Chapter 58
With Alex taking the reins, his people were able to get back safely and a new batch of soldiers appeared behind him who were quite fresh and were brimming with energy.
Alex ordered them to stay together and provide support and only fight with those who reach near them and attack them.
Alex made his way through the hoard of monsters by smashing everything in his path.
Everything that appeared before him was either blown away or crushed by the hammer.
The hammer was made of stainless steel along with some other metals and it weighed around 500 kg.
According to Alex’s measurement, for now, Alex has the strength to lift 400 kg in each hand and if required, he can grind his teeth and force his body to reach near 500 kg in each hand.
He swung the hammer and spun around giving blows after blows.
There were a huge number of beasts coming at him and there were no missed hits
Every time he swung the huge hammerhead, cracking sounds of bones were heard and anyone that came within Alex’s radius was blown away.
Making its way, Alex finally felt the presence of stronger ones who seemed to control the beast tide.
They had reached disciples ranked and there were three to four of them.
Alex dragged the hammer and ran towards the huge beast that was giving the knights a hard time by blowing air and creating a storm of wind with its huge trunk
After giving instruction, Alex jumped forward and smashed the incoming elephntalish with the hammer
BOOOM!
A loud cracking sound was heard and the elephntalish was forced to take a few steps back, it felt that the hit by Alex had broken its skull and it was unable to raise its trunk.
As Alex went for the final blow, he felt a piercing claw coming straight at its throat.
Alex pulled the long shaft of the hammer backwards and spun the hammer around, he swung it to shield himself.
The hammer made a complete revolution and emerged from the other side and beat the beast with a strong force that knocked him out.
The beast was a shadow Panther that made an attack by hiding in shadow but how can it remain hidden from Alex’s mana detector.
While Alex took on the elephntalish and a shadow panther, a huge flame was shot towards Alex.
It didn’t care about the other beasts. For it, as long as the human was killed, it didn’t care about the hoard.
BOOM!
The flame burst in front of Alex and the surrounding temperature shot by a few degrees and a small explosion took place.
“Your Highness!”
“Your Highness!”
Screams were heard from both Alex’s soldiers and Steelfield knights as they saw Alex hit by the huge flames and they wanted to rush forward to help.
Swishhhhh!
With a heavy stomp that shook the earth, a figure was shot up in the sky.
The direction of his jump was towards the beast who shot the fire.
Appearing over the top, Alex roared”Die!”
With a loud shout, he raised the hammer head and smashed it on top of the beast.
The muscles of his arms bulged and contracted to the maximum to increase his strength to the limit.
BANG!
The ground shook by the blow and the beast was crushed into meat paste before the weight of a hammer and the strength of Alex.
A streak of notifications flashed before Alex’s eyes.
[You have killed a mid disciple ranked firehippo. You have gained 250 experience points]
The soldiers saw Alex safe and sound and ran toward their king but they halted in their steps when they saw Alex’s cold gaze which gave a chill down the spine.
“Get Back.”
Alex’s command was like God’s war which can’t be refused by anyone and the soldiers started to gather in their formation.
….
On the top of the fortress, Aeon and Hamilton looked at the scene and were surprised by the way Alex commands his troops.
The troop’s coordination was quite good and they were quite skilled in their assessments as they coordinated in an orderly fashion to rotate the warriors to take them down.
Most of the time the defender will stay in the front to delay the attack followed by the spearman taking the charge and following that the swordsman would provide backup and these two would rotate in shifts according to the situation.
Though, it wasn’t that they were perfect and were able to execute the instruction perfectly.
Thinking about the current state of Nevan, this soldier can be said to be quite elite.
Hamilton shivered at the thought of all of them reaching disciples ranked.
Orderly and well-trained disciples ranked soldiers like these with around 2000 can wreak havoc.
The minimum level of a soldier of Kinley is at master level. With disciples ranked, one can only be a recruit in training.
But one needs to see that it hadn’t been two months since Alex had awakened from a coma and so many changes had taken place.
If this goes on and things progress at a rapid pace, Alex will surely raise Nevan to an unfathomable height.
“Aeon, did you see that?” Hamilton asked.
“Yes, father!” Aeon nodded.
“Highness isn’t as simple as it looks. He sees the situation differently. See rather than holing up inside the formation, he is fighting by himself.”
“I think you should follow him. This place is too small for you. I want you to spread your wings. Under His Highness’s leadership and farsightedness, you will surely become strong.”
Ben and Max heard Count Hamilton praising their king and almost vomited blood.
They knew Alex was fighting alone just for enjoyment and Hamilton’s reasons were far from the truth.
While others were seeing the beasts as danger, the only thing Alex could see was exp, tons of experience that had just come to help him level up.
Since they have come to help me, it would be rude for him to ignore them.
