BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419: Support
"That would be usually a good thing, if you hadn\'t your forces split, aren\'t the dragons gaining terrain day by day?" Rain asked.
Josar looked away since he couldn\'t bring himself to confirm that. It was pretty evident considering the number of people in their capital… it was only a matter of time before they run out of resources for so many people, after all and once that happens, it will be a checkmate.
Rain realzist that the dragons, particularly the younger ones, seemed to be seizing the opportunity presented by the Magic People\'s focus on the human conflict. In their usual territorial disputes, these young dragons would have rivals of other clans, vying to prove their worthiness and earn respect.
However, with the Magic People\'s attention divided between two formidable adversaries, the dragons saw a chance to expand their territories and assert dominance.
It was as if these young dragons were engaged in a silent competition among themselves. Winning battles against foes who were simultaneously contending with other threats carried less prestige. Thus, they wanted to demonstrate their prowess by seizing more ground and resources, all while the Magic People struggled to defend their borders against the relentless onslaught from two sides.
In this tumultuous environment, Rain could envision the dragons competing fiercely, each one striving to outdo the others and make their mark in the annals of dragon history.
"Annals…" Rain thought and then chuckled.
Rain anticipated another troubling scenario where the young dragons might choose to enter the battle, not out of necessity but for the sheer excitement of it. Joanis appeared to be waiting for this moment, knowing it was inevitable. However, Rain realized that the real problem would arise when some of these young dragons met their demise during the conflict.
Inevitably, the adult dragons, particularly the parents and relatives of the young ones, would be consumed by a mix of grief and anger. Their fury wouldn\'t be directed solely at the Magic People; it would extend to the human forces responsible for the deaths of their kin.
This situation had the potential to unleash absolute chaos, as the adult dragons, armed with their tremendous power and seething emotions, would join the fray seeking vengeance.
Rain could vividly imagine the catastrophic consequences of such an escalation. The already turbulent battlefield would transform into a maelstrom of destruction, presenting an unprecedented challenge for both the Magic People and the human armies.
"By the way, I noticed something unusual among the martial artists, you should see if you can learn it," Rain said and then explained how they could heal fast. "It is probably a technique of one of the evolutions of the Healer\'s path, so it shouldn\'t be impossible for you to learn it."
It was better to change the mood instead of worrying about that, so Rain told Terra how their technique worked… the only problem was the fact that the anti magic bombs probably could cancel the spheres of health.
"That certainly is interesting… it would be nice if we had the chance to practice it," Terra rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Unfortunately, it seems that we are going to get busy…"
Some movements in the camp began to spread around and soon the magic people noticed what was going. Rain and Terra went to check it and it seemed that the human army was splitting in the middle of the night… several battalions were heading North and South.
"What are they doing?" Josar suddenly approached and asked nervously. "Are they baiting us?"
"No… they probably are planning to target villages, towns and cities in those directions," Rain relied after thinking for a short while. "They probably are starting to consider a siege and they don\'t want you guys getting resources from anywhere else."
Josar bit his lips in annoyance to the point that it began to bleed… he was truly bad at imagining the worst case scenarios, since they were always on the attack.
In any case, that was a problem for Rain too since he couldn\'t stay away from home for that long. In the end, they only had one option… making the enemies stop or attack their headquarters and claim the heads of Joanis and the king, but that was easier said than done.
"You should stop them, wear their resources and soldiers," Rain said. "I know that you don\'t have the luxury to be that reckless since you are fighting the enemies on the other side, but you don\'t have any other option."
"Won\'t they be waiting for that?" Josar asked.
"They will be waiting for anything," Rain replied. "Still, you can\'t let them do what they want."
"Rain, can\'t you do that thing that you did to find Branden in order to find the weak spots in the enemies formation?" Terra asked after thinking for a while. "If the enemy keeps enduring rain, cold and bad terrain, their morale will drop."
"... I suppose it isn\'t completely out of question with the coral spear," Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "However, I can\'t do all that alone and for long."
Josar learned what the coral spear could do, and he was astonished when he heard that the sea emperor gave Rain the weapon… it was more efficient in terms of potion usage if Rain used most of them… Josar was worried about Rain becoming even stronger, but it couldn\'t be helped… rebuilding that region of the country will take too long.
"Do it, we will support you," Josar said.

Rain scratched the back of his head… he was helping too much. He came to offer some assistance, but it will be troublesome if he becomes the hero of the war for the magic people too.
