Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

A revolutionary base camp near the city of Douglas.

"How stubborn." Belid, who killed the demons in the ice wall, reappeared in front of Blanche by flashing.

"Thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect the demons would follow us." Branch handed him a pot of water and said with a smile. After Belid drank the water, he immediately started talking again.

"We must send reinforcements quickly. The demons are advancing towards the western defense line."

"Is there a war on the western front?"

"Yes. It may be late now. Is the Lord and Mr. Gilbert in town?"

"No. Mr. Gilbert has gone to the southern base temporarily. My father is in the city." But the guardian was not there. Belid frowned and nodded.

"Fortunately, Mr. Owen Douglas is here." Owen Douglas. The head of the most prestigious magic family in the kingdom.

He is a magician recognized by Guardian Gilbert and is designated as the next Guardian.

Being called the Supreme Magician after Gilbert, he would certainly be of great help in holding back the western defense.

"Let's go. I'll lead the way." Blanche immediately turned and ran towards the city wall, and Bellid followed her immediately.

"Ah, and I met your brother." Klose and Blanche are siblings, so Bellid naturally told her about Klose.

"I'm not too interested..." However, Belid didn't show much joy. No, he didn't seem to care at all.

"I rescued the people trapped in Robain City with Klose. Klose is still the same."

"Well, isn't Robain at the end of the north? The place where the demons capture people as slaves?"

"Yes. That's right." However, she seemed happy to hear that the people trapped in Robairn had been rescued. Blanche looked back at Belid briefly, as if with interest.

"How could they have thought of rescuing Robain's people... The rebels only made plans but didn't actually execute them."

Because it is a very dangerous plan, no one has been able to rescue the residents of Robain City. No, it is impossible to even try.

Bellide did this, and Blanche looked at her with respect.

"Thanks to Cardin." Blanche stopped in her tracks.

"Ok?"

"Cardan. He and Branch were classmates at Hero Academy."

"Ka, Cardin? That guy?" Blanche asked Bellid in surprise.

"Yes. Still so careless. Although it's all thanks to him that we did a good deed, but..." Belid chuckled and waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.

But Blanche just stood there, with no intention of moving at all.

"Blanche? Is there a problem?" Bellid asked with his head tilted, and only then did Blanche come back to her senses.

"Huh? Ah, no, no. Let's go quickly." Blanche blushed and hurriedly led the way. Bellid looked at her back and smiled secretly.

"Aren't they enemies?" Blanche asked cautiously when Bellid walked up to her again.

"Teacher. How's that Cardin guy?"

"Any injuries? No. He's fine."

"No. That's not what I meant. I was asking if I've become stronger..." Cardin disappeared without a trace in the past 3 years.

No one in the Revolutionary Group or the Resistance had ever heard of Cardin. But three years later, they heard about him.

"It's gotten stronger." Belid was silent for a while and said with a sneer.

"It seems like we're temporarily blocked by a wall, but to be honest, I think that guy is a lunatic."

"Huh? Why?"

"He's caught up with me in just three years. If I relax a little, he will surpass me in no time." After hearing what Bellid said, Blanche clenched his fists.

"Another person..." The gap between Blanche and Cardin already existed three years ago.

In order to narrow the gap, she worked very hard, but the gap not only did not narrow, but became wider and wider.

"Kadan is now on the western defense line. Given his personality, he will definitely fight the demons reluctantly." He is too courageous.

Bellid said this and glanced at Blanche secretly.

"Where's Klose?" Feeling Belid's gaze, Blanche quickened his pace and asked another question.

"Klose is at the Revolutionary Corps base in the east, taking care of the rebels imprisoned in Robain Prison." Belid chuckled and replied. Soon the two of them arrived at the gate of Douglas City.

"Huh? Blanche! Teacher!" In front of the city gate were the survivors of the city of Radames and Alvis who led them to escape from the demons.

"Is everyone safe?" Belid immediately asked about the survivors' situation and breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that everyone was safe.

"Yes! Thanks to you! Thank you! Lord Immortal Fire!"

"Long live the immortal fire!" As the survivors cheered, Belid covered his face with one hand and lowered his head.

"Alvis. I'll leave these people in your care. I'm in a hurry to go somewhere with Blanche."

"Ah, okay! Don't worry! I'll take care of these people!" Alves seemed to smile with relief and straightened his chest confidently.

This is a confident look that was not seen three years ago.

"Alves." Belid was about to leave, but stopped and called Alves. Alves stuck his head out and looked at her.

"Ok?"

"I will gather the people to support the battle on the western front. Let's go together then."

"West, Western Frontier? War?" Alves said in surprise, and Belid covered his mouth with his index finger, motioning him to be quiet.

Meaning don't unnecessarily upset the survivors.

"Ah, okay!" Fortunately, no one seemed to have heard the conversation between the two.

"Anyway, call me." Just like that, Belid and Blanche ran towards the lord's city. Alvis suppressed his excitement and began to guide the survivors.

after awhile.

"Long time no see, Belid."

"Meet the great head of the Douglas family. I apologize for visiting you so late."

"You came so late, there must be something urgent. Tell me, what's the matter?" Owen Douglas said to Bellid while getting dressed.

It looked like he was just about to fall asleep when he was woken up.

"The city of Radames has been occupied by the demons, and they are now advancing towards the western defense line."

"Radamès? How are the revolutionaries and the resistance there?"

“Although some survivors were rescued and brought here, there were not many. The resistance and revolutionary groups guarding Radames were actually almost wiped out.”

Owen frowned at Belid's words.

"The entire army was wiped out..." Above the western defense line, the city closest to the area occupied by the demons.

As a forward base, it is a strategic location, guarded by powerful resistance forces and revolutionary groups.

No one expected that the city of Radames would be captured in one morning.

"If the western defense line is also breached, this place will be the next stop." Bellid said in a heavy voice, and Owen nodded in response.

"Yes. We must defend the western frontier. How many reinforcements do we need?"

"The number of reinforcements is not important. Even if there are a few, they need to be elite."

"Elite?"

"Yes. At least Lord Owen needs to take action personally. They are the ones who wiped out Radames's entire army in one morning." Owen stopped talking and thought for a moment.

As the head of Douglas's family and also the lord, this is not an easy choice.

"If I leave, it will be dangerous here. Don't you know?"

"Yes. But even if the west line is breached, it will be dangerous here." If Gilbert were there, Irving might step out and go to the west line.

But now that Gilbert is not here, he can’t leave the city easily. After a brief silence, Owen looked at Blanche who was standing next to Belid.

"No way. Blanche."

"Yes, Father."

"You will be responsible for protecting the city while I am away."

"what?"

"Your brother left too, and I'm going to the battlefield too. The Douglas family can't leave this city, right?" That's right. So there's no way to refute it.

Even if Blanche went to the battlefield instead, it wouldn't be of much help, as she couldn't even bring herself to go.

Although she wanted to go, Blanche bit her lower lip and nodded.

"I see."

"Then, gather the people quickly. Don't we have to hurry?" Owen gave orders to his subordinates who could be seen nearby.

"Go get the rebel commanders. Tell them to gather in the conference room."

"Yes! I understand!" The magician who looked like a subordinate hurriedly opened the door and walked out, and then Owen also stood up from his seat.

"I'll get ready first. I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time, I can't just go like this." Owen turned around.

"Everyone be careful!" Owen, sensing something unusual, shouted to Bellid and Blanche.

At the same time as that cry, Wow! There was an explosion in the distance, and the ground shook like an earthquake.

"Has the defense line collapsed?" Sudden bombing.

The only enemies attacking Douglas City are the "Demons." Branch said, looking uneasily in the direction of the sound.

"No. The ones guarding the line are the Knights of Colinfirth. They won't fail so quickly."

As Belid said this, he immediately activated his magic power. Owen also activated his magic power with a frown.

"Blanche. You wake up the soldiers and the rebels and take them to the walls."

"Yes, Father."

"And Belid. Please guide the residents to evacuate. The newly built tower is a shelter in case of emergency. Please guide them there."

"I see. And what about Lord Owen?"

"I'm going to meet the person who destroyed my city." Owen immediately opened the space and took out the sapphire-inlaid magic wand from it.

"I'll be there to rescue you right away. Please take care."

"Don't worry. Protecting residents is the top priority."

"Yes." Then let's go. Following Owen's words, the three people immediately walked out of the entrance and exit, and the two magicians except Blanche disappeared through teleportation magic.

Clang! Owen, who appeared on the broken city wall through teleportation, frowned and looked around.

"Attack only once." An explosion sounded from the city wall.

The sound only sounded once. If there were multiple attacks, the soldiers guarding the wall would not have failed to see the attacks. In other words, the wall collapsed after a single attack.

"One attack brought the walls down." The walls of the city of Douglas are protected by magic.

Even if the siege weapons hit it many times, it would not break. Such a wall collapsed in an instant.

"Who on earth is that..." Owen frowned and looked at the other side of the city wall.

At this moment, whoosh! There was a flash of black light in the distance, and something shot towards Owen.

"What is this!" Owen hurriedly stretched out his wand and used magic.

Wahhhhhh! The sharp black flash hit the barrier that appeared in the air, causing a huge explosion.

"Oh... With such strength, is he the head of the Douglas family?" Then a creepy voice came from a distance.

"Who are you?" Owen turned his head in the direction of the voice. Seeing only darkness, Owen hurriedly activated his magic power and used magic to enhance his vision.

Then, in the darkness, he spotted the owner of the voice.

"A deer mask with horns... If it's a demon wearing a mask, it must be at least a highest-level demon, right?" Owen gritted his teeth and gripped his wand tightly, judging that the other party should not be underestimated.

"It's a bit dangerous here..."
