Mikhail divided his troops in a manner to where the brutes were the front liners and the initiates were the support.
His virus squad was on stand-by just in case there was something that the regular units couldn't handle.
The tanks both gatling and lashers kept their distance to act as artillery, the psychic soldiers were kept as reserves as they are best as defensive troops should any enemy soldier manage to escape what's to come.
his personal favorite unit against any ARMORED warrior that decided to get to close to his base was magnetrons, these vehicles worked well against anyone clad in metal so whenever they happened to catch someone any anti-air units usually made quick work of them, which is why he had a good number of them around his turrets~
As he enjoyed passing the victims from one magnetron to another both in the game and his dreams!
Gamma was feeding him another fruit as he laid back in his chair as Krux was making an extra effort in massaging his neck and temples from behind while he took control of his only air unit that had been upgraded to match a 4th tier aura user.
What he liked about some of the upgrades that it received, was speed, lowered noise, four more laser beams, then finally a pseudo energy shield~
the last one was still in experimental stages, something that was meant for him in the near future when he ventures out to see the world, as there was never anything wrong with being too prepared.
Something that he learned throughout his dreams when he reached the pinnacle of power only to die to a stupid lucky 'protagonist-like' attack, then again no matter where you go there is always a protagonist somewhere, and mind you, each world he had been to usually had more than ten at a time!
But thanks to experiencing it so many damn times, it was like second nature to him to detect a protagonist, and one thing was for certain, there were over a hundred in this world!
this is why he was being meticulous!
this was why he was trying so hard to hide!
while he can't pinpoint where they are, only when they are within 100 meters would Mikhail properly discern who it was, the only irritating thing was he can't extend that even with the psychic tower, or even the radar for that matter.
But it's time to let his troops let loose, as they have been craving for a good fight especially the former slaves and cripples they all had a bone to pick with the united kingdom, so this was like a dream come true to many of them that suffered under the rule and powers of this powerful nation.
each brute was equipped with throwable weapons to help with their ranged enemies, their innate regeneration ability was upgraded to 10 times the normal, and the weakest of them can take on an apocalypse tank on their own with just that upgrade and beatdown another.
the initiates had their range upgraded to where anything within a thousand meters were doomed to die an unnatural death~
with better armor to increase their survivability, they can be considered as nightmares for the regular troops, with their upgraded control over psychic nature, and the elements it was like watching a bunch of element benders attacking soldiers that relied on questionable energy!
Mikhail was laughing out loud when the first initiate to attack imitated a certain sith as the said unit electrocuted a dozen soldiers that were grouped together!
He even yelled out in a joking tone while clapping.
"Hey, hey, hey, spare me from the copyright issues!"
The brutes at the front lines were kind of sad that they failed to draw first blood in this charge as those near the initiate looked back with 'really now?" looks on their faces, but that didn't lower their bloodlust at all~
As not even a few seconds later, They roared!
the ground shaking from their hatred to these soldiers of the very kingdom that ruined many of their lives just because the said kingdom sought to 'unite' this world under one banner.
The general Yelled out to awaken the soldiers that were fear-stricken by the appearance of these strange warriors that had appeared.
"Soldiers of the united kingdoms, STAND READY! SHIELD BEARERS TO THE FRONT!"
Thanks to the lack of trust the soldiers held for their own general, they moved much slower than before, fatigue was catching up to them too, and the stunt caused by the sith copycat made them afraid to gather together as even the recent events still haunted their minds.
But they still followed the orders given to them, it was something hammered into them and the magic words that rallied their spirits made them grit their teeth and do what they could!
One of the brutes charged forward so recklessly fueled by rage and a chance for some revenge, his large bulky frame, made some of the soldiers weak to the knees and squeaked in fear, the thick bloodlust each brute carried was due to many of them being fallen veterans, soldiers that were left barely alive to watch their homes and cities burn to the ground!
So it was no surprise that many of them would go as far as to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
the shield bearers activated their Artes that created large shields made of aura, just before the charging brute was about to grab the nearest Soldier!
*BOOOONNNNNGGGGGG!!!!*
the brute's flesh crashed heavily into the shield made of aura that rippled as the caster's feet were dragging along the for a few paces worth before stopping, with the amount of force behind that tackle they were all surprised about something else.
the Brute's hand hit the shield first, with his fingers twisted and broken as were the rest of his hand in a terrifying manner down to the wrist!
yet within, 5 seconds...
...the flesh was remade and was used to pound down on the shield!
Many of the soldiers, didn't like the sight of that, as that meant one thing high-speed regeneration!
The general, on the other hand, had a different thought in mind.
"don't tell me...!"
He kept a keen eye towards anything in range and what he could see, and the other charging large men all looked awfully similar to one another, so one dreadful theory came to mind as the rest of these abominations mindlessly charged into the aura shield...
What if they all had the same ability?
That was a scary thought!
How scary would it be to have 300 of these nearly immortal soldiers fight against his remaining tired troops?
His questions were quickly answered by the next brute that slammed into the shield even harder than the previous as his whole left arm was rendered mutilated by his own actions but just like the first his arm healed up just as fast before joining in at hammering his fists into the protective aura!
The Troops of the united kingdoms began their attack as the leftover archers fired their arrows managing to lodge one into a brute's eye!
but he had an interesting reaction as he made a typical brute sound which was.
"HUH!?"
the attack barely 'tickled' the brute as he finally noticed the arrow after realizing what happened just now before ripping it out with his eye now impaled on it!
He formed a scowl on his face crushing the arrow while roaring out as his fingers began to dig into the shield with his veins bulging and angrier than ever.
The sound of his flesh stretching and bones popping from his slight increase in body size didn't help either!
"I WILL BREAK YOU!!!"
One of the initiates created a large fireball that floated above the enemy then let it drop!
The ball of inferno covered the whole group as all of the shield bearers did their best to resist, while thinking of one thing that was told in legends...
Wizards!
the men and women in the rear were wizards!
As one of the soldiers just had to mention it out loud which lowered their morale and also alerted the general of such ideas!
"FUCK, why are we fighting FUCKING WIZARDS!"
But their moment of silence was ruined by the malicious laughter as one of the large brutes slammed his fists into the shield that protected them for only so long the tension grew as a few hundred more did the same trying to break through so mercilessly even at the cost of their own bodies!
The sound similar to a machine gun going off reverberated within the dome as the soldiers felt it in their bodies, this was not going to end well.
With little choice now, the general pulled out a particularly large and round metal mirror, before sending his aura into it as someone's face had appeared.
It was an old man, with a crown on his head with graying blonde hair, clean-shaven beard, and mustache, green eyes that carried a sinister light and excitement as he asked in a carefree manner as if expecting more than just good news.
"How goes the eradication of the- what's going on there!?"
Halfway through he happened to see the dire state his trusted general and troops were in, he looked at the sight with shock that was soon replaced by greed as he saw the 'magic' casted by the wizard, and the powerful bodies of the strange soldiers.
The general on the other hand missed that as he was more worried about getting some reinforcements, and staying alive as he broke his king from his stupor.
"My king, I request for more reinforcements, as i fear my men may not-"
*CRACK*
the aura shield that they had so much faith in cracked!
The general gulped before speaking in a more hasty manner to relay his request to his king, as they had more than enough troops that were capable of reaching the area in a short period of time.
But something circular emerged from out of the sky about them as it descended a little before five points of this floating object lit up then a beam of light struck their defensive dome of aura like lightning with a loud thunderclap that followed!
"MY KING! PLEASE SEND US SOME REINFORCEMENTS N-"
Again he was interrupted by a loud screeching sound, one of the brutes managed to punch through, with his arm just inches away from the shield-bearer as he reached out to the soldier with a look full of hate!
One of the nearby warriors hacked away at the arm, it took him eleven full strength with aura chops to finally cut the arm off as the gap closed.
The king was excited as he sent the order to send more troops as 1/5th of his army was heading there.
the reason being?
He wanted to somehow steal one of the large men to have his scientist integrate the regenerative abilities into his body, as he did with numerous other long-lived races that fell under his soldiers!
He licked his lips in excitement as some of his most powerful troops that were sent happened to be the Third most powerful army at his disposal that consisted of Sky wyvern riders!
