Chapter 576 - War Started (4) (1/2)
”Charge!!” The Regalia's vice commanders also shouted.
In no time, the two sides clashed. The Regalia's vice commander's group was quickly surrounded since they had lower numbers. However, it didn't mean they immediately gave up. On the contrary, it made them spirited.
With only a small number, their fighting spirit increased, their decisiveness scared some of the Gaia's soldiers. Moreover, all of the Regalia's soldiers had already pledged their loyalty to follow their commander to the death.
The casualties on Gaia's side increased a lot. However, it didn't make Gaia's side backed down. They had a number advantage. It just a matter of time before the Regalia's vice commander's groups would be eradicated.
Not all of Gaia's soldiers surrounded Regalia's vice commander's group. There were a number of swordsmen who were confident enough, spread to the side.
In a war like this, even though swordsman had a disadvantage because of their short attack range, but they were an important asset in a war. The first reason was obvious, they had high health and could act as a vanguard. However, the most important reason was because of their [Blitz Attack].
[Blitz Attack] was a skill that allowed a swordsman to perform short teleportation. Although the distance was only 1 meter, this skill could work well in a war, especially capturing a fort like this.
This skill would allow them to teleport to the top of the wall or even passed through the castle wall. Of course, this skill could not be used freely. If they carelessly used this skill, they could appear in the middle of the enemy's group. That would mean suicide.
Some of the confident swordsmen moved to the side and scoured the wall. Then, they immediately used the skill and teleported. Some of them tried to directly move inside the outpost, while some of them teleported to the top of the wall.
As soon as they arrived at their destination, they wanted to create havoc. However, before they could do it, three attacks landed on their body. Then, two more attacks landed at them and killed them.
The outpost's commander and several elites under him had already anticipated this. So, they had covered some of the outpost's area near the wall. When these Gaia's swordsman appeared among them, they immediately attack them.
Some of the weaker Gaia's swordsman immediately died. Meanwhile, the stronger one still alive despite the serious injuries. However, that also didn't last long before they passed under the attacks.
Fortunately, the number of Regalia's soldiers that protect inside the outpost was little. Hence, some of them survived unscathed.
These people who survive immediately moved around and attacked the nearest enemies they could see. The surprised attacks worked quite well. However, the enemies' side had clerics on their side. So, when these attackers attacked Regalia's soldiers, the clerics who were on stand-by immediately healed them.
Although the Gaia's swordsmen's [Blitz Attack] could not cause any casualty among the enemies, they successfully disturbed the enemies' ranged and magic unit. This disturbance lessened the burden on Gaia's soldiers that still outside of the outpost.
