Chapter 776: Chapter 7: Squad Leader

Less than 10 minutes have passed since the war began, and Su Xiao has already slaughtered dozens of enemies. The Soul Devourer is already more than half full.

As the war continues, the number of orcs around Su Xiao increases, while the human soldiers rapidly decrease. He has no idea about the overall battle situation; his only thought is to survive in this war.

With Su Xiao’s physical attributes, as long as he doesn’t encounter troublesome strong enemies, he can kill enemies on the battlefield for a day without a problem. Fighting strong enemies is different from killing on the battlefield; when facing a strong enemy, he needs to unleash his full combat effectiveness in a short time. The stamina consumption in those situations can’t be compared to just hacking down orcs on the battlefield.

The blade aura cuts across, and any orc within a few meters near Su Xiao dies. As for enemies farther away, he doesn’t bother with them. He once summoned the mirror image of a strong individual in the Trial Field, who taught him how to survive on the battlefield—don’t provoke distant enemies; the primary goal is to kill all nearby enemies. When necessary, you can even play dead.

Whoo~

A rapid whooshing sound comes from above, and the orcs beside Su Xiao halt their actions, looking upward.

”Bagaaga kakou, imala (Orc language: Elf Clan’s arrow rain, run quickly).”

The nearby orcs, terrified, even burst into their home dialects, showing how dense the arrow rain above is.

Su Xiao looks at the rapidly descending arrow rain; he can’t even see what the arrows look like, only a large patch of dark arrowheads, coming down like a layer of dark clouds.

A 50-strength Energy Shield forms above Su Xiao’s head.

Ding ding ding...

The arrow rain falls, and the durability of the Energy Shield rapidly decreases.

When the arrow rain stops, Su Xiao dismisses the Energy Shield. Around him are orcs, dwarfs, and even human soldiers turned into porcupines by the arrows.

Whoosh~

Another whooshing sound arrives. A black ball, about a meter in diameter, comes flying from the tribe’s rear, landing hundreds of meters away from Su Xiao.

Boom!

The explosion is deafening, sending large shards of metal flying. Those fortunate enough to survive the arrow rain are shredded by these pieces.

Su Xiao swings the Dragon Slash, slicing away the incoming metal fragments. He ventures a glance around, and within a 300-meter radius, save for him, no other living creatures remain after the arrow rain and goblin cannonballs clear an entire section.

Although a small patch is cleared, this is a battlefield on the scale of hundreds of thousands of creatures. In less than a minute, Su Xiao is once again surrounded by orcs, human soldiers, or elves.

Flames rise one after another on the battlefield, black smoke painting the scene like purgatory. The corpses release a nasty burnt smell as they smolder.

Su Xiao snaps an orc’s throat and slashes another down with his knife, at which point his Soul Eater Talent has absorbed 200 mana points, increasing the life value and mana value recovery effect from killing enemies by 50%.

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, Su Xiao barely has a moment to catch his breath. Luckily, the Dragon Slash is sharp enough to cut through enemies like slicing paper, greatly reducing his stamina consumption.

At some unknown moment, there are no longer human soldiers or elves beside Su Xiao, only orcs and dwarves in sight.

The Dragon Slash leaves light golden slashes in the air, cutting down orcs and dwarves alike. Within a few minutes, the ground around Su Xiao is littered with corpses.

The battlefield can drive people mad, as the orcs and dwarves relentlessly charge forward, ignoring the murderous Su Xiao.

Su Xiao remains unfazed. With the recovery effects from the Soul Devourer after killing enemies, his mana value sustains him.

The Counter Shield materializes around Su Xiao, and as it forms, its shape begins to change from the original hexagonal Counter Shield into handleless energy blades.

Su Xiao grasps these dozens of energy blades in his hand, winding the Boundary Line around them. At the same time, he breaks the connection between these energy blades and himself. In this way, the energy blades can move beyond one meter from Su Xiao, although they only exist for one minute.

Su Xiao throws the energy blades in his hand, and under the entanglement of the Boundary Line, these energy blades form a fan-shaped blade web. Wherever it passes, orcs are cut in half at the waist.

After flying out a dozen meters, Su Xiao pulls on the Boundary Line, retracting the fan-shaped blade web back into his hands.

From his left, right, and behind, dozens of weapons slash or thrust at Su Xiao. He releases the energy blades, simultaneously releasing the Boundary Line from them.

The energy blades float in mid-air, quickly forming a saw-like cutting circle as they arrange around Su Xiao and rotate at high speed.

Squish, squish, squish...

Severed limbs fly, and blood pours as the energy blades carve outwards, wiping out all the nearby enemies.

Within these mere seconds, Su Xiao kills at least a hundred more enemies. Even so, endless foes surround him.

Su Xiao sheaths the Dragon Slash, quietly waiting for more enemies to approach. When a new wave of enemies charges at him, the Dragon Slash emerges from its sheath once more.

Zing!

A pale blue circular blade aura swiftly expands outward; this is the Ring Break, instantly clearing another cluster of enemies, giving Su Xiao a brief moment to catch his breath.

At the rear of the Imperial Army, Legion Commander Carlos stands on an elevated point, surveying the entire battlefield.

”Who is that?”

Carlos points to Su Xiao, one kilometer away, now surrounded by piles of enemy corpses.

”Report to the Legion Commander, subordinate is unsure. That might be a new recruit.”

”A new recruit?”

Carlos is quite surprised.

”So brave, if he survives until tomorrow morning, promote him to a squad leader.”

”Yes.”

The deputy silently notes Su Xiao’s appearance.

”Looks like the tribe has learned its lesson, not using the Troll Tribe as the vanguard. Send orders to the Elf Clan, continue the arrow rain, and let the soldiers on the left and right wings encircle...”

Carlos begins arranging the battlefront; the war has only just begun.

With his blade, killing enemies, Su Xiao has already lost track of how many he has slain.

An hour after the war starts, Su Xiao finally sees the figures of human soldiers nearby, indicating their side has some advantage.

A blade aura slices out, severing an orc’s head. The headless body stops its attack, giving a brief moment for the human soldier sitting on the ground to relax.

This soldier is in his teens, with a still youthful face. He looks towards Su Xiao, momentarily stunned by the sight of all those corpses.

The young soldier taps the hilt of his sword against his chest, nodding at Su Xiao, indicating he owes Su Xiao his life.

At this moment, two curved knives and a war hammer strike at the young soldier, and the sounds of cutting flesh and hammering meld together. Three seconds later, the young soldier becomes a heap of bloody meat.

This scene unfolds before Su Xiao’s eyes, but he remains unemotional, having witnessed such occurrences countless times.

The battlefield is like a grinder of flesh, churning both warring sides together, endlessly, the one surviving in the end being the victor.

Su Xiao once thought this was an exaggerated description. Now it seems, it doesn’t even come close to the cruel reality of the battlefield.

If a single word could describe this place, it would be a sea of corpses and blood.

Though Su Xiao has slain hundreds, he isn’t swayed by murderous intent. On the contrary, the more he kills, the firmer his resolve grows, honing a firm will gradually tempered in iron and blood.
