They moved swiftly, like venomous snakes, rapidly approaching the high-level mage corps that was displaying its might!
"Enemy attack!" A high-ranking mage's cry of alarm was choked off in his throat as soon as it escaped.
A reinforcement used Shadow Step, instantly appearing behind him. His arm became a blur, and a perfectly precise garrote choke instantly snapped his neck!
The mage fell from the high platform like a broken puppet.
Another mage was focused on channeling an ice spell when a shadow behind his neck suddenly writhed. A pair of hands covered in shadow energy burst forth from the darkness, clamping tightly around his throat!
The shadow energy instantly paralyzed his nerves, interrupting his spell.
Immediately after, a flash of poisoned cold light appeared, and a dagger accurately pierced the mage's neck!
The intruders were rogues, and extremely top-tier rogues at that!
Rielian's spirits lifted. He recognized the leading figure as Sindaiseth, who had always been so mysterious!
Their targets were clear: high-level mages and their vital points!
Silence, blind, poison—various insidious and deadly techniques blossomed in the shadows, instantly disrupting the formation of the high-level mage corps!
Caught off guard, several high-level mages screamed and died, significantly reducing the pressure they exerted on the rebel army!
"Well done!" Asulate watched the Black Claw Camp display its power, and an excited roar escaped his lips.
But he wouldn't let his comrades hog all the credit. "Black Guard Camp, target the Arcane Guardians! Don't let them look down on us!"
The "Black Guard Camp" received their orders. They temporarily detached from the rookies they were leading and reassembled into the small squads they had formed before dispersing.
These veterans were extremely experienced in combat and agile. They cleverly exploited the Arcane Guardians' slow turning weakness, rapidly climbing during the gaps in their heavy attacks!
Their target was the Arcane Core, which continuously rotated and emitted dazzling blue light, located at the Arcane Guardian's waist!
"Destroy the core!" Asulate took the lead, leaping high and smashing violently into the core of an Arcane Guardian!
Clang! Roar!
Sparks and energy fragments flew everywhere!
The core was directly knocked away by the immense force of the Scale Leader's impact.
Deprived of its energy, the Arcane Guardian's dazzling blue light dimmed, and its massive body froze in place, then crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust!
The other veterans also unleashed their weapons on the cores of the other two Arcane Guardians!
Ear-splitting metallic grinding and energy explosions resounded one after another!
In less than fifteen minutes, all three Arcane Guardians were incapacitated!
With the high-level mage corps and the Arcane Guardians successively defeated, the pressure on the front lines suddenly eased!
The rebel army was pulled back from the brink of collapse! Their suppressed rage and divine grace reignited!
"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements!"
"Emberglow Dragon's blessing!"
Fervent shouts rose again, and morale soared!
However, this hard-won advantage lasted for less than a moment.
Five magical fluctuations, far more powerful than any previous mage, suddenly erupted!
Five figures, in a dazzling flash of teleportation light, appeared on the highest platform behind the noble army, overlooking the entire battlefield.
The leader floated several feet above the ground, surrounded by brilliant arcane light. An incandescent energy sphere condensed at the tip of his staff, and his gaze was cold.
Beside him, a familiar figure sat on a floating chair—it was Chris Sunspear!
His chest was tightly wrapped in thick bandages, and the staff clutched in his hand surged with unstable crimson flames, looking as if it could explode out of control at any moment.
The other three, all wearing elaborate purple robes, had arcane energy surging wildly in their hands.
The members of the Mage Noble Council had personally arrived on the battlefield!
They didn't even converse before each made their move.
The energy sphere at the tip of the floating figure's staff instantly split, transforming into dozens of homing arcane missiles that shot towards the rogues who were attacking the mage corps!
Their speed was too fast for the naked eye to discern!
The crimson flames at the tip of Chris Sunspear's staff erupted, turning into a fiery storm that covered half the battlefield, pouring down indiscriminately on friend and foe!
The other three also made their moves, attacking the rebel army with large-scale spells.
The battlefield situation instantly reversed once again!
The flickering flame of hope that had just ignited was cruelly extinguished!
"Sindaiseth!" Asulate roared, seeing the homing missiles about to strike several soldiers of the Black Claw Camp.
"Understood." Sindaiseth's reply was brief and low.
Immediately, he unfurled a Shadow Veil, enveloping all the soldiers who had penetrated deep behind enemy lines.
The arcane missiles instantly lost their targets, crashing around like headless flies.
Asulate instantly understood his comrade's intention. He roared, no longer concealing his strength, and charged with a great leap, heading straight for the highest platform!
A few breaths later, as he crashed into the midst of the several council members who had not yet reacted, Sindaiseth also quietly emerged from the shadows, appearing behind Chris.
Chris sensed something amiss, turned sharply, and his eyes instantly burned with bitter resentment and madness—he recognized Sindaiseth!
"It's you—!"
He shrieked, ignoring his injured body, and abruptly turned, raising his staff. Unstable crimson flames once again flickered at the staff's tip, and scorching energy surged incessantly, looking as if it would erupt the next second!
