The group had a quick meal and then went to rest for a bit. Still, they didn't have the chance to rest for long since, all of a sudden, a massive impact echoed in the area and made the ground tremble.

Rain quickly left the house that he was having and then heard some noise coming from the walls. The others also appeared and looked around, imagining that an enemy attack was taking place, and soon they headed toward the walls… Still, they didn't find any signs of enemies nearby. However, there was a boulder close to the wall and a huge mark of attack nearby…

"From that distance and with something that big?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.

Before long, everyone on the walls heard the sound of something, and a second later, they saw a massive boulder almost hitting them on top of the wall. It only lasted for a moment, but Rain saw the boulder spinning… it was five meters long and wide, and to cross that distance, a normal person couldn't fire such a spell.

"It is a combination of wind and earth magic," Liss said. "It seems that even though they don't belong to the same tribe, those guys can do this much together. The wind adds the speed by moving around it, and it also makes the projectile lighter and releases all of the energy upon impact. Also…

It seemed that Liss was some magic nerd, so she kept rambling about that for a while. In any case, the enemies wanted to damage the walls at night to make them have an easier time during the day.

Soon, the group realized that the same thing was happening on the other side of the wall… they also didn't want to let anyone sleep. That was a good strategy and very dangerous for the humans.

"If everyone doesn't rest properly enough, we will suffer more wounds and casualties tomorrow," Terra said.

That was obvious, but Terra still felt the need to warn Branden about that. When the next projectile came, he confirmed that the enemies were targeting random spots on the walls to prevent them from being blocked… the enemies imagined that they had some decent mages on their side if they were doing that much.

Branden considered working together with Rain to stop the projectiles. Still, they would have to cover two kilometers of walls… it was impossible, no matter how good they were with magic.

"We can't move a large group of enemies, but we should be able to stop them with a smaller one," Branden said.

"Sir, the commander said that you shouldn't head to the Frontlines," Jori said. "If you disobey such a commander, the reinforcements won't feel the need to follow theirs since they will feel that you don't respect the commander; they will also feel that you respect their lives even less."

"I suppose so…" Branden said while glaring toward the enemies in the distance. "I wanted to surprise them, but I guess you guys can do that. You should use the tunnel and then cover for Rain and Liss while they use their magic together to cause havoc among the enemies."

"The entrance of the tunnel is around four hundred meters away from the enemies; it will be hard to approach and escape without revealing it," Reca said while grabbing her spear tightly since she wanted to do something more aside from just guarding the attackers.

"Rain?" Branden asked.

"... You really like to treat me like a mole, don't you?" Rain asked after a long sigh. "I can make the tunnel get two hundred meters closer, and that should be enough for a fire tornado to cause some destruction among their ranks while we remain hidden."

"All right, get to work; we don't have time to waste," Branden said. "Be careful since the earth Mages might be able to feel your magic underground."

Rain wanted to complain, but it was useless. According to the work that he showed thus far, he wanted at least ten gold coins. If he receives less as a payment, he will probably resign from the organization.

In any case, Rain began to work, and after half an hour, he finished the job. Since he only used magic, his hands were fine. It was a pain since he wouldn't be able to use much of it on the next day, but at least he wasn't discovered. Using the small hole that Rain created, the group checked things on the enemy's camp, and then they saw what was happening.

They saw a group of ten earth mages raising their hands while they also created a boulder slowly but surely. Around them, there was a group of twenty wind mages enveloping the boulder in the wind and making it spin… Some enemies were watching them, but not a single person was guarding those guys.

"They truly aren't expecting this… I guess everyone in this world sucks at improvising or risk management," Rain thought.

"If I focus hard enough, I can make the tornado appear close to them and such them in, but I can't use two types of magic from this distance," Liss said.

"Fire magic isn't my strength, but I got covered," Rain said. "You can start it."

Liss nodded and focused until the enemies began to focus their magic and prepare to launch another projectile toward the walls. The tornado started like a gust of wind, but soon, it began to grow in size and length.

Before long, Rain used all of his focus to send a single bullet of fire that contained a shit ton of mana, and when it touched the tornado, it engulfed it in flames and began to make it expand while sucking the enemy's wind as well…
