Chapter 87: Lured In

While we were just on standby in the air, we were looking at the situation. The soldiers of ours were defending pretty decent. The archers are targeting the ones in front of the melee soldiers while the gunners are blasting away at the big and intimidating monsters at the back. Reducing their firepower seeing as how in panic they are.

"Yefa, go taunt the Three Kings' army. Judging by their position, they wouldn't be able to see the giant turtle heading our way. Make sure to aggravate them and lead them here." I ordered her.

"I'll do that now. Blink!" Yefa then vanished into thin air.

"Afal, support your soldiers. Rize, go ahead and lure some more monster camps near here. Use your gun to lure them out of their hiding. Greta, you go on and only enter some normal dungeons and immediately go to the very end to lead out the strongest monster."

"What? We're already being overpowered by their numbers, and to mention, our enemy's soldiers are here!" Greta voiced her opinion.

"Its fine. We'll be getting 60,000 troops or more soon." I confidently replied.

" What...?"

"Let's just do it Greta, come on, I'm sure Zieglind has something up in his sleeve." Zeta then dragged her.

"Zeta, Precia, you stay here. I'll have you help with something."

Everyone then dispersed into their objectives.

"What do you need us for?" Precia asked.

"Zeta, can I take a look at your skills?"

"Uh yes. System, skill list!" A bunch of menus popped up in front of Zeta.

"Damn, you've got a big list here." I scrolled in his skill list. I knew it. Preset class has a really insane amount of skills. He has more skills than me. About 100 more. Abyss class is highly underpowered. But this isn't the time for that. I need to focus on the situation before me. "Use these three skills."

"I can't do that. One needs to be channeled then the other is just normal casting."

"Well I have the perfect solution. I hope this works. Telepathy, Double Casting!" The information flooded in my memory then passed on to Zeta. I'm glad it worked. This is the skill I got from defending Yefa's blast before.

"I got it. How big do you need it to be?"

"Enough to fit the giant turtle."

"I can last for about a minute. That's way too large for my mana to handle."

"That's fine."

"Okay then." Zeta flew in front of me and began casting the spells I said. "Magic Expansion!" A giant magic circle appeared below the turtle. I couldn't see it but the bright light it brought was enough to reach the skies. "Spell Vanish!" Zeta's cast was so fast, the turtle nor the inhabitants above the turtle didn't notice. The light was gone in an instant. "Slow!" The slow pace of how the turtle moved became even slower.

"Telepathy, connect me to Yefa." I could feel the connection began. "How's the situation there? We're near."

"What do you need me to do?" Precia asked.

"Yeah sorry about this, you'll be having the toughest objective here. Show me your skills."

"Huh? Uh, okay. System, skill list."

As I looked at her skills, its less than Zeta's but far more than mine. But at least I found the skill I was looking for.

"Yefa, use these two skills then immediately fly up into the air. Most of the long ranged units will be attacking at you so proceed with caution. I'll signal you where to go and where to activate this. Go prepare, I need to contact Greta and Rize. Telepathy connect me to Greta and Rize." I could feel the connection again. "Okay, both of you, lure the monsters in the forest. In just a few seconds, maybe minutes, you'll meet the army of Three Kings. Lure them near our gates!"

"So this was your plan eh?" Zeta said as he was still casting the spell. "Delay the turtle and the demons above it so that the army of the Three Kings will be preoccupied with the monsters."

"That's not all. Just wait. My improv skills are getting great."

"I don't know if that's good or not but 30 seconds left and I'll be completely drained."

"Stop, use that 50% of mana left of you to use in combat. Judging by its speed before and after you slowed it, you prevented it from going 500 meters more. That's enough."

Yefa then spoke in the telepathy. "Where do I lead these soldiers?! The horses are catching up to me! Tsk. Blink!"

"In the gates of our kingdom. Just lead them there!"

After waiting a couple of seconds, our support team has arrived. Also known as, the Three Kings' army.

"URK?! What's going on here?!" What I assume is the leader of the group, a man maybe in his 40s or late 50s has had his horse scared and dropped him off. And so did the rest of the army's horses. They all dropped to soldiers mounted onto them and just ran away.

And then, Greta and Rize arrived. Bringing in the rest of the horde into the Three Kings' direction.

"RETREAT, EVERYONE I REPEAT, R- R- RETREAT!" I could hear the worry and fear while he spoke.

But I won't let them retreat. "Zeta!"

"Got it! Barrier!" A giant wall of barrier was formed. Preventing them from running away.

"No c- choice! Ch- charge!" Even though their morale was low, they were forced to fight.

"Barrier, Hundred Lances, Shining Blade, Firebolt, Miniature Tsunami, Wavedash, Sprint, Strength Up, Dodge Chance Up, Stun, Hammer Bash, Protect All!" Different spells casted randomly without organization. But they can maybe win in numbers.

The monsters looked at the army and redirected their attention at them. Giving up on breaching the gates.

After a few seconds, they entered battle.

"Precia now, use that skill!"

"Mhm!" Precia deactivated her flight skill and fell between in the middle of the two groups. "Taunt!"

Red eyes was visible from both the monster and the army followed by a large roar. They then charged into Precia but she was quick to fly up in the sky so the two groups collide. They both shouted at each other like beasts and began attacking each other.

We all regrouped and all of the Crimson Order is back together as we observed the battle below.

And just as I predicted, the flow of battle is in the palm of my hands. "Its here. The turtle and the demons are here."

They entered the battle by the turtle lifting its feet and smashing it onto the ground crushing the some of the army and the monsters below it.
