203 Friendly Fire (1/2)
Meanwhile, after the Vanguard Battalion looked the princess had been swallowed under the beast horde, General of the Vanguard battalion ordered charged forward. But to their surprise was the beast horde stopped moving. It was like the beast horde stuck, encircling something.
Afterward, the troops under Vanguard Battalion could see explosion and flame pillar shot upward from afar. Even though the explosion was not that big, but the explosion and a flame pillar at least could kill about 5 beasts at once.
The soldier thought it was the Crimson Princess doing, they never thought it was Randy. Then, there was another explosion, this time the explosion was bigger than the earlier explosion, about three times bigger.
The General of Vanguard Battalion frowned as he looked what happened to the beast horde. He of course, knew the flame pillar, and the explosion wasn't Crimson Princess doing.
General Nicholas Belmont Augustus, the oldest son of the head of Augustus Family. His father was a Duke in the Crimson Cloud Kingdom, he was Crimson Princess' private master; he was the one who taught the Crimson Prince and Crimson Princess.
So he knew the Crimson Princess' skills. The bigger explosion was indeed caused by the Crimson Princess, but the small explosion and the flame pillar was not her doing.
But soon, after the third big explosion, there was a 2 meters flame in the crescent shape shot toward the Vanguard Battalion. Nicholas noticed the crescent from a thousand meters, he surprised a bit, but he was still calm.
”Marvin, block it!” Nicholas ordered one of the Major General on his side with a deep and strict tone.
Even though the crescent flame looked strong, but Nicholas didn't take put it on his eyes as he ordered one of his subordinates to block the incoming crescent flame.
”Yes Sir,” Hearing the order from the General, a middle-aged man in heavy crimson armor quickened his speed, charging forward, leaving the group to block the incoming crescent flame.
Marvin put the crimson rectangle shield forward, intending to take head to head the incoming crescent flame. he had high confidence in his strength, so he just used brute force to block the incoming 2 meters crescent flame.
500 meters…
300 meters…
100 meters…
Marvin had a high confidence to block the two meters crescent flame, but that easy expression and confident look only lasted before the crimson rectangle shield collided with the 2 meters crescent flame, after the two meters crescent flame collided with his shield, his face turned grim.
Boom!
The booming sound rang when the crimson rectangle shield and the two meters crescent flame collided. There was a rectangle shield shot upward, along with the ten meters explosion, while there was a shadow flew back over.
The booming sound shocked the Vanguard Battalion's troops, even General Nicholas shocked by the sudden explosion.
”Stop!” Nicholas raised up his hand and ordered the Vanguard Battalion's stopping the charge. The troops stopped in timely while Nicholas rushed forward, he caught the shadow which shot back from the explosion.
That shadow was Marvin, the Major General who he ordered to block the incoming crescent flame. There was blood flowing from Marvin's mouth, half his face burned, and Marvin was unconscious.
Looking at the Marvin condition, Nicholas immediately took out a healing potion and delivered it to Marvin's mouth.
After a few seconds, Marvin opened his eyes, but his face made a pained expression. It was clear the wound had not completely healed yet. Marvin wanted to say something but Nicholas stopped him.
”Godin! Rodrick!” Nicholas shouted and two people from the Vanguard Battalion came over. After the two people arrived, they shocked at Marvin's condition.
”Bring him back to the camp!” Nicholas handed over Marvin to Godin and Rodrick.
