123: Reinforcement

Reinforcement

"If you think you can fight another two thousand flying beasts and one intelligent A-rank beast, then feel free to say I'm underestimating you!" Kai couldn't delay it anymore, so he roared without even thinking about how they were superiors.

They fell into momentary silence before Sanders suddenly said, "If you think reinforcing the left army is a good idea, bring one hundred elites and all the military students with you. I and my four hundred elites will stop the three thousand flying beasts in this place."

"Kai, bring a hundred fighters and a hundred gunners from this place." Jack also scratched his head, knowing it was already hard enough to stop this many magical beasts with a thousand alone.

However, their victory was on the line, so he could only grit his teeth and send reinforcements.

"No. They're too slow. I'm going there with teleportation magic. Though, I can still bring the reinforcements from the reserve army as long as the left army can hold the magical beasts for a while."

"I will try," Sarah said with a troubled expression. In front of her was a giant octopus. Not only could this octopus brazenly live on land, but it was also ridiculously fast. Every attack was countered perfectly by this octopus, and even her magic was also blocked easily. She glanced at Sanae and shouted, "Shirotsuka Sanae, You are a member of the Snake Elite Corps, right? Can you take care of an intelligent A-rank flying beast alone?"

Shirotsuka Sanae widened her eyes in shock as she didn't hear any part of the talk they had on the radio. Without asking anything, she answered, "If it's only to buy time, I can."

"Good! We don't need too long, reinforcements will come later."

"All right. I'll try my best."

"I will also send three hundred gunners to you."

Sanae didn't understand what she meant, but she still nodded.

Meanwhile, Kai appeared in the middle of the reserve army, finding the battle between the general and an A-rank barn swallow. Unfortunately, he couldn't watch it any longer. He carefully looked around to see which one would be their reinforcement group.

"He has come!" General Sanders said after noticing his presence. He said without turning around, "He is the one in charge of this battle. All of you will follow him and help the left army."

One of the elites came to him. He was a middle-aged man, the same age as the general. "I am Roga. Although I don't want to believe it, the general's order is absolute, so please take care of us. I will be in charge of them since they might not want to listen to your order."

Kai only nodded to answer his greeting before saying, "We don't have time."

"Yes. I am aware." He raised his hand and shouted, "All troops, move out!"

Kai turned back and ran toward the left army.

…

In the left battlefield.

The flying beasts finally arrived, making the soldiers tremble with their presence. Their situation was not good from the beginning, and they would even get attacked in this situation. At this point, each soldier really wanted to curse.

"Shoot them!" Sanae ordered three hundred gunners to intercept the flying beasts before she also flew to the sky with her wind magic.

Sanae frowned as she alone wouldn't be able to stop them from getting to the hill. She created a huge tornado to keep the birds at bay while the gunners shot them.

At this time, a gigantic bird flew toward the tornado and flapped its wings, blowing the tornado away.

Squeak!

"!!!" Sanae furrowed her eyebrows and threw her star knives toward the bird, but they were blown away by a single flap.

She might be a perfect opponent for a bird because she could fly, however, her wind magic turned out to be an absolute bane against this bird.

"Fu." Sanae took a deep breath, searching for a gap to exploit. The bird rendered her useless, and she couldn't stop the other birds from getting to their gunners.

As she predicted, they dove down to attack the gunners first, and Sanae quickly threw her star knives to intercept them. Unfortunately, the bird blew her star knives away yet again. "Tch. Be careful."

She released all of her wind magic to prevent the bird from destroying her wind manipulation.

"Since you want to be killed first, then I'll kill you."

Boom!

"Argh!"

Just as she said those words, a loud sound echoed throughout the battlefield. She turned around, and it turned out that they actually had two other intelligent creatures, a turtle and a lobster.

"This is not good!" Sanae and Sarah cursed at the same time.

At the same time.

Boom!

An attack coming from the right exploded in the middle of the flying beasts as a few of them turned around to see what happened.

"!!!" Sanae and Sarah turned around and smirked. Their reinforcement had finally arrived.

"Let's go!" Kai and a hundred people started charging toward the hill.

Squeak! Squeak!

The bird leader who was fighting against Sanae commanded the other birds.

"I'll take all of you down!" Sanae smirked. She created a huge green magic circle. "Whirlwind Blade"

A huge tornado came out of the magic circle, carrying Sanae's star knives. It spun around at a very fast speed, moving around to the other birds and cutting them down one by one like a sharp blade. She couldn't use this technique against the sea creatures earlier because of their hard shells, but it was a deadly weapon against these birds.

She glanced at Kai and was shocked. They were planning to climb the hill while being surrounded by flying beasts.

Meanwhile, Kai took a deep breath before releasing his ferocious aura. He looked up, noticing the birds that started coming down.

"Sir, let me take care of it!" Roga shouted as he increased his speed to get past Kai. However, Kai suddenly increased his speed, leading the group from the very front.

At that moment, the bird dove down, attempting to strike Kai with its beak. Kai simply leaped and rolled around a few times in the air before sending a dropkick right onto its head. Another bird rushed at him, so he jumped and used his sword to kill it.

Sque...ak...

The bird let out a weak shrill. Kai's kick shattered the bird's skull and cracked the ground by his sheer force alone. A kick containing a few hundred kilograms of strength killed the bird in an instant.

This certainly sent a shock to the other elites. Never would they have expected Kai to have this much strength.

There was another thing that made them unable to look away from this young student. At first, they thought that Kai might unquestionably be a prodigy in the strategist world, but becoming a fighter and personally coming to the battlefield was a whole other matter. In this field where things would unfold instantly, they wondered how he would fight.

However, their imaginations were shattered as Kai charged in front to boost the troops' morale, which was praiseworthy, and killed a single bird with one kick before leaping to another bird and killing it with a single swing.

As someone who had been on the battlefield for a few years, Roga quickly shouted, "Are you guys really elites, for you to have a student leading at the front? Men, move up, we will rescue the left army!"

Their pride was triggered. Without even saying anything, they roared as they started killing the pack of birds that were coming at them.

Roga looked at Kai's back and somehow had his heart moved by this young person. He didn't know whether to classify this youngster as a genius or a reckless brat, but it was certain that the plan was going well. The scene from a few minutes ago flashed in his mind.

...

A few minutes ago.

"Commander Kai, this is going to be rough… I have been in the base for a few years and encounter this type of bird every single year. From what I know, the bird will most likely dive down and attack us the moment we help the left army." Roga stopped Kai before the bird spotted them. "I suggest we go around this place and climb the hill from the other side."

Kai halted his movement and pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head. "It would be too late. Taking a look at their condition, they'll most likely collapse in less than five minutes. We can only come from the front."

"But, Sir, we still need to-"

"No. I'm talking about another plan. If they attack us… no, I should say it's better if they attack us."0

"Sir?"

"I can't explain too much, so I'll just say this. If they attack us, it'll lift a portion of the burden from the left army. As for the military students, it's better for them to go around this place and climb the hill safely. They're not good with this anyway."

"!!!" Roga was taken aback by Kai's plan. "Sir, you mean…"

"Yes." Kai nodded. "You guys are elites, right? Can I expect that from all of you?"

"Yes, Sir!" Roga saluted him from the bottom of his heart.

…

He shook his head while wielding his glaive, cutting down every single bird that tried to attack him while running.

"Follow Sir Kai, and we will relieve the left army!" He shouted. Kai's plan was simple. He planned to use the godspeed and unison movement from the elites to destroy everything that was in their way. That was the reason he made the military students go around. They would only be a burden in this plan, after all.

"Roger that!"
