The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Komer pondered silently, the situation had deteriorated so rapidly that he felt almost caught off guard. Within no more than a week, Homer’s army would arrive in Mandu.

The rebel forces entrenched in Mandu still numbered over thirty thousand, exceeding the invading Homer’s army by tenfold. However, these rebels had been terrified by the fierce and brutal display of Homer’s army in Banassia, and their morale was low. Had they any other choice, they might well have resumed their flight.

To defeat this invading foe, they first needed to boost the morale of these rebel forces, and then use their overwhelming numerical advantage to break through Homer’s army. Of course, this would also require disrupting the enemy’s formation and shattering their morale, for which the assistance of the mages and Dark Knights standing beside him was necessary.

"Maha Gummi, contact their chiefs immediately and demand they hand over all command to us. We’ll take charge of this battle." Although aware of the risk this posed to exposing their own position, Komer could not afford to worry about such things now.

If they did not intervene, this rabble would undoubtedly collapse without a doubt. Not only might Homer’s army use the stabilized situation in Leon as a springboard to advance toward Caucasus, but the swarm of fleeing slaves would also provide Homer’s army with the perfect pretext to march on Caucasus.

"No problem, they’ve lost direction and hope we take over. My subordinate and I will contact them immediately." Maha Gummi’s face shone with excitement, clearly hoping that Caucasus would take over. To witness those detested aristocratic mine owners strut proudly on this land again was something Maha Gummi was unwilling to see.

When Komer and his entourage appeared before a group of rebel leaders, the so-called rebel chiefs immediately felt the pressure they brought with them.

This oppression was so intense that for a moment, they almost felt unable to breathe, staring in dismay at the newcomers. The rebels then courteously stepped forward to pay their respects to the guests with the most honorable etiquette, any previous doubts having long since vanished.

The number of rebels entrenched in the Mandu region amounted to more than thirty-six thousand, making it the largest rebel force in the Leon region. Most of them were Half-beastmen or those of mixed heritage with Half-beastmen blood, and, of course, there was also a significant portion of Mortals.

Komer’s gaze slowly swept over the faces of those standing before him, chilling several Half-beastmen and Mortals to the bone.
