Chapter 14: (1)

The monsters, where did they all go.

Jeff finally noticed and pointed towards the deeper parts of the battlefield.

All the monsters seem to have gathered there.

Right in the middle of the central battlefield where the central army was.

Looking around the battlefield, the knights, magicians, and soldiers of the central army were in sync as they marched deep into the monsters horde.

It seemed that all the monsters on their side had gone there.

I didnt realize it because I was too busy fighting.

Even Kaiyan was too busy fighting, so he didnt notice his surroundings at first.

There was no way he could scan his surroundings when he was busy facing monsters right in front of him.

Well done. When fighting monsters, its best to concentrate only on them. You might be the one lying there if you have an aha moment.

(Editor: its an actual term used for discovery moments.)

Yes. Ill keep that in mind.

It was important to remember Uncle Jeffs words. It was foolish to have other thoughts on the battlefield.

Whew Its better than yesterday

Kaiyan was about to say that he was relieved that it was better than yesterday, but as he looked around, he had to close his mouth.

Soldiers

Monster corpses and red blobs that were assumed to be human were scattered around.

There were hardly any human corpses that appeared to be intact after being attacked by monsters.

Most of them had body parts torn off and disappeared somewhere or were crushed by a strong force and scattered into pieces.

I knew that many had died, but

Kaiyan knew that quite a few soldiers had died at the hands of monsters. But he didnt expect them to die so brutally.

Its not your fault. Were not the ones who are supposed to save them.

Tap, tap.

Kaiyan finally regained his composure after feeling Jeffs pats.

Yes, this is what war is. A war of killing and being killed. Its not a place to mourn the death of comrades.

What are you all doing? Are you planning to let the central army get all the monsters?

A sharp voice that didnt match the battlefield spread to the 7th special unit that was taking a break.

That bastard.

The owner of the voice was Tarien.

The guy was pointing his sword toward the monsters that the central army was facing.

Lord Tarien We dont have enough soldiers. Its better to retreat first, replenish our troops, and then try again tomorrow.

The lieutenant knight cautiously suggested a retreat, as if wondering if Tarien was even thinking before ordering.

What did you say? Cant you see that guys troops over there? That stupid bastard has more achievement than me!

Okay, I understand. Ahem! Everyone, join the central army!

Ugh This is completely messed up.

Just as Kaiyan tried to follow the uncles and soldiers, he noticed that the movements of other units around him had changed.

When Tarien charged forward, the other special unit commanders nearby also directed their soldiers toward the center.

Tsk tsk. Looks like theres competition among the nobles.

Uncle Max shook his head as if he had expected that sight.

Uncle Max You said that once you enter a special unit, its hard to come out alive.

Hehe I only heard about it. But now that Ive experienced it myself, its even worse. Its better to purposely get injured and lie in the hospital.

Max sighed as he joked.

But Kaiyan couldnt just laugh at the joke because it was a reality that happened in special units.

It was because there was a rule among the Allied forces that injured soldiers cant be sent to the battlefield.

Its not a rule for the soldiers, though.

At least, they dont send wounded soldiers to war. At first glance, it seemed like a rule made for the soldiers.

However, if you look closely, you can see how much the nobles have planned behind the scenes.

From the perspective of nobles, commoners are no different from their slaves. But what happens if all those slaves die on the battlefield?

Nobles do not want their wealth to decrease.

Thats why they try to save the wounded soldiers and send them back home so they can work for them.

But what if they get badly hurt? Monsters wont go easy on them just because they want to be injured.

Youre right.

Kaiyan knew it was a joke, but just to be sure, he asked Uncle Max.

He didnt want Uncle Max, who was a close friend, to get hurt.

You You know its a joke, but still! If I get hit by a monster at this age, it wont be an injury, its death. Haha!

Well, thank goodness you didnt get injured. Dont say such depressing stuff again.

Okay, okay!

Anyway, the central unit is really fighting well. They all seem to be elite soldiers.

Unlike the outskirts, the central unit soldiers all wore uniform armor and used standardized weapons.

Moreover, unlike the chaotic fights in the outskirts, they calmly faced the monsters while maintaining their formation.

They must have experienced at least one monster wave before. In other words, they are the elite of the elite.

Elite

All the soldiers in the central unit were professional soldiers.

They were not hastily trained soldiers like me for the monster wave, but regular soldiers from each country.

They came together regardless of their country for the monster wave, having been trained in military training and combat with other humans.

If I could fight with them

What if I were not part of a special unit under Tariens foolish command, but part of the central unit?

Haha, wake up, you fool. I know your swordsmanship is decent, but there, its more important to maintain your formation than have decent swordsmanship.
