Ange didn't have to wait long before the Foul Spirits launched a fierce assault on the defensive line. After this period of fighting, the Foul Spirits had figured out the Archer Regiment's range and generally avoided getting too close to their effective firing distance. Instead, they would taunt and howl from outside the range, attempting to provoke the humans.
To counter this, the commanders adjusted their tactics, arranging for the Infantry Regiment to engage the Foul Spirits in close-quarters combat. The Infantry Regiment was deployed to the front lines to clash with the Foul Spirits. If they encountered overwhelming pressure, the Infantry Regiment could retreat back within the defensive line at any time, allowing the archers to suppress the enemy and strike down any Foul Spirits that weren't driven back.
Ange and his teammates received orders and quickly entered combat readiness. They formed up at the forefront of the defensive line, preparing to meet the Foul Spirits' attack. Ange felt the difference his new equipment made; his dual-bladed axe swung with ease in combat, and the sturdiness of his shield offered great protection.
When the Foul Spirits charged again, Ange and his comrades met them head-on. Although the Foul Spirits' taunts and provocations were annoying, Ange's mindset had completely changed. He focused on the fight, using the dual attack of his axe and the defense of his shield to continuously repel the Foul Spirits' advances. As the battle wore on, Ange gradually found his rhythm in fighting the Foul Spirits.
On the first day of the rotation, Ange's company was quickly dispatched to engage the Foul Spirits. Faced with the taunting and provoking Foul Spirits, Ange's unique equipment drew their particular attention. Seeing that Ange's attire was different from other Warriors, the Foul Spirits let out ferocious roars, fixing their gaze on Ange with intense hostility.
Sensing the Foul Spirits' malice, Ange showed no fear. He let out a roar, striking his shield forcefully with the flat of his axe, creating a deafening clang in response to their provocation. This courage ignited even greater anger and impulse in the Foul Spirits, and some of them immediately rushed towards Ange, unable to wait.
Ange reacted quickly, pressing down hard on his right leg and using the ground's phản lực to prepare for the incoming enemies with a more stable stance. He swung his dual-bladed axe to meet the charging Foul Spirits, while other Warriors also moved swiftly, engaging in fierce combat with the Foul Spirits.
On the battlefield, Ange and the Foul Spirits clashed repeatedly, axe blades striking the Foul Spirits' skin, and shields blocking their attacks. The fighting around them was also intense, with the soldiers of the Infantry Regiment resisting fiercely, while the Foul Spirits charged with savage ferocity. Ange's performance drew the attention of his comrades, who also threw themselves into the fight, forming a strong defensive line in an attempt to repel the Foul Spirits' assault.
Amidst the din of battle, Ange fought with all his might, every strike filled with power and determination.
The Foul Spirits' claws struck Ange's shield heavily. Ange preemptively channeled his Qi force into the shield, parrying the blow and pushing the shield upward. The Qi force circulated rapidly within Ange, making him feel as if he had inexhaustible strength. Ange activated his enchanted battle axe, slashing upward at the Foul Spirit's body. The Qi force attached to the axe blade, easily slicing through the Foul Spirit's skin, eliciting a pained howl.
Seizing the opportunity while the Foul Spirit was in pain, Ange quickly pushed his battle axe forward, thrusting it into the Foul Spirit's body. The Foul Spirit raised its arm to smash down at Ange, but Ange blocked the attack with his shield while furiously hacking at the Foul Spirit's body. Each blow carried immense Qi force and determination, and soon Ange found an opening, delivering a powerful chop that severed one of the Foul Spirit's arms.
The Foul Spirit, now missing an arm, howled in pain. The other Warriors quickly seized this chance, using their greatswords to lop off the Foul Spirit's head. Ange and his surrounding comrades cooperated seamlessly, performing excellently in this battle. Ange's bravery and composure inspired his comrades, and together they killed several Foul Spirits, successfully repelling the enemy's attack.
As the battle continued, Ange gradually adapted to the characteristics of his new equipment, his attacks becoming more precise and powerful with each strike. He fought side-by-side with his comrades, with tenacious fighting spirit and harmonious coordination, they withstood the Foul Spirits' fierce assault. The battlefield was filled with the sounds of slaughter.
Soon, the Foul Spirits were driven back, and the battlefield gradually returned to peace. However, this battle was not without cost; some Warriors tragically lost their lives in the clashes with the Foul Spirits. The Warriors, disregarding the danger and braving the Foul Spirits' counterattacks, retrieved their fallen comrades' bodies back to the camp and cremated them according to tradition, as a sign of respect.
Ange's performance in battle surprised many. His bravery and composure made him stand out in combat. However, some believed that Ange's performance was due to his sharp weapons. Ange's battle axe could easily slice through the Foul Spirits' skin, which many envied. In contrast, they had to exert all their strength just to wound a Foul Spirit, and if their Qi force was insufficient, it could even lead to the failure of the enchantment array on their longswords, rendering them ineffective against the Foul Spirits.
In reality, many did not know that Ange's control over Qi force was already excellent, even surpassing many veteran Level 1 Warriors. He could precisely channel Qi force into his weapons, maximizing their power. This was not just an advantage of the weapon, but a testament to his own strength.
Upon returning to the camp, Ange quietly organized his equipment while also reflecting on every detail of the battle.
In the following days, the Foul Spirits challenged them almost daily, provoking the human defensive line. Ange's unit was also dispatched to the front lines to respond multiple times. After these few battles, Ange gained a clearer understanding of his combat capabilities. He found that when fighting Foul Spirits one-on-one, most of the Foul Spirits encountered in these past few days were no match for him. However, he also clearly realized that the Foul Spirits' strength was significantly greater than his own, as he was still only a Senior Squire.
During this period, Ange also noticed some abnormalities. He found that his Qi force seemed to contain something unknown, which made his combat performance exceptionally outstanding. Not only that, but his stamina recovery and his body's recovery speed after injury were also much faster than other Warriors. After each battle, while other Warriors were still recuperating, Ange had almost fully recovered.
Ange began to seriously consider the reasons for these changes. He speculated that it might be related to his experience of transmigrating, or perhaps his body was undergoing changes he was unaware of during his meditation and cultivation of Qi force. Regardless of the reason, Ange understood that these abilities were crucial for his survival and victory on the battlefield.
As the fighting continued, Ange gradually adapted to life in the Infantry Regiment. He not only forged deep friendships with his comrades but also continuously improved his combat skills and tactical awareness. Every clash with the Foul Spirits was an opportunity for him to hone himself, making him more resilient and stronger.
In recent days, Ange has been training hard. He has been continuously increasing the intensity of his training, hoping to use this pressure to enhance his strength. He desperately wants to become a Level 1 Warrior, as the power gap with the Foul Spirits still makes him uneasy. Every heavy blow from a Foul Spirit causes Ange extreme discomfort. Although his recovery speed is fast, the impact from being struck by such immense power still places a heavy burden on his body.
More troublingly, Ange found that after each heavy blow, the Qi force circulation within his body would be affected, becoming sluggish. To solve this problem, Ange began to seek advice from the Warriors in the Infantry Regiment, asking almost everyone he met how they became Level 1 Warriors.
The Warriors shared their experiences and insights. Some advised him to focus on fundamental training, especially improving strength and endurance; others emphasized the control and application of Qi force, suggesting he meditate and train his Qi force more; still others shared their combat techniques and experiences, teaching him how to better use his shield and battle axe for defense and offense.
Ange humbly accepted every piece of advice and incorporated it into his training. He woke up early every morning for long sessions of physical training, including running, weight training, and strength training. He also spent a lot of time meditating and practicing Qi force control, striving to make his Qi force circulation smoother and more powerful.
In addition to physical and Qi force training, Ange repeatedly practiced his combat skills. He simulated combat scenarios with Foul Spirits on the training grounds, trying various defensive and offensive strategies, and striving to improve his reaction speed and combat ability. He also engaged in sparring matches with his comrades, accumulating experience through actual combat, identifying his shortcomings, and making improvements.
Ange's hard work and diligent training gradually earned the recognition of his comrades. Although he was not yet a Level 1 Warrior, his performance in training and combat had already impressed everyone. Ange believed that as long as he persevered, he would definitely become a Level 1 Warrior and a truly indispensable member of the Infantry Regiment.
