YM778.TV Chapter 184: War (26)
Rain wasn\'t a master at assassination, but his tools were pretty versatile; he was sure that he could think of something that would leave no traces behind and make it look like an accident or an enemy assassin.
In any case, everyone worked to relocate their camps, and soon, they arrived in the area they were supposed to guard. It was in one of the corners of the city, and while it had plenty of room for the soldiers of all groups, some fights broke out between the members of the army and the mercenaries.
"Give them a bit of a leeway, and this is what happens…" Branden said and then sighed before heading to deal with those fights.
Branden was too busy to deal with that, but he knew that it would be the fastest way to make them end. If he shows up every time a fight breaks out, that will make both parties less eager to do so.
"The soldiers of the army are trying to pick a fight with us because they think that we are hogging all the glory," Jori said. "Our side was the one who showed the most results until now, after all."
"This is so annoying… I guess we need to show even more results to make them work harder instead of being pissed," Reca said. "We will be counting on you, Rain."
"You should listen to your own words…" Rain said.
Although he said that, Rain saw that Jori and Reca, as frontliners, felt a bit troubled by being unable to match the same achievements that Rain pulled off. Still, they had grown enough to know that they could only work harder to make up for it.
Rain felt a bit bad for them, but as a man with memories of his previous life, he had to do something at least that much, or he would feel like a total failure. He couldn\'t let every single person younger than him outdoing him. Branden already showed that with his magic skills, and Rain didn\'t know if he made up for it in the last few years, but he had to keep trying hard.

"Not bad, I guess… I should be able to unlock a new path soon if I deal with another general," Rain thought. "That will also most likely end the war… but can I do that without my weapons?"
Rain won\'t be underestimated this time around, so the fight will be even harder than before. Besides, the enemy has gathered enough information about him to have several countermeasures for his skills. That will be more than a little tough.
"They are moving again," Asche said while squinting her eyes while looking in the distance.
The sun was setting, so it was a bit of a weird time for the enemies to make any big moves. However, once everyone saw the whole enemy army, it became abundantly clear that they were going all out from now on… even if they had to keep fighting over the entire night, the next day, and the next night.
The enemies didn\'t light any campfires or bonfires; the sky was also cloudy, so the visibility at night would be terrible. It was also getting cold, so it was hard to say if it would rain and how much that would benefit the enemies.
"We never fought them under these conditions," Liss said while looking worried. "This might be troublesome… it seems that the rain will stay for a while, and the enemies might even force that to happen if it suits them."
"Can\'t you two do something about that?" Jori asked.
"A blast of wind probably could dissipate the clouds, but it is basic math; they have a lot more people and a lot more mana; hence, trying that will be a waste of time when they can fix the weather," Rain said.
When it was completely dark outside, it began to rain, so the group looked for some cloaks to protect themselves from the rain, but it didn\'t look like they would be able to use them for long. Using Mana in his eyes, Rain saw the enemies moving.
"Three thousand enemies coming from the East!" Rain shouted.
No one could see that yet since the area ahead was completely dark, but they recognized Rain\'s voice and readied themselves for the fight. The royal guards equipped their shields, and soon, they began to get hit by Water Spears, which made their shields tremble all over and get damaged.
The rain actually enhanced the power of the water snipers… or perhaps they could focus more on offense because they didn\'t have to create the water.
"Can you see them that well?" Branden asked.
"To some extent, there\'s also some mana in the rain, so the enemies are trying to decrease our visibility as much as possible, which is also interfering with my senses," Rain said.
Rain wasn\'t planning to share the secret of the Mana in his eyes without something in exchange, so he decided to say that… he was pretty sure that Branden was the one owing him now, after all.
