The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 221 Bell: Liang Yue, I challenge you!
For example, Welf in the original work was a weapons blacksmith.

In the original story, he managed to get a hit and assist in the battle to kill the floor master, thus overcoming his inner demons, which can be considered a great achievement.

Great achievement: Even viewed from the perspective of the gods, it would be considered a great accomplishment.

In summary: assisting in the attack, eliminating valuable targets, breaking through personal limits, creating great inventions, etc.

On the Hestia Familia's side, Liang Yue is Lv5 with A-rank in all abilities. Ais and Ryu are both Lv6.
at the same time:

The Freya Familia has 157 adventurer members, and if non-combatants and 'believers' are included, the number exceeds 5,000.

Of course, the only participants in this battle were adventurers, but with Bell included, the number became 158.

The Hestia faction alliance consists of 52 gods, including Hestia herself, and a total of 786 adventurers with her retinue.

Of course, although there were many of these adventurers, most of them were just there to make up the numbers.

Because of the renowned reputation of Sword Saint Liang Yue, many people hoped to impress him and gain access to his swordsmanship.

The entire Orario community is now buzzing with the rumor that Liang Yue's achievements are all thanks to his obtaining the Mythical Sword Manual from the Age of Myth.

As for the name of this swordsman and the name of his swordsmanship, no one knows.

Otherwise, how can we explain that Liang Yue clearly looks like an ordinary human being, at most handsome?

But his talent is so exaggerated?

So there's only one possibility left? That is, Liang Yue got incredibly lucky and fell off a cliff into a cave, where she obtained an ancient secret manual.

Furthermore, by comprehending its contents, one can obtain the inheritance of ancient gods or legendary heroes.

It should be noted that in the age of heroes, even without the blessings of the gods, there were still some people who possessed power and lifespan comparable to the gods.

Liang Yue stood in the commander's tent and looked outside. Within his field of vision, he saw dark, heavy clouds.

On the distant, desolate land, small mountain peaks rise abruptly from the opposite bank of the river.

At the very back of the mountain stood a somewhat desolate palace.

Liang Yue strained his eyes to see into the distance, but due to some kind of magical restriction, his gaze could not penetrate the mist that stretched in front of him.

However, he knew that Freya would most likely ascend to the throne and await their arrival for a final battle between kings.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue looked at Lily and said, "Lily, we need to be prepared to deal with Freya gathering all her forces and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out."

Lily nodded. She had indeed learned a lot from Finn during this time.

For example, tactical arrangements, methods to boost morale, and various kinds of experience.

The best tactical arrangement is to thoroughly understand each person's personality, logic, and abilities, and to give full play to their initiative.

……

Freya's Familia Camp

Freya sat upright on the top floor of the dilapidated palace, her figure exposed openly within the ruined structure.

Beneath her were her loyal followers, while ahead lay the approaching faction alliance legion.

Ota knelt down in front of Freya and handed her a bouquet of flowers.

"The flowers have been delivered, sir. Please do not wear them on your chest."

Freya took the bouquet of purple flowers and examined their patterns as if admiring a beautiful work of art.

"How ironic, Ota, you've won this game!"

"Yes!"

"This is the only way to completely get Liang Yue."

Freya was gambling that Liang Yue could never grow strong enough to defeat Freya's Familia.

Even Liang Yue could not possibly reach Lv7 from Lv4 in just six days.

Near the royal palace in the ruins of Osa, Hedin stood atop a mountain not far away.

This position allows for observation of distant enemies and also provides a strategic advantage with the royal palace. His magic can be used to protect any location within his line of sight.

More than a hundred relatives and family members had already taken their positions far away from Hedin.

The regular-class dependents were all equipped with standard armor and weapons, while the core executives stood on a slightly higher boulder.

Ota, Allen, Hegni, Haci, and the four warriors of Flame Gold.

None of Freya's family members felt fear, even though they were fighting against the entire Orario.

Even if they were to face fifty-two gods and all their retinues.

Charge forward without hesitation and crush all enemies!
At this point, Bell had reached Lv4. "Mr. Liang Yue, are we still destined to end up fighting each other?"

In this final showdown, he had no choice but to make a decision. If given the chance, he would personally confront Liang Yue.

He wants to become a hero and protect his goddess from enemies in the face of numerous factions and alliances.

The deafening sound of gongs and drums echoed across the entire battlefield, marking the start of the war game.

Liang Yue will travel from the island where the camp is located to the mainland on the other side via a twisted stone bridge.

On the other side of the mainland, at the end of the stone bridge, stands a towering stone wall over fifty meters high.

…………

Within the city of Orario.

The townspeople, adventurers who weren't participating in the war game, guild members, and others were all watching the war game unfold.

Moreover, because of this war game.

Taverns, cafes, guild halls, the central square, the Ganesha Colosseum, and other entertainment venues are now packed with people.

While watching this war game, some adventurers showed expressions of grief, indignation, and regret.

Inside the tavern, some adventurers wore masks of pain.

"If I had known this war game would attract so much attention, I would have participated."

"What's the use of regretting it now! The reason I didn't participate is simply because I'm not strong enough and I was afraid of being killed by the aftermath."

"I feel that as long as I can survive this war game, I will be able to achieve the great feat of advancing from Lv1 to Lv2."

"I think even the feat of advancing from Lv3 to Lv4, or even from Lv4 to Lv5, is within my reach!"

"Yes, after all, this is Orario's largest war game."

The fact that the townspeople of Orario could enjoy a war game of this scale alongside the gods is a source of immense pride and happiness.

…………

Inside the ruins of Osa City, Bel, cloaked, left Freya's Familia alone.

Blue and white light began to gather on his right fist, accompanied by a continuous booming noise.

Hedin completely ignored Bell's attempt to break away.

Bell's power is capable of miraculous victories against overwhelming odds; since he wants to try it, let him try.

……

Faction Alliance Camp
Lily stood inside a ruin, with a map and a large number of communication magic stones in front of her.

With twenty magic stones in her hand, Lily faced immense pressure trying to process the information within them simultaneously.

Chigusa Hitachi stayed by Lily's side to protect the Commander's safety.

A series of messages were sent from these communication magic stones, and Lily's expression turned serious.

Yes, it seems the other side is determined to confront them head-on.

"Liang Yue's guess was accurate, was it really true?"

Because Hitachi Chigusa's adventurer level is only Lv2, she can only serve as a lookout and messenger at most. Lily maintained her breathing rhythm, trying her best to remain calm. "Next, all scouts, please make the primary objective of locating enemy forces and the goddess Freya."

As for the main force, it was all concentrated and steadily approached the enemy palace.

Although Lily's side has a large number of people, they are very few in terms of high-end combat power.

It could even be said that apart from the Hestia Familia, there are no adventurers above level 5.

In other words, 70% to 90% of the entire faction alliance are scouts, or to put it bluntly, cannon fodder!
"If any of you scouts encounter Hegni, please inform me immediately and do everything you can to defeat him."

According to Liang Yue's intelligence, the best way to deal with Hegni is to use a large number of cannon fodder to deplete the opponent's magic power and physical strength.

"Report: Belkrani has come to our main force and challenged Liang Yue to a one-on-one duel."

Lily was shocked; she never imagined that even now, someone could still be so naive.

She immediately connected to Liang Yue's communication magic stone, "Liang Yue, what do you think?"

"I'm ready to take on this one-on-one challenge."

"what?"

……

The central part of the Osa City Ruins, where Liang Yue and other main forces are located.

Bell almost bypassed all the scouts and came to Liang Yue and the others.

A continuous booming noise emanated from within his cloak, and Bell drew a dagger with his left hand, pointing it at Liang Yue.

"Liang Yue, I challenge you. Please do not advance any further."

Ais and Liu stood in front of Liang Yue, while Liang Yue walked around the two women and stepped out.

"You've been building up your strength for so long, just to wear me down a bit, Belkrani?"

Liang Yue slowly took out the arrogant eight-sided Han sword and the lazy samurai sword.

"Then without further ado, let's begin the fight."

Bell was filled with apology. "Please be careful, this will be my strongest attack. I have been preparing for this attack for a long time."

Liang Yue nodded, "I know!"

Bell's right hand emerged from his cloak, shimmering with blue and white light as he infused his magic into the black, growable dagger, Freya's Blade.

"Magic Lightning!"

The power of fire and lightning coiled around his dagger, and then the light from his right fist coiled around the blade of the dagger.

The entire blade transformed into a gleaming white longsword, with lightning and flames extending from it, significantly enhancing the dagger's attack range.

Meanwhile, a series of streams of light shimmered around Liang Yue. He then channeled the power of his Thunderflame Qi Sea into the blade.

"The Sacred Flame Heroes Slay!"

"Phantom Sword Dance!"

Without any unnecessary movements, Liang Yue directly channeled all the power of the Phantom Sword Dance into a single strike, then slashed it towards Bell.

Bell also unleashed a dazzling white slash, with both sides condensing their attacks into their blades.

Then they erupt simultaneously at the closest distance.

"boom!"

Huge cracks appeared in the earth, and dark smoke rose high into the sky. A violent roar and shockwave spread outwards.

Bell's feet created huge trenches in the ground as he was forced back dozens of meters, his body bursting with dozens of sword-like blades.

The figure, already knocked away, was struck a second time by the shockwave that followed its mouth, causing it to explode with a large amount of blood mist and fly into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Liang Yue leaned closer and touched the other person's neck.

"Fortunately, I'm still breathing."

His gaze drifted to the sky. "Can we just disqualify Bell? I need to give him treatment."

After about ten seconds of silence, Ganesha's voice came from the sky. "No problem, I am Ganesha, Bell is out!"

Liang Yue fed Bell a bottle of healing medicine, saying, "I am optimistic about your growth potential, but you can never catch up with me."

And you absolutely cannot defeat me, because I will never give you that chance!

If we were a clan, perhaps we would become friends.

Liang Yue laid Bell down and treated his wounds.

As for having Ryu cast healing magic on Bell? Forget it. It would consume too much of Ryu's magic power.

Liu ignored Bell lying on the ground; her eyes were only on Liang Yue.

She felt nothing but hatred for Belle.

Although it was a one-on-one fight by Bell, Bell was just an unknown soldier in Freya's Familia, while Liang Yue was the commander and leader of the faction alliance.

The two sides were not equal in status from the very beginning.

"Liang Yue, are you alright?"

Liang Yue waved her hand, then began to replenish her magic and stamina with potions.

"It was just a one-hit spar, not much of a drain on my energy."

In that recent exchange, Liang Yue didn't hold back at all. She used almost every possible technique.

He knew Bell's abilities; no matter how great the adversity, Bell always had the potential to turn the tide.

This is Bell's skill—Hero's Wish, or the Hero's Strike. It allows him to charge up for a long time and unleash tremendous power.

Bell lay on the ground, his injuries too severe despite having taken healing potions.

His gaze drifted further and further away from Liang Yue, and his eyes welled up with tears.

The skill gap between him and his idol is still incredibly large; he can never defeat them in a single move.

…………

Lily's command camp
"Enemy location detected, Commander."

Lily's eyes lit up. "Then where is it located?"

"To the west, at the westernmost part of the island. It looks like all of their forces are concentrated here!"

Lily's back was soaked with cold sweat; this was the worst-case scenario Liang Yue had described.

This is also the most challenging lineup arrangement; against such an arrangement, no tactics will be effective.

Lily asked again, "Then where is the goddess Freya located?"

The scout continued to respond, "Goddess Freya is on the top floor of the temple, or rather, the palace."

Because part of the building was damaged, we could all see the goddess in her entirety.

Chun Aisha and the others also shared the information with Lily through the communication magic stone.

"It's the same on my side. Freya has no intention of hiding at all. Of course, the opposing team's lineup doesn't need to hide either."

The four Flame Gold Warriors, the Goddess Chariot, the Black Elf Magic Sword, the White Elf Magic Wand, and Ota—all the main forces are here.

Without a doubt, this is the greatest advantage of the Freya Familia today.

The faction alliance is left with almost only one option: a full-scale offensive!
The other option is to stay put and wait for the opponent to attack, just like they do!

how to choose?
