Chapter 407 This Is Just Starting
-----
Blake and his friends were in the frontlines, due to Blake's commands, they had yet to fight themselves, and were not joining in the phase 1 of the fight for obvious motives, they needed to save their strength, mana, ki, and stamina for phase 2, where things would finally get real.
Nonetheless, it wasn't as if Blake wasn't helping in other ways, as he had used his Commanding Skill and his Cooking Skill magisterially, combining both buffs by feeding most of the people here with his cooking and also commanding them with Lukas help. Although they would never listen to a kid, if he was near Lukas, someone that was now promoted as a Knight Commander, they would listen.
Blake quickly realized how valuable it was to have a friendship with Lukas, and how saving his life back then allowed him to do things such as these without any issue, as Lukas trusted him more than almost anybody else. He was perhaps one of the few people that wasn't his childhood friend or family that trusted his intelligence and strength the most. If it wasn't thanks to Lukas (and Ellergest), he would had never gotten into the strategy meeting to begin with.
"Fire! Don't stop!" Blake roared. An invisible aura of power suddenly boosted everybody's stats, as the people strangely felt stronger and faster, and even their accuracy raised!
Countless arrows were fired from the walls, most of the arrow users didn't had any Skill for arrow usage, but they simply imbued their arrows with Mana and made the arrows explode when landing somewhere, even if it wasn't a target but the ground.
Countless magical explosions happened one after the other, as Blake's sharp eyes looked into the distance. Without realizing, the people felt more confident and stronger than before below his command. They felt as if someone of incredible wisdom and power was behind them, watching their every move and commanding them magisterially.
And of course, they were, if only they could know that Blake's true identity was that of a warlord of the outer universe, a Vampire tyrant who had participated in thousands of battles and had incredible military knowledge and held countless tactics below his sleeve.
Most of the tactics being used here were all his ideas, which he decided to let others reinterpret into their own ideas by only giving small hints and suggestions. This way it wouldn't seem as suspicious he had such amount of knowledge, while still helping and even manipulating others.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Another set of explosions reached the forests, as the trees were reduced to ashes alongside dozens after dozens of Undead. However, bigger Undead emerged from behind the others that were simply used as bait so people would weaken their Mana and Energy. Skeletons wearing black armor, and zombies covered on spikes quickly made their way forward.
The attacks from allies could easily get through the holy barrier, and people could walk in and outside of it with ease, as it only stopped Undead and Demons from getting inside. Erdrich was a half demon, but due to his human side, he was able to be inside the barrier. However, it was well known that if he unleashed his demon side, he might get hurt or expulsed by the barrier into the outside.
"Are you sure we shouldn't fight?! The Necromancer sent a Wyvern here! The monster's attacking the barrier constantly, Blake!" Said Chris. He was one of the most stubborn friends of Blake. A kid who would grow one day to become an incredible man, but that had yet to learn a lot about patience.
"RROOAARR!"
Although he wasn't wrong. The wyvern was furiously attacking the barrier, which put a lot of pressure into the priests. However, Blake remained calm and composed, looking into the distance.
"Patience is a virtue, Chris." He said with while narrowing his eyes as he glanced at the Wyvern. "Our preparations are already complete."
"Preparations?" Asked Chris.
"Of course, the ballista and catapults are not for the small fry…" Said Blake with a smile.
"FIRE!" Blake roared immediately after. The soldiers and adventurers aiming at the Wyvern immediately fired their attacks.
"ROOOARRR!"
The Wyvern didn't even realized what was coming towards it, as five bottles filled with holy water wrapped around rope suddenly impacted its face. Countless pieces of glass pierced its eyes and mouth, while the holy light began to burn its face and immediately the rest of the body. The aura of miasma and death the monster had suddenly reseeded, growing smaller and weaker.
"GRAARRR…! GRAAHH…?!"
The Death Wyvern immediately noticed these changes, it suddenly became harder to flap its wings, and the burning holy water made several parts of its body turn into ashes immediately. However, as it tried to recover its body using its fast regeneration, several arrows of enormous size reached its body. Now too slow to evade them, the enormous ballista arrows of over five meters of height and with almost a meter big blades easily pierced through its entire body, three at the same time!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GRAAARRRRGH!"
These ballista arrows were not normal either, they were covered in both Antidote and Holy Water, making them extremely deadly for the interior of the wyvern, completely covered with poison and miasma! The Wyvern's Spirit Orb was also cracked and almost shattered, making the beast lose most of its power.
Without being able to fly anymore, the monster fell from the skies, sliding through the exterior of the holy barrier and beginning to burn with holy fire, until it fell into the floor right in front of the village, covered in flames and completely dead. Blake noticed its soul flying away, it was made of several souls stick together. He quickly devoured it without thinking it twice, stopping the Necromancer from being able to rise another Wyvern using it.
BAAAM!
The enormous body of the wyvern fell, as the people saw in shock what they had done. With collective effort, they were able to defeat a powerful D Rank monster using a catapult and a three ballista arrows!
"W-We did it…?!"
"The wyvern's dead!"
"Amazing…!"
As the people cheered, Lukas, Ellergest, and Musk immediately called everyone to go back to their positions. This war had yet to be over after all.
