…
Outside of Main Arjing City near the borders around 10 kilometers away from the city, a large number of soldiers thinly spread while standing behind an earthen wall while many of them are outside fighting against an almost unending number of beasts.
Atop a makeshift tower, a young man is standing valiantly while looking at the horizon.
"Prince Gulliver, should we retreat? The number of those beasts is coming… We could not hold on anymore. Those Arch Magus from the mage towers in the city did not even reply to our plea for help. They give an excuse that these things are just pesky little bugs…" a servant beside the young man said while his expression is seething in anger.
The young man did not say anything and just look at the horizon with his lazy eyes.
No one knew what he is thinking, but the name of this 12th prince has already been spread throughout the kingdom. There is even a legend on his name.
It is said that in the direst straight and need of the kingdom, he would appear and offer his help even with his life on the line. And right now, this is what many of the soldiers in this front line are holding into. Each of them is hoping that the 12th prince would show them some miracle.
While everyone is pinning their hope in him, the 12th prince is in fact out of any ideas. He is standing in his spot right now and not moving because he is in deep thought. He is trying to think of a way on how to defeat these parasites.
The beast themselves are not a problem, as they are easily killed. However, those parasite plants rooted on their back or on their heads are very resilient.
They would shoot those saps which would cause the part of the body of the soldiers to turn into embers. And this in turn makes it hard for the soldiers to fight. The worst thing is when a soldier is hit on his head, if not helped immediately they would surely die due to suffocation.
And so the battle in the front lines is very dangerous and there are already many casualties.
When he arrived in the city, he stayed in a nice hotel for just a few hours before accidentally hearing this grave news.
To keep the people from panicking, this news is only known to some soldiers. But he accidentally heard it while strolling in the market area.
"How do I deal with those parasites?…" he thought deeply.
Suddenly, a commotion broke through the soldier's ranks as a few of them began crying in pain. He used a spell to sharpen his eyesight in the darkness and look at the situation.
When his sight landed on the commotion, his expression turned grave.
"This is what I have feared… The parasites have infected the soldiers already… Damn!" he hit the guard rail of the tower.
"Send my command, everyone retreat behind the earthen walls! I repeat! Retreat behind the earthen walls! Mages, use fireball to incinerate those beasts!" shouted Gulliver.
The chaotic battle ensues as many of the soldiers began retreating while those who are caught were either devoured or turned.
When the soldiers were able to retreat successfully, the mages up on the walls immediately began casting an area of effect fire spells.
Boom!!! Boom!!!
A loud explosion echoed in the air as the ground was blanketed with fire.
Shrieking sounds could be heard as the fire began burning the suicidal charging beasts. Those sounds are coming from the parasite plants on their bodies.
When the soldiers saw that this tactic is effective everyone cheered as the beasts began falling to their death after the parasite plants were incinerated from their bodies.
Meanwhile, a smile could be seen on Gulliver's handsome face and his lazy eyes sweep across the cheering soldiers.
"This is good. Yet another day is saved thanks to me… Hehe…" he said with a proud smile.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Suddenly, no one knew what happened next, but the ground began shaking. Their eyes landed on the forest beyond the horizon and saw the trees shaking and the birds flying away from being disturbed.
An ominous feeling immediately blanketed every one of the soldiers as they look at the forest in horror.
…
Meanwhile, inside the personnel carrier of Shin Jiao's group, the mage is sitting cross-legged on the cold steel floor while focusing his mind on absorbing the mana in his surroundings. As a common practice and a habit for the mages in Shin Jiao's group, they would always cultivate their mana whenever they are not doing anything.
They are always busy with a lot of things to do on the ship. So they are taught how to absorb mana while they are doing something, and this became a habit for them.
While in the act of absorbing more mana and continuously balancing the rotation of mana in his body, the mage suddenly opens his eyes.
He looks at the console and saw the blinking lights.
He quickly stands up and ran towards the console of the ship.
"This is Mage Mallek…" he answered.
'Mallek, I want you to fly up and stealthily scout what is happening, then report back ASAP.' The voice of Shin Jiao from the other line commanded.
When the one named Mallek heard Shin Jiao's command, he quickly sits on the pilot seat of the craft and then started its engine. It did not take long before he was able to hover from the ground as the ship slowly blended into its surroundings.
From above he began to scan and suddenly saw something on the horizon.
"Master Shin… there is trouble ahead… Two… no make that three large beasts around 20 to 40 meters in height are approaching a line filled with soldiers. The soldiers themselves are embroiled in a battle on all fronts, it seems like there is beast tide heading to the city…" he reported.
'Hmm… Scan the whole area using mana fluctuation detector and tell me what is happening.' Shin Jiao said after thinking for a while.
Mallek did not hesitate and quickly change the scanning radar to a mana fluctuation detector. Once he did that, he quickly activated the scan.
Once he finished doing so, he immediately saw something on the horizon. A strange trace of mana has suddenly appeared and it seems that it is connected somewhere in the city.
…
While the front lines are in this trouble, in the Manor of the Viscount another group of guests has arrived.
A number of mages suddenly appear with haughty expressions on their faces. Because of the status of the mages, those that belong to a particular mage tower hold more authority and prestige than those mages who are not affiliated with any of the towers.
Of all the mages that belong to the army, only a few of them is affiliated with a mage tower. The rests are just common mages or those that did not pass the qualification to enter a mage tower.
Hence these mages who just entered can be considered as the top mages of their age and geniuses of the city.
As they enter the manor, leading the group are three old men with white hairs wearing Green, Dark gray, and light blue mage robes respectively.
When the mayor and the Viscount saw these people their expression immediately darkened. Who would not feel aggrieved when seeing these haughty people?
But the two could not do anything about this as these mage towers hold powerful mages. And right in front of them is the three most powerful mages in the city, the three Grand Magus.
"Grand Magus Tong Liwen, Grand Magus Rick Orfang, and Grand Magus Xin Xiaoyo welcome to our banquet. I thought the three Grand Magus of our city would not be able to make it. I am happy that you have come…" The Viscount greeted.
The three did not say anything but shifted their gaze in the surrounding. When Xin Xiaoyo's gaze landed on a certain person, he suddenly waves his hand in the air.
"We are here to capture someone who threatens the city…" he said with a sneer on his old face.
"What do you mean?" the Viscount said with a frown.
"The great Grand Magus have come! This prince greets the three of you…" Lamier said as he bowed.
Although he is a prince, yet in front of these powerful beings, he dare not show his authority.
"This does not concern you all. Stand back…" Xin Xiaoyo said with a frown.
"These people have caused the beasts in the wilderness to go wild. We must capture them and interrogate…" he added as strange energy suddenly envelops the air.
