But now, news of the Fourth Corpsâ annihilation? Who had they even fought?
"The Fourth Corps... why?" Aiden muttered in confusion, his expression clouded.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldnât fathom how the Fourth Corps had been attacked. Based on his understanding, the alliance didnât have enough forces to spare for such an operation.

Whoever had attacked them had been ruthless, thoroughly dismantling the corps. The evidence was clear in the traces left behind.
Aiden knelt and ran his fingers through the dirtâan action he wouldnât normally consider, but the gravity of the situation left him no choice.
After a moment, he stood and scanned the area once more.
"There was magic hereâcast not from the front lines, but from the rear... It seems they pierced the mana barrier to cut off any retreat."
