Chapter 795 One-Man Army

In a city surrounded by deserts and barren lands, there were several gun battles and heated explosions.

The city where the battle took place was already destroyed and no longer inhabited by civilians, only armed soldiers from the colonial and colonized sides.

“Sigh, I thought the war was over due to the spread of a mysterious disease. Not all wars stopped, huh… Has that mysterious disease not arrived in this region yet? Where are we currently at, in the first place?” Lifa checked her map scroll but became confused because she didn’t even know her current location.

“We’re in the north middle-east.” A bunch of brown powder gathered and formed a small ball of sand. She was the nature spirit guiding this team on this continent.

“North middle-east? Is it a place name or a direction, Sandy?” Lifa blinked her eyes a few times. She scanned the map, but she couldn’t find the place mentioned.

“Here, in this region. We are here because of the division of hunting grounds, and our current target is a Major General. He is a participant with high military strength and is notorious for his cruelty toward his opponents. Right now, he is here with a regiment of soldiers and a platoon of state-of-the-art armed infantry.” Sandy landed on the map and pointed to an area.

“Over two thousand colonial troops and a dozen weapons of great destruction. Those heavy war vehicles looks dangerous.” Lifa nodded and stared at the battlefield in the distance.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Dozens of missiles were fired into the opponent’s area, destroying many buildings and houses. A sea of fire instantly devoured several areas. However, the opposing side immediately counterattacked with several missiles and bombs.

“No air strikes. It’s just ground combat.” Lifa considered several things to come up with a plan.

She could have infiltrated the command encampment where her target was, but that person was surrounded by many soldiers. It was impossible to avoid a big clash no matter the situation.

Therefore, she also thought of other ways to achieve broader results to end the war. Something like destroying the enemy’s weaponry and forcing everyone to retreat while the General would be eliminated in the process.

“Gio.” Lifa beckoned the armored dragon-like man to approach. She then told Gio some details about what he should do via telepathy.

“Hmm.” Gio nodded in understanding. His task was quite simple and easy to complete.

Based on the instruction, the heavily armed troops must be immediately destroyed with minimal casualties because those people would only hinder his master’s original plan.

A few moments later, Lifa took Gio flying into the sky behind the clouds. She dropped him right in the middle of the heated battlefield.

“Hmm!” Gio crossed his arms in front of his chest and placed a gravity barrier around his body. He shot down to the ground like a giant bomb.

*Boom!!!* *Rumble!*

A massive centralized earthquake occurred, sending a considerable amount of sandy soil into the air.

Hundreds of buildings within a two-kilometer radius were razed to the ground instantly.

Dozens of tanks and heavy weaponry landed back on the ground in ruins. Hundreds of soldiers rushed to save themselves from the danger zone while wondering what had just happened.

“Bomb attack from the resistance forces!”

“Is that a failed hydrogen bomb or something!?”

“Earthquake bomb?”

“No, it’s an ultra heavy shell!”

“Grr…” Gio put his stance as he growled. He clenched his hands into fists before darting at the nearby war vehicles like a missile.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Bam!*

Gio went free rampage in the middle of the battlefield and destroyed many war vehicles. He continued to move towards the rendezvous point without a single obstacle capable of stopping him.

“That’s not a bomb, but someone in full body armor! Fire, take that person down!”

“Is that person from the myth giant tribe or what!? Is there someone three meters tall like that person?”

“He is the monster of destruction!”

“Argh, fire, fire! Die you monster!”

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The soldiers panicked and fired guns at Gio, but nothing could penetrate his impregnable armor.

*Boom!* *Boom!*

Several tanks opened fire at Gio, but his defense far surpassed the devastation of the explosion. Gio didn’t need to use any extra protection besides his gravity barrier and his reliable armored body.

“Grr!” Gio tore a large tank in half with his bare hands. He then threw the soldiers inside at the other nearby attackers. After that, he rushed off and destroyed some more.

“…” The Commander in the defense and resistance forces was speechless at what he saw through the binoculars.

He had just received a report regarding someone rampaging through the battlefield and destroying the opposing army like a savage beast. However, he did not expect that an armored man was actually possessing such a dangerous, destructive power.

“A terrifying tool of destruction. Did he come to help us or what? What kind of armor is he wearing? Is America interfering in this war to help us?” The Commander wondered, but no one could answer.

“Commander, this is our chance to strike back. Whether that person is on our side or not, he is currently destroying the opposing army.” A high-ranking soldier gave a piece of advice.

“However, don’t let our attacks hit that armored man for whatever reason. If he turns around and attacks us, it will be an annihilation.” The Commander gulped his saliva and lowered his binoculars. He turned around and gave an order to the troops. “We will counterattack and repulse the opposing forces! Assist that armored man!”

“Yes, sir!” The soldiers saluted and immediately carried out the order.

The order spread rapidly, and the defense soldiers immediately counterattacked the opposing army that had been ravaged by the armored man’s unstoppable attacks.

“Report, our vanguard has been destroyed and the enemy is on their way here!” A soldier knelt down to report to the General.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. The Major General was wide-eyed in shock, and the higher-ups gasped as well. Their attack was unlikely to get meaningful resistance from the opposing side because their victory was absolute. They were just there buying time for the opposite side to surrender voluntarily!

“How many enemy troops are attacking? How can they destroy our vanguard?” The General frowned. He felt something was wrong.

“It’s just one person. It’s a one man army. He destroyed our vanguard in an instant and no one can stop him! The resistance forces are following that person from behind to take advantage of this opportunity.” The cadet read the report frantically.

“Calm down. It looks like we have a third party here. Get ready for battle with that one man army! We will make the resistance army collapse today!” The General exclaimed confidently.

His command restored the morale of the other soldiers. After all, their leader still looked calm and confident.

“Yes, sir!” All the high-ranking soldiers immediately left the tent to organize their troops. They would welcome the so-called one-man army with great fanfare.

“…” The General wiped his sweat. He did look calm from the outside, but he was nervous inside.

His main goal was the opposing participant, the General of the resistance forces. But, the war became even more heated just because he failed to shoot the man dead on the battlefield several days ago.

“Didn’t you have enough fun, Major General Zechariah Ben-Shahar?” A lady’s voice greeted in English from behind.

“!?” Zechariah Ben-Shahar gasped and immediately turned around with his gun pointed at the source of the sound, ready to fire. “Who are you? Were you involved with the one man army that attacked our troops? Why did you do it?”

Lifa smiled faintly behind her shadow mask. The other person spoke in a language that Elysia understood, namely English. Yet, she didn’t want to linger here because Gio was currently bombarded with gunfire and explosions.

“As a high ranking soldier, you shouldn’t be involved in that dead match game. You received a warning letter yesterday, and the time has come to end it all.” After saying that, Lifa suddenly disappeared and reappeared right behind the General.

“!?” Zechariah Ben-Shahar felt his body tense up. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he realized he no longer had control over his body.

“With this, you have been eliminated. The retribution for what you have done will come someday. You should take all your troops back. My misstress lady does not wish to see this chaos and meaningless war.” Lifa played with the black chess piece in her hand before turning away.

“Wait, wait a minute! Are you the executioner?” Zechariah Ben-Shahar shouted before the other party left.

“Hmm?” Lifa stopped in her tracks.

“Will everyone involved be eliminated? Is there no hope for us to fulfill our greatest wish!? If this is all just God’s plaything, then why only humans receive the retribution? We are only carrying out orders on what we are forced to!” Zechariah Ben-Shahar asked what made him feel helpless.

“Are those deities forcing their will and making you a part of the game by force? Aren’t the participants also tempted by the amazing prizes that the game offers? However, that’s not our problem as the world law enforcers. The game will end in its entirety. Everyone will be judged someday on the day of judgment, without exception.” Lifa revoked her magic and disappeared from there using short-range teleportation.

*Gasp*

Zechariah Ben-Shahar gasped for air when he could move his body again. That executioner was terrifying, far above the deity who ruled him from the shadows.

Meanwhile, Gio was still having fun on the battlefield, destroying this and that like toys. He treated it as a defense exercise against bombardment attacks from various directions.

However, the fun here was over because his master’s friend had come to pick him up.

Lifa was in an empty building, waving her hand. Gio noticed it and immediately rushed in. She then brought Gio away using short-range teleportation.

*Boom!* *Boom!*

The empty building was bombarded from a distance, crushing it to rubble. Yet, no one was there when checked.

The absence of the one-man army forced the resistance forces to retreat back to their base. However, the continuation of the war seemed to be suspended for some unknown reason. The invading troops somehow retreated to the region’s border.
