Chapter 199: Good Work Ed

"This isn't their only force, they have back-" Before the man could continue to speak, one member of the Blood sect army entered the room. He was the one responsible for delivering news to the commanders, so he didn't need permission.

"We've noticed a small army of 10.000 approaching from the east." The information he provided picked the interest of the commanders except for the man with the missing arm.

"There will be another force coming from the west as well." He continued speaking as he had the same information as the informant.

"With such a small number, they won't be able to change anything. Get a detachment of 20.000 soldiers from both the left and right armies and have them engage with the new forces. Tell them to wash their necks if they fail." The supreme commander of the army spoke. He was a tall muscled man. He had short black hair and squinty black eyes. His rough yet calm voice seemed to complement his position. His mustache met up with his goatee and gave him a younger look even though he was in his forties.

"The war will be over as soon as the force we sent to Avalon returns. Once Arthur sees his kingdom in flames and his family in pieces, he won't be able to continue this war." The leader spoke as e squinted his eyes.

"Is that the only thing you managed to find out?" He turned around and looked at the man. It was not the informant, as he had already left to tell the armies.

"For the information, that is all. But I got a certain treat from killing that kid. A weapon I have never seen before. And I'm not talking about its type, no! Everything from quality to crafting technique, it has reached the top of all I have seen!"

Even the man with the missing arm was hyping up this weapon, it didn't seem like those present believed him. The other three commanders were two men and a woman.

One of them men had green eyes and hair. He had a face that seemed to enjoy solitude more than anything and didn't like the noise caused by the armless man. He was of average height and build and didn't seem to have any special features. He was in his late twenties.

The other man seemed to be rather old as his black hair had already started going grey. He rested a Nodachi, which was a long katana, on his shoulder. His eyes remained closed throughout the conversation, except for when the leader spoke.

The last member, the woman had silver hair and silver eyes. If Edward were here he'd see a certain resemblance to Lilliana whom he had met in Aaragon when he went to save Emilia. However, unlike Lilianna, she was rather short.

"It's this blade." The armless man brought out a black katana that let out a large amount of killing intent. Although it didn't have a sheath on, no one thought that it reduced from its quality. Everyone in the room felt it and turned their attention towards the man they had ignored. In reality, they were looking at the weapon he was holding.

"A brat like that had such a weapon on him?!" The old man looked astounded as he knew the rarity of Shusui. He stood up from his spot and looked like he wanted to jump and take it, but he relented from doing so.

"Did you get anything else from him?" The woman that teased him before asking him. Greed could be seen in her eyes.

"No. For some reason, he didn't have a spatial ring on him." As the armless man spoke, the others felt let down.

"Why did you bring out such a weapon? You could have kept it hidden and sold it for an unimaginable amount of money. Why did you show it to us if you know we might take it from you?" The leader brought up an interesting point. The other commanders were brought back to their senses and did indeed find it weird.

"I don't want the money, I want to be stronger! I'll give you this weapon if you promise to let me meet the sect master!" The armless man spoke as he approached the leader. The latter seemed to think about; even though he didn't need to do such a thing. He knew that he could make an empty promise and just kill the man in front of him. But, he had his pride and decided to do things how he sees fit.

"I accept." He said so and as the man walked further ahead to give him the weapon, something unthinkable happened. The man rushed at the leader and stabbed him with the sword.

"What do you think you're doing?!" The woman from earlier shouted as she couldn't believe what had happened.

"Indeed, what do you think you're doing? Do you believe you'll get me with such a stupid attack?" said the leader. He caught the sword with his bare hands. Since the attack was clumsy and weak, it didn't even injure him.

"I didn't even have such an idea, but one hour is almost up and I don't have a lot of time." The armless man's words surprised everyone as they didn't understand what he meant. Other than the leader, everyone stopped to think about it. The leader didn't care and attacked him. Such a thing was treason and the armless man needed to be executed in order to show his authority. He attacked his left side which was defenseless due to his missing arm.

A loud noise was heard as the leader's QI enhanced fist connected with the man's side. Or at least that's what he thought. Everyone looked aghast as if a ghost had just appeared in the room. In fact, it was indeed a ghost as Ed took the place of the armless man, and blocked the leader's fist with his arm.

"You're indeed worthy of leading such a big army, you monster. My arm is shattered." Ed smiled as he looked at his dangling left arm. The leader's attack could have pulverized him, but he managed to block most of the damage thanks to Ryuu and Ken.

"How are you still alive?!!" the commanders shouted, but they didn't care about such a thing. What they wanted to know was how he managed to trick all of them at once.

"I don't have the time for chit-chat. I'll come back for you all in a second, and I'll show you what it means to challenge us." Ed looked at all four of them and released a thick wave of killing intent, stopping them from approaching him.

"As for you, you can't remove your hand from the weapon, right? That's good." Ed looked at the leader as he had used his Telekinesis to bind his hand to Shusui. He let out a smile and the two of them disappeared from within the headquarters of the Blood sect army.

"You played me, you little bastard." The leader, named Harald, frowned as he looked at his surroundings. He was behind the coalition army, surrounded by the kings of the kingdoms that opposed Blood sect.

"We'll have you die right here. Good work Ed." Arthur spoke as he walked towards Harald.

Hello everyone! Harald's name isn't a typo. It's from the same origin as Bard and Audun's names and it means army commander(fitting right?)

Enjoy the chapter^^

Chapter 200: The Start of the Counterattack

"So this is why you had me send that detachment? To weaken the army and strike when I'm absent? Even if you do that, the detachment I sent will decimate whatever troops you had hidden. Plus, the detachment e sent towards Avalon will be back with the heads of your family soon." Harald didn't seem fazed with the forces surrounding him. Instead, he withdrew a Glaive and his QI started rumbling inside his body.

His words were meant to demoralize Ed and Arthur, but it didn't seem to affect them in any way. Elizabeth, Bella, Oliver and many others remained back in Avalon to maintain the order there. The fact that a detachment was sent to Avalon meant that they were in danger.

"Sieg. Show our guest what we prepared for him." As Ed spoke, a figure appeared next to him. Sieg bowed and disappeared, and after a couple of seconds, he came back with around 100 people. They were all zombies, raised through the magic of Sieg. Most of those present didn't know who they were, but Harald did.

"I caught these flies after they attacked my barrier," Sieg spoke and everyone could feel the aura of death surrounding him. He had created a barrier to surround the whole city of Avalon. Thanks to this, he couldn't participate much in the war as his magic was being drained by it. However, thanks to it, he was able to intercept the attack on Avalon and kill the thousand man squad. Even with his magic being bound by the barrier, it was a piece of cake to him. After the massacre, he chose the strongest hundred of that squad and turned them into zombies. They had lost most of their abilities, but they were still considered powerful.

"You…Just how much of our plan have you read?" Harald's eyes squinted as he looked at Ed. The latter smiled for a little and said, "Plan? You call this a plan? This is, at most, a child's play. Also, for the detachment you sent. They will get slaughtered." Ed said as he waved his left hand around. Harald frowned as he saw that since he was sure it couldn't be healed until months had passed.

"The ones they are fighting are not normal soldiers. They are Heavenly Establishment monsters that I hunted and controlled. All of them." Harald opened his eyes wide as he couldn't accept what was just told to him. The fact that they could control 20.000 Heavenly Establishment monsters boggled the minds of even allies, let alone enemies.

"You are too dangerous to keep alive!" Harald dashed towards Ed, as he deemed his a danger to this world. He swung his Glaive at him but was thrown away by two people. It was Arthur and Akira, as they had intercepted his attack. Harald looked at them as if they were nothing but flies, but he needed to dodge an attack. Uther attacked him with his Glaive, scratching him in the process.

Suddenly, the earth started trembling, as if an earthquake was taking place. Everyone looked surprised except Ed, who looked at the back of the Blood sect army and saw a gigantic figure approaching them.

"Ah, the last reinforcement is here." A certain friend of Ed that he hadn't met since the days of the academy has finally appeared. In the distance, a huge earth golem could be seen, and on its shoulder, a black haired girl was sitting. The golem let out a deafening roar, letting its existence be known. The soldiers of the coalition army were afraid, as they thought Blood sect was getting reinforcements. But in fact, it was their reinforcement.

The golem broke into a sprint, this caused Ed to disappear and appear in front of it with his teleport. He looked at the figure on its shoulder and smiled. "Long time no see, Stephanie! I see you got my gift!" Ed looked at his friend. She was wearing a black battle dress that covered her. It was akin to her last name.

"Long time no see, Edward. My father and his troops will be here shortly." Stephanie looked at Ed and broke into a smile as tears filled her eyes. In the same direction of the golem's origin, a dust storm raised by soldiers was raised. It looked like they numbered over 50.000. 'It seems like Stephanie's kingdom committed most of their soldiers…' Ed knew that her kingdom was not a big one like Scale or Ryuu, but they still brought out so many soldiers. Ed couldn't help but feel grateful for them.

"Let's meet up with the others. I'll need you to protect me since I didn't tell them about parts of my plan hahaha!" Ed laughed as he put his hand on the golem that had stopped. He was thinking about the reaction of his friends as they find out about his survival. The only ones that knew about it were Hayato, Arthur, Eric, Griffin, Leonard, and Dean. The last four people were told only because they couldn't allow them to leave their post, as they were pivotal to the army. 'I'll need to excuse myself a lot, especially to Bard and Audun.' Ed thought to himself as he teleported.

Ed appeared above the soldiers that were fighting. He chose this place as it was the middle of the battlefield. The soldiers felt like their heart stopped due to the appearance of the golem, as it was tens of meters tall. They immediately broke off the engagement, and retreated, some afraid they would be crushed as they were too late to move. But, the golem never touched the ground. Ed controlled it with his QI and made it float. He didn't want to kill his allies for no reason. He only had it touch the ground once he saw that no one was there.

"All troops attention! You have done well. You have done great. You have fulfilled your duty and you have deserved a rest." Ed flew above the golem and let his voice be heard by his allies. But, they were confused as they thought he was dead. They also didn't understand what he meant by 'rest'.

"I did not die, but only left to draw out the supreme commander of the army!" Ed could understand what he was talking about, and explained. "Right now he is fighting the leaders of the army, and his death will only be a matter of time!" The soldiers turned around to see sparks and explosion to the back of their camp.

"THE WAR IS ALMOST OVER AND I WILL END IT!" Ed screamed and the soldiers cheered. To the left of the enemy, 10.000 monsters approached them as Goburou led them. To the right, another 10.000 rushed with Garu at their lead. To the back of the enemy, a small army of 50.000 people approached at top speed.

"Now, it's time for payback!" Ed spoke as he changed his gear. He appeared in black pants, a red shirt, and a pitch black coat. IT was the legendary equipment he had made from the Material Gacha. His companions appeared next to him, while his friends started flying towards him.
