God of Tricksters-Novel

Rea furrowed her eyebrows when watching the incoming monsters. They came closer and closer with greater intensity.

A middle-aged man stood next to her. He was the commander that would help them in the command center.

"I think I have to go back to my post," he said while making sure that they weren't too close to them.

"Yeah. We're going to handle them according to the plan."

"Alright."

They exchanged nods before the commander returned to the control room.

"Sir, they will arrive in seven minutes," One of the staff reported.This chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovel(F)ɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

"Tell everyone to stand by and get ready to attack." He gave the command while walking toward his position where he could monitor the battlefield.

He was holding the radio hanging on his chest.

"They will arrive in six minutes. Counting down!" Another staff member put a countdown on the monitor.

He narrowed his eyes, knowing this would be a brutal battle. After all, this was the first time they fought against monsters that had the power of King Level Monsters.

The clock was ticking. The people started to get nervous.

Although the first wave of attack didn't seem to be that dangerous, they knew what would come next. So, they couldn't help but hope for the best in the first wave to get a better situation to handle the next problem.

Meanwhile, Rea was standing next to the people. She could see their nervousness since they had been trained to hunt monsters, not war. Even in the previous two wars, there were no normal people.

'It seems that the situation is worse than I originally thought. I guess I have to step in for a while…' Rea glanced to the side where Isaac was hiding. She hoped Isaac wouldn't be in trouble.

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes.

10…

5…

3…

2…

1…

Rea's expression turned serious as she ordered through the radio. "Fire."

The commander had also seen the countdown reaching zero. Without hesitation, he commanded, "Magician, Archer, Fire at will!"

The instant the order was given, all magicians and archers released their power, aiming the space above the monsters.

They immediately shot their abilities into the skies and gradually fell down in a parabolic movement, hitting the monsters.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

There were various explosions from the Fire Magicians and explosive abilities from other people. They blasted numerous monsters and killed more than one hundred in a single wave of attack. There were some injured monsters as well.

The people who had faster speed ended up shooting the second wave of their attacks, flattening them down.

The vanguards raised their weapons and summoned their helpers. The knights were ready to take the full brunt of the enemies while the fighters and magic warriors would thin out the monsters.

"Vanguards, move out!"

The second command had been sent. The knights raised their shields while using their abilities to create a barrier. The fighters and magic warriors raised their weapons, ready to help the knights. The Enchanter had used all their abilities to increase those people's power while the summoner had brought out their summoned creatures.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The monsters let out a series of roars as they finally reached the vanguards and pounced on them.

They were stopped by the barriers but as expected of monsters that didn't know fear. They kept charging and tried their best to kill the person before them.

Some of the stronger knights, mostly Supreme Rank Knights, stopped their advance. Meanwhile, the weaker ones followed their leads, making sure that their walls remained intact.

There were only two Mythical Rank Knights on this field and both of them were standing right behind them to conserve their power. They would be patching any holes that the monsters managed to create.

Meanwhile, the fighters and magic warriors began to release one strike after another, killing the monsters to lessen the knights' burden.

"Assassins get ready to kill any monsters that slip through them. Illusionists prepare for distraction. Magicians and Rangers are to attack their rears and kill as many as you can."

The next order was given. They immediately began to move to their positions.

This was the standard plan for the war. It seemed that everyone managed to hold on and started killing those monsters.

Everything was looking good and people started to get more confidence in winning this fight.

However, Rea was the only person who was furrowing her eyebrows the whole time.

"There is something amiss…" Rea muttered. She wanted to join them earlier, but she realized something was missing. "This is not good…"

Without hesitation, Rea informed the command center. "This is Rea. Tell the magicians and knights to prepare a barrier."

The commander frowned, not knowing what she meant. On the one hand, everything was looking good. On the other hand, Rea wasn't someone who gave an order without thinking.

In the end, he had to ask, "What do you mean?"

"The situation might seem to be in our favor, but have you noticed? Not a single monster is using their Magic Power to attack us."

"!!!" The commander widened his eyes in shock. When Rea mentioned it, everything looked clear to him.

That was right. There should be a reason why the monsters didn't attack them with their Magic Power.

Rea had been thinking about this before the battle even started. Now that she had confirmed it, Rea said, "It seems that the first wave is just a distraction. The second wave will be coming from the back! I have sent people from my group along with a few scouts to locate them. Get ready for everything!"

"Understood. I shall relay it to everyone."

After understanding the situation, he immediately informed them to prepare for the second wave. It was deadlier than the first one, so the people tensed up again.

The soldiers had gone through this multiple times, so they were much calmer than them. Since they were fighting together this time, many soldiers tried to calm down the people near them, making sure they didn't make any mistakes because of their nervousness.

As if answering her doubt, Rea got a message from her radio.

"This is Isaac…"
