Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

In front of the gate of the city "Radames". The city on the other side of the gate has become a ruin.

The city walls collapsed in places and most of the buildings collapsed, as if a disaster had swept through.

"First, I will use the ghosts to scout the interior of the city and also look for survivors." Cardin had a bitter expression on his face and quickly summoned a ghost and sent it into the city.

Seeing such a tragic scene, one can't help but wonder whether anyone can survive this disaster, but he can't give up without making any attempts.

"This place shouldn't be destroyed so easily..." Beside Cardin, Belid stood with a confused expression.

The city of Radames is a large city built by humans in front of the western defense line.

For humans, this city is a strategic location, and both resistance forces and revolutionary groups are stationed here to guard it.

However, the city was reduced to ruins overnight, and finding survivors of the disaster seemed impossible.

"I feel the presence of demons in there. It is not recommended to go in." At that time, Luna stood in front of the city gate, looking at the city that had become ruins, and said in a firm voice.

"Are there demons in the city? How many are there?" Belid asked Luna in an angry voice.

"One." Luna held up a finger, and Belid tilted his head in confusion.

"There is only one...?" I thought there would be countless demons guarding this city, but I didn't expect that there was only one demon left here.

"So, does that mean this demon occupied this city alone?" Belid said in disbelief, and Luna nodded in response.

“I don’t know. But, he guards the city alone, which means he has enough confidence, right?”

So it’s best not to go in, Luna nodded in warning.

"Kadan, where are the survivors?" If anyone didn't make it out of the city, he planned to rescue them. Because that's what they came for.

"No. They said there were only corpses..." Cardin looked into space, nodded a few times, then looked at Belid and answered.

Should this be considered lucky? Belid gritted his teeth and looked at the other side of the city gate.

At this time.

Crash! From behind came the sound of falling leaves breaking.

The sound coming from the silence reached the ears of Cardin, Belid and Luna more clearly.

They activated their magic at the same time, immediately entered combat mode, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The moment bone arrows and flaming arrows appeared in the void.

"Ah!" Bang! Someone shouted in surprise, and at the same time there was a sound of someone falling to the ground.

"Hey, wait a minute! I'm a human!" A man fell on his butt and waved his hands hurriedly.

But Cardan and Belid did not interrupt the magic. When they were not sure whether it was a demon, they could not let down their guard.

"Luna." Cardin called Luna, and Luna released her magic and spoke in a relaxed voice.

"It's a human." As soon as Luna answered, Cardin and Belid also released their magic and interrupted the magic.

“Why are you here?” Belid sighed softly and walked towards the fallen person.

"I originally wanted to stop you from entering that city. I didn't mean anything else." The fallen man slowly stood up and answered in a frightened voice.

"I'm Belid from the Revolutionary Group. I mean no harm, so don't worry."

"Belied from the Revolutionary Group? Could it be!" The frightened man wanted to call out Beled's name, and Beled nodded hurriedly in response.

"Yes. Are you a resident of this city?"

"Yes! Yes! I'm Mel! A soldier of Radames!" Mel introduced himself and answered with a relieved expression.

"The city has been occupied by the demons. Why are you here?" Belid remained alert and asked carefully.

This is a questionable situation after all.

"I-I'm on my way back to the survivors' camp."

"Survivor camp?"

"Yes. I was scouting around to see if there were any survivors. I didn't expect to see Lord Undying Fire!"

Hearing the words from the survivors' camp, a smile appeared on Belid's face.

"Can you take us to camp?"

"Of course! If everyone knew that Lord Eternal Fire was here, they would be very happy!" Mel answered with a happy smile, and started to walk forward.

The survivors' camp was set up deep in the forest near the city of Radames.

"Everyone, come and see! Lord Undying Fire is here!" As soon as they arrived at the survivors' camp, Mel called everyone together with a voice full of joy.

"The immortal fire?"

"Yes, he's still alive! The Revolutionary Group has sent reinforcements!"

"I thought I would die lying here..." Hearing Meier's shout, the people who were resting on the ground stood up one by one and walked towards Cardin and Belid.

"Bei, Lord Belid!" At this time, a man squeezed out from the crowd and stopped in front of Belid.

"you are?"

"I'm Joan from the Western Branch of the Revolutionary Corps!"

The woman who called herself Joan greeted Belid respectfully.

"You are a member of the revolutionary group, right? What about other members or branch leaders?" Belid asked happily, holding her hand, and Joan nodded with tears in her eyes.

Even if she didn't answer, she felt like she had heard the answer. Belid bit his lower lip and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"The branch chief evacuated us... and the other members also scattered." It seems that she is the only member of the revolutionary group in the survivor camp.

"The resistance isn't here either?"

"Ah! Demons, the demons are heading towards the west! The resistance has just set out to stop them." Qiao An hurriedly wiped away her tears and answered in a trembling voice.

"The demons are heading to the west?"

West Line.

This line of defense has been established since the demons began to occupy the northern part of the kingdom three years ago, marking the human territory.

"The situation looks serious." Cardin next to him frowned and listened to the conversation between the two more attentively.

"Joan. Please explain in detail first. We came here as soon as we received the request for support, and we don't know much about the situation yet."

"It was so sudden. We were going about our daily lives as usual, and suddenly the bombing started." The demon invasion began suddenly.

It is said that the demons did not give humans time to prepare and rushed in madly.

"The rebels, the revolutionaries, and the knights and soldiers of Radames rushed out, and the war began. And I was responsible for leading the refugees."

Joan tried to convey the situation calmly. Although fear was spreading as she spoke, she tried to remain calm and continued.

"The branch chief said that the demons may have noticed that Kalia and the other Western heroes left the city."

Hearing the familiar name, Cardin's eyes widened and he looked at Joan.

"Are there other heroes leaving besides Kalia?"

"The western region has been a bit uneasy lately. There have been battles everywhere, so the heroes living in Radames have been scattered around."

"I see. So, are all the people here the survivors?" After listening to the general description of the situation, Belid looked around again and asked.

"Maybe..." There seemed to be quite a lot of survivors, but not as many as the residents of a big city.

Many people died in the demon's raid, and the survivors might have gathered in this camp. Belid frowned and sighed regretfully.

"Maybe everyone is gathering here because the demons are heading west?"

"Yes. The city was captured and we are isolated here on our way to our destination, the Western Front."

If you flee to the occupied north, there are only cities occupied by demons. Even if you go north, you will obviously be captured by the demons and become slaves.

Therefore, the survivors hurriedly set up a camp deep in the forest and used those who were able to fight to search for scattered survivors.

"Let's go first. If anyone has any luggage to take with them, please take it all. We will transfer to Douglas immediately."

When people heard the word Douglas, their eyes widened.

The city of Douglas is the base of the resistance army and where the guardian "Gilbert" is located. It can be said to be one of the safest places in the kingdom.

"We are saved!"

"Hurry, pack your luggage! Wake up those who are sleeping!" Hearing Belid's words, the survivors cheered and scattered around the camp, and soon gathered again in front of Belid.

"I will open the portal. Any sudden movement may cause accidents, so please move slowly one by one."

After confirming that the survivors were ready to leave, Belid immediately opened a portal in the air.

"Thank you!"

"Lord Immortal Fire! Thank you!"

"Move slowly! Don't crowd!" After the portal to Douglas opened, people cheered and started moving.

"Cardan." Seeing all this, Belid turned his head to look at Cardan and Luna and spoke again.

"Kadan, can you go to the Western Front?" This meant that he would participate in the war on the Western Front. Belid asked cautiously, and Kadan smiled and nodded.

"If I can help, I will."

"Thank you. Please meet the commander there and tell him about the demon invasion."

"What about you, instructor?"

"I will set out from Douglas with the reinforcements. The Western Front will also be short of manpower." Woohoo. Belid said, opening a portal for Cardan.

“Although it’s called the Western Front, it’s just a wall with a base camp built behind it.”

Although we can fight on the city walls like a siege, if the wall collapses and the demons come over, the southwest area will fall. It is only a matter of time.

If the defense line is breached, the demons will also occupy the cities in the southwest.

"So we have to stop it. We have to hold the line."

"I understand, instructor. I will do my best."

"I will also rush over with reinforcements as soon as possible." Joan next to him said to Cardan cautiously.

"Perhaps the demons have reached the defense line now. So please be careful."

"Thank you, Instructor. I'll see you at the defense line then." Cardin said, looking at Luna, who quickly moved to Cardin's side and tightly grasped the hand that Cardin extended.

"Cardan, please hold on." After saying that, Cardan walked into the portal opened by Belid.
