Chereads / Soul King System / Chapter 20 - Surprise

Chapter 20 - Surprise

"Hey guys, who wants them to feel the desperation first?" »Frédéric asked, looking at his comrades.

"I'll go guys first, you don't even have to make a move, let me take care of them on my own. Arthur said calmly taking the lead.

All the soldiers were stunned by these arrogant words, but Arthur's impetus showed that he was completely confident in his words.

The majority of the soldiers wondered:

"Is this stupid guy really stupid or does he really have something to depend on?" "

And after a few moments of reflection, a thought emerged in each person's mind:

"He is a Divine Warrior! Only a Divine Warrior would have the confidence to face so many of the same rank at the same time, and even among Divine Warriors he is among the strongest!

All the soldiers could not help but grasp their swords firmly. They were all already starting to sweat, knowing that their death might be nearer than they previously thought.

However, the Clan Patriarchs did not think the same. They were totally humbled by these words. It's not because they're fools, on the contrary, it's over 1000 years since the emergence of a truly powerful Divine Warrior in the Northern Kingdom. For them, the Divine Warriors are more of a legend than a reality.

So when they heard Arthur's words, they were angry. Confident in their own strength, 3 of them charge directly at Arthur.

However, they couldn't even come within a few yards of Arthur when they were blocked by what appeared to be 3 soldiers in black armor.

Another shock wave sounded at the collision, but this time the confrontation was equal. But it was this result that shocked everyone present at the scene.

The surprises came one after the other, at this moment all the soldiers of the Queen were gaping, all unable to control their expression.

The thoughts of these soldiers were chaotic, their way of seeing the world began to change:

"Where do these soldiers come from? They literally appeared out of nowhere and their strength is comparable to rank (E +)! Fuck rank soldiers (E +) are not like the tomatoes you can find everywhere in the market! These are existences that are only below the Queen in terms of status in the Northern Kingdom! "

Yet their surprise was not going to end there.

About thirty other black soldiers appeared one after the other behind Arthur.

Under Arthur's order all released their aura.

Disbelief was not only visible this time on the faces of the soldiers, but also on the faces of the patriarchs of the various clans of the capital and the Queen.

According to their aura, counting the first 3 soldiers, there were already 5 ranks (E +) and all the others were ranks (E). This meant that Arthur and his mysterious soldiers were half the military might subordinate to the Queen.

One word: Scary.

Such power was hidden in the Kingdom and no one knew about it.

"My darlings, let's go! Arthur said suddenly, too excited to finally have the chance to show his strength.

*Boom*

Multiple explosions sounded as the skeletons charged not only the 12 Clan Patriarchs, but also all Army soldiers of Ranks (E-) and above.

An exact total of 52 rows (E) and 5 rows (E +) on Arthur's side had entered 126 rows (E-), 32 rows (E) and 12 rows (E +) on the Queen's side.

Of course, there were 900 of the ranks (F) left on the side but no one cared about them because they would have no impact on the battle.

Arthur and the 5 rank skeletons (E +) charged without hesitation towards the 12 patriarchs.

Arthur's remaining 52 skeletons, clad in full black armor, charged towards the rest of the soldiers.

The battlefield immediately became chaotic. Several ditches formed quite quickly in the plain south of Yol. Soldiers whose state of life or death was unknown were within these pits. Yet no one bothered to look at them or mourn their death.

10 seconds later

*Boom*

A rank (E-) lands in a sorry state just a few yards in front of the ranks (F). He stretched out his hand with all his strength towards the ranks (F) and at the same time he whispered:

" Help me… "

Yet none of them made the slightest move. They even tried at all costs to refrain from going to help him.

Another second later, a black blur passed beside him and his head fell to the ground.

Several soldiers first watching a battle in this proximity paled at this gruesome scene, but unfortunately this scene was extremely ordinary in a war and it is repeated everywhere on the battlefield.

Soon enough, the Queen who watched the battle of the ranks (E +) realized that the number of soldiers in black was not decreasing at all over time.

" How it is possible ? All of my ranks (E-) and above are elite soldiers so how can they not compete with their counterparts? "

However, moments later, the anomaly was quickly revealed.

Several soldiers began to shout:

"They are not humans but immortal skeletons!" "

Stunned, she gazed out across the battlefield and what she saw shocked her.

One of his soldiers succeeded in destroying the armor of one of the soldiers in black and what was inside was nothing but shattered bones.

No blood, no skin, nothing but bones.

But the scene didn't end there. The pieces of bone bonded together to eventually fully regenerate the skeleton, the process taking less than a second.

As if nothing had happened, the skeleton took the opportunity to pick up his sword and stab it in the heart of his opponent.

Dismayed by the situation, he could not react in time to dodge. Looking at the sword in his chest and then his opponent, he still couldn't understand what had happened.

He was a rank (E) that had continually risked his life, even after having rank (E-) and known all the wealth, power and women that flocked to him. Yet he never imagined his end would be so miserable. Immense regret washed over him, as he wondered why he had risked his life so stupidly.

He had continued for 2 reasons: The desire to gain more power, and honor.

But he could just have taken advantage of his rank (E-) status to live an extravagant life.

The scene of the man in black floating through the air should have been on their guard, even more so when they had faced countless men covered in a black aura.

Unfortunately there were no cures for the regret.

He collapsed to the ground.

After seeing this scene, she looked in Arthur's direction but she could only see a mischievous smile on his face.

The next instant, a clan patriarch succeeds in beheading a skeleton. He wasted no time before turning around and going to help another patriarch. Suddenly his 6th sense warned him of danger behind him and he instinctively ducked to the side. He could see a sword that was exactly at his heart level the previous split second.

He suddenly turned pale after seeing that his life could have ended in the previous second.

All his thoughts were in disarray. He saw that it was the same soldier he had just beheaded and yet this soldier still had his helmet on his shoulders.

Unfortunately, the skeleton didn't give him time to think about it before starting another round.

The Queen did not know what to do anymore, she knew that at this rate all her soldiers would be decimated while the adversary would not have lost even a single soldier since she now knew that only 4 were alive.

She looked this time towards the 3 other living soldiers, but was still surprised to see these 3 men discussing happily with each other.

"Really, this is a battleground and all they do is chat happily to the side? She thought humiliated by this scene.

She directed her gaze towards the city and there she understood her own situation better.

His opponent was reclining comfortably in a reclining chair atop his city wall.

He looked at the whole battlefield as if it were a movie and he a spectator.

She suppressed with all her might the anger that came over her.

She took a deep breath, then came to the following conclusion:

"These guys never took us seriously. "
