I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 382 Clash of Two Sides

On the way clashing with the enemy's fifth-grade combatants, Moi also chugs another high-grade mana potion.

'This is the second one.' thought Moi solemnly before clashing with the Duke Faltos.

They both fight using their swords and clash dozens of times without stopping. Duke Faltos didn't give Moi any time to break or even speak. Fortunately, the Sur knight is an elite experience fighter and could fight themself without the need to be instructed.

In the meantime, three Sur knights managed to hold down the enemy's middle-aged general, who was also a fifth-grade combatant. While the Traynia's fifth-grade combatant is stopped, the other Sur knights slowly advance towards the Fort Destroyer.

They separate into a few groups and are scattered around to avoid the enemies' large-scale spells or getting rounded up at once. It also prevents the enemies from using large-scale spells since they could hit their own soldiers.

The whole place became very chaotic. Skills, spells, blood, and scream could be heard everywhere. Despite being outnumbered, the Sur knights still stand on their ground. The main reason for their survival is because of their weapons and equipment.

Their weapons are highly enchanted items made of rare material. Their armor also could erect some barriers passively to withstand any low circle spells. However, it is nothing compared to their Power Arm from Vigo.

All the Sur knights are equipped with Power Arm. Although their Power Arm only has a primary feature which is stored mana and some weight increment, it still increases their combat prowess a lot.

Any ordinary third-grade combatant couldn't even stop their attack after using the weight-changing feature. The Sur knights are like meat grinders who harvest any life of low-grade soldiers in the surrounding.

"Retreat!! Move back!! Low-grade combatant assists from the far!!" shouted the enemy knights.

The Traynia's soldiers slowly regroup and handle the situation. They start to overwhelm the Sur knights with their number and only let fourth-grade combatants hold them.

However, holding Sur knights equipped with Power Arm was not easy and they slowly pushed back. At this moment, the silent Fort Destroyer starts to release a humming sound. Everyone noticed the Fort Destroyer starting to accumulate mana from the surrounding.

"Shit!!" cursed Moi while getting entangled with the enemy's duke.

The other Sur knights also know their current predicament. However, they are still a few hundred meters from the Fort Destroyer. Not wanting to waste any more time, some of the Sur knights use crystal runes towards the Fort Destroyer.

[3rd Circle - Fire Wyrm] [3rd Circle - Fire Blast] [3rd Circle - Fire Totem] a series of fire-based spells released from their crystal runes. Before the spells hit the Fort Destroyer, an invisible barrier covers the whole machine and protects it from the incoming spells.

"Barrier?!!" exclaimed the Sur knight.

"It's futile. The For Destroyer not only has a tough defense but is also enchanted with various kinds of barrier and reinforcement rune." said the Traynia's general.

"Hmph.. You are still underestimating our Sur knights." replied the Sur knights.

Suddenly, the whole Sur knights are like eating steroids and start to use more powerful attacks while pushing forwards. Meanwhile, inside the Thornbridge Hold, everyone starts running around. Various kinds of artillery and strong projectile attack are already on standby.

"Sir, we detect the enemy magical cannon start to charge up." reported the knight with a detection device in his hand.

"Tch.. Everyone get ready! Magician units, begin casting your strongest spells!! Active the barriers at full power!!" commanded Viscount Eagle.

"Yes, Sir." said the nearby knights.

"Paul, did you think they failed?" asked Baron Ivo.

"Let's just hope they manage to stop it." replied Viscount Eagle solemnly.

At the same time, the Sur knights slowly get closer to the Fort Destroyer while the Traynia's soldiers try to push them back.

After they reach dozens of meters away from the Fort Destroyer, some Sur knights start to release long-range attacks. Slowly they manage to crack the machine's barriers.

"Everyone, activate your armor!! Ilgor!" shouted Moi loudly.

*ROOARR* [War Cry] Once again, a thunderous roar is heard through the whole battlefield. Most of the Tryrania's soldiers freeze up for the second time, while some soldiers near Ilgor instantly slump on the ground lifelessly.

On the contrary, the Sur knights are protected by special barrier enchantment from their armor. Using this opportunity, some of the Sur Knights managed to sneak up toward the Fort Destroyer and hit it.

Unfortunately, despite using their full-powered attack combined with their Power Arm, they can only break the barrier enchantment.

Looking at this, the middle-aged general knows the Sur Knight will surely be able to damage the Fort Destroyer before it finishes gathering energy.

"Shoot it!! Fire it now!!" shouted the Traynia's general.

"But, Sir.." replied the nearby knight.

"Shoot it!! Before they manage to destroy it!!" yelled the general.

"Y-Yes, sir." said the knight before, relying on his general command through his communication device.

After the knight relied on his command, a stray burning arch energy slashed him and everyone nearby.

"Tch.. I am too late." said Moi while once again clashing with the enemy's duke.

Despite Moi being occupied with the silent duke, he managed to create chaos in the surroundings and let the Sur knights have more advantage.

Moi and the Duke have roughly the same strength. However, their combat experience is vastly different, especially in large-scale battles like this. Normally, the fight of high-grade combatants like the fifth one or above affects their surroundings a lot.

Hence, it is normal to drag their fight far away from the crowded battlefield to avoid friendly fire. However, Moi is able to lead their fight against the gathered Traynia's soldiers and create chaos on the battlefield.

Even though Duke Faltos decided to stop him from running around, Moi could still predict his intent and react appropriately. As a veteran, Moi has a sharp spatial awareness of and surroundings.

Even while having a fierce fight, it is easy for him to guide his enemy toward a particular area. Before anyone notices, Moi has already arrived at the side of the Fort Destroyer with the least number of soldiers guarding it.

"See ya, pretty boy [Fire Assault]." said the Moi

Suddenly, Moi deflected the Duke's attack before covering his body with fire and disappearing from his spot. In the blink of an eye, Moi had already reached the Fort Destroyer that was humming loudly.

Using his fast momentum combined with his full power, Moi brandished his strongest attack on the Fort Destroyer [Sword Art - Flame Woven]. *BZZZTT* Just before Moi's attack reached Fort Destroyer, it shot a condensed mana ball.

The mana ball is smaller than the previous one but still travels fast towards the Thornbridge Hold. In the meantime, like already waiting for the incoming attack, the hold's army immediately shoots their own magical cannon and releases many large-scale spells toward it.

The mana balls get hit by all of them and begin to become unstable but still move forward towards the hold's last rune barrier. *BOOOOMM* As soon as it touched the barrier, it exploded as it couldn't hold its shape any longer.

The barrier received a full-force attack from its point-blank range and couldn't hold even a second. Fortunately, some heavily armored soldiers already stand by and create another massive barrier while some magicians cast high circle defensive spells to hold down the explosion.

After a full minute of loud shockwave, the dust and airwave start to settle down. Everyone could see the massive river in front of them is wholly cut into two before connected again after a while. While the hold's wall is still standing, there are various massive cracks on it.

If it is not because of its strong enchantment, the wall will collapse by now. After recovering from his surprise, Viscount Eagle and Baron Ivo give various commands to the shocked soldiers.

It is normal for them to be shocked and staggered since they almost died just now. Even the Baron and Viscount themself also affected by the explosion. However, they are still in the middle of a war and need to be ready for the incoming enemy.

On the other hand, at Traynia's base, the Fort Destroyer's side is cut in a rectangular pattern by Moi's last attack. He also managed to destroy the massive sphere inside of it.

Fortunately, the Fort Destroyer has already discharged all its accumulated mana. Otherwise, the whole area will be destroyed by the accumulated mana. At the same time, Moi was also riddled with various kinds of small cuts on his clothes.

When Moi focused his attention on destroying the Fort Destroyer, Duke Faltos also launched his own attack with his twin blade. Currently, the two fifth-grade combatants are facing each other warily.

Moi's clothes may look like some kind of plain clothes made of fabric. But it is actually a very high enchanted piece of clothing that is stronger and more durable than Heart Kingdom's royal guard armor.

However, Moi didn't expect his opponent to be able to penetrate all his barriers and his durable clothes easily during his last attack.

He feels his silent opponent is more dangerous than he thought. If it were not for his absurd clothes, he might have already been cut to pieces by now.

"Tch.. Wind element." grumbled Moi.
