The Demon Lord System
Chapter 200: Journey II
This trip being two groups, Ling Chen decided to immediately part ways, he would go east with Levi whereas Kurumi, Arthur and Xan Zhang would go west.
ㅤ
Ling Chen chose Levi for two reasons, first because Levi had many eyes from crows that were within a 10 km radius of him. Second, because he did not want his ability to be distracted by quarreling with Arthur, for some reason they were like cats and mice.
ㅤ
Four thousand soldiers were split into one thousand to three thousand, with Ling Chen bringing a thousand troops while Kurumi got three thousand troops, of course that did not make Kurumi wonder, because he knew Ling Chen had a lot of skeleton warriors.
ㅤ
Finally three thousand soldiers along with Kurumi's group left, leaving behind a thousand troops commanded by Drake. Drake decided he would go with Ling Chen, because compared to the others communicating with Ling Chen was easier.
ㅤ
“Master Chen, our thousand soldiers are confused why master let his fellow master have three thousand other troops? Shouldn't the King make justice in leading the soldiers?”
ㅤ
Ling Chen only smiled awkwardly, he also knew that. But for him, the soldiers are no big deal.
ㅤ
“It's okay, I want it, look at my colleague.” Ling Chen showed Levi who was staring at Drake, “He is very strong, he can turn into a big bird, you must know that his strength is very big right?”
ㅤ
Drake opened his mouth but not a single word came out, he nodded his head in understanding and calmed the soldier with reason at hand. In the end, they had calmed down and Ling Chen resumed his journey.
**
The Diamond Sacred Tower, had a defense strong enough to even hold five thousand soldiers, but lately their food supplies had been depleted and reinforcements had still not come. Make the fighting spirit of the soldier reduced.
ㅤ
Feng was the leader or lieutenant who led in the eastern region, he was actually faced with a difficult situation. As it seemed, he would only be able to last a few more days, Feng was not at all sure the reinforcements would arrive in time.
ㅤ
“Feng you have to rest for a while, lately you have been thinking too much about the Black Mage Association. They are so strong this is not your fault.” Lesty tried to make Feng calm down.
ㅤ
Feng only smiled faintly at Lesty, but the answer was still the same, Feng blamed himself for not being strong enough to help secure the eastern region of the kingdom. If the Sacred Tower were to lose, then the residents in the eastern region could be certain to die.
ㅤ
Sacred Tower is a powerful and sturdy Tower, as the eastern border of the kingdom, Sacred Tower must protect the eastern region kingdom from the attack of the Black Mage Association, the Black Mage Association is very cunning but powerful.
ㅤ
They attack from day to day using glass bottles in which there is a purple liquid, the liquid makes a plague and forces the soldiers to retreat, there were some who were not strong anymore and left the Sacred Tower.
ㅤ
The remaining soldiers were only a thousand more, facing the enemy warrior who had the combat power of five thousand soldiers.
ㅤ
“We will definitely lose.”
ㅤ
Feng pondered back on the old memories, until he woke up when a soldier entered his special place and said something important.
ㅤ
Feng opened his eyes in disbelief, immediately he stood up and ran.
**
Feng was almost hard to stand looking at the far more warriors of the Black Mage Association gathered before them, they blatantly made camp there.
ㅤ
Not a few even the soldiers of the Sacred Tower were goosebumps and unable to stand up, Feng did not blame them but instead continued to blame him. Had he been stronger, none of this would have happened.
ㅤ
“Take my rifle, I will go forward and kill as many.” Feng commanded.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I know therefore I don't want to make my soldiers have to face them. Lesty please understand..” Feng tried to persuade Lesty.
ㅤ
Lesty shook her head in disapproval, of course it made Feng even more upset and tried to leave to sacrifice his life for the sake of his soldiers. Some of the soldiers accidentally heard Feng's words, they became guilty, therefore they started spreading the issue to the soldiers in the Sacred Tower and raised Feng's popularity.
ㅤ
In the next day, all the soldiers looked refreshed despite seeing the sea of enemy warriors before.
**
Ling Chen realized that their horses were very slow compared to riding Levi's crow. Therefore last night Ling Chen had led them on a horse until morning without resting. The journey was really crazy, even some of the soldiers said Ling Chen had no feelings. Meanwhile Levi was also busy looking at using his crow's eyes what was in front of them.
ㅤ
“Master I saw a tower.” Levi.
ㅤ
“Then speed up.”
ㅤ
“Good sir.”
ㅤ
Levi said quite slowly but every soldier could hear his words clearly, Levi told them to ride faster, his words made quite a lot of soldiers protest.
ㅤ
But no one disputes Levi, they start speeding up his horse. Not too long later they were finally able to see a Tower, Ling Chen who first saw it was startled and flew into the sky.
ㅤ
Relying on horses to transport takes a lot of time.
**
The Sacred Tower Warrior with the ability of an archer was no longer able to defend the walls of the Tower, due to the large number of enemy soldiers.
ㅤ
Feng while participating in archery, he helped to kill as many soldiers as the Black Mage Association, each arrow he released killing at least three soldiers at once.
ㅤ
In a jostling situation, it was not difficult for Feng to kill three or four warriors at once, moreover he had two Magician Classes, Wizard and Archer.
ㅤ
His archery skills can also be said to be proficient.
ㅤ
“Attack Area - Explosive arrows!”
ㅤ
Feng released several arrows to several places, the arrows hit one of the soldiers and instantly a huge explosion was created. Even so they were like endless, making the mana inside Feng's body drastically reduced.
ㅤ
“Everybody don't give up! We should at least kill as many of their soldiers!” Feng shouted.
ㅤ
Lesty who was not far away cast water magic and lightning, everyone from the Association warriors were struck by the water in confusion as they were being showered with water. Some of the Association's warriors even thought him stupid, yet a few seconds after, around twenty warriors were rendered unconscious by Lesty's lightning magic.
ㅤ
Ling Chen from above the sky was amazed by the way Lesty used her cleverness.
