READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 328: Battle!
Wind attribute energy once again gathered into a blue feathered arrow on the longbow, flying toward Charles once more.
But that wasn't all, the wind attribute energy within Silas continued to surge, rapidly condensing to release a second and then a third blue feathered arrow.
Three arrows sealed off all of Charles's escape routes, whistling as they shot toward him!
"Let's see how you dodge this!" Silas gritted his teeth, his eyes wide as he closely observed Charles's movements.
Charles heard the whistling sound around him and felt everything within Divine Domain.
He tightened his grip on the black gold long knife in his hand and performed an exceptionally smooth and elegant draw-and-slash. All three feathered arrows disintegrated in mid-air!
Having neutralized Silas's attack, Charles turned to look, gripping the black gold long knife in his hand.
If it weren't for the need to support Jace and the others, Charles really wanted to go over right now and severely torment those level four Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire, showing them what true cruelty meant!
Suppressing that thought, Charles led the other level four Beast Masters from Genosha without a moment's pause, closing in on the level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire on the mountaintop.
"Damn it! They arrived before us, and before we've even started the real battle, we're already at a disadvantage!" Silas cursed loudly, his anxiety and worry stronger than ever.
If Charles continued like this, he would have to say goodbye to the Golden Devouring Enhancement Stone he had always wanted!
At that moment, Mira suddenly said from behind, "Look, Charles's chosen route seems off, he's not supporting the Genosha level three Beast Masters from behind, instead, he's heading directly to our Beast Masters' rear."
"This is going to be a pincer attack, he doesn't want to give us any chance! What a decisive tactic!"
Mira's eyes widened. She had originally thought Charles was simply going to support the level three Beast Masters from Genosha, but she didn't expect him to be so bold!
"What an opportunity! Charles wants to form a pincer attack with the Genosha level three Beast Masters to crush all our level three Beast Masters, but if we play this right, it could be our chance!" Silas clenched his fists, taking deep breaths.
He was smart enough to realize that Charles's choice of route carried certain risks. If the advantageous level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire reacted and managed to delay Charles even slightly.
They would then flank him with their own level four Beast Masters along with the level three Beast Masters on the mountain!
Everything depended on whether Charles could defeat the Stellar Empire's level three Beast Masters before they arrived and how quickly their group could reach the battlefield!
In the live broadcast room, all the viewers began to worry again. Although they believed in Charles, it was completely normal to feel anxious since the outcome was still uncertain and the battle wasn't over yet.
Some high-level Beast Masters were continuously analyzing, "As long as he can quickly eliminate the encircled level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire, victory will belong to us!"
"But if this drags on too long and the level four Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire arrive, then it could be a different story, the risks are not small!"
"I still believe in Charles, he can definitely do it!"
In mid-air, Nathaniel's face broke into a smile as he said appreciatively, "That kid Charles, making such a decisive choice, really aligns with my character. If it were me, I would do the same!"
Jamie nodded in agreement and replied, "A qualified leader should be decisive, as long as there's confidence, they should pursue what they want to do!"
"It seems like the battle is nearing its end. The Stellar Empire folks probably won't have many opportunities left." Nathaniel said slowly.
Jamie shook his head and replied with some dissatisfaction, "The people from the Stellar Empire are somewhat lacking, their true geniuses haven't even arrived yet. Otherwise, it would be much more exciting."
"From Charles's current performance, the Stellar Empire probably doesn't have any talents that can compare to him." Nathaniel thought for a moment, as he was fairly familiar with the information about the Stellar Empire.
A talent like Charles is rare throughout the Abyssal Depths. Genosha is fortunate, but if Charles were a genius from another country, he would certainly become a powerful and dangerous opponent in the future!
"After the Eye of Ice and Fire ends, we need to protect Charles well. Rival nations might take action against him. After all, stifling talent in the cradle is a common tactic used by everyone." Nathaniel's concern for Charles was growing.
"If the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire don't have any hidden tricks, then they won't have much to do with this Eye of Ice and Fire. Speaking of which, should we let your daughter compete with Charles?" Jamie suggested.
Nathaniel replied, "Let's wait and see. If necessary, I'll talk to her about it."
The two level eight Beast Masters continued their conversation, while Zorion, also a level eight Beast Master, was now extremely anxious, especially since the entire process was being broadcast live.
If they failed like this, returning to the Stellar Empire would be utterly humiliating.
Moreover, if that happened, the purpose of participating in the Eye of Ice and Fire would not be realized, and they would instead lose the reputation of Crown Prince Silas.
That would not be a good thing, after all, the Emperor of the Stellar Empire was growing weaker by the day, and several princes were vying for power, each wanting to become the next Emperor.
Therefore, the performance of each prince was of utmost importance. If they failed this time, it would elevate the reputations of the other princes!
Moreover, Crown Prince Silas must obtain the Golden Devouring Enhancement Stone if he wants to leverage the power of the Dawn organization in the underground world of the Stellar Empire!
Zorion quietly inhaled and glanced at his mystical beast, contemplating the use of some unsavory tactics.
Under the influence of the Eye of Ice and Fire, there were still quite a few ferocious beasts in the area. However, due to the presence of the four level eight Beast Masters, no ferocious beast dared to show itself.
This was an opportunity, if a ferocious beast were to target Charles and his group of level four Beast Masters, Crown Prince Silas would have a much greater chance of securing victory!
Just as Zorion was subtly instructing his mystical beast, Jamie and Nathaniel both shot him a glance.
"This guy is really shameless, he's quite a talent in his own right." Jamie whispered.
Nathaniel nodded in agreement, he had never liked people like that. What did it matter if a level eight Beast Master had power? If they were morally lacking, they were just a stronger version of a thug!
"There's no need to stop him, just keep an eye on things to avoid any accidents with the students." Nathaniel said.
He didn't intend to intervene with Zorion because, in real battlefields, surprises were the norm.
Charles was still very young, although he was already quite experienced compared to his peers, he seemed very naive next to those seasoned generals.
If ferocious beasts suddenly appeared later, it would also provide him with some valuable experience.
As Nathaniel thought this, he remained unaware that he had unconsciously elevated Charles's status.
What initially was a comparison between Charles and his peers had now turned into a comparison between him and battle-hardened generals, who were all in their thirties or forties!
And Charles was only eighteen! There was a gap of more than a decade or even twenty years between them.
The key point was that Nathaniel, as a level eight Beast Master, saw no issue with this. His subconscious mind had come to believe that Charles was already exceptional to this degree!
The situation on the battlefield was rapidly changing.
Charles, along with the level four Beast Masters from Genosha, appeared behind the level three Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire, and the Stellar Empire people began to take notice.
The one who had initially claimed that the Genosha Beast Masters had a stronghold that was easy to defend but hard to attack immediately shouted:
"Everyone, pay attention! Charles wants to sandwich us from both sides! Don't hesitate, leave a few people to hold off the level three Beast Masters on the mountain, and everyone else should turn around to defend against their attack!"
"As long as we can hold them off until His Highness the Crown Prince arrives with reinforcements, victory will be ours!"
At critical moments, when someone stepped up, the other Beast Masters would instinctively follow the orders.
There were still geniuses in the Stellar Empire, this person who stepped forward had good strategic vision and experience, and his choice was indeed the best option at the moment.
However, Charles was not going to give him that opportunity!
With the black gold long knife in his hand gleaming with a sharp cold light, and enhanced by the Moon Riding Wind skill, Charles resembled a reaper of souls!
With every rise and fall of his blade, the level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire let out cries of pain.

If it weren't for Nathaniel's earlier warning against killing, these level three Beast Masters would have already stopped breathing and descended to hell!
"Damn it! This guy's strength is terrifying, no one can withstand his attacks, not even for a moment!"
"Help! I'm scared, I want to go home!"
"All the blood on him is ours, he's like a devil straight from hell! A monster!"
There is a gap between level three and level four Beast Masters, but in front of Charles, these people felt like helpless weeds by the roadside.
With his long knife, Charles took down each enemy one by one, and in a very short time, the defensive formation formed by the level three Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire was about to be shattered by Charles alone!
However, just at that moment,
An abnormal tremor suddenly occurred beneath the feet of the level four Beast Masters from Genosha, as if some enormous creature was slowly emerging from the ground below!
