“I’m Wildstorm Shaman Zonah from Lei City,” the Brown general replied, studying Lt. Colonel Mason carefully.

“Wildstorm Shaman Zonah?” Lt. Colonel Mason’s face paled at the mention of the name.

The man called the Wildstorm Shaman was quite popular in this region. People who were active in Banlo City, Lei City, and Half-Ridge Mountain City had all heard his name!

Lt. Colonel Mason did not think someone like him would join the Brown Rebels!

Lt. Colonel Mason was only a little military instructor of the Federation Army, in charge of training Basic Mages into soldiers. He was a nobody compared to a reputable Mage whose name was known across several major cities.

People in the bars were always discussing the Commander-level creatures that the Windstorm Shaman had killed recently. No one would bother discussing what Lt. Colonel Mason had done!

To think that he was going to fight someone like the Windstorm Shaman in a duel. Lt. Colonel Mason did not believe he could withstand a single attack from his opponent!

“If this guy is in our way, we won’t be able to destroy the watchtowers,” Mu Bai told Mo Fan softly.

“Mm, he’s not weak either,” Mo Fan nodded.

As Mo Fan and Mu Bai were talking softly, Captain Benson suddenly took a few steps forward in a fit of rage.

“You’re being too full of yourself. Your reputation is only built on the exaggerating words of the drunks in the bars. You are no match against me in a real fight!” Captain Benson tightened his legs and ordered his mount to charge at Zonah.

Zonah did not bother moving, his expression disdainful. “That only shows how ignorant you are!” The Wind Rope Zonah was weaving with his fingers grew bigger.

The Savage Bull charged forward with lightning speed. Captain Benson was most likely a Lightning Mage. He had strengthened the Savage Bull’s charge with his Lightning Magic.

The Wind Robe twisted rapidly and grew into a Wind Spinning Top the size of a three-story building.

The ropes tied to the Wind Spinning Top lashed in all directions with extraordinary strength. The Savage Bull was severely injured before it could even reach Zonah.

Captain Benson was in a terrible spot now, caught in the Wind Spinning Top. The winds kept whipping him as he was spinning in the tornado, like a criminal being flogged on a rack.

The Riders gasped.

Captain Benson was the strongest member of their troop, yet he had been defeated by the enemy with a single spell. They were obviously not on the same level!

“I told you I didn’t want to waste my time on a piece of trash like you, yet you insisted on asking for your death!” Zonah said coldly.

The Wind Spinning Top rose into the sky when Zonah waved his hand, bringing both Captain Benson and his Savage Bull with it. The two finally fell to the ground after a few more seconds.

They were badly mutilated and were grasping onto their last breaths.

“Captain!” the Riders panicked. There were two hundred men left, yet they were too scared to make a move against the fierce Wind Mage now.

“Old Zhao, take the Riders with you and destroy the watchtowers!” Mo Fan ordered.

“Alright,” Zhao Manyan nodded.

“Mu Bai, go check on Captain Benson,” Mo Fan directed him.

Mu Bai was already on his way, and quickly helped Captain Benson up. The guy was still alive. His magic Armor had protected him from the fall.

“You won’t die as long as I’m here. Don’t worry,” Mu Bai told Captain Benson, who was looking at him with wide eyes.

Captain Benson’s face was covered in blood. His expression was saying he did not trust Mu Bai.

If the enemy general had inflicted serious injuries on a captain like him so easily, no one here could possibly leave in one piece!

Captain Benson regretted his intention to achieve some meritorious deeds for the army. He knew the Brown Rebels would surely send out their strong Mages after their defenses were broken, but the Windstorm Shaman was a lot stronger than he had thought!

Mo Fan turned to Lt. Colonel Mason. “Do you still want to fight him?”

Lt. Colonel Mason was feeling uneasy.

He was even weaker than Captain Benson in terms of strength. Both Captain Benson and his Savage Bull were sent into the sky by the enemy’s Wind Magic. Lt. Colonel Mason would not last for more than a second!

However, he suddenly found his courage when he recalled how strong Mo Fan was in the swamp.

If his men who had received casual blessings from Forneus were already so strong, he must be unstoppable, since he was the true successor of Forneus!

“I’ll handle the Windstorm Shaman myself!” Lt. Colonel Mason stepped forward with an imperious demeanor.

“Sir, you are just an Intermediate Mage who is slightly stronger than normal people,” Lieutenant Cory reminded him quickly, rubbing his nose-stud.

“So what? I’m blessed by Forneus!” Lt. Colonel Mason declared confidently.

Lt. Colonel Mason raised his hands as he stepped forward. The others had a feeling he could actually burn the woods over a few kilometers into ashes after seeing his fearless temperament!

Most surprisingly, even Zonah took a few steps back when he saw Lt. Colonel Mason approaching him.

The Brown Rebels were constantly collecting information. According to their scouts, this Lt. Colonel Mason had been making worthy contributions starting at the battle in Banlo City. Not only did he kill Bucker the Necromancer in the swamp, he even broke through the sturdy defenses of their base with ease!

The guy was a dark horse of the Federation Army, without a doubt!

Even if he only had the Aura of an Intermediate Mage and even lacked a Domain, Zonah did not dare lower his guard around him.

Mo Fan was utterly speechless when he saw what was going on.

Enough with your farce, I’m begging you!

This Windstorm Shaman has to be a high-level officer among the Brown Rebels. How should I deal with him?, Mo Fan thought. Perhaps the Flying Creek Snow Wolf can do the favor…

Mo Fan did not want to expose his strength, and secretly tore a Rift open to Summon the Flying Creek Snow Wolf from the Summoned Beast Plane.

“Oh Forneus, give me power!” Lt. Colonel Mason shouted.

Mo Fan immediately ordered the Flying Creek Snow Wolf to dash through the air at the right time.

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf jumped across the Savage Bulls’ corpses on the ground and lunged at Zonah like a ray of cold light.

Zonah focused and realized it was a Commander-level Creature. He decisively evaded it with his Wind Magic and dodged the Flying Creek Snow Wolf’s consecutive attacks from four different directions.

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf could attack five times in a row, leaving an afterimage every time he sped up and executed his next move. Lt. Colonel Mason could only see five afterimages in front of him!

“My goddess, you have transformed into a wolf to help me!” Lt. Colonel Mason dropped to his knees, overcome by religious awe.
