Ronald is pondering how to deal with the Dust Beast before him.

In handling an enemy of this size, every aspect must be carefully thought through.

However, while all this was happening by the seaside, the other side of the city was far from peaceful.

The colossal movements of the Dust Beast's actions awakened the entire night.

The attacking army from Lin Yin City naturally also noticed the sounds coming from suspected disturbances at sea in the distance.

Due to the obstruction of their view.

They regarded this as an environmental disaster like an earthquake or tsunami.

And believed it to be the heavens providing the best assistance for their siege.

Then, as the cracks in the city's defensive barrier extended throughout the city, the entire barrier collapsed with a bang. The commander of Lin Yin City's army issued an order without hesitation, launching the sixth assault on the city.

And this time, the advance of Lin Yin City was quite smooth.

The casters of Hamono relied on the city's defensive barrier to engage in a war of attrition with them. Now that their greatest reliance was gone, with the two sides engaged at close quarters, Hamono's forces were forced to retreat step by step.

In the end, they could only retreat into the city, using their familiar environment to find ways to resist Lin Yin City's invasion.

However, this scene didn't last long either.

Because the dragon emerging from the sea was still advancing.

In the perception of both parties in the conflict, initially, only a slight tremor came from the ground; then this subtle tremor gradually intensified, eventually drawing the attention of both warring parties.

In the darkness of night, the enormous white figure of the dragon advanced towards them.

Although they hadn't seen the terrifying commotion caused when the Dust Beast appeared by the sea.

What they glimpsed through the forest's gaps was a sliver of pale white.

And a curtain that gradually rose to an unbelievable degree.

Both the casters of Hamono and Lin Yin City realized the severity of the problem at this moment.

An unimaginably massive creature.

Was advancing toward them!

And as insignificant humans, they could hardly think of or undertake any action to stop the other side.

Amidst the chaos, the commander of Lin Yin City's army was the first to react.

Although the current state of battle was thoroughly in his favor, his army could not afford to linger in this place any longer.

Because Hamono's position was directly blocking the path of the creature's advance!

Woooo—

The deep sound of a horn rang out in the night.

Enhanced by magical power, the sound quickly spread to every corner of the forest and into everyone's ears.

All the soldiers of Lin Yin City, upon hearing it, immediately gave up their current invasion, quickly starting to retreat.

This was one of the most special commands within Lin Yin City's army.

Whenever a member of the military heard this horn, regardless of any important task at hand, they must quickly gather around the horn's holder and follow the leader's orders.

And at this moment, the leader of Lin Yin City's army who was blowing the horn.

Was riding quickly on his bear toward the left side of the Dust Beast's advance direction.

This military commander was well aware.

Compared with such a gigantic creature defying common sense, few in his army could escape alive.

The correct choice in this situation was like responding to an avalanche: they must move sideways to the creature's forward direction — the only path to survival!

The commander's reaction was timely and swift.

It didn't take long for him to leave the dragon's path, with soldiers quickly following him.

As long as the Dust Beast didn't change its course midway.

Their current position was already safe in this crisis.

Yet just at this moment.

In the darkness of the forest ahead, a crow descended from a tree, then transformed directly into the shape of the Demon Rame.

Turning to the commander of Lin Yin City's army.

The distance between them now appeared to be no more than twenty meters!

"Ha, aren't you the summoned creature from before?"

Suddenly confronted by Rame, with no troops around.

The commander astride the bear didn't panic but seemed rather confident:

"Appearing at this moment, perhaps you're not here for my head?"

"I come to deliver a message for my master." Rame acknowledged the other's correct guess decisively and pointed toward the distant white Dust Beast without hesitation, "This terrifying creature emerged from the sea and is heading towards Hamono."

"From the facts, this shouldn't be something you people of Lin Yin City could..."

"Wait a moment!" interrupted the commander of Lin Yin City's army, "From your words, you want us to help you, asking the enemy currently warring against you for aid?"

The commander astride the bear guessed completely correctly.

Hamono inherently lacked the capability against the Dust Beast, especially after a whole day's attrition warfare.

The Great Demon Rame, whom Councilor Dalman had specially arranged to keep as a trump card.

Was forced to act again out of utmost necessity.

When facing Lin Yin City's army with such an attitude, Rame clearly had a plan, so he turned to the ravaged Hamono under the Dust Beast's onslaught and stated:

"Sir, I know you don't care about the safety of our city."

"But I must point out, based on the information from our city mages, everything the terrifying monster passes —— all land and soil are turned into seawater."

"With your wisdom, I assume no further explanation is needed?"

The moment Rame divulged this intelligence.

The expression of Lin Yin City's military commander changed starkly.

If earlier he could see this colossal as a godsend opportunity for victory, knowing now that it turns all terrestrial surfaces into seawater totally upended the meaning of everything.

This doesn't just imply Hamono disappearing under this monster's attack.

Even this geographically advantageous, resource-rich land could vanish in the creature's rampage.

For Lin Yin City, which was even willing to wage war to seize this area.

The impact of the land itself disappearing isn't comparable to the gain or loss of a single city!

The cooperation with the enemy, the success or failure of the war, the gains and losses for the whole city-state...

These issues tangled in the commander's mind.

He pondered deeply for a long time before finally nodding toward the Great Demon and turning to the messenger who had just arrived:

"Relay the command."

"The forces attacking at night should go to the rear to rest and recuperate. The other casters on rotation should be ready; we're engaging this monster!"
