Chapter 380 379:He Is Beyond The Boundary Of Monster

The surviving soldier nodded and said"We were at an advantage in the beginning. The Defense Line was unprepared for the attack and we broke through the gates as soon as possible. We were almost winding things up when those two monsters accompanied by 1000 soldiers appeared."

"Monster?"

"No, they are even a step ahead. Even monsters couldn't describe their strength."

Noah pondered for a moment and a certain memory came into his mind.

"The world's youngest Legendary Rank Riya," Noah muttered faintly.

The soldier's body trembled as soon as he heard the name. He was one of the survivors and the memories of the slaughter surfaced back in his mind.

​ Noah was taken by surprise and asked"Is she here?"

The soldier nodded while trying to control his trembling body.

His whole body shivered in fright as he spoke"Though when compared to the other one, she seemed quite normal. She appeared later but the man charged alone and kept on killing everything that appeared in front of him. He didn't have a single scratch on him till the end and the more he fought, the more fierce some he became."

"The woman is a monster in the true sense but this man is beyond the boundary of the monster. He was like an executioner and slaughterer who was sent to the Battlefield to send our lives to the netherland."

"He seemed to be both a mage and a swordsman. His aura is dense and unfathomable, carrying a chilling bloodlust which would freeze anyone who stood close to him. With the sword in one hand, he kept on cutting us and with the other hand, he bombarded us with fearsome and horrifying spells."Just thinking about the scene was enough to give the soldier goosebumps.The people around him hadn't witnessed the true horror of that demon otherwise they couldn't be standing here calmly.

Noah frowned as he tried to remember the people who fit the description but he wasn't able to remember anyone with that quality. For a moment he thought about that man who was married to Riya but he shook the thought as soon as it came.

"He is Alex, the previous fifth Prince."The soldier muttered.

Though Noah's expression didn't change a bit, he was shocked from the inside to the point he could feel his hands trembling.

He closed his eyes for a moment while sinking into deep thoughts carefully. He had read reports about Alex and though he knew about his feats, the soldier's description of Alex seemed to go beyond what he expected.

'It can't be. It's totally unbelievably.'

The sudden appearance of the man seemed to press an unwanted thorn into his heart.

Since Duke Sheldon was dead that means the surviving troops of the Second Defence Line were still roaming somewhere.

"According to the report we have got there were no remaining soldiers of Kinley lingering when he captured the second defence line. They have attacked and taken control of the Western Garrison Quarters from our grasp but they seem to have disappeared after that."

"And last time, they were spotted near the path to the Western territory where they were fleeing and destroying the path."Another soldier spoke and moved forward.

Noah's expression darkened as soon as he heard the news.

"Since when did you know about it?"

"Your Highness, it was reported 10 minutes ago and it was also said that some have passed through that place."

Noah clenched his fist as he felt his plan had gone disarray.

General Zhang, after seeing Noah's expression, stepped forward and said"Your Highness, we should start building the path. If we start now we could build a road within three days."

Noah clicked his tongue and spoke"We can't just make a usable road. We need a strong and sturdy road to support us in case Kinley attacks us with full force and we retreat. I don't want the road to collapse easily."

"First and foremost, since the defence line had been in our grasp, we will turn this place into an uninvadable fortress which Kinley couldn't imagine taking back."

That was the first half of the plan which would benefit them in the long run while the second half would only alleviate their immediate needs.

"General Zhang took the second battalion and observed the damage. Send me a message with a brief report and start building a path. Use every man at your disposal to finish the road and make the sturdy path suitable for us to bring the army."

"Yes Your Highness!" General Zhang bowed his head politely.

It took them an hour to sort out the things on the front. There were too many prisoners and they could become a variable if kept so, under Noah's order, they were executed without any mercy.

It was a cruel act but Noah didn't want to give any chance to these snakes to bear their fangs.

He had taken over the entire Western Front in just one and a half days which is a matter of praise.

His initial goal had been fulfilled which had lifted a heavy burden from their shoulders.

Corpses and blood could be seen everywhere in forts where soldiers were executed brutally.

Noah passed by the place and paused for a bit to observe the scene.

At that time, Noah heard crooked laughter from the place where Kinley's soldiers were being killed.

"We know our end has come but soon it will be your time. You will beg for mercy and kneel for your life."

"Fear would engulf you and you all will die miserably like us without a coffin." The soldiers spoke and spit on the Arkham soldiers which angered them greatly to the point that the soldier stabbed him multiple times.

Noah halted his steps for a moment.

"His Highness, please don't think about that man's words. We all are doing this for the better future of our people. Thousands may curse us today but millions will praise us tomorrow."

Noah nodded and moved towards the meeting room.

After organising everything, Noah looked for routes towards the Western territory.

They didn't have the leisure to waste too much time so Noah made a decisive plan.

He sent a team to start building the roads and fix the craters and cracks while another would trace a path through the rocky forest of Terror Of Ranvier.

And while doing so, he would also deal with the remnants that might be hiding there.

Noah ordered Jack to take a battalion to scout the path and enter the Western Front and see whether that path was feasible.

But soon the plans changed.

"Highness, I have spotted a group of survivors from the Third Defence line moving towards Terror of Ranvier."

Noah heard Jack's voice from the communication channel.

"Are they also fleeing from there?"Noah muttered while rubbing his chin.

​

'It seems my guess was correct. Either some have been hiding there or there is a cleared pathway to the Western territory.'

"It seems so. They were hurrying their way."The messenger replied.

"Estimate their number."

"Approximately 4000!"

"Listen, Jack, you have 24,000 men. I order you to quickly sweep them before they could cross the mountains."

"We were already late when some people passed through the road. We can't let these people go."

"Yes!"

Jack muttered and immediately prepared to follow the command.

....

Dave was the lieutenant of the Third Defense and was in charge of the troops. They were moving as per the order and their goal was to meet Alex inside the forest.

Count Patt was a highly respected commander and had incredible foresight. Dave wished for him to escape and survive, but he had vowed to go down with the defence line.

As they came near the patch of forest, they heard loud sounds from the back and Dave was startled to see waves of enemies charging at them.

"Kill those Kinley bastards!"

"Shit!" Dave cursed.

"Everyone increase your speed and run ahead," Dave ordered.

With their destination in sight, he decided to push ahead. He didn't why but he had a deep trust that Alex might be waiting inside the forest and they just needed to cross it.

But due to the new terrain, their speed slowed down and Arkham soldiers were able to catch them.

"Damn these bastards don't know to stop. It is already the time of dusk but they still wanted us to pursue it even though it would be nightfall after a few moments." One of the Kinley soldiers cursed.

Pauk!

Kauk!

Shrieks echoed as Arkham slayed down the Kinley soldiers quite easily.

Dave lunged forward and exchanged blows with many at once. The bitter taste of defeat and blood still lingered in his mouth that was nauseating him.

Thud!

The soldiers around him started to fall one after another.

A sword pierced the soldiers beside him, he swung his sword instantly at the enemy and covered the soldiers and shouted"Run back."

The soldiers fell back and started to run, while Dave stood at the front covering the tracks for the retreat of the injured.

"Come at me, you bastards," Dave screams and swings his sword.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

Dave was overwhelmed and was pushed back a little which allowed another soldier to pass through him.

The Arkham soldiers closed the gap in the span of a moment and appeared behind the fleeing Kinley soldiers they swung their swords but at that moment a shadow leapt through the bush and landed before them.

And when their eyes met with his, goosebumps ran throughout their body.

All the hair in their body stood up in fright.

Under the darkness of night, a pair of red eyes emanated a chilling killing intent which froze their body following blood splattered and bodies rolled down.
