Death… And Me Chapter 810 - Pretending

Chapter 810 - Pretending

The battle continued as the high-level experts fought far away. As for the war between the lower levels, which was obviously several times more numerous, the Hafel Clan continued to be proactive, appearing in the zones where the demon beasts began to gain the advantage.

However, Roan also intended to capture at least two of the five territories under the Zasfins' control. With that, he managed his Demon Beast Army to focus on that task.

"Tell Falas and the Stage Five and Six Demon Beasts in her group to attack from the cliff on the northwest side of the left wing, sector 12. Make sure that only demon beasts who can climb down make up the group."

"The Sun Beetle's Battalion will give support, keeping the Zasfins down there occupied during their descent."

"On the right wing, sector 43, have the Wind Unicorns be in the frontlines with the Shadow Hakures at the rear. The Hakures' long-range attacks should provide the cover necessary for the Unicorns to slam into the left side of the Zasfins' left wing."

'Rean, on the far east, there's a group of demon beasts underground. Get ready to make an appearance right in the middle of the Zasfins' command center of that side, sector 75. Tell Qia to have Sevinia prepare her Hafel Clan's forces to drive them out. Saving a command center should provide them with quite decent merits and favors from the clan in charge of that area.'

Rean nodded straight away, replying, 'Alright.'

"Report! The Zasfins on sector 31 of our extreme left wing launched a full-on siege and broke through the Armored Water Armadillos' defense line. They are pa.s.sing through and slaughtering the demon beasts in the area." Sure enough, it wasn't as if everything worked as Roan wished. He might be very good at commanding, but he wasn't invincible.

Nevertheless, Roan's expression didn't even change as he ordered, "Hario's Silver Eagle Forces should be in sector 28. For the enemy to pa.s.s through that defense line so easily means they sent a lot of Zasfins with flying capabilities. Hario's Silver Eagle Forces should be able to deal with them. Tell him to focus on the Zasfins in midair while the land demon beasts regain their footing. If the opportunity arises, strike their commander down with the Stage Five and Six Demon Beasts we have in the area."

The communication in the field was very fast, thanks to the chain of communication between Spiritual Senses that Roan built after he arrived. He would usually receive a report from over a hundred kilometers away in just a few seconds and be able to organize a response according to the situation.

Roan then looked at the enemy's left wing, or sector 75, to be more precise. "The Black Centipede Army is in position. Tell them to emerge and cause havoc in the command center on sector 75. It should disrupt the Zasfins at the frontlines for us to cause quite a bit of damage."

All those orders seemed difficult, but in a sense, they were very simple. For example, Roan had never told the demon beasts to take up any type of battle formations. After all, they didn't have the intelligence to follow such orders.

It was thanks to the humans and the Stage Five and Six Demon Beasts in charge of each area that he could achieve some degree of coordination. The battle was very balanced, which was a very good thing considering that the Zasfins both had Battle Formations and Formation Masters.

And just like that, the second day pa.s.sed, with the demon beasts slightly forcing their way into the Humk, Freten, and Gargoc Regions. As for the Aite and Wesdin Regions, they were very close to each other. That being said, Roan used their proximity to have the Hafel Clan stay in between. Every time the demon beasts would make some progress, the Hafel Clan would jump in and drive them back. Of course, he purposely made the Hafel Clan stay still on a few occasions. Otherwise, it would be too suspicious if the Hafel Clan knew every single movement they made.

Rean once again began to heal Phex and the other demon beasts' injuries while Phex asked Roan about the war itself. "How is the conquest going?"

Roan nodded, not looking the least bit concerned. "It's quite slow, but we're still making progress. I'm getting closer to the Humk, Freten, and Gargoc Regions while keeping our forces as intact as possible. We have the advantage in numbers, but the Zasfins have the advantage in formations and intelligence down to the lowest level member."

Rean immediately understood Roan's aim, asking, "You're trying to make this battle last longer so that Phex's group would have a lot of days to fight against Fikin's forces, right?"

Roan confirmed Rean's words, responding, "Exactly. The plan is to take down the top experts of the Zasfin race, but that can't happen too soon, or their armies will retreat. We need to end this battle with as many casualties on the other side as possible."

Rean nodded and returned his attention to Frin, who he was healing at the moment. However, before Frin's injuries closed up, he stopped there and said, "Alright, you're done."

"Done?" Frin looked at his injuries before asking, "There is still a few remaining, no?"

Rean faintly smiled before saying, "I healed all your internal injuries. These ones you still have are nothing more than superficial ones that shouldn't affect your battle capability. Try it out if you don't believe me."

Frin nodded and ran his Spiritual Energy and Sense inside his body. Sure enough, he didn't even feel pain, as if the injuries weren't even there.

Roan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, saying, "Very good. If you do that, the Zasfins won't even notice that you're healing the Demon Beasts. They will be under the illusion that they have the advantage since they have a lot more resources to heal themselves. After all, they had hundreds of years to gather healing pills and other treasures that work on experts of Fikin's level. This way, we'll slowly burn out all their resources."

Phex and the others were delighted to hear that. Soon after, Xaon stopped in front of Rean before saying, "Good! Make sure you do the same thing to me."

Rean smiled in response as he started his job once more.
