"Young Master. A big problem! Evelyn is in danger!"
"What?"
"They sent Evelyn to intercept a detachment from the Zhou Kingdom. Their number is around three thousand, and all of them were Martial Grandmasters. In contrast, she only had a thousand Martial Grandmasters."
"!!!" Alex was startled. If Evelyn clashed with three thousand Martial Grandmasters with her troops. She and her troops would be annihilated. If she were with Anna and the others, she would be fine. Sadly she was not.
It was not like he was underestimating the soldiers from Thiveapia Kingdom. It was just Anna and the others being too absurd that could make him think like that.
"And they have already clashed!"
"Who sent her?"
"The crown prince!"
Alex frowned. There was a trace of anger in his eyes. "I really hate the royal family, whether it was the Southern Kingdom's royal family or this kingdom's royal family. Why can't they just be nice to each other like Acacia Kingdom's Royal family?"
"What should we do, Alex?" Anna came to him and asked. She also heard his conversation with Nicole.
"Nicole, where is she? I am on the battlefield."
"If you are facing the Zhou Kingdom from the Thiveapia Kingdom, then it is on your right."
When he heard that, his expression darkened. His position was the exact opposite of them. And the only way to get to that place was to break through from the Zhou Army.
"Your position is close to Evelyn, right?" Alex asked.
"Yes!"
"I don't care about the others, but if needed, you may show yourself and take her out of that place. I will be coming to your place." Alex said.
At first, he considered using his Teleportation Array. However, he already got spotted by both sides, so if he used it, he would become even more 'famous' as there might be many wanted posters for him alone later.
Even though he already put on his mask, the people would realize that he was Alexander Sirius as that Princess Luna already knew about his identity.
Alex looked at the two incoming armies.
"Leoz!"
"Yes."
"You will be the vanguard. Use your True Spirit Body, and we will go to Evelyn's position through the Zhou Army." Alex said. He wanted Anna to use her True Spirit Body too, but Anna was specialized in massacring enemies. Not breaking through their formation. For the analogy, Leoz looked like a sharp spear that could pierce anything while Anna was like a sword that slashed and broke an armor but could not cut the body.
Leoz nodded as he raised his giant sword. "True Spirit Body. Thunder Berserker Form."
Two horns appeared on his head as his body was fully covered by lightning.
"Go!" Alex said.
The moment he said that, Leoz immediately charged toward the incoming Zhou Soldiers with his giant sword.
He raised his giant sword before swinging it down. "Thunder Spirit Slash!"
A huge lightning sword wave flew toward the Zhou Soldiers. It shocked both the Zhou Kingdom and the crown prince. The incoming soldiers from Thiveapia Kingdom even halted their advance as they saw that giant sword wave plunged toward the Zhou Soldiers.
Noticing the power, they knew they underestimated Leoz's power. All of them tried to avoid this sword wave, but few of them did not manage to avoid it and died. Leoz did not have time to kill the soldiers that managed to dodge his attack.
He immediately led Alex and Anna toward the numerous soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom.
"Incoming! From our right!" The people who noticed Alex's group immediately shouted to inform the rest of the soldiers.
Ten lightning balls suddenly appeared in front of Leoz and formed a circle. They were connected by a lightning line.
The lightning circle suddenly got bigger and bigger until it made a 30 meters circle. In the center of the circle suddenly glowed brightly.
"Not good! Incoming Attack!"
"Thunder God Cannon!"
The lightning shot out a laser beam. It destroyed everything in front of its way, killing thousands of soldiers. Because of the situation, Leoz decided to use his full power in this state. He would not be able to use this move again. And in fact, he already used more than half of his power.
However, Alex and Anna could immediately see a huge line without any soldiers in it.
"Young Master!" Leoz shouted.
Alex nodded.
Leoz came in front of them again and led them through this single line to break through the enemy soldiers.
"You bastard!" Just when they started flying again, two 9-Star Martial Lords suddenly came to their way. They were so angry because Leoz just killed many of their soldiers. They also knew that Leoz had used a considerable amount of his power.
When they came, Leoz immediately stopped both Martial Lords.
The soldiers thought they finally managed to stop the demon that killed many of them, along with the two behind him. But they never expected that Alex and Anna did not bother with them and continued flying past Leoz.
"Leoz, I am going first."
"Yes, Young Master. Please go ahead."
They were dumbfounded when they saw Alex and Anna had abandoned Leoz in this crowd of soldiers. It was basically a death sentence if he was trapped inside here. They thought they were already cruel enough by massacring those people in the cities.
But Alex even sacrificed his comrade just like this to make way for him, and more importantly, he was a 6-Star Martial Lord. They did not know for what purpose Alex did this, but they certainly could not let Alex and Anna go away.
"Stop them!" One of the 9-Star Martial Lords shouted to the soldiers. The soldiers started gathering around to stop them from passing their ranks.
"Anna, make a Dark Curtain that could stretch until we get past these soldiers. But make sure that Leoz is also covered by it." Alex said.
Anna was perplexed by his order. She knew that he wanted to break through this place using her Dark Curtain. He was planning to create confusion while flying in a single direction. But she did not understand why he wanted to cover Leoz too.
Even though she was confused, she still complied with his order.
"Dark Curtain."
Suddenly a long giant Dark Sphere appeared. It stretched from Leoz to an empty space on the left of the battlefield.
"What is this?"
"Be careful! Don't touch it!"
"This might be another attack."
Leoz's attack made a great impact in their heart that even made them afraid of Anna's harmless Dark Curtain.
In the middle of confusion, Alex continued flying. Since they only needed to fly in a single direction, they did not need Spirit Eyes just to see where they wanted to go. Nonetheless, Alex still activated his Spirit Eyes to see if there was a soldier that tried to stop them.
Fortunately, there were none. Alex then took out Leoz's card. "Recall. Summon."
He summoned Leoz to his side. And since it was dark inside, Alex immediately grabbed and dragged him away the moment he appeared. This was the purpose why he wanted the Dark Curtain to cover Leoz.
If he just summoned him later, it was like he disappeared from the scene. The enemy might even think they were using a Space Element. Even though they were in an emergency situation, Alex had learned from his previous experiences. He did not lose his head and used everything at his convenience but leaving a potential problem.
What made him sad was because Leoz did not kill any of the 9-Star Martial Lords. Well, Alex did not tell him his plan since he had no time, so Alex could not complain about that. They continued toward the end of the dark curtain.
*Clang!*
The sound of the Dark Curtain broke to pieces filled the battlefield as the one who broke it was Alex. He had arrived at the end of the 'tunnel.'
"What? We have been fooled by them. We need to chase-!"
But when they tried to chase them, a loud sound came from the front.
"Uoh!"
The soldiers from the Thiveapia Kingdom were stampeding toward their position. Alex unintentionally made a great diversion for them to push the Zhou Kingdom back.
Alex and the others continued toward Evelyn.
Of course, it did not escape the crown prince's eyes. He looked at them before turning his head to Elder Oliver and Jack. Although they volunteered to join the war, they were only planning to watch from the side. They did not have any intention of joining the war.
"Elder Oliver, this is the perfect time to ambush them." He said.
"Hoho, it seems you are right. Although that lightning attack was surprising, I think that person could not use it again because it took most of his Spiritual Energy. But I think we need a few Martial Lords and a thousand Martial Grandmasters."
"I will spare three thousand soldiers." The crown prince nodded.
"We are going to show him the price of messing with us."
"Indeed, as Elder Oliver said. I am sure that he wanted to save that group. But he also needs to fight with the other soldiers. And with our power, we should be able to kill him." Cromwell nodded his head.
The crown prince wanted to bring three thousand soldiers because he knew there must be Zhou soldier's remnants. Killing Alex and Evelyn as well as racking up this achievement by killing the ambush from Zhou Soldiers, it was killing two birds with one stone.
On the other hand, what Oliver thought was the two items Alex got from the auction as well as his personal wealth. Alex should have more money since he raised the bid without batting an eye. If he had those kinds of money, he did not need to worry about anything.
…
Meanwhile, in Evelyn's location,
"Princess, we will try to hold them back. Please, even if it is just you, you need to survive." One of the remaining soldiers said to her.
Their group was annihilated, and she was already exhausted. Her Spiritual Energy was already empty. Their group fought bravely and even managed to kill 2500 enemy soldiers. Sadly, there were only around ten soldiers left beside her.
"No! We can still fight. I just could not leave all of you after this fight." Evelyn said desperately.
"Ah!"
The Zhou Soldiers killed the remaining soldiers one by one. Evelyn watched them with a sad and tired look. She was standing just with her willpower alone.
"Haha! I remember her face. She is the rumored number one genius in the Thiveapia Kingdom. I never thought we would meet the princess here. And she is a beautiful lady too. We can't kill her. We need to rape her and show the Thiveapia Kingdom our rage!"
"Uoh!"
The soldiers beside her immediately charged toward the Zhou soldiers. "How dare you! Princess, please hurry and go!"
"Hahaha… she can't escape from us! Grab her!"
And finally, all of Evelyn's soldiers were killed by the Zhou Kingdom. "Grab her!"
She gritted her teeth as she knew this was the end. She would rather commit suicide than letting these bastards rape her. She did not know why, but because of the 'rape' thing, the thought of Alex embracing her in a hot steamy night appeared on her head. "Big brother Alex…"
She looked at the Zhou Soldiers that were trying to stop her from suicide. But before she managed to kill herself, Evelyn saw the nearest soldiers that were trying to stop her suddenly stopped on their track and fell to the ground. If they looked carefully, there was a needle on their heads.
And not long after, a woman suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"Little girl, you should not commit suicide as this is not the end for you." The woman said.
"Who are you?" Evelyn asked with a low voice.
"I don't care who you are. How dare you to stop us! But since you are also a beauty, you will get a turn with every soldier along with her. Hahahaha!"
"You talk too much." The woman said.
"Woman, do you think you can fight all of us with your 10-Star Martial Grandmaster cultivation?"
"Of course not. I am not your opponent since my job here is done as my king finally appears!" The woman said.
"Huh, what d-!"
Before he finished, Alex finally appeared along with three fire phoenixes.
"Fire Phoenix Art, First Stage. Phoenix Summon."
