THE LORD IS TOO OVERBEARING

Chapter 346 A Haunting Music (2)



Carrying the vengeance of those who had fallen in the Outbreak so far, the army headed to the Southern Sea Region vigorously. Their hands twitched as their hearts palpitated impatiently.

20 kilometers—it was the remaining distance they needed to cover to reach Goap. It wasn't far; they could reach it in less than twenty minutes. In fact, they could already feel the sickening presence of Goap's Army.

"This bloody battle will be huge," Anthony muttered. Turning his head around, he clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Out of the 30 Legions I have created, only twelves are with me? What are the rest of them doing?!"

Carlyle, who was riding his horse beside Anthony, could only pull his helmet slightly down, and said nothing. He was just as curious as Anthony about that, so he didn't want to placate Anthony.

Kuuuooong!

As soon as they heard the eerie and loud roar coming from the front, all of the hair on their skin stood up. They didn't know how the creature looked, nor had they ever heard its roar before, but they were sure it was one of Goap's creatures.

Most of them gulped nervously as soon as the roar died down. They couldn't imagine just how big and fearsome the creature had to be to be able to let out that loud and intimidating roar from such a distance.

"Pick up your pace! The enemy is in front of us!"

At this point, they were still 15 kilometers away from Southern Sea Region. Despite so, they could already see Demons running their way.

All of them increased their speed at Anthony's order, meanwhile the Mages began to cast their Spells. The 3 kilometers distance between the two sides was rapidly eliminated due to their speed.

Boom! Boom!

Before the distance was completely eliminated, however, the Demons were bombarded by the Spells of the Mages. Many of them died by the first wave of Spell attacks, meanwhile those who survived were butchered by the Knights.

"Break through! Our target is not these eye sores!" Anthony shouted.

Despite receiving that order, the 78,000 people didn't stop doing their best to kill as many as they could. They, after all, didn't want to be sandwiched by the Demons upon reaching Southern Sea Region.

Swish!

Slash!

They successfully broke through the rank of Demons in 5 minutes; by that time, three fourth of the Demons were already killed. Uncaring to the surviving Demons trying to catch up to them, however, they rushed to Southern Sea Region.

In less than 10 minutes, they could already see the soon to be battlefield clearly. Their heart pounded so loud to the point of deafening their ears.

The land in front of the sea that was covering an area of 13 square kilometers was occupied entirely by Demons. The sea was also filled by so many Aquatic Demons, they couldn't bother to count.

Charybdis was protruding out of the sea, directing its wide and gigantic mouth at the people. The battle hadn't started yet, but the aura filling the place and the presence of the Demons were sickening enough to shy people away.

"Tremble not, my people, for I, your King, is fighting by your side! Swing your swords, and cast your Spells without fear. Know that if you die, you won't die for naught. For our home and family!"

Anthony had been in a lot of battlefield since he was young. Although the Demons he had fought were weaker than the Demons he was going to fight, he knew how to control the crowd.

"For our home and family!"

"Uwooogh!"

"Charge!"

His encouragement had riled the people up even more. The hesitation and nervousness that they previously had disappeared in the blink of an eye as they charged at the Demons infesting their Kingdom.

Anthony, being a powerful Battle Mage himself, joined the Knights and the other Battle Mages to fight in the front. They formed a flexible Magic Battle Formation that didn't require them to stay together in the same place.

Burst!

BOOM!

Thousands of Demons turned to ashes as soon as the fire Anthony's Spell had produced touched them. Each of their individual prowess was dramatically increased due to the Magic Battle Formation—even Anthony's—so their attacks had become more potent.

The Demons weren't easily pushed back, unfortunately, since they completely outnumbered the humans.

"There is the King." Looking at the scene, Goap chuckled coldly. "Look at how confident he is. Charging here thinking that he will be able to hurt me. How naive!"

Scylla, whose shoulder was the place where Goap was standing on, reminded, "Don't underestimate him. The last time you underestimated humans, you suffered greatly."

"I know, my friend. I am not underestimating him." Goap shook his head faintly. "I was just making a remark of how brave he is."

Jumping down Scylla's shoulder afterwards, he stood on the shore, which was the rear line of his army. Smirking coldly as soon as he saw Anthony's eyes land on him, he provoked Anthony to come at him.

Seeing that, the Braxtein Kingdom's King gritted his teeth in annoyance. Goap was at the safest spot in the formation, so it would be hard and exhausting to reach him.

On top of that, even after Anthony and the brave people following him managed to break through the rank, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be attacked by the army behind them. In fact, that would definitely happen, which made the situation irritating.

"That coward! He isn't going to get out of his sanctuary, is he?" He muttered spitefully.

"My King! Let us focus on these Monsters first!" Carlyle shouted. "That worm Monster—I believe it won't stay still. We have to watch for it!"

He was referring to Charybdis. None of them knew about Charybdis' other than the fact that its name was mentioned in the folklores of the old times, so they were very anxious about what she would do.

Anthony, despite knowing Charybdis and had read about her, also didn't know that they were facing Charybdis due to the lack of detailed explanation on how she looked; so, like the others, he was equally anxious.

"Bollocks! I am going to execute many people if we lose this battle!"

Cursing, he eventually led the people to fight the surrounding Demons, instead of aiming for Goap. Said Demon Prince was disappointed by the decision, so he told his remaining Great Generals to participate.

As hard as it is to believe, but the moment the three of them joined the battle, the flow changed dramatically. For the next five hours, even without Scylla and Goap's intervention, the human army lost an alarming amount of people.

...

Army Camp, BA-32 (3 kilometers away from Goap's Obelisk).

As the fierce battle with Goap was ongoing in Southern Sea Region, Lawson and the 10,00 people he brought just by saying he would fight alongside Basil were already waiting for said prodigy for closely to half a day.

[Wait for me.]

It was what Basil had said through the Transmission Talisman as soon as Lawson arrived at the camp. At that time, he had thought the wait wouldn't be more than an hour, so upon waiting for this long, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"Just how good is he in bed?!" Lawson exclaimed.

Hearing that, Glenn's face immediately darkened. Like Lawson and friends, the people who had fought alongside Basil was floored by his absence, so as the person who had seen when Basil go outside the camp, he took the role to reassure them.

It was much to his horror that everyone misunderstood him immediately when he said that Basil was just training with Iliana and Ione. He genuinely believed that Basil was doing that, but most of the people were too dirty minded to think like him.

"Head Commander... Please, don't kill me!" He muttered as he prostrated on the ground while crying. "I didn't say anything wrong. These people are just born perverts!"

Blinking her eyes at what her colleague was doing, Cassandra couldn't help sighing helplessly. She knew that Basil wasn't such a person; but, like the others, she couldn't help worrying if basil would remember to return.

It seemed to her he was too focused on his training that he had forgotten about them. On top of giving off the aura of a lone wolf, he could also fight so well in the front line alone, so she believed it was highly likely to be the case.

"We can't wait for him forever," Lawson said. "In each passing second we have wasted waiting for him, hundreds of people have died. If we keep staying idle, this war—"

"Who says you are wasting your time? Just because you are not killing anyone, it doesn't mean you are wasting your time."

At the interruption, everyone instantly turned their head to the direction the voice had come from. A smile immediately crept up their face as soon as they saw the person they had been waiting was walking towards them along with his escorts.

"Look at the people around you. If you had been in the battlefield, many of them would have died by now. It is a pain, indeed, to stay idle when there is a war in front of you, but know that you are also saving those beside you by doing that."

Once again, Basil's words struck something in them. A look of realization appeared on their faces, but followed by that was a solemn mood.

As much as they wanted to save their home, they were also selfish people who wanted to stay alive. The only people suffering weren't those who were butchered by the Demons, but also them who may or may not die in the battlefield.

That realization made they dread about the battlefield as much as they thanked the fact that they were enjoying the half a day Basil had given them. Despite so, they still wanted to go to the battlefield.

"Welcome back, Head Commander Basil," Edward greeted, breaking the silence. "A sixth of our army fighting in Southern Sea Region has been eradicated. I think it is time for us to aid them."

Turning to Lawson, Basil nodded his head. "Let us depart." It was a sign to tell Lawson that he wouldn't lead the people Lawson had brought.

Sighing in admiration at Basil's wit, Lawson told the people he brought to get on their horses. Basil did the same to the army he was leading, then waited for them outside the camp.

When all of the people were ready to depart, followed by Iliana and Ione, he jumped on Deacon. The moment he gave the people the green light, the march to Southern Sea Region was begun.
