A Demon's Journey

The forces of both sides began to move towards border areas as the Glerian Kingdom declared war against the Sinyalian Kingdom.

The Sinyalian Kingdom had gathered nearly 500,000 soldiers during this time. This was all thanks to their high population.

Meanwhile, the Glerian Kingdom had gathered nearly 350,000 soldiers. The quality of these soldiers was a little superior to typical soldiers. However, the King wasn't sure whether these forces could defeat the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces.

Unlike the Glerian Kingdom's forces, the Sinyalian Kingdom's army had very talented commanders who were proficient in using battle formations.

As a result, even if they just recruited inexperienced soldiers, they could overcome a larger experienced force with relative ease.

However, King Tryfon was quite relieved when he heard that 100,000 warriors from the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect had been released, and they also joined the Glerian Kingdom's army on the borders.

This significantly boosted the number of Glerian Kingdom's soldiers. Moreover, the quality of warriors belonging to a sect was much greater than that of an ordinary soldier.

However, the king did not believe that these sect warriors could replicate their previous success.

It was worth mentioning that the Sinyalian Kingdom's army was caught off-guard by them. If the Sinyalian Kingdom had been aware of their presence, the battle would have become much more challenging.

And since these sect warriors had revealed themselves at the start, the battle was going to be much more challenging!

There was also something else that the king was worried about when he heard of the sect warriors that joined them. Their numbers were too great!

Even with all the sects affiliated to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect combined, he found it difficult to believe that these sects possessed that many talented warriors.

This indicated only a single possibility.

And when he heard the report from the commanding general, it further strengthened his guess.

The report stated that most of the warriors belonging to the sects were quite young or had a rather low cultivation base.

The king instantly deduced that these warriors were the outer sect disciples with some inner sect disciples mixed in them! There was no way it was a force consisting of their core sect disciples or elders!

'These sects aren't planning to use their truly talented and strong warriors. They want to whittle down the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces before launching an ambush on the remnants like last time.'

After the sects reinforced the Glerian Kingdom's army, a piece of interesting information emerged from the Sinyalian Kingdom.

The Crown Prince David Valliadis and the Seventh Princess Ellen Valliadis were also joining the Sinyalian Kingdom's army.

The very mention of David Valliadis was enough to frighten not just the young, but also the elders! His very presence raised the morale of the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces to new heights!

Meanwhile, the Glerian Kingdom's leaders donned concerned looks. They were aware of David Valliadis' accomplishments. And each one was more remarkable than the one before it.

He had already been recognized as invincible in the 5 Star Rank!

However, this war wasn't just limited to the 5 Star Warriors. It had 6 Star Warriors participating in it. And all the Royal Guards, including Spencer Russel, were present to guard the David Valliadis.

If David Valliadis' name frightened the Glerian Kingdom's 5 Star Warriors and below, Spencer Russel's name horrified the Glerian Kingdom's 6 Star Warriors and below!

There had been times when Spencer Russel fought five 6 Star Warriors alone and emerged victoriously.

He was a very talented swordsman. But his talent wasn't constrained to the sword, as Spencer also had a very high affinity with the Water Element!

He was the only 6 Star Warrior in this war who had gained a deep insight into two different fields. The Water and the Sword! Moreover, he had managed to fuse his insights to create a completely new fighting style!

This fighting style was known as the Aqua Blade Dance! This was a very unorthodox sword style as it didn't have a particular set of movements.

Instead, this fighting style focused on reacting to the enemy's attacks in a flexible and powerful manner. Its mantra was to 'dodge flexibly and respond powerfully.'

The requirements for learning this Aqua Blade Dance were very high, so Spencer couldn't teach this sword style to his comrades.

As the Glerian Kingdom's forces began to lose heart, they received a pleasant surprise a few days later.

The Dragon Squad's Leader of the Dragon Tiger Palace, who had mysteriously vanished all those years ago, reappeared and joined the army of the Glerian Kingdom.

His reappearance was truly shocking, but it was the Glerian Kingdom's army that welcomed his presence!

The morale of the Glerian Kingdom's army instantly soared because Dragon Squad's Leader was also a terrifying 6 Star Warrior. His achievements spoke for themselves.

He had defeated several 6 Star Warriors, including a Beast King with the Flood Dragon's Bloodline!

His fighting style was much different compared to Spencer Russel. The Dragon Squad's Leader was solely focused on a long-lost Spear Style. The name of this Spear Style was Mighty Dragon Slayer Style!

Unlike the Aqua Blade Dance, that was focused on dodging flexibly and countering powerfully, the Mighty Dragon Slayer Style was focused on powerfully attacking! This style was actually created by an expert for humans to defeat or kill a Dragon!

There were very harsh conditions to cultivate this fighting style. The warrior must possess a Divine Strength Body and further reinforce it!

Just to cultivate this fighting style, the Dragon Squad's leader had to fuse with the blood essence of a Redwood Bear! This bear was known for its explosive strength and great endurance.

The Dragon Squad's Leader fought against the Flood Dragon and successfully won against that beast relatively easily. Without anyone knowing, the Dragon Squad's Leader had extracted the Blood Essence of the Flood Dragon.

He had injected that Blood Essence into his body and tried to absorb it. However, it proved too much for his body to handle the blood essence of two strong beasts. The blood essence of the beasts showed great rejection, and it took a long time before the Dragon Squad's Leader managed to suppress this rejection and fuse with them in the truest sense.

At this moment, even the Dragon Squad's Leader didn't know how strong he was compared to a random 6 Star Warrior! He felt like he could take on an army of them and still come out on top!

Naturally, the reality was bound to be much different from his expectations, but he earnestly believed that it wouldn't be big trouble to deal with five 6 Star Warriors.

The two commanders laid out their forces on the battlefield and the Glerian Kingdom's commander began the attack with the lowest-ranked infantry. The Glerian Kingdom's commander wanted to gauge the strength and the tactics of the Sinyalian Kingdom's commander.

After observing the reaction, he would consult his strategists and devise a thorough strategy to defeat the Sinyalian Kingdom's armies.

However, their first wave was quickly defeated as the enemy employed a Battle Formation to augment their ability.

The results were worse than their expectations. Each of the hundred-man and thousand-man commander of the Sinyalian Kingdom seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Battle Formations.

Moreover, they weren't just employing a single Battle Formation to attack the Sinyalian Kingdom's army. Each battalion used a distinct Battle Formation that coordinated with other Battle Formations and further augmented their capability!
