My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 58 – Fall of Border Fortress
“What leader should we do?”
“They are getting closer”
It was seen that the Goblins had already gathered in front of the defensive line of the fortress precisely in front of the trap that the adventurers had previously set up, the Goblins simply waited for the effects of the Skill stack to end and they could easily launch an attack.
‘I did not have time to digest all these problems’ Warren who had previously had time to Shock began to refocus himself, and put aside the betrayal that Kiev had committed, for him the safety of his men was the top priority, so that the safety of his men was the first priority, ‘I have to secure these adventurers first’
“Your Knights and Shield Warriors use your defensive skills, use them on the walls of the castle and its gates, stack all your skills, and, meanwhile the Mages and Archers all go down and leave this fort” Warren makes a decision.
According to Warren, the adventurers would not be able to withstand the attacks of the Goblins too risky for him to continue defending the fortress after one of Kiev's wrong orders.
“But what about Behemoth City, if we lose this fortress, the Goblins will immediately attack the city?” although there were some adventurers who questioned Warren's orders, all of the Mages and Archers kept moving.
“You rest easy, Sir Richard is ready to join and provide his assistance, we will move back and provide obstacles – obstacles for these Goblins”
“All Archer and Mage moves first followed by Knight and the fighters, we move slowly and make sure the Goblins can not move as they please” Warren continues to give his instructions.
As per Warren's orders all the adventurers moved following the formation, they all moved backwards decisively and also did not let their attention escape from the fortress.
Moments later began to sound the vibration – great vibration of the fortress, a sign that the Goblins began to launch their attacks.
But because from the first made the fortress has been planted with defensive stones so it will take some time to tear it down coupled with the defense skills of the adventurers, it has increased the durability and defense of the fort itself.
“The defensive fortress will hinder them for a while, keep moving make sure you guys stay alert, Mage land prepare your Magic barrier, followed by Mage fire, Mage water, and so on, Our Wind Mage and Illusion Mage will continue to do this round of skills until we meet Sir Richard”'s help
“Ya” reply all adventurers.
In a battle like this, Job Mage was a very reliable Job, as well as unreliable, why? since the Job Mage depended on who was the leader who ruled them, if the wise leader of the Mages was the key to victory then the Mages could also be the key to defeat.
Like Kiev's command, the Mages instantly gave all their best skills which ultimately put the Mages in an unreliable situation, due to the fact that AOE skills could not be done continuously, the Mages needed a different amount of time until they could reuse it.
Warren therefore told the Mages to take turns using their skills.
A question arises why Mages cannot decide for themselves what to do?.
Back at this type of battle, at large-scale battles, the decisions of the Mages narrowed down to almost no authority, why? Because one AOE skill can change the situation, so Mages are required to obey their leaders.
Therefore the Mage leader in a group was highly valued when a large-scale battle took place, unfortunately such a figure was present in Kiev's body for the Behemoth City adventurers.
“The Archers you attack the Goblins who attack through the side of the barrier, make sure no one comes close to us, the rest of the Fighting Job that will clear up if Archer and Mage are overwhelmed”
“Each leader”
In the midst of the retreat, Warren remembered Ashura who would give his help when the Goblin attack occurred, grabbed by the Sound Stone and immediately Warren contacted Ashura.
“What happened?” soon Ashura's voice was heard.
“Ashura, the Goblins are coming, the adventurers are moving backwards near the city, I beg your help”
-brakkk - brakk
-rawllll - - auhhhh
There was the sound of the fortress walls starting to break down, and the excited roars of the Goblins.
“What?” Ashura sounded surprised.
“I don't have much time, come immediately and help us” Warren immediately close his Sound Stone, and return giving his direction.
“All prepare” while moving home adventurers, especially Mage, prepare their skills.

“What's uncle?” Claude immediately asked when he saw the shocked expression Ashura was showing.
“A serious situation has occurred, I must come to help” Ashura immediately stand up and prepare to leave.
Claude instantly restrained Ashura's movements, “What did uncle mean? What state of affairs? What the hell's going on? I don't understand” even though Claude knows something's wrong, but doesn't know what it is.
“Ah I'm sorry, because I was too panicked to forget about you, listen in a moment there might be a wave of city residents who went to evacuate to the royal capital, he said, after you see them you go with them and take refuge with them in the capital, later after all the safe conditions are under control I will pick you up in the capital”
“Arghh I don't have time to explain but a group of beings are threatening Behemoth City and soon they will attack the city, I must immediately help the adventurers and the city army, I must immediately help the adventurers and the city army, while your uncle might be there to help the injured adventurers, considering he's an Alchemist his presence would be of great help”
“Then bring me uncle, at least until meet my uncle, I can help my uncle in the back row, although I can not make pills but for the medical field I know many things that can help”
This is what Ashura fears, he does not want to put Claude in the mess, “You .. can not you obey my request this time alone, I do not want to put yourself in danger”
“Please uncle, I just don't want to lose my family again, at least whatever happens I stand with my uncle” Claude remains adamant.
“Uncle rest assured, as long as I am with uncle Tanhill, I will not trouble uncle Ashura, uncle Tanhill is more than enough to take care of me, after all I have also improved my abilities, this is the right time to test it, for what I train if circumstances like this appear I just run and hide, I am not like that uncle” looks a radiance of determination in both eyes Claude.
“Hah .. alright” finally Ashura give up, “I remind again before helping others, make sure you are safe first, this is not playing – play, , the opponents we are facing will not tolerate anything, their priority is to exterminate humans, you must remember that” Ashura reminded.
“I'll remember all uncle” sayings Claude nodded really – really, no joke in his mind.
Ashura immediately carried Claude and immediately ran towards the city.
Meanwhile in the square Sir Richard's city was facing another problem. After Sir Richard declared a state of emergency and asked all of his citizens to evacuate, it turned out that the men of the city immediately gathered and were ready to fight together with him.
“We can't leave the responsibility of protecting this city to you only Sir Richard”
“Yes right, we are ready to risk our lives with you Sir Richard”
“Ya Sir Richard please take us with you”
“... ... ...”
Shouts for the sake of shouting sounded.
“Richard, we are ready when we leave?” from the eastern gate the alliance troops were already preparing.
“What should I do?” Richard held his own head, not expecting his citizens to do so.
Seeing this, George came over, “Sir, we can't stop the citizens from defending their homeland, let them help even though they know their help is limited, but they were ready to risk their lives” George tried to tell them what Behemoth City's rakyaks meant.
“But the problem is who leads them Sir George?” Richard was also not against the will of his citizens, but he did not have a reliable stock of commanders to lead these people.
“Sir Richard take it easy, for these citizens, let me just lead them, it's okay – what Sir?” George offered himself.
“You want to join the team? So what about those who will evacuate?”
“The evacuees have been taken care of by Sir Davos, Baron Lathias and Baron Trixie, the three of them already
starting the refugee process, and I think with the three of them alone is more than enough to organize the displaced people, while my job is to escort and ensure those who fight are safe,” George explained his role.
“You sure?” Richard reiterated.
“I'm sure Sir” George nodded.
“Alright then I leave them in your custody” Richard relented.
“Alright my people, you can join the army, and you will be in the leadership of Sir George prepare your spirit because this battle will not be easy we win” Richard gave his permission.
Suddenly the citizens became excited.
“Make sure you obey all the orders of Sir George otherwise you alone bear the consequences”
“Good Sir” replied in unison to the citizens.
“Yes, all of you are in the back row and follow the main troops” Richard immediately get on his horse and exclaim loudly “MAJU!!” his cry was heard until the east gate.
Richard deliberately used a little of his life energy so that his voice could be heard by all parties, so that they would no longer retreat time let him who would catch up with the troops in front.
Meanwhile Tanhill also joined the citizen army, with a meaningful smile Tanhill muttered, “Georgeous work
