Chapter 31
This fight was an odd one. The combined army all had F grade armor, but only the blue-furs and a select few others (such as Jay and Geralt) had good armor. Meanwhile, the enemies had F grade armor but only the dark blue ones had graded weapons.
This discrepancy caused the Iceborne army to fight on the defensive and the combined army fighting offensively, neither getting the advantage.
At this point the Iceborne who were still in formation actually caused their troops to be at a disadvantage. In this battle which had partly turned into a brawl, the remaining formation was unable to help much. Whenever the formation would advance on some of the combined troops the troops would just run away. In actuality, all this formation did was keeping some of their troops out of the actual battle.
Thus, in the actual battlefield, the combined troops ended up outnumbering the Iceborne army. Satisfied with this observation, Jay headed to one of the squadron leaders. Geralt would take on the one in the middle while he was to fight with the one on the right.
After a minute of searching, he spotted the squad leader. It was a 2.2-meter tall Iceborne with dark blue fur. He had a soft-looking face with a scar on his neck. The Iceborne had a steel sword which seemed to be F+ grade. Furthermore, the armor he was wearing was different than those of the blue-furs in his camp. It also seemed to be made from the scaled of a secreature but these scales were part-red and part-black. It would seem it was an E or E+ grade item.
After seeing the squad leader was about to join the fight, Jay went to stand in front of him. He had the blood scimitar in his one hand and an icy pike floating
The enemy squad leader looked at him for a bit, once he noticed the icy pike he suddenly became enraged. It seemed this race really didn't like magic. When he shot the pike at the squad leader it didn't manage to penetrate the armor, even if it did manage to dent it quite heavily it didn't have enough power to take out this squad leader.
This didn't worry him too much. He had a C+ grade scimitar with Sharpen 3 on it. Even if the enemy wore D+ grade armor his sword would slice through it easily.
The problem that he had was that his evasive maneuvers were heavily limited due to his wounds. If it wasn't for that he wouldn't be too worried about this fight.
When they were about 2 meters apart they started slowly circling around each other. The squad leader had cooled off instantly when he felt something strange was going on with his opponent's sword.
The battle around them raged on, the ice below them had turned extremely slippy, this was caused by the blood which slowly but surely colored the battlefield red. The situation started becoming clearer and clearer.
The other squad leader was being heavily suppressed by Geralt, whose spear had already poked him several times. The main battlefield was also in their favor, the combined army had killed a bunch of the Iceborne army's soldiers. Donning their armor after victory.
Even though the Iceborne army had now given up on the formation, it was already too late. Many of the combined army's men were now wearing graded armor, with the 20 blue-furs being especially effective.
Thanks to this, Jay didn't even have to fight this enemy of his. The blue-furs had spotted him and his enemy and teamed up with him, attacking the squad leader from the back.
Even if the blue-furs didn't manage to pierce the armor, they had distracted him sufficiently to distract him. This allowed Jay to slash open his neck in a single strike, it might not have been an honorable battle, but it was a battle they had won.
Soon, Geralt had also finished off his enemy, leaving the enemies no chance of victory. Even though the final group of enemies had now arrived they would soon also be defeated.
It was now that Jay decided to look back at the hill where the trebuchet was standing, he was worried that when they won, they would get a lot of fatalities because of it.

Luckily, it seemed the group of blue-furs he had sent there had finished their mission successfully, the trebuchet had been destroyed.
But when he looked more closely, he immediately became worried, the 10 blue-furs were engaging the red Iceborne. Yet, there wasn't a fight but a slaughter instead. Even though Jay couldn't see it very clearly, it seemed that the blue-furs would soon all have been killed.
Jay quickly called for Geralt. Since the enemies saw the situation was hopeless, they started surrendering by the heaps. Meanwhile, Jay and Geralt speedily headed for the hill 200 meters away.
"Useless trash"
The Red commander looked at the battlefield seeing how nearly all his troops had been defeated. He wasn't only made at his troops but also at himself, he let some enemy troops destroy their trebuchet while he was observing the battlefield.
The man scoffed when he saw 2 figures heading towards him.
"I guess if I kill their Lord the mission should be considered successful."
He spoke slowly and arrogantly. His armor was completely made out of bright yet scales, giving off a brilliant feeling. His fur was dripping with the blood of the enemies he had just killed earlier. And he gave off the aura of a first-tier expert.
He slowly lowered his body before jumping forward, heading straight towards Jay and Geralt.
