GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2302: Army Breaker.

Drinking energy water won’t replenish the spiritual energy he is consuming quickly because his rate of digesting energy water is slow. But the extra spiritual energy from drinking energy water is better than nothing.

The noble said to himself in encouragement, “I’ll just hold him back for a few seconds. Once the two armies clash, he won’t be able to take full advantage of the Army Breaker.”

The Army Breaker divine ability unites an army in body and mind, but its best effect is to conserve and increase the momentum of a charging army. This will make the army unstoppable when they collide with another army.

An army that collides with the Army Breaker will break apart like eggs smashing against rocks. This is where the divine ability gets its name. It is a divine ability for breaking other armies apart.

By disabling the Army Breaker divine ability now, the noble has deprived Isaac of being able to break his army with a single collision.

He plans to remove the ban after the two armies clash. But by then, it would be too late for Isaac to take advantage of the charge to smash his enemies apart.

Isaac expected this, but he didn’t mind it. He immediately redirected the extra power he had from the Army Breaker divine ability to his rank 2 Buff divine ability.

The Buff divine ability is a general-purpose enhancement divine ability. It is similar to the Heart of the Army divine ability, but it enhances everyone in the army equally instead of picking a few of the soldiers to concentrate the power of the army on.

Because the power of the army gained from the rank 1 Unity is spread throughout the army, the boost that everyone got from it is little. But it is still better than nothing, especially when this boost ensures that the stamina and toughness of the soldiers in the army will be supplemented.

Because of the boost from the Buff divine ability, Commander Isaac would be able to make his army smash with the other army. The effect won’t be as dramatic as that of Army Breaker but will still grant his army an advantage in the upcoming clash.

When he activated the Buff divine ability, the soldiers in his army glowed with a yellow light. This yellow light was dimmer and thinner than the one caused by Army Breaker, but it was still an indication that the soldiers of the army have become more than they should be.

The noble saw this and grumbled. He could only grumble, though. He didn’t have a good way to cancel the advantage of the Buff divine ability.

He had two divine abilities he could use to cancel the Buff divine ability. He could always use the Setting Rules divine ability to ban the Buff divine ability, or he could use his rank 2 Noble Suppression divine ability.

Unfortunately, he can’t use either one because they would cost a lot of spiritual energy. It would cost a lot of spiritual energy to ban Buff because the rule will take effect not only on Isaac, but it will also take effect on every knight on the battlefield.

The cost of using Setting Rules to ban the Buff divine ability on 2,000 knights would be astronomical. Using the Noble Suppression divine ability to suppress the enemy soldiers would also require a lot of spiritual energy.

If he were fighting on his territory and had the advantage of Land Sovereign, the cost of using the two divine abilities would be reduced by more than 90%, and he would be able to attempt them. But he is not on his territory, so he doesn’t dare try them.

He is not running low on spiritual energy right now. But if he doesn’t want to run out of spiritual energy and become utterly useless even before the two armies begin fighting, he will have to let Isaac have this advantage.

The noble stood his ground while the two armies moved closer and closer to each other. Everything looked similar to the previous times that the two armies had fought, but there were slight differences.

The first difference was that the nobles also have a knight in their army. The knight is rank 4, which is nowhere near strong enough to compete with Isaac.

Fortunately, the job of the knight is not to compete head-on with Commander Isaac. His job is to make the army stronger.

This knight is already doing a good job of it. He has already used rank 1 Unity, rank 2 Buff, and rank 4 Heart of the Army. This had strengthened his physical power to rank 6 and also enhanced the power of the army.

The benefit gained from the Buff of a rank 4 knight is not up to half of the one gained from a rank 6 knight, but it is better than nothing.

The presence of the knight and his use of the Buff divine ability is also a good reason for the noble not to expend so much spiritual energy to ban the Buff divine ability. After all, his army can also benefit from it.

The second difference in the army of the nobles is the presence of a rank 6 giant. The job of this giant is to take Isaac head-on.

The noble wasn’t willing to clash head-on with Isaac, and he wasn’t able to get a rank 6 knight to do that for him. But he was lucky enough to get a giant willing to do the dangerous work for him.

The giant was the one who stood at the head of the army in place of the noble. The noble was at the back commanding the army in safety, while the giant was the one wading in deep, dangerous waters.

But the giant wasn’t afraid. Far from it, the giant was glad to be here. He even had a grin on his face and his heart was beating wildy in anticipation of fighting Isaac the undefeated.
