Chapter 52: Encounter on the Battlefield

  Yè Rèn Bào's hearing is excellent, and on this battlefield where both sides' vision is only thirty meters, this is another advantage. At this moment, it stopped and was about to tell its master that the enemy had arrived nearby, but not many.

  To advance or to retreat? The Bloodtoothed Leopard is waiting for Mide's judgment. In this night raid, Mide has been killing the Great Magician along the way, and hasn't hesitated to take out those unlucky Centurions either. This level of attack isn't about earning heads, but rather to better disrupt the enemy's judgment, thereby prolonging the hunt.

  Soon, neat footsteps came from the other side of the fog. Judging by the density, it was a hundred-man team. Moreover, it happened to block Midian's advancing route.

  Disperse them. Meddy made such a judgment in his heart.

  But the next moment, when he was about to move, the opponent made a judgment ahead of time. Dozens of throwing axes suddenly broke through the air, cutting open the cold fog, rotating and making a humming sound, thrown at Midy from several sharp angles.

  Mi Di didn't dodge or evade, he just stood there, his heavy sword swinging wildly like a whirlwind. The next moment, the dense sound of metal clashing filled the air as the great sword drew a perfect circle, deflecting all the flying axes.

  "I didn't think you'd actually come." Midei said calmly, but his eyes were icy.

  Across from him, what appeared was not a single-type unit of one hundred men, but rather a mixed formation of troops clad in fiery red armor, with an average level above 18. There were Great Swordsmen skilled in offense, Heavy Knights holding tower shields, Elementalists wielding crystal staves, roaming Gunners holding dual guns on both wings, and Clerics weaving through the formation. Although the composition of professions was extremely rich, the entire formation seemed impenetrable, with a vast range of control.

  This is the truly exceptional team in the Scarlet Flame Legion, named "Flame Guard", at least half of which are elite troops who have transferred occupations.

  However, Medici didn't even glance at the elite troops, but instead cast his cold and sharp gaze directly at the center of the formation, where a blond-haired young man stood with an arrogant attitude and extremely vicious eyes.

  Fenrir? Sess, the first heir of the Sess family.

  In the previous life, after the fall of the Principality of Bellmard and the rise of the Empire of Delos under the Sess family, Fenrir became Midia's arch-nemesis.

  So-called arch-enemy is the kind of enemy who always stares at you, targets you, and even spares no expense to deal with you. It's not just about meeting on the battlefield, nor is it a confrontation due to conflicting interests, but rather contains strong personal emotions and hatred, which is why the battle will never stop.

  Originally, Midei always wanted to confront Fenrir face-to-face and ask why he was targeting her so much.

  Is it to extinguish the last spark of revival after the destruction of the Bellmard Kingdom? Is it jealousy that you have become the sweetheart of the Magic Bullet Queen? Or is it because you always thought yourself to be a child of heaven, but were defeated by me who possesses the mysterious ghost god?

  Or is it just that you can't stand yourself?

  Twenty years after rebirth, Mi Di still had no answer. However, at this moment, he found that Fenrir's gaze was exactly the same as when he looked at himself in his previous life.

  That was a look that would stop at nothing and wanted to take on its own, a gaze full of jealousy and hatred.

  Although I thought the person in front of me was a destined enemy, I didn't expect that this life would become a mortal enemy so quickly.

  Midi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in her heart.

  But at this moment, when he saw Fenrir, his mood was still calm, and there was no longer the impulse to kill Fenrir at all costs that he had at the beginning of his rebirth.

  This time, the advantageous side is Midy's.

  Mysterious divine spirits, transcendent class change, family support and recognition, as well as the bond that has gradually formed between Middy, Feena, and Eris. The current Middy had long since left Fenrir far behind, and for a laggard like him, it was of course impossible to "spare no expense" in dealing with him.

  What's more important is that after experiencing the despair of losing loved ones, companions and lovers, Midy's state of mind has completely changed.

  Reborn for twenty years, I have been working hard till now, is it just to avenge my enemies and get a thrill?

  Of course not.

  It would be easy to take down Middy, and he wouldn't mind putting in some effort or even shedding some blood. However, since standing once again in the reception room of the Royal Magic Academy, Middy had long made up his mind that what he wanted to do this life was protect the people around him well, create a beautiful future for Fina and Eris, as well as many comrades-in-arms, relatives in the castle, and knights!

  Can killing Fenrir bring about these? If so, Mide would be willing to "spare no expense", but it is clear that although the identity of the first heir of the Seth family is indeed very important, it is limited to the Principality of Bellmard.

  But Mide was well aware that, as the Great Shift intensified, the flames of Gran Soren, wars between nations, and turmoil would engulf the entire continent of Arad. To focus one's gaze and heart on a small noble heir would only cause oneself to miss out on too many opportunities.

  So now Midei has already formed bonds with Feena and Eris, his mindset has long since changed.

  Facing that extremely familiar gaze, Middy had already calculated countless possibilities from the commander's perspective in an instant.

  Is it withdrawal or attack?

  If they were to retreat, it would only be a momentary thing. The Bloodtooth Leopard's speed was not something that human legs could catch up with, and with its night vision ability and extraordinary hearing, Midei had the absolute initiative at this moment.

  And if it's an attack, there are two options - capture alive or kill?

  Capture, of course, is the best option. With Midie now holding the brainwashed Count Joseph in his hands, if he can also capture Seth's first heir, this aristocratic war will almost be over. Whatever demands are made, as long as they are not too outrageous, the Seth family can only accept them in exchange for their heir.

  But to do this, there is some difficulty. After all, capturing alive means showing mercy and having absolute control over the battlefield situation. However, the "Inferno Guard" with an average level of 18 and a very reasonable profession combination are not just sitting around eating vegetarian food. They may not be able to stop Middy or beat Middy, but for Middy who has the idea of capturing Fenrir alive, this hundred-man team is a huge threat.

  When necessary, as long as someone has a desperate determination to fight to the death, Middy is very hard to catch Fenrir.

  Killing him, however, is much more likely than capturing him alive, but it doesn't have much significance. Although Fenrir is the first in line to inherit, if there's a first, then naturally there's a second. Killing Fenrir would only make the Sess family, who had already made up their minds, decide once again, and wouldn't bring any other benefits. Moreover, Fenrir's personal combat strength in this war can be considered zero, not even as threatening as a 35-level great magician, whether or not he is killed has no impact on the current battle situation.

  Moreover, from a more macroscopic perspective, perhaps staying in Finland is the best choice.

  After all, this was an enemy that Mide was extremely familiar with. He knew his personality traits, way of thinking, and weaknesses like the back of his hand. It's just that in their previous life, the gap between their strengths was too great. One was a fugitive, while the other had the backing of the Delos Empire as a high-ranking noble, so Mide was always suppressed.

  But in this life, if Fenrir really becomes a crucial figure in the Seth family, with Mide's current energy and familiarity with Fenrir, it is enough to use this characteristic to deliver a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

  Not just fatal to the Sayes family but also to Senatorial faction and even the behind-the-scenes Delos Empire.

  This is the advantage of rebirth.

  So, should we just choose to avoid it?

  Of course not.

  In an instant, Meddy's mind had turned over many thoughts, and he whispered a few words to the raven on his shoulder. The small black bird spread its wings and flew into the air, quickly disappearing into the fog, even the seasoned wandering gunman couldn't react in time.

  Then, after seeing off the crow, Midgard turned an icy smile towards Fenrir, whose face was darker than ever.

  "You're just in time, let me take care of you." Midy said.

  "Hmph, too arrogant! Kill him for me!" Fenrir bellowed loudly, issuing the command. And in his eyes filled with hatred, a hint of imperceptible joy also flashed by.

  The two met, and Mid had made many calculations, but for Fenrir, he didn't need to calculate at all. The reason why the Scarlet Flame Legion withdrew from the castle of the Asreix family was to turn around and kill Mid, and the commander of this night raid in front of him was also Mid - if not killing Mid, who would they kill?

  Fenrir gathered the strongest Flame Guard from the remaining troops, not to rescue those massacred mages, but to pursue and kill Middy. Now that they've run into each other, what more is there to think about?

  The only concern of this heir to the Sais family was that Midee would turn around and run away directly. In this fog, under the night color, the speed of the leopard is breathtaking.

  But he didn't expect that this Mide would be so arrogant, with only one person, charging towards his own hundred-man squad, and it was the elite "Yanwei" who came.

  If you're captured alive, I'll make sure to torture you to death!

  As soon as he thought of the humiliation before the Academy Trial, where he was held at sword point by Midy in front of everyone on the training grounds, and after the trial ended, Lind College's principal, who had just announced that he had come first, was taken away on the spot, Fenrir's heart surged with uncontrollable anger.

  But then he thought of the first beauty of the Principality of Bellmare, that beautiful long-haired woman with autumn red maple-like hair, tall and slender legs, full of vitality, Phina Hamilton and Midi together talking and laughing, intimate contact, Fenrir was even more jealous.

  It's clear that only the Sess family, as a grand duke on an equal footing with Hamilton, is a small earl's son, how can he get all these things and women he likes?

  So Fenrir was determined to kill Midgard.

  Now that he has this opportunity, he naturally wants to go all out. He wants to let Yanwei quietly lay down a deadly net, directly pinning Midou to death inside, without giving him any chance at all.

  However, reality was contrary to Fenrir's idea.

  One hundred to one, it's not the Flame Guardians suppressing Mide, but rather Mide alone suppressing the Flame Guardians.
