While Hector's forces and Levi's army remained locked in their tense standoff, a separate battle unfolded in Mezorin. Barlia's relentless assault on Mezorin reaches a new height, proving them to be a formidable force to reckon with.
From the east of the city, General Victor takes the initiative to launch a swift attack first. After being put in a passive position since the beginning of the war, he decided to take advantage of Ryntum's unpreparedness and deal some damage.
Their tactics worked and left Ryntum scrambling to react. Ryntum thought with Fire Priest Gliibious's presence on their side can deter Barlia from acting actively on the battlefield.
But, they were wrong. Victor noticed how the Ryntum army began relying excessively on magical abilities user instead of their own acumen. They become too comfortable hiding behind that magic shield.
