It was a sudden and unexpected disaster that Lieutenant General Dutch had died at the hands of a strong enemy.

Mo Fan was forced to step forward under the dire circumstances. He had no idea exactly how strong Dutch had been, but if their unknown enemy had killed Dutch, he could definitely kill Mo Fan too!

There were other Super Mages among the Eagle Horse Skyriders. Why couldnt they be the ones to lure the enemy out instead?

What if the guy is a Super Mage with every Element at the peak Super Level? Im as good as dead too! Mo Fan had to say.

Thats unlikely, as a person like that is under great restrictions implemented by the Magic Association. They would need a valid reason to use their magic. For example, Professor Xylan of the Aorus Sacred Institute is only here for the Venomous Insect Shamans, Eagle Eyes pointed out.

Dont even mention that hag. I thought she was a reliable helper who was going to take out the enemy for us, yet all she did was put on airs. We wouldnt be in this situation if she could take out the Venomous Insect Shamans! Zhao Manyan snarled when he heard Professor Xylans name.

Its not entirely her fault. She has to protect her reputation. Regardless of which side wins the war, the Magic Association will still be here. She doesnt want to leave a huge stain on her name in the Magic Associations records, Eagle Eyes had to say.

You should ask someone else to do the job. Theres no way I will risk my life for you, Mo Fan scoffed.

It was necessary to win the war to take down Wu Ku. However, it was more important to ensure their own safety! Mo Fan did not think Eagle Eyes suggestion was a good idea.

In simpler words, Eagle Eyes just wanted him to be a sacrifice for their army so they could win the battle!

Mo Fan was not that stupid. He would not consider it, even if the Federation Army promised to give him a city as a reward!

The enemy was currently focusing on the Eagle Horse Skyriders. If everything went south, he could try to sneak his way to Wu Kus location while the Brown Rebels were distracted. It was better than trying to stand out and being targeted by a strong enemy Mage!

The other captains have to lead their men, otherwise the Brown Rebels could easily send a Super Mage with Magic Wings to butcher our riders. The enemy already knows Lieutenant General Dutch is dead, and are expecting us to lose morale. They will soon send their strong Mages after us. We are running out of time! Eagle Eyes replied.

The enemy knew Lieutenant General Dutch was dead, but the Eagle Horse Skyriders could not afford to tell their men the truth. Otherwise, Eagle Eyes motivating words would lose their effectiveness.

Mo Fan, why dont I pretend to be Dutch? Zhao Manyan proposed.

Its too risky, the guy who killed Dutch is very strong! Mo Fan shook his head.

Not many people in this world can kill me. Besides, I can just run away if I cant hold on. You know I have a lot of trump cards to guarantee my own safety. Things arent looking great for us. If we dont make a breakthrough and take down Wu Ku in time, the Brown Rebels are going to win the war. We will lose our only chance to get him! Zhao Manyan pointed out.

They would have to face tens of thousands of enemies without the Eagle Horse Skyriders support. Even if Mo Fan managed to sneak up on Wu Ku, Wu Ku just had to hold on for a few minutes until Mo Fan was surrounded by tens of thousands of Brown Rebels.

Mo Fan did not want the Eagle Horse Skyriders to be wiped out, either. On second thought, it was indeed their only option!

Zhao Manyan would disguise himself as Lieutenant General Dutch and work together with the Eagle Horse Skyriders to fend off strong enemy Mages who were able to fly, while he snuck off to the vortex amid the confusion to take down Wu Ku!

Fine! Mo Fan snarled.

Not every situation had a safely viable option. Being able to act according to the situation was already impressive. He could only take one step at a time!

Youll have to be more careful since I wont be with you. You are as fragile as a piece of paper! Zhao Manyan reminded him.

Mo Fan had brought Zhao Manyan along to make sure he had a sturdy meat shield when he was being flanked by enemies, allowing him to unleash his full potential as a pure destructive Mage.

Mo Fan did not feel near as safe when Turtle Zhao was not with him!

Ill update you on the situation of the battle constantly, the same way Lieutenant General Dutch was able to kill the enemys Super Mages so easily. Besides, if your friend can really keep the unknown enemy busy, it will also do you a huge favor! Eagle Eyes encouraged them.

In the end, Mo Fan had to fight alone.

It was not like he had a choice. On the bright side, he now had a clearer picture of his goal.

They were betting their lives on the Eagle Horse Skyriders to begin with. It was only a matter of time until the Eagle Horse Skyriders were wiped out after losing their commander.

All Mo Fan had to do was take down Wu Ku before the Eagle Horse Skyriders were wiped out!

He had no idea how long it would take the Brown Rebels to kill the remaining Eagle Horse Skyriders.

Mo Fan left the Eagle Horse Skyriders.

Eagle Eyes was a man of his word. He immediately gave Mo Fan guidance after Zhao Manyan agreed to be the decoy.

Mo Fan wove through the enemy camp using the Dark Noble Mantle.

Mo Fan was almost undetectable when he was wearing the Dark Noble Mantle if there was no Super Mage around. He was able to move deeper into the enemy camp like a phantom.

Stop moving forward, there are three Super Mages in your path. One of them is most likely Damon, a Super Light Mage. You are dead if he senses the Aura of your Shadow Magic, Eagle Eyes transmitted into Mo Fans mind.

Head left, theres a platoon of Advanced Mages. They shouldnt be able to notice you.

Look out, Damon is heading your way. He must have sensed something. Hes moving toward you without any hesitation!

Hes less than three hundred meters from you.

Hes very close to you now...

Mo Fan was hiding behind a tall tent with a campfire beside it. A few middle-aged Advanced Mages were observing the battle in the sky.

A man with a thick white beard came over to them, looking around cautiously.

He was the Super Light Mage named Damon.

Mo Fans Dark Noble Mantle had left a faint trail of Shadow Magic. Damon was obviously good at tracking down the presence of Shadow Magic. He was most likely a strong fighter, too!

Ive followed a faint trail of shadow magic here. Have any of you seen anyone or anything unusual? Damon asked the Advanced Mages.

The Advanced Mages exchanged confused glances.

What shadow traces? How could they not notice anything if anyone came through here?

Mo Fan was extremely close to them. He had no clue his Dark Noble Mantle would leave a trail of shadow magic along its path, but then again, he had never encountered a strong Light Mage like Damon before, either!
