Chapter 160: Changing the Tides of the Battle
"So this how I die, huh?" He let out a bitter chuckle as he stared at the spear that was about to penetrate his body.
Time seemed to have slowed down in that instant.
Just when he thought that he was about to die, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and parried Fire Spear General\'s attack.
Schwing!
Feeling shocked by the sudden turn of events, Lester raised his head to get a clearer look at the person who had saved him. "You are…"
Lester immediately recognized the guy after seeing his side profile. It was Bernard Oceanwave, the division commander of the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division!
Lester had seen this guy a couple of times before since he was always together with Fredrinn. He just didn\'t expect that Bernard was actually powerful enough to parry Fire Spear General\'s attack.
"It seems like I came just right in time. Are you alright, General Lester?" Bernard muttered with his back facing Lester.
Lester gritted his teeth and pushed himself up with a bit of difficulty. He then responded with a dry chuckle. "As you can see, I look like shit right now."
"Since you can still afford to crack a joke, I guess you\'re alright."
"Leave this to me and take the time to recover your Qi," Bernard muttered as he eyed the two opponents before him.
"Who are you!?" Fire Spear General frowned. This person actually managed to parry his spear without much effort. He never thought that there was another expert on the same level as them on the enemy\'s side.
"Division Commander of the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry Division, Bernard Ocean! Remember that name for that is the name of the man who will end your life!" Bernard smashed his trident into the ground and made a series of hand seals.
After getting the Boundless Ocean Arcanum from Fredrinn, he had comprehended a battle technique that could be said to have reached the level of transcendent-rank skills. He had been perfecting it since he learned the battle technique.

As soon as he made the final hand seal, an image of a large ocean wave appeared, bringing about the fury of the sea.
Seeing this, Fire Spear General immediately released a wall of flames with a wave of his spear.
Unfortunately for him, the fearsome giant wave engulfed the wall of flame and struck his body like a tsunami!
Splash!!
The old man drowned in the vast sea before he heavily slammed into the ground, forming a deep pit in the process!
Death Arrow General watched in horror as everything unfolded.
"Half-step Void Tempering!" He exclaimed in disbelief.
When Bernard released that power, Death Arrow General sensed the power that was similar to their leader, Markelle.
Bernard didn\'t stop there. He appeared before the old man who was struggling to get up and stabbed him with his trident.
Fire Spear General couldn\'t even protect himself. He died on the spot!
After killing the old man, Bernard turned his head and smiled at Death Arrow General. "You\'re next!"
Death Arrow General felt his heart drop when he saw Bernard\'s smile. He immediately released a barrage of arrows as he retreated.
Bernard shook his head, seemingly disappointed by his cowardice. He waved his trident, flinging away the arrows as if they were nothing! He then threw his trident at the escaping Death Arrow General.
"Noo!!" The latter shifted his body, but as if it had eyes of its own, the trident changed direction and impaled him, nailing him into the ground!
"Argh!" Death Arrow General felt his body slowly turning cold.
\'So this is what death feels like. I feel cold…\'
Those were his last thoughts before he closed his eyes forever.
Lester watched the entire fight in utter disbelief. The experts who had almost killed him died in just the blink of an eye.
\'There\'s actually a guy like this working for Fredrinn?\' He couldn\'t believe it. Even in a supreme household, a half-step Void Tempering would be revered and respected, but someone at level was now working for a young man who could even be his grandson!
"General Lester, we don\'t have time to dawdle! The battle isn\'t over yet!"
"Let\'s go! General Fredinn\'s group still needs our support!"
Hearing this, Lester woke up from his stupor. He nodded his head and immediately hopped on his horse. "Let\'s go!"
The two led their army and bulldozed their way into the enemy formation!
At this moment, Lester finally caught sight of Fredrinn\'s figure.
He was surrounded by enemies on all sides fending them off with his guandao and shield. Furthermore, he also had to defend against the attacks of Markelle, a half-step Void Tempering powerhouse!
Despite the precarious situation he was in, Fredrinn stood his ground without falling. Compared to him who had almost died against two corps commanders, Lester felt embarrassed. \'That is what a true General should be like…\' He thought to himself.
The appearance of Lester and Bernard changed the tide of the battle. Their timely arrival saved Fredrinn\'s exhausted troops.
"General Fredrinn, we\'re here to support you!" Lester shouted as he cut his way through towards Fredrinn.
Hearing this, Fredrinn who was almost out of Qi breathed out a sigh of relief.
\'They are finally here.\'
Markelle was stunned. \'We outnumber them and we also have more experts. So why are we being pushed back?\' He couldn\'t believe his eyes.
"Markelle, this is the power of my troops. Just give up. You stand no chance." Fredrinn shook his head with a calm look.
"Surrender and we will spare your lives!" He bellowed.
"Surrender and we will spare your lives!" The soldiers of the Mad Bear Corps echoed his words.
Lester looked around in surprise. It wasn\'t over yet so why are they shouting as if they had already won the battle?
However, something surprising happened.
A few enemies actually threw their weapons and raised their hands. More and more enemies surrendered after seeing that they were on the losing end.
\'What the hell is going on?\' Lester was speechless.
