Chapter 172: Surrounded

“!!”

“Captain! We are surrounded!”

“Tsk! These bastards! They knew that we were here!”

Demyul was gnashing his teeth as he peered in front of him with unblinking eyes. Everything went well before this, however, it went bad right after they arrived in the central part of the village. Bandits suddenly came out and surrounded them.

“C-captain! What are we gonna do?” The soldier asked in a trembling voice.

Demyul looked around. He was in charge of the vanguard group consisting of 40 soldiers. The largest group in this Reclamation Mission. At the moment, he noticed the anxious face of his men.

Countless bandits were gathering around them while showing sinister grins.

.....

“Charge in!” Demyul shouted. But none of his men seemed to hear him. It was clear on their faces that everyone was frightened. It was rather a hopeless situation for them.

“B-but we are surrounded!” Replied the soldier beside him.

HEHEHE!

The bandits laughed at them. “Mothaf*****! We will butcher you lots! Nyahaha!” Said one of the bandits around which frightened the encircled soldiers.

WAHAHAHAHA!!!

The bandits were making fun at the frightened soldiers, who are now like a bunch of chickens surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.

“Now, everyone. Let’s slaughter them!”

“Prepare to die!”

WAAAAAHHHHHH!

Seeing the bandits simultaneously charging towards them, the vanguard soldiers grimaced.

“Damn it! Steel yourselves! Let’s kill them!” Demyul shouted as he stepped in front. But his voice failed to raise everyone’s morale.

Beads of sweats were apparent on everyone’s face. The weapons in their hands trembled slightly while their feet subconsciously took a step back.

“YAAAAHHH! DIE!” Screamed a bandit while raising his gleaming weapon overhead. He was in the act of striking vertically the frozen-in-fear soldier in front of him, however.

Fusssh! Fussssh! Fussssh!

Before the bandits could brandish their weapons, several streaks of reddish aura came flashing towards the bandits.

“Wha-!” Uttered the soldier who is about to receive the vertical attack of the bandit. In front of him, the bandit froze. And on his forehead, a hole could be seen. From it, blood spurted, spraying the face of the dumbfounded soldier. The bandit deliberately fell with wide eyes open, but lifeless.

However, it didn’t finish with just that, more streak of reddish aura came flying towards the bandits. Since the surrounding was still dark, the reddish streaks were so captivating. Those who were hit by it were pierce in an instance.

Gahhhh!

The bandits stopped on their feet as more and more of their men fell victims to it.

“Eh?!”

“What was that?!”

The bandits and soldiers glanced to where the streak of reddish aura came from.

“C-Commander?” One of the soldiers muttered in surprise upon noticing four figures standing on the roof of one of the buildings. They believed it was the young commander and his guards.

“What? Is it really the young commander’s doing?” Another soldier asked in disbelief.

“Everyone don’t falter!” Suddenly, they heard a shout. It was the voice of their young commander!

After Eman shouted it, multiple arrows came flying towards the enemies.

Twang! Twang! Twang!

GAAAAAHHH!!!

Multiple figures emerged on the roofs of the buildings. They were the group of archers led by Morgan.

Woosh! Woosh! Magical attacks came flying next towards bandits. “Demyul, we got your backs!” Shouted Bross, who took the role of commanding the support team.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Scattered explosions happened on the enemy’s side.

“It isn’t about numbers, it’s about strength!” Yelled a woman who was rushing from the shadow together with several figures. She was in charge of the scouts. Right, now, she and her group are rushing to help the vanguards.

“Right!”

“Let’s kill them, boys!” Demyul shouted.

YAAAAAAHHH!!!

The frightened soldiers regained their morale and rushed towards their enemies.

The scattered battle immediately commenced.

Ting! Ting! Twang! Their blades clashed against their enemy’s blade and arrows flew towards their target. Everyone’s weapons were covered by magical energies to enhance them.

Woosh! Woosh!

“Die! Die!” One of the bandits shouted as he was shooting fireballs everywhere, hitting both enemies and allies.

However, a second later, an arrow pierced his skull.

The battle was chaotic. The soldiers were outnumbered. The soldier’s numbers were only half compared to the bandits.

“HORYAAAH!!!”

Woosh!

Demyul waved horizontally the huge sword in his hands along with a loud yell. Three bandits were sliced in half when his attack hit them.

“DIE! ASSHOLE!!!” Demyul grimaced when a bandit came from behind him. But before the bandit could stab him, they heard hasty steps.

A moment later, a shadow leaped passing by on the bandit. Then, the bandit’s head flew away.

“T-Thanks, Dana...” Demyul said his thanks to the sexy woman. She was the acting commander of the scout’s group.

“No, biggie...” she replied then leaped towards her next victim.

Her movement was so agile. Like a mirage of a shadow passing on every enemy and killing them in an instant.

Demyul continued his attack as well. His attack was heavy and powerful. Each attack could kill multiple opponents at the same time.

Each second passed, many men from both sides fell as corpses on the ground.

“Go, help them!”

Eman ordered Kanna and the two others with him to join the fight as their soldiers were outnumbered.

“Yes! Sir!” The two rushed forward. Though, Kanna was skeptical to leave. “H-How about you, Commander?” She asked him.

“Don’t mind me, I will give support from here.”

He said nonchalantly.

“B-but...”

“I can’t fight in melee, but I can shoot my enemies,” he added. Though, he lied about couldn’t fight in melee. “Besides, our soldiers needed more manpower.”

However, even after saying it, she remained on her feet. Must be because of the emperor’s order to her.

“Before the enemy can come close to me, they are already as good as dead,” Eman said confidently.

“I see.”

After saying it, she leaped high into the air then followed the two soldiers who came ahead of her.

Two swords materialized in her hands. Soon, he saw her darting like a ninja on the battlefield. Killing two bandits blocking her path.

“Oh, not bad...” Eman muttered. Then he raised his hand and caught something on it.

“Eh?!”

A surprised utterance came out of a person’s mouth. He was supposed to sneak attack but unbelievably, the enemy noticed him? How come? He was invisible?!

Without a warning, an elbow attack burst out his mouth and sent him flying back.

“The f*** just happened?!” Another voice resounded nearby. Though, no one was around him.

“It’s useless to hide against me,” Eman said in a cold voice. His perception was telling him that he was surrounded. Looks like their main goal was to kill him. He wasn’t sure why they came directly at him. But it was both a good and bad choice.

“He is the commander, kill him!”

“Such a kiddo! Hehe!”

.....

He heard the voices saying it.

They had no idea how he noticed the attack from one of them, but this kiddo commander is now surrounded by almost 20 invisible elite bandits.
