Chapter 317
The soldiers of the Empire retreated in a defensive formation, their ranks tightened at the sight of the advancing Odrea army .
Noah's ploy had caused too many casualties in just a short amount of time, the sun was still high in the sky, the prospect of a prolonged battle couldn't help but worry the army of the Empire .
Defending was the best tactic in that type of situation, the monthly battles had a time limit after all, the Empire had to simply focus on defending till night if the situation became too one-sided .
Yet, at that time, the soldiers of the Empire found themselves outnumbered in just an hour, they already knew that most of them won't be able to survive .
The Odrea army didn't waste time, it launched another wave of spells and Instabilities before clashing on their enemies, Noah's weapon further diminished their numbers, creating openings where his allies could strike .
Noah, on the other hand, was simply using his First Form to pressure some blue cultivator .
He wanted to preserve as much "Breath" as he could, his plan protracted far after that battle .
Explosions rang out, the soldiers of the Odrea country were armed with the Hidden blasts and they didn't hesitate to use them, their enemies would often defend against an attack only to discover that a needle had slipped between them .
That was the battle tactic that the Odrea country had used in the past battles, the Hidden blasts were too small and sneaky, they could easily pierce the defenses of the Empire and cause great damage in its formation .
Also, even if some soldiers noticed them and tried to stop their course, they would just explode, giving an opportunity to their opponents to strike .
Little by little, the army of the Empire was being reduced to a small troop .
It couldn't be helped, the defending side usually held the advantage but Noah had caused too many deaths, they were too outnumbered to effectively defend against the relentless offensive .
Noah's new weapons had some role too in that outcome .
The new Hidden blasts caused more violent explosions, the red soldiers were usually able to survive the blasts of their previous version but the new ones could kill them on the spot!
A Mental tremor shot from Noah's eyes which was followed by a precisely timed wind slash .
A red cultivator in front of Noah lost his mental capabilities for one instant, allowing the slash to hit his neck .
The slash wasn't able to completely sever the head but it was enough to kill the soldier, Noah watched with cold eyes as the man unsuccessfully tried to stop the bleeding with his hands before life abandoned him .
'Eighteen… Damn, even by reducing the power of the Mental tremor, my mental energy is still depleting at high speed . '
Noah was doing his best to preserve some energy for after the battle, he knew that the next days would be crucial for his plan .
His gaze swept the battlefield, the Odrea nation was still pressing the remaining soldiers of the Empire, Noah could see one hundred red cultivators and a few dozen blue ones being assaulted by more than nine hundred cultivators, he knew that the Empire wouldn't be able to hold much longer .
'This should be their worst defeat… Refilling the ranks of the red soldiers will take a while and this training ground will become scarier, the Odrea nation should have it easy for a few months . '
