"So you mean only the army of the Gubia Empire attacked, but they took the advantage of the night and portrayed a picture of a hundred thousand soldiers attacking?" Barret asked with wide eyes. "And to fight against such an enormous army, Ceston Empire sent their Chief Commander Dyso, but as the light of day spread, they realised that the enemy had fooled them. There were not even twenty thousand enemies. What a mess!"

Kadyn nodded. "Now they have attacked from the side of the Glovergonie Highlands," he said. "I don't know how long they have been preparing for this attack. They have already captured ten towns of the Ceston Empire, and they aren't showing any signs of stopping."

"How much time would the Chief Commander take to rush back?" Hot Rod asked.

"At least, 8 hours," replied Cecelia. "They are using trucks. Otherwise, it'd have taken over 2 days."

"So now," Kadyn began, "the emperor is recruiting the mages. He has asked our help as well." He looked at the people and went on; "According to shop rate, an elementary mage's life is worth two hundred Ces; rank 1 mage worth 2000; rank 3 mage worth 30,000. The emperor has promised a little higher price, but I don't care about money—as you already know."

Kadyn looked at Rayna and said, "You take care of the children. All of us are going for a battle."

"Al—alright," nodded the lady.

"All of you," Kadyn said to his companions, "use the Pengolla Formation to teleport to the Carran Town where the army would face against the people of the Bone Spear Tower. Remember, killing is our second objective. Our first objective is to not die—and by any chance, if you get injured," he said. "Teleport back to the shop, and don't head back until you are fully healed."

After that, all of them went to take the artefacts or potions they wanted before heading towards the battlefield. Kadyn also opened his Pengolla Portal and vanished from the shop.

—

"Boom!"

A ball of fire landed at the centre of the Carran Town, not far away from Kadyn. Drops of cold sweat trickled from his forehead, but he didn't have the leisure to stand idly, as the shouts of panic were echoing in all directions. "Fuck," he cursed. "Didn't they say that the enemy would need some time to arrive at the Carran Town?" He wondered if he had gone to the battlefield on foot, what kind of scene he would have seen?

"I told Elora and others to meet me at the entrance of the town. However, now the situation has changed." He focused his mind inside his consciousness and used his Spiritual Energy to carve the Spell Glyph—a wind spell. Then, mysterious energy discharged, from the small sprout of the World Lotus, inside the vast Golden Ocean, and transformed into two wings, behind his back that he flapped like an eagle and stood in the air.

He looked at the scattering people below, screaming children, wounded women. Then he eyed beyond the walls of the Carran Town, an army was standing outside, shouting and hooting in triumph, as the catapults propelled stones and spears towards the town. 

"Where the fuck is the emperor and the army that has arrived?" he grabbed one of the soldiers hiding behind the parapet and asked. "Why aren't you attacking?"

The man was rank 2 mage, however, when he felt the pressure coming from Kadyn he swallowed and replied, "Emperor? He hasn't arrived yet."

"Fuck!" he cursed and eyed the enemies outside through the hole in the parapet and asked, "How many enemies are there? How many rank 3 mages do they have?"

"Sir, who-who might you be?" asked the man with his trembling voice.

"Does it matter who I am?" Kadyn frowned. "Tell me!"

"Ye—yes, sir," the man's lips shivered. He looked overwhelmingly nervous. "There are n—no rank 3 mage. But they have about ten rank 2 mages. However, I am the only rank 2 mage in the town. So we could just hide behind the walls, but it is just a matter of time before we fall."

"What the heck is the emperor doing?" Kadyn frowned. The man flinched when he heard Kadyn's curse. He would have escaped from this place if it was ordinary time. After all, someone dared to curse the emperor in front of him—if anyone thought that he had some connection with Kadyn, he might not be able to die peacefully. 

Kadyn, however, didn't care about his reaction and stood up. Until now he had thought that the enemy had rank 3 mages, but now when he knew that they have only rank 2 mages, it had become a lot easier for him. He once again cast a spell, but this time, it wasn't a wind spell—but a summoning spell. 

"Jeeran!" he shouted the True Name of the creature, as he carved the Spell Glyph inside his consciousness—and a portal appeared in front of Kadyn from which a monster dashed out. It was the rank 3 beast that he had already tamed.

Kadyn—and the man beside him—looked at the gigantic creature flapping its black wings that were mixed with brown, as it opened its sharp yellow beak and screeched. Its neck to head was white, and it had claws powerful enough to tear the hide of an elephant. It was basically an eagle, just twenty or maybe thirty times larger than the normal one.

Kadyn jumped on the back of the creature and dashed towards the enemies. All the arrows and spears were ineffective in front of the thick hide of the Jeeran.

"Wow, is that brother?!" Elora, who was healing a crying child in the city exclaimed as her gaze moved towards the sky. Others were also staring in the sky, dumbfoundedly.

"Why, now we won't be able to have fun." Slyff sighed. "He is going to end them by himself."

"I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't kill at least a hundred of them," Khrom said as he looked at the corpses at the side of the road. "So, see you later.." Two wings spread behind his back and he dashed towards the battlefield.
