Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 780: 150: One Man Army

Chapter 780: Chapter 150: One Man Army

Along the way, Aske casually chatted with Peggy.

“Did everyone stick to their schedule yesterday when I was away all day? No one slacked off, right?”

“Everyone has been training diligently lately,” Peggy replied, “Eleanor has specialized in ‘Unyielding Will’ and advanced to Lv.16. Now, she can activate the Holy Sword for 46 seconds and then stabilize its deactivation.”

“Nora has grasped her fourth skill, sothing called ‘Reverse Transcription Injection’? I don’t really understand. Anyway, she’s now Lv.14 and is trying out Law Embodint.”

“Sigrdrifa has discovered a skill called ‘Malicious Blockade’ from her necklace, advancing to Lv.13. Now, she can turn intense killing intent into binding, thereby restricting the opponent’s ability to move.”

“Thira has also understood her other two skills, one being ‘Earthquake’ and the other ‘Storm’. However, she said the attack range was too large, so she didn’t demonstrate it to us. You can ask her yourself, Aske.”

“And you?” Aske asked, “You’re already Lv.19, when do you estimate you’ll advance to Demigod?”

Peggy: ………..

“Aske,” she asked quietly after a mont, “do you wish for to beco a Demigod soon?”

“Of course,” Aske replied without hesitation.

After all, one needed the strength of a Demigod to tackle that instance.

“I understand,” Peggy thought for a mont and said earnestly, “for you, Aske, I’ll beco a Demigod as soon as possible.”

How did this turn into “for ”… Don’t you have your own desire to beco a Demigod? Aske felt a bit speechless but smiled and said,

“Don’t force it too much. After all, you’ve already tried weaving a domain last ti, so it’s just a matter of ti now.”

“Mmm-hmm,” Peggy nodded.

They reached the vicinity of the designated battlefield. A few minutes later, the group saw clouds of dust rising in the distance, a sign of many Ghouls running across the plains.

The sky remained gloomy, dense clouds completely blocking out the sunlight, causing the nearby vegetation to wilt a bit. The Undead’s Dark Sky had shrouded the Iberian Peninsula for nearly six months now, stealing not just sunlight but the lives of countless human warriors.

In the past, upon spotting traces of a large number of Undead in the wild, Golden Sparrow rcenary Group’s first reaction would have been to avoid the sharp edges. After all, fighting the Undead ant injuries and deaths, and the long period of killing had almost worn out their initial fervor, leaving only the professional responsibility and instinct to survive as rcenaries.

But this ti was different.

Because this ti they had a High Rank Transcendent! A supre master unmatched in Tactical command, battlefield observation, and combat ability!

“First, lure them over here,” Aske commanded.

Eric imdiately picked up a rifle and fired a shot towards the distant dust clouds.

Consequently, the horde of Ghouls turned and charged towards them, resembling a pack of wolves sprinting across the plains, only the rcenaries knew these Ghouls were much more formidable than any wild wolves.

“Riflen form up, Swordsman prepare to charge,” Aske continued to command.

The riflen quickly lined up in a row, while the highland swordsn ford a loose group in front, protecting the formation of the riflen.

“This ti, our tactics need to change,” Aske said, “After the riflen fire, highland swordsn are not to charge imdiately, wait for my command.”

The highland swordsn were confused. If they were not to charge, then who would fend off these advancing ghouls during the gap after the riflen had finished shooting?

However, seeing that their leader, McGree, did not react, everyone naturally complied, and no objections were raised.

As the ghoul horde ca into range, two seconds later, the sound of gunfire erupted densely. The front row of ghouls was shot, their bodies flung backward by the trendous impact, and they knocked over the ghouls behind them.

Yet, more undead spirits crossed over the fallen bodies, continuing to charge toward them in a dark mass. The riflen hurriedly reloaded their guns in anxiety, while the formation of the highland swordsn remained still. One could almost hear the heartbeat and the swallowing of saliva from their comrades beside them, and out of the corner of their eyes, they could see cold sweat streaming down each other’s temples.

“Peggy, stop their charge,” ordered Aske.

Ghouls that were sprinting at full speed could easily jump over a long distance with their diving force no less powerful than the charge of armored warhorses.

Previously, the practice of the highland swordsn was to charge and swing their swords, using the enemy’s speed and the reaction force to kill the enemy. This tactic had a very low margin for error since from the ghouls’ leap to their landing it took only a blink of an eye. If your sword missed, the ghoul’s claws would plunge into your chest.

After Aske joined, this tactic was optimized by him leading the charge, accelerating out of the formation in the process, forming a spearhead that pierced into the front row of ghouls first.

Deceiving the front row of ghouls’ charge and pounce, slowing them down, then the highland swordsn would join in the lee… This tactic drastically reduced the casualty rate of the rcenaries, which is why McGree was completely convinced by Aske.

After all, not just anyone could withstand the charge of the ghouls, let alone endure several tens of seconds of their attack unscathed.

However, this ti, it seed that Aske was letting that girl called “Peggy” take action?

The highland swordsn were sowhat skeptical, but none voiced their questions aloud, only guessing that this sweet-looking Eastern girl must also be a high rank transcendent.

Probably, at any rate, Lord Aske would certainly not mistake the person.

Peggy nodded, then lifted the cloak she was wearing, revealing a short sword strapped to her waist.

A short sword? Eric beside her felt sowhat surprised. Short swords were standard military weapons in the Ancient Solomon Republic during the Third Epoch because primarily firearms were used, so close combat required compact and agile weapons.

However, after the Fourth Epoch, longswords from the Barbarians gradually dominated the battlefield, and nowadays, very few people used short swords anymore.

If the weapon’s length was insufficient, the attack distance would be limited, facing the deadly claws of the ghouls unless this girl was a speed-type transcendent, otherwise, she should not have chosen a short sword.

Analyzing thusly, Eric saw Peggy casually wave her short sword.

A figure “detached” itself from her body, and it was another Peggy exactly like her, wielding the short sword rushing toward the approaching horde of ghouls.

Damn! Both the highland swordsn and the riflen were taken aback internally.

However, the show had not ended yet, because Peggy had started swinging her sword again, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, with every slash accompanied by an illusion sword avatar charging out, soon gathering over twenty “Peggys” and charging directly at the nacing undead army.

Enemies and attack, collision and evasion, the disorderly swiping claws intermixed with the shining blade of the short sword, turning into nurous muffled roars and screams.

Several Peggy avatars suddenly dissipated upon being hit. anwhile, more than ten tis the number of ghouls were being pierced by the short sword, dismbered, and decapitated, and suddenly, the frontal charge of the ghouls was forcibly stopped by countless Peggys.

She had actually, with her own strength, intercepted the charging montum of the ghoul horde!
