Axel’s friends were a bit surprised that he didn’t imdiately argue with the Valkyrie, considering he wanted to be in the fighting division, but they didn’t know what idea he had in mind. So, they kept quiet, Axel sighed and looked towards Lucien who was glaring at him as if he would skin him alive, he wondered if this bitch intentionally did these small things? Making others, or Lucien in particular, think that she may have had a thing for him?
He shook his head internally and said to Lucien, “Calm down, I have an idea in mind, and it needs you as well.”
He explained what he had in mind, and everyone was surprised by it. Lucien understood the crux of the matter and nodded in understanding, though he still did not like how the Valkyrie shushed him like that in front of everyone. But that was a worry for another ti.
They began to discuss things in more detail, fine-tuning the plan, though there wasn’t much to plan, honestly, this ti things will only depend most on a few of them. Lucien for a mont suggested, “Why can’t we do the sa? I an, blow up the siege arrows before they crash into the steel gate?”
Axel shook his head and disagreed, “No, he will be prepared for that. Jaden will definitely have a way of dwarfing that strategy entirely. Besides I don’t like the idea of copying his thod.”
Lucien nodded and did not press more. As such they were all prepared for the next round. This ti determined to absolutely crush their enemies. The very fact that they almost lost in their very first round was the biggest humiliation that they had to wash away, with extre domination this ti.

In the sa battleground, after a week of the first round. Everyone was present again for the 2nd round this ti. The three flying platforms on which Sections A and B will be witnessing. The professors will be evaluated from their own designated flying platforms.
All 300 of the Section-C’s mbers were placed in the fortress, 3 divisions each with 100 mbers, sharpshooters as the 3rd division, including the commander on the top floor. Fortifiers as the 2nd division on the ground floor and on the 2nd floor. And shock troops as the first division outside of the fortress surrounding the edge of the bridge, they are already in formation.
As for the attackers, they are also ready for each of the divisions in their own positions. And soon, Gareth announced the start of the battle. Heinz’s division in asured steps rushed forward, behind them, sharpshooters led by Thorian followed, and the rhythmic steps of 200 Seekers echoed loudly again and again. The bridge hung low again, at the weight of them.
The powerful creatures from the water beca agitated, in hunger they jumped up and growled continuously. From the attacker’s side, only the fortifiers remained before the bridge, readying the siege machines to fire them.
But from the defender’s side, so weird signs of movent were detected. Their fortifiers, who should remain on the 2nd floor and the ground floor inside the fortress, started to move out.
As for the third division mbers who should have been reading the arrows and the ballistic crossbows, they were not doing so; rather, none of the sharpshooters even touched the ballistic crossbows. The 100 of them started to chant together in a combined manner. As if performing a group magic all together.
The fortifiers coming out stood behind the first division; it seed they would be attacking the enemy sharpshooters and be responsible for intercepting the long-range attacks of the enemy third division.
As the 100 sharpshooters on the top floor began to chant louder and louder. Mana itself began to take shape and construct into a massive hexagon-like pointed shield. Sophia who noticed this from the other side, warned the three division commanders and other important persons in the plan.
Heinz who was at the front of the first division was walking in almost leisurely steps towards his enemies. As their enemies saw him, they unconsciously tensed. To which Heinz let out a visible chuckle. His eyes t with the sa warlord division leader as before.
The enemy division leader’s eyes t the ashen eyes of Heinz. Unknowingly, the last overwhelming display of power by Heinz resurfaced in his mind. How he effortlessly took out 50 of them. That power of a genuine 2nd phase Seeker. But at this mont, the ssage of his commander reached him, which cald him down and brought him back to reality.
They had discussed extensively and found out the conditions for Heinz’s increase in power. As long as everyone in Heinz’s division has not been eliminated, his powers would not increase so absurdly as the last ti.
Heinz noticed 100 fortifiers right behind the enemy shock troops, and the mana was taking shape into a large, crystalline-like hexagonal shield from the chant of the sharpshooters on the top floor. He had to admit, Jaden was truly a master tactician, the guy really, really knew how to make the most of every situation despite being so fucking overwheld in terms of strength.
But there was no tension, not an ounce of worry in him, pure confidence radiated from his figure, sure in their own plan, and the individual’s participating in it. Even if it failed, they would simply make it work. For a mont, another thought popped into his head, did Jaden make the fortifiers stand behind the shock troops to simply equalize the numbers, or to stop him?
After all, he had the sage aspect, which could potentially interfere with the operations of mana itself, though he can’t ss with a constructed mana that has taken effect. But from Jaden’s angle, there was a possibility that Heinz might be able to interfere with the large mana shield. So perhaps the 100 extra were here to make sure Heinz can’t do that.
‘Sigh, what a goddamn troubleso fellow.’ Heinz cursed internally.
Not only that, most of the defenders’ shock troops and fortifiers, Heinz and Thorian’s division, will be facing consists of generalists currently using their warrior branch aspect. Another silent counter to his Sage aspect, which he still hadn’t used till now. And if all of his direct division mbers are not eliminated. Heinz won’t be receiving that power boost. Yup, Jaden had already countered Heinz, considering every scenario.
But Heinz simply grinned, Jaden was still sadly underestimating him, and besides he won’t be playing any major role this ti. Only needing to hold the enemy divisions off. He announced loudly, “Attack.”
With a simultaneous battle cry from all his division mbers, their first clash occurred, and the similar advantageous boost from his warlord aspect spread to his division mbers. Countless swords clashed against the shields of the defenders; it had to be noted that the defenders had barely left a small area open in front at the mouth of the bridge.
And since the bridge was not too wide, too many seekers could not at once co and clash against the enemy. To add more salt to the injury. The few who were at the front because of that had to endure the attacks of too many Seekers at once. So, for that unfortunate setup, Heinz and his division were actually getting pushed backward onto the bridge, not long after the start of the battle.
