Chapter 982: Northern Gate’s situation
June's blade clashed with the soldier's, sparks flying as he parried and countered with a lethal strike.
Volkov's soldier died, another casualty on the blood-soaked battlefield.
June's breath was heavy, his muscles straining from the combat. He wasn't that strong; he had been created when Erik was much weaker, and on this battlefield, everyone was at least as strong as he was back then.
But at least he didn't rely on mana; he relied on his stamina to use the powers he had, and a healer could fix that up quickly.
June was on the battlefield because the rebels and the Red Palace members were having trouble fighting New Alexandria's troop.
Van Dyke's students were strong; they were the best Frant could offer, but they were not that many.
Despite their superior training and vastly more powerful brain crystal powers compared to the rebels, the Red Palace students and teachers could not fight on equal terms against this many people.
If it wasn't for June and the Chimaeric Demons taking care of the blackguards, they would have been annihilated a long time ago.
June reached for his communicator, issuing orders to the Chimaeric Demons.
"Alpha squad, flank the eastern line. Engage their ranged units and take them out before they can coordinate their fire. Beta Squad, form a defensive perimeter around the southern side of the front line. Do not let them reinforce the area. Gamma Squad, push through the center. Break their formations and create chaos."
The responses came quickly, with the Chimaeric Demons acknowledging the orders.
June could see them moving into position and carving a path through the blackguards' ranks. Then he spotted a soldier charging at him, the enemy's blade raised high. June dodged the first attack and blocked the second one by growing a metal spike from his shoulder.
With the momentum, the clone spun around and gave the soldier a swift kick, knocking the wind out of him.
The guy stumbled, and June went for his neck with a diagonal slash. The jerk tried to block, but June saw it coming and quickly changed his move, smashing the enemy's defense with a powerful sword swing.
June's blade landed on the man's shoulder, making him go wide-eyed in shock as blood squirted out.
With a grimace, the man tried to fight back, swinging his weapon with all his might. June dodged the swing and kneed the guy in the ribs, hearing them crack.
"Listen, Tom," June said. "You have said it yourself that the blackguards are reinforcing their positions faster than we can break them. We need to disrupt their command structure. If we can take out their leaders, we might just solve the problem."
"June, you know how dangerous that is. You're talking about going deep into enemy territory. It's too risky! Besides, are you sure the Chimaeric Demons will be able to do that? The blackguards have many dual wielders!"
That was the term they were now using to refer to the enemy soldiers with two brain-crystal
powers.
"Trust me, I have an idea."
Before Van Dyke could say something, June cut the communication short and switched channels, contacting Amber. The line buzzed for a moment before her voice came through.
"June, what do you need?"
"Amber, we need to pull off something drastic. I'm taking a squad to hit the command center.
Can you and Mira create a diversion for us?"
There was a pause on the other end. "Are you sure about this? It's risky, and I will end up
without mana."
"Yes. The fog doesn't need to be lethal. Just make sure it will make us less visible and will
distract the enemy."
"Understood. We'll start the diversion right away. Good luck."
The line went dead, leaving June with his thoughts. He turned to his squad, his voice cutting through the chaos.
"Alright, listen up. We're hitting the command center. This means we might not come back
from this one..."
