Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 174: War (16)

While they worked as a team for a while, they also worked playing to their individual strengths. It was mainly the first time they had the chance to fight like that for so long, after all.

"I think that we might need that when we fight alone, but it won't be the case this time," Rain said. "You will soon confirm that."

The others didn't understand Rain's words that well, but they knew that he wouldn't say nonsense just to lift their mood. Still, they didn't have time to practice since everyone began to move toward the walls, and the words of the enemies started to spread around.

When Branden showed up, he called the group to stay close to him again. There were plenty of veterans who could help him and follow his orders better. Still, it seemed that he wanted Jori's group for different reasons.

"Our orders today are to keep the fighting near the walls and avoid losses," Branden said. "Still, we can move and take the fight to the enemies if the walls take too much damage."

"I guess the other walls aren't in that good shape," Rain said. "Perhaps Revan didn't have the chance to sleep that well and changed his mind."

"It is Commander Revan," Jori whispered when some of the royal guards approached.

"The enemies will try harder today, so I am planning to use fresher troops," Branden explained. "You guys will go with the royal guards groups and then try to cause as much damage as possible against them. However, try to not stand out too much. The enemies might have prepared some traps for you all."

The cold air spread around and immediately dissolved the three fire tornadoes. It was quite something that Branden could do that against three spells of dozens of enemies... maybe he trained all his life to become proficient at fighting the magic people.

In any case, that display of skill and power made the soldiers on the walls get inspired, and they began to attack the fire tornadoes more fiercely.

While emotion and adrenaline couldn't power up magic, they could improve accuracy... the soldiers in the walls started to attack the base of the fire tornadoes, and that made them lose Power and speed... just like when they were fifty meters away, they started to decrease in size and then eventually dissipated.

The battlefield grew silent for a while since the enemies didn't know what to do; they truly sucked at improvising. While looking at them, Rain pointed his right index finger at them and almost fired an earth bullet. However, Branden stopped him... he truly didn't want them to stand out and become the focus of the enemies.

That was a bit bothersome, but it couldn't be helped... in any case, the first battalion began to retreat a bit, and then the second battalion emerged. The tension could be felt in the air since the next enemies were impossible to recognize since their hoodies were covering their whole bodies.

Still, everyone quickly realized who they were when they pointed their hands ahead, and then from the ground, Numerous golems began to emerge.

"The golem masters..." Branden said and then furrowed his eyebrows. "Groups one to fifty, go deal with them. You guys should go with them and try to get rid of as many golem masters as possible. Don't go too far since the other battalions are nearby. We need to take down as many of them as possible while not losing any on our side."

Rain, Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, and Terra nodded, and then they began to climb down the stairs alongside half of the parties of the royal guards...
