Meanwhile, at the Business District, shadows of hundreds of slaves could be seen secretly creeping towards the West Barracks.
If Leo was here, he would immediately know that all of these slaves were actually those sold in Boss Kent's Red Axe Slave House.
After agreeing to work under Leo, Boss Kent didn't hesitate to offer all of his remaining slaves to aid Leo, it was even to the point that he let Leo sign a Slave Contract with all of them, even with no payment and guarantee that Leo would really honor the promise he had made to him. He just got this feeling telling him he could trust Leo, that's why he did such an action that the majority of people would say was stupid. Well, he was a stupidly honest person in the first place, emphasis on stupid, so maybe that is also one of the reason why he didn't bother to care.
Moments later, the hundreds of slaves finally arrived at the side of the West Barracks wall, and soon after...
*BOOOOOOM!
Dozens of explosion sounded all around the West Barracks, causing the building to start collapsing due to almost all of its walls being blown into pieces. Additionally, there were also dozens of cannons from the South Barracks shooting iron balls towards them after Sebastian and Sele took over, more specifically towards the remaining walls holding support for the West Barracks.
*Rumbleeee!
*Crghhhh!
*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!
And finally, the West Barracks were destroyed, causing a lot of their soldiers to be crashed by the stones and pillars of the building into meat pastes.
*BOOOOOoooom!
Fortunately, General Sheng was able to save exactly 200 soldiers.
"Oh, someone is still remaining, let's gang on him, boys!" A Human 3 Star Magical Knight pointed at General Sheng who was in the middle of the rumbles.
"Chargeeeee!"
Seeing this, General Sheng quickly unsheathed his Pearl Lance as he pointed it straight towards the direction of the charging slaves.
"Dancing Lotus!"
*Whoooosh!
Suddenly, General Sheng vanished out from his location before as he then seemingly instantaneously appeared in the middle of the charging slaves.
*Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh! *Szzzhhhh!
Commander Sheng then sheathed his Pearl Lance, which was quickly followed after by the slaves being cut into pieces.
"Oh, I didn't expect we would also have a General here!"
Suddenly, a kid's voice sounded amongst the groups of slaves.
The slaves quickly made way as it finally revealed Dan and old man Torre walking closer towards General Sheng.
After finishing robbing the Training Ground's weapons room, Dan and old man Torre actually quickly sneaked into the North Barracks to go into the Business District.
They were really shocked the moment they saw hundreds of slaves prepared inside the Red Axe Slave House. It was completely out of their expectations that Leo would actually be able to gather this much of people, or more appropriately slaves, in only an hour or so.
"Who are you?!" Commander Sheng pointed his Pearl Lance towards Dan and old man Torre.
"What did Leo said again if ever someone asked who we are?" Dan turned to look at old man Torre and asked as he had forgotten what to say.
"He said that we can't reveal our real identity because they might have some kind of transmitter device to immediately report to their superiors. So, what we should do is tell them (*whisper)." Old man Torre replied.
"You..." General Sheng was completely shocked when his intention was found out by these two Hybrids. Behind him was a Transmitter Ring that he will use the moment he knows about any important information about them. However, he can unfortunately no longer do that because they have already found out about it.
"Okay!" Dan nodded his head before suddenly pointing his Magic staff called Glorious Staff, a Magic weapon compatible to him that he had luckily found in the Training Ground's weapons room, as he said, "A dead man doesn't need to know!"
"Tch!" General Sheng sneered, "Let's see whether you can really kill me, or is it me killing you instead!"
*Shing!
"Is that so?" Dan took a step forward before suddenly turning to look at old man Torre, "Please sit out on this one, I want to know where this man exactly got his confidence from!"
Old man Torre nodded his head.
*Bang!
*Whoooosh! *Whoooosh!
Suddenly, Dan and General Sheng vanished from their location.
*Peng! *Peng! *Peng! *Peng! *Peng!
Unexpectedly for General Sheng, Dan was actually able to easily fend off all of his attacks with his Glorious Staff.
"Oh, is this where you got your confidence from?" Dan mocked.
*Whoosh!
General Sheng quickly jumped back as he said, "Since you want to taste my most powerful attack, then take this..."
General Sheng vanished and what quickly followed after were dozens of Pearl Lance that aims straight towards Dan.
"Vanishing Lance!"
*Peng! *Peng! *Peng! *Peng! *Peng! *Peng!
*Szhhh!
Dan's shoulder was soon after revealed as a lance strike went past his clothes. Then, his waist, then his left leg, then his right collar, and lastly, his chest.
Out of 24 strikes, only 5 attacks were able to hit Dan, but only his clothes, while the rest all missed.
"How did you..." General Sheng can't help feeling disbelief as he saw that the only damage he had caused Dan was actually only his clothes.
"Dude, are you really a Mage?" Dan can't help asking. So far, all of General Sheng's attack has no evidence of Magic or even Mana used, and it was really confusing because all of it was simply Combat Techniques only, which has no significance if a Mage didn't apply any form of Magic or Mana. Although his cultivation was 7 Star, General Sheng is actually in 6 Star, so he should be able to easily transcend that 1 level difference.
"I..."
"Don't tell me you can't use magic spells?"
"I can!"
"Then show me!"
"I can only use Defensive Magic spells..."
"Whatttt?!" Dan was shocked. There was nothing wrong with learning Defensive Magic spells only, really, but to meet a Mage that only knows such kind of Magic spells, how the hell did this guy even live his life as a Mage? Use Combat Techniques to patch up his lack of attack? That's so useless, especially when fighting powerful Mages because they can easily defend any attacks that don't have any form of Magic and Mana.
"How about you attack me instead!" General Sheng proposes. Since he was good in Defensive Magic spells, then why not test his opponent to see whether his attacks could break his defense or not.
"Okayyy! But, don't blame me if you die!" Dan said as he prepared his Glorious Staff for his attack, "Flaming Shots!"
*Whoooooooooosh!
Because of the Glorious Staff, Dan's Flaming Shots spell this time was no longer in the number of dozens of fireballs, but instead of hundreds.
"This..." General Sheng immediately became afraid when he saw hundreds of fireballs floating up above Dan. He can't help thinking whether he should defend against this attack or just run instead. If he runs away, then he will be viewed as a coward, but if he stays he would become a roasted Human instead because no matter how many of his Defensive Magic spells he would use to defend from this, it would never be able to last until all the fireballs were all finally used, not to mention he might not even be able to finish casting a single Defensive Magic spell before the hundreds of fireballs reach him.
"Are you ready?" Dan asked.
"I..."
"I'll take that as a yes!" Dan said before pointing his Glorious Staff towards General Sheng.
*Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh!
With a wave of Dan's Glorious Staff, hundreds of fireballs shoot straight towards General Sheng's direction.
"F*ck this!" General Sheng didn't bother with his image anymore as he quickly flew towards the Commander's Palace. Who in their right mind would even bother choosing honor than their life? If ever he meets any in his life, he would definitely berate that person because as long as they're alive they'll always be able to keep on trying to kill their opponents.
"Tch, that General is so cowardly. How the hell did he even become a General." Dan voiced his displeasure. But, he quickly dismissed the thoughts about General Sheng as he quickly pointed his Glorious Staff straight towards the remaining 200 or so soldiers. Although he could actually spare their lives, especially since they can no longer fight, but Leo said not to in order to avoid some unnecessary variables.
To be honest, what Leo was exactly cautious about is that the Silver royal family might use his strategy, specifically use the Hybrids and slaves inside the Southeast Fortress, against him, only in their case they'll use the Human soldiers that he will obviously be put into prisons.
No matter how he looked at it, if he can do such kind of strategy, then not to mention the Silver royal family, especially since they will get to know about it after he announced that he had conquered the Southeast Fortress and that the imprisoned Human soldiers are basically like the imprisoned slaves, so it has no difference at all.
Although he can actually just permanently cripple the soldiers too, in order to remove their capability to fight, but wouldn't that be even worse than death? After all, whether he cripple their hands or their feet, they'll definitely start living an extremely hard life until they finally die. Healing is also not an option because although it is indeed possible to heal what should be a permanent cripple, it would cost a very high price and it might come to bite him after he heals them.
Anyways, this is war, so there is no morally correct or not. The winner is the truth, while the loser is the liars.
When the smoke finally cleared out, all of the soldiers could be seen laying on the ground dead.
Dan turned his head around to looked at everyone as he said, "Let's wait until Sebastian and Sele's group arrived before we start attacking the North Barracks."
Old man Torre just simply nodded his head like the last time before sitting down on the rock nearby him.
Suddenly...
*Boooooom!
