BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 - Assimilation
A lot of people noticed that. Alex and Ezekiel\'s silhouette seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
"Oi, oi, are they crazy!?"
"Do they think that they can fight this whole army alone!?"
"We are even having a hard time in here..."
"How come they are still not dead!?"
"Their killing spree now even seems to be faster..."
Akkar\'s viewers are also feeling the intense fight happening on the battlefield. However, a lot is also feeling envious as they can only watch all of this happening."
"If only I have known..."
"If only I did not hesitate..."
"I should have made sure that I was able to get a capsule on the first day..."
"It\'s the first day of the game, and there\'s a war already!!"
"No other streamers have a better battle than what is happening in here."
Once his viewer count increased to an unimaginable level. Akkar had difficulty adjusting and responding to everyone\'s comments. So he chose to leave them be with discussing with their selves first as he focused on the battlefield. He can\'t let his viewers see him lose this battle.
"Why are they going farther?" Akkar mumbled as he saw Alex and Ezekiel moving farther and farther away from them. Even though he thinks that they were fighting in a perfect position earlier. At first, both of them fought in the middle of their frontline and the enemy. Where they are close enough to their frontline. That they can have enough time to save them if trouble comes. Yet as they moved farther away from them, then it will be impossible to help them.
"Kids their age tend to get overconfident sometimes. But with the young man beside her. I don\'t think that they will make an unreasonable decision that will make them lose their lives. Let\'s put our trust in them and fortify our defense to survive this battle." Elder Jin exclaimed as he saw Alex killing a hobgoblin with ease using his eagle eyes skill. It lets him see further than an average human can. He was even surprised that she did not die from the counter attack of the goblin shaman.
Elder Jin already knew that they were planning on killing the commander of the goblin army. However, he isn\'t confident enough that they can do it with just the two of them. They can\'t see what he is seeing, but the sheer number of hobgoblins alone is terrifying. He estimated that there are more than one thousand hobgoblins on the enemy\'s backline.
"Hopefully, they are doing the right thing." Akkar can tell that their frontline is already having a hard time moving forward from their current position. Their shield wall looked like a sandcastle about to be destroyed by an army of ants.
Even though the shield wall created by the village guards is standing firm. He knew that the weakest link in their shield wall were the players who had no experience fighting a large-scale war. But the players are also crucial because the village guards are not enough to cover all the gaps in the shield wall.
Goblins were constantly beating at their frontline. The gaps covered by the players in the shield wall shown some cracks. As some goblins can enter by stepping on the dead bodies of their comrades. Thankfully their melee fighters are strong enough. That a few goblins penetrating their shield wall doesn\'t pose enough trouble in their formation yet.
However, Alex and Ezekiel will be fighting all alone from now on. And there is nothing he can do to help them.
"We won\'t simply lose to them!! Attack like crazy!! Fire those bows and guns like there\'s no tomorrow!! Rain down all your magic spells." Akkar returned his focus on commanding his army. Alex\'s job is to be a model for his army, and it is his job to use her to his advantage. They need to hold on as they haven\'t even clashed with half of the enemy forces yet.
Rain of arrows and magic enveloped the sky as goblins fell down like dominoes. Goblin\'s dead bodies piled up one after the other. As everyone\'s attack intensified when they saw how strong both of them were. Alex and Ezekiel increased everyone\'s morale even without delivering any speeches.
...
Meanwhile, Alex and Ezekiel got deeper into the enemy. That she could no longer see any silhouette of their allies when she looked back. However, the breeze blowing in the air pushed at her. Alex naturally followed the soft touch of the flow f the breeze as she raised her two hand axes.
She strode towards the goblins as if the swords, axes, spears, and bows were nothing to her.
While Ezekiel is staying close to Alex. He suddenly notices that Alex is getting faster and faster. He is now having a hard time catching up to her. "Slow down a little!!"
Ezekiel did not receive an answer as Alex continued to get faster and faster. "Hey!!"
Alex hears a faint sound echoing through her ears, but she chooses to ignore it. She concentrated on what was happening with her. While she was so engrossed in fighting the goblins. She did not realize as she unexpectedly felt a strange yet comfortable feeling of something burning beside her heart.
Then the world suddenly slowed down, and the air vibrated. The light particles of the world stopped in mid of the air like bubbles. At the same time, Alex\'s arms moved on their own as she brandished her weapons that eliminated the goblins heading towards them.
Ezekiel stared at her as he saw her attack splitting the world. Half of the bodies of the goblins fell to the ground one after the other. The light particles splattered out.
Alex continued moving as she cut the enemy\'s throat without a sound. In order to be more efficient, all attacks she has done are always deadly attacks. She doesn\'t even attack twice to check if the enemy has died from her attack.
"Hey!! Are you listening?? Slow down!!"
Ezekiel received no answer from her once more. So he continued to stare at her as he saw another side of her.
"Assimilation..." Lumiere looked at Alex in disbelief.
