Elemental Cats-Chapter 438 Sprouting Tornado (3)
?Hidden away from the Tribe of Death's unsuspecting gaze behind the golden barrier, the Alliance of Kingdoms and their allies began to move. The human troops split in half and squeezed together at the sides of the barrier, making sure not to show themselves past the golden wall.
Two groups comprised of powerful combatants stepped forth from behind the backlines and sneaked through the military support camp, where the potion runners, medics, and the like were stationed. The two groups were relatively small, a handful of people each, so their movements didn't grab the attention of the few enemies who saw over the golden wall from their raised platforms.
The military support camp was always bustling with activity as supplies and injured combatants were shuffled back and forth from the fighting. A few more people moving around wouldn't raise any suspicions, especially not when they were blending in perfectly with the rest of the people milling about the camp.
However, when the two groups were covered by the golden wall, they discarded their disguises. They headed toward the two groups waiting at the edges of the golden wall and took their positions as spearheads. The group with the Lightning Rascals as the core had a literal spearhead leading the charge as Vatel's body and spear surged with lightning.
When everyone had assumed their positions, the golden barrier put up by the Golden Puppeteers Golden Gorilla Legion also reached its limit. The barrier cracking became the starting signal of the Alliance of Kingdoms' mad charge toward the surprised forces of the Tribe of Death.
The two spring-like parts of the army raced to catch up to their two spearheads, one of silver and the other of lightning. Since the golden wall's fragments prevented them from charging straight forward, the two halves of the army ran in a curved path and created two crescent charges. The arched paths led the two parts of the army to wrap around to the Tribe of Death's side and create an unexpected pincer attack.
The Tribe of Death's forces hurried to defend themselves against the attack by putting up barriers and launching magic simultaneously.
But the curved cone of silver pierced through the defenses and deflected all the magic attacks, protecting the body of the charge and allowing all the troops easy access to the tribe of Death's forces.
On the other side, the Lightning Rascals and the few other combatants from other Transcendent Factions also swept away the magic coming toward them so that Vatel's lightning spear could pierce through the defenses trying to block their advance. Hassandra was frantically moving her hands around to manipulate the net of invisible threat to protect both her, the Lightning Rascals, and the rest of the charging combatants from the cascade of magic flying toward them.
Sweat dripped down her brow as she furrowed it in concentration, but she didn't falter for even a moment as she supported her comrades in completing the mission that was a little more than they had signed up for when they first came to the battlefield. But it was too late to regret it now. And based on the looks of Vatel, Hullie, and Kaler, they also knew that the only way out was through the Tribe of Death, though Vatel looked more excited and happy about fighting like a madman rather than resolved to do his best to survive.
Hassandra almost let out a sigh at Vatel's attitude. Thankfully, Kaler and Hullie were fully concentrated on supporting Vatel's charge. Hullie used his wind magic to extend the reach of Vatel's lightning, and Kaler controlled and redirected the impacts on their enemies so that they flew into other enemies.
Kaler's unique magic was subtle, but it helped in creating chaos within enemy ranks as she redirected and strengthened the impacts of various attacks. It almost looked like she was pulling strings attached to the enemies as she made them fall in weird directions and collide with their allies in the middle of casting magic or trying to pull their weapons.
The Lightning Rascals led the charge as deep as they could into the ranks of the Tribe of Death's forces. With the support of their allies and half an army, they neared the center of their enemies before they began to lose speed.
However, that was only the beginning of the battle, and Vatel released the lightning he had charged up in his spear in a large bolt that flew straight forward. The tree-sized lightning bolt tore through the Tribe of Death. Sparks flew from it and burned nearby enemies.
But the lightning bolt didn't go far before it reached the curved silver cone of the other spearhead charge, just as General Scoll had planned. Hassandra spared a moment to admire the view as the lightning bolt hit the cone and scattered into the thick of the Tribe of Death's forces.
And with that, the two halves of the Alliance's army had created a line to separate the Tribe of Death's forces in half as well. Naturally, since the Alliance's troops were now surrounded by enemies on all sides, they were at an absolute disadvantage. The charge had been tremendously effective and led the army straight to the Tribe of Death's forces with barely any casualties. But that was quickly changing. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Without the momentum of the charge, the human forces could withstand the Tribe of Death's counterattack. As soon as they regained their composure, the Tribe of Death would begin launching wave upon wave of terrifying magic toward the Alliance of Kingdoms' troops that had willingly charged straight into the middle of the enemy forces.
But General Scoll wasn't so short-sighted that he hadn't looked so far ahead. Separating the Tribe of Death like that and creating a line using the Alliance's troops was all part of his plan. And it was all because of the Golden Puppeteer's willingness to contribute as much as possible to the war against the Tribe of death.
The Alliance of Kingdoms' troops were caught between two groups of their enemies, but the same could be said for the Tribe of Death's forces.
