The Magician Of Sound

Not long after the battle started, the right army finally got their company. Marsha, who usually smiled through the day, put her serious face on before releasing her killing intent.

The soldiers gasped, finding a new side of Marsha. Her gaze was so cold, freezing them in the spot, and her eyes became sharp before she shouted, "All fighters will follow me as we will hold the magical beasts. Gunners, all of you focus on killing them one at a time. The middle army has sacrificed themselves to direct half of our enemies to the left army. If we can't even deal with these puny numbers, be prepared for the consequences!"

"Ye-Yes, Ma'am!" The soldiers never expected Marsha to have this kind of side. Her warm nature flashed on their mind as they clenched their weapons, thinking, 'We will surely win the fight.'

Their surprise did not end there. Marsha dropped another bomb by taking out her glaive in front of them. The first weapon came in thought after seeing Marsha would be a delicate weapon. Even if it were not a rapier and such, it would be a spear or sword.

Unfortunately, their expectations were shattered twice, as they felt nothing would surprise them anymore. With a determination as well as disappointment, they picked up their weapons and roared.

"Attack!" Marsha quickly gave her orders as she ran across the field to meet these many magical beasts.

"Uoh!" The yell echoed in the battlefield. Whether they were women or men, they shouted on top of their lungs, charging toward the magical beasts.

The gunners started shooting the magical beasts, killing them one by one. Unfortunately, just like the battle in Prince Rupert, a single bullet was not enough to kill the magical beasts. They started grouping together and aiming at one magical beast at a time according to Marsha's instruction.

With five people shooting at the same spot simultaneously, it created a hole and killed the magical beast in a split second.

For some reason, Marsha smiled and swung her glaive, blowing away a giant crab. The crab took a few sea creatures behind it and stopped the momentum of the magical beasts.'

For them, such events were already beyond their imaginations.

Momentarily, the soldiers thought of two options: The first option was stopping the charge of magical beasts to protect the gunners on the back. The other option was to use the momentum that Marsha made and pushed the magical beasts. Unfortunately, the latter carried a huge risk as the magical beasts might pass through them and destroy the gunners' formation. Coming to a conclusion, they spread out to receive the entire charge of these magical beasts.

The battle escalated quickly into a full brawl between the two parties. Marsha kept killing the sea creatures as much as possible, showing her prowess to her soldiers. This would raise the soldiers' morale and eventually rout all of the magical beasts.

...

In the left battlefield,

Sarah narrowed her eyes. With the better view from atop the hill, she could see how many the magical beasts were.

The same applied to the soldiers. Although they already anticipated this sight, they still could not help but tense.

"Don't be afraid!" She shouted. Even the fighters at the bottom of the hill could hear her voice. They looked at her with great anticipation.

"Fighters, just keep the magical beasts away from the hill. Our gunners would surely kill all of them to support you. Dying is not allowed! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ma'am!"

"Here they come!"

"Uoh!" The fighters became a wall with that surge of morale.

Shirotsuka Sanae quickly descended the hill and threw both of her star knives. A green magic circle appeared right beside the star knives, boosting its speed to create a speed fast enough to shatter the magical beasts' shell.

The soldiers stupefied for a second before helping her to defend the hill. There was even a trace of surprise in Sarah's cold face. Although she had heard about an Elite Snake Group that was proud of their firepower, it was still hard to believe a C or D rank like her could have that much power.

Unfortunately, Sanae did not care about her thoughts and continued her killing spree.

One minute later, she found a group of magical beasts climbing the hill, but she instantly appeared in front of them, creating a giant magic circle on the ground.

The magic circle generated a huge enough wind to launch them a few meters to the air and crashed on other magical beasts.

Sarah furrowed her eyebrows as she shouted, "Soldiers. Support the fighters now and be careful of friendly fires."

"Yes!"

After giving her orders, she took out her spear and descended the hill to join the fight.

…

In the reserve army, Kai sat in a chair and closed his eyes, observing every movement of the magical beasts.

It was according to the actual plan. Although the ratio between the three armies was slightly unbalanced, it was still within his expectation.

Currently, the right army had around two thousand magical beasts swarming their area while the middle army was still waiting for his order. On the other hand, the left army was under the swarm of five thousand sea creatures.

Tasha and Michelle had yet to do something special while Sanae was fighting like crazy in the left army. She stood out like a star, throwing her star knives around and killing a large number of enemies. For the time being, her killing count was the highest in the entire battlefield.

"How is it going? Is there any movement from the enemy?" General Sanders asked, wondering if Kai was asleep or just paying attention.

Kai slowly owned his eyes, rose from his seat, and answered with a serious expression. "It's according to the plan. I haven't heard any voices today, so we can assume they are still not here. And I believe you should also get ready, Sir. The flying beasts horde would come in five minutes. The battlefield most likely situated between the middle and left armies. If possible, I want you to get closer to the middle army instead of the left army.

"Although the left army is better in dealing with magical beasts with a high number of gunners, they have taken more magical beasts than any other armies, so…" Kai didn't continue.

"I see. If I am the enemy, I will move a portion of magical beasts and rout the left army first. However, if we are closer to the right army, we can send reinforcement to chase the magical beasts in case they attack the left army…" General Sanders realized his plan instantly. "When are you going to make the wall?"

"In a minute or so, until the magical beasts in the right army almost reached three thousand," Kai answered without hesitation.

"Alright. Just beware that the army might pull some kind of stunt sooner or later." General Sanders turned around and left without waiting for Kai's reply.

In exactly a minute later, Kai rose from his seat and ordered. "Wall."

With just a single word from him, the middle army quickly realized what they needed to do, or at least Jack.

He roared to the soldiers. "Here it comes, soldiers. The two reserves will go flanks on our right to stop the enemy advance and form a wall. We will keep a portion of them on us while directing the rest to the left army."

As soon as they heard the command, four hundred fighters went around, cutting off the magical beasts' flow to the right army. They created a formation to receive the magical beasts before erecting a barrier.

Unbeknownst to them, Tasha and Michelle were planning something. As soon as there was a stop in the flow, a few magical beasts turned around to help the others, but Michelle intercepted them.

She clapped her hand, created a magic circle to envelop more than fifty giant sea creatures and teleported them to the sky.

The battle was hard-fought, so the soldiers had yet to realize what was going on until the magical beasts were low enough to come into the scope of their views. It was at this time, their focus was distracted a bit and glanced at the sky.

Jack quickly realized what this was and laughed. "Gahaha, It's really a magical beast rain. This is really hilarious!"

"Boom Boom Boom!" The giant creatures fell down on the magical beasts, killing both of them instantly. It spread around the area and stopped the momentum, giving a chance to the soldiers to reinforce the wall.

At the same time, Michelle appeared out of the blue, slashing her sword downwards.

"Shadow Slash!"

The sword shot out a powerful sword strike and left a dark fire on its trail. She aimed perfectly where the wall should be. With this position, the soldiers could easily topple the sea creatures and direct them to the left. If Jack were not stupid, she would play along with this plan.

As she predicted, Jack quickly recognized the black fire and thrilled with it. "Haha… those two girls are really the best. As one would expect from two S rank magicians."

He quickly shouted. "Soldiers. Follow the black fire and set up two layers of defense behind it. Hurry up before the magical beasts realize they could cross the black fire easily."

The soldiers had their captains that took charge of them and quickly set up the defense according to the plan. The gunners behind them went around to the back of the new set up defense.

With the momentum on the right and the wall in front, the magical beasts would have no choice other than to the left.

"This will quickly make the left busy and maybe put some expression in that cold beauty," Jack smirked, picturing Sarah's surprised face.
