Chapter 543 War
Bam!
Bam!
The footsteps alone caused the ground to tremble and produced such a loud sound that they could hear it from such a long distance.
“!!!” Nathan and the others couldn’t help but turn around, finding the giant figure gradually coming closer.
Its shape was similar to the alien he once fought in the mine. It had a humanoid body, but its head was filled with tentacles. The black symbiote created both the wings and a massive club.
Still, this wasn’t an ordinary club. They could see large tentacles covering the entire club.
Nathan knew that fighting this giant would be much different from the mature class humanoid alien he once fought before.
However, the real problem was that this humanoid alien was actually bringing another army. There were at least ten mature class aliens following right behind him, let alone the number of lower level aliens.
“…” Nathan’s expression turned grim. ‘This is… Are you serious? This is a bit too much.’
Nathan’s original plan was to let Flora and Noelle work together to take down a warrior class alien. Meanwhile, the four of them would handle the mature class mutant.
Of course, the possibility of the second mature class alien had been considered by Nathan, but the number of aliens it brought exceeded his imagination.
With this, there were at least 23 mature class aliens on the battlefield with two warrior class aliens at the helm.
And with such a distance, it made Nathan think this alien was just brought here. No, was the satyr-like alien, or more known as the Man of Leng, called this new humanoid alien?
It was actually waiting until the humanoid alien arrived before making his appearance, creating a huge surprise that was planned to make the soldiers panic.
Not only the soldiers, but even Nathan was panicking. Even if he could split their group again and somehow stop the two warrior class aliens, it was impossible to deal with the rest of the mature class aliens.
“This is…” Nathan gritted his teeth. ‘While the number of the warrior class aliens is within my imagination, the number of mature class aliens has exceeded our capability.
‘Should we break the formation and head to the base? No. If we do that, the aliens can chase after our backs, and a lot of us will die for nothing.
‘In addition, the Man of Leng was clever enough to actually position himself between us and the base. It is as if he already knows we will be going there. He is planning to stop us by himself…
‘That’s hard, but this is a warrior class alien we’re talking about. In that case, should we engage them?
‘This is even more absurd. If we engage them right now, we will be overrun by the mature class aliens. Even if we can stop them, there are still juvenile class aliens to worry about. In the end, the soldiers don’t have magic weapons to fight the juvenile class aliens.
‘What should we do? Either option will cause too many losses. I doubt they’re enough to kill all of us, but the damage will be big enough that we won’t be able to head to the minister anymore.’
Nathan clicked his tongue, unable to think of a plan. At the same time, the Man of Leng was gradually approaching him after taking care of Jinwu and Nidhogg.
He didn’t really have time to think. No, they didn’t really give him time.
“What is going on?”
“Are they mature class aliens?”
“No. If you look at the aliens behind them, I think they’re not a mature class alien… A warrior class alien?”
“Are you saying that there are two warrior class aliens?”
“This is over.”
“Can we even do this? We’re supposed to fight only one warrior class alien. Why are there suddenly two of them?”
“We’ve been briefed that because of the situation, our group is the weakest…”
“Goddammit!”
Nathan gritted his teeth, hearing the people’s rumblings. The soldiers were on the verge of giving up, so he had to come up with something fast to both restore their morale and fight all these aliens.
“Nathan!” Noelle raised her voice.
“!!!” Nathan’s eyes shifted to the origin of that voice as Noelle pointed at him while saying, “Don’t doubt yourself. Use this as another card.”
Noelle stomped the ground and released her ena as another horseman gradually appeared out of thin air.
The horseman had a red steed. It was majestic and its size was comparable to her dullahan, which was around 4 meters (13 feet) in height.
The rider looked like a human at first, but it covered its entire body with armor and no one could tell what he really was from his outside appearance, especially with that pair of eyes that shone like a blood moon behind the helmet.
The rider raised his great sword. “War!”
All of a sudden, a huge red circle appeared underneath the ground and expanded to cover the entire battlefield.
“!!!” The soldiers widened their eyes when they suddenly felt a surge of strength coming from within.
“Endurance!”
“Strength!”
“Blood!”
The rider spoke three more words, causing the huge red circle to actually form four golden patterns on it.
The effect was almost spontaneous.
One of the soldiers was supposed to cut down the alien before him together with his mate on the right. He would be the first one so that the alien was distracted while his mate would deal a killing blow.
To their surprise, the soldier cut the alien, who was trying to block his swing. He cut through the hand and continued to its body with almost little restriction.
“Huh?” The soldiers were stunned. “Did you…”
The occurrence was happening all over the battlefield as the aliens overwhelmed the aliens all of a sudden.
They were shocked but also excited, wondering what was happening. For some reason, they weren’t afraid of what was coming, thinking they had the strength to resist.

“Are we this strong?”
“The summoners are doing something?”
“We can still fight.”
“That’s right. Since the summoners haven’t given up, we shouldn’t, too!”
The soldiers’ morale was raised. It was as if Noelle deliberately didn’t summon her familiar until this point, so that the sudden increase in their strength would increase their morale so high that they didn’t have to worry about it anymore.
Although their paths were different, Noelle was also searching for the path of a commander, wanting to surpass her grandfather, both in commanding ability and swordsmanship.
