Supreme Harem Hunter

"It's fine." Vik stood up and walked toward the tent entrance. "You are here and that's all that matters."

Others also stood up and followed behind Vik, knowing it was about to begin.

The soldiers who were standing in square shapes could be seen throughout the forest. The trees have been removed earlier as they would become obstacles for them when they were defending and let their mobility slow down.

The soldiers were standing with ease and were casually talking to others but that stopped when they spotted all the big guys in the town coming in front of them. They straightened their backs and their faces turned stern.

VIk came before them and looked at them from above by standing on a small stage. He could see the town guards in the middle and on their right was the Burnheart Family's army. While on the left was Ragingwave Clan and to the farthest was the newly arrived IceFire Clan.

Vik could estimate there were at least fifty thousand troops present here and some might have been left to guard their respective forces. Unfortunately, they might have great numbers but most of them were at Qi Refinement Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm.

Only hundreds or so were at Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm could be counted on one hand.

"Soldiers! Straighten up your back even more! I have something to say." Vik's sudden shout, which was filled with a courageous yet angry tone, made the soldiers shift their focus only on Vik.

Seeing he was successful at what he wanted to achieve, he started to say. "You all should already know what we are up against, right?"

However, no reply came from the soldiers but Vik took that as a yes. "Good, then I will tell you early on that I see we have a high chance of losing. So, for that reason should we abandon defending this town?"

Now, Vik could see hesitation on many soldiers' faces. He had expected that these soldiers were useless products of the clans and family that had no hope of achieving great heights. So, they were forced to join the army, to make a living. Also they were living in a peaceful time, they didn't know the horror of wars.
"It looks like many are hesitant. But don't worry, I am too like you." Vik's next words surprised not only the soldiers, even the big guys behind him. Then Vik explained his reasoning. "I am hesitant to go on this losing war as I know I would be sacrificing many men and women. I don't want you guys to lose your loved ones, not make them all alone. I also don't have to participate in this because I am not from this place and I don't have anyone who I care about living here."

The soldiers became emotional as they were having exactly the same thought buried in their hearts. Most here were just simple people who just wanted to live a peaceful and happy life with their family as chasing for immortality had become vague to them like the mortals.

"But!" At that moment, they were jolted back by Vik's shout. They looked at Vik and saw his valiant gaze and warrior-like stature that made him look like an ancient warlord. "Throughout my stay here, I have fallen in love with this town. I think there are many people here too. You guys are born here and have lived your life here till birth, So, I can't think of any way you guys leaving this place abandoned, only to be crushed under the feets of these vile beasts. Do you want to go to another place where people will see you as a refugee or die, fighting here as a town's hero?"

"HOOO!" Suddenly, a loud war cry reverberated throughout the place that shook the grounds.

"WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR!" The soldier chanted as they stamped their feets and weapons on the ground like they were in a euphoria.

"Good," Vik nodded his head with a slight smirk on his face. "Now, commanders! Let your platoons change into your formations. We are gonna defend this town till death!"

"HOOO!"

The big guys all looked at Vik with a new light. They didn't expect him to be good at leading the army.

'Is this guy even bad at anything?' This was the question many had in their minds but no one to answer.

Then they quickly went behind their respectable troops, watching over them and defending them if something too dangerous approached them.

This big army walked forward and stopped before the empty space that was separating them and the giant trees. They were very far away from the camp but not that far to reciprocate their weapons and wounded soldiers.

The soldiers went onto their formations and waited for the beast horde to arrive.

On top of them, in the middle of the sky, Vik and other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were also waiting as they watched the horde approach.

TDHUM!

The soldiers could feel the shaking on the ground increase which made them go into trance state and be on complete focus.

TDHUM! TDHUM!

The shaking increased further which shook the soldiers but weren't able to shake their hearts and resolution.


TDHUM! TDHUM! TDHUM!

Loud sounds of footsteps were beating in tandem with the soldiers' hearts.

"Start the array!" The commanders in front of each platoon shouted.

Then like a light works show, various array formations sprung out in the air taking the soldiers as array points.

BANG

The trees that were blocking the soldiers' views got knocked down and revealed an insurmountable amount of beasts, ranging from various shapes and sizes heading toward them.

"AHHH!" The soldiers cried out to boost their moral and they embraced for impact.

In the air, Vik said to Galibar and Brustiar. "You guys go down and help them to relieve the pressure, they might not handle it."

Galibar and Brustiar couldn't rebuke, just followed Vik's order like his regular man under him.
