Chapter 303 The Crane Vs. The Gorilla!
[The general's heartbeat!], a necessary skill every three-star general or above must have.
This skill consists of infusing his will in his troops to protect them not only from the spells of the debuffs but also to strengthen their wills, their bloodthirst, and above all, prevent them from having paper morals.
The higher the rank of a general, the more he will excel in mastering this skill.
Groatian is a good example that was able to instantly change the will and morals of demonic troops almost instantly.
Apart from this competence, there are also military strategies, also called war fields!
Like any army, the mages also naturally have military strategies categorized by rank.
First, there are, so far, three types of military strategies, mortal, divine, and primordial levels.
-A general of one to two stars will be able to apply strategies of military strategies of mortal rank that do not require the creation and fusion of the divine domains of troops. But despite everything, a general of a star must necessarily be an emperor mage or above to be able to hope to apply such schemes in a battle.
-It is also the same for divine military strategies that can only be used by a three-star general who must at least be a low-ranking divine mage.
And just like ranks, divine military strategies are also categorized as low, intermediate, and high levels.
Low are the war fields that force a general to share his divine domain with his squad to strengthen them.
Intermediates consist of merging the divine domains of an entire army to manifest a beast that has a strengthening attribute, such as the gorilla that appeared after the fusion of the divine domains of the demonic army.
But to reach such a level, the army must consist only of divine mages. The higher the number of the army, the more powerful and destructive the manifestation of the field will become!
Soldiers will be able to have the strength of intermediate divine mages even if they are only low-ranking divine mages!
And finally, there are the divine war fields of the high ranks!
These fields are the most powerful, and the conditions for their activations, in addition to meeting the quotas of average divine war fields, the general must at least be a high-ranking divine mage with a general grade of four to five stars.
But that's not all; the army behind him must only be made up of the intermediate divine mages!
-Apart from these two strategies, there are also the military strategies of primordial rank!
...
That's why, just seeing Groatian's skills, Fyora could conclude that he was a general of at least four stars.
But despite everything, Groatian could not fight with one of the high-ranking divine strategies since his army did not meet all the conditions.
"If you had uncovered us from the beginning, we would have no chance against you, but now it's different." She murmured with a sarcastic smile.
"GIVE THIS FUCKING BIRD SHINE IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR!" She then thundered, ordering the men of her squad to manifest their divine domains and merge them with the others'!
-HOOO!!!
As soon as she gave this order to the members of her own squad, they extended their divine domains that merged. At the same time, the body of the divine Royal crane manifested itself, instantly connecting its two wings to its titanic body!
-Shriiiillll
It then majestically whistled as it took off in the air, instantly cleaning the bloody mist around the artificial forest with its wing's winds!
The Royal crane halo, which consists only of the fusion of the divine domains of the three Alvine squads, with its gigantic wings, long legs, and sharp beak, each of which is as solid and sharp with a penetration force that was no less powerful than that of a divine weapon; flew around the halo of the gigantic gorilla who waited patiently on the ground and
In its crowned head, none other than Fyora resided there and was also the brain of this military strategy and the person who controlled the movements of the Royal crane.
"Don't be scared! If they have the advantage of the sky, we are the immutable tanks of the earth! Our strength is more powerful than theirs; as long as we stay focused, we will have the opportunity to capture this fucking giant bird that only depends on its speed!" Groatian's imperial voice also thundered in the head of the gorilla halo that was not disadvantaged in size in front of Fyora's Royal crane!
At that moment, the crane gained altitude and arched its wings, preparing for a dive toward its target as if it had just seen a fish in a marsh!
-Woooshhh!!
Like a gigantic meteorite, it plunged towards the gorilla with its long sharp beak of several fifty meters!
-Groaaaath!!
Seeing its enemy's attack, the gorilla screamed in indignation and bombed its chest, hammering it with its thick arms, and jumped towards the crane!
BANGGGGG!!
When the two crossed, the deafening impact force created an explosive magnetic field that shaved half of the artificial forest that stretched tens of kilometers!
Simultaneously, the gorilla's punch hammered the left wing of the royal crane, instantly killing a few dozen men from the delta squad!
But the gorilla was also not unscathed either; the beak of the crane left a deep hole in its chest, taking hundreds of men, already exhausted, from Groatian to their graves!
-Koff, Koff!!
'Tsk, these people are tougher than expected.' Fyora replied, wiping the trickle of blood on her lips.
As the brain of the formation, she and Groatian were the ones who received more damage than the others. It was the sacrifice and disadvantage of military strategies; therefore, it was imperative to have a general ready to sacrifice everything for the survival of his squad!
At the same time, the two divine beasts moved away to reconstruct their formations and regenerate the damaged parts of their body.
But unlike them, Groatian took advantage of this fault and created a gigantic lava sphere in front of the gorilla's mouth to bomb the crane!
"Fuck! This bastard no longer cares about the lives of his men!" She slams her tongue with frustration when she sees the reckless decision of their enemies!
-At my command, we will go to phase two of our military strategy! Delta general, focus on the healing of your men!
-Gamma general, help me create an offensive attack! We cannot afford to persist in the battle; the formation is too powerful for our three squads together! Keep nothing in reserve; give your best! we must not underestimate the attack of our prey despite their lamentable states!" She quickly reorganized her troops the second after!
Following her orders, the left wing of the royal crane retracted from its body. In contrast, the crane's body and right wing shone with a blinding golden glow because of the amount of phenomenal energy provided by the troops of Barade and the soldiers of de Fyora to the latter, who was housed in the skull of the crane.
-Graaagh!!
At the same time, the gigantic spherical lava pulled towards the giant crane that had lost its ability to fly because of its damaged left wing!
But contrary to what Groatian imagined, Fyora did not just defend themselves; she also went on the offensive!
-Shriiiill!!
Almost instantly, the crane's beak lit up after Fyora received all the help from her subordinates.
She concentrated all the energy of her troops and, in turn, shot a golden arrow that impacted the lava sphere!
-Ka-Boomm!!
When the two magical attacks impacted each other, the two crossings of forces came into conflict to conquer the territory of the other!
"Delta squad! It's up to us to play!" While the forces were almost equal, Myulan's high-pitched voice echoed in the surroundings!
The left wing of the royal crane slowly widens because of its weakness! But despite everything, the energy she was able to provide will instantly change the situation!
"Sigh, why is this girl so motivated?" Fyora frowned when she saw the brave actions of General delta.
But just by seeing the thin smile that emerged on the corners of her lips, anyone could guess that she was not dissatisfied with Myulan's decision!
Following the bold actions of General Delta (Myulan), the left wing of the royal crane also began to shine because of the energy provided by Myulan and the members of his squad in Fyora!
Thanks to this additional energy provided by the delta squad, the power of the royal crane attack suddenly increased tenfold!
-Plouf-Bomm!!
And now that the divine formation of the 'crane wings' was complete, the latter finally showed all its devastating power!
Instead of pushing back the magmatic sphere, the royal crane's magic arrow pierced it and exploded it into a magma particle, and continued its way to the gorilla!
"!"
Seeing the inevitable happen, Groatian, always in the brain of the formation, abandoned his position as supreme commander and jumped out of the formation to avoid the blinding laser!
But despite everything, the left part of his body was not spared by the halo of light. At the same time, the arrow pierced the gorilla's skull and divided its body into two distinct parts, taking with it eighty-nineteen percent of the demons into their graves!
And as the military formations share part of the damage with the other members, the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the forced breakdown of their strategic military created a counterattack that killed most of the other demons with it, leaving only a few dozen hundred in agony!
"Break the formation!" Fyora ordered instantly after finally conquering the victory she had been waiting for several days!
"Delta squad! No prisoners, Kill the bastards who still breathe!" Simultaneously, Myulan's excited voice resounded once again, leaving Fyora speechless.
"... I guess she wants to avenge the few men she lost." She murmured as she watched Myulan sprint towards the piles of corpses with hateful eyes that shone with their bloodthirsty!
"Heh, I guess it's more a matter of revenge." Barade lands next to Fyora with glittering sweat pearls on his forehead and exhausted eyes.
Hearing his words, Fyora only had a slight frown, but she did not ask more.
"It was a great beautiful battle, beta general!" He continued, seeing Fyora's silence.
"Yes, but we have this for a few victims lamented. There's no real victory or defeat in this kind of confrontation; only survivors and lucky ones." She commented with an evasive look.
"... Luck is also part of our destiny."
"... Sigh, you're not wrong, gamma general." She also nods with a slight nod.
"Gamma general, let delta general take care of the cleanings. As for you, organize the troops and care for the wounded in an emergency." She continued with pupils that suddenly sparkled with a more golden glow as she looked far with her magical perception.
"At your command, beta General. But, can I know what you intend to do?" Barade asked after accepting his new mission.
"The Lord's orders are clear, no survivor!"
"Um, so, do you intend to pursue the rat that escaped at the last minute?"
"Tsk, Tsk, this bastard lost all my respect from the moment he abandoned his troops to prioritize his own survival. If he had maintained his position until the end, who knows, maybe the battle would continue, even if he could not be alive now. It is an absolute taboo for a general to abandon his troops, regardless of the dangers or his justifications!" By retorting these words, her body disappeared in front of Barade.
