章 73: Mafan

The black knights screamed in pain while holding on the wall because the fire ants bit their exposed hands and face and even worked their way inside the men's clothes. Some men let go of their hold and fell in that instant.

The alerted guards ran and lifted the torches to where the shout came from and to their amazement, they saw a swarm of fire ants walking on air. But they understood what that meant. Ming had warned them on the possibility that the enemies might try climbing under a cloaking spell. 

The guards didn't delay and struck the spears to where the ants were. However, the black knights abruptly jumped down before the spear hit them and dashed away, shrieking. 

The guards didn't run after them but they reported the incident to Ming. The general heard it too but didn't suspect Mafan, thinking the adviser was still in Flamefort City, Goding's capital city. He thought General Hester instigated it and headed back to the camp.
