Chapter Forty-two From Day to Night

  An unstoppable fatal slash fell, the scorching blood inside the Crazy Wolf had not yet spewed out when it was sealed by the chill of Mide's lightsaber, thoroughly frozen. From the side that was split open, one could even see the white bones and internal organs inside the Crazy Wolf.

  At the moment when Crazy Wolf was beheaded, Mi Di suddenly saw a dark and gloomy aura being extracted from his body.

  This ghostly energy wailed, seemingly wanting to escape, but was somehow pulled by an invisible force. In the end, it was absorbed into Middy's left arm. The next moment, Middy only felt his body surging with power, not only was the magic that had been consumed replenished instantly, but his physical quality was also improving at a speed that could be felt.

  At level 24, after Mide's oni absorbed the Kyōrō's oni, the feedback of power washed over his entire body, thus causing Mide to directly rise one rank.

  The gap between Vina and Alice has narrowed down, Midy thought with a tinge of emotion, revealing a smile.

  To the people around him, this smile seemed profound and unfathomable to an extreme degree. Moreover, after slaying a powerful enemy, Mide's surging aura due to his level up shocked everyone - This seemingly young and arrogant guy had actually become so strong?

  The enemy is in a state of panic, while our side is overjoyed.

  In the distance, the deputy officer of the Blood Wolf Battalion had just brought two hundred men to attempt a local thorough encirclement. However, before he could even deploy his troops, Crazy Wolf was already dead. In an instant, the deputy officer lost his bearings and could only stare blankly at the black-haired youth standing in the snowy wilderness.

  But the defenders of the Asrecks family were ecstatic, and by this time they had all recognized that the one standing in front of them on the battlefield was none other than the first heir to the family, Mide Asrecks!

  "Master Mide! It's Master Mide! He's too strong, taking down a level 35 Thousand-Man Warrior with just four swords!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

  "That guy is a member of the Aslex family, kill him!" The Blood Wolf Squad was not short on brave warriors, and immediately, Midi's identity also attracted many enemies.

  But in the next moment, hundreds and thousands of arrows, like a metal storm, fell from the sky, clearing out large areas of people.

  The spirits have completed their encirclement and are now carrying out a one-sided slaughter against the Blood Wolf Squad, who are in complete disarray.

  Looking at the fully armed spirit swordsmen emerging from every street corner, the roaming bowmen occupying the high ground, the elemental mages chanting massive destructive magic under the protection of the holy guards, and the night blade leopard cavalry that looked elite, the soldiers of the Blood Wolf Corps suddenly lost their will to fight.

  Without the leadership of the mad wolf, the battle situation fell into an overwhelming disadvantage again. The centurions also gave up their persistence and led their subordinates to start a chaotic retreat.

  However, the deputy officer of the Blood Wolf Battalion was very clear that breaking through was simply impossible. The first heir in line had personally taken action to kill the mad wolf and attract attention, wasn't it just to capture all of you at once?

  The Blood Wolf Troop was slaughtering the villagers of Tammy Town just before, but now it's these unknown elves who are slaughtering them. As the saying goes, "an eye for an eye", only this revenge has come a bit too quickly, hasn't it?

  The deputy suddenly thought of something, hastily walked forward, threw away the weapon in his hand, and showed a humble smile to Midee, then knelt down on one knee: "I am very familiar with each stronghold of the Joseph family and understand their plans. Please spare my life, Lord Midie Aslexis! I am willing to serve you!"

  The next moment, the deputy officer suddenly found that his field of vision was spinning wildly. In an instant, he felt himself flying into the air, and even saw his own... headless body...

  "We're in a hurry, no time to take prisoners." Midei sheathed his lightsaber and said calmly to the large head that had rolled onto the ground.

  For these enemies who slaughtered his people, he never had any intention of letting them off, to repay blood with blood, and tooth for tooth. Reborn after twenty years, what he wanted was to make up for the regret. How could Mide possibly tolerate these petty traitors again?

  Just one hour later, the battle in Tamai town was over.

  Having lost their commander, the hundred-man squads were annihilated one by one, and not a single member of the Blood Wolf Battalion escaped. Not even a prisoner was taken, all were killed to the last man, just as they had originally intended to do to the townspeople. The cost to Midie's side was only seventy or eighty town guards who failed to receive reinforcements, while the elves had already formed a complete formation when they first entered the town, and none of them suffered any losses except for several dozen swordsmen at the front who were injured.

  No embellishment is needed, this is a complete victory.

  But for Middy, who had experienced countless great wars in his previous life, this was just a daily landscape.

  He was not intoxicated by a zero-death perfect victory, after all, the current situation is still severe. For the Aslex family, even if there are several more perfect victories, they will still be at a disadvantage, and as long as they lose one game, they may fall into desperation.

  The duke fails ten times and is still a duke, but an earl may go bankrupt with just one failure. This is the reality of the aristocratic circle, the result of a disparity in strength.

  Medi wasn't just fighting to annihilate the enemy, he needed a strategic victory, which was made up of one carefully set up battle after another.

  The victory of Tami Town is just the first move of Miti's chess game.

  "Get the warriors ready." Midei issued a new order, "Tonight, we will pursue our victory and raid Akashi County!"

  Akatsuki County, rich in red soil and red crystals, both of which are important magical materials. After the start of the noble war, the Akatsuki Corps occupied this county town, originally belonging to the Asureiku family, without hesitation, and also left a whole thousand-man squad to garrison it.

  But tonight, they will pay the price for their greed.

  One after another, azure beams of light streaked across the black night sky, like shooting stars descending from heaven. They fell with unerring accuracy onto the encampment of the Scarlet Flame Legion, instantly shattering one defensive line after another. Dozens of fully armed soldiers were blown to smithereens, their bodies reduced to a mixture of blood, flesh and metal fragments!

  That wasn't some kind of trap set up beforehand, nor was it a black powder hand grenade that ammunition experts liked to use, but rather a cursed bullet.

  Incredibly powerful and long-range magic bullet.

  Fina Hamilton's Magic Bullet.

  "Snipers move to rooftops to find high ground, occupying the West District clock tower and East District high-rise for suppressive fire."

  "The great swordsman equipped with a shield, blocked the east, west and north exits, leaving only the south road open."

  "Mages conduct saturation attacks under the cover of Holy Knights, advancing on the streets, keeping both close and long range covered, leaving street corners to be controlled by archers."

  "The Night Blade Leopard Cavalry is lying in ambush in the forest area south of the county town, waiting for my order, ready to move at any time."

  One by one, the orders were issued from Middy's mouth and sent out in an orderly manner. Under these orders, the elves occupied one high ground after another with ease, blocked one passage after another, and submerged the soldiers of the Scarlet Flame Legion who had limited visibility in the dark with powerful magic.

  With both of them by his side, the war was completely different.

  Midi gazed at the black-haired girl beside him, still quiet and unresponsive, then looked at the red-haired girl in the distance, who was wildly firing magic bullets. It seemed as if he had caught a glimpse of the shadow of his previous life's Gyoku no Gundan.

  The command methods of an army are no more than a few kinds, such as military bugle, drum, flag and messenger.

  Bugles and drums are suitable for complex terrain, as long as the sound is loud enough to be transmitted, day or night. The disadvantage is that if one concentrates on fighting and misses a command, it will cause disconnection in response.

  The command method of the flag includes the flag language and the position of the commander's flag itself, which is generally used in plains and forests with good visibility. Of course, it is not applicable in places like alley battles. More importantly, in night battles, except for the commander's flag specially marked with illumination techniques, others cannot be used.

  The messenger is undoubtedly able to convey orders most accurately, but the speed is relatively slow, and there is also a possibility of being intercepted halfway.

  The sprite warriors are completely devoid of the common sense of human soldiers, and to understand the meaning of the combination of long and short military numbers or the significance represented by the waving flags, it takes time itself.

  So, originally, Mide wouldn't have been able to command so smoothly.

  But now, although it was only his second battle, everything was already in perfect order, looking like a seasoned veteran who had been tempered for a long time.

  Due to Fina's ultra-long-range magic bullets, it became the best way to mark targets in the dark of night. And the Fog Witch's familiar "Wind Speaker" allowed Middy to directly convey spoken words to the scattered spirit captains at the same time.

  The existence of the future Bullet Queen and Fog Witch allows this newly formed unit to possess the most efficient messaging method, as well as the most accurate firepower gathering mode.

  The night curtain has become the best cover for the elves with night vision and hiding abilities.

  Even if the defense of the Scarlet Flame Legion was much tighter than that of the Blood Wolf Battalion, it still seemed powerless in the face of such an enemy. Two thousand elves were like a giant iron pincer, firmly pinching the entire Redstone County, and continuously spewing death tongues into it, burning the desperate enemies.

  Tonight is destined to be Middy's hunting night.

  When the dawn sunlight pierced through the darkness, casting golden rays onto the earth, the ground of Akakawa County was already stained red with blood. The smoke from the magical explosion had not yet dispersed, dyeing the clear sky a dull gray. Corpses and scattered weapons littered the streets, with occasional wounded soldiers struggling and groaning amidst the piles of dead bodies.

  The elf warriors, after a night of fighting, were still spirited and triumphant. Victory was the best stimulant.

  They marched in neat columns, building after building, street after street was swept clean until all traces of the Scarlet Legion were thoroughly erased. Finally, on the roof of the Governor's mansion, a flag bearing the emblem of House Ashreks was rehoisted.

  This flag is waving in the cold wind of winter, stubbornly unfolding, and on this bloody battlefield, it has painted a bright color.

  So dazzling and eye-catching, just like a reborn person who has experienced despair and failure, and is determined to make up for everything after being reborn.

  Advance, no retreat.

  Victory, not defeat!

  "Rest for a day, next destination, Bluewater Village." Middy's new order was given without hesitation.
