The Arkham soldiers might have never thought that they would end up like mice caught in a trap waiting to be slowly devoured by the predator.
Initially, they thought that they had a numerical advantage and using torches and other means, they could find the enemies but their enemies aimed exactly for the ones carrying the torch and then engulf them in darkness
No one was able to spot Alex even if they relied on the light torch. Meanwhile, if Alex's men were spotted, the watcher wasn't left alive to spread the tale.
And the whistles used to alarm others, instead of alerting them created more confusion.
The Arkham soldiers were frustrated and pissed off. But more than that they were scared of the unknown.
Overconfidence caused them to commit careless mistakes. They should have never stepped in here during the night.
Those who know aura tried to guide others and take the lead but Alex and his men continued to aim for their blind spots and to their misfortune, those who used aura were taken out fast causing everyone following them to descend into chaos.
Every time the sword was ignited a ghostly shadow would pass by them leaving behind a corpse with wide-open eyes of confusion and surprise.
Still, none of Alex's soldiers moved hastily. They were instructed to move only if they saw the chance. There was no need to hurry and take risks.
Tonight was going to be theirs and they would be feasting on the enemy's blood.
The Arkham Empire didn't know how many enemies they were against nor did they know what Kinley soldiers had stored for them.
The night was still long and Alex's plan wasn't to annihilate enemies at once but kill them throughout the night without burdening oneself.
He wants to break their minds with fear and force them to make careless mistakes.
His strategy was already successful as many Arkham soldiers were really scared.
And it wasn't even the full force of Alex's battalion.
There are currently only 2500 people who hide in the vast wilderness, taking against the Arkham numbers
Back in the mountains, Johnson was already instructing and preparing for another batch of soldiers in case anything troublesome came up.
Jack, who had disguised himself, gulped anxiously. He had planned to sneak in and find Alex's presence and deal with him swiftly.
He would rush around every time, he heard a whistle or scream of his name but much to his terror he couldn't even feel the presence of the enemy let alone see him.
He was utterly stupefied wondering what was going on. All his previous confidence had been washed away after encountering the hellish situation.
He has been running here and there like a headless man and amid the chaos, his right-hand man, lieutenant Denver who accompanied him had gone missing.
This had terrified them greatly as he was just nearby him still he was lost.
Rather than lost, he was sure that he had been killed.
He was really in a pinch and felt that he had committed a grave mistake by undermining the enemy.
There have been traps made for them and on top of that, the other side was using the beasts in the place to distract them and deal with them and about the people getting killed out of nowhere, he didn't know what the hell was going on.
Even a legendary rank warrior like him had been rendered a useless observer while before him the soldiers kept on dying.
"He is there! Move quickly."
He could hear the voice of soldiers. Whenever they heard the sound of their colleague's death, they would rush towards the place like crazy only to find nothing but corpses spread everywhere.
The number of corpses kept on increasing and even if a thousand soldiers were searching for him, no one was able to get a glance at the death as it approached them slowly.
Beads of sweat slowly formed on Jack's forehead as he thought that this cannot keep on going like this. He cannot give in to any more foolishness.
At this moment, only he knew how much he wished for the sun to appear over the sky and clear away the darkness.
Jack quickly took out the magic called architect stone and contacted the other side.
He needed to inform his liege as soon as possible so that they could make some amends to the plan.
As he commented on the call, a little distance from him two pairs of eyes observed the man.
The moment Jack stepped into the place, he was already on Alex's radar and Alex had tried to order all his kids to be far away from this man.
Seeing him connecting to the other side, a playful smile appeared on his face as he planned to sneak attack this guy.
He let go of the partial concealment and took his stance waiting for the man to get distracted.
He wanted to finish this in one shot instead of engaging in a frontal battle.
As soon as the call connected, Jack spoke with a pained expression.
"Your Highness, we are in trouble. The enemies are fighting from the shadows without showing their presence. We need help! If we stay like this we all are going to die."
His voice and his words shocked the people on the other side.
They had been waiting for the report and good news but what they got was a scream and a plea for help.
Noah heard Jack's voice and spoke firmly.
[Calm down Jack! You are a commander and a Legendary rank. Mind your image first.]
[The enemies are at a numerical disadvantage and since it seems you are fighting from the forest, they seemed to be using darkness to kill you but even if they kill 1000,2000 or 7000 we still had more than double that number. So, be wary of your surroundings and try to pinpoint them.]
"Your Highness, you aren't understanding the situation.No matter how many times we tried we couldn't find the enemy nor spot him. While we kept on looking, our soldiers had been turning into corpses with each passing moment."
