Chapter 85

On the other hand, those who became her enemies were terrified from afar.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Gruk.

"Captain, Lord Ryan has given orders to temporarily Shally the Iron Blood Legion under Miss Shirley's command."

It was Blood Robe who arrived with Ryan's orders.

"Let her command?" Gruk's first reaction was to refuse, because only Predators could command the Iron Blood Legion. But when he saw the blood mist and the 'Shally' fighting in the blood shadows, he seemed to see Magana for a moment.

Your Grand Duke!

Looking back at the Grand Duke!

"Everyone, keep up!!" Gruk shouted. "Follow Miss Shally!"

Even though 'Shally's' extraordinary rank was not as high as his, Gruk knew that some people were born for the battlefield!

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The blood mist grew thicker and thicker, almost completely enveloping the entire rear base of the Kainter's army. The soldiers who had turned back to provide support were stunned as they watched the blood mist spreading in front of them.

Looking at the blood mist, they felt instinctively fearful and were unwilling to go deeper.

As the flaming debris rose into the sky, the commander of the Kainter army realized he had to save the food and supplies as quickly as possible—"Don't be afraid, don't be intimidated by these things, brave kingdom soldiers, kill them! Charge in!!"

Four thousand men charged into the blood mist. The commander's plan was to first rendezvous with the remaining troops. There were still more than three thousand men left there. Adding the number of soldiers he had, there were more than seven thousand. How could they possibly lose?

But after he rushed into the blood mist, he felt more and more uneasy. The dense mist seemed suffocating, and there seemed to be something strange in the blood mist that was frantically stimulating his brain nerves.

"No... don't come any closer!!!"

Suddenly, a soldier behind them screamed in terror.

The officer turned around sharply, only to find nothing there.

Something's not right... Where are they? Where are the Kainter soldiers guarding this place?

The fire was still burning, as red as blood. Wait! This is blood!!

The officer looked at the burning supplies, where blood was churning, corpses piled up on the ground, blood flowing like a river, and countless vengeful spirits of the fallen rushed toward him.

The wronged spirits pounced on him, tearing at his hands, feet, body, and even his head.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

Pfft~~

The sharp blade sliced through his corpse in an instant, splitting him in two!

With the look of terror still etched on his face, he fell to the ground. In a daze, he saw the fierce battle raging behind him—the four thousand men he had brought were now surrounded by the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion.

"Why..."

The feelings of resentment and incomprehension vanished in an instant, just like his life dissipated, but under the influence of the blood mist, his blood and soul were absorbed into this battlefield.

You have mastered the 'War Domain'.

[War Domain Lv1: For each enemy killed, the damage of all team members increases by 0.01%, and a mental stimulus is generated on nearby allies, greatly boosting team morale while simultaneously exerting mental pressure on the enemy. This effect can only be used on the battlefield.]

"Wow, that's an amazing battlefield skill!"

Looking at the skill descriptions on the game interface, Ryan was stunned. These were not skills that 'Shally' had learned after changing jobs, but skills that she had come to understand on her own.

The source should be the battles on the battlefield, one's own comprehension, plus a little bit of luck.

Ryan remembered that in the game, comprehension could help a character learn additional skills, but in most cases it would speed up the proficiency of existing skills, and occasionally it would lead to the comprehension of even more powerful skills on top of the existing ones.

For example, the Blood Knight's 'Bloodlust' skill, if mastered and advanced, becomes 'Bloodthirsty Assault,' which not only absorbs blood but also provides additional enhancement effects.

Such cases of directly acquiring new skills are rare.

But I have to say, awesome, incredibly awesome!

Don't be fooled by the small increase in numbers; it's a buff for everyone! And if it's 0.01% per person, killing a thousand people would be 10%. In a war, that's just a piece of cake.

Not to mention the area-of-effect mental suppression, so in Ryan's eyes this thing is truly a divine skill!

"Indeed, the Blood Knight class is born for war... but it could also be due to divine favor."

While the Blood Knight in the game is a Tier 1 character, it's not nearly as impressive as it appears in the game. The game also has many limitations, and the main characters rarely have the opportunity to participate in battles.

"The outcome is already decided."

With the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion working together, the 3,000-strong force, aided by the War Domain, almost completely dominated the situation.

Blood Knight are powerful, but they are not omnipotent. However, when combined with a Blood Knight Army, their skills can produce unimaginable results.

The heavy armor of the Ironblood tore apart the enemy corpses, and the Royal Guards were equally unwilling to be outdone. Stimulated by the bloodshed, the battle turned into a slaughter like wolves hunting sheep. Fear, along with death, cast a shadow in the hearts of these Kainter people, making their fighting spirit weaker and weaker.

Ryan turned his attention to the defense of the city. All they needed to do now was continue to hold the line. With the east and west gates locked, a forced assault was pointless. Three thousand men couldn't break through a gate defended by fifteen hundred men, not to mention there was a row of cannons waiting in the wings.

In fact, if the Kainter had focused their attack on one location from the beginning, mobilized all the Supernatural Being, and launched a full-scale assault, disregarding casualties, Berman City would likely not have been able to withstand it.

Even cannons have their limits. No matter how strong the city gate's barrier is, it can't stop a group of Supernatural Being from attacking with all their might. At most, three thousand people will die before the city gate is breached.

At that time, it wouldn't matter if the grain and fodder were burned. With more than 10,000 troops rushing into the city, wouldn't there be supplies everywhere?

It can only be said that the other party tried to use tricks to reduce losses, but ended up in a passive position instead.

The collapse of the battle at the Kainter stronghold became the final straw that broke the morale of the attacking soldiers. The planned scene of the city gates opening wide did not happen. They simply could not break through the gates of Berman City on their own, not to mention that Ryan had sent investigators to destroy almost half of the cannons.

Seeing that the siege was hopeless, the Kainter officers finally gave the order to withdraw their troops.

"Ryan, we held on!"

Caslathdi rushed over from the east gate. The Kainter's army attacking the east gate needed to withdraw earlier. She had killed most of the Supernatural Being who attacked. She stayed for a while to make sure that the attackers would not appear again.

At this moment, the Princess stood on the city wall, looking very excited.

"Yes, hold the line. Besides, they've already lost their supplies, so it's unlikely they can launch another attack." Ryan hesitated about whether to give chase, but ultimately decided against it.

There was no way around it; his troops were barely capable of defending the city, but when it came to a direct confrontation outside the city, they were no match for the Kainter army.

Moreover, the army suspected to be the Second Prince has not yet appeared, and the crisis in Berman City has not truly been resolved.

"I really didn't expect that. Luckily, Ryan, you bought so many cannons to defend the city in advance," Caslathdi exclaimed. "Miss Shally is also very capable. She actually burned the Kainter people's food. How did she do that?"

He's only at level two, but he seems like a completely different person on the battlefield.

"By the way, what about Shally? How is she?" Caslathdi asked. "The Kainter army has retreated; be careful not to get entangled."

"Probably not..."

Ryan calmly opened the game, then his expression immediately turned strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, no, it's just..."

'Shally' did not retreat, but instead led the Royal Guards and the Iron Blood Legion on a rapid journey.

What are they trying to do?

Ryan didn't interfere with 'Shally's' actions. The AI Auto-Battle, it was a god-like ability. He would only interfere if he had nothing better to do!

However, Ryan did not expect that 'Shally' would give him a big surprise.

At the battle debriefing meeting that evening, after the Kainter's army withdrew, Ryan received a message from the Burning Covenant investigators—

"Reporting to Your Princess, Vice Captain, Miss Shally led an attack on the Kainter's encampment. Conservative estimates suggest the attack killed over two thousand Kainter soldiers! The Kainter army has withdrawn to Kosotoya. Investigator Cage reports hearing Miss Shally give the order..."

"Give an order, what for?" Caslathdi was taken aback.

"All troops, attack!"

"???"
