The moment the silver grade summoning crystal was revealed, Erika and the others immediately lost hope. Seeing how coordinated the bandits were, she knew that there was no doubt that the leader would be able to summon the contracted beast successfully.
Hence, without hesitation, she abandoned the thought of fighting back, and took a paper cylinder out of her pockets.
Using the Flaming Skull's fire, she lit up the strand of cloth connected at the end of the paper cylinder and immediately tossed it above her head with all her might. The paper cylinder lit up with a whistle as it traveled even further above.

The Red Family's symbol appeared in the sky. It should be visible even from afar. Mercenaries who saw these markings, would immediately return to nearby cities and report what they saw for the reward that they would receive.
