In the end, everyone had an hour of rest before they saw any movents coming from the enemy's camp. It seed that things on the other sides were pretty much the sa… while the enemies didn't get many surprises there, the numbers on both sides were more or less the sa.
For so reason, those three Battalions returned to their camp… they suffered so losses, but they weren't that tired. Still, soon, the other three Battalions stepped forward, and they looked much fresher than the others. At the sa ti, soone was leading them, and that guy was clearly exposing himself… he was either a fool or had a lot of confidence in their skills.
"One of the generals is coming…" Branden said and then began to bite his nails nervously. "Is this a trap, or could this be a good chance for us?"
"Sir, even if it is dangerous, we should accept the risks," Cor suddenly approached and then declared. "Please give the order to take down that enemy. I shall return with his head before the collision between the armies ends."
Cor was feeling feisty, apparently… Rain saw him fighting a few tis, and the white mustache was a powerful fighter, but he didn't look strong enough to take down an enemy that could lead one of the enemy tribes. His strength lies in working with his group, after all.
"... If that guy leads the charge, I want you to fight him, but before anything, asure his strength before going for the kill and focus on defense," Branden said. "The morale of both armies will be on the sa level if that guy fights, but we will be in a bind if he kills you. Focus on learning about his patterns and skills first."
"Understood," Cor said and then saluted and then nodded.
Soone overly prideful would probably think that Branden wasn't putting a lot of faith in them. Still, the mbers of the organization didn't have ti to worry about that. Besides, Branden probably selected those who wouldn't let those feelings get in the way of situations like that.
In any case, the enemies stopped their approach when they were five hundred ters away. That was a bit more distant than usual, but the people on the walls still began to climb down and assu their positions. Branden decided to use the fresher troops as well, and Cor would lead them… in the anti, Rain and the others would stay behind.
"Is this fine, sir?" Jori asked. "We aren't doubting your judgnt, but we can still fight, and we aren't even hurt in the slightest."
"It is fine; just be ready to move in case I call you as fast as possible," Branden said, and then he nodded while looking at Rain.
Rain did the sa… it seed that he should try to learn as much as possible from the enemy leader if he joined the battle. All in order to get rid of him as fast as possible. It was annoying that Rain had to wait since the enemies were all hiding their appearances behind cloaks and hoods, after all.
Just before the humans could finish assuming their positions, Rain saw the aura of the enemies changing. Just before, it was a bit of yellow and quickly turned into orange-red… that wasn't a good sign. At the sa ti, they charged toward the humans with extre speed. Even Rain wouldn't be able to keep up with that unless he uses Impulse.
At the sa ti, Rain realized that their footsteps on the ground left deep marks and made them cross several more ters with each step.
Their general stayed behind, so Rain could almost see the anger that For felt. It was his perfect chance to change the flow of the battle and also affect the war as a whole. Still, the enemy wasn't stupid… he didn't have to do what his enemies were expecting of him.
The enemies and humans collided, and even though the magic people didn't use any magic, they began to push the humans backward, and so of them were even sent flying for several ters in the air.
"That much speed and power is uncommon for them… did they actually use magic when their auras changed?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.
That was the only explanation… it was probably so support magic that increased their speed and strength. Rain assud that when he saw the Cor swinging his sword and then slashing the chest of one of the enemies… he was one of the fastest rcenaries, so that wasn't surprising. Still, it looked like the endurance of the enemies didn't change… at least for now.
When the humans realized that the enemies weren't that resilient, they focused on waiting for an excellent chance to counterattack. When that happened, a bunch of the enemies began to fall, but all of a sudden, the enemies stopped attacking that fast, and when their bodies were hit, the human's weapons only scratched their skin and clothes.
Rain looked behind the enemy's lines and saw that lone figure… Did that guy intervene sohow? Still, that battalion had around five hundred enemies… could that guy have enough mana and control to affect that many people?
"It is annoying that they hide their appearances since we would be able to get so answers regarding them with that alone…" Rain said. "Still, it looks like they are a tribe that specializes in supporting magic. They changed their approach from strength to speed to strength to endurance."
"You realized that as well, huh?" Branden asked. "What do you suggest we do considering that?"
"It seems that they can't use more than two types of support magic at the sa ti… so I guess we should alternate between magic and physical attacks."
Branden nodded… maybe the enemies could increase their magic resistance just like they can use it to increase their physical resistance, but that wouldn't allow them to cause much damage.
