Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 166 - 90 vs 2000 !

Facing them were more than 2,000 Dravaks who didn’t dare advance.

Obviously, the stalemate didn’t last long.

Kaelor flew in front of all his troops.

"Kill these humans and pursue their deserters!"

Yes, they were deserters!

Cowards!

Not fierce warriors!

They were afraid of them!

Immediately, the Dravaks’ morale was renewed to some extent.

The Shibuyas continued their retreat, their hearts heavy at having to abandon such a valiant group of men.

Edgar, running at the head of the group, exchanged one last glance with Andrew before really leaving.

He knew it was the right decision, but it left a bitter taste.

Andrew slowly lowered his fist, as did the rest of the mercenaries.

His eyes fixed on Kaelor, still standing in the background, his gaze filled with rage and frustration.

"So what, Dravak?" shouted Andrew in a loud voice.

"Are you going to stand there and watch us die, or are you going to show that you still have some pride?"

Of course, Andrew was no fool.

He was provoking Kaelor because if he wanted to go after the Shibuyas, even the Saber-toothed Tigers would find it hard to stop him in these circumstances.

Kaelor squinted. Although he couldn’t understand a word the humans said, he quickly guessed what these mercenaries were up to.

But from his point of view, these mercenaries represented a far greater threat than the Shibuya.

So, for him, this was the best opportunity to eradicate all these humans!

For, despite himself, he feared that even if he managed to get many powerful men away, the Saber-toothed Tigers would survive and kill all his men!

Of course, he thought this because he didn’t know they were under the effect of a talent.

The Dravaks advanced at last, their ranks widening to envelop the Sabertooth Tigers, much to their surprise. None of them went hunting for Shibuya!

The mercenaries didn’t understand; they thought their mission was to protect the Shibuya.

Why were they now the targets?

A few intelligent people like Tena, Ernest and Andrew quickly understood, and stopped themselves from smiling.

But that didn’t stop them from thinking:

"Those Dravaks, they really are idiots!"

"When they find out it was only Kaite who was a knight, they’re probably going to freak out, aren’t they?"

The mercenaries didn’t move. They stayed together, forming a perfect circle.

The strongest mercenaries were placed towards the inside of the circle, and the weakest towards the outside!

For this was the best formation to ensure that they killed as many Dravaks as possible!

"Get ready!" shouted Andrew from the center of the circle.

Ernest, Rodrigo, Henry, Ultia, Kaite, Laura, Terry, James and other mercenaries took their places beside him, their faces calm but determined.

Everyone was ready to support the recruits outside.

Such as Ivan and Wigor, who were already sweating but also very excited.

This was their first real battle, and it was so epic!

They were protecting mankind in a world different from their own!

Liam, the young genius from Plouta, had his hand quietly holding a Dravak sword on the outside of the circle.

He was at the very north of the formation, and was in fact closest to Kaelor at the moment.

No fear could be detected in his eyes, it was as if there were many ants around him.

And all he needed to do was lift his foot to crush them.

He’d had this confidence ever since he’d awakened his talent.

He didn’t know himself where it had come from, but from what they’d gathered, his boss must have enhanced his magical talent, improving the potential of all mercenaries by another level!

Now he’d asked around, and he was the only one to have awakened a talent in addition to having had his potential enhanced!

Unless there were other mercenaries lurking like him.

And what was even better was that he was finally progressing at a rate worthy of his potential!

It was as if, having awakened his talent, the chains that had imprisoned him until now had been broken.

The Saber-toothed Tigers howled in response to Andrew, their cries filled with defiance.

And then the assault began.

The Dravaks began firing at the mercenary group from a distance!

This loosened up the formation slightly, but at this point, almost all the mercenaries had 3-point physiques!

Their reflexes and sense of danger were reaching monstrous heights!

Not one of them was wounded in the first volley of fire.

At the same time, many Dravaks rushed at them for hand-to-hand combat, but the mercenaries showed unprecedented coordination and ferocity.

Every sword stroke, every movement, was extremely savage and endowed with terrifying power to inflict maximum damage.

They were clearly out to kill, and they weren’t faking it.

Laura leapt into the air, slicing the wings of a Dravak in mid-air before rolling to the ground to dodge another attack. Andrew made his way through the melee, his flaming sword leaving streaks of light with every blow.

After carrying out these actions, they always returned to the center of the formation to fill in the gaps and react to any targeted Dravak attacks!

They also took the opportunity to bring back the wounded and protect them while they healed.

All the elites who had accompanied Maxime knew just how miraculous their leader’s second talent [Awakening of Life] was.

And they had to make the most of its effects in battle.

But as the minutes ticked by, many recruits had no time to be rescued and died under the Dravaks’ blows!

There were far too many of them!

But the Sabertooth Tigers didn’t give up.

At this point it was:

"Either I die or you die, there are no other options!"

Kaelor, observing the scene, felt anger welling up inside him. These humans defied all logic.

"Bunch of weaklings, in the end I always have to intervene!" he roared before throwing himself into the fray, sweeping aside several mercenaries with a sweep of his sword.

Andrew turned, his eyes gleaming fiercely.

But before he could do anything, he saw a young white-haired mercenary charging Kaelor. Your journey continues on novelbuddy

Andrew, like many elite mercenaries, saw this scene and opened his eyes wide.

"Are there mercenaries this crazy back home?" asked Andrew aloud.

"It would seem so." interjected Ernest, as he shot an arrow into a Dravak’s head.

Of course, his bow wasn’t from Eternity either.

With his current strength, most bows would break with just half his force.

The arrows he’d brought weren’t of good quality either; he simply found a quiver full of arrows on the corpse of a Shibuya and "borrowed" them from him.

"Bold." Kaelor muttered disdainfully.

He could see quite clearly that the strongest mercenaries were on the inside of the formation while those on the outside were small shrimps in comparison.

So he swung his giant sword at the white-haired young man, intending to finish him off very quickly.

"It’s too late..."

"He’s dead..."

murmured some of the mercenaries.

Each of them had to observe a large part of the battlefield to analyze the situation in real time, and make the right decision every time.

Shots were coming at them from time to time, and they had to dodge them or risk being seriously wounded by a single shot.

And with their reaction time, it was possible.

Ivan and Wigor also saw this young man with white hair, and more importantly, they knew him very well!

"Holy shit, do you see what I see Wigor?" asked Ivan, disbelief marked on his face.

"Yeah, it’s fucking Liam!" replied a stunned Wigor.

They couldn’t believe it, Liam the famous fallen genius daring to face Commander Dravak alone, whom even the deputy chief avoided!

"What’s that idiot doing?" he continued disappointedly.

For a moment, this young man had been raised to the same height as them.

But very quickly, everyone realized that he was just a piece of trash among the potential 2-stars.

He was barely progressing as quickly as the potential 1-stars.

And now he was going to go head-to-head with the strongest of the Dravaks?

The two geniuses, originally from Enor, shook their heads as they imagined his tragic end.

But on the battlefield, no one could see that Liam’s face showed absolute calm.

There was no sign that he was making an irrational decision - on the contrary, he was sure of himself!

Liam’s little sword was soon to confront Kaelor’s giant sword!

Kaelor was already looking at his next target, since according to his perception, he was undoubtedly going to beat this little human to a pulp.

But suddenly something strange happened.

Liam’s sword passed through Kaelor’s!

"What?" suddenly shouted Kaelor.

And he wasn’t the only one. Everyone was surprised by this strange event, most of them not having seen it properly.

"Liam managed to dodge?" questioned Ivan, frowning.

He had to know that if it had been him, he would certainly have died on that one!

Faced with a brute like Kaelor, only Maxime’s elite mercenaries had the strength to stand up to him!

To contain him, we needed the deputy captain Andrew, the captain’s wife and commander, Laura, as well as Kaite, who was a knight!

"It should rather be Kaelor who missed?"

"Can a monster like him still miss?"

Ivan and Wigor looked into each other’s eyes strangely.

"Shit, dodge Ivan!"

boom

Their attention on Liam had increased too much, and they hadn’t noticed that a powerful Dravak had snuck up on them!

Ivan took a sword blow to the chest and his armor instantly crumbled to dust.

The sword went through his torso, then he was lifted into the air by the Dravak, with the sword still stuck in his body.

"Shit, let him go!" suddenly shouted Wigor, filled with rage as she rushed at him.

But this Dravak watched this rookie rush towards him with disdain, and simply pushed him away with his left arm, severely wounding Wigor and causing him to spit blood.

Ivan watched this scene from the air in despair, as his body seemed to have entered a vegetative state.

He felt nothing, and could no longer move a limb.

The Dravak threw Ivan’s body into the air, then, as Ivan’s body fell, he delivered a powerful backward kick into his torso!

Ivan’s body was propelled at phenomenal speed through the ranks of the Saber-toothed Tigers, wounding many mercenaries in the process!

Finally, it was Rodrigo who caught Ivan’s destroyed body with difficulty.

"Is he still alive?" asked Andrew, without looking at Ivan and Rodrigo.
