I find it very sacred to pick someone up and make them a saint.

Flammy and Sestan also saw Mien and the others, casting longing glances at them from afar.

Sestan roared, unleashing a tremendous energy surge that sent three or four enemies who had come to fight him flying.

Mien and the others seized the opportunity to merge into the middle of their formation.

The further forward they went, the denser the enemy forces became, almost dividing the Imperial Army into individual combat zones.

People were just charging desperately toward Rachel; if they got there, they would have a chance to survive.

If you can't get through, you'll be submerged and die.

"What happened?!"

The first thing Sestan asked upon meeting was...

Mien replied loudly and helplessly, "I don't know either."

Does he think he's some kind of all-knowing god?

It's as if they can solve all the unknowns on their own.

After Flami broke through the defensive formation formed by the group with a burst of dragon breath magic, he retreated alone.

"Chief Mien, what happened?!"

"I don't know either..."

Judging from the movements of the two of them and Rachel, Mien seemed to know his current position.

The ambush encountered by the Imperial Army was an internal problem, but the so-called magical restrictions and suppression arrays were all placed on Mien.

Everyone agrees that only Mien and Lucia can solve this problem.

"What is the current situation of the army?" Mien asked.

A clearer judgment still needs to be obtained from them.

"It's difficult..." Flami said, frowning.

"There's absolutely no need to be pessimistic," Sestan said, holding a different view.

"Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before we invade the Severn Empire."

Only after the city is breached and the army enters will the situation change completely.

Instead, we can use the city gates to both accumulating small numbers to defend against enemy troops on the border and wreaking havoc within the city, forcing them to compromise or become overwhelmed by one aspect of the conflict.

"That's difficult to do," Flami retorted while dealing with the high-level superhumans who were harassing them.

"They must have also deployed a large number of troops in the city."

Sestan glanced at the approaching enemy troops and snorted coldly:

"A bunch of idiots. No matter how they found out our movements, with all our forces out here, we have no strength left to prepare a backup plan."

"Even if their city's defenses are not strong enough, the enemy forces outside the city are now defending with all their might."

It seems they've gathered their most powerful superhumans here, as if they came prepared.

Sestan glanced reluctantly ahead.

Even though her pace was slow, Rachel at the front still charged forward with ferocious bloodlust, breaking through enemy lines and guiding everyone behind her.

"Looks like we can break through, don't we?"

Flammy also glanced at Rachel during a lull in the fighting:

Even if she could actually do it...

He then turned his head to look at the vast array of Cassirer soldiers behind him.

"It's only a minority; not everyone can get in."

"Isn't that inevitable?" Sestan looked like he didn't understand what the other person was talking about.

"Only a few people can possibly rush in."

Flammy met his gaze and understood what he meant.

One will be a million bones.

At least Flami could protect his family and his men; that was all he could do.

"But this magical restriction is too disgusting. It restricts our movements, and our combat power is actually lower than theirs."

"Chief Mien, are you really completely unable to think of a solution?"

Mien calmly said, "Based on the current clues, the source is within the territory of the Seferon Empire, and only by attacking it can we find a solution."

Sestan and Flami sighed helplessly, but their confusion vanished, replaced by an even stronger fighting spirit in their eyes.

The only way is to break through the city.

Rachel's second group of messengers also arrived.

Before Mien could even check Rachel's message on the communicator...

Suddenly, the situation changed!

The flashing sword light ahead paused for a moment.

An even stronger chill erupted, even affecting Mien and the others.

Even Sestan and Flami were momentarily stunned.

The intense chill did not subside; instead, it surged forth like a tide.

Each wave is stronger than the last.

As everyone looked, a mage named Sephren, dressed in a long black and gray robe, floated in the sky ahead.

The hood was pulled down, revealing only half of a face that looked like a grotesque skeleton or corpse.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a powerful burst of icy energy exploded, centered on a soldier of the Cassirer Empire.

The soldier was torn apart by the energy, scattering in all directions.

Those infected not only suffer severe blows, but also experience sluggishness throughout their bodies, even slowing down their ability to gather magic power.

Like flowers blooming all around Rachel, they brought them to a complete halt.

"This is... a level 9 transcendent!"

Sestan exclaimed.

"Cestan seems to be a bit stronger than you."

"Doesn't the Severn Empire only have two Tier 9 individuals? Who is this person?"

Before anyone could react, the words had barely left their mouths.

Another dark tremor resounded from the ground.

A dark shockwave suddenly erupted from beneath the mage's feet.

It spread like an earthquake, shaking the very souls of all the Cassirer's troops along its path, and then continued unabated as it spread backward.

The next moment, a burly, armored man riding a demonic mount came flying at lightning speed, a giant trident in his hand.

Even in terms of body size, it is twice the size of a normal person.

With overwhelming force, he first knocked down more than a dozen people, then swept across with his fork, causing a violent, dark tremor.

"Another level 9 superhuman..."

This momentarily shook even Sestan's determination to win.

The Cassirer Empire has a total of 5 Tier 9 Transcendents, including Flami and Sestan.

Rachel was only at the 8th rank, nearing a breakthrough. It was only with the help of the divine artifact, the Holy Sword, and two 9th rank companions that she had such unstoppable power.

With the addition of several powerful warriors under his command, he was able to continuously suppress the enemy's defenses.

However, this is all based on the premise that the enemy only has two level 9 units.

The sudden addition of two level 9 players abruptly reversed the situation.

Rachel fought back fiercely, but her resistance grew weaker and weaker, and she almost retreated a few steps, managing to push back against the odds.

"In that case... it seems we won't be able to breach the city anytime soon."

Surrounded by the vast ocean behind them, the crippled Imperial Army was gradually devoured, often losing an entire battle formation in a single battle.

Even if they requested reinforcements from within the country immediately, they could not hold out until the reinforcements were fully integrated and joined the battle.

The situation has reached a dead end.

The qualities of their leaders enabled Flami and Sestan to unleash an even stronger momentum, relentlessly launching attacks forward.

They gradually closed the distance to Rachel's halted troops until they met up.

Rachel moved closer to the group.

Mien now had time to check the message Rachel had just sent him: it was also asking him to find a way to break the magic restriction.

"We can break through the city!"

The moment the two sides met, Rachel's dashing figure stood tall under her cloak and called out to Flammy and the others.

"I just need your help."

Her gaze was unwavering.
