"I get it now… they made the walls of the city hard for us to take, but they should have some countermeasures for that…" Rain thought.

Without wasting time, Rain returned to the others and informed them what he found out. The enemies will arrive in less than half an hour… and that the whole thing truly had been a trap. While the humans were expanding their territory in the city, the enemies weren't trying hard to fight them.

When Revan confirmed that and saw the enemies from the top of the wall, he realized that he didn't have time to deal with Branden and his crazy actions.

"Seal the gates and make sure to be ready to face all of the enemies," Revsn said. "Send the word to our allies in Tristan and in the Capital. As soon as they arrive, this war will end in our victory."

That was easier said than done… Even if the reinforcements hurry, they will need at least four days to come. In any case, Branden told Rain to work on the walls and make sure to focus on the quicksand executioners.

"What a slave driver…" Rain thought and then shrugged.

"Commander Revan," Branden said. "If you bought some spiritual potions, Rain can help you reinforce the walls of the city in no time. Lent us some, and then you can focus on taking down the enemies inside or make them run away."

Revan glared at Branden since he didn't have time to listen for a brat that couldn't even follow orders from the king. Still, soon, he changed his mind and began to reconsider when Rain sat down in front of the destroyed gate, and then the debris of the huge earth block began to return to their starting point.

As if that wasn't enough, while half of the block had turned into dust, Rain still managed to harden and move the ground upward to increase the size of the blockade… but he had to stop since he was out of mana. After meditating for a short while, he did the same thing again, and the blockade increased by a few centimeters.

"Bring some spiritual potions, archers, move to the western wall, and attack anyone that gets in range!" Revan shouted. "Royal guards! Select ten soldiers each and move as a group to hunt the enemies inside the city! You have fifteen minutes to dispose of all of them!"

"YES, SIR!" The royal guards shouted with all their might.

While some of them were heavily wounded, their morale was sky-high since they invaded the city a lot sooner than expected. While it was a part of the enemy's plan, the enemies didn't Decrease their numbers as much as they had expected.

"Rain, we will be moving to the western wall as well. Come to us once you are done," Branden said.

"I will try not to be late for the party," Rain said.

Everyone noticed it. Rain wasn't the type to joke around in such a situation, so they could tell that something was bothering him. His wounds must still be hurting a lot for him to mask the pain like that.

"That was a lot of power… combining magic and physical attacks is as useful as ever, but it sure is painful…" Rain thought while he looked at his hands trembling.

Rain hadn't recovered from the wounds that he suffered by digging with his own hands, but at least he learned his lesson… It was time to upgrade his gear.

"I heard that Branden's organization had a talented mage as good as him, and he was younger… You were the one who dug his hole?" Revan asked after some of his underlings brought the minor potions.

"Yes, before you ask for anything unreasonable, it took me four days," Rain said.

"We don't have time to dig holes against this kind of enemy; they probably brought their big guns as well this time," Revan said and then passed the potions to Rain. "Just make to keep that brat in one piece, or my and your heads will roll once this battle is over. If we survive."

That sure was a hopeful way to see things. Still, it wasn't like Rain couldn't see where Revan was coming from… if he had a bunch of plucky teenagers running around and disobeying orders for glory under his care, he would feel troubled, too.

In any case, Rain began to hear the sound of battles in the distance, and he also could feel the vibrations on the ground caused by the enemies approaching. They were still two kilometers away, but it was easy to feel their approach since they had thousands on their side.

After drinking just one potion, Rain was able to fix the gate and seal it completely. The hole was a problem, but it was unlikely that the enemies knew how they arrived… those who knew had been killed already.

"I guess I will use another potion to heal myself," Rain thought.

While he was healing himself, Rain also headed where the others were, and they looked astonished while looking in the distance. When Rain did the same, he could understand them a bit; the army of the enemies basically took over the entire horizon.

"There are three of them here," Branden said while pointing to the horizon.

Rain looked in the same direction and saw that three people were leading the armies… They were some of the big shots of the magic people, and they were supposed to be crazy strong…
