Chapter 504 Fighting Defensively

Ellen informed Shun about David's battle against Noah and Ralph. Shun was a bit startled that Noah and Ralph had managed to halt David's momentum. However, the surprise was accompanied by a delightful expression.

According to the situation on the battlefield, it was necessary to stop David from further damaging the Glerian Kingdom's army. If the damage was too great, Shun couldn't use the Glerian Kingdom's army to achieve his objective.

After nearly three more hours of fighting, all forces retreated to their respective camps. It was time for the soldiers to get some rest while the captains of their respective divisions were briefed on the tactical changes for the battle tomorrow.

Noah had ingested Supreme Recovery Pellet, and his injuries were healing rapidly. Nearly all the Heretical Paladins were the same.

Ralph was in another corner of the camp, healing his injuries along with his group. He didn't approach Noah because Azaroth had forbidden them to make contact in front of strangers.

Both sides were bound to think that the two only cooperated temporarily to defeat David Valliadis.

Shun, on the other hand, had a different perspective. Indeed, he was very certain that at least Azaroth's three main subordinates had already entered this war as he studied David's battle based on the intel he had acquired.

Thankfully, David hadn't kept anything from his sister; otherwise, Shun would have been left in the dark.

'Let the war go on for a bit longer…' Shun decided as he was waiting for the bigger fish to enter this battle.

The second day started soon enough.

Similar to the previous day, the 6 Star Warriors immediately started their own battle in the skies while the others fought on the ground.

The 5 Star Warriors could fly, but they remained pretty close to the ground since they didn't want to die accidentally through an attack by a 6 Star Warrior. That would be pretty unfortunate.

The battle continued, and the Sinyalian Kingdom's army continued to dominate. It was because of their much higher morale and the presence of David Valliadis on the battlefield.

Nearly 400,000 Sinyalian Kingdom soldiers fought the 300,000 Glerian Kingdom soldiers. This meant that the Sinyalian Kingdom had lost nearly 100,000 soldiers on the first day, and the Glerian Kingdom had lost nearly 150,000 soldiers.

There were massive casualties for both sides.

The second day got off on a rocky start for the Glerian Kingdom as the Sinyalian Kingdom's army seemed prepared to deal with the beast army. This trick could no longer surprise the Sinyalian Kingdom's army.

There were only 50,000 beasts who had joined the battle on the first day, and nearly 47,000 of them had been slaughtered already.

Such a great casualty rate was because there was no Beast Lord among them. And once the Sinyalian Kingdom found the trick to deal with them, it became a very simple battle for them.

The situation improved slightly when Ralph appeared in the army and regrouped the remnants of these beasts, and led them to attack the weak points of the Sinyalian Kingdom's army.

David fought against Noah and Ralph.

Noah couldn't reach the 5 Star Rank since he was disturbed the previous day by David. He was more focused on diverting or dodging David's attack rather than blocking.

Meanwhile, Ralph was focused on using his quick speed to assault David whenever he found an opportunity. This created a short window for Noah to attack David.

Unfortunately for them, David managed to deal with that combo rather easily. He was just that strong!

However, because of Ralph and Noah, David couldn't rally his troops to slaughter the Glerian Kingdom's forces. This, in turn, allowed the Glerian Kingdom's forces an opportunity to breathe.

While this was occurring, the battle in the skies turned more chaotic. The 6 Star Warriors on both sides fell one after another. And it had reached a situation where the Sinyalian Kingdom had more extra 6 Star Warrior on their side.

This gave them an edge in the battle!

Currently, the Dragon Squad's Leader and Spencer Russel had already fought while using their full strength. However, it was a perfect draw.

​ Spencer Russel seemed to be very cautious of Dragon Squad's Leader's strength, while Dragon Squad's Leader was very cautious of Spencer Russel's fighting style. He had to stray extra-attentive to ensure Spencer Russel couldn't lead the pace.

Typically, the assistance of another 6 Star Warrior would be very helpful for Spencer Russel in such a situation. But that wasn't the case here.

In fact, the 6 Star Warrior did his best to ensure that he wouldn't involve himself in their battle.

Even for a 6 Star Warrior like him, the battle between Spencer and Dragon Squad's Leader was going on at a very high level. He didn't want to become a liability for Spencer!

Thus, this 6 Star Warrior assisted his other comrades and slowly reduced the warriors on the Glerian Kingdom's side.

The Dragon Squad's Leader noticed it, but he had his hands full as he fought Spencer. He couldn't go and assist his comrades as well without harming them.

New factions joined the battle just when the situation seemed very unfavorable for them! Three more 6 Star Warriors joined this battle, while nearly 100,000 soldiers joined the Glerian Kingdom's army on the ground.

This massive army of 100,000 soldiers was the combined army led by the princes of the Glerian Kingdom!

Even Black Hurricane joined this army and was intent on defeating the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces. He recalled the King's promise that the prince with the highest impact in this war would become the crown prince.

After Black Hurricane arrived, Noah and Ralph fell back, and they disappeared from the battlefield. They had suffered grave injuries in their battle against David. Now that the princes of the Glerian Kingdom were here, they decided to leave it up to them.

Only Black Hurricane could somewhat counter and block David's attacks. The other princes were absolutely terrified as they faced David. They now understood how David had killed three of their brothers alone.

And these princes were quite shocked as they witnessed Black Hurricane's battle against David. They never realized that Black Hurricane was so powerful.

The battlefield on the ground and the battles in the air were slowly tipping in Glerian Kingdom's favor.

The second day ended soon enough. Today was the Glerian Kingdom's victory. Due to the princes ' reinforcements, they managed to slaughter more of the Sinyalian Kingdom's soldiers.

Shun didn't seem worried as he saw the casualties. He knew the king would make his move soon enough and order another commander to join this battlefield.

The next week, another 100,000 soldiers would join the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces. They had to play it defensively for the next whole week to ensure low losses.

This was precisely what the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces did for the entire week. They only lost about 79,000 soldiers compared to the 65,000 soldiers on the Glerian Kingdom's side.

They managed to minimize their losses by using a defensive battle formation that acted as a protective avatar that blocked the enemy's attacks.

This was only natural since the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces played purely defensively. And soon, the arrival of this new force of nearly 100,000 soldiers changed everything.

The Sinyalian Kingdom's army that was on the defensive this whole week suddenly utilized offensive battle formation.

This was true even for the 6 Star Warriors who fought in the sky. The Sinyalian Kingdom's side was a rather low number of 6 Star Warriors compared to the Glerian Kingdom's side. Despite their low numbers, the battle formations allowed the Sinyalian Kingdom's 6 Star Warriors to fight equally against the Glerian Kingdom's 6 Star Warriors.
