Gacha Sovereign

95 Bawon Fortress 4

Alex frowned. Leyfon\'s face darkened. "Andreas, immediately gather our soldiers and inform the citizens"

"Yes, Father" Andreas immediately set off along with the soldiers.

"Young Alex, it is like what you said. We might need to end this meeting"

Alex nodded, "I will go back first to grab my weapons. Let me help you"

"We will also help" Alicia and Firia said at the same time.

"Princess, you may not"

"Sir Leyfon, it\'s okay. I might not look like it but I\'m equal to a rank 4 mage you know"

"I can\'t hold the responsibility if anything happens to you. Unlike the assignment from the academy. The battle of this time was far more dangerous than that. Especially because now is a night. Our vision would be limited."

Firia also holds the same opinion as Alicia. She looked at Alex expectantly.

Alex still hesitated about it but suddenly Sherry went into the front.

"Wuu Wuu" Sherry said.

"As expected of our Sherry" Alicia smiled to her. Firia also nodded in understanding.

Sherry said she will protect them.

Alex sighed, "Only this time"

"Young Alex, are you sure?"

"Well, Sherry said she will help me to protect them too. She might look cute and harmless but she is bonafide rank 6 monster, you know? If Sir Leyfon, still not convinced. You can send us rank 7 warrior though but it will reduce our force. we will stay on the wall, not the frontline."

Leyfon frowned, He finally relented, "But all of you need to stay beside me. Meet me at the west gate half an hour from now"

Alicia and Firia nodded.

After receiving an \'OK\' from Leyfon, they left to prepare themselves.

They went to their barrack hurriedly. The students also informed by the soldiers, there are some students who will participate in this battle and some who won\'t. After all, the academy\'s event would only start from tomorrow onward.

Alex and the rest met up again in front of the barrack. Alex bought out a new rank 5 spear. He made this spear back in the academy, after all, he can\'t let out that \'Spear\' in front of many people, he might incite \'something\' if he carelessly used them. He can use it back in the Night Forest was because he was away from people so they won\'t notice him, but this time is different. With a rank 5 sword in his right and a rank 5 spear in his left, he was ready to go. On the other hand, Alicia brought her wand with her. Firia also brought her wand and a few small pouches.

"Each pouch contained twenty rank 1 restoration pills and five rank 2 restoration pills. Please bring them with you"

Alex and Alicia were surprised by her. Firia seems to be a very detailed person, she is perfect for a secretary job. She seems very reliable in this kind of situation.

"Thank you Firia" Alex and Alicia thanked her.

After that, they went to the west gate. The west gate is the main gate if you wanted to go to the forest. So, Leyfon chose this place.

They found him talking to the soldiers while the two \'problem\' children following him. Leyfon also noticed them coming to him.

"You guys have come,? wait for me a bit, after that, we will go up there"

Alex and the rest nodded. The two \'problem\' child glaring at Alex. Alicia and Firia felt offended by Alex patted their shoulder and shake his head.

After a while, Leyfon came back and lead them to the top. Since it was night, obviously it is dark. It is hard to see the bottom like this.

Though Alex can somehow see the ground because of his high rank, Alicia and Firia can\'t. He was also sure that the soldier can\'t see in this dark night. Now he wondering how the minister will fight in this dark battlefield.

Not long after, the sound of a trumpet was heard. The soldiers raised their weapon and the atmosphere became tense. It seems the enemies have come.

"Light it up" Leyfon shouted.

After he said that, many soldiers shoot arrows into the ground. There are many light started glowing on the ground. Those were the lamps fueled by Monster core. The arrows just now activated them. This glowing light brighten the battlefield. Many people were taken aback, this is the first time they saw something like this. While those soldiers didn\'t have any exaggerated reaction. They used to it. on the contrary, they started clenching their weapons.

Leyfon came to Alex and the rest. Of course, the \'problem\' child also followed him. "How is it young Alex?"

"It is pretty" Alicia said. Firia also nodded.

The young man seems proud and happy when Alicia said that. While the young girl harrumphed.

"Let me introduce you since I haven\'t introduced them to you. They are my grandchild. Franky, a rank 5 warrior, and the other one is Sila, a rank 3 warrior. You two greeted them"

"Hmph" Sila snorted.

"You better don\'t hold us back" Franky glared at Alex. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

"You two bastard. Do you still not learned your lesson?" Leyfon started to flare up.

Alex stopped him. "It\'s alright. Are there any flying monsters?"

Now Alex understands where is that arrogant attitude came from. Now the problem is... why did they act like that in front of him? He can only list 3 possible problems. First, Leyfon wanted to engage him with Sila and they rejected thus they acted like that. Second, Alex\'s fame was even more than him(the big brother). Considering his age, reaching rank 5 means he is very talented, but with Alex\'s appearance, all of that was diminished. The third one is very troublesome, he was captivated by Alicia or Firia and see him as an eyesore. Well, he can\'t keep thinking about this for now. He needed to focus on the battle. After all, they are currently in \'their\' home, so he can\'t act recklessly, and above all, there is Leyfon, the war minister. If Leyfon recklessly attacked him without considering the consequences just because he injured his grandson. It might not be good.

"Not for the moment. From my point of view, there will be none in this battle"

Alex nodded but suddenly he frowned, he sensed the monsters have arrived. Leyfon also noticed them. He and Alex immediately turned their head. "They have come"

Alex observed the monsters that started coming out of the forest. The majority was still rank or below. Behind them are many rank 5 monsters and even a few rank 6 monsters are present. Around fifty rank 5 monsters and ten rank 6 monsters are present. There is still no rank 7 monsters present. Seeing the monsters didn\'t insanely charge at them, that means, there is something controlled them. the only thing that can control them must be a higher rank monster. That means a rank 7 or above. But a rank 8 monster in this horde, it is very unlikely. The most possible one is a rank 8 monster.

Alex frowned, "Sir Leyfon, What is your usual distance before you start attacking them?"

"Hmph, what do you know" Franky snorted.

Alex ignored him and keep looking at Leyfon seriously.

"From there" Leyfon finally answered as he pointed out with his finger.

"Can I attack them now?"

"You attack them? from here? don\'t joke" Franky once again retorted him.

"Shut up" Alex gave him a cold gaze, he starting to be fed up by him.

"You-"

"Shut up" This time Leyfon ordered him to shut up. He immediately shut his mouth.

"Why do you want to attack them now?"

"With this darkness, I can somehow snipe them without them noticing. That way we can get an advantage in this battle. Of course, my targets were those rank 5 or 6 monsters."

"What? Are you sure? Can you attack them from here?"

Alex nodded. "Though, I need some spears for that"

Leyfon considered it a bit and finally nodded. "Men, bring our reserve spears here"

After a while, the soldiers brought out around fifty iron spears.

Alex grabbed one of the spears, he nodded to Leyfon. Leyfon also nodded back and shouted "Prepare your weapon"

The soldiers and the helper raised their weapon. The atmosphere on the wall became tense.

Alex closed his eyes and focus his mind. He slowly opened his eyes and looked toward those high-rank monsters. His first target would be those rank 6 monsters, if he failed then he won\'t target those monsters again, they will be wary of him after that attack after all.

Alex\'s expression becomes serious. He first aimed at the rank 6 monster on the left side, it was a rank 6 werewolf. Franky and Sila who was on the side threw a mocking smile.

"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing"

Strength. Speed. Technique. All of it combines when Alex threw his spear. The spear flew at a very high speed. With the natural darkness conceal the spear. It suddenly appears between the darkness and reach the werewolf. Alex target its head, the spear arrived in front of the werewolf. Because of the darkness and its speed. The werewolf didn\'t had any chance to react. The spear pierced the monster\'s head. Unfortunately, because the spear was just a normal spear. It broke after it pierced the werewolf strong body. No, you can say, because Alex\'s \'Spear Throwing Art\', that lousy spear can somehow penetrate that monster. It took a while before the monsters beside him started noticing that one of their leaders died.

Leyfon was very shocked by Alex\'s particular spear-throwing technique. It combines power, speed, and technique in a particular way. It gave the perfect way to throw the spear. that\'s why he can penetrate a rank 6 monster with a normal spear. if he was asked if he can do it. the answer is no. The secret itself is on the spin. The spin increased the penetrating effect from the spear. Well, it is not called \'Spin Throwing\' for nothing. If he can kill a few rank 5 or 6 monsters, he can minimize the casualty for this battle. He looked more and more disappointed with his grandchildren.

On the side, Franky and Sila were dumbfounded. After all the thing they did, whether it is mocking or something. All of it came back to slap their face at this very moment. Especially, Franky, he mocked Alex the most. Now he can\'t even speak due to the shock, he almost reached 30 years old. But he can\'t say that he can kill a rank 6 monster instantly like that, though it is true, the darkness can conceal the spear, and make it perfect for an assassination, but Alex\'s power is real, he can\'t refute that. Actually, he falls in love with Alicia\'s elder sister, Mia, when she visited this fortress last year. But she can\'t even be bothered with him. That\'s why He thought by oppressing Alex in front of Alicia, she might think him cool or something. With that, she might put a good word about him to Mia. Unfortunately, if he knows that actually, he mocked Alex in front of his own girlfriends, especially if one of them is his fiancee. And if he knows that the king, also back him up. Don\'t know what will happen then. If Alex backer is only the dean, he might be able to escape as his grandfather, the war minister, is also a rank 8 warrior. But if he knows all of that, he can not even kill himself as his grandfather will personally kill him before anyone else.

Contrary to him, Sila looked down. At first, when her grandfather speaking Alex\'s name. He was very happy and always ordered her to get closer to him. Of course, she hates that. What kind of person is that Alex? he is just lucky to get a dean as his teacher, he is lucky enough to think about some ideas. All of it came from his luck and his teacher, not himself. That was her thought every day and that was the reason she hates Alex. She keeps fighting the monsters in here, while he does nothing other than sitting nicely in the academy. he is not worthy of her. But everything changed when Alex killed a rank 6 monster with a single lousy spear.

If Alex now all their thought, he might say \'Action is the best way to shut them up\'. Unfortunately, he can\'t afford to focus on something like that at this moment. Of course, he can\'t be bothered with that as His focus is on the battlefield now.

"Huu. One down" Alex relieved after he confirmed its death, He then grabbed another spear.
