章節 81: West battle

Why did Roan appear behind him so fast? The reason was simple, Roan had been behind the enemies' warriors to start with! The insides of the Varen Tribe were covered in darkness with almost no light to start with. He simply laid against the North Walls and used his Darkness Element to change his Spiritual Energy color. It was basically the same trick that he used against the Azure Hyenas.

At that time, Rean was together to bend the little light away from the darkness. But this time, Roan didn't need to since they had prepared the environment to be much darker than back then. With Rean and Roan as Foundation Establishment Realm cultivations and no leader, the enemies were quickly wiped out. The twins kept operating around the enemy's group, preventing a single one of them from escaping. Roan's objective was to not let them inform the outside about his and Rean's presence.

From their 50 or so warriors, only 3 died, and 7 got injured. As soon as this battle was over, Rean immediately used his Light Element to help the injured warriors to recover.

The Warriors were really shocked by Rean and Roan's strength. They were nervous at first when Juri told them to follow their orders. Fortunately, everyone trusts Juri's judgment. It was him that brought up the Tribe to what it was today, so they still obeyed his orders. Sure enough, seeing that they only lost 3 warriors while killing over 150 proved that Juri wasn't wrong.

As for Roan, he immediately dashed away when he was sure the battle was won. He went to the west side, where Alanda was defending.

The west and east sides did not have that enormous gap between the houses and the walls, there were just a few meters. That being said, there was enough space for the battle to happen.

Roan had only taken 50 of the 200 or so warriors of the Varen Tribe, leaving 75 for Alanda and Juri. Since he and Rean are Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they could do with a smaller number.

Alanda's west side battle started at the same time as the north and east. Back then, after the warriors learned to avoid the metal stakes on the ground, they did not find any resistance in front. Because of that, they waited for more of their companions to lend inside before moving forward as a group. This time, they were obviously using their Spiritual Sense to check the ground for more concealed traps.

What they didn't notice in the dark environment is that they were being led. Several wooden walls had been raised between the houses to make it look like they had always been there. If it was day, they would have noticed that they are quite new. But during the night, it was too hard to see.

Finally, they arrived in front of a street where the Varen Tribe warriors were making a line, waiting for them. The commander of this group, a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Warrior, came forward and looked at Alanda, who was in front of his Warriors group.

Using his Spiritual Sense, he noticed that Alanda is only an Initial Stage, so he wasn't the least bit afraid. He quickly looked around and understood what Alanda wanted. With little space to move, it would be hard to use their numbers' advantage.

"Hehe, cheap tricks."

But suddenly, something unexpected happened. Alanda pointed his sword forward and shouted.

"Attack!"

The commander was taken aback. He though that Alanda's group was going to keep a defensive attitude, it didn't pass through his mind that they would attack.

Still, he was just surprised, not afraid. He also pointed his sword forward, just like Alanda.

"Attack!"

At the same time, he sent a Spiritual Sense message to the warriors on the back of his group.

"The moment we clash against their group, jump over the houses, and circle around them. If they think we will follow their plans and fight in this closed space, they are severely underestimating us."

The commander took the front to stop Alanda, while the other warriors would hold the rest on the sides.

Seeing that, Alanda smiled and pointed his sword forward. Spiritual Energy and Wind Element started to gather around his sword while he retracted it. Just a second before both sides were about to collide against each other, Alanda thrust his sword forward.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

Alanda's control of this technique wasn't as good as Roan, but it was a lot stronger than Roan's attack back in the Jiran Forest. After all, Roan was only an Energy Gathering Realm at that time. Alanda decided to learn this technique first because it was the best one for his Wind Element. Thanks to that, it could travel much further, and his Foundation Establishment Realm made it a lot more powerful.

Swish!

The commander of that group was alarmed! That green like needle energy arrived in front of his heart almost instantly! He only had enough time to turn around his body, barely avoiding a fatal injury. Alanda didn't mind, though. His target wasn't the commander, but the packed group of warriors behind him!

*Puft, puft, puft, puft, puft, puft, puft, puft, puft, puft...*

In an instant, more than 20 warriors behind the commander were impaled. 10 or so died instantly, while most of the others received grievous wounds.

The commander was frightened by this attack's piercing power, he had never seen anything like that before. However, when he looked at Alanda once more, he noticed that he was already preparing to send another attack of the same type.

"Do you think there is no one here to stop you?!"

He pounced forward against Alanda and prevented him from using another Stellar Piecer. Alanda and the commander's weapons clashed while all the other warriors attacked their enemies on the sides.

The moment both sides reached each other, part o the enemy's group on the back immediately jumped over the houses. They were expecting to go around Alanda's group and eat them from both sides. This way, this closed space battle would turn into their advantage, and Alanda's group would have nowhere to flee.

However, seeing that scene, Alanda just smiled.

"Just as Roan said."
