Bam!


    The ck fire split the enemy line into two, making their presence known to the magical beasts.


    "Fire!" Kai ordered the ten people that had spread around the area to shoot. If he and Michelle were the only ones luring them, they might only get a few hundred at best. With the addition of the ten people spread around the area, they would be able to bring a much bigger number of monsters with them.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Hold your position. If we retreat too early, half of them won''t follow us," Kai instructed as he observed the sea creatures'' movements.


    Meanwhile, in the middle field, themander was shouting to his soldiers. "That''s not our reinforcement. Maintain your position."


    He didn''t want the others to get worked up and end up dying because they thought Kai''s team was a reinforcement.


    Seeing that, Kai nodded and focused on the monsters.


    500…


    600…


    700…


    The numbering to him kept increasing while the front was only twenty meters away, reaching his position in five seconds.


    "Run back to our position as fast as possible," hemanded out loud.


    The soldiers pulled back their guns and began to run as fast as they could.


    A few of them had trouble keeping up with their speed. Two of them were almost grasped by the magical beasts. It was inevitable that they felt too tired, considering how they also didn''t get any rest earlier. Kai and Michelle exchanged looks before going to help them.


    "The moment is upon us, this is the one and only easy chance of victory. Even if your feet give up and your bones break, we only need to run a hundred meters more!" Kai made a rallying call, hoping to inspire the others.


    Hearing that, they gritted their teeth and forced their feet to run. Even after the gruesome and tiring battle they had endured today, they held it to the very end, until finally, they arrived at their base.


    The fighters had readied their weapons to brace for the impact while the gunners started aiming toward the magical beasts to provide cover fire.


    "Aim carefully! Make sure you don''t hit ourrades!" themander ordered. "Fire!"


    Kai took a glimpse of the timer in his watch to see how long they needed to hold.


    01:30


    Kai nced at the red marks on the ground as he instructed. "We''re spreading out. Move closer to the closest red marks on the ground."


    The ten soldiers heard hismand, slowly moving to the center. The gunners started providing the cover fire.


    They were five meters away from the formation.


    They leaped into the air, passing by the other soldiers beforending right behind the formation. On the other hand, the full sh between the fighters and the magical beasts just started.


    "I''m sorry if I pushed all of you to your limits. You can rest now," Kai apologized after looking at them, who seemed as though they had no strength left to even stand.


    Michelle came to him. "Shall we?"


    00:40


    Upon checking the time once more, Kai nodded and moved to the front line with Michelle.


    "There''s no need to force yourselves forward! Just hold your position and maintain formation! Everything will be decided in less than a minute!" themander shouted.


    "Yes, Ma''am!" The soldiers roared as they were given another surge of morale and pushed the magical beasts back.


    "As expected from amander." Michelle smiled.


    "If amander in the field can''t even do that, then I worry about the quality of the army here," Kai said while observing the entire battlefield with his ears. They could destroy the enemy while maintaining little loss on their side due to Kai.


    "Michelle, go to the left. They won''t hold out," Kai instructed. "Tell Sister to get ready."


    Compared to themander, Kai''s exceptional hearing was able to observe the entire arena clearly. Due to this, he couldmand Michelle, Ayaka, and Tasha to reinforce the army as the situation demanded. And these reinforcements were what allowed the rest to finish their battle quickly.


    Naturally, as a result of sending away his teammates, his own position would struggle as hard as the others. However, Kai was using his full Zodiac ability to enhance his power and instinct to trounce the magical beasts one by one. Their hard shells were unable to protect them from his strength.


    5…


    4…


    3…


    "Ready for the explosions!"


    Upon hearing the warning, the gunners stopped shooting and closed their ears while the fighters gritted their teeth to endure the loud sound that was about toe from the explosion.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    There were three lines with an interval of twenty meters. Each line stretched from the furthest on each side, making sure all the magical beasts would be engulfed by the explosion.


    Kai closed one of his eyes, enduring the loud sound of the explosions while observing the battlefield. He needed to be the first to see whether his n seeded or not.


    A few secondster, his answer came in the form of a shout.


    "We did it! We killed seven hundred magical beasts with those explosions alone!"


    Hearing that, themander immediately ordered out loud. "There are only two hundred left. Use all of your strength and end this battle!"


    "Ooh!" Seeing the number became equal, they roared and started killing the remaining two hundred quickly.


    On the other hand, themander came to Kai. "Your n has seeded. We have gotten rid of almost a third of the middle army''s enemies without sustaining a loss."


    "But they still have at least two thousand left." Kai sighed. "And we can''t use this strategy anymore, she''s used all her magic power."


    "This is fine. We can conclude the battle with teleportation magic. Maybe take another thousand and our army will be able to handle the rest." Themander nodded.


    "Yeah. That''s the n." Kai agreed.


    "Still, the biggest contributors to this battle are you and your group." She suddenly saluted. "On behalf of the soldiers, I would like to thank you and your group foring to our aid."


    Kai smiled and nodded. "Anyway, the soldiers are pretty exhausted. We should give them a little break first. If not, I''m afraid they''ll be owned by the magical beasts."


    "Indeed. I''ll return to my soldiers then." Themander nodded and left.


    After that, Kai walked toward Ayaka and asked. "How much magic power do you have left?"


    "Not much. Only around ten percent, I guess. Sorry, it seems I won''t be able to join the other fight."


    "Don''t say that. You''ve killed more than eight hundred magical beasts in this fight alone." Kai shook his head. "Go back to the base and rest there. We''ll pick you up in a few hours."


    "Okay." Ayaka nodded her head.


    He nodded before turning his head to Tasha. "Sister, are you ready? We''re going to trample down the enemy with the teleportation magic."


    Michelle suddenly appeared and said, "Right, right. There will be a rain of magical beastster. It''s such a shame we can''t film them. It would be such a great video."


    "That aside, Michelle, there''s another thing I want you to do," Kai said with a serious expression.


    Seeing Kai''s expression, she dropped her carefree attitude and listened to him.


    …


    After another fifteen minutes, the soldiers had killed all the magical beasts and rested for ten minutes.


    Themander met Kai again and told him to move out together.


    They marched toward the middle battlefield. Although they had reduced the enemy''s number by almost a thousand, it didn''t change the fact they were still outnumbered by one to seven.


    All of them were observing the intense fight. They forgot that if they didn''t have reinforcements, they would''ve also had such an intense fight.


    On the other hand, Kai was thinking of a n. Because the number thinned up a bit, he could see the battlefield more clearly this time.


    "One…"


    "Two…"


    "Three…"


    "Kai, have you found it?" Michelle asked.


    This piqued the interest of themander. Hence she also came to him, listening to what he wanted to say.


    "Yes. We''ll gain a huge advantage in three steps." Kai said.


    "!!!" All the soldiers, his teammates, and even themander were surprised. They knew Kai was the one who handled their battle strategy this whole time, so hearing this made them a bit pumped up.


    "Commander, may I provide the n?" Kai said.


    "You have my permission. Besides, I doubt anyone would object after seeing your performance on our battlefield earlier," themander said.


    "Thank you." He looked at all of them and started exining his n.


    A few minutester, the soldiers had gone to their positions while themander roared, "Start!"


    Following that roar, Michelle appeared on the right side of the battlefield. "Shadow sh!"


    The dark fire split the battlefield into two again. There were around four hundred magical beasts in front and more than a thousand five hundred on the rear.


    After splitting the battlefield, Michelle ced her hand on the ground, making a ck magic circle. "Shadow Maniption, Wall!"


    A ten-meter-tall ck wall appeared on the right side of the battlefield, confusing the magical beasts.


    As soon as she saw the wall, Tasha appeared a hundred meters on Michelle''s right and teleported the enemy up high. This made a hole that the fighters immediately filled in, creating a gap that split the magical beasts into three groups.


    Seeing this, the gunners raised the guns and aimed carefully before themander shouted, "Fire!"
