Book 5-2.2
“After debating for a long time, I came to a single conclusion. Who dares to get in our way? Who out there is able to block our path?!”
This instantly brought complete silence to the warriors in front of him.
Just two sentences. These two sentences were able to get the warriors’ blood boiling and take over their hearts and minds.
“There’s not much to it. We just have to go fight. That is my method and that is the method to win.”
“Oooooooooooo~!”
There was no late voices. All of the warriors started to shout at the same time. They had to let this boiling sensation inside of them out even if it was just by shouting. They felt like they would burn alive if they could not even get it out that way.
“Oowaaaaaaaa~!”
That shout then turned into a cheer.
‘We will win. We have no choice but to win.’
They could not have any other thought and they should not have any other thought. They could only focus on winning, and let that thought control their mind.
“I am the Shuarei’s greatest warrior, as well as the War God of the Desert who has a bloodied shamshir. That is who Venersis is.”
“Oowaaaaaa~!”
The already excited warriors started to cheer once again.
The warrior in front of them, the warrior leading them, was that Venersis.
“Let’s go!”
Venersis, and the Shuarei, finally started to make their move.
“Now that it is right in front of us, I am starting to have some uncertainties.”
Vibli looked at the amount of enemy warriors that covered the desert in black before speaking to Yulian. Yulian looked toward Vibli as well.
With Runa remaining in Pareia, the very experienced Vibli was serving as Yulian’s assistant.
The thought that they were just going to fight without any plan did not sit well with neither Yulian nor Vibli.
In the desert, the number of warriors was extremely important. It was obvious that with the same set of circumstances, the side with more warriors had the advantage. Even still, Runa had mentioned that no strategy was required for this war. According to Runa, just a battle of strength was enough.
Since Runa was the one to say such a thing, they were going along with the plan even though they had some concerns about it.
The reason Runa said that was because he knew about Yulian’s amazing ability, as well as the fact that the ability shone brighter in chaotic battles.
The ability to see the entire battlefield as if it was on the palm of your hands. This unbelievable ability allowed a 360 degree view, as well as the details of the terrain, the difference between morale and the flow of the battle in every area of the battlefield.
At first, Yulian did not approve of this method no matter what Runa said. However, Runa just laughed as he responded.
“This is something I have personally witnessed with my own body. The Glow and Red Storm are something you cannot hold off unless you prepare your defenses at an oasis for a very long time. If you fight against them out in the desert in a battle of strength, you will win 100 out of 100 times.”
Yulian felt good about himself but thought it was too much as he responded back to Runa.
“Aren’t you over-evaluating me too much?”
“In a battle of strength between warriors, the only one who can fight against you is Venersis. When I fought against you as part of the Wikaly, I had an idea about the Glow’s ability. Even still, you surpassed my expectations and managed to defeat me. As for this rag-tag group of united tribes……”
“Hmm...if that is the case, why did you only send Greatest Warrior Egane and 10,000 warriors by land? You said I would win no matter what in a battle of strength.”
Runa lightly smiled as he responded to Yulian’s question.
“There is a limit to the number of people that can battle in an area. Shouldn’t we reduce the injuries as much as possible? Furthermore, 30,000 is the right number for the Glow to cause the most damage. They say more is better, but in an efficiency point of view, any more than 30,000 is difficult. That is why I said 40,000 warriors were enough from the beginning.”
“Mm……”
Seeing Yulian contemplating, Runa started to speak once more.
“Pareia’s warriors are like sharpened shamshirs right now. The moment it becomes difficult to tell friend or foe in a physical battle, the Glow needs to use his ability to quickly fix the formation to the most efficient one for the situation. Once you do that, the united forces will quickly start to crumble. Please remember that the majority of our training was focused on changing formations.”
Seeing Runa being so full of confidence, Yulian gave his approval. Once they landed on land, they just sent the patrol warriors forward with no plan in mind. They were just following behind the patrol warriors with the entire force as one.
After a couple of days, they finally heard that the united tribe’s warriors were setting up their formation about half a day’s distance away.
“I guess even Greatest Warrior Vibli gets nervous with the enemy in front of him.”
“Even though I have fought in thousands of battles, I always get nervous. It is especially the case this time because Assistant Warrior Runa’s plan is just too weird……”
It was not that Vibli did not believe in Yulian, the Red Storm, or even his own brandistock. Looking out, it really did seem like the enemy outnumbered them almost three to one. Other than when he was a young warrior, he had never charged out recklessly like this with no plan at all.
“Haha. We just need to trust him. Didn’t we cut a lot of time getting this far thanks to Runa? In addition, there was nothing wrong among the things he said. This is a blessing the heavens have given to our Pareia.”
“I am fully aware of the fact that Assistant Warrior Runa is very talented, but shouldn’t we reconsider a plan like this?”
Vibli was the most courageous of the third generation warriors. For someone like him to be this worried showed that it was indeed kind of a reckless plan.
Yulian looked to the left and right to see the endless number of the united tribe’s warriors. His heart was beating fast.
It suddenly gave him an odd thought. It was a childish thought of a child who had gained strength wanting to test his strength out against others.
“Let’s try engaging them at least once. I also do not think we will be pushed back too much.”
Once Yulian raised the captain flag to signal, the slightly tilted flags stood up straight and started to blow in the wind.
Booooooom. Booooooom.
The united tribe’s side started to bang their drums as if to say they will not be pushed back even the slightest bit.
Boom. Boom.
A fast drumming started to echo across Pareia’s formation as Yulian turned his pirma around and rushed out front. He then stood in the center of the two formations.
Yulian put on a smile that was overflowing with confidence as he looked toward the location of the united tribe’s lead flag.
He then lifted up his greatsword high into the air before pointing it toward them. It was a clear provocation, but there was no response from the united tribe. Who would dare to fight against the main character of so many rumors, Pareia’s Glow, the War God of the Eastern Desert?
“Oowaaaaaaa~!”
Seeing their Glow confidently stepping forward by himself to point the sword at the enemy and then not getting any result, the morale of Pareia’s warriors rose significantly. On the other hand, it was obvious that the united tribe’s warriors were losing their morale seeing that none of their Greatest Warriors were willing to step forward.
“I.”
Seeing nobody stepping forward to fight him, Yulian started to shout in a loud voice.
“Am the Glow of Pareia! Seeing that none of you are willing to step forward to fight me, why don’t you surrender and dream together about a changing nation?”
His voice was full of passion. Nobody could be free from Yulian’s words. That was the other gift that the heavens had bestowed upon Yulian. This was what fired up all of the chiefs in the tribe many many times until now.
Kinicks and Kupepa etc, just looked toward each other.
‘The more that Glow of Pareia continues to talk……”
The warriors will start to resonate with his speech.
But there was no need to fight in the enemy’s preferred method. They just needed to use a method that was advantageous for them.
The sound of drums and trumpets started to blow from the side of the united tribe as flags started to move left and right.
Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.
The warriors of the united tribe started to stomp their feet as they started to step forward one step at a time.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~
Not far behind was the sound of trumpets and drums from Pareia’s formation as they started to advance as well.
Both Pareia’s warriors as well as the united tribe’s warriors knew about the difference in the number of warriors. Even still, there was not a trace of fear in the eyes of Pareia’s warriors.
Instead, they seemed to have confident eyes that seemed certain of their victory.
“Let out the shout of victory. Show them the strength of Pareia’s warriors! Prove to them that the sweat you shed training for this day was enough to fill up an entire oasis!”
“Oowaaaaaaaa~”
The warriors started to resonate to Yulian’s loud voice.
“Charge!”
The moment the two formations were about to reach each other, Yulian shouted in an extremely loud voice as he started to rush forward.
Do do do do dooooo!
The sound of the pirmas pushing off the ground could be heard endlessly as Yulian suddenly jumped high into the air. Once he did, his greatsword seemed to shine under the bright desert sun.
Yulian had made up his mind a long time ago that he was going to attack at full strength from the beginning.
Arms and legs were flying in front of his eyes, and he made up his mind to not even blink of a head with both eyes still open flew by in front of him as well.
After slicing the warriors in his way into two, Yulian pushed into the enemy’s formation. The Red Storm quickly followed behind him.
They faced no difficulties. Nobody was able to stop them. Yulian went east when he wanted to go east, and south if he wanted to go south.
Before he knew it, the two formations clashed with the goal of killing each other.
