350 I’m a Lone Warrior, Leader
"What did you just say? They are dead?" Finley found it hard to believe what he was hearing.
He sent five thousand troops to Freyfall and Azlance cities yesterday. Two of them were even at the Grandmaster rank.
Even if they were up against a powerful enemy, one of them should be able to come back alive.
So how?
How could they all die?
It should be almost impossible for all of them to die unless awakeners at the Exalted rank with many underlings attacked them. However, awakeners at the Exalted rank would not attack a group of people randomly, especially when they were carrying the flag of a kingdom.
So, who killed them all?
After thinking for several seconds, Finley suddenly thought of something.
'Don't tell me…'
He suddenly thought of Ace and his followers.
"Did magical beasts attack them?" Finley wanted to know whether his guess was right or not.
"From the information, we also suspect they were killed by magical beasts because the way they died was so cruel and brutal." Asher told Finley about the state of the bodies of Captain Daniel and the others.
"Damn it!" Finley could not control his emotions anymore.
Five subordinates.
In just two days, he lost five powerful subordinates.
Even if he had many soldiers, awakeners at the Grandmaster rank were still important. Due to how important they were, one awakener at the Grandmaster rank even could change the outcome of the war because they possessed great strength.
"Fuck!!" an angry aura burst out of Finley's body
Lieutenant Andrew, Lieutenant Arnaf, and Brigade General Victoria were still being treated in the hospital.
That meant, there was only one high-ranking person in the army.
Lieutenant General Ben.
Apart from him, the rest were just ordinary soldiers.
Even if they had numbers, they could not be compared to the five awakeners at the Grandmaster rank because most of the troops were only at the Elite rank. "Your Majesty, should we inform this to Clay and Deon?" Asher inquired.
Clay and Deon thought Finley did not keep his promise, so he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. "No need." Finley believed Clay, Deon, and their people had died, so from his point of view, it was a useless action.
"Then what should we do now, Your Majesty?" Asher threw another question at Finley.
"You go check the entrance gate. I will meet Lieutenant General Ben now." After saying that, Finley headed to the military headquarters.
"Understood." Asher responded. ----
The following morning, Finley and his subordinates guarded the entrance gate. Ace attacked the entrance gate two days in a row, so they thought Ace would cause trouble again.
However, their guess was wrong because Ace and his underlings did not appear that day.
The following day, they guarded the entrance gate again, but Ace and his followers did not appear again.
Finley felt uneasy with the situation, so he formed two groups to investigate it. Each group had ten members and all of them were awakeners at the Master rank.
"Remember. Your job is just to find out what he is doing and what his plans are." Finley reminded his subordinates again. "Do not fight him or his subordinates. Let me know immediately if you get any information about them. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Your Majesty." They answered in unison.
"Good! You can leave now." Finley uttered. Without waiting for another second, they left.
----
Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it had been three weeks since the last time Ace caused trouble at the entrance gate. As Finley's subordinates were guarding the entrance gate, Ace and his followers recruited more magical beasts to be on his side.
If previously Ace had seventy thousand followers, he had one hundred and fifty thousand subordinates now.
That number was enough to ravage any city.
However, it was not enough to destroy the Xiriel kingdom because one of his subordinates said the Xiriel Kingdom had two hundred to three hundred thousand troops.
For this reason, he kept recruiting more magical beasts.
----
"Boss, our number is two hundred and twenty thousand now." Fyre spoke abruptly. "When are we going to attack the Xiriel Kingdom? My hands are itching to kill humans again." Fyre and the others were currently in a forest far away from the Xiriel Kingdom. Ace had recruited all the magical beasts around the Xiriel Kingdom, so he went further away to find more magical beasts. "Alright. Let's discuss our plan now." Ace also could not wait to attack the Xiriel Kingdom because he wanted to kill Finley as quickly as possible.
"Boss, why do we need to make a plan? Let's attack them directly like brave warriors." Fyre suggested that they use the full-frontal assault strategy.
"We will attack them directly, but we also need a plan." Ace wanted to increase their chances of winning because it was related to his future.
"Leader, we are not good at using our brains, so…" Adra and the others never used any plans when they wanted to attack their enemies, so they did not know how to make a good plan.
"Well, I have a simple plan." Ace's underlings were magical beasts, so he could not make any amazing plans because humans and magical beasts were different. "What is your plan, leader?" Calne asked curiously.
"It's like this…" Ace began explaining his simple plan.
He said he would divide them into four groups.
Hyzi would be the leader of group one.
Ace chose Fyre to be the leader of group two.
Calne was the leader of group three and Adra was the leader of group four.
Each group would lead fifty thousand magical beasts and had one task. Groups one and two would attack their enemies directly from close range.
Group three would attack the enemy from afar and group four would attack from the air.
"It's simple, right?" Ace said after explaining his plan. "Leader, you should choose Fyre or Hyzi as the leader of group four because they can fly." Adra was a leopard and had no wings like Fyre, so he could not fly.
Ace shifted his gaze from Adra to Fyre. "Then Fyre, you will be the leader of group four, while Adra will take your place." "Boss, can I not be the group leader?" Fyre refused instantly. "I'm a lone warrior, so I prefer to fight alone and freely." The corner of Ace's lips twitched. 'What do you mean by saying you are a lone warrior?'
Fyre had seven thousand underlings when he met him, so he was not a lone warrior.
"Then how about you make Silvia the leader of group four?" Fyre uttered, "She killed a high-ranking person last time, so she is suitable to be the leader of group four."
Ace shifted his gaze to Silvia. "Silvia, you will be the leader of group four."
"Understood, leader." Silvia accepted it immediately.
"Alright. We have made our plan, so let's go to the Xiriel Kingdom now." Ace uttered.
"Let's go to the Xiriel Kingdon and destroy it." "Let's go to the Xiriel Kingdon and destroy it." "Let's go to the Xiriel Kingdon and destroy it." Fyre and the others shouted in unison. And with that, they headed to the Xiriel Kingdom to attack it.
