Book 5-3.4

Pere started to get nervous. His enemy was slowly approaching him step by step.

Most importantly, the green flag with a white shamshir that represented Venersis, caught his eye.

For the longest time, they needed to run away to the oasis as soon as they saw that flag. There has never been a time that this green flag was broken by Pareia.

Since that was what he was attempting to do for the first time, and knowing that failure meant the sacrifices of the warriors who were involved in this plan would have been for naught, Pere had to calm his beating heart to coldly lead his warriors.

Do not fight him head on. Also, do not put your life on the line.

That was what Runa had said before he left, and Pere had no thoughts about going against it. Even though he knew he himself had gotten stronger, there was still a large gap between him and his brother. Knowing that, there was no way he could fight against Venersis who was his brother’s equal.

However, that single line that Pere saw a few days ago made him change his mind.

That was a single perfect escape route, and a way that could completely destroy the enemy. Suddenly being able to see that line was really the heavens helping Pareia. At least that is what Pere firmly believed.

Furthermore, the remaining Greatest Warriors agreed with Pere’s opinion. Pere’s line was perfect even in the eyes of the experienced and wise Greatest Warriors.

If they used this line properly, Pere believed they could destroy that Venersis. Everyone truly believed that this was the birth of another Greatest Warrior with great instincts while looking at Pere who discovered this line. Even if it was a coincidence, it would be hard to see such a line without any special abilities.

The question now was how to utilize it properly without the enemy recognizing their plan. They had finished their preparations to make that happen.

“I will commend you for your courage to dare to stand in front of us after always hiding away and avoiding the Shuarei’s blade.”

Once both formations were prepared, one of the Shuarei’s Greatest Warriors rushed forward and mocked Pareia.

“Whether it is an attack on an oasis, defending an oasis, or even fighting it out on the field like this, it is all part of war. Who dares to speak nonsense when we all know this to be the case!”

Pere rushed forward as well and shouted back.

“I am Ombrella Yanada, the Shuarei’s Sharp Gaze buried in the Shamshir. Who are you that dares to come fight me?”

“I am Pere Provoke, Pareia’s Strong Power, the one with Two Hands strength in One. I wish to do a battle of Greatest Warriors with you. Do you dare have a taste of the strength of my shamshir?”

“Ombrella does not avoid a battle.”

The two men glared at each other before rushing forward toward each other with their shamshirs at the same time.

Prrrrrrrrr~!

The rough breathing of the pirmas filled their ears.

“Hayaaa~yaaaaa~yaaaaaaa~!”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaat~!”

With a loud shout, the two warriors fiercely swung their shamshirs at each other.

Clang!

After the loud sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, the two shamshirs were pressing against each other with the desire to slash the other in half.

When it came to strength, nobody in Pareia could beat Pere, and that seemed to be the case for the Shuarei as well.Ombrella’s shamshir started to get pushed back little by little.

“Yaaaaaaaah!”

Pere shouted out once more before putting even more strength into the shamshir. Almost instantly, Pere’s shamshir broke through Ombrella’s defense and swung toward his chest, but Ombrella leaned toward the side of the pirma to avoid it.

After taking the advantage, Pere continued to attack Ombrella. This led to the Pareia’s formation cheering out loudly.

‘He is that young warrior I saw last time.’

Venersis looked toward Pere and remembered that he was the younger of the two brothers he saved last time.

Yulian was one thing, but seeing even the younger brother having grown up to be a great warrior like this, Venersis was feeling a bit bitter.

Putting aside the fact that he let them go, there were currently no Greatest Warriors in his Shuarei that could fend off these two brothers. Even in his personal brigade the Desert Sword, there were probably less than five warriors who could fight against that young warrior.

While Venersis was shortly deep in his thought, Pere used his overwhelming strength to put Ombrella in danger.

Venersis rushed his pirma forward. He could not lose Ombrella right now.

“Since you are the enemy’s overall Commanding Officer, it is only right that I take you on.”

Venersis approached them and saved Ombrella from danger with a single swing, before saying that in a monotone voice.

Pere subconsciously flinched.

After exchanging blows with Venersis in the first battle, he was very clear about the difference in their strength.

“I will decline a Greatest Warrior battle with you! Our Glow will personally take you on!”

Pere turned his pirma around as he shouted like that and Venersis did not chase after the young warrior who had shown his back. He had already won this Greatest Warrior battle.

“All units charge!”

“Oowaaaaaaaaa~!”

Once Venersis pointed his shamshir and shouted loudly, the Shuarei’s forces let out a shout as they rushed forward.

Seeing the Shuarei’s warriors pushing forward, Pere looked at the lead warriors who nodded their heads. They had already discussed how they will move in today’s battle, and that exchange was to just confirm their plan.

Pareia and Shuarei’s warriors quickly approached each other and engaged each other.

It was always the same method, but knowing it did not do much good. Venersis and the Desert Sword’s line of attack was unstoppable. It was similar to the current line of attack used by Yulian and the Red Storm.

For a while, Pareia’s warriors fought valiantly against the Shuarei’s warriors, but their formation was slowly breaking apart through Venersis’s movement. They started to get pushed back and the formation started to break down even faster.

Pere realized that waiting any longer would result in all of them dying and shouted out loudly.

“All units retreat!”

After receiving Pere’s order, the warriors gathered with their lead warrior before starting their retreat.

The three thousand warriors and lead warriors who had already made up their mind to give their lives up to buy the rest time to retreat waited in the rear before shouting out loudly and rushing toward the Shuarei once the main forces rushed by them.

Their mission was to defend until the main forces were able to increase their speed of retreat. By the time Pareia’s main forces were able to get their pirmas at full speed, there was less than 1,000 of these warriors left.

“Retreat.”

The only one of three lead warriors who was still alive gave the order to retreat, but these warriors were already surrounded by the 20,000 Shuarei warriors and had no escape path.

The remaining warriors were instantly captured or killed, and Pere clenched his teeth watching it happen. He had pushed 3,000 warriors to death for a single opportunity.

‘I will definitely pay them right back.’

Pere firmed his resolve toward the dead warriors as he started to control the speed of their retreat. If they retreated too quickly and the enemy did not arrive at the line, all of this would have been for no reason.

On the other hand, seeing Pareia’s warriors continue to fight without giving up until the end, he felt that he was pretty accurate about this Greatest Warrior.

‘His leadership skills are still weak. I don’t know what they are planning, but if you have been defending all this time and suddenly attack with an attack that didn’t amount to much, who would not suspect something? I do not think that Pareia’s Commanding Warrior would be that stupid.’

Venersis looked toward the retreating warriors and continued to think.

‘You seemed to want to draw us in, but if you wanted to do that, you should have had some head-on battles with us earlier on. Retreating is definitely a strategy. A tactical retreat...fine. I will follow you to make up for your warriors who have died for your stupid plan. Show me what you have prepared.’

At first, Venersis had no desire to chase after them and had Buchord prepared in the rear just in case, but he changed his mind after witnessing Pareia’s warriors who stayed true to their mission until the end. Furthermore, he was confident that normal traps and ambushes would not shake him.

“All units, let’s chase after Pareia and mock their stupid Greatest Warriors.”

Once they received Venersis’s command, the Shuarei warriors, who now had the momentum, pushed forward as Venersis ordered the lead warriors to not get too excited and fix up their formation as they chased after Pareia.

The chase between the Shuarei and Pareia had started.
