Chapter 181 Before the War
Silent all night.

Although the coalition forces considered the possibility of a night attack, they finally gave up the idea when they saw the white fog that no one could do anything about.

Of course, in order to prevent a possible night attack from Roland, they also strengthened the security of the camp. However, since Roland had no plans to launch a night attack, they were just guarding against it in vain.

Both parties spent their first night peacefully.

However, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth the next day, as the white mist over Roland's camp slowly dissipated, the atmosphere on the battlefield gradually became serious.

Fully armed golden soldiers filed out of the camp one after another. They marched in an orderly manner without any confusion, and they soon formed large military formations.

On the other side, the coalition forces that discovered Roland's movement also slowly began to move.

Amidst countless insults and scoldings, some confused soldiers walked out of their respective camps, some running around in a mess.

The commanders of the coalition forces tried hard to command and try to get the soldiers to form a basic military formation.

But the effect is not very good.

After spending more than ten minutes and seeing things becoming more and more chaotic, they finally gave up.

After they organized their elite troops, they simply ignored the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers. They didn't ask them to perform well, as long as they could join in the fight.

Under the urging of the supervision team, the miscellaneous soldiers had no choice but to follow the command obediently and step into the battlefield.

After the other side started to move, Roland also gave the order to advance.

As the sound of war drums rang out, ten thousand strictly trained soldiers marched out in unison to the rhythm of the drums. They struck their shields with daggers, and the uniform sound shook the battlefield.

Compared to the chaotic coalition forces filled with all kinds of noise and cacophony, Roland's side was much more serious. Apart from the rhythmic drums, neat footsteps and knocking sounds, there was hardly any noise at all.

In this situation, the coalition soldiers who witnessed everything, even the extraordinary people who were shouting and commanding the soldiers, were a little surprised. After witnessing all this, they suddenly became quiet.

Afterwards, this eerie silence quickly spread to the entire coalition force. Suddenly, the sound of swallowing saliva came from nowhere, breaking the silence.

Although this was the first time they had seen this kind of situation and they had no idea what Roland was doing, the inexplicable atmosphere coming from Roland still made them a little nervous.

This terrifying atmosphere also lowered their morale a lot.

As for Roland, as they continued to advance, the courage and morale of the soldiers gradually increased. They clenched their swords and shields, as if they could feel the strong fighting spirit of their comrades around them and their own rising strength.

This was not an illusion, as their tacit rhythm, their auras began to interact with each other, and their extraordinary powers resonated with each other, elevating each other.

Although the coalition forces became more and more fearful as Roland's orderly recommendation progressed, and some soldiers even fled before the battle, it was not a total rout. A few deserters who wanted to run were hacked to death by the supervisory team.

Realizing that they could not delay any longer, the extraordinary people who had allowed Roland to continue to accumulate power quickly came to their senses. A third-level extraordinary person stood up, pointed his spear at Roland, and shouted loudly.

"Go ahead! If you behead one person, you will be rewarded one silver coin. If you defeat all the enemies, you will be rewarded. After you capture Qingcao City, you will not be able to put down your sword for ten days."

Under his financial offensive, the morale of the coalition forces was barely restored, and they continued to advance in a disorderly manner, holding various weapons.

However, compared to ordinary soldiers who can be motivated by money, the extraordinary people in the coalition have already sensed that something is wrong, especially Haber and Chahar who are on the edge of the coalition.

Harber's eyes swept across the soldiers on the opposite side, and his face became more and more serious. He took the initiative to grab the worried Chahar beside him and spoke.

"Let's run away. The worst enemy is a knight's squire. We can't defeat him."

Chahar looked at him unexpectedly and said hesitantly.

"You mean their strength is not the effect of witchcraft?"

"Who told you it was the effect of spell enhancement?"

Harber looked at him suspiciously, and seeing his eyes that were hardly tainted by knowledge, he sighed and said.

"If these soldiers are all enhanced by witchcraft, then we should run away. What do you think the level of a spellcaster is who can perfectly bless nearly 10,000 soldiers with a strengthening spell and cast the spell right from the beginning without worrying about the duration being insufficient? I can't guess, but I know one thing, if this is really the case, he can definitely crush us to death easily."

Chahar was silent for a while and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

The wizards he had encountered before, even if they could strengthen the soldiers, would only use the strengthening magic in close combat at first. However, the soldiers on the opposite side seemed to have always looked like this since they appeared before his eyes.

However, even so, he shook his head helplessly and said.

"You succeeded in convincing me, but if we don't even make contact and fight, even if I want to escape, there won't be many men who will obey my orders."

Harber rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Then prepare to surrender in advance. Once the front army is crushed and the enemy shows its strength, we will surrender immediately."

"Aren't you going to run?"

Chahar scratched his helmet and continued,

"We are at the back, and with those people in front blocking us, we should have time to escape, right?"

In response, Harber gave a kind smile.

"If you think that the soldiers under your command can outrun a group of knights' squires, or even knights, you can give it a try. Also, don't forget that in addition to these soldiers, there are two spellcasters of unknown strength on the opposite side. Do you think they will attack you when you run away?"

"Of course, if you really want to run, I can't stop you, but don't hold me back, I'm going to throw myself directly, and then you can die however you want, just don't let your blood splash on me."

Listening to Haber's words, Chahar looked at the guards around him, then raised his head to look at the neat army formation in front of him with murderous intent, and finally sighed helplessly and said.

"I see. You wizards are smart. I'll just listen to you and vote."

"That's right, it's just a few bucks, why work so hard? With your ability, you can get by anywhere."

Harber patted Chahar on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Chahar sighed and said nothing.
