Rain made three sets of staircases appear on the other side of the wall. The soldiers stationed behind the walls began to go down and dash toward the enemies.

At first, the mages ignored and waited until those guys got closer, but then their legs began to get covered in ice… they didn't learn a single thing from Tristan… or perhaps they just thought that the walls would fall before anything happened.

In any case, the enemies still could use their hands, and while their bodies were suffering frostbites at that moment, they still pointed their hands toward the humans and bombarded them with earth spears. Rain watched the battle unfold before his eyes while furrowing his eyebrows.

The soldiers blocked the earth spears with their weapons, but some of them were knocked down thanks to the sheer power of the attacks. Still, it didn't take long before they reached the enemies and began to slaughter them.

"Don't rush, and don't get impatient," Branden said while he was clenching his fists since he was seeing some of his soldiers die. "The battle just started. They only sent a small portion of their soldiers… we can't get exhausted before the real battle begins.

Rain closed his eyes and tried to meditate while he was standing… Still, he wasn't able to focus on doing that. It was only natural since he needed to relax as much as possible to be able to meditate… but it was a problem at the same time.

"I need to improve Meditation or find a way to meditate all the time," Rain thought. "Maybe there is a relic out there that is waiting for me, but it will be better if I develop a skill that does that since it will give me a ton of experience."

It was hard to imagine that Rain would be able to pull that off in the middle of a war, though, still, in the encyclopedia of famous and Powerful figures that Rain read. He heard of a mage that could use area of effect spells whenever he wanted, and no one ever saw him run out of mana… no one knew his secret, though.

"I still have a long path ahead of me," Rain thought.

Branden sent around three hundred soldiers as well to deal with the three hundred mages. While they lost twenty on their side and thirty more due to injuries, the enemies had lost more than one hundred of them already, and the walls were no longer being attacked… still, the enemies soon sent their second battalion.

"It looks like they know that we don't have many people on this side…" Jori said while furrowing his eyebrows. "The commander should have sent more soldiers to come with us."

"It wouldn't work; only the members of the organization would agree to follow me," Branden said. "The soldiers need to have some faith in their commander to perform well. Maybe that will change after this battle, but for now, the soldiers of the kingdom think that I am just an underhanded brat who relies on tricks to win our battles and that I only lead a group of unruly mercenaries."

It made sense… for someone to be respected in the army, they needed the experience and the accomplishments. Branden had his organization because of his fame and family, and while they did a lot in the last five years, they still had a lot to prove.

Before Branden could make his choice of sending reinforcements or not, the earth mages from the enemy's side began to fall back… he decided to call his soldiers as well to avoid making them expose themselves.

Still, the second battalion of enemies soon joined the first and began to march together toward the walls. Much to everyone's surprise, they crossed that three-hundred-meter line, and soon Branden gave the order for the archers and mages to attack them.

Unfortunately, since they only had one hundred of those, the projectiles were stopped… the new battalion used wind walls to stop all the projectiles. It soon began to fire wind blades toward the walls. Jori and Reca stepped forward and blocked the projectiles that targeted their friends. However, the impacts still pushed them a couple of centimeters.

"We can't let them dictate the pace of the battle," Branden muttered and looked around. "Guys, I will need you to lead the charge. I will be safe here, so focus on stopping the second battalion and returning in one piece. Support Rain as much as you can since he doesn't have much mana."

That choice of words was problematic since it could make the others jealous of Rain. Still, they weren't kids anymore… they were in Rain's eyes. Still, they didn't behave like that often, so they seriously nodded while looking at Branden.

The same looked at Rain and also nodded… they couldn't risk too many more soldiers to stop the second battalion… they had to do that with the ones they had on the field.

"Well, let's go then," Rain said and then jumped from the wall.

Rain wanted to dash toward the enemies, but he waited for his friends since the enemies were moving toward them… when the soldiers were about to reach the wall, they saw the signs that Branden had made. He raised his right arm and then moved to the side… it was the sign for them to stand their ground and prevent further damage to the walls.

The earth mages began to attack the walls again, on the same spot since they believed that they were almost there… It was time for Rain to crush their dreams. Once everyone was ready, they took the lead of the first line of defense, and then they charged toward the enemies when Rain used Impulse.
