Dragon Monarch System

On the other right side, Henry and Eleanor were killing enemies together. Unlike others, Henry and Eleanor's killing speed wasn't that fast. Both of them were trying to preserve their strength for the later part of the battle. The fight on the right side was less chaotic.

However, Amber was a different story. With the awakening of her Royal Fox queen bloodline, her stats have taken a massive leap. She now can fight with mid 2nd-order.

Among everyone, Amber's agility was the highest. She was known for her agility. With the awakening of her bloodline, she also managed to awaken the fire element, giving her the ability to learn fire-type techniques. Amber was the only person who was cultivating both body and magical paths. Thanks to the pills that Julia gave her, combined with her hard work, Amber's cultivation speed was fast enough to compete with the geniuses of this world.

Holding a 2-star curved dagger that Aditya enchanted with rune magic, Amber appeared behind the enemy troops.

"Time to see how much this dagger can do."

[Angel of Slaughter]

[Peak 2-star dagger]

[Description]: - A special type of dagger that was forged by an experienced blacksmith. This dagger was later enchanted with rune magic which further improved the ranks and power of the Angel of slaughter.]

Swoosh!

Amber started attacking the enemy soldiers from behind. Her speed was so fast that non of the soldiers were able to see her coming. She moved like a lightning snake within the crowd of soldiers. When she passed by a soldier, a second or two later, other soldiers would find that soldier dead with a cut on his throat.

Starfall explosion!

After finding herself surrounded by enemy soldiers, Amber created a yellow gold star made out of the fire. The flame star was 10 meters in size. Seeing the attack above their heads, many tried to stop Amber with low-level attacks that she easily avoided using her agility.

Booooom!!!

Leaving behind the 10 meters big golden star that was made out of the fire, Amber appeared 100 meters away and continued with her killing not bothering to look back at the loud explosion that instantly took away the lives of hundred soldiers.

The entire battle was a one-sided massacre. The army of the Zulux Dynasty was already exhausted. Many didn't even have the mana to use any spells. This gave the soldiers of the Istarin Kingdom a chance. Taking advantage of the enemy's exhaustion, they continuously launched attacking spells.

With the 7 personal generals sent by Aditya, the battle soon became a one-sided slaughter. The Zulux dynasty army was being pushed back while being on the defense. Many were struggling to even properly defend themselves. Despite their massive number, they were overwhelmed by the Istarin soldiers.

"This is bad. If this continues I will lose this battle." Aris realized what was happening. He clearly knew that bringing an exhausted army to fight was a clear mistake. He should have thought more and let the soldiers rest. Not even 30 minutes had passed and more than half of the Zulux dynasty army had died.

"I have to flee." After killing one of the Istarin soldiers, Aris turned around his horse and started going in the same direction from which he and his army came.

Zayne who has been keeping his eyes on the enemy saw Aris fleeing. He immediately shouted and let everyone know. "The enemy commander is fleeing. Stop him. Whoever kills the enemy commander shall get a special reward."

Hearing Zayne's tempting words, many soldiers turned their attention to Aris who was fleeing. He was killing anyone who tried to stop him. He still was a 2nd-order. For him, killing soldiers was no problem. In fact, Aris had enough strength to fight for 3 hours, but he knew it was useless. Soon the army of the Zulux Dynasty would perish. He would have no choice but to flee.

"Once I get back, I will return and pay back all the humiliation that I have suffered today." Aris's eyes flashed in anger as he fled for his life.

"I don't think we're letting you leave this battlefield alive." Aris suddenly heard a seductive voice that sent chills down his spine. Before he could turn around his head, he found his headless body riding the horse as his head flew in the air and then fell to the ground.

"The enemy commander is dead. I order all the Zulux Dynasty soldiers to surrender otherwise only the Istarin Kingdom wouldn't mind ending your pathetic lives."

Amber purposely used mana to make her voice even louder so that her words could be heard all over the battlefield. Just as she expected, other than a few percentages of soldiers almost all the exhausted soldiers immediately gave up and stopped fighting.

"The fight is over for now." And like that the first and one of the most important battle of this upcoming war was won by the Istarin Kingdom.

Most soldiers lost their will to fight seeing their commander die. They put their weapons down and surrendered to the Istarin Kingdom. After doing all the cleanups, and counting, it was already midnight.

"Today, we have lost around 4,399 soldiers." The storm has not stopped yet. It was very difficult to clean the battlefield and dispose of the corpses. In the end, Zayne ordered the soldiers to take any useable weapons, armors, and shields for reuse. Zayne had no choice but to bury all the dead soldiers with a layer of earth.

"How many Zulux dynasty troops did we capture?" Scott, the dark elf asked back while having soup that was made with the meat of magical beasts. Unlike normal animals, the meat of magical beasts was rich in mana. Eating magical beasts' meat had many benefits to the body of a cultivator. One of those benefits was it helped cultivators in recovering faster.

"They had over 30,000 troops at the beginning. In today's fight, we managed to kill around 17,000. Now we have nearly 28,500 soldiers, that is if we include the soldiers that we captured as our war prisoners."

"What if the captured soldiers try to escape? Their number is too big." Henry asked in a cold tone. By now everyone had gotten used to Henry's cold attitude. Everyone knew that Henry was actually not a cold person, inside he was a warm person. It's just that due to certain incidents of the past, his personality had changed and become cold.

Henry's question made others look at Zayne in concern. If the captured war prisoner escapes, this would a huge loss for them. "You guys are worrying too much. In this storm, they can't escape anywhere. Besides I have told the chief to put a special pill in their food. This pill can suppress their mana for 12 hours." Amber, the seductive fox said as she ate her food.

"Also, I have put some soldiers in disguise among the prisoners. If they wanted to do anything suspicious, my men would let me know." This time Nathan opened his mouth. Nathan was the quietest one in the whole group. He preferred to stay quiet and observe.

"I have to say I am really impressed. I can see why his Majesty choose you 7 as his generals." Even during the battle, Zayne witnessed how talented each of them was. Each general specialized in using different abilities.

"By the way, I have this meaning to ask. Where is his majesty? He was not there during this battle? He didn't even tell us where he was heading." Josh asked while finishing his soup. He already has eaten 4 bowls of soups. Being a beast man, he needed to eat thrice as much food as others.

"His Majesty is doing something important. He told me to not tell anyone where he was. For now, he let us handle the situation. If there is any emergency, then I will send an emergency message to his majesty using this artifact that he gave me." Zayne showed a crescent-shaped earring.

"I can't wait to fight alongside his Majesty. I really want to see him in action." Josh has heard from Amber and Watson that Aditya was really strong. He was able to kill a Peak 2nd-order when he was still at 1st-order.

"If his Majesty was here, then this battle would have ended even quicker." Zayne smiled remembering how he annihilated 5,000 troops with a single attack. Zayne had seen how terrifying that attack was. And now that Aditya had reached 2nd-order, Zayne wondered how terrifying his fighting powers had reached.

The next day, the storm was still going on, showing no signs of stopping.

"I see. You and everyone have done really well. I will be sure to reward everyone for their hard work." Aditya was relieved after learning how the situation turned out. This situation was very favorable for their condition.

"My work here is almost done. I should return soon."
