My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 270: The Power of a double A ranked adventurer!
"All members of the Fang hunters’! Retreat back to the academy, we will make our last stand there!" Paul shouted and those that were still fighting wondered why he made that kind of order.
Even though they were overwhelmed, they were still standing strong with around five thousand men with them. When they looked up, it finally hit them that they might have just lost any hope of winning the war.
"How have we lost so many men?" Peter wondered in pain as all around the battlefield, there were only around a thousand men left on the Fang hunters’ side while the Iron Fist Guild still had about sixty thousand men alive.
Unknown to them all that when the core members were busy taking on more than three enemy at once making them dominate the battle, the leader of the platoon from the Iron Fist Guild was moving around the battlefield stealthily killing the men from the Fang hunters.
He was so stealthy that nobody had even noticed as he used the destruction as a cover making him kill the men easily and quickly then he moved to the next enemy killing them as easily.
That was how he managed to reduce the numbers on the Fang hunters’ side drastically and when Paul had seen him, he knew that this was dangerous for them so he ordered for a retreat.
"Go now!" General Paul shouted and immediately, everybody began running back at the academy with full speed while General Paul, Wilfred, Kron, Sunny, Jack and Peter stood rooted trying to stop anybody from giving chase to the retreating army.
"Don’t move! Let them head back!" The leader of the platoon raised his hand stopping his men from chasing the retreating army.
Paul seeing that no one would give chase, they began retreating slowly without turning their back at the enemy and still seeing them rooted in their spot boosted the confidence to finally turn their back at the enemy while running.
"Leader, why didn’t you allow us give chase?" One of the men asked.
"So that we will crush them at their base." The leader smiled devilishly. "I doubt that the werewolf slayer is around, so this will be fun and easy for us."
After retreating, the army were seen running back to Aurora at full speed and in less than ten minutes, they were finally there as the gates of the academy was in view.
The remaining army that were left at the academy that numbered around five thousand, were now on guard especially seeing the panicked look on the face of men.
"Hurry! Open the gates!" Kate shouted as she had been on top of the high position along with the range fighters and immediately, the gates were opened for those that were coming in.
Immediately, the thousand army from the front lines were let in and they quickly took their positions inside the academy while trying to recover as much as possible.
The remaining five thousand soldiers were seen standing in front while delivering emergency med kit to those that were injured and they were also trying to recover their Qi.
That was when the gates opened up again and General Paul, Kron, Wilfred, Peter, Sunny and Jack were seen running through and they stood in front of the remaining army that were inside the academy.
Immediately they walked in, Peter fell on his knees panting hard in pain while Sophia quickly rushed towards him with the med kit in hand trying to patch him up.
When the gates were opened and everybody were making noise, the students in the academy came out and they could see the injured soldiers and guild members on the floor receiving treatment.
"What happened? Are we under attack?" Harry asked as he came over towards Jack who had his hands on his knees panting hard.
"Yes, and it couldn’t have been more on a wrong time as Jake isn’t around to help us." Jack replied.
"Where is our leader? Why isn’t he here to help us?" A soldier who was part of the earlier attack force asked.
"Relax people, the werewolf slayer is out on an important business so he isn’t around n…" Paul stuttered as off in the distance, they could hear loud footsteps heading their way.
"They are here." Wilfred said gripping his sword tightly.
"Open the gates!" Kron shouted and the gates were slowly being opened.
"Archers! Take your positions!" Kate commanded.
"Attack force! Let’s go meet them outside!" Paul ordered.
"Stop!" A loud booming voice shouted causing the attack force to halt their steps and a man with grey hair and beard walked out.
"Let me handle this." Humfree said as he looked different from how he used to look like.

Currently, he wasn’t wearing his normal loose robes, he was putting on a complete set of silver coloured armour. A chest piece, a pair of boots, shoulder pads, and a silver coloured sword in his hand.
Without waiting for anybody’s response, he causally walked past everybody and went out in the open where he could see the thousand of men heading their way in the distance.
They were at least ten metres away from the academy gates and seeing a lone old man walk out, they suddenly stopped their movements as they looked on.
"Be ready guys, when the time is right, we will go out there and back Head General Humfree up!" Peter commanded as he slowly rose up and held his axes tighter.
"Peter, you are not in the right shape to fight, you need to rest." Sophia said.
"How do you expect me to rest while my best friend’s guild is being attacked? Forget it, I will protect this place with my life." Peter replied.
"I will give you all one last chance to head back or else I won’t be responsible for what will happen to you all today!" Humfree shouted out loud.
And the leader laughed out loud in amusement. "Or what?"
"Or you will be responsible for the death of all these men today." Humfree said.
"What a senile old man."
"Alright then, have it your way." Humfree said and immediately the whole place felt heavy with energy to the extent it felt slightly suffocating to the men that were at least 10 metres away.
’such strong killing intent! His killing intent is so strong to the extent I can feel it all the way here! Who is this? Is this the werewolf slayer? No! I was told the werewolf slayer always wore a ridiculous mask.’ The leader thought while breaking out in a slight sweat.

Raising his right hand in the air, Humfree stared out towards the members of the Iron Fist Guild and his eyes then narrowed down looking like a slit.
"Let me show you all the power of a head general and the power of a double A ranked adventurer!" Humfree shouted out loud and everybody heard a loud noise from above that sounded like the rumbling of thunder.
But when they looked up, everybody including the members of the Fang hunters’ froze in fear as all above the battlefield above the Iron Fist Guild, they could all see a lot of swords in the air about two hundred or so.
"Die!" Humfree shouted with a wicked smile on his face as he swung his hand down and the hundreds swords followed down raining on the battlefield.
