Alex after finishing his job he arrived where the main forces from both sides were fighting.
Alex arrived at the bloodied battlefield and observed it for a moment.
"Arghhhhhhhhh!!"
A couple of frenzied men who were standing at the back started to run back with terrified expressions.
Their minds couldn't take it anymore and they broke down as if they lost their souls, they screamed and tried to escape.
Alex's brows furrowed as he saw the scene"Wait! This person is not affected and is just pretending."
"This asshole!!" Alex screamed and his figure appeared before the men.
They seemed to be the general of Amidon and were on higher posts compared to the peasants.
BANG!BANG!
The men that were trying to escape the battlefield took the chance of the chaos to escape but before they could leave, they suddenly felt a strong hit and their bodies flew in the air and slammed against the ground.
The bones in their bodies were crushed and they screamed at the top of their lungs.
They looked at the front to see the man who seemed to be the harbinger of death and his appearance meant one thing, their commander had been killed.
Their pupil contracted and their whole body shivered in fright with the thought of this man killing the commander brutally.
Most of them lost their senses seeing him while those who were still able to retain the last bit of sanity started to crawl on their feet trying to escape.
But behind them was an equally horrifying scene where the soldiers of Wright slaughtered the frenzied man without any shred of mercy.
Alex appeared beside one of the men and placed his hand over his head and muttered"Let's see what we have here."
"Extraction!" Alex chanted the spell and a small magic circle appeared over the man's head which disappeared in an instant.
What Alex was doing was similar to a soul search where he could extract pieces of memories of the person but the person on whose spell it is cast may suffer catastrophic damages.
The veins in the main head bulged and red light shined from his pupil and small sparkles of crimson light seemed to emerge from his head.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Stopp!!"
The man roared at the top of his lungs in pain and his miserable outcries echoed everywhere.
Alex turned a deaf ear to the man's yell and focused on the pieces of memories that flashed over his retina.
He saw a young boy, setting on the journey to becoming general and then some useless things, killing, fighting and training.
Most of them were useless but in the end, he saw something which startled me.
This was the last conversation he had with the commander.
.....
"Amidon is preparing a special squad which consists of the elite with the help of others."
"Take this antidote and drink it and if the situation becomes worse press this button."
"Sir, what is this?" The man asked with a surprised expression.
"The armour worn by soldiers is made by great effort, once you press the button, a special gas would be emitted from the armour which will make you stronger for a short period."
"Sir, then what is this antidote?" He asked curiously.
"It's just a preventive measure. Although that gas will increase your strength once its effects are worn out, you will not be able to fight for a few days."
"Now go and give this to another general."
"Thanks, Sir, for trusting me with this precious thing." The general saluted the commander and left the tent leaving the commander looking at him with a large grin.
.....
"So, the commander made him a scapegoat," Alex muttered and withdrew his hand leaving the man to fall on the ground like a soulless being.
His body twitched and jerked violently a few times and saliva drooled from his lips and his eyes became dull and his brain seemed to be short-circuited.
Alex stepped toward the other man who watched the scene in disbelief. He was so horrified after witnessing the scene that he wanted to scream but no voices came out of his throat.
Tears trickled down from his cheeks and he begged Alex to spare him by joining his hands but Alex ignored his plea and put his hand on the head, extracting his memories.
But memories of this man were completely useless when compared to the other man.
Alex withdrew his hand and snapped the man's head and killed it without any remorse and walked toward his army.
....
Roars of rage and bloodlust, cries of pain and wailing lingered all around.
The blood from the piling corpses permeated deep into the soil surface painting it in red colour.
Alex appeared beside Christina who after finishing everything was getting the reports of the losses of the war.
Christina looked at Alex and asked, "Are you all alright?"
"Yeah, you take a look. I don't even have a bruise on my body." Alex spoke with a smug smile.
"It would be odd for you to come out injured even after having a healing spell," Christina replied.
"By the way, did you kill the commander or left him to get any info?"
"I have to kill him. He was burning his life essence, it would be more harmful to keep him alive."
'It was unfortunate that I wasn't able to use extraction on the man after all who knows that man might explode like a bomb."
"Still, I have got some information from those peasants."
Christina's eyes widened for a moment on hearing Alex's words and she asked curiously what information he had got from the enemy.
"I have got a clue about the antidote for this toxic gas and I am thinking of going towards the enemy camp to search for it."
"I will accompany you," Christina spoke.
Alex nodded and moved towards Christina and wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her in Princess carry position.
"Alex!! What are you doing?" Christina asked with a surprised expression.
"I also know the flight spell, I can carry you with me and it will also save some time."Alex cast a cheeky smile.
Mordek and Max who witnessed the scene raised their thumbs at Alex's tactical play.
"Yeah, you're right, that would save some time."
"Time is too precious to waste in war."
"Okay, let's go," Christina spoke with a stoic expression which broke Alex's heart.
Alex's expression stiffened seeing Christina's reaction, he thought that Christina would blush and her face would become red but there was nothing on her face.
No blush no flush.
Alex could feel that Christina's heartbeat had been hastened and there was a reddish tint on her ears but the expression that she was showing was that of indifference and obliviousness.
'She is too dense to understand what is going on or what it feels to carry someone.'
'Or is it quite the opposite and she is showing indifferent expressions because she knows what is going on.'Alex muttered inwardly while looking at her.
Finally, Alex sighed seeing his trick failing to give Christina a surprise.
"Alex, stop wasting time and let's move," Christina spoke and snapped Alex out of his thoughts.
"Yeah!!"
'At least, I got to touch her.'Alex muttered inwardly and his figure floated in the air and the duo flew towards the enemy camp.
