Chapter 430 - 430: Overwhelming victory! (3)

"King Jules… Will you do me the honor of riding with me into battle?" Derik bowed slightly as a sign of respect.

While those with them knew this was just Derik joking around and trying to look dramatic, those outside felt Lucia was making a request from the king. This way they all assumed King Jules was still the one in charge and Lucia was only a loyal follower.

"I will ride to hell and back with you, My lord!" King Jules responded with a deep grin.

"You couldn't have said it any better" Derik laughed wildly.

He was beginning to grow fond of these people he called his own. Time and time again they have proven to be able to adapt to his kind of lifestyle and right now it felt like all these people understood him clearly!

"IF THEY WON'T LET US THROUGH, WE WILL JUST BURN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM TO THE GROUND!" Derik's roar was like countless thunderclaps, shaking the skies terribly.

Boom!

Following his war cry, he and King Jules charged forward fearlessly. Watching only two Lucia and King Jules charge towards the enemy while their main forces remained at their position, many leaders came to the conclusion that their spies were not wrong. These people couldn't help but believe that the reports given to them were all true, the people of Kedus have gone crazy after the arrival of their new god.

"Archers!" 

The bald King of Hosu did not flutter. He called out to his forces and all two thousand men hiding in the hills revealed themselves with their bows and arrows. Amongst the thirty thousand men behind him, at least ten thousand of them were archers and they all prepared to block out the sun with their arrows

"Looooooooossssssssse!" 

Following his order, arrows shot into the air, blocking out the sun as it attacked from three sides.

"Shield wall!" Chloe growled and his one thousand men formed a circle before stacking their large shields atop the other to block the incoming attacks. Their eyes were on Derik and Jules who were alone and they couldn't help but wonder how they planned to counter.

"My King!" Derik roared and King Jules nodded in response.

Woosh!

Both men jumped off their horses and kept charging forward. Using their horses to block their sides, King Jules placed his shield right in front while Derik his above their heads to block the arrows raining from above, leaving everyone stunned.

This move left everyone stunned since it should be impossible for any normal human!

Not only were they fast enough to keep up with their running horses even though they wore heavy armor and carried heavy shields. What really stunned these people was the fact that their horses were actually coordinating with them! The way they moved to block their sides, taking the hits from the arrows, and the fact that these horses had their bodies riddled with arrows and they were yet to fall was just too unnatural. 

They were undead horses!

Roar!

Following the shocking event with left the enemy forces too stunned to act for a while, Derik and King Jules reached the enemy forces and quickly charged in.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

With their shields raised, they charged into thousands of foes, smashing into them and bulldozing through effortlessly. The observing parties watched as two men did the work which a thousand men would not be able to do. They charged into the enemy likes, smashing into them and moving deeper without any signs of slowing down, not even for a second.

In just one move, Derik and King Jules crushed over a hundred foes while many more were left gravely injured.

"This will do!" Derik laughed as he and King Jules soon found themselves at the center of the enemy forces and enough space has already been made for them since no member of the enemy force was bold enough to face them and their hellish-looking horses alone!

"Hahahahahahahaha! CHARGE!" King Jules roared.

"CHARGE!" 

No one knew who screamed those words next but almost instantly, Chloe and the others surged forward while maintaining their shield walls in case of ranged attacks. The fact that they can advance so quickly in such conditions was terrifying enough to make the enemy forces shiver and scream out the only them that can be used to define people like them.

Monsters…

Those positioned at the hills surrounding them had no choice but the run down the hill, hoping that they can make it in time to support their people in battle.

Boom!

............................................................…..

It didn't take long before both sides clashed in battle and what was originally shocking became terrifying. Those who observed the battle from afar wet their pants in fear and many swallowed hard as they watched one thousand men slaughter thirty-two thousand. 

The way the forces of Kedus moved was too irregular, coupled with the fact that their physical prowess was far greater than that of men considered strong, they seemed to possess something the looked like a third eye. When fighting it felt like they could see through each other's eyes, blocking and countering fatal blows that would have resulted in the death of a partner.

They always maintained formation and even when they took damage, they brushed it off like its nothing. The coordination of this army was so stunning that everyone who watched them feared and coveted them all at once. Everyone watched them battle in awe and they couldn't help but commend Chloe who was located at the center of the formation, dishing out orders and coordinating his forces properly. 

Twenty minutes into the battle, Kedus was yet to lose a single man but Hosu had lost over five thousand.

King Jules was like an unmovable wall. Thanks to their black armor which has been enhanced by Derik's death magic, no matter how many attacks it took, they couldn't leave a scratch on it so the people only had to protect their exposed heads.

Meanwhile, Derik was like an unstoppable spear, bulldozing through the enemy forces with ease!
