The Magician Of Sound

Chapter 390 - Magic?

"How is the progress?" asked Brad to the officer beside him.

"It's normal, General. However, we found something troublesome during the check we ran an hour ago."

"And what is that?"

"We have yet to see the end of the magical beasts. If it is around one million beasts, we should be able to see the end because their number is split into five. We have asked the other armies too and their replies are the same. I am afraid our opponents are higher than the original number we've predicted."

Brad looked down and fell in deep thought. "What is that brat's reply?"

"He has yet to see the end despite the magical beasts lining up for five kilometers."

"In that case, there is a high possibility that we will be fighting more than one million. Send specialized troops to scout our enemies again and ascertain their number."

"I understand."

"And have the officers meet me again. I will change my strategy a little bit."

The assistant nodded before asking, "How about we ask Kai Carter to scout, General? With his ears, he doesn't need to penetrate deep in the enemy line."

"…" Brad gritted his teeth. "No. We won't rely on that brat. We will send our own scouts. Request reinforcement from the headquarters. We need at least four hundred thousand soldiers to win this fight. If possible, bring other generals as well, especially those above my rank. This is an emergency."

"Understood. I shall convey the message to the headquarter." The assistant turned around and left.

Brad Matthew finally went toward the battlefield, observing the entire battle for a few seconds. The left side was quite subtle since most of them went toward Kai instead of him due to how spectacular Kai Carter "charmed" all these beasts.

On the other side, the soldiers managed to hold on just fine.

Suddenly, he found three magical beasts that were different from the rest on the horizon. The left beast was a monkey. It could fly in the sky by using its magic.

Next to him was a giant wildebeest. Unlike the others, this one had a thirty meters tall body. If it charged at them, it would surely destroy their rank.

The furthest one on the right was a falcon, flying with the same speed as the two.

"!!!" Brad looked at his hand. "I am sweating?"

His body trembled as he drew a gasp. "They are the bosses of this horde. Why are they coming here?"

Suddenly, he noticed that the wildebeest released lightning, covering his body with that lightning. It lowered its head as the lightning slowly gathered on his horn before fusing together to create a small bolt of lightning.

However, Brad felt dread upon seeing that technique. "Not good!"

Brad took out his spear and pointed it at the wildebeest. A blue magic circle appeared in front of him as he thrust his spear toward the magic circle.

The moment it hit, the magic circle released sharp and thin ice. It kept summoning more and more ice until it reached the target.

Seeing this, the wildebeest shot the lightning he stored earlier.

It became the clash of lightning and ice magic. The shock wave could be felt by all people on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, Brad's Ice seemed to be weaker than the lightning and got destroyed. The lightning struck forth toward Brad, planning to obliterate them.

As he was about to receive it himself, a middle-aged man appeared and stretched his hand to the front. "No, you won't."

A huge translucent blue screen appeared out of thin air, blocking the lightning until it dissipated.

"What the heck is this? Magical beasts are using magic now?" He asked while glancing at Brad.

"I am as shocked as you are…" Brad shook his head helplessly. "I have never heard anything about this."

"So, we need to deal with this, huh. It sucks." The middle-aged man had two stars on his shoulder and began unbuttoning his shirt. "I will accompany you then. But I don't think someone is strong enough to deal with the third one. In fact, I feel like it will be too much of a burden for me just to handle one."

Brad nodded before ordering someone behind him. "Send out an emergency code to the headquarters."

"Emergency code? Wait a minute… Don't we have someone who can deal with them?" The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows. "What is his name again? Kai Carter?"

"Are you telling me to give this important matter to a kid?"

"You just can't trust them. They are more capable than you think, you know. My son and daughter are so capable. They can even surprise me with their strength." He shrugged.

"Shut up! I rather die than relying on a student."

The middle-aged man sighed. "Well, I will take that wildebeest. I wonder if they are an S Rank Magical Beast. After all, A Rank Beast might be able to utilize their magic power, but it wasn't at the level of magic like this."

"Impossible. There is a huge difference between an A Rank and an S Rank. And we don't have enough information to claim it as an S Rank Magical Beast."

"Well, it's indeed as you say, but I am just worried that my faint heart can't take the fact that I will need to face three S Rank Magical Beasts. Even Ria Ross can only take one with so many elites."

"Can you shut up? I am trying to think here…" Brad snarled.

The middle-aged man raised his hands in defeat before taking out his device. He took another look at the beasts to confirm their movement. Luckily, it seemed the first attack was only a greeting. They remained the same after that attack, giving him a bit more time.

He typed a few words on his communication device.

"What are you typing?" Brad twitched his eyebrows.

"I am writing my will…Just in case." He shrugged.

"Are you trying to say we are going to lose?"

"No. I am just indirectly insulting you by not trusting students just because they are students. I mean, I know that you have a trauma with a student, but you need to act professionally. I, Dun, will do so if I am the leader." He shrugged.

"Shut up. No matter if they are powerful or not, students are students…"

"That's why you hate your son?"

Brad didn't answer it this time nor he became in complete denial like before. Instead, he released his killing intent.

"Fine, fine. I won't speak about it anymore. This is why I am worried about you." Dun let out a long sigh. He typed the last sentence while muttering it out loud. "I love you, my wives. Take care of the kids for me."

"…" Brad clenched his teeth and shouted. "Fine. Call the kids here. Do you think they can leave their post and make their way here? If they lose too many soldiers, they will be the ones getting overrun by the magical beasts."

"Oh, so, you are worried about them instead. It seems I have been wrong about you." Dun chuckled. "Well, that student has a sister with Teleportation Magic, right? He will probably arrive here, but it's not like we can reach those magical beasts with this current situation…"

True. If they were to reach those three beasts, they would be swarmed by the beasts on the way. They first needed to advance their troops to make sure their fight would go uninterrupted.

The same applied to Kai. If he were here, he wouldn't be able to fight alone. That was why Brad was against the idea the whole time. His trauma just spiced it up.

"No matter how low it is, we need all the help we can get. And that kid has killed a protector before, right? I am sure he is strong enough to handle the beast." Dun shrugged.

"Whatever. If he can come, then come. Even if he can't do it, I will fix his mess." He snorted before reprimanding Dun for one thing. "And I never hate my son."

"You are such a dishonest guy. Anyway, I think it's time to go. Those three are starting to get closer again…" Dun pointed at the three beasts. "We will need to buy time until the reinforcement comes. For example, we need at least four hours for the emergency reinforcement to come. As for the kid, I am not sure. It's not like he can help us alone. We have no soldiers to spare to protect him while fighting one of the three beasts. I have read his report, but yeah, I don't know how much is true…"

Brad turned around and shouted. "Ken, come here!"

A man with one star on his shoulder came and saluted. "Do you need me, General?"

"You are the strongest after Dun and me here. I want you to stop the monkey while I am killing the falcon."

"I understand. I will do my best." Ken nodded with a serious expression and looked at the monkey.

Brad's focus then returned to the three beasts and shouted. "All troops. Advance forward. The three beasts can attack you from their place, so we will kill them first. To do that, you need to protect the three of us until we kill them. If you trust me, fight with your lives on the line. I, Brad Matthew, will be right behind you."

"Uoh!" The soldiers' roars echoed as they began to release more of their strength to push the enemies back.

The three were waiting for the path to be cleared, so they could fight those powerful monsters with full energy.

"Go!"
