Chapter 275: Silver Sovereign
275 Silver Sovereign
The war continued. The people from the Southern Kingdom had the worst nightmare in their life. These five minutes felt like an eternity. The Soldiers were killed one by one by the angry Zhou's soldiers.
Soldiers from the Southern Kingdom tried to fight, but the Zhou Kingdom had the momentum in this battle.
But the battle shifted once again when the Martial Lords from the Zhou Kingdom that were rampaging around suddenly died and fell to the ground lifelessly.
When they saw the Martial Lords from the Zhou Kingdom died just like that, they were astounded.
Morgan didn't let it go. Even though he also didn't know what happened, he would take every chance he could use in this desperate situation.
"The Zhou Kingdom must use some evil medicine, and that is their retribution. Don't be afraid, Soldiers. If we can hold on for a little longer, the reinforcement from the Capital City will come." Morgan shouted as hard as he could to inform all of the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom.
"Ooh!"
The soldiers immediately cheered up once again after that rallying cry.
"Look at those Zhou's bastards! They could only rely on Evil Medicine. Without their medicine, can't you see they are not as strong as you? Take this chance now, and push back!" Morgan continued his rally cry to hype the soldiers as much as he can.
"Ooh!" The soldiers became energetic again. After that rallying cry, they finally realized that the Zhou Soldiers were not as strong as them at the same level.
Their power came back to their body in this desperate situation, and they used it to push back. Finally, the charge of Zhou soldiers was stopped by the soldiers.
Sadly, the situation was still in Zhou's favor, albeit slightly because of their number of Martial Lords.
At least, the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom were not easy to kill, like when their morale plummeted.
Alex tried to keep track of Zhou Kingdom's Martial Lords to see whether they would act recklessly once again by eating the Berserk Pill. But it seemed they didn't use it again.
Well, they indeed had dealt significant damage to the Southern Kingdom, albeit the cost was really high. In today's battle, the Southern Kingdom had around seventy thousand Soldiers and ten thousand from Mercenary camp.
The Zhou Kingdom had ten thousand soldiers in their main army and thirty thousand soldiers in their reinforcement.
But after five minutes of madness, Whether the Southern Kingdom or the Zhou Kingdom took notable damage.
The Southern Kingdom had lost more than twenty five thousand Soldiers, several Martial Lords, and five of their cannons in that madness. The Zhou Kingdom lost ten thousand of their army as well as more than a hundred of their Martial Lords.
It was truly like a struggle of a cornered animal. They didn't care about anything happening next and charged the hunter madly. Even if the hunter managed to kill them, they took considerable damage.
It was like the previous days' war was just a lie. They managed to kill that much within just five minutes because they didn't seem afraid to die and made a full-scale war.
In the previous days, they just made a small war to exhaust their enemy. They prioritized keeping their number high, or in other words, their safety. They didn't have that many casualties for a few days because of that.
In fact, this situation will soon change since the Martial Lords have died.
The Zhou will soon lose their momentum, and their killing rate will decrease. Although the number of deaths will keep increasing, there won't be any absurd fight again.
In this case, the Southern Kingdom had cornered the Zhou Kingdom, and this was their retaliation. If the Southern Kingdom, especially Morgan, believed the number that Putri provided, their casualties might not be that high.
"Don't mind about them. We still have the advantage." The leader of the Zhou Kingdom shouted to the soldiers.
Alex went back to catch up for a bit. The situation of the war had stabilized a bit. Those five minutes even gave him a chill.
After the berserk pill ended, Leoz started showing his fighting prowess. He cut down 3-Star or 4-Star Martial Lords one by one. He prioritized their high ranking figure first.
He felt that his Spear Arts were a bit lacking. He might need to get another Spear Art from the Martial Arts Pavilion... or from Zwaka's inheritance. He hadn't checked Zwaka's inheritances one by one.
Alex didn't have much time to use his spear in this world. So, a place like this where he could use his spear freely was precious. He trained his Silver Raven and Bear Sovereign in this battle. With the addition of his Spear Mastery, he finally realized another thing from them.
Silver Raven was an offensive spear art that focused on converting the energy and momentum to make far stronger power. The movement was simple and predictable, that was the weakness of this spear art.
In exchange, Bear Sovereign was a partially offensive and defensive spear art. This spear art was hard to master because of its variety of movements, so it required a good deal of mastery. But the variation itself was the best thing Alex could get in this spear art.
After acquiring the Spear Mastery and used this time to use his Spear, Alex finally understood. He found a possibility to fuse these two arts together.
If Silver Raven was simple, then he used the Bear Sovereign's variation of movement to fix its weakness. The Bear Sovereign was a powerful art that was hard to block, but it didn't deal that much damage to the enemy. He then used the power from Silver Raven.
His movement became a synergy with both arts. This chaotic situation where he couldn't let go of his focus was a good time to perfect this.
Although he had discovered this possibility a long time ago, he finally had the chance to realize it.
After taking a deep breath, he finally went to the crowd of the enemies once again.
"Silver Raven."
He thrust his spear and killed a low level Martial Grandmaster. He then noticed another soldier swung his sword toward him. He would use his Sky Movement to dodge this attack or block it with his spear.
But this time, he didn't need it.
He changed his center of gravity according to the Bear Sovereign and stabbed the guy's hand with the back of his spear. But he also included the power from Silvern Raven.
It immediately destroyed his hand. Alex then stabbed his heart, thus killing him. He moved to the next soldier over and over again. He was dancing on this battlefield with his combined spear arts.
He continued perfecting this movement. His awkward movement from the start slowly disappeared as his movement became precise and deathly. Until after an hour, he looked like he was dancing with his spear, killing the soldiers one by one.
It was not like two combination spear arts anymore, it slowly fused and became a single spear art. If Alex needed to name it, he would just put it together,
'Silver Sovereign'
Alex underestimated the power of this Silver Sovereign. At first, by combining the two spear arts, he expected to be like '1+1=2,' but it was not. His movement became more fluid and precise while his power became even more refined.
Both Silver Raven and Bear Sovereign were Mid Profound Tier Spear Art. But after Alex combined them, he felt that it might become High Profound Tier if not Heaven Tier Spear Art.
After all, he got this feeling. If he used this Spear Art to thrust his five layers Seven Stars Cut, he might be able to do it. But Alex only made this move for an hour, if he continued perfecting the move. It might be comparable to seven layers Seven Stars Cut.
After fighting that long, of course, he met Putri on the battlefield. Putri was entranced by his Silver Sovereign. She felt that his Silver Sovereign was similar to her sect Spear Art.
As another spear user, she could feel the power of that Spear Art. It was truly an amazing spear art. Of course, she didn't know it was Alex. She followed him unknowingly.
Every time he went to kill a soldier, she would also follow him to kill a soldier nearby. Alex didn't notice her since he was too focused on perfecting this spear art. He was thrilled to perfect this art as he couldn't hold the feeling inside his heart any longer and turned it into energy.
Sadly, when both of them like this, the war kept going on. Even though they lost a hundred Martial Lords, they didn't lose their momentum and kept pressing on the Southern Kingdom.
In an hour, the Southern Kingdom lost another two thousand soldiers while the Zhou Kingdom lost another a thousand soldiers. This one hour was incomparable to the first five minutes.
The soldiers regained their rationality and composure, so they fought like usual. They became more careful with their life, so the fight became slower.
Not long after that, Morgan finally found the leader who made this f*cking ruckus. He looked at the red-haired 9-Star Martial Lord. When Morgan found him, he immediately activated his Sword Domain and went to him.
He waved his sword to attack him.
"Purgatory Slash."
His sword became like a flamethrower and burst the flame out.
Of course, the red hair leader also noticed Morgan.
"Wind Barrier."
There was a circle made by wind in front of him. After noticing his attack, he immediately put his guard to block Morgan's attack. Of course, as a war minister from the Southern Kingdom, he was renowned.
After he blocked Morgan's attack, he glared at Morgan while saying spitefully. "You must be Morgan. If I kill you here, I can answer my king. Prepare to die!"
He also activated his Spear Domain. Sadly, his Spear Domain was not as powerful as Morgan's. Because of Blood Pills, he was not as strong as a normal cultivator, including his achievement in Spear.
His Spear Domain only had thirty meters radius. Even so, he tried to attack him with his spear. "For my king!"
"Three Mountain Spear!"
He thrust his spear as he used his Martial Arts. His spear suddenly got extended, reaching Morgan's neck.
"!!!" Morgan moved his body to dodge it. The power was strong as he covered his spear with his Spear Intent.
The spear shrank again after it missed its target. He misunderstood Morgan's action. He thought Morgan avoided his spear because he didn't expect it. He said arrogantly, "As long as I kill you, I can answer my king. I, Luo Tian, am the one who kills you."
"Three Mountain Spear!"
The spear extended again, wanting to match the length of three mountains.
Morgan didn't do anything for that attack because he wanted to confirm something. When he looked at the second attack, he snorted.
"Hmph, evil creature, I don't know where you got such power. But you are weaker than a normal cultivator! You think this puny skill can kill me?"
Morgan waved his sword to the side with his Sword Intent. He made the spear bent to the right. Eventually, it was only a Spear Art, not his actual Spear's Body. After getting bent like that, the Spear Art was broken.
"What?"
He was shocked that Morgan didn't seriously fight him. Morgan raised his sword.
"Purgatory Slash."
"Haha, that move again. I can block it as many times I want." Luo Tian laughed as he raised another barrier of wind.
"Wind Barrier."
He smugly blocked Morgan's attack before he suddenly noticed something wrong. He was pushed back by Morgan's attack as his Wind Barrier started breaking.
Morgan used this move again, but this time he infused his Sword Intent. On the other hand, Luo Tian had used his Spear Domain to soften the attack and Intent to strengthen the wind barrier because he thought Morgan would have done that too.
Sadly, he was mistaken. The wind barrier broke, and he was hit by his Sword Attack.
"Boom!"
He crashed to the ground with a dumbfounded face. When he recalled what happened, he immediately glared at Morgan. He rose from the ground and tried to attack him again.
"Moonstone Spear!"
