Chapter 283: Zestruction Vs. Battle Maidens



The lonely wind whooshed through the empty streets of a village.

It looked abandoned, and it felt like time had stood still for years.

At that moment, one of the doors opened, and the braided-haired young woman stepped out, carrying a rusty bucket, and headed to the well in the center of the village.

It was late at the night, and fog was starting to roll in.

As she started to draw water, she looked around the empty village that was just full of life only a day ago. The silence was deafening.

She felt slightly nervous about the fate of her friends, and prayed for their safety.

As she finished drawing the water, she started carrying it back to the building, and looked at the symbol on the door.

A symbol of Zestruction.

The symbol gave her warmth, and safety.

'With Sir Zephyr, there's no way they would lose.' She thought to herself, stepped inside the building, closed the door behind, and took her seat behind the desk.

She was assigned the task of taking care of the village.

It wasn't what she wanted, as she also wanted to be part of the army, but someone had to do it, and while it was a boring and lonely job, it was important nonetheless.

As she placed the rusty bucket next to the desk, she started going through the letters, and separated them into several piles-the important war business went directly to Zephyr, and the private letters she would put in a separate place to be dealt with later.

The door suddenly opened.

She jolted in surprise, and quickly picked up her weapon. "Who goes there?!"

As she looked over to the door, she saw a figure dressed in all black standing in the doorway, holding a torch.

"This is where Zestruction camps, is it not?" The figure asked.

"Who're you?" she asked with a gulp. 'I might be Grandeur-ranked, but I can't fight against an attacking force! Couldn't they have left behind a single group of guards at least?!'

"Name's Adam." Adam removed his hood, and fixed his hair. "I thought Zestruction was supposed to camp here."

"Y-you're part of Zestruction?" She asked to make sure.

"A part of the faction, yes." Adam entered the building, and closed the door, then took a seat by the desk.

"Well, you're late!" She said, and sat back down. "They're already en route to war. It'll happen at dawn."

"Oh..." Adam sighed. "What way?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"To the north," she said.

"Against who?"

The Originals were also part of the kingdom, and they had to do their duty to decide the future. Thus, in this case, they were fodder for the war.

Same with the Battle Maidens army.

They also had Originals on the front lines, but instead of the fear-struck men, they had

women, and they looked determined.

It was because Athena managed to convince them to join her side. They all had now a purpose

in the war other than being just fodder.

Thus, in terms of morale, Battle Maidens had enormous advantage!

Zephyr took a horn from his belt, and blew loudly into it. The sound traversed across the

mountains and the valley.

"Onwards to battle!"

With a shout, the Originals started running down the hill, also screaming, but out of fear.

Athena swung her sword, pointing it at the approaching army, and the army of women also started running with a powerful war cry.

After both sides ran for about thirty seconds, the frontlines smashed into each other, and the blood started spewing like a fountain.

The steel clashed loudly, against other steel-clad weapons, and sometimes into a fleshy body. From the first second of the fight, it was already extremely bloody.

However, the mercenaries of both sides didn't make a single move. They were waiting for the battlefield to clear up before they could make their move.

If they attacked from the very start, their attacks could kill their own Originals.

In the midst of the war, a short-haired Original from Zestruction cut through his own kind without a shred of pity, and he looked like someone with prior fighting experience.

The ones without any fighting experience were powerless in front of him. However, the short-haired man then tripped on one of the corpses, and got immediately

skewered through the heart by a spear that suddenly appeared.

Within the first minute of the war, both sides have already lost hundreds of soldiers.

"Do the signal." Athena said and steeled her expression. "Retreat signal." Desire nodded her head, and put her lips against the horn before blowing into it. The sound

echoed across the battlefield.

Their soldiers suddenly started retreating back to the surprise of Zestruction's soldiers!

Athena immediately kicked her horse into a gallop, and following her, Battle Maiden's mercenaries rode their horses, and charged through the Zestruction army.

"They've made their move!" Taurus called out.

"Alright, head out." Zephyr kicked his horse into a gallop, and headed to the battlefield.
