The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Alex moved closer towards the gates and as he cleared away the corpses of the enemies along with the forces surrounding the gates, his eyes caught the sight of the enemy commander.

The enemy commander was at Transcendent rank guarded by two others. He was surrounded by soldiers from all sides who were watching the scene with bewildering and shocked looks.

His enemy was still at a safe distance but it wasn't that far that he couldn't reach.

He calculated the chances of success if he charged in.

Alex heard Barack's voice from behind who looked quite agitated. His face was a red tomato and he was out of breath.

Barack tried to keep up with Alex and his troops but no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to keep pace and deal behind.

"Sir Alex, you have made the impossible possible. Now, we just need to defend and gain time for others to build earthen walls and iron fences and we are good to go."

"The reinforcements from others might be on the way after knowing the situation. We just hold up."

Alex thought for a moment.

Waiting for enforcement was akin to giving the reins of your life to another in this situation. If you want to survive and achieve something, you need to take it with your own hands without relying on and expecting anything from others.

Alex looked at his men who had surrounded him and fended off Arkham soldiers who were trying to get their hold again.

Alex looked at the enemy stand and his men.

Although they were in a rough safe they were still good to go but if he decides to move further the casualties may rise rapidly.

He could risk his life but he didn't want to risk the lives of his men unnecessarily and he wanted to fall back and stop now.

He wasn't an obsessed person with patriotism who would lay down his life unnecessarily. If there is danger, and he couldn't afford to get away from the danger alive then he would just ask his men to run away and then come back after becoming stronger.

As his gaze roamed around, it finally halted at Riya who was staring at him.

Alex's lips curled upwards with a smile.

'I can't fall back now. I can't stop now.'

Alex finally concluded.

Max and Aeon bowed down and ask for his command.

"We are gonna move forward and take down the head of the enemy commander."

"No, Sir Alex, it is too risky. We are already in a good position." Barack shouted.

He felt that Alex was becoming arrogant and was letting this achievement get into his head.

"Sir Barack, you should already know they had come here after conquering the first defence line and there might be soldiers stationed here."

"If we let them go now, they will come back tomorrow with more force and we couldn't defend them due to the huge numbers."

"This place wasn't able to take on their half-force when it was in one piece and you want to defend against their full force when this place is already broken."

Barack wanted to speak but no words came out of his mouth. He knew Alex's words were the truth.

Alex had initially thought that the other side might have between 35,000-40000. But after fighting and seeing the mass of soldiers. He did a rough estimate that Arkham soldiers might have 20,000 to 25,000

And this number was quite small compared to the previous estimates by half which further increased his confidence.

'I will be the only one who matches ahead. You all wait here and secure the gates fully and start mending whatever you can. Those who want a moment to take a breath can take and those who want to fall back and get treated, fall back now cause there will be no next time."

"I am going in. Wait for my signal to match towards the enemy." Alex ordered and rushed forward alone.

His back looked lonely but it felt quite broad to everyone who saw it from behind. He can be said as the sole reason for turning the tides.

Though they may be lazy and careless, they weren't harnessed nor traitors who wouldn't feel anything after witnessing such a scene.

Meanwhile, Alex hurled towards the enemy soldiers alone.

The best way to end the battle was to go for the enemy's commander's head.

The moment the commander's head will fall, the enemies will fall as well.

Leaving a trail of dust, Alex jerked his sword to get off the blood and leaving behind afterimages, he galloped towards the horde of enemies.

Arkham soldiers were stupefied for a moment and thought that the man had gone mad as they saw him rushing ahead alone like a maniac.

But they immediately snapped out of their thoughts and engaged quickly.

"Stop him."

"Surround him and kill him at once."

"Everyone attacks at the same time."

Loud shouts were heard from all around. Arkham soldiers were furious seeing Alex marching alone into their territory and they felt that this puny human was challenging ten thousand of them at once.

They raised their weapons and attacked him, trying to show the ant his place for acting insolent, however, the scene of a single man exchanging blows with many took away all their breath and bewildered them.

The weapons that were aimed at Alex striving to take his life from all directions were unable to put a single scratch on him.

CLANG!

The weapons were bounced back once the attacks were blocked and those who attacked him were either blown away or fell on the ground while screaming at the top of their lungs with teary eyes

Alex had hardly used his mana and his bar was full. He could take on the troops by himself but the two Legendary ranks might pose a threat to him after he dealt with the soldiers as he might already be close to exhaustion at that point.

But he didn't need to do everything by himself.

Alex's steps halted and he took a deep breath to shout.

The enemies thought that this was their opportunity and tried to take him down seeing the opening.

His troops at distance thought that Alex was going to give them an order to engage and their blood started to burn.

"Riya, it seems I need your help," Alex shouted with a pleasant tone.

The enemies aiming at him felt weird seeing the man calling a lady's name but they turned a blind eye to it but at the very next second, everyone witnessed a scene that scared them out of their wits.

The weapons moved towards Alex and were cut apart and a sharp purple line appeared that encircled Alex and an instant later it expanded and the enemies around Alex were cut apart like butter.

No one was able to witness who swung the sword and how they were cut apart out of nowhere but their eyes widened as they saw the silhouette of women appearing behind Alex.

A strong killing intent radiated from her which resonated with Alex and soon engulfed the whole place freezing everyone's bodies with fear.

Everyone had one thought.

Just where did this demoness come from?
