Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The Deputy's feeling was right. It really is bad idea to let the squads inside their formation because, as the second line and the earth users focused on three squads that entered, they didn't notice that the rest of the battalion's earth element users and wood element users are doing something.

Earth element users placed their hands on the walls, while the wood element users placed their hands on the ground and both parties closed their eyes.

And before they knew it, there is a huge change in the front line.

The earthen wall made of Red rock suddenly underwent a metamorphosis.

The earth element users responsible for maintaining the wall felt the change but before they could react, the ground under their feet started showing changes, they felt that their feet and legs being attacked by numerous sharp objects.

When they looked down, they saw the shrubs in the surroundings all started growing to their maximum and size and their thorns became fortified by the wood element energy penetrating their skin and making them distracted.

And this distraction changed the course of the battle.

The Red rock wall, changed the shape and before they knew it, there are several gaps and the wall started moulding itself into small room around the earth element user and before they could react, numerous spikes made of the sharp rocks protruded inside killing them.

From this one situation more than half of the earth users died and the other half who reacted fast enough were seriously injured becoming unfit for the battle.

The healers started helping some people with the protection of the second line soldiers.

Right now, the first line is compromised.

Deputy was in shock at what happened. As soon as he saw this scene, he immediately commanded.

"Go to a full-on mode, don't drag the fight. They don't even have a single casualty, try to do as much damage as you can and slowly retreat towards the town. We will defend the town no matter what."

As he said this, he looked at Sam, who is pretty relaxed. He didn't see Sam giving a single command since the battle started.

The soldiers attacked on their own, there is not even a single strategy or order from the young commander.

He has thoughts if this battalion is a special elite army trained by some expert in the dukedom and they have lent it to Sam just for the sake of winning. After all, they are the same. If not for the Duke they would never be under this Young Lord's command.

Deputy still looked at the battle. He is observing the attack patterns of the Sam's soldiers.

He was completely amazed, he noticed that there are no energy consuming attacks from those soldiers.

All the attacks are done with minimum energy usage and simplest of them. The attacking speed, control and lethality are being carefully controlled.

Particularly, the earth and wood element users are the ones that are quite intriguing. They are not even trying to make some serious damage to the soldiers. They are completely focused on defending and laying traps.

He never thought, that even the shrubs can be this dangerous. Generally, the wood users, carry some special seeds which are of various vine type plants.

These seeds are formed by various experimentations from a special branch of pharmaceutical tower. The Herbology. They study in improvement of various herbs to increase medical effects and also try to find ways to increase the production of these herbs.

These types of vine species are completely accidental. They are vines which will grow rapidly and have very small life span, they can grow in very harsh environments provided that they have sufficient wood element energy.

But Sam's soldiers are not using them. Deputy didn't know whether they had them.

But if they really had them and yet to use, this is quite dangerous. He now understood that all their attack patterns and war techniques are useless. He saw for the first time the best coordination between different element users in a single squad.

The most painful thing is the warriors who are on a constant move. They are not only making it hard for them to target them, they are even assisting all the remaining companies and particularly the healers.

The healers of the Sam's battalion are right in middle of battle, yet they are not being attacked at all. To be precise, they are being protected to that extent.

When anyone is injured, these warriors and the earth element users are safely escorting the healer to the injured and let them heal.

There are more than hundred casualties on Peac.o.c.k's side, yet Sam's side didn't even have a seriously injured person.

Their usage of spiritual energy is frugal and they can take a long-lasting battle.

Even when someone is having a deficit in spiritual energy, they will get near the nearest earth element user and take out a neutral energy cell to recharge quickly. The best advantage of the energy cells, they can switch to attack with the energy within the cell at any given movement.

This became the ideal team. They are good as squads, companies or even the whole battalion.

The Deputy was completely envious.

Peac.o.c.k who is even far behind the Deputy didn't know what is happening. He could see his soldiers being killed, but he couldn't understand the lethality and severity of the teamwork that Sam's team is providing.

The Deputy is brainstorming on how to neutralise the situation. He knew that there are only two ways, either give a last life and death struggle or retreat to the town and defend.

Either way, he has to take down some people first.

So, he gave an order.

"Target the healers. Third line, join the battle."

As he said those words, the battle immediately became intense. The Deputy who was on the watch tower picked up a Javelin and aimed.

The lightning energy surged as he threw the Javelin into the battle.

Even though, the soldiers dodged it narrowly, the Javelin struck the ground like a thunder and made it tremble along with disrupting the order.

Not only him, many other Javelin throwers are also doing the same. The worst part is their soldiers are also being affected.

Sam frowned at this and he observed the directions of the javelins. They are being thrown at the healers. The earth element users are doing a great job, but these javelins are making them consume the energy faster.

Just from one look, he could understand why they didn't use these kinds of attack earlier even though they used javelins before.

It is like a Kamikaze effort. Their side although not deaths, are also suffering from the disorder.

Sam looked at the people in an elevated spot in the back.

He nocked an arrow and pulled the string of the Golden crescent.

*Whoosh*

The arrow made a hole through the forehead of a person who was about to throw a Javelin.

Sam didn't use other elemental energies it is pure spiritual energy and it still produced its lethality.

Next was the whistles of the arrows flying are becoming more and more and every arrow took a life.

The Deputy noticed this, he didn't think that Sam would also be this lethal, he estimated the other party's strength as same as the young lord's but he is dead wrong.

They are very different. Just this archery level is enough to shake fear in enemies and judging from the relaxed expression this is not even half of it.

He cleared his mind and decided.

He will give one last try and he can make it, he will proceed with a head on battle otherwise, he would retreat with his army and will defend the town from inside.

He took out another Javelin, this one has a lot of runes on it, he closed his eyes, as he channelled a lot of lightning elemental energy into it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Javelin throwers are terrified by Sam and are having a hard time coping with this and seeing their leader use this special trick, they abandoned the Javelins and started defending, even the soldiers of Peac.o.c.k noticed their deputy and also went on defensive as they moved backward slowly.

Their moves are as discreet as possible, but Sam noticed this. Then he sensed something and looked at the watch tower where Deputy stood.

The temporary wooden roof and the walls of the observation spot were demolished immediately as the spiritual energy surged like crazy.

Sam could sense the spiritual energy being drained from the leader and not only that there are some more lightning elemental users adding their energy into it.

This way, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger for the leader after throwing and to be safe there are two healers standing behind him ready to heal.

Sam frowned. He knew that whatever that is happening is going to be trouble. The soldiers are still battling and even they noticed the energy, but they are still confident when they saw that Sam's expression although frowning was still a bit nonchalant, so they pressed on.

Deputy opened his eyes and looked at Sam. The Javelin contained around three novice's full energy. This attack will be like a thunder strike from the sky. He was ready to throw, but he has yet to see a hint of panic on Sam's face.
