When Count Misi, accompanied by his trusted aide, arrived at the walls of Morning Star City, the rebel army from the Leaf Territory had already vanished beyond the horizon.
They seemed to have left in a hurry, leaving some of their supplies behind on the ground. They simply set them ablaze. The camp was filled with marks of burning.
The trebuchets that were not yet completely assembled were also destroyed one by one. Count Misi even saw those siege towers that the rebels had erected, which had been troubling him for days...
The army besieging Morning Star City exceeded thirty thousand, including the Red Maple King Otto, who was already a Legendary Expert, with many formidable supernatural forces.
For Morning Star City, with its defending force of just a few thousand and the strongest only at the Golden Rank, this was a terrifying force.
If it hadn't been for the divine arts defensive barrier, the city would have likely been breached long ago.
