Chapter 1145
The fires of war spread, and the internal conflicts within the Human Alliance became irrelevant—no one dared to stir up trouble now.
Leon abandoned the temporary encampment, taking a few of his subordinates to continually roam the outskirts of the Blazeforge Battlefield. He never confronted the Blazeforge Orcs directly, only hunting pseudo Sky Rank magical beasts, or occasionally seizing spoils from orc squads out hunting. He never allowed the orcs a chance to retaliate or pursue.
Though Leon wandered outside the battlefield, news kept pouring in.
In the morning, Rafael led the mages of Skyhold Fortress to set up an alchemical array near the Sanctuary, trapping and killing most of an orc squad. Even a Sky Rank orc was seriously wounded by Rafael and forced to flee.
In the afternoon, Burning Tower was ambushed. Dida La was besieged by two Sky Rank orcs and came close to death—both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The fighting was intense from the start. Leon silently counted the mana crystals in his hand.
Previously, two-fifths of the mana crystals obtained by Skyhold Fortress and the Henry Family would be given to Leon, while Cloudspire Tower and Black Tower handed all their mana crystals to him without reservation.
With humans and orcs hunting simultaneously, the number of pseudo Sky Rank magical beasts in the Blazeforge Battlefield plummeted. Most of the time spent hunting was now just searching for beasts.
Leon could focus on researching the Beast God's Blood, but now, with full-scale war erupting, none of the four factions had the resources or energy to hunt magical beasts. The supply of mana crystals was abruptly cut off.
