[DROP] Supreme World'S System (Supreme World System)
Chapter 157 ~ Igard Charles

The afternoon after the start of the 2nd day Tarung Tournament.

The Yellow Knight army, the best knights in the Paliji Empire had arrived at its destination and made camp not far from the camp of the Celestial Empire which colonized the area of the Paliji Empire.

The Celestial Empire with the mixed forces between Devils and Humans had successfully invaded the enemy territory. Led by Crhono Alexander, they occupied several cities in just two days since the invasion.

The Yellow Knight who had reached the nearby area decided to investigate the opposing force. They were battle veterans, which was natural to know the opponent's combat abilities.

Igard Charles, he is a man, heir to one of the 4 prominent Duke Families, Igard. He became the captain of the Yellow Knight who was said to be the best.

In the camp he had built, he scanned the map in search of a strategic location.

Sipping a little tea, he kept thinking.

Suddenly a loud and resolute voice came out from outside the tent.

"Izin reports!"

The sound was no stranger to Igard Charles. So he said, "Come in!"

Then a knight with predominantly yellow armor entered.

"Excuse me."

The knight approached Igard Charles.

"How's the surveillance report?" ask Igard Charles.

The knight became a little nervous.

Shortly after arriving here, Charles sent out a reconnaissance force to look at the situation of the enemy forces. The specified time had crossed the line a few hours ago.

This knight should have come to tell you about it.

"Report ...," The knight looked down in fear, "The lookout squad .. has been annihilated!"

Charles who was about to put a pawn representing one of the troops to mark the map was instantly stunned and the pawn fell.

He glanced towards the knight with shock and fury.

"Whatdidyou say? Culled?"

"Really! Since the reconnaissance forces have not returned after crossing the designated line, we sent a team to search for them. But there was no longer their existence, there were only hidden blood stains. Not even a sign of a battle has taken place."

"What!?" Charles surprised. The knight's report confirmed that the reconnaissance troops were annihilated without a fight with no signs of fighting as evidence.

Charles inevitably gritted his teeth firmly and bit his fingernails.

Cluc.

A 'knock' sound was heard when he bit his nails.

"Deliver the order to all the members of the Yellow Knights and all the available troops! We're going to battle now!"

"Good!"

The knight hurriedly replied and retreated.

In the quiet tent, Charles quietly held back the anger.

"The Celestial Empire, oh, the Celestial Empire .. You actually dare to set foot into the sacred territory of the Paliji Empire. I'll teach you to stay home!"

His eyes revealed a flash of light full of anger.

A few hours later, the troops left.

The distance of their camp with the enemy camp was not too far away. The Paliji Imperial Camp was set up in a forest not far from a city that was now a stronghold of the Celestial Empire.

So it only took less than 2 hours to get up to 20,000 soldiers.

The arrival of 20,000 warriors had certainly been realized by the forces of the Celestial Empire.

Crhono Alexander happened to be in the city. Being in the former mayor's room, he hugged his fingers at each other on the table.

He leaned his head over his hands that were hugging each other and grinning.

"The gibberish has come, yes."

Outside the city fortress, 20,000 troops lined up neatly as they exited the forest. Crhono Alexander climbed the stairs as a soldier stood firm and saluted.

"What's the situation?" ask Alexander.

"Enemy troops have appeared, the approximate number is 20,000 troops!" answer the soldier.

"20,000 men, yes. That's a lot of numbers. Looks like they're concentrating the assault, yeah. Well, at least we've got information from the enemy's reconnaissance forces."

The four Demon Generals were in another city to guard the defense. Meanwhile, Alexander had captured a portion of the reconnaissance troops and detained them for information.

With a secret method, Alexander managed to obtain information in a short period of time.

The best troops of the Paliji Empire, the Yellow Knights had come with many troops.

The troops Alexander had currently numbered only 2,000 or 3,000 or so. It was ten times lower than the other party. But no army is daunted.

Human soldiers are not so strong, but Demon warriors have a superior physique to be able to slash humans easily. This is their racial difference.

While observing the battlefield, warhorses drove from the enemy side and led the troops.

"The Paliji Empire will not let filthy creatures set foot here!"

The knight horse stopped. The armor is yellow with an elegant ornate pattern. Then he drew his sword up.

"I, Igard Charles, Captain of the Yellow Knights will finish off the trash of the Celestial Empire!"

His eyes were fearless as he looked at the row of opposing soldiers preparing to attack above the fortress.

Just then, his gaze was distracted by a silver-haired young man on top of the fortress. An inexplicable powerful charisma spread when he saw his figure.

Charles frowned.

"The guy …."

However, he recalled the report that there was a silver-haired youth who had exterminated the Black Knight.

"It turns out you!" shouted Charles.

He then pointed his sword at Alexander.

"I don't know who you are, but .. You seem to be the leader. I challenge you to a one-on-one duel with me!"

Alexander's eyes were cold, his gaze as if looking at Charles like a trivial insect. Although far away, Charles could feel it.

"Bregn*k …!" He exclaimed low while grinding his teeth.

Suddenly a resolute and charismatic voice spread to all directions.

"I, Crhono Alexander, the Commander of the Celestial Empire as well as the Prime Minister of the Celestial Empire, accept your challenge!"

Alexander's military suit fluttered as he leaped from the top of the fortress.

Bugh!

Alexander landed unscathed and approached Charles slowly. He was so relaxed that it made Charles feel bad.

'What? This young man is the commander? That's right!' Charles was shocked and in disbelief.

Alexander seemed to be carrying nothing, only one sword was visible at the waist. And again, Alexander was not wearing an armor suit, but rather a woven cloth.

Alexander was clearly aware of this and sneered in his heart.

'This suit was made by John, he was very good at making things. It's obvious that this suit is unusual.

Alexander finally stopped not far from Charles, about 10 meters away.

Charles suddenly realized something.

'I see, so so so. You're afraid of the Yellow Energy, yes.'

Yellow energy has corrosive properties to objects, especially metals.

'Looks like he knows himself too.'

Apparently, Charles assumed that Alexander was not wearing armor because he felt that the Yellow Energy would damage it and be in vain.

But, is it so?

"Then we start!"

Alexander ran forward quickly. Charles also hurriedly controlled his horse to run.

The distance of 10 meters was narrowed in an instant. Alexander immediately pulled out a sword to thrust it into the horse, while Charles tried to slash it.

With minimal movement, Alexander managed to dodge the trajectory of the opponent's sword. Instead of being disappointed that his attack missed, Charles grinned meaningfully.

"Gift Yellow Energy!"

A yellow-colored aura surged over the horse and himself. Upon entering the yellow aura area, the sword that was about to pierce the horse underwent a change.

The sword rusts quickly so that it breaks easily. Alexander raised his eyebrows seeing this.

'Interesting, ' Alexander said inwardly.

Clangs!

The clinking of metal rang out as Alexander's sword pierced through the horse's armor. Not much resistance, the sword broke and bounced away due to the power Alexander gave it.

In this position, the horse can hit it. He hurriedly kicked the horse as a foothold and jumped backwards in an athletic style.

Then, Alexander looked at the sword he was holding. The sword has rusted so that it can no longer be used.

"So the information is correct. Luckily I used a regular sword. If it uses a precious sword, it will make a loss."

Charles who failed to hit Alexander had been on the other side, then he controlled his horse to turn around to whimper.

"Hahaha, how? Your weapon will never hurt me!"

Charles laughed and mocked Alexander. But, Alexander did not ponder and stared back.

"Well, the Yellow Energy belonging to the Paliji Empire is indeed troublesome. I can't use a gun to attack you. But ... What about the explosion?"

As he spoke, Alexander opened his suit. There were some grenades hanging inside. Then he picked up one of the grenades, pulled the trigger and threw it without waiting for Charles to respond.

"What!?"

Charles was surprised, even though he did not know what Alexander was throwing at him, he could sense the threat from it. Grenades fall under the horses.

A few seconds later, Charles who was trying to shift his horse realized that there was an explosion going on downstairs.

Booms!

The blast was so powerful, the horse whimpered before it was finally scattered by the explosion and died. Luckily, Charles had jumped away from the horse.

Because of the explosion, Charles crashed quite far away. With his skills and experience over the years, he was able to hold on well.

Then, he landed with a profitable position that did not cause much loss.

"Braven, how dare you do this to me."

Charles wiped the blood that came out at the corner of his mouth. Although he had been level 400 and above, he was still limited by the human physique. No matter how, he would have sustained a fatal injury if not to die from the grenade explosion earlier.

Alexander is a High-Human. He had successfully surpassed the limits of ordinary humans.

In his heart, Charles was worried.

'What the fuck was that?! I didn't feel Magic Energy or hear him chant, you know! How could he produce such a powerful force?!'

Apparently, Alexander's attack left Charles troubled and shocked. Same with the spectators.

Alexander slightly smiled and said, "Well, it's possible to be about the size of a human."
