Chapter 290 The Mini-Kingdom (4)
?
One after another, the alien race warriors sacrificed themselves to attack the barrier. None of them dared to hesitate making a move although they knew the end result.
This situation had definitely alarmed the higher ups of the mini-kingdom. They had never expected that these creatures would definitely try launching several attacks, although they knew that they wouldn't succeed in destroying the barrier.
The current king was also flabbergasted. He had never expected that these alien creatures would be cruel to themselves like that. After all, in a matter of minutes, there were already several mountains of bodies that were scattered outside the barrier.
Upon noticing that these bodies were causing them inconvenience, the higher-ups of the alien race made a decision. With a single wave of their sleeves, they managed to emit a strange energy that decomposed the bodies of all those that were on the ground.
Although it was true that none of them had already died at that time, but they had already lost their combat abilities. And as such, they were practically useless for the mission that they were supposed to carry out.
Even though they saw that their comrades were being treated in such a manner, these warriors who were charging forward didn't hesitate at all. They continued charging forward as if they had not seen anything happening.
In fact, they thought that this was a privilege that they could die by the hands of their superiors. And as a such, they charged towards the barrier with even more vigor.
The current king was worried at that moment. Unlike his subjects who thought that the barrier would always prevent these creatures from getting in, he knew that these alien race warriors were continuously consuming the energy that was supporting the barrier.
He was getting anxious on what he was supposed to do next. If possible, he really would have sacrificed his life, just like his ancestor did, to seal the kingdom away again.
But, there was a limitation on the relic that was used. It couldn't be used twice, unless there was a cool down period of five decades.
Knowing that the barrier was going to be broken sooner than he had expected, the current king began making preparations on what they were going to do next.
He ordered all the soldiers to get ready for war. Although he himself wasn't sure at what period the barrier was going to break, he had to make enough preparations as early as possible.
Although the soldiers were confused about why the king had ordered them to prepare for a fight, they still obeyed.
Though, none of them was that much serious about the alien creatures that were charging at them. At the end of it all, they were all being blocked by the barrier.
Just like that, 3 months went by. And during the first day of the fourth month, ever since the alien creatures had been attacking the barrier relentlessly, a crack appeared on the barrier.
This was something that had been noticed by both sides of the barrier. While one side was celebrating, the other side was definitely panicking.
Even though the residents of the mini-kingdom were praying so hard so that the barrier wouldn't break, the alien warriors on the other hand attacked even more ferociously.
Since it was a situation where a single warrior only needed to attack once, each and every warrior who was attacking the barrier was at his full strength.
The higher-ups had already brought all those who had been scattered around the world. Billions of them had already perished but there were several reinforcements that were coming to the planet from their home planet.
The superiors of the alien race who were already getting impatient had their eyes glinting with excitement. After a long period of waiting, they had finally managed to start breaching the barrier.
Without even caring anymore, since they wanted to speed up the process of the barrier being broken, they began sending their elite warriors. Not only would these warriors be able to deal a great deal of damage on the barrier, but, they would also ensure that the barrier broke faster.
Although this was going to be a loss for them, there were still other millions of elite warriors that were present back at their home planet. And as long as they succeeded in their plans, they would be able to nurture even more elite warriors.
Surprisingly, just like the normal warriors of the alien race, as long as these elite warriors were ordered to attack the barrier, although they knew that they were going to perish, they too joined the fray.
In just a matter of minutes, the barrier was fully enveloped by cracks. And then, with a loud bang, the barrier broke into several fragments that scattered in the air before vanishing.
This time, the superiors of the alien race didn't wait for the elite warriors to charge forward and destroy the life-forms that were present on the planet. Instead, they had decided to take action by themselves.
They had already been getting impatient after waiting for several months now. Since they themselves could easily destroy these humans as well as other life-forms present faster, they were going to do it themselves.
The first superior of the alien race stepped forward. He wasn't the top most superior, but he was definitely far stronger than any elite warrior.
When he got close to the kingdom, he attacked by throwing his spear. The power behind that spear was tremendous, in that, it gave an illusion that it could destroy the world.
The ones at the receiving end of the attack were startled. They had never expected to be attacked by those who were supposedly the strongest of the alien race.
Even so, one of the generals of the kingdom took a step forward. Although he was currently feeling uneasy about the attack that was heading his way, he still collected his courage and decided to face the attack.
In his heart, he was currently thinking about all those people that he was supposed to protect. He wasn't going to let his wife and children to perish under the hands of the alien race.
With great determination in his heart, he unleashed an attack with his great sword. The air was sliced by the sword momentum.
Clang! Crack!
The two weapons collided in the air causing a massive shockwave to erupt. And in the next moment, something unimaginable happened.
The spear that had been charging ferociously towards the kingdom suddenly cracked. In the next moment, it crumbled as if it was a piece of dry clay that had been smashed on a stone.
But that was not all. The airwave that had been created by the swinging of the great sword didn't stop at all. It charged towards the large group of alien warriors that were still charging towards the kingdom despite knowing that an attack was going to land on it.
As if they were made of sand, anyone who was within the range of the airwave, was immediately crushed into pieces. A huge space was immediately created amongst the charging wave of the alien warriors.
After that attack, both sides remained silent. None of them could actually believe such a result. Who would have thought that the people who were hiding behind that barrier were very strong.
As for the generals as well as those who were behind him, they looked at the general in both surprise and excitement. Although they had never thought that the general was this strong, they were still happy that he was able to easily handle the alien creatures.
The ones who were the most excited were definitely those who were stronger than that particular general. In their minds, they were thinking that, if their fellow was that strong, then how strong were they?
But just as they were about to charge forward so that they could test their strengths, the current king spoke. "It is not that you guys are stronger! It is just that they are weaker than us! Charge forward! Destroy them who are aiming to destroy our homeland!"
The momentum within the army was immediately raised to the highest level. Although such a statement would have definitely made some of the soldiers to underestimate their opponents, that would have only applied to other soldiers.
These soldiers had never been in a battlefield before. And as a result, what they lacked the most was courage. Knowing that their opponents were way weaker than them, they all charged forward with the aim to destroy.
Once a bullied person got a person who was way weaker than him, he will definitely do everything he could to vent out.
During the past 3 months, all of them had been afraid that the barrier would be broken and they would have to face some of the strongest opponents they ever had in their lives.
But now that they had known that their opponents were weak, they were planning to vent out their anger on them.
Although they were at a disadvantage numerically, when it came to personal strength, it didn't matter how many enemies they faced at once. Each and every soldier attacked and killed an opponent with each swing of their weapon.
The superiors of the alien race had never expected something like this. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand how these people were way stronger than those that have been living outside the barrier.
What they didn't know was that, inside the barrier, those who were living inside were having a hard time as compared to those outside due to the harsh conditions inside there.
Of course, the changes had never happened only once. Instead, during the course of the first two centuries, there had been adaptation of all the humans and other life-forms that were present inside the barrier.
For that reason, these soldiers had all developed a very strong physique. So, they were way stronger than any of the soldiers that were present in the previous kingdoms and empires.
Even though the superiors of the alien race interfered, none of them managed to change anything. They were utterly defeated.
In the end, they were forced to abandon the plan that they had been waiting to carry out. They were forced to flee in order to save themselves.
But, although they had managed to escape, the losses that they had suffered were uncountable. It wasn't just the elite warriors, but even some of the superiors had been killed off.
What's more, the humans who were present in the barrier were not willing to give up. They had decided to attack the home planet of the alien race after they had made enough preparations.
