Chapter 28: Reinforcement
The battle continued in a stalemate state.
Although the side protecting Kraftvoll had the advantage over the number, the enemy's side had the advantage in terms of their soldiers' overall seishin cultivation.
The battle started to become more intense as time passed by.
All soldiers from both sides started to deplete their seishin essences inside their bodies.
Inner seishin essences were vital in casting a spell. Although they can use outside sources that can be found in nature, the toll it gives in doing so will only put them at a disadvantage in the battle.
One soldier from the enemy's side hesitated for a moment, this gave the soldiers from Kraftvoll's side an opening.
In a battle, a moment of hesitation will endanger, not just your life, but everyone's lives in your squadron.
This opening was exploited by Kraftvoll's allies, and the tides of the battle turned to their side.
After showing openings, the soldier that hesitated was killed immediately.
As a result of this mishap, the battle formation of the enemy broke and they were put in a disadvantage. Little by little, their side was overcome by their enemy.
As the two powerhouses of the enemy force saw that their forces depleting, they started to worry that their allies' morale would lower. When that happened, they will surely lose the battle.
As the soldiers from Kraftvoll's side started to feel the victory, a shout of despair was heard from Alucard, "THIS IS BAD! ANOTHER BAND OF ENEMIES ARE COMING!!"
This made the enemy forces happy, "The squadron commander is here! None of you will survive here today!" said mockingly by one of the enemy soldiers.
'Squadron commander!? Only those people that have the same strength as my brother would be appointed as one! This is bad!" Ross mumbled to himself. "KRAFTVOLL! GO NOW!! WE WILL HOLD THEM HERE AS LONG AS WE CAN!" he shouted.
"But, how about you all, sir Ross!?" Kraftvoll asked.
"JUST GO! We will die here, anyway, even if you don't go! GO!!!" Ross furiously replied.
"OKAY! Driver, let's go ahead! Go at full speed!" Kraftvoll hastily said. The driver of the carriage quickly started departing as soon as he heard the command.
Even though he was just a child, Kraftvoll knew that Ross and the others were willing to sacrifice their lives for their sake so he couldn't let their effort go to waste.
That's why he didn't hesitate to go on his way without them, making sure that their sacrifice was not in vain.
"Everyone! The enemy's reinforcements are near! We must hold them as long as we can!" Alucard unwaveringly said.
"YES SIR!!" everyone from their side replied.
They all knew that the moment the enemy's reinforcements came, they will be certainly defeated. That's why they chose to die with their honors intact.
After a few minutes, the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
The enemy's side started to rejoice, "Victory is certain!!" they all shouted.
The enemy started to overpower the soldiers that were escorting Kraftvoll and Belle.
The enemy squadron leader went near his two most powerful comrades, "Where's the target?" he asked.
The one battling Ross replied, "They knew that you will be coming, so they went ahead! Just follow that road to the south, sir!"
"USELESS TURDS! DO YOU KNOW WHOSE TERRITORY IS AHEAD OF US!?" The squadron leader said furiously.
He immediately pursued Kraftvoll and Belle's carriage after knowing where they went.
"NOOO!!" Alucard said in despair.
He quickly followed the enemy's squadron leader but this was seen by his opponent as an opening, "Ye who depicts the attributes of toughness, crush my adversaries, Mother Earth Spike!"
An earth spike suddenly formed out of nowhere, and it quickly discharged and stabbed Alucard's back.
Alucard threw a mouthful of blood before falling to the grounds. "ALUCARRDDD!" Ross shouted in despair.
Meanwhile, the enemy's squadron leader caught up to Kraftvoll's carriage. He stopped their carriage barehand.
"Kid! Join the ranks of Dark Alliance! We will give you anything you desire!" he said.
The two dragons showed their hostile side to the enemy. Their senses were telling them that the enemy in front of them was powerful and threatened the lives of their owners.
"NO! YOU KILLED MY PARENTS! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!" Kraftvoll shouted in rage.
The squadron leader smirked as he heard this, "You better agree to us or else I will have no choice but to kill you together with that friend lady of yours and those two beast shits with you." he said while showing a little bit of murderous intent.
This made Kraftvoll and the others felt fears of the bone.
