The Magician of Sound

Chapter 470 - Kai's Strategy

As they were talking about various things, they had finally entered Belarus.

Many ruined cities had entered his visions, making him wonder what kind of sight the complete city before it was ruined.

The journey went peacefully, but one hour later, when they almost reached the border, Kai suddenly frowned and looked at Rena with a serious expression. "It seems the base is under attack."

"What do you mean? The base is not far from here and I don't think it's been attacked yet."

"I should word it better. The border is under a skirmish." Kai shook his head and asked, "Do you think you can have the helicopter reach that place?"

Rena nodded and informed the pilot to get closer as soon as possible.

They then began to fly at high speed, heading toward the battlefield. Not long after, the group had a visual of the battlefield. As Kai expected, it was awful.

There were around ten thousand magical beasts, while they only had five thousand at the moment. The magical beasts were pushing through the soldiers.

"Oi, oi. Seriously? Our soldiers are more capable than this." Rena frowned, wondering why they couldn't fight back even though the enemies were only twice their number.

"There is a lack of chain of command," Kai answered while observing the situation. "It seems the soldiers have been spread out, so they can't handle it very well because they keep clashing with others. For now, let's have you become the spotlight and return to the chain of command. What do you think?"

"Sure." Rena nodded. "What do you need me to do?"

"Of course. Jump!" Kai smiled as if he didn't say anything weird just now.

"What?!" Rena widened her eyes and looked below them. "We are still five hundred meters above the ground, you know."

Kai only waved his hand, asked the pilot to halt the movement, and jumped off the helicopter.

Rena widened her eyes because she wondered if Kai could fly with his Sound Magic, but the person kept flying like nobody else and almost reached the ground.

"Is he strong enough to handle the impact?"

"No, no." Sofia shook her head helplessly and leaped off the helicopter. "Let's go."

"Wait, you too?" Rena dropped her jaw and tried to pull her back, but the latter was already out of reach, so she took another glimpse of Kai, finding a huge magic circle he created on the ground where he would land.

Before he hit the ground, the magic circle seemed to be slowing down his fall before completely stopping it. He then stepped outside the magic circle and landed safely on the ground.

"Hah, to think the magic he used to play with the kids will be utilized this way…" Roselyn sighed and smiled at Rena. "Ma'am, I think we should go too."

Without waiting for Rena to answer, Roselyn jumped off the helicopter since she needed to "supervise" Kai.

Rena didn't know what to say anymore. She could only shake her head helplessly and went off the helicopter while saying, "It must be nice to be young."

Rena felt the resistance and wind blowing to the sky that slowed down her fall before slightly pushing her upward. She used that force to go slightly forward to leave the magic circle and land on the ground safely.

She looked at Kai with a weird expression before signaling the helicopter to return. After getting that signal, the helicopter then took off, leaving the four on the battlefield.

"Unlike the US Base soldiers, the soldiers here won't particularly like me taking charge. And it's not like they know or idolize Roselyn or Sofia. Hence, it's best for you to go there in a slightly elevated area for people to see and command them."

"What to command? I feel like there is a need to reinforce the middle since they are the weakest right now." Rena asked with her view, wondering what Kai would do in this situation.

"If you take a closer look, the right side of the army is the strongest to the point they begin to pummel the magical beasts in their way. That's why they need to make their way to the center before returning to their position."

"Ho?" Rena thought Kai would be the one to relieve them, but it seemed he didn't want to make an appearance… Or at least that was what she thought. And Kai broke it to her with his next words. "I, Sofia, and Roselyn will charge at the enemy after that, causing a ruckus as big as possible. At that moment, have the entire army launch a counterattack."

"I see. So you want to use the right side to recover the entire army before making a counterattack… No wonder. If you are coming here alone to relieve them, we will need to be on the defensive." Rena admitted her loss to the kid before her.

He was indeed qualified to be a General at such a young age.

She cracked her fingers, getting ready to fight. "Alright. You can count on me."

Kai nodded and Rena disappeared, heading to the battlefield, specifically to the top of the building next to the battlefield.

"All soldiers. Listen!" Rena shouted as loud as possible.

Of course, her shout didn't reach everyone's ears. Only a portion behind them could hear her voice, but those people turned around and shouted her name after getting shocked for a few seconds.

"It's our S Rank Magician."

"Rena Alberona is here."

"Uoh!"

Their shouts kept echoing to the point all the soldiers noticed her and turned around to see Rena's figure.

She raised her hand and pointed at the right side. "I will be your commanding officer right now. We don't have time to talk, so let's end this mess first. Right side, go to the middle and make a swift sweep before returning to your position."

The people on the right side blinked their eyes a few times before acknowledging her order. They then hurriedly changed their direction and hit the middle.

With the pressure lifted from their shoulders, the center army quickly pushed the magical beasts back and thanked the right side for helping them.

After making sure everything was fine, the right side returned to their position.

Before she made another comment, Kai, Sofia, and Roselyn made their appearances on the battlefield. They came from the left side.

It started with Sofia summoning a large ice block like a meteor, dropping them right on the magical beasts.

They were stunned because they never saw the magic that big. On top of the ice, Sofia stood and looked down at them. "I am Sofia Campbell, here to assist together with US Base's Famous General, Kai Carter. There is only one thing we need to do! Follow us!"

Sofia obviously gathered their attention since it wasn't that hard after Rena reorganized the army.

"Kai Carter?"

"That Kai Carter?"

Many began to question them, but since they were in the military, they obviously knew the rising star that became the center of the world, Kai Carter. And she said that person was in this place?

Before they commented anything, they suddenly heard a ruckus and saw a few magical beasts flying in the air.

The commotion moved so fast as if there was no one stopping them. Some of them managed to see Kai and another person between the magical beasts and began to shout, saying it was true and following Kai to help.

"Oh!"

Kai then manipulated them to eliminate all the magical beasts on the left side while sending that excitement to the center or even the further right.

The soldiers tried to follow Kai and Roselyn and realized how different they were from them. Although Kai was good, Roselyn managed to keep up with him while Sofia kept helping them from above.

The formation soon turned into an "L" shape and everyone could see that they were ready to swipe the entire battlefield.

Rena just watched everything resolved in the back, trying to figure out how Kai thought about something like this. It was not a conventional method in the military since his strategy relied heavily on two things. The army morale and his strength.

He used his strength to ensure everything and increased the army morale, resulting in them giving a hundred percent, if not one hundred twenty percent to fight together with him. This allowed him to overturn the situation.

'So, this is Kai Carter…' Rena contemplated for a moment before realizing the most important factor in this type of strategy. 'His ears… no way… His ears are capable of listening to all kinds of sounds on this battlefield. And he is utilizing his ears to listen to the soldiers' conditions, their morale, the enemy's movement, and how the battlefield moves.

'Only after understanding everything, he instantly adjusts his plan and creates a new one. This…' Rena sucked a cold breath. 'Is he really a human?'

Kai wasn't aware of her thoughts and continued with the battle, sweeping everything clean. After getting their enemies killed, the central area moved forward and helped Kai kill the remaining magical beasts.

They never thought it was this easy to fight the magical beasts. They couldn't help but cheer for Kai even though he was a commander from another base. This just showed his competence.

But only Rena and a few other soldiers actually realized Kai, Rosely, and Sofia had left the battlefield as soon as they finished their battle. Kai had already brought a few supplies with them anyway, so they could easily disappear from the battlefield.

Rena looked at them running to the northeast with Kai waving his hand, telling her it was her turn to rearrange the soldiers.

She could only sigh in defeat while shouting. "Alright. All of you, listen to me."
