Assembling the troops didn't take long. The entire army was soon gathered.
Following the piercing cry of a phoenix in the sky, the human Soldiers, led by their officers, quickly dispersed in all directions.
Before long, two flares from a Lighting Technique shot into the sky. This was Robson's prearranged signal, signifying that everyone was ready.
Robson glanced up before looking away, turning to Mage Falan beside him.
"It's time. Let's begin."
Mage Falan nodded. The Mage Corps behind him began to chant, and in an instant, Robson felt a gentle breeze brush past, flowing toward the lake.
"SCREEE!"
In the sky, Huang Na shrieked again before diving straight down, unleashing a torrent of flame a few hundred meters ahead of Robson.
At first, the fire was contained to a single tree, but soon, embers began to scatter in all directions. Aided by Huang Na's control and the Mages' Magic, the blaze gradually formed a wall of fire that spread rapidly into the forest beyond.
