a commotion started to break in front of the groups. All of the sergeants and the corporals immediately went to the front of the group.
When they arrived at the front, they saw a silhouette of a man coming out from their front. That silhouette was dashing.
