Their swords clashed and Grekorio enemy was pushed back, leaving two straight lines trail in the ground, Grekorio didn't let the enemy breathe and with all his strenght brought the greatsword downwards the enemy's head and him lifted his sword above his head, resulting in the enemy having his feet into the ground and his sword almost breaking from the clash, Grekorio repeated his previous action and breaking the sword from his challenger while at the same time that his enemy head become meat paste.

Leaving the headless body behind Grekorio switched target and dashed to the next one, he walked around the battlefield aiming mainly for the mages, and Layla who was chanting this entire time finished her chant knocked her staff on the rocky ground while shouting something unrecognizable.

Grekorio stared suprised at ground when bone lances came from below the enemies thrusting through the wood elves soldiers, scanning the enemy army he was suprised by how much their numbers dwindled with only this spell. Layla sat down to mediatate to recover her mp more quickly.

The skeletons corp returned to ashes but their help brought the enemy to numbers down to only 50 soldiers, while Alexandre still has 90 soldiers alive, and with Grekorio berserk-like style of fight, their number quickly become 10 in which become prisoners and their leader was between these left alive.

Grekorio standing in front of the prisoners together with Alexandre, and the leader indignant said,"You filthy trash, don't you have honor?"

Alexandre stared down at the annoying being in front of him and replied,"First of all, this is a war, and we just used tactics, simple ones that only a arrongant fool like you could fall into. Second, you would probably do the same things so don't be hypocrite."

Following Alexandre answer the enemy leader closed his mouth, then alexandre turned to Grekorio and said,"You did great. I will make sure that you get rewarded when we get back, by the way, do you have any ideia of what we should do with this guys?"

"Get the information, if not contributing we kill and pass to the next one, obviously not before torturing them a little."

Alexandre nodded and gestured for the soldiers behind him to guard the prisoners on the way to the headquarters at the Morte's city.

Grekorio was alone to his thoughts, so he couldn't help but start a monologue,'What i do after this, it's not like there will be another attack so soon, so i should go pay a visit to the orcs while waiting for the next wave.', ending his monologue he asked Woody,"Who's the strongest king between you four?"

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"First come the Undead King, then the Black Wind Falcon, for third would be me, and finally the Shadow fox. this ranking isn't fixed so i can lose to the Shadow Fox as i could win against the Black Wind Falcon, but the undead king is the strongest without doubt.", Woody answered honestly.

Restarting his monologue,'So i can get the Black Wind Falcon as a pet if i defeat it i guess.', then again he said to Woody,"Can you send a few treants to the grassland at the center of the mountain, there they will find a wooden house poorly built, order them to stay around it."

Woody did as he was ordered, then Grekorio asked,"Do you know where to can i find the Black Wind Falcon?"

"Yes."

"Then take me there after this."

"Yes, master."

Grekorio returned his attention to the front where Alexandre is, and walked there,"Capt. can i take a leave after our return?", Grekorio spoke out while approaching Alexandre.

"Sure, after all the soldiers can do whatever they want while we aren't in mission, but normally they stay in the quarters training, there's nothing wrong with you going away for a while, just don't be away for too long."

"That... I don't know how much time i will need for where i am going, maybe it take a few days or weeks.."

"Like i said, don't worry. And you will receive a rankup when we reach a the HQ, after all you showed a strength comparable to mine, so it's certain."

Alexandre turned his eyes back to the road in front of them and returned to his silentness.

Grekorio did the same and nothing better to do he started with his monologue,'Okay, so one got one problem resolved, now i jus--', before he could enjoy talking to himself someone got next to him. A female voice came from the side saying,"Hey, are you free after this? Want to go to some dungeons together?"

Glancing to the side to confirm that it's Layla. "Sorry, maybe later.",

"By the way, you are pretty strong and it's not only in level, even though you fight in a berserk way, you don't depend on luck when you swing that cumbersome sword, if someone is really watching you they can see that you react to the situation and think of a way to counter the enemy, but don't have any elaborate plan inside your head."

Grekorio was shocked at the analyze from Layla, and tried to reply her,"Though i didn't really analyzed how you fight, but by the situation in the battlefield i noticed how you commanded the undead with orders not too complex but precise and simple orders while with obvious abilities to analyze the enemies and allies used a spell that could get the enemy by suprise trying to help the allies to have time to recover their breath while diminishing the enemies numbers, right?"

Layla looked deeply at Grekorio brown eyes and asked,"Do you really don't want to come with me and a few friends in a dungeon?"

This time Grekorio truly answered her,"Sorry, i really can't. Need to do a quest that i can't delay, and the rewards will be good so i have no reason to delay."

Layla still tried to stay together with Grekorio," I can help you!"

"It's a solo quest, and unique so i can't share. Sorry."

"Okay, then see you."

"Bye."

After losing sight of Layla, Grekorio restarted his monologue,'It's not like i don't understand why she wants to come with me, after all i showed her that i am strong, not relying in my level like she said, and that i alone can level fast, meaning some secret, so she want to go with me and with that she can level up, but maybe it's just my paronoia. Better be safe than sorry.'
