Me! The Strongest Alchemist!

Chapter 43: An Unideal Sustained Battle

When Bruce saw the two Strange Strength Murlocs whom he had never seen before charging at him domineeringly, his first reaction was to retreat. His instincts told him that he could not fight against the two monsters with brute force.

“The first team, follow!” Bruce shouted from his spot.

“There’s no need to be afraid. The people standing in front of you are just a bunch of irrational monsters. We are the invincible Trun Spear Legion. We have killed alternative dragons and conquered mountains. Nothing can scare us, who are protected by gods!

“For Lord Huskar!”

“For Lord Huskar!”

As if the word “Huskar” had some magic, Mas saw that the bodies, which had been trembling in fear, straightened up again. They seemed to be determined to die and decided to fight the monsters in front of them!

“Who is Huskar? He seems to be the faith of the soldiers of the Trun Kingdom! No, after this battle, I have to learn the history of this world!” Mas thought wistfully.

The pikemen behind Bruce immediately stepped forward and surrounded Bruce, forming an absolute defense system.

Bruce knew that the two Strange Strength Murlocs were not really fatal. What they really needed to eliminate was the monsters circling above them. They could only defend against the surprise attack of the monsters in the sky.

Before this, even when facing the legendary creature—the dragon, it had never been so troublesome. I hope Lord Huskar can protect us again!

Seemingly having made up his mind, Bruce took out a horn-shaped instrument made of bones from his left hand and played a high tune that Mas could not understand.

All the Spear Legion present seemed to be infected by this high-sounding war song. This was because they knew that this was their army’s undefeated war song. The Spear Legion—Victory!

“The pikemen of the second team throw at the monsters in the sky!”

Under the order, Bruce took the lead to take down the enchanted alchemy spear behind him and threw it at the Red Crystal Gargoyles above. This Heart Piercing Spear penetrated the energy cores of the two Red Crystal Gargoyles without any obstructions.

Seeing this, the Spear Throw Legion behind him began to mimic it. The Red Crystal Gargoyles above their heads were constantly shot down, and Mas, who was watching at the side, was furious.

He directly gave the Strange Strength Murloc and the Royal Naga a death order to break through the first team’s defense formation at all costs.

Although the situation in the air control battle was similar to the Trun Kingdom’s, the defense soldiers at the front were not so lucky. The defense soldiers were generally Level 2 and Level 3 professionals with advanced Level 3 Alchemy Giant Shield, but against the advanced Level 5 and beginner Level 6 Murloc and Naga.

Their resistance was so futile.

The two Royal Nagas were like a group of heavy cavalry wearing iron armor, forcefully creating a hole in the defense formation.

The Strange Strength Murloc behind him also showed his powerful strength as a Level 5 alchemical creature. He waved his sharp claws left and right and charged forward.

The majority of the shield-wielding soldiers in front of them were pierced through the heart, but they were still holding onto the huge shields in their hands tightly before they died. This was because behind them was their beloved general, who was fighting day and night with them.

“Let the Red Crystal Gargoyle Legion retreat first.”

Mas has achieved his goal. He wants these weaker Gargoyles to attract the firepower of Bruce and the Spear Throw Legion so as to let the alchemical creatures on the ground break through their defense system first. ”

There was no need to sacrifice the Red Crystal Gargoyle now. These were all rare materials. Even if they were not very precious, he would still be heartbroken.

Looking at the soldiers who were constantly killed in the past, Bruce’s eyes turned red.

He recalled the days when he lived with these adorable soldiers, especially the guard—Chris. A few days before the expedition, his wife had given birth to a cute daughter. However, because the army had set off, he could not go home to take a look. Now, he never would have a chance to do so.

As for the youth who had just turned sixteen, Bruce remembered very clearly why he had asked him if he wanted to participate in the Spear Legion. That youth did not hesitate to say the answer in his heart. He wanted to become an expert like Lord Huskar to protect his family and everyone in the Trun Kingdom!

And then…

Although he was already prepared to make sacrifices in the war, tears flowed down the face of this burly man in his forties. How could this be?!

“Damn bastards, what kind of monsters are these?! Why does the owner of the Alchemy Tower have such a powerful army of alchemical creatures but is unknown?”

The furious Bruce only hated that he had not investigated his opponent clearly and committed a grave crime, causing countless soldiers who had been with him for a long time to lose their lives in vain.

Taking a deep breath, Bruce shouted with his magic power, “Those who are not yet 18 years old, I will allow you to retreat. Listen, I have one last order for you. Bring the news back to His Majesty!”

“General, we’re not leaving!”

“General, we’re not stupid. If we die, we die together!”

Hearing the words of the soldiers who were the same age as his son, Bruce smiled in satisfaction. “This is the last time. This is a military order. Listen carefully. Go back alive and bring the news to His Majesty. You are not deserters nor cowards. You are brave Trun warriors! Lord Huskar will forever remember your existence! For Trun!”

“Hurry up and leave!”

At this point, the soldiers who had long been in tears cried as they shouted, “For Trun!”

Then, he mounted his horse and galloped towards the Trun Kingdom.

‘Is he gone? That’s good.’ Looking around at the hundreds of remaining soldiers, Bruce bowed deeply to them.

“My old friends, don’t blame me. Those are the future of Trun Kingdom. They shouldn’t have died here…”

Bruce was silent.

“As soldiers, we are already mentally prepared. Why do you have to say this, General? It is your honor to live and die with Lord Bruce!”

“Well said, for Trun!”

“For Trun!”

…

“Is that so? I, Bruce, have fought countless battles in my life but have never suffered such a defeat. It seems that it’s fate… Forget it, let me burn the last flame for Trun!”

“Lord Huskar, I offer my soul to you. Please lend your strength to your people!”

After saying that, blood-red steam appeared on Bruce’s body!

This sacrifice was an inherited talent skill that only those with the bloodline of the Trun people and who had become Level 5 professionals could use. Moreover, the stronger the user was, the longer the time they could use the skill!

The powerful aura directly flipped the two Strange Strength Murlocs to the ground.

Bruce took down the last spear on his back and held the steel spear in his hand. The body of the spear instantly burst into flames and pierced through the two Strange Strength Murlocs.

Mas watched all of this in silence. He did not say a word or give any instructions, letting the Royal Naga and Bruce fight.

Such a person was worthy of his respect. Even at the last second of his life, he would still burn himself to repay the country. He was really an admirable person…
