Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 172 172:Promotion

Ian, Sander, and Vikram along with several others that were charging ahead towards Leon suddenly stopped as the monsters beside them were frozen and then blasted away into shards of broken snow.

Following that, a gust of wind passed through them leaving behind a blur.

"What's that?"Sander murmured with a shiver as he felt a chilling sensation down his spine.

"Ghost! It is a Virgin Ice Ghost" Vikram screamed in, only to get hit by Ian.

"That's Commander Irina!"Ian shouted with sight and pointed, "Look there, shithead."

On turning their gazes, they saw a woman gliding over the place over a snow track of frozen monsters of the battlefield.

And in just a matter of seconds, a wave of cloudy icy mist blasted away the front line of the monster and soon she took her position.

From afar soldiers' eyes widened as they gasped at the sight of the duo standing at the front clearing the monster.

With well-crafted coordination, the two swept forward pushing back the Orc front lines.

A staggering number of corpses are piled on both sides and the ground has already turned mushy, drenched from blood.

It was a sight of absolute menace.

But they didn't have the leisure time to keep looking longer.

"Everyone! What are you doing? Advance."

"We have gathered momentum and two warriors are clearing things in front to support them."

The Captains shouted and soon the formations were back in place.

"ADVANCE!"

"ADVANCE!"

"ADVANCE!"

....

At the back, where the commanders stood with a solemn expression, all of them looked at Cameron.

"Commander Cameron, what should we do? Isn't this risky? Commanded Irina charge, gonna break the balance, and due to his Martial King from the other side might be pouring in."

Cameron's brown eyes glowed with an unknown luster as he observed the flow of the battlefield.

The reason why Commanders and Vice Commanders hadn't engaged till now was because the Martial King from the other side hadn't entered and they didn't even know the number of Martial Kings from the other side. So waited until the other side moved.

If too many Martial Kings just enter at the beginning, both sides are gonna suffer heavy casualties but they aren't in the position to afford so many deaths at this point.

'The enemy army is huge. We can't engage in a long war and they might have more soldiers. We need to push them and hold the lines.'

Cameron paused a bit and looked at Mac.

"Commander Mac, how long until we get the second batch of soldiers from outside."

Mac and others frowned on hearing the question, "Approximately 10 days or less."

"Isn't that too long? Are they asking us to hold for that long?"Commander Elena spoke.

"Damn! Are they planning to bury us all here?"Commander Genrad screamed, throwing his hats."They can send the troops now but they are just halting and waiting for our results."

"Calm down."

"Be patient Commander Genard."

"Calm down! My Ass!"Genard spat, pushing people aside.

Cameron sighed and taking a moment to think, he gave his command.

"Currently 15000 are one move and 13000 are standby."

"Bring out an additional 7000 troops and add 3000 to the frontline to strengthen the difference."

"Huh!"

A look of bewilderment flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Additional troops..What are you going to do with that?"Elena's voice faltered and her eyes stared at Cameron weary.

Cameron looked around with a faint smile.

"You all know what we are here for. And if anything happens, we can still escape out of the gate as a Commander but they can't," Cameron paused a little and glanced over the chaos gripping over the battlefield.

"I value my life and I will run for my life if there is a deadly crisis but...."

Cameron's eyes burned furiously with a battle-maniac spirit.

"But today isn't the day. The number difference is too huge so when Irina and that guy are drawing attention, I will lead the additional troops from the other side and kill their Commander. It's our only way to win despite the number difference. So leaving a handful, every Commander and Vice Commander would accompany me."

"I object," Mac shouted, shaking his head and adding, "Too risky…

This is too risky."

"You are not in a position to object to my decision. I am the head Commander now," Cameron smiled softly, irritating Mac.

"If I knew this was gonna happen, I wouldn't have voted for you."Mac snorted.

Cameron chuckled and looked around resolutely.

"Commander Mac please lead the troops here and draw their frontline attention while those who want to accompany me please follow me. If all Martial Kings take part in the battle we may wrap it more easily so everyone please cooperate."

"Insolent."Milano screamed."You are just sending us to our death."

Following Milano, various voices also rose to support him. Mainly those who had voted against Cameron resisted.

"We can't do that."

"Do you think we will follow your order and just sacrifice our lives?"

"Stop being naive! I can't follow such an order."

Veins bulged over Cameron's forehead as he listened to their nonsense.

Each one of them was a piece of dark shit that only thought of themselves.

They sacrificed a major chunk of their army in the journey as they formed a formation of soldiers around them as the center to protect their lives and sacrificed the soldiers.

In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that they sacrificed their men to get themselves here.

These people don't even take low-level soldiers as humans. For them, it was a great deed for others to die and protect them.

"This is suicide. I won't agree."

Cameron massaged his forehead and sighed exasperatedly

"Commander Milano!"

A hoarse voice escaped from Cameron's lips with a blood-killing intent.

"Then what about the soldiers who are fighting for their lives? Each second we waste time spouting bullshit, many soldiers are dying so shut your mouth. If you can't be of any help then don't be any nuisance in my way."

Cameron's voice became louder as he stepped towards Milano.

"But…"

"If anyone dares to object to me now….."

SWOOSH!

An intense pressure burst from Cameron striking fear in everyone's heart.

The air stirred with a gust of storm emerging around him as the center.

As he began to speak, there was a sudden shift in the atmosphere, a feeling of unease that swept through the place.

Without warning, Cameron's eyes flashed with an otherworldly intensity as he tapped into his Warlord battle spirit.

The air crackled with energy as an invisible force seemed to radiate from him, pressing down on everyone in the place, and soon a spectacle scene unfolded as Cameron Martial Spirit materialized before them.
