Chapter 185: One-Sided Slaughter
“Kill them!”
The aliens didn’t know what to do. On the one hand, they were following the command the juvenile class mutant gave. On the other hand, they were getting slaughtered without fighting back.
The juvenile class mutants noticed what was going on, especially since more and more aliens were packed together. It was getting hard to move.
Because the shield that Sullivan had prepared remained intact this whole time, they ended up falling into this trap.
As a result, Sullivan utilized it to contain the enemy and started compacting the size of their enemies.
They pushed the aliens more and more to the center. There was a time where the aliens couldn’t even lift their hands because there was simply no gap to move.
Only those at the edge could do something, but against the elite knights, they could do nothing but get killed one by one.
Sullivan and his officers kept commanding the army and made sure that the aliens couldn’t do anything to reduce the casualties.
Sullivan couldn’t believe that Nathan was able to give such a strategy, not realizing that Nathan simply recreated the famous battle on Earth between Carthaginians and Romans in the Battle of Cannae, while Sullivan made it so that it suited the battle against the aliens.
But this battle’s real target was not Sullivan. It was Yin Zhen.
“This is…” Yin Zhen gasped, staring at the battlefield. It was clear that the battle had turned into a one-sided slaughter.
He couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if he was in the middle of it. He might be able to get away by himself, but the rest of his people would definitely die.
Back then, Nathan told him to follow his order, but that order was simply to remain on standby as though he never planned to use his power.
Selena raised her head as if trying to see Nathan, who was located on the opposite side of the forest.
There were a lot of things she wanted to ask, but the result of the battle was already clear.
“With a lot of aliens dying, the knights will definitely win with minimal losses. Even a military general like Sir Sullivan won’t be able to do it so easily.
“And more importantly, the real purpose of this battle is to train those knights. Normally, the knights are fighting in a small squad, taking down several demons at a time.
“This is the first time they’re fighting in such a huge number. With this experience, they will become even more flexible. And there might even be a lot more opportunities to utilize different kinds of tactics. For Sullivan, this is indeed a good experience. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of knowledge about the war itself, so I can’t really say a lot.” Selena sighed.
Yin Zhen finally understood why Sasha and Risa accepted Nathan. It was because he had a solid performance.
It was true he made mistakes on this mission, but Yin Zhen couldn’t dismiss his accomplishment.
“But… where does he gain that kind of knowledge? Isn’t he supposed to be a commoner? In this world, a commoner doesn’t study military tactics,” asked Yin Zhen. No one would believe this tactic came from self-study.
Selena closed her eyes. If she didn’t know Nathan so well, she would believe that Nathan got this information from his familiars.
However, the more he used it, the more it felt like an excuse. It was as if he was hiding something.
Still, Selena couldn’t care less about it. Everyone had their secret. She hadn’t even told him about everything that happened in her family to Nathan, so she would only be a hypocrite to even mention anything about it.
Nathan had shown his sincerity, and there was no lie to it. If the other party wouldn’t want to share his story, she wouldn’t demand it. It wasn’t important to her anyway.
She pointed forward. “Look. It’s about time.”
As Selena said those words, the flying beasts suddenly jumped into the sky, creating a vacuum in the area.
With that gap, the aliens could finally move again. It seemed the mutants were able to realize they could take advantage of that gap to counterattack.
Now that they were free, the aliens started rampaging in all directions.
“Stop them!”
“Kill!”
The knights were fighting hard because the easy-to-kill aliens were no more. However, Sullivan should have noticed this. freewebnσvel.cm
In fact, he was aware of the reason the aliens didn’t use the flying aliens this whole time and only revealed it right now.
They had seen what he was capable of, so there was no way they would send their flying aliens to their deaths.
But they had been trapped, so the aliens had no other choice but to utilize them.
Unexpectedly, Sullivan only released his killing intent without actually killing them. It was as if he wanted to pressure those flying aliens to never come and aid their kin by attacking them from behind.
In the end, Sullivan had to act as a trainer for the next generation.
He would let the knights kill them by themselves.
Meanwhile, he waved his hand and shouted, “Their number is only half of us now. Kill all those aliens!”
“Oohhh!” The soldiers were excited.
That was right. The aliens might be fierce, but their number had been significantly reduced.
They kept exterminating the aliens. The juvenile class aliens fought hard to maintain the balance, but they gradually became suppressed as well.
As if knowing that there was nothing that could save these aliens, the mutants used the previous chaos to slip to the rear.
All of a sudden, both mutants emerged from the crowd and cut several elites, breaking through their formation. Even if they had to retreat, they would still kill a few human fighters.
“NO!”
“Sir!”
“They are running away!”
“Patch the hole!”
The knights gnashed their teeth, but several officers simply said, “No need to worry about those mutants. The commander has made an arrangement to deal with them.
His words were proven to be true a few seconds later as Nathan and Selena appeared from the opposite directions and blocked their path.
Nathan couldn’t help but smile, as if he had predicted all this. “Thought so.”
