Age of Adventure

Aero could only sigh looking at Alexander terrible corpse

’Alexander, you are a brave man. You are brave and decisive’ he muttered, the sound of his praise could not be heard amidst the sound of the clopping hooves of cavalry rushing towards him in the distance

It is drowned by the curses of his enemies and the wind of the plains

Aero actually did not feel what Alexander did toward his father is something that was that despicable.

Alexander could see the trend of the time. But Phillip could not. Or to be more accurate, even if he could see it, it would not affect him

But it would affect Alexander and the kingdom that he would lead in the future

Phillip was living in a dream. Alexander see the reality. Vanheim under Edward would probably not be satisfied to have Veranis controlling the road to the west.,

Sooner or later, there would be plots and scheme to force Veranis to relinquish complete control and reduce their military.

But if Alexander could have trusted him, and trusted his integrity, Aero would have done his best to make sure the agreement stands.

And when Aero said he is doing his best, that means, that it will succeed

Today tragic event happens because of Vanheim eventual plans and Alexander greed. If he was Alexander, he would also try to come out under Vanheim rule.

Since he is young and full of ambition, he surely wanted to contend to become the hegemon of the world.

But if he was Alexander, he would bide his time. Alexander was too rash and too impatient. He fears that it would be too late if he starts later.

It is pity that they were pit against each other.

Aero, if he could be honest, he truly prefers Alexander compared to Edward. If he could dull the sharp edges of Alexander, he could become like King George, a great king.

If they were at the same side, Aero could have advised him and truly put him above Kings and become the Emperor of the continent. But fate works in mysterious way.

He is the Chancellor of the Empire and not the Chancellor of Veranis. As such, his actions are for the Empire and for himself.

Aero did not hear the sound of the horses coming towards him. He admired the young king but it is an admiration that he could not express publicly.

As such he could only sigh.

’KILL THE CHANCELLOR TO AVENGE THE KING!’ His roars echo across the plains 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

While Antonius and his band of men is rushing to kill him, Kyle who had heard Antonius yelling about avenging his King smiles.

’Hmph’ he snorted.

He had also saw Aero split the King of Veranis into two and he was shocked for a moment. But Antonius shout bring him back and then he recognizes an opportunity.

He then shouted loudly

’The King is Dead!’ His voice come after Antonius shouts

’The King is Dead!’

Hearing this announcement those at the back felt their morale fall low. Some of them started running away from the battlefield.

They felt that they already lost the war.

On the other side, Quentin and his army also heard that shout and saw the Veranis army is retreating, one after another tripping against each other., They were completely routed with that news.

The cavalry unit of Quentin did not have to wait for orders as they chase these running soldiers from behind and hacked them

A great general always attacks the enemy from the back or the side, only an arrogant idiot yells about fighting to death all the time.

Quentin himself adhere to this.

It is no problem to fight directly but that is only if they are as strong as the Chancellor who could turn the tide of battle by himself

There are only a few people in the Vilajeri Continent that could fight the way the Chancellor fights war and that is King of Veva Zeus and the Apostle of the Church Ariana.

Quentin did not participate in the Battel of Coro, but even then the Chancellor was not this overbearing and extremely powerful that he alone could disrupt the entire enemy line to this extent.

Of course, most people did not know the trip that Aero had taken to the Underworld where he met with Deria and gained the Curse of the Styx.

Of course this opportunity had something to do with Lizhu Gerard legacy since it is the Sword of Mars that made Poseidon exit his realm and intervene in the mortal world which led to Athena saving Aero and then helping Thetis and gained her gratitude and become her godson.

Quentin look around him amidst the explosion and the dust rising up in the air the cause of which of a great battle happening everywhere

And he almost couldn’t believe that this all happened because of one-man action

The distance between the main army of Vanheim and the main army of Veranis was not close at all

And the Chancellor done the impossible by not only managing to travel that distance alone, he had done it by hacking down all around him to death

The War God of Vanheim!

This kind of title is not underserved. Even Archduke Bradheim in his prime would not be able to do such a thing.

Quentin and Kyle both recognize an opportunity the moment that Aero had manage to kill Alexander.

Kyle was the first one that notices this because he was closer. And Quentin echoes what Kyle was shouting and as such chaos descended on the enemy lines.

The shout of Antonius saying to avenge the King before Kyle shouted the King is Dead is basically a confirmation that King Alexander had died

Not all of the soldiers in the battlefield is loyal to the King. Most of them is loyal to Veranis and not to the King itself. Some came for the coins. Others came for fame and glory.

Whatever the case, the death of their leader, would surely send the Veranis army into a spiral of chaos.

The enemy army is routing and Kyle and Quentin immediately moves their army to cut down those who are routing.

Kyle also began moving and ordering his commander.

Kyle always retained a reserve unit if possible.

That is how he managed to intercept Antonius before and yet maintain his control on the flank so that the enemy would not envelop them

Even if they did, he still has a reserve unit that is outside of the envelopment to help him break out from the situations.

The other reason why he always retained a reserve unit is because if anything that is out of the plan happened, he could ensure that his army could retreat in an orderly fashion if needed and that it would not be routed.

Right now, the scene is chaotic retreat.

Those who could flee, flee.

Some of them flee mindlessly. Some adventurers use their skill to quickly exit the battlefield and save themselves.

And Quentin unit is slashing them from behind, and they run even faster like they were being chased by the devils.

The battle becomes even more bloody and more chaotic and with explosion of magic and dust filling the entire plains, one could hardly see anything too far from their sight unless they were high level combatants or possess some skills that could circumvent these problem.

Kyle could not spare his attention to Antonius unit that have crossed the river. But looking at Aero from the distance, he could guess that if Aero needed help, he would have asked.
