Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Leading the Charge – Anyone Can Be a General

This scene made all the talented contestants present feel uneasy and tense.

Victor and Jade, in particular, instinctively held their breath.

“What should we do? Could the Captain be in danger?” Cici whispered.

Her brother Jordan immediately replied, “Don’t worry. It won’t happen.”

Even though he spoke like that, a look of deep concern couldn’t hide on Jordan’s face.

Just then, Cassian chuckled softly and said:

“So this is the champion of the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament? Being treated as a coward and a deserter? Hahaha, that’s too funny. I can’t stop laughing.”

Cassian didn’t fully know what really happened in the strongest trial of the broken weapons infused with killing intent.

After all, when he faced this trial himself, he only managed to withstand the killing intent from thirty broken weapons.

But now, he was one hundred percent sure that Aiden could never pass this strongest trial.

“Let me think,” Cassian pondered to himself. “How exactly should I get the piece of the mysterious treasure map from an Aiden with a damaged soul?”

Seeing Aiden in trouble might make him feel a little satisfied.

But what truly mattered was that piece of the mysterious treasure map.

“If I can’t get that piece of the mysterious treasure map from Aiden, I wouldn’t dare face my disappointed…” Cassian’s thoughts vanished instantly. His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the blood river.

Aiden, surrounded by the seven or eight warriors, remained calm with no sign of panic. He simply turned to the general a few steps away and said calmly, “General, I didn’t retreat. So how can you call me a coward?”

The general paused for a moment, then waved his hand.

The warriors around Aiden immediately stopped their attack. The closest threat was a long blade, its cold edge hovering less than four inches from Aiden’s forehead.

However, Aiden only glanced up at the sword. He didn’t dodge, nor did he seem too worried about it.

“Not a coward? Then why are you standing still?” the general asked, frowning.

Aiden’s lips curled slightly upward. He looked seriously at the surrounding warriors, their eyes fierce and bodies covered in blood, and replied,

“I’m not standing still. I’m waiting.”

“Waiting?” The general looked confused.

Aiden took a deep breath, turned to the distant Abyss creatures, and shouted loudly:

“I’m waiting to slaughter the enemy alongside you all!”

“In this battle, I will lead the charge. If I take a single step back, you can all behead me!”

“Bro, do you want a partner who fights alongside you, or a coward running away?”

The warriors immediately turned their gaze toward the general.

The general took a deep breath and shouted, “Naturally, we want a partner! Young man, I hope you keep your word. The enemies are strong. If you dare retreat, I will kill you!”

“Prepare! Charge!”

The general, despite his heavy armor, moved incredibly fast, charging straight ahead of Aiden.

But Aiden didn’t hesitate either. He sped up, overtaking the general.

He shot to the very front, facing hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Abyss creatures head-on.

The general fell behind Aiden. Seeing Aiden’s unhesitating back, he paused for a moment, just about to say something. Suddenly, a flash of light streaked through the distant Abyss creatures.

Air was violently rubbed by the speed of the light, turning into a crimson streak that landed right in front of the general and Aiden.

Boom!

The ground shook violently. A Slaughter Demon, towering six or seven meters tall, shook its monstrous head. Without any hesitation, it chose the general as its target, placing itself between Aiden and the general.

The battle erupted instantly!

No one, neither human warriors nor creatures from the Abyss, dared to retreat.

Stab!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

A human warrior was cut in half at the waist, yet there was no fear on his face. Even without legs, with intestines and blood pouring from his wound, he refused to give up.

Clutching his long blade in his right hand, he used his left arm as support, wriggling across the ground like a worm.

“Kill!”

“If you want to invade Earth, you’ll have to step over my dead body!” The man roared, using his last bit of Strength to launch his remaining body into the air.

Then, he swung his long blade hard. A powerful wave of energy shot out toward the surrounding Abyss creatures.

Seeing he had successfully killed a defenseless Abyss creature, he burst into a huge laugh. “Another one down! What a profit!”

“Ghk… Cough… My daughter… Dad did his best.” In his final moments, a smile flashed across the warrior’s face before his breath finally stopped.

Crunch!

Without a second thought, an Abyss creature stomped its foot, crushing the warrior’s head into pulp.

“Damn it! These humans are absolutely insane!”

Before the Abyss creature could finish its sentence, a human warrior charged straight at it.

On a battlefield like this, death stalks everyone. Even if you’ve just killed an enemy, another one is already rushing forward.

You either kill the enemy or get killed by them. There is no third option.

The screams in his ears, the splashing blood, and the countless figures charging without fear—even willing to die alongside their enemies—made Aiden feel slightly dazed.

His reason told him that everything around him was fake, a product of the killing intent from those broken weapons.

Yet, his trembling hands, his uncontrollable urge to kill, and the flashbacks of the war in The White City filling his mind pulled him so deeply into the fight that he almost forgot it wasn’t real.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. Covered in blood, Aiden sat atop a pile of dead Abyss creatures, gasping for air.

His lungs burned as if he were breathing poison gas. The smell of blood seemed to seep right into his bones.

Around him, fewer than fifty warriors remained standing. Even the general had lost an arm, his face pale as a sheet.

“We won! We actually won!”

“Great! We killed all those damn invaders!” Several warriors first stared blankly at the Abyss corpses on the ground, then couldn’t help but break into low cheers.

But the next moment, as their eyes fell on the bodies of their fallen comrades, that hard-earned joy and excitement vanished instantly.

“You, young man, you amaze me with your bravery,” the general said, taking a deep, shaky breath as he stumbled toward Aiden.

His face was like white paper, yet his eyes burned with light.

“Is it over, General?” Aiden asked. Bloodshot lines ran through his eyes; he was already forgetting that this place was a simulation.

A sliver of reason kept reminding him that this was fake, but the scene around him whispered that the fight he just endured was real.

The general took another deep breath and tried to climb onto the pile of Abyss corpses, but he seemed to have no strength left. His body swayed violently.

Aiden instinctively reached out to support the general.

But the moment his hands touched the general’s body, he felt a sudden warmth.

He looked down and saw his hands were already soaked in blood.

A horrific wound, nearly piercing through the general’s body, was visible on his back.

“Thank you. Help me up.” The general finally stood on top of the corpse pile.

He glanced back at his troops, then gazed into the distance, speaking slowly, “You asked if it was over just now?”

Aiden nodded.

A bitter smile appeared on the general’s lips. “Don’t you remember? This mission only ends when every last one of us is dead.”

The moment Aiden heard this, his pupils shrank. He couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean?”

“If I die in battle, you become the general. If you die, the surviving warriors become the general,” the general said, taking a deep breath.

He couldn’t hold himself up anymore. He collapsed onto the pile of Abyss bodies, gasping for air. His lips trembled, and his whole body shook uncontrollably.

“This is a suicide mission! Don’t you remember? Before we set out, we all wrote our last wills.”

“Not a single human warrior will survive this battle.”

“We knew the final outcome from the very beginning.”

“Better to die than retreat.”

The general’s eyes began to turn gray. With fading strength, he looked at Aiden, a spark of regret in his eyes, and spoke slowly:

“I haven’t killed enough!”

“Not nearly enough!”

“Cough… Don’t retreat. Don’t step back, even in death. Fight! Kill as many as you can. If we die, future humans can live safely!”

“Don’t be like me. I haven’t killed enough!”

The general’s breathing suddenly stopped, yet his eyes remained wide open, filled with regret and self-blame.

Aiden stared, momentarily frozen. He truly couldn’t tell if this was real or fake.

Or maybe he could tell, but didn’t want to believe it.

“General! The enemy is back!” a warrior suddenly shouted loudly.

Aiden quickly looked up at the fallen general and said, “The general is dead.”

The other warriors turned their gaze to Aiden. “You are the General now!”

“General, calling for reinforcements will take a while, and the enemy will be here soon. Please give your orders!”

Reinforcements?

Aiden turned to look at the warriors around him. “We have reinforcements?”

The warriors fell silent for a moment, then said slowly, “Yes, but they are just a group of children who just awakened.”

“There are also many old men and women who volunteered to fight.”

Aiden’s breathing nearly stopped. He whipped his head around to look at the enemies charging forward. A fire, impossible to describe, burned fiercely in his heart.
