Chapter 175: War (17)



"It is time to learn that," Jori said when the enemies were fifty meters away, and they pointed their hands toward the group and the royal guards.

The Golems began to fire earth bullets toward them. The royal guards had no difficulties blocking them with their shields. Still, since Jori's group didn't have that kind of defensive gear, they had to block the attacks with their weapons while the others assumed their positions.

The golems stopped moving and focused only on attacking; thanks to that, the sound of stone hitting iron shields echoed in the area like Rain until the entire formation was completed. Aside from Jori's group, the others had split themselves into five lines of one hundred and began to march toward the enemies.

"Well, this is quite fun," Rain thought while he was blocking the earth bullets with his forearms guard.

It felt like a rhythm game; aside from the noise, it was pretty relaxing. In any case, while Rain was like that, Liss and Asche were itching to do something, but they couldn't since their real goal was to target the golem's masters. They couldn't waste energy and resources until they found an opening in the golems formation. Still, the golems began to back down when the humans began to get close.

"Increase your pace and kill them all!" One of the guards shouted.

Everyone followed that lead, and Rain kept an eye on the back of the enemies… unfortunately, he couldn't see that well because the golems were too large. Still, while it was a bit too soon for that, he solved the problems by making the golems trip while they were walking backward, thanks to some bumps in the ground.

A line of five of them fell and showed a hole in their formation… The third battalion was marching toward them as well.

"You couldn't be more sneaky than that, even if you tried," Rain thought.

The allies didn't notice that since the golems were ten meters away from them. The confrontation was about to start… the backline could see what was going on, but it couldn't make them retreat… in the end, Rain did the only thing he could have done. He made all the golems trip…

Even Rain didn't have enough control to make all of them fall, and making enough bumps on the ground would consume a lot of mana, so Rain just made the last line of monsters fall, and the others tripped when they kept going… the monsters and their masters didn't have time to do a thing.

Thanks to that, the human soldiers saw the third battalion approaching… They still didn't stop moving since it was an excellent chance to get rid of the golems, but at least they wouldn't be caught off guard.

The golems didn't have time to get up, but they still pointed their hands at the humans and fired countless earth bullets. The royal guards blocked them with their shields and destroyed the heads of the enemies with their spears and soon crossed that first line of defense.

Jori's group did the same with their weapons, aside from Rain. He didn't feel like killing one at a time, so he kicked one of the golems and made it smash the others… that hurt his leg quite a bit, but at least five of them died instantly.

The golem masters soon created another wave of monsters, and while everyone wondered how many times they could do that, Rain checked their aura and confirmed that their presences thinned out by about half… if they used the same amount of mana before…

"They can only summon three monsters each! Don't fear them!" Rain shouted.

No one could tell how Rain was so certain, but at least that gave some hope to the soldiers. Moreover, Rain got close enough to snipe some of the golem masters with earth bullets. Asche and Liss did the same… a quick sequence of arrows and Fireballs reached the enemies after flying in a downward arc, and the enemies began to fall like dominoes.

While the golem masters were falling, the third battalion passed by the sides of their formation, and they approached quite fast… considering what the enemies had done until now, it was quite surprising that they weren't trying to keep their distance.

As if things weren't weird enough, out of nowhere, those guys suddenly took out their cloaks and revealed the appearance of quite buffed figures. All of them had silver hair, and it was pretty long; their silver hair began to shine, and in the next moment, some glowing weapons started to appear in their hands. Swords, spears, axes, even shields… that was really unexpected.

"Are they from an unknown tribe?" Jori asked, visibly surprised.

Everyone around also looked surprised… no one heard of such a tribe before. Rain assumed that it was a tribe that worked for one of the generals who worked on the other side of their country. It was the only explanation.

Aside from that, Rain didn't let himself be surprised by the appearance of those people and their weapons… his eyesight was better than most, and thanks to that, he quickly confirmed what it was: the shining thing… It was mercury, being enhanced by mana to change its shape and become more durable and or sharp.

"They can even do that, huh?" Rain thought. "Attacking from a distance with that would be the same as throwing a bunch of mana, and they can only produce or carry so much of that, so they developed a melee combat to deal with that."
