345 KILLING INTEN

A sound of explosion from far away shock the battlefield.

Aero suddenly break out from his contemplation when a rain of arrows is flying toward him. All of it is travelling toward him with powerful momentum and leaving a trail of distorted area as the arrow sails the air.

Aero only smiles as his hand moves

'This is not enough to kill me!' Aero shouted. 

Every once in a while Aero would taunt the enemies. One of the effect is to raise the morale of his army, the other is to weaken the morale of the enemy

He slashes forward with his sword, a powerful momentum surged from his hand to his sword.

A sword light cut through the air and a gust of wind appears.

WHOOSH! The wind changes course and the force of his slash, deflected all the arrows to go to the direction where his sword light pointed.

He kept riding and each time a volley of arrows falls toward his direction, he would do the same moves

Aero is also using the Divine Sword technique as he fought against the enemy soldiers. When the situation is this advantageous, the battle become simple. 

He just need to keep killing and winning.

There are times Aero strategize even during the fight in the battlefield. 

But for this particular battle, he did not need to do that. This battle is only complicated during the earlier part. 

The implication and effect of the war itself is more worrying than the battle itself. Because Veranis connected the east and west roads. 

That is why the matter of Veranis rebelling is more impactful and more dangerous than fighting the battle against Veranis forces itself

The reason why Aero made so many preparation is all so that when the battle commence, they are poised for victory.

And this is what happens right now. The path of victory has been laid out by his plan. There is only one thing he needs to do right now.

As Aero passes through another mages unit that unsuccessfully try to do the same tactic and got sliced by him, he charges straight toward Iothian. 

His cavalry behind him on the other hand trample on the mages or pierce them with their long spears 

'Onwards!!' the soldiers roar with their war god and their shouts raise their morale and weaken the enemies.

Aero unleashes his Killing Intent as he keeps moving forward and that create a heavy pressure around him that causes the wind flow around him to spirals out of control.

More and more generals of Alexander moved out from their position to stop Aero advance. Aero did not feel worried about this. He is not even feeling pressured

He laughed with happiness. No one could hear his laughter amidst the din of battles and the sound of sword clashing, shield banging and the cacophony of screams and shouts

He felt quite overjoyed.

If this a normal battle, whatever happens to one general is of no consequences as long as the objective of the war could be accomplished. 

But because of Alexander safety, his generals and commanders had to abandon their carefully crafted plans, had to change their military formations and had to abandon advantageous position all so that they could save the King

Aero targeted Alexander from the very beginning. 

That is why he cut through the middle center, ignoring the other two flanks. 

Because he knows that even if he ignores the other two flanks, Kyle would be able to contain the back and with him rushing through unimpeded toward Alexander, sooner or later, the generals of Veranis had to abandon their position to save their king.

Because a king is much like a chess pieces in the game of chess

They could only take one step yet all of the chess piece need to protect it. Because without a king, the game is lost

Alexander fancy himself as a warrior King. 

In the Vilajeri Continent, there is only one King that Aero acknowledges as a true Warrior King and that is not Alexander

He is of course talking about King Zeus of Veva. That is a true Warrior King. Instead he is too good at it, at that warrior part, that Aero believes that if Zeus was instead a general, he would be more suited to that position than he is of being King.

Nonetheless, Aero is happy with the current situation.

Because the movement of these generals from their position had opens ups many weaknesses of their flanks which could be taken advantage of by the Vanheim forces in the back

The other captain and commander of the Vanheim forces uses these to chip away at the flanks and the disorderly lines. 

In chaos one could not know whether they are in the winning side or losing side. That is battle. But Aero knows, he is in the winning side

As he keeps killing the enemy, his killing intent become more palpable and solid. Even his army could feel that they are slowly being affected by their general killing intent

Aero eyes are slowly turning vicious

Aero like using this skill when he is at battle. 

Or one could said if he did not use it, he would probably not break through the rank and this skill would become useless

This is one of the hardest skill for him to rank up

Some of his skill requires him to do a fated quest. Some other requires skill point. But his killing skill is different

It requires him to keep killing

If from the beginning Aero had cultivated the image of a murdering fiend, then it would not be had for Aero to do such thing.

Maybe he would slaughter a lot of people to perfect his skill. 

Easiest way was for him to register as mercenaries and fight all over the world, killing and improving his killing intent to the highest level.

But he already had cultivated the image of an elegant and otherworldly divine strategist and statesman. If he kills people without reason, then this reputation that he had built for years would be wasted just like that

Only in war could he unleash this killing intent.

As for the soldiers that fought alongside him, they find nothing weird with the Chancellor behavior of killing people in the battlefield

If not for the Chancellor insistence to remain in civil office, there is no doubt that all military power in the Empire would listen to him

Even in the court, the military faction revered him as the War God of this generation. 

Aero has to win this war. But he also wanted to maximize his benefits. He wanted to kill as much people he could to rank up his killing intent.

Killing and bloodshed place like a battlefield in a war is the perfect place for him to kill and hone his killing intent. 

As he activated his killing intent a baleful aura rises up and swirls around him. It even affects his horse as his horse eyes turns red and also produces baleful aura.

More people appears and charging toward Aero. Some of them rides their horses while some other was mages, Druids and warriors of all kinds.

They were throwing themselves at him.

Aero did not complain. He keeps moving onwards, slashing all the way to Alexander.

He slashes his sword without stopping, and blood splashes on his horse that is also trampling those who were in the ground.

Then he was diverted by an attack on his flank. But Aero was not panicked in the least. A spear corps tries to attack his horse. 

But Aero killing intent is not something so easy to break through. He slashes the incoming spear strike and the metal spear were cut cleanly in two

he just need to kill more and then he would gain his bearing. 

He waded deep, turns his horse and kill his way and regain back his direction

And then he started riding again toward Alexander

Aero is now deep in the enemy line. Some generals of Alexander forces saw that Aero no longer dash forward during that moment where he was diverted

'Envelope them!' One of the generals shouted.

But the forces of Quentin quickly send his infantry to block these forces from enveloping Aero army

Quentin was at the rear and as such, the moment the enemy changes their formation Quentin knows what the other generals tries to do

On the battlefield right now, Aero is in the deep. 

There was a layer enveloping them but Quentin timely assistance stop this enveloping process by attacking their flanks and by plugging up the middle

Aero and his band of men could continue fighting. Aero killing intent become even more solid and even more pressuring.
