Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 168 Battle Of The Tormented (18)

[You have created the Rare Pill: Pill of Condensed Blood]

"It turned into a pill," I said with a deadpanned expression, but Luna didn't believe me, so I handed it over to her and let her inspect it very closely.

"What the fuck… it actually turned into a pill. Well… *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*... It seems I must take my leave," She said before bowing deeply and running off with as much speed as she could muster.

I quickly chased after her while my other friends were confused as to what was happening.

"What are they doing?" Aisa sighed as she looked at our little catfight commencing, both of us slipping up on grabbing the pill.

"Orion is attempting to force down Luna because-"

"CY! SHUT THE HELL UP!" I shouted before pushing Luna's face out of the way and then lunging for the pill, which once again slipped in between my fingers.

,m It was as if it had been coated in the slipperiest of slimes, and soon… it rolled into a deep hole which we could barely even fit our hands in.

Both I and Luna stared down into the hole, already regretting our stupid actions.

"Wait, I could just,"

Fwip

I flicked my hand up, catching the quickly rising ball and then running as fast as I could while squeezing the pill in my hand.

This was to make sure it wouldn't slip out no matter what.

"Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff…"

And finally, after a few minutes, Luna gave up as she had run out of stamina, and we returned to the base camp, where we tried to retain a calm and collected composure.

Everybody cheered for our return but what they didn't see were our backs which had been completely drenched with sweat.

"I hate you," I side-mouthed Luna as we both kept a smile while walking down the little pathway the injured soldiers and nurses had made.

"The feeling is mutual," She responded, and soon, we returned to the central nursing tent, where we encountered a familiar face.

Cy, Aisa, Bella, and Findir were already sitting down on their knees in front of her, ready to get scolded into oblivion… for something. I have no clue what this bitch wants, but she should give us a break as we just saved her ass.

"You boys and girls did such an amazing job that I decided to cut down the number of patients you have to attend to," Lia said with a cheerful but sharp smile that seemingly cut through the happy and warm air.

"Are you serious? Don't you think we've done enough… We're oh-so-very exhausted from the battle we just had. I feel like we deserve a break. Look at all this sweat and blood-... sweat. Just sweat on me…. ooooohhhh…." I begged while putting on my fakest pitiful princess act.

"Are you trying to make me even angrier?" Lia responded, her eyes glowing bright gold.

"My bad," I immediately replied before shutting up and continuing to help out around the place, making sure no patient was suffering any longer.

We may not have any healing skills, but we can help attend to the sick who have acquired a fever after recovering from their painful injuries.

It's a pretty common occurrence, especially since it is winter and sweating in the cold is bound to give you a sickness.

Soon, the backup army arrived, and we immediately sent them back after giving them some water to help sate some of their hunger.

"The general is so damn stupid. He couldn't even comprehend my level of power," I muttered while shaking my head disappointingly.

I was currently conversing with the present commander and a few lieutenants who were working on the best move they could take now.

"Alright, let's just move on to the next topic… Should we wait for an order from the general, or should we take a surprise attack? I feel like the latter is better, but currently, we have no idea what the general has planned. Especially if he decides to take the battlefield… because if we're on the opposing side trying to take them down, he might just wipe us out in the process,"

This conversation continued for a while until Cy had the genius idea to ask such an incomprehensible, universe-altering, world-bending, dimension-breaking question… I'm just kidding.

"Why don't we just send him a text message?"

"It'll get intercepted by the enemy, and if they know the army had dwindled by just a bit, then they'll push forward, most likely overwhelming our side and taking the win…." I responded, and all of a sudden, the commander's smartphone lit up.

"Uhhh… The general just texted me, and he said to take the split army and make a surprise attack… What is he thinking?" The commander muttered as he placed his forehead in his hand, his brain clearly becoming jumbled in the contradicting actions happening.

Plus, his extreme hunger wasn't helping, but we're just barely managing to hold the fort down over here in terms of rations so that we couldn't help him out.

"He's pretty smart," I muttered, and everybody else glanced up at me as if I was a man who had just escaped from an insane asylum.

"Why do you say that?" Bella asked, but before I could even open my mouth, Luna replied for me.

"He is assuming they'll charge towards him but also split their army a bit to help stop the pincer from behind,"

"Then, wouldn't our army still get overwhelmed?" Bella asked.

"Nah… that man won't let any of that happen. That general… he's not human. Or, he's human, but the way the mana moves inside his body is like that of blood. Instead of blood running through his veins, mana runs through them, supplying him with a seemingly infinite amount of stamina," Luna replied, shivering just from the thought of the general's power.

I knew he was strong… but was he so strong to make Luna absolutely shit her pants?

"Well, that is assuming the opposing side actually falls for it. I'm sure they know sending online messages is a stupid idea in war, meaning they'll most likely just stay put… Though, the arrogance radiating from this message will create indecisiveness… Geez, he must be using a strategist because this is too much,"
