"No! We can't!" Vincent immediately answered even without knowing the full situation.

This small town doesn't have many strong individuals. Although there were many Mana Practitioners, they weren't at the level of a Magic Knight or Master Magicians.

He learned about this after walking around this morning and noticing their mana fluctuations. After seeing a lot of Master Magicians and Magic Knights over the past month, he's already quite familiar with their mana fluctuations and soul signature thanks to his Soul Sense as a 3-Star Aura Knight.

If they truly decided to leave, this town would be in dire straits.

"Tsk…" Lady Yulia didn't immediately reject the idea. However, she knows that this town should be under the protection of the Jung Clan although it's on the edge of their territory.

They should have some capable Mana Arts Practitioners around.

"There are only a few of us who can fight here… I'm suspecting that it's the rebel army making their move…" Yulia said as she walked outside with everyone.

The other elders and abled clansmen were already wearing their combat attire and getting ready for battle. They immediately greeted Lady Yulia after seeing her walk outside.

"Lady Yulia! It's the rebel army! They have come here and attracted thousands of Savage Beasts! We should escape now!"

One of the clansmen in the vicinity immediately reported what he saw.

"Savage Beasts? They cause an outbreak?!" Romain who was still calm couldn't help but tremble after hearing the news.

"What? They can control the Savage Beasts now?" Vincent asked with furrowed brows. This is the first time he heard that they were capable of doing that.

Furthermore, he can't let this small town be destroyed. Although he hasn't stayed here for long, this peaceful town had many talents that he even entrusted his Mithril Ore to one.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Suddenly, they saw a group of guards marching towards the eastern gate of the town where the savage beasts and the rebel army are.

Then, their leader announced the situation to everyone.

"We are under attack! But an Adept Mage of the Jung Clan is hurrying over to rescue our town! We just need to defend until he arrives!"

This announcement was repeated several times as the morale of the guards rose.

"Good! Rem! Let's go and help!"

"Should I call Tara?"

"It's fine… She should be coming after sensing what's going on."

Vincent said as they hurried to the gate.

"Ahh… Wait…"

Lesley wanted to say something but Vincent already left in haste.

"You can speak to him again after this is over. Alright, we can't let everyone go and help in the defense. Someone must stay with the injured." Yulia said after noticing Lesley's actions.

? "You stay here, Lady Yulia. I will bring a group of magic knights with me. Lesley, you stay here as well, you still need to rest." Romain said but Lesley refused. She knows her body really well and she's aware that she's already capable of joining the battle.

Though her mana hasn't fully recovered yet, it wasn't to the point that she can't fight. In any case, she would only stay back and use her long-range Mana Arts to assist the knights.

"I can still fight! Uncle is injured, we can't let anyone disturb his rest!" Lesley said as she still felt guilty after her Uncle, the Adept Mage protecting her, lost an arm because of how weak she was.

"Fine! Romain, make sure nothing will happen to Lesley." Lady Yulia said after thinking about it.

"Ugh… Whatever… Let's go!"

As their group left, Lady Yulia can only sigh as she massage her temple as her headache seems to be coming back again. This is because of her Darkness Mystic Eyes, a Tier 4 Body Transformation Arts.

It would take a while before she can recover and use the power of her eyes again.

This is a skill normally used against a single opponent after all. However, with the situation she was previously in, she forcefully restrained several huge barbarians at the same time. Those barbarians possessed incredible physical strength that rivals even the strongest Arch Knights. Because of that, she had to suffer a backlash and recuperate for a few weeks.

Right now, she can only hope that the number of Savage Beasts lured to this town wouldn't have many flying beasts that could ignore their front line's defenses.

'Right… There are those two Celestial Beings as well.' Yulia then recalled Tara and Rem. They have remained silent all this time and their identity was still a mystery.

However, she can tell that they have somehow befriended Vincent so she can only hope that they would consider assisting in case of emergency despite the unwritten rule.

"Why are there so many?" Vincent was shocked as soon as he saw the beast horde outside.

In addition, the beasts weren't running excitedly to the village as they slowly moved forward as if they were some disciplined soldiers.

"How is this possible?!"

"What should we do? We can't defeat these many! I don't think that even the city can fight against them. We should escape now!"

"No! We can do this! This town is being protected by a Magic Artifact! We only need to hold on!"

"That's right! I'm sure that as long as we delay them, reinforcements would come to rescue us!"

"T-this is crazy! We're going to die first at this rate!"

The townspeople, adventurers, and guards outside have differing opinions as soon as they saw the scale of this attack.

The sound of their march and the roars of the beasts could scare even the veteran hunters.

This is already an army enough to give trouble for a huge city. What could a small and peaceful town like them do to fight against this?

The strongest Mana Arts Practitioners that they have here were only a handful of Magic Knights and a couple of old Master Magicians.

Ten more minutes had passed as the beasts and the hundreds of rebels controlling them surrounded the town.

Surprisingly, they didn't immediately order an attack as a couple of Magic Knights from their side moved forward to declare their intention.

A man wearing luxurious clothes unlike the other rebels came forward riding a majestic red horse. He seemed to be a nobleman with his slicked back haircut.

"What are they planning this time?" A leader of the town guards frowned at the sight as he stood tall in front of his fellow townspeople.

Although he knows that he would probably die once the fight starts, he needs to stand strong as he can't simply allow them to beasts to attack since his family is in the town.

"Everyone in the Alma Town! Listen to me! I am Porthos one of the Generals of the Revolutionary Army! We aren't targeting your town as we are honorable knights unlike the royal family who are hiding under the safety of the castle even if the Barbarians are invading us right now."

The man paused for a moment as he wanted to ensure that they could absorb everything that he was about to say.

He then continued after noticing that there was no reaction from the town's side. This is a good thing since it showed that it didn't matter to them even if they slandered the king.

"We are only here to resupply so we can continue our march to the Ankle City! Duke France will soon be the ruler of this kingdom so I suggest that you don't enrage him."

The man said proudly as if it was already guaranteed that the Grand Knight will truly assume the position of the king.

Nevertheless, his words were like a saving grace for many of the townspeople. After all, in this backwater town, they have barely felt the presence of the nobility much less the royal family.

The only time that they could remember the nobles was when they were collecting taxes. It really didn't matter to them who would win the war.

In the meantime, Vincent could help but be impressed by this tactic. Since the royal family is indeed barely doing anything to protect the kingdom and allowed the rebel army to gather their forces, the citizens must have resentment in their hearts.

If the rebels used this kind of logic to convince them, they could certainly safely pass through various places without exhausting their beasts and their energy.

As expected, the town chief immediately agreed and gathered 20 wagons worth of supplies for the rebel army. Porthos couldn't help but laugh in delight after seeing how smooth this was.

Romain and the others can only accept this outcome as they were clearly aware of what could happen if they fought in their current situation. Even if many of their clansmen died because of them, they aren't in a position to fight right now.

However, it wasn't easy.

"That's right! We are also looking for the evil Zemin Clan! A reward will be given if you can help us eliminate them!" Porthos said although he wasn't hoping that much to find them here.

Anyway, he only mentioned this after someone in the higher-ups appears to have been humiliated by the people of the Zemin Clan.

Nevertheless, he noticed a weird reaction in the crowd after noticing this… He trembled with excitement after realizing what was going on.

His eyes lit up as he looked in the direction where they are looking at!

"Found them!"

A wicked smile appeared on his face as he brought his men to storm the inn where they are probably hiding right now.
