"Is it fine to leave General Yves and his soldiers to fight against the Rebel Army?" Vincent asked as soon as they managed to get away from the battlefield.

Seeing that they are no longer being pursued, they finally have the time to take a breather and relax for a bit.

"They should be fine. As a matter of fact, he wanted us to get away as well." Severin replied.

"Huh? They don't need our help? I guess they really are proud soldiers, huh." Vincent commented as he looked behind him.

He can still see the smoke and dust brought by elemental attacks from two sides. In his opinion, the battle between the two forces would end up in the General's favor but the Rebel Army could certainly escape if they wanted to.

Although the Rebel Army lacks strong individuals that could affect the whole battlefield like General Yves, they are still fighting with good battle formation and tactics. They certainly know very well how to utilize their limited Master Magicians and Magic Knights.

"Well, he wouldn't be called the Hailstorm General if he can only use the weak blizzard Mana Art, right?"

"Do you mean that he has a stronger Mana Art? Is it a Tier 5?"

"I'm not sure… However, there was a rumor that he obtained a Magic Artifact that could cast a destructive Mana Art. It was said that he got it from a Celestial Being. There was even a dark rumor that a corpse of a Celestial was used to create such a strong Magic Artifact."

"What?! Isn't that crazy?!"

"It's crazy, of course. That's why no one is believing that kind of rumor. He just probably obtained that thing in a dungeon. Let's just think that he hit the jackpot inside one. It's not like there weren't antecedents on this."

Severin said with a smile.

Anyway, the dungeons around the world are indeed mysterious and could contain anything. From Mana Cultivations, medicines, advanced craft blueprints, and even Celestial Beings could be inside resting in their chamber.

If that's the case, no one would suspect General Yves if he mentioned that it came from a dungeon.

'I wonder how will they defeat all those rebels…' Vincent mused for a moment but he soon focused on their road ahead.

They can't be too complacent as the enemies might have set up a trap.

"How long before we can arrive at the Fourth Camp?" Vincent asked.

"It should be about half an hour… This will be quick since we will be using a route that the scouts or messengers only have access to."

Vincent nodded as he realized that they indeed went on a mountain path where carriages or chariots wouldn't be able to pass.

This might even be the path that the Rebel Army used to ambush them!

Nevertheless, this is indeed a good option since they are truly in a hurry. They weren't sure how long could the army in the frontline last against the massive Barbarian Invasion after all.

Even with supplies of new weapons and potions to cure the poison, it would be difficult for them especially if the Rebel Army had assisted in this battle.

That's right. This is what they were worried about. The Barbarians may be hard to deal with but the two Vice Generals and the elites of the large clans can kill them all unless the Barbarian Kings made their move.

However, if the Rebel Army contributed to this invasion and the two Vice Generals were unaware of it, they might be caught in a trap set up by the rebels.

***

On top of a green hill, Lesley looked at the previously fortified Fourth Camp that had turned into ruins.

That place was filled with defensive Magic Tools that even if they were bombarded by catapults for half a day, they wouldn't budge at all. Although it would probably consume tens of thousands of Mana Crystals in order to do that, they wouldn't mind doing it if they are really in a tough spot.

This is the reason why she was confident that they could last until the reinforcement arrives even if they can't defeat the enemies.

Of course, this is also why General Yves remained in the Blue Storm Army Castle unless there is an emergency.

However, the two Vice Generals of the Blue Storm Army were too confident with their skills and brought doom to their stronghold. After a couple of spies created chaos within the camp, the Vice Generals foolishly left their posts to chase the enemies.

Apparently, they were led outside after seeing a few Barbarians who have several precious Grimoires!

It was then followed by an ambush from the Rebel Army!

They weren't killed right away as the rebels used this opportunity to return to the stronghold dressed like part of the Blue Storm Army and destroy their defensive formations from the inside!

It was a disaster. Even though her clansmen together with the young elites of the Jung Clan managed to stop the Barbarians who targeted their camp, they still failed to protect their stronghold thanks to the mistakes of the two Vice Generals.

'No… This is an elaborate plan made by the rebel army. They have studied the chain of commands even the temper of the two vice generals and created this perfect plan to destroy the stronghold. We aren't just fighting the Barbarians, we're dealing with the joint forces of the Barbarians and Grand Knight France's army… The Kingdom must know this… They must send the message back to the headquarters.'

Lesley gritted her teeth as she glanced at her subordinates…

As soon as the stronghold's defensive formation fell, each group fled on different paths.

The small sects decided to scatter into small units, the young elites of the Jung Clan went to the mountain range, the soldiers of the Blue Storm Army retreated slowly to the third camp, and the Arms City's Knights did the same on a different path.

On the other hand, Lesley brought her clansmen to a hill and stood their ground.

Since the Barbarians and the rebels scattered as well after chasing the other groups, Lesley felt confident to fight them as long as they are in an advantageous position.

So after they retreated, she found a good spot to wait for the reinforcements.

'I'm sure Lady Yulia and the others are about to come… We also have two Arch Knights on our side… We can do this.'

Lesley confidently analyzed the situation at hand.

Although some of her clansmen perished, they still have over 20 people on their side and only five were injured and can't fight in the upcoming battle.

This situation is still considered good since eight of them are Master Magicians with two or more elemental mastery.

However, Lesley failed to realize that these rebels were so desperate to kill them!

"This is bad, Miss Lesley! Joran has been watching us!" One of her subordinates reported with a trace of fear in his voice.

"What?! Why would he be here?! We don't have Celestial Beings among us…" Lesley frowned at the sudden report. That person is a madman that has been causing headaches to many large clans supporting the Royal Family.

"That's true… I also believe that the three cloaked individuals behind him are his Celestial Beings."

There are already a dozen of Barbarians and five squads of rebels surrounding them. If the infamous Joran adds up, it would be the end for them!

Joran may not be planning on attacking them yet but his presence here is uncalled for unless he's planning on making a move. Perhaps, even if he won't use the powers of his Celestial Beings, they would be in a precarious situation if he decided to join the fight as an Adept Mage.

"Isn't he supposed to be in the Celestial Mountain? Ugh… Ignore him for now… Focus on killing the Barbarians as quickly as possible. The two Arch Knight of our clan will lead the defense!"

Lesley can only deal with the problems one at a time.

"Everyone! No more holding back! We need to kill them as swiftly as possible. Saving your mana is no longer an option!"

Lesley shouted.

Most of the Master Magicians, including her, were only using a single Element all this time not just because they wanted to save the best for last but to also preserve their mana usage.

However, now that they are on their last stand, saving mana would be useless.

"Fire Element!" Lesley gave her command as all the Master Magicians started to converge their Fire Type Mana Arts.

As the elites of the Zemin Clan, it's not surprising that all of them had mastery of the most destructive element.

Soon, several Mana Arts were formed as the Barbarians and the rebels got closer.

"Now!"

As soon as she gave the command, every Master Magician released their abilities. There were Fireballs and Incendiary Grenades thrown at the enemies.

On the other hand, Lesley used a Mana Arts Fusion of Earth and Fire element called Blazing Meteor.

Well, it sounds so fancy but they are just three burning rocks, the size of an adult's head, that are thrown toward the enemies.

"Earth Wall…"

A deep voice of man reverberated as the rebels that were about to be decimated suddenly found a wall made of earth protecting them from the bombardment of Lesley's group!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Hmph! As expected of the genius from Zemin Clan. A Mana Arts Fusion at the age of 15… Incredible…"

"Y-you!" Lesley sucked a cold air as she realized the owner of this voice.
