Chapter 18

Then Alex told Rylis to do few things and then after speaking for some time he disconnected the call and went to sleep. From next day they trained the soldiers for 3 days. Final day, everyone got ready and left for battlefield. Alex, John, Sara, Marina and Lord Ashwon all discussed how to attack the enemies and began to make battle strategies. Soon the war began and within few hours the battlefield was covered in blood. The enemy C-ranked adventurers also engaged in a battle with John, Sara and Marina while Alex stayed with Lord Ashwon to protect him. Soon the enemies began to suffer heavy casualties and they began to fall back and retreat. Enemies had less than ⅓ of their army(100,000 soldiers) and Lord Ashwon had more than 120,000 soldiers and the enemy C-ranks were also defeated and they fled. Just when everyone was about to celebrate their victory a huge army appeared far away. It was army of Count Samuel with a army of 800,000 soldiers. After seeing this Lord Ashwon also gave order to his army to retreat. Count Samuel still needed 1 or 2 days to attack, so Lord Ashwon asked others for help but no one agreed as Count Samuel was very strong and even if someone joins Lord Ashwon, they can't defeat him until or unless they kill him. And if someone kills him the lords under him will surely attack their common enemy together and no one can withstand such a attack from so many lords. So no one agreed. That day Lord Ashwon called John,Sara,Marina and Alex and gave them their rewards and told them to leave so that they dont get dragged in the war,afterall they did what they needed to do. After taking the rewards everyone left except Alex as he told he will stay. First everyone disagreed with Alex's decision of staying behind but when even after saying for long Alex didn't change his decision they decided to give up and left. Next day, Alex went to meet Lord Ashwon.
