Chapter 576 - War Started (4)

"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. 

Using this opportunity, the other soldiers immediately charged and changed their target towards the Regalia's vice commander's group. The pressure on the vice commander's group increased.

Currently, they had half of their original number. Even with the reinforcements, it was not enough for the vice commander's group to survive.

In just a matter of minutes, the Regalia's vice commander's group was immediately killed. There was only the vice commander left from the group. Moreover, the vice commander had already been heavily injured.

The vice commander's situation was the worst. It was better to die instead of to hold on to his situation. The vice commander's body was full of blood and scars. The vice commander even could not focus his eyes and see what in front of him clearly. He looked so fragile that even the simplest touch would end his life. However, despite the fact that the vice commander was in that state, he still didn't give up. He kept swinging his weapon in front of him.

Smite didn't have mercy and ordered Gaia's soldiers to kill the vice commanders. Although the vice commander's group had completely eradicated, it was not that easy. The vice commander's group had also reaped the life of Gaia's soldiers. He, along with his group, had caused casualties twice the number of their group towards Gaia.

Unfortunately, everything had to end. This was one of the advantages of having a higher quantity.

"Break the Gate!!!" Smite shouted.

Outside of the outpost had been seized by Gaia's side. Now, they needed to get inside and killed all of the Regalia's soldiers inside this outpost to capture the victory.

In just a matter of seconds, the outpost's gate was broken. A wave of Gaia's soldiers immediately poured inside the outpost. The ranged and magic unit on the top of the wall directly launched their attacks towards these soldiers.

Unfortunately, how could the other swordsman let them did this. At this moment, some of Gaia's swordsman used their [Blitz Attack]. The Regalia's ranged and magic unit, who already focused on the Gaia's soldiers' wave, could not defend against these attacks. They were forced to fight in close combat.

Auron was also one of these swordsmen. Seeing the situation had calmed down and all of the enemies on the top of the wall focused on the gate, he used [Blitz Attack] and appeared on top of the wall.

Then, Auron quickly unleashed everything he had on the first enemy he saw. Regalia's soldiers ' fighting spirit weakened with the havoc created by these swordsmen and the Gaia's soldiers. In the end, some of them surrendered, while some of them gave up and just stood still without surrendering or attacking.

"Eliminate all of the enemies!!!!" Smite shouted without mercy.

Because of Smite's orders, Gaia's soldiers killed all of the enemies, even those who had surrendered. The massacre occurred at the top of the outpost's wall.
