CHAPTER 7: FELLED WALLS

Liam could feel it as he walked through the ship’s hallways. The sounds of the troops getting ready for battle were almost rhythmic. Both times he’d participated in the siege, he hadn’t seen this much movement. It was clear that Arimiar was following his plan. All of the forces would be deployed at once.

Cinzolia Fortress’ two billion troops would finally meet their match in terms of numbers. And this was all due to Liam’s words. As he walked out of the ship through a hole that spontaneously appeared in the hull, as he usually did, he was met with the gazes of over a hundred thousand figures wearing the same black armor that he wore. It took some time, but he identified One and the other members of his squad in the crowd.

All the Elite Squads had gathered. The soldiers all stared at him silently, as if waiting for him to make a move. At the very front, a tall Drakkhan in navy blue battle armor stood with his back towards Liam. As the young man approached, the creature turned. Arimiar’s eyes were cold as steel. The protagonist of this plan met the Drakkhan’s gaze with equally determined eyes. He was the first to open his mouth in the silent atmosphere outside the ship.

“Be ready, Arimiar.”

The Elite Squads’ members immediately shifted uncomfortably. There were even signs of open hostility. It was clear that they weren’t used to having someone speak to their Commander so informally.

“I’m always ready. Worry about yourself. You’re gambling with your life on the line.”

“I’ve done so many, many times.”

The gamble that Arimiar referred to wasn’t the same that Liam spoke of. From the Commander’s point of view, Liam was taking the risk of having the Drakkhan retreat without him, leaving him behind to die under the weight of Cinzolia’s full force. Liam, on the other hand, was considerably more worried about failing to control his power properly or, in the worst-case scenario, having it run wild.

With words left unsaid between them, Liam crouched while the Commander looked at the gigantic fortress in the distance. Imbuing his voice with Aura and making it resonate for hundreds of meters, the young man gathered strength in his legs.

“Let’s go.”

The next moment, Liam shot forward, making the sand behind him explode. Using a combination of Waterstep and Aerial Movement, choosing which of the two was most optimal at every second, Liam moved at top speed. He could feel the Captains of the Elite Squads a bit behind him, but the ordinary members were starting to be left behind, while the ordinary Drakkahn troops moved by the hundreds of millions at a much more reasonable speed. Kilometers up ahead, the troops and Elite Squads on the field started moving differently. It was as if they were trying to create a clear path from Arimiar’s ship to the forcefield. Of course, such actions didn’t go unnoticed. The defenders intensified their attacks.

Liam did not care about any of this. He simply moved as fast as he could.
