Chapter 368 The Battle Begins
?The moment that Barbara saw Chiron and Mani approaching, she could already tell that Mani had changed his mind.
"Good!" She nodded, "In that case, lets begin the plan to end the Vandorian army once and for all."
They all went into the War room and made preparations.
The next few days were very uneventful. It was like the stormy sea had suddenly grown frozen with no activity whatsoever, but everyone could feel the intense vibration of the undercurrents.
After all, it was not just the Highlanders that were making plans.
Even Victor was making plans to end the Highlanders once and for all. Immerse Yourself in the Storyverse: N♡vεlB¡n.
Of course, Victor's confidence of this came from the assurance that he had one person on the enemy's team who was actually on his side.
Naturally, this was none other than Abel.
Abel, the ever sneaky fellow he was, whispered the right words into Victor's ear.
This included the fact that a battle was approaching in the days to come.
This battle would no doubt be the deciding factor for the Vandorian army and the Highlanders.
If the Vandorians win, the Highlanders would be restricted one more time to period of slavery. and if the Vandorians were to lose, the Highlanders will not only vanquish them from their lands, but also use the opportunity to invade the Vandora kingdom, and possibly the Capital city of Kandor.
For both parties, the stakes were very high. As days passed, armies assembled, blacksmiths made new weapons, working tirelessly, day and night.
Armors were made for both men and core beasts alike.
This was a battle that would definitely shake the core of the power structure of the Almace continent.
As the army matched forward, the earth itself rumbled under the sheer magnitude of their power. An army, a force to be reckon with.
Barbara was similarly dressed appropriately for the occasion. Her wild red hair was tied into Two long pony tails that fell over her shoulders. her hair had ornaments, cowries and other beautiful things.
Her face was marked with charcoal under her eyes and on her cheeks, giving her a very wild aura to her pretty girl look.
She wore only enough clothes to cover her upper body leaving her belly exposed, but her chest well protected with armor made from the skin of a wild red Core beast of Reptilian nature.
Its shell was said to be so hard, that it took the blacksmiths, three years of constant beating, for them to shape it to what it was today.
It had also been painted in the signature red of her tribe.
Her lower body was similarly covered in armor, but it covered her lower body like a skirt.
She was both dashing and beautiful, and as she walked out before the men, she appeared as a beacon. The moment that they saw her, they screamed and shouted praises to her.
After all, this was their commander that would lead them to victory.
On either of her sides, were Chiron and Mani.
Mani was dressed with a mixture of both Purple and red clothes, signifying that he had accepted both of his origin, and Chiron was dressed in full regalia yellow.
They too, wore clothes that had been made from the armor of core beasts. Although, there's were made from Blue core beasts.
In Mani's hand was the Mirror egg, the artefact that would lead them to the end that they so desired, the end of the vandorian people.
In front of the soldiers were their different commanders that would lead this battle.
A few of them were Bronze ranked cultivators and a few of them were copper ranked cultivators.
Each one of them bursting with power to bring bloodshed to the enemy.
As the men screamed and cheered her name, Barbara raised a hand and they were silent.
She began her address. "My brothers and sisters of the Highlands. Sons and daughters of the Aura bloodline. For a long time, we have suffered..."
