Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564
The opposing Sword Spike Elites have two backup teams.
From the beginning, they didn’t go all out.
The team facing the front is merely bait; the other two groups are the true trump cards, meant to strike lethally at the Laiserman forces’ weakened side.
The Brotherhood of Sword Spike has controlled the city of Usmer for over thirty years, surely not without some unique traits of their own.
If the less than a hundred aged Laiserman could easily overwhelm them, they would have been buried in the belly of the fish countless times.
Ferrican was not merely boasting. Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
If not for the protection of their Brotherhood of Sword Spike, this city with a fine port would have long been a pirate haven, exploited without mercy.
In that scenario, the civilians of Usmer would suffer far more than the harsh exploitation by the Sword Spike Brotherhood.
It was unexpected that the leader of this Komeer Fleet was even more extraordinary than imagined; upon receiving intelligence, the Sword Spike Brotherhood immediately adjusted their plans.
A local clique cannot compete with an influential outsider.
Although there’s truth in that, not all powerful figures are the same.
If this powerful figure far exceeds the local clique in all aspects, and the clique insists on a headstrong approach, they will be crushed to nothing.
The three Sword Spike Elite squads are formidable against the poorly equipped Laiserman forces, able to handle three opponent each, efficiently grinding them down.
However, for a general who can lead an army of a hundred thousand across 3,500 kilometers, capturing and razing cities with ease, they are insignificant, easily crushed underfoot by his elites.
The reason the opponent hasn’t done this yet isn’t lack of ability, but allowing time for them to verify his identity.
If they fail to respond, a disaster awaits them—a sign of the lack of foundation and capability, making their removal inconsequential.
The political machinations contain far more peril than this dockside battle, far beyond the grasp of ordinary people.
Gaven wasn’t surprised that the Brotherhood of Sword Spike identified him; thousands of kilometers are insurmountable for ordinary people, but a matter of two Advanced Teleportation Techniques for those with influence.
In Gaven’s view, the Sword Spike Brotherhood made a foolish move earlier, revealing their shortsightedness, though not entirely foolish.
Gaven didn’t respond directly but commanded his shadow: "Bring High Priestess Anna and the medical team in."
As his shadow wavered, seconds later, magic aura characteristic of teleportation flashed around Gaven, and two squads appeared behind him.
Consisting of one squad of males and one of females, they share the common trait of youth, seemingly averaging under twenty.
Their attire is uniform: gray long clothes and pants, composite cuirass with the holy emblem of Ilmater, carrying Howard Convenient Bag, wearing Ghost Cloak, left arm shielded by a transparent Air Glass Arm Shield, holding Life Staff.
Leading them was none other than the first to be taken by Gaven, or rather, the first to follow the Conqueror, Priestess Ilmater Anna Caben.
The past year, not only has Gaven grown, but those around him have experienced various levels of development, showing himself as a bright sun compared to others as humble stars.
In comparison with ordinary people, the growth speed is astounding, unmatched even by Felen’s most successful adventure group.
Anna is in the forefront of growth speed, meticulously nurtured by Gaven with abundant resources and opportunities.
Priority is given to her for benefits, often accompanying Gaven whether useful or not, earning her a joking reputation as just one of Gaven’s many shadows in the Conqueror Army.
This isn’t merely due to past feelings and understanding of her character, but her unique profession.
Priestess of Ilmater, God of Suffering, revered as the best healer in Felen for their divine arts and exclusive healing domains, driven by empathy for the afflicted, offering attentive, selfless care.
These healers are indispensable, both during daily life and on the battlefield.
Ilmater’s churches and monasteries often function as hospitals, including mental health institutions and leprosy shelters run by devout believers.
As Gaven is destined to develop his territories, fostering this aspect is crucial, even considering the Gnolls as potential medical soldiers.
Results showed it was challenging, despite the presence of numerous Gnoll medical soldiers under Gaven, who rely not on Ilmater’s faith but on Dragon Vein strength, with low growth potential, fulfilling only the lowest tier of the medical system.
