Sitting on a rock while gazing at the moonlight, Gerald could sense the tension gradually thickening in the air.

Ideally, he wished for the situation to remain unchanged for a longer period. While this might lead to more casualties, it would make Wratharis less prone to deploying their heavy artillery prematurely.

Undoubtedly, it was Wratharis who was currently racing against the clock, not Lustburg.

Regrettably, the other side understood this as well.

The leaders in Wratharis were far from foolish, and they were bound to take action to shift the disadvantageous situation.

And that's when it happened.

ROAR!

Gerald wasn't surprised when he heard the roar of an enraged beast.

"Here they come."

It was ironic how those who held the fortress were the ones launching such a relentless assault, but that was the bitter reality of war.

She will have to fight again.

It saddened him to see a gentle soul like Nuwa forced into the bloodshed of battle, but such was the harsh reality of war.

Be cautious, young one.

He sighed and looked up, his face bathed in crimson light. It appeared they wanted to begin with a bang.

ROAR!

The skirmish started with a massive crimson fireball hurtling toward the encampment at breakneck speed, ready to consume everything in its path.

The human soldiers were taken aback; they couldn't believe the opposing side would launch such a fierce attack without hesitation.

"Mages, prepare the barriers!" Viktor sprang into action. While some damage was inevitable, they could greatly mitigate it.

What they didn't know was that this was no ordinary fire. Several tanukis had combined their mana to create this potent attack, each sacrificing a significant portion of their lifespan. It was a taxing technique, but it offered efficiency and power, akin to the full might of a typical Duke-ranked mage, and in some cases, even surpassing it.

Watching the fireball descend, Bai Hu clenched his fist. They could survive this night.

At least, that was what he initially believed, but⁠—

—they had overlooked one crucial detail. There was no way they could have foreseen what happened next.

Whoosh!

[Smash]

Out of nowhere, a figure could be seen soaring toward the iridescent fireball. Onlookers opened their eyes wide, wondering if this person was reckless, attempting to stop the fiery onslaught.

Human soldiers shouted while those from Wratharis smirked.

But soon, silence enveloped the battlefield as everyone struggled to comprehend the astonishing sight before them.

"Ah..." Bai Hu let out a humorless laugh, his eyes twitching.

"What a monstrous sight."

This sentiment was shared by all on the battlefield, regardless of their affiliation. They witnessed the maid approaching the fireball; instead of an explosive clash, something entirely unexpected occurred.

"Is she... devouring it?"

His wife's voice trembled as she asked, her eyes wide.

"Yes... Yes, I believe she is."

In front of them all, the gigantic crimson fireball vanished, leaving only residual heat as proof of its existence.

"Do we... still need to fight?"

Bai Hu closed his eyes. "I'll take care of her. Inform the others to initiate the assault, and the tanukis should prepare. This time, I won't allow anything to hinder them."

Without waiting for his wife's response, Bai Hu leaped into action.
