Two days later,
The disappearance of Darius Case finally reaches everyone's ears including upper echelons of Crimson Hall. At first they didn't take it seriously enough but when the family of Darius Case raised the alarm bell. The management from Crimson Hall decided to investigate this matter.
At Northern Border,
The Northern Fort's Protector successfully defended the fort by killing his enemies quick sessions. Which caused quite a stir among the enemy forces. For a time being no one chose to attack the northern fort. So, Right now the atmosphere around the northern fort appears to be calm but still there is some. Undercurrents. No one is quite sure when it will surge.
The Crimson Hall team on the other hand decided not to join hands with allied forces. The Elders from Crimson Hall already gave them strict direction to act independently and finish their missions. One is to escort their Crimson Hall students back to home.
And another is to kill talented warriors in leaderboard ranking. Especially top talents including Zack Lockwood.
Right now two Peak Elite Warriors are responsible for this mission. These two hold Elder positions in Crimson Hall's Management. Upon First Elder's arrangement, they themselves took the mission.
At this time two of them received messages from their management. After reading the message two of them sucked cold breath. Both of them don't know how to react to this message. One of their students is missing. Management isn't clear about the situation.
For now management suspects this is the work of enemy forces. So they instructed them to enter the city no matter what and escort back their students. Seeing the message, the two looked at each other. It's time to move now. One of them is officially leading the team and the other is in disguise, both of them coordinated with each other nicely.
Right now, they have to confront the protector of the northern fort. It's impossible to get past him without alarming him. Soon, the crimson hall team moved and reached near the northern fort.
"Hmm"
The Elite Warrior stationed at northern fort notices the situation. He is now recuperating from his injuries that he had suffered from earlier battles. Earlier when he finished killing those elite warriors he thought there would be some buffer time before the next wave.
But right now facing new adverse situation, he grunted in anger, "Damn it"
He flew upwards from his fort to face the enemy. Simultaneously the alarm bell rang alerting remaining warriors in the eastern fort. They immediately begin to March towards the enemy.
The number of warriors under elite on eastern side twice in comparison towards the Crimson Hall Team. The Eastern side has twenty Trainee Apprentice Warriors and a couple of Special Trainee Warriors.
The Crimson Hall team has Two Peak Elites and Nine Trainee Apprentice Warriors on their side. Which is quite deceiving, if not for the presence of one extra elite warrior on their side.
The northern fort protector was also fooled by this. When he appears in front of them to fight. The two Elite warriors on the Crimson Hall side separated. They two eyes glanced at each other. Seemingly, if no support comes for the northern fort's protector then it will be a dead end for him.
"Harumph" The northern protector snorted seeing ten people flew towards his troops. He couldn't understand how dare they face his warrior with their feeble numbers. His warriors are definitely going to crush them with overwhelming numbers. He only needs to take care of this Peak Elite Warrior before him. Before his injury worsens even further he needs to end him quickly.
He is a wind element warrior, he quickly uses wind power to his advantage to enhance his speed. He quickly disappears from the spot and launches a few wind blades at him.
"Whizz"
Several colorless wind blades flew one after another towards Crimson Hall's Peak Elite Warrior.
"Bang" "Bang"
The other hand, Crimson Hall's Elite Warrior executed a defensive attack by erecting a mud wall. Which shows he is an Earth Element Warrior. All those blades landed on his body and completely disintegrated into thin air.
While this battle was going on in the sky. The warriors on the ground started to fight against each other. The disguised Elite Warrior looked out for traces of other Warriors in the vicinity. If not for it, he would have joined forces with his companion to kill the northern protector.
But seeing the northern protector is a wind element warrior, he knew his companion had a complete advantage fighting against him. Right now from time to time he is helping Trainee Warriors by killing the enemy sneakily.
The northern protector's face distorts seeing that the opponent is an earth element warrior. He is cursing at his bad luck right now. On one hand he has to take care of the injury while fighting against the earth element warrior which is very disadvantageous to him.
Even during his Peak State it is not easy to fight against earth element warriors. He gritted his teeth in anger. He shouldn't have listened to the Star Tower Hall Master's Words. He thought he just needed to show his presence as an Elite Warrior. But he hadn't expected to be involved in a continuous battle.
He is not one of those Star Tower Elders, he came here to help. He had already done his job. But he feels hesitant to fight any longer. His gut feeling tells him to run away from this place as soon as possible. For safety he immediately sent a request for assistance. While making some distance away from the Earth Element warrior.
The other hand, the Crimson Hall's Elite Warrior notices the strange behavior of the northern protector. He immediately went into an offensive mode by launching several boulders against him. Using earth element essence he created several rocks before launching towards him.
All of those rocks were different sizes. If he had concentrated enough he could make them in uniform size but in order to avoid wasting time. He launched these attacks in a quick session.
