Chapter 593: Despicable Methods

”Tear through their barricade!” The empress roared as she valiantly led the charge.

The cavalrymen followed closely behind her, forming a triangle with her as the spearhead.

”Crush their flimsy barricades!”

Shouted the Veronican troops as they gathered their strength in preparation for the impact.

Bang!

The cavalrymen slammed into the hastily-made barricades with overwhelming force, crushing them upon contact.

The enemy troops collided with the Veronican army, but they could not stop their momentum.

At this moment, Alaric didnʼt even need to do much. He just followed behind the cavalrymen and watched them demolish the enemy troops.

However, he felt that something was wrong with the enemy forces. They were much weaker than the soldiers they fought at the walls.

Something feels off.

He frowned. Out of instinct, he used his Appraisal on the enemy soldiers and realized that most of them were just ordinary people.

This…

He couldnʼt understand why the heretic cult would use the ordinary followers to fight with the Veronican army.

It was then that something occurred to him.

Hold on… We should have annihilated most of their soldiers. How come they still have this many soldiers?

The information they got from the remnants of House Park didnʼt match the actual number of enemies.

He pulled the reins of his horse and looked at the scattered corpses on the ground.

Using the tip of his sword, he removed the helmet of a fallen enemy soldier.

To his shock, he saw the young face of someone who seemed to be in his mid-teens.

Is he really a member of the heretic cultʼs army? How could someone this young…

He got down from his horse and went to another corpse. He lifted the helmet, but this time, he saw a young woman in her late teens.

The cult is using ordinary followers as cannon fodder?

The discovery made him furious and baffled at the same time.

No sane person would volunteer as cannon fodder.

I have a bad feeling about this. I need to warn Her Majesty!

He jumped onto his horse and shouted.

”Stop! There is something wrong with the enemy troops!”

He used mana to amplify his voice so everyone heard him clearly.

The Veronican army was surprised by his words. The empress and the other Venerables were also stunned.

”What do you mean, Alaric?” The empress frowned as she looked at him.

Alaric pointed at the corpses and replied. ”I think they are using ordinary people as cannon fodder. The heretic cult must have used some despicable methods to force these people to join the war.”

His words made the empressʼs face fall. She was so focused on destroying the enemies that she didnʼt notice these small details.

She quickly amplified her perception using her mana and was shaken when she realized that most of the corpses were young people.

What have we done?

The Veronican army went to check the corpses and were shocked when they found out that Alaric was telling the truth.

Suddenly, they heard someone bursting into laughter.

Everyone turned their heads in the same direction and saw a middle-aged man with short brown hair.

He had an amused look in his eyes as if he was enjoying the situation. ”It took you that long to notice it? Hahaha!”

”You! What is going on here?” The empress gripped her sword tightly as she stared coldly at the man.

The man looked at her and let out a wide grin as he responded. ”Havenʼt you noticed it? Why do you think the city is empty? Have you found a resident since coming here?”

Hearing this, everyoneʼs eyes widened as it finally dawned on them.

”Hahaha! The people you desperately wanted to protect ended up dying in your hands!” The man facepalmed himself as he laughed raucously.

The empress felt her heart tightening.

What is he saying? This canʼt be…

She looked at the dead enemy soldiers with an absentminded gaze.

Some of the soldiers of the Veronican army fell on their knees, their faces filled with deep remorse.

”Noo! We killed our own people…”

The morale of the troops fell to rock bottom. No one wanted to fight anymore.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and made a hand gesture while using his psychokenetic power to steal everyoneʼs weapons.

The sudden pulling force caught the Veronican army by surprise. Most of them couldnʼt hold onto their weapons and were quickly disarmed.

”Oh no! My sword!”

”My spear!”

Thousands of weapons hovered in the sky.

”Hahaha! Glory to the heretic cult!” The middle-aged man laughed coldly as he controlled the weapons through his mind.

This was his power, a psychokenetic ability that he had integrated from a Catastrophe-grade monster. As long as he had enough mana, he could control any object with just a thought.

The tens of thousands of weapons struck the Veronican soldiers, killing thousands of them in just a matter of seconds. The others quickly reacted and defended themselves from the rain of weapons.

Screams of agony echoed following that unexpected attack.

”You despicable vermin! I will kill you!” Kangjeon Geum-hwa rushed towards the middle-aged man while gathering mana into her spear.

The middle-aged man sneered. ”You want to kill me? You need more than-”

He couldnʼt finish his words because he suddenly sensed a wave of danger behind him.

He instinctively ducked his head.

Whoosh!

He evaded a glaive by a hairʼs breadth.

When did she?!

He saw a white haired woman with red eyes, fiercely brandishing her glaive at him.

”Bai Seol-hwa!” He shouted, his face covered in sweat.

That strike nearly killed him. If he were even a split second late, his head would have been cut off.

Bai Seol-hwaʼs eyes were seething with fury. She pointed her glaive at him and muttered. ”You will pay for this, dog of the heretic cult!”

Whoosh!

Her figure blurred as she moved with lightning speed.

The middle-aged man could not follow her movements.

Shit! She is too fast!

I need to retreat!

He quickly turned around, but before he could take a step, he saw Kangjeon Geum-hwaʼs sword just half a foot away from his chest.

Clang!
