Chapter 268: Chapter 268
While General Ludwig was casually chatting with the armoured woman behind the lines, the mayor’s forces were panicking. The two commanders were sweating buckets as their forces kept being pushed back by the armoured woman’s army. “What the hell are you all doing? We have numbers on our side, numbers! How can you let yourself be outdone by the army of adventurers and volunteers!?” One of the commanders yelled out loud. “You guys are shite! Properly maintain your formation. Hey, you that are in the right flank! Don’t just back down like that! Show more fight, damn it!” yelled another commander.
Both of them gritted their teeth as they felt humiliated by all of this. Then, the first commander looked back at the slightly large man with a curly moustache, “Sir, if we don’t get the reinforcements pretty soon, we are going to get routed”, he said with worry on his face. “Yes, Mr Mayor. We need those reinforcements soon”, pleaded another commander. The slightly large man with a curly moustache growled before stomping his foot, “Incompetent! Just facing these guys, and you already cried out for reinforcements”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache shouted.
“But, Mr Mayor—” “No buts. Let me show you how it is done”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s eyes turned green. After that, the slightly large man with a curly moustache jumped before landing right between the armoured woman’s forces. “It’s the mayor! The mayor has delivered himself to us to die! Everyone, kill him!” shouted one of the people inside of the armoured woman’s army.
“Imbeciles. You don’t know what’s good for yourself!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s eyes glowed green. “Disappear!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache raised his green gauntlet. The green gauntlet glowed before letting out a green mana pulse. General Ludwig squinted his eyes when watching this as bad feelings arose within his heart. “Everyone, get clear!” the armoured woman shouted, but alas, it was all too late. The green mana pulse exploded, blasting the people around the slightly large man with a curly moustache into smithereens.
“What in the world….” General Ludwig exclaimed. “Mana? The Mayor could use mana? Wasn’t he a 4th Grade Aura Master? How could he use mana?” the armoured woman furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. General Ludwig scrutinized the slightly large man with a curly moustache, observing him closely as he ploughed through the armoured woman’s forces. “It’s likely that green gauntlet in his right hand. That is more than likely an artefact”, General Ludwig said with a heavy tone. The armoured woman gulped, “No matter what, we need to stop him from wreaking havoc more than this”, the armoured woman said.
“My sentiments exactly. Syndra, come. Follow my lead”, General Ludwig said before rushing toward the slightly large man with a curly moustache. “Yes, general”, the armoured woman replied as she followed closely behind General Ludwig. “Stop it, you bastard!” the armoured woman shouted as she and General Ludwig finally landed right before the slightly large man with a curly moustache. “Ah, Commander Syndra. It’s unfortunate that we met in these circumstances. Had I known you are more capable than those two blockheads, I wouldn’t mind stealing you from that bastard Alexandro”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache said with a hint of provocation in his voice. “Bastard! Your reign of terror ends here, you fat fuck!” the armoured woman swore out loud while pointing her sword at the slightly large man with a curly moustache.
“Heh”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache let out a small chuckle before he turned his head to look at the disguised General Ludwig. “And who might you be? A volunteer peasant or a filthy adventurer?” the slightly large man with a curly moustache asked while twirling his own moustache. “Just a passing volunteer”, General Ludwig quipped as he took out his trident. “As expected, a peasant. How could you let a peasant like him join your army, Syndra? As a matter of fact, why did you let all those imbeciles, peasants and filthy adventurers join your army? It’s disgusting to look at”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache mocked. “Someone like you will never understand”, the armoured woman scoffed.
“It’s that Alexandro, isn’t it? That bastard, that rude bastard! If only he had listened to me! If only he did not rebel. If only he stayed beneath me for all of his life! All of these will never happen!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache yelled as madness began to swallow him up. His eyes glowed bright green, and green mana particles surrounded him. “You are mad”, the armoured woman exclaimed as she readied her sword and shield. “Be careful; he is strong”, General Ludwig warned. “Hahahaha! What better way to punish such insubordination than stealing all of his loved ones?” the slightly large man with a curly moustache laughed maniacally. Then, the slightly large man with a curly moustache glared at the armoured woman with a dangerous gaze, “I’m going to dismantle all the things Alexandro loved. Starting with you!”
Then, the slightly large man with a curly moustache pointed his right palm at the armoured woman before shooting green energy blasts. “Watch out!” General Ludwig shouted before he and the armoured woman jumped away, avoiding the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s energy blasts. “Argh!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s energy blasts hit the people fighting behind General Ludwig and the armoured woman, killing them instantly and turning them into ashes. “Hahaha! Where are you going?” the slightly large man with a curly moustache laughed as he sent another barrage of green energy blasts. Fortunately, General Ludwig and the armoured woman managed to avoid the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s energy blasts.
Unfortunately, the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s energy blasts hit both the armoured woman and the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s army, killing them with ease. “Stop it, you fat fuck! You are hurting your own forces!” the armoured woman yelled. “My own forces? Oh, you mean them?” the slightly large man with a curly moustache pointed at his fallen soldiers, “They are just fodders for me to rise above the clouds. And, why should I stop? This feels so good!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache said as he licked the green gauntlet in his right hand. “You are sick in the head”, the armoured woman gritted her teeth in anger. “Calm down, Syndra”, General Ludwig barked, “He’s already gone mad”, he exclaimed.
“I know, general”, the armoured woman gripped her sword tighter. “It’s good if you know. I think it’s about time we strike back”, General Ludwig said with a smile. “My sentiments exactly”, the armoured woman smiled back before swiping her sword with two of her fingers. “Lightning”, the armoured woman softly chanted. After that, the armoured woman’s sword was clad in blue-coloured thunder, “I’ll go first. Cover me, General”, the armoured woman said before dashing forward. “I’m right behind you”, General Ludwig replied as he closely followed the armoured woman. “Done escaping? Haha, that’s right, get over here!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache grinned. Then, the slightly large man with a curly moustache clenched his right fist before punching the air in the direction of the armoured woman.
“Tch”, the armoured woman clicked her tongue before evading the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s energy punch. “You evaded that? Then, how about this?” the slightly large man clenched both of his fists before sending a barrage of energy punches toward the armoured woman. “Damn it!” the armoured woman cursed under her breath as she used her shield to protect herself from the incoming attacks. “I’m sorry, but I’m going ahead”, General Ludwig said as he ran passed the armoured woman. “You filthy peasant! Don’t interfere in my fun with Syndra”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache shouted when he saw that General Ludwig was closing in with his trident in hand.
“Die!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache grabbed the air with his green gauntlet. Then, green mana particles gathered around the gauntlet before it exploded. “This will never works against me”, General Ludwig smirked. Then, General Ludwig fully displayed his strength as a 6th Grade Aura Master by completely fending off the explosion with a swipe of his trident. Then, General Ludwig twirled his trident before brandishing it toward the slightly large man with a curly moustache. “Playtime is over. Rest in hell, Mr Mayor!” General Ludwig said as he thrust his trident towards the slightly large man with a curly moustache’s chest. “Urgh”, the slightly large man with a curly moustache clutched his bleeding chest. “It’s over”, General Ludwig said softly.
However, General Ludwig suddenly frowned before jumping back a few times. “What’s wrong, General?” the armoured woman asked. “Look”, General Ludwig pointed with his finger while furrowing his eyebrows. “Haha, that was scary. You peasant! You will pay with your blood!” the slightly large man with a curly moustache let out a roar as the wounds on his chest were beginning to heal.
