步步惊心丽百度云

The plan was quite simple, I would go and take out as many as I could directly while Aoif would anchor herself to part of the mountain and use the evolved vine to make a makeshift cannon to launch small rocks at a high enough speed to do damage to them.

The reason Aoif was doing this and not me was because she could aim better than me, it was something instinctual for Aoif, her soul sight had let her lock on to them in a much easier way than just aiming.

While I could do it I would no doubt be less proficient without the instinct that Aoif had for it.

However plans rarely go how you want them to go. I wasn't expecting to be able to take out a significant chunk of them undetected but there were several flaws in my plan. The first problem was that they were highly organized. After my initial attack, the ones that had been sleeping were instantly on guard, their weapons resting on the sides of their beds in their hands in barely any time at all. I had not planned for them to be that highly organized, to be able to get ready for combat in barely a second.

Looking at them I thought it would be a hard battle but they had no armor, even if all of them were in their respective military wear it would not protect them from a slash to the neck. The worrying part was how fast they were ready, It took them less than a second to be up and ready for combat.

There was even an unknown device that they had tapped when they had gotten up and that was the second problem, their communication devices.

Immediately after they had pressed that button I could see the once calm souls pouncing this way and that, no doubt whatever communication the soldier had sent had informed the rest of the camp of my presence.

Though some of them were disorganized at first they quickly got into orderly lines moving about. Some were heading to a specific direction while others were heading to my location. It would seem that they would make it here in about 30 seconds or so.

I had to be fast, closing my eyes I reinforced my legs, green light emanating off of them as they grew stronger and more resistant.

Then, brandishing my spear, I charge forth. With speed that they could not react to I cut off the first one's head then the next.

Before they had even the chance to react the decapitated heads of their comrades spurt blood.

Panic began to spread throughout the ranks, the sight of their comrades being slaughtered in such an easy manner disorienting them. However, that didn't stop some of them, only a couple.

The ones that didn't stop were the ones that knew that reinforcements would be here. Even then the brave faces they put on were just that brave faces, they were still terrified and partially paralyzed in fear.

'Rookies' I thought, there was no way that a soldier that had gone through any sort of combat would freeze as they did, especially the type of combat that I had seen them wage in their realm.

Even if they were rookies it changed nothing, they still were sent to invade my realm, my new home.

It barely took another handful of seconds to kill the rest of the stunned rookies.

…

I sent a burst of emotion out of my soul, the signal that we had decided on before parting ways.

~SATISFACTION~

It was the loudest that I had ever felt my soul emanate. I didn't even know that I could even hear the emotions but it was that strong.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Entire halls filled with souls were extinguished in seconds.

The explosions that I had heard were caused by Aoif. I could tell that those were not the last of them just by the satisfied emotions that she was sending toward me, as if to ask for praise.

Of course I sent praise to her over my emotions. It was sort of like patting her soul on the head.

I could see the preening that Aoif was doing under the praise that I sent over and I couldn't help but think of how cute that was.

However I soon shook those thoughts out of my head as the doors to the barrack that I was in were blown open.

Before the smoke could clear I dashed in, turning off my normal sight and relying solely on Aoif's soul sight.

Twenty opponents, each with a soul comparable to a tier 7 creature. However they did not have the power to conceal their origins.

The bright dots with colors matching their souls were blatantly obvious in my vision.

In just seconds I was before the first enemy. I slashed up with as much speed as I could muster.

*SLASH*

Instead of the fountain of blood I had expected, the elf was still alive. The only thing that I had done was slash through his sword.

It seems like these ones were trained well, because as soon as they heard where I was they came charging in an organized manner.

The one in front of me dropped his sword, not that there was much of it left seeing as I had slashed through the lower part of the sword.

After dropping his sword the elf dropped low and sent a sweeping kick at me.

*woosh*

The air was displaced at the force of the blow, however I had already jumped over the kick intending to land on the elf's neck and kill him.

*CLANG*

However I was unable to kill the elf, as one of the elf's comrades had reached us and swung at me. I had blocked with my spear but the force of the blow had knocked me further into the air which forced me to readjust in mid air.

By the time this had happened the smoke obscuring the elves' vision had dissipated and I could finally see my enemies.
