Lucen was rather surprised that the enemy force was not a simple one. They had mages at the fourth circle and aura users at the fourth mantle.
Despite all that, they had won rather easily. Defeating these people was not a problem for the current Lucen, but defeating them without killing them was another thing.
Both Alexander and Cael had improved greatly in just a few weeks of being taught by the two Martial Deities.
Lucen surveyed the battlefield. Injured soldiers were scattered throughout the forest, some unconscious while others groaned and clutched their wounds. Broken shields, shattered weapons, and fragments of armor littered the ground between them.
Despite the violence of the battle, Lucen could not see a single corpse.
That had required far more concentration than simply killing them. He had used rubber rounds against less-protected targets and real bullets whenever rubber could not penetrate an aura user's defenses.
