"Boom!"
The huge explosion instantly woke Lesas, who was looking at the Kandla Empire's barracks in the distance through the window.
However, before he could react, he already felt a sudden wave of air.
The workers' room in this mine was not built firmly, and it was shaken by this abnormally powerful wave of air. The windows were directly shattered into pieces and flew toward Lesas along with the wave of air.
Lesas shouted coldly, and the aura in his body circulated, blocking all the incoming debris. He then jumped out of the room that was already shaking and seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment.
When he turned his head to take a look, Lesas was shocked.
The living area of the mine had fallen into a sea of fire at this time, and wreckage caused by the explosion was everywhere. He could even see a few disfigured corpses lying on the ground.
The guards had already fallen asleep, but at this time, they were awakened by the explosion and all of them ran out of the barracks.
It was a good thing that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards were strictly trained, so even in this sudden situation, they were still fully armed. Moreover, they were only a bit panicked at first, but they quickly calmed down and prepared to gather.
Lesas had no idea what had happened, but in this situation, it was obvious that he had to show his role as the captain.
However, just as he was about to loudly order his men to assemble and prepare to deal with the enemy, he suddenly heard a shrill sound coming from the sky behind him to the right.
He turned his head in horror and saw an incomparably bright light in the sky flying toward him at high speed.
"Spread out!"
Lesas did not care about giving any more orders. He could only turn his head and shout at the guards who were gathering here, then he pounced to the side.
"Boom!"
Another deafening explosion rang out beside his ears. Following that, an equally terrifying shockwave swept over, causing Raesas' body to involuntarily roll twice on the ground.
When Lesas got up from the ground again, his whole body was already scratched by the debris on the ground. Two streaks of blood were left on his face, making him look extremely terrifying.
However, he did not care about this at all. He looked around and found that the explosion this time was a little further away than the first attack. Moreover, his guards had made the correct response before the explosion, so they did not suffer any losses.
"Get up, gather quickly, and retreat outside!
Retreat!
Did you hear that?! "
Raesas roared and grabbed the collar of another vice-captain who was running over.
"Go and start up all the trucks in the warehouse!
We have to run for our lives! "
After giving his instructions, Lesas frowned and looked at the Kandla Empire's camp in the distance, only to find that it was quiet and peaceful. It was as though the commotion here had nothing to do with them. Not a single soldier came out to watch the commotion.
Lesas knew that something was amiss, but he couldn't care less now. In comparison, he was more worried about Freud who should have infiltrated the Kandla Empire's camp.
Logically speaking, Freud should've noticed the huge commotion. With his speed, he should've returned by now.
But until now, he still hadn't seen him. Could it be … that something had happened to him?
"Captain, the rest of our brothers are all here. What should we do next?" A question pulled Lesas back from his worries.
He turned around and saw that there were still hundreds of his subordinates left. He waved his hand.
"Retreat!"
Everyone had just moved when there was another dazzling red light that cut through the night sky, falling in their direction.
This time, the ray of light landed directly in the middle of the barracks.
"Hong!"
A violent explosion sounded, and several houses were directly blown into ruins. The mine was suddenly turned into a mess.
"Don't look, quickly leave!"
Lesas roared out. He waved his hand at his subordinates again before leading them to the warehouse with the Magic Cars.
Halfway through, the vice-captain had already rushed out of the storeroom with a panicked look on his face.
"Captain, the Magic Cars in the warehouse have been tampered with, they can't start!"
"What?!" Lesas' eyes widened.
Lesas' eyes widened, "Weren't there brothers watching over them the entire time? How could they have been tampered with?"
The vice-captain had a bitter look, "I don't know either … …"
"You … …" Lesas wanted to punch him, but he knew that this wasn't the time to care about this. He calmed down to think for a bit before turning to look at the Kandla Empire's camp before heading to the back of the mine.
"Come with me."
A group of New Flyer guards followed Lesas to the back of the mine. They climbed halfway up the mountain and circled around before entering the forest behind the mine.
This backup retreat route was determined by Freud when they set up camp four days ago. Lesas had mocked Freud for being too careful, saying that they wouldn't use it at all, but he never thought that they would be forced to use it now.
"Captain, where's vice-captain Freud?
Why don't I see him? "An elven guard suddenly asked in a small voice.
Lesas looked at him and said in a sharp voice, "Don't ask anything now, just focus on moving!"
That elven warrior's eyes dimmed before he became silent again.
Lesas felt the atmosphere around him become a bit stiff, but he wasn't as good at speaking as Freud. He didn't know how to liven up the atmosphere in the group, so he could only move forward.
"Captain, where are we going now?" After a while, another vice-captain asked in a low voice.
"Be careful and hide, we'll meet back at the base." Lesas replied in a deep voice.
"Yes."
With a clear goal in mind, the atmosphere in the team suddenly became solemn.
Although this attack in the middle of the night was too sudden and it was out of everyone's expectations, these New Flyer guards had been trained very strictly and they were all elite warriors from different races. Even if they didn't have the military magic machines, they were very strong just based on themselves, so they didn't panic at all.
There were even some guards who were curious why captain Lesas chose to retreat as soon as possible. To them, even if the enemy had a powerful weapon like the Magic Cannon, it wasn't like they couldn't fight back.
This optimistic mood was quickly dealt a heavy blow.
When the group came out of the forest and was about to go around the mountain behind the mine, there were two dazzling lights that came at them.
"Hong — — Hong — —"
Two huge explosions rang out in the center of the team, and the remaining four hundred guards were all blown up into the air.
When Lesas was still in the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was wearing a set of Magic Armour and had activated a Magic Shield in time, he would have been shattered by that attack.
However, the giant impact had still injured his internal organs, making him feel very uncomfortable.
When he was prepared to turn around and land, there was a bright pillar of light that fell down from the sky, covering a large area of the guards.
Under the cover of this pillar of light, the Mana Shield on Lesas' body was rapidly depleting its energy, and it was about to run out.
This fact filled his heart with shock.
It had to be known, the Magic Armour he was wearing was the third generation Magic Armour designed by New Flyer. When the Magic Shield was filled with magic, it was enough to block an Eighth Grade Spell.
This meant that this pillar of light that appeared out of nowhere was not weaker than an Eighth Grade Spell!
After thinking this through, Lesas didn't have any hope in his heart. He twisted his body and rolled in the air twice before falling to the ground and rolling a few more times. He returned to the forest and hid behind a tree.
Then he quickly turned on the communication device on his Magic Armour and gave the order to his team in a low voice.
"Brothers, retreat and find a chance to return to the base. That's all."
After giving this order, Lesas didn't even look back as he charged into the forest without any hesitation.
The enemy that suddenly appeared was very well prepared. Not only did they have powerful weapons like the Magic Cannons, they might even have more than one High Grade Magician. It was far from what their small guard team that was only equipped with military magic machines could resist.
The most important thing right now was to escape as much as possible.
The goal of the New Flyer guards was to preserve their strength as much as possible in a situation where they couldn't fight back.
After all, New Flyer had large amounts of military magic machines on every guard and they had undergone long term training. They had invested over ten thousand gold coins in total.
Losing a single guard was a large loss for New Flyer that they couldn't accept.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards were all elite warriors of different races. Although the attack this time was strong, with their powerful strength and the powerful defense of their Magic Armours, although they were in a sorry state, there weren't many people who lost their lives.
After regaining their senses, they immediately received Lesas's order and quickly judged the current situation. Thus, all the guards returned to the forest without hesitation. After a while, they disappeared into the night one by one without a trace.
After a wild explosion between the forest and the outside world, it finally calmed down.
When the light of the magic faded, a large team of over a thousand people came from the other side of the forest. They charged into the forest to search, leaving only four people at the entrance of the forest.
Under the light of the flames, the faces of the four people could be seen.
Two of them were captain Uther and Count Zadar whom Lesas had seen over the past few days.
