The Magician of Sound

Chapter 387 - Starting



Meanwhile, in another place, the birds had begun flying to the sky while the animals\' roars echoed in the foot of the volcano.

They seemed to have sensed that the mountain would soon erupt.

The ground began shaking, and the smoke above the mountain became even bigger.

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed in their ears before they heard a thunderclap.

Boom!

The smoke flew to the sky, the molten rocks were launched into the air, and the magma flowed on the surface. The volcano had erupted.

The magical beasts began to panic, and the area was filled with noises. They were trying to escape from this predicament together with the other races.

Suddenly, two loud sounds took over their sound, silencing all the noises other than the volcano. The magical beasts fell silent when they listened to it.

Surprisingly, all magical beasts went in one\'s direction. Even those behind the volcano went around it within a safe distance and headed straight toward the military base.

Those that were fortunate enough to be in the direction they were heading followed the instruction without hesitation.

In fact, they became even more enraged, trying to pummel everything on their way. No matter if it was trees or ruins, they smashed them without a care of the world.

The first magical beast that let out a roar that controlled the magical beasts was a huge monkey that appeared to have the body of a gorilla despite not being one. And the second beast was a wildebeest, leading the ground to go around the volcano.

Their movements were so organized to beyond belief. However, none of the humans were watching this because no one dared to venture to this area just yet.

They only got the data and visual from the satellite to know that the enemies were coming to them. Little did they know, they missed out on an important detail.

They would never expect that the magical beasts that were supposed to go in all directions changed their destination, increasing the original number in their prediction to three times.

"Kai…We are ready." Yuki came to the top of the hill after finding him there.

"We still have time." Kai shook his head. "We will wait another thirty minutes before marching forward. Have the soldiers pick up the pace."

"It\'s done already." Yuki nodded.

"I see. Is there any response from the other armies?"

"Only one. General Brad only said you have the full right to command it according to the agreement. I won\'t interfere."

Kai narrowed his eyes. "We will fight conservatively then so as to not mess up with their plan."

"I thought so." Yuki nodded.

"How about our troops?"

"Fifteen thousand fighters and two thousand gunners."

"That\'s good enough." Kai nodded. "My team?"

"Everyone is ready except Evan."

"Alright." Kai nodded. "Tell the soldiers to stand by. I will head there as soon as I think it\'s time for us to go."

"Sure." She waved her hand and descended the hill.

"This is going to be a long fight…" Kai muttered while looking at the horizon. He couldn\'t really mess up with the enemies because they will focus more on the armies beside him, which would affect their battle plan. He didn\'t intend to become their burden, so he decided to use another plan.

After a long wait, Kai leaped to the sky, used his Sound Levitation Magic, and gradually descended the hill, heading straight to the advanced group.

He found Yuki and the others along with thousands of soldiers.

When Yuki found him, she gave a gesture as if telling him to give his speech.

Kai twitched his eyebrows. He didn\'t really like giving a speech like this, but this seemed to be necessary at the moment.

He floated to the air and shouted. "My name is Kai Carter, your commander. I know that many of you have dissatisfaction with me being your commander, but I don\'t give a damn to it. Just follow my command."

"…" The soldiers blinked their eyes a few times as if they couldn\'t understand what he was saying. That speech just showed how arrogant he was. Luckily, there were no students other than his group and a few important people to avoid unnecessary casualties. Otherwise, they would shout, not caring about Kai\'s rank.

"Just remember that my command has gone to many trains of thoughts. That\'s why I asked you to follow my command." Kai\'s expression turned grim as he saluted. "Still, it is an honor to fight by your side in this battle. I, Kai, will be right in front of you."

The soldiers acted differently. Instead of shouting or clapping their hands, they simply saluted back.

The last sentence of his was really a game-changer. Normally, the generals stayed behind because fighting a large number of enemies would exhaust them. Hence, they kept rotating back and forth. However, Kai said that he would be in front of them all the time.

They perceived his words as the declaration that he would be the last one to retreat. For someone who gave that kind of resolve, they needed to give a salute to him and watched whether he told the truth or not.

"Alright, let\'s move out!" Kai leaped to the sky, landing on the very front as he started walking toward the enemies.

From their pace and the magical beasts\' speed, they would likely clash half an hour from the base, so it should be enough to give enough sense of urgency in the soldiers\' minds, especially those staying behind.

Each officer quickly went to their group and shouted to move out, following Kai\'s direction.

On the way, Kai separated his army into four armies, left, right, and middle army, as well as the gunner army.

Yuki was in charge of the left army while the other teacher took the right one. Isabelle led the gunner army while he personally controlled the middle army.

They crossed another hill along the way before arriving in a huge plain. This was supposed to be their battlefield since the magical beasts should arrive in a matter of minutes.

Someone brought a binocular and saw something in the sky.

"I have spotted something." She shouted. "The enemies are here."

Kai\'s expression turned serious as the army became tense. Although it was just a portion of the entire number, they needed to clash against two to three hundred thousand magical beasts for a few hours. This was something hard to do even for a seasoned general.

Kai only had one order. "We will fight them in this plain and slowly retreat our way to the hill we passed along the way. After the construction is finished, we will quickly retreat to our fortress."

His voice resounded in everyone\'s ears. It was a simple order, and they quickly acknowledged such thinking, at least, those who had experiences in the army.

Yuki, Isabelle, and another officer came to him, asking for his command.

"The three of you are to remain standby. My middle army will open the path."

"You are not going to pierce through them, right?" Isabelle recognized Kai\'s plan while shaking her head helplessly.

"Yes. I have my own plan for that. Besides, it will become quite serious, so you need to cover us from airborne attack. Okay?"

"Roger," Isabelle said while smirking. She was pretty excited to see Kai commanding an entire army from up close, considering she was usually on the back or never saw his appearance during a mission like this.

"Should I get someone to replace my position to help you?"

"It\'s fine. My group will be leading this." Kai smiled. "Besides, I can\'t afford to have so many casualties in this fight."

"So, you are going to torture yourself?" Yuki let out a long sigh. "Fine. I will do my job perfectly so that you won\'t have any complaints."

"Yes. Thank you." Kai smiled and turned to the other officer. She only nodded her head, acknowledging Kai\'s order.

"Anyway, no need to be so nervous." Kai shrugged and stepped forward, listening to the numerous footsteps that would soon swarm this field.

The dust kicked up by the magical beasts rose to the air. Not knowing why the soldiers began to suck cold air as if a storm swept the area.

The magical beasts began to make their appearance from the woods, entering the huge plain. Everyone instinctively clenched their weapons, steeling their heart to fight those monsters.

Kai, who was slightly in a taller place than the others, couldn\'t see the end of the magical beasts. Not only it stretched to left and right endlessly, but the lines behind the monsters were also so long.

Roar.

Roar.

A series of roars filled the entire field, making the soldiers cower a little.

Seeing that the morale became pretty low, Kai shouted before running toward the magical beasts alone. "If you don\'t know what to do…Just watch my back. I will lead you to victory. Those, who want to win, follow me!"

The middle army was stunned for a second before they realized what they needed to do.

Michelle shouted. "Follow Commander Kai!"

Tasha shouted. "Let\'s wreck the enemies! Follow the commander!"

The two shouts became four, became ten, and became one hundred, and before long, all of them roared and started chasing Kai\'s back.

Kai jumped to the air while activating his Sonic Sword. The moment he landed, he waved his sword vertically, killing the first enemy and blowing it in two directions.

He kept marching forward with that speed as if there wasn\'t a single magical beast in his way.

When the army saw that, they were in awe and their shouts were once again clearly heard on the battlefield. With that high morale, they began the first clash.
