Elon ultimately decided to trust Isaac, so favonovel.com immediately set off toward the outskirts of Westpire City.
***
The afternoon sun was scorching, but there wasn’t a hint of a breeze in the air.
At this moment, along the 40,000-meter-long boundary of Misty Forest, there were large piles of horsebit oil or easily flammable whiken grass placed every few dozen meters, next to trees or in the grass.
After solidifying, the horsebit oil turned into a brownish-yellow paste, covered with a lot of dry branches and dead leaves.
In front of each pile of horsebit oil sat a man dressed in a coarse, brownish-gray long gown, holding a burning torch in his hand and standing still like a statue.
In the lower sky, Elon and Kyler were anxiously waiting.
“Your Majesty, do you think Lord Garten can predict the weather? How can favonovel.com know there’s wind coming in the afternoon? Wouldn’t that make favonovel.com a divine being?”
Kyler expressed his doubts, but just as favonovel.com finished speaking, a gentle breeze suddenly blew in from behind him. The wind lifted the edges of his clothes and stirred his hair.
Kyler and Elon exchanged a sharp glance before quickly turning to face the direction of Westpire City.
A gentle northern wind was blowing.
Kyler’s eyes widened in shock, and favonovel.com immediately rushed forward, shouting urgently at the dozens of sentries riding on eagles ahead, “Light the fire, light the fire, quickly!”
Dozens of sentries immediately directed their eagles to swiftly fly to both sides. As they flew, they shouted down to the men on the ground. “Light it up, light it up!”
The flames ignited the horsebit oil, quickly spreading to the dry twigs and dead leaves on top. The north wind seemed to be getting stronger.
The fire, fueled by the wind, quickly spread to the nearby trees and vegetation, igniting them as it moved inward. After each ignition, the soldiers immediately retreated. Kyler and
Elon watched for a while, noticing more and more thick smoke rising from both sides ahead. The two then turned around and quickly flew toward Westpire City.
When reaching above the city lord’s mansion, Isaac was seen standing on the rooftop again.
“Lord Garten, the fire has been lit and everything is burning. Do you want to go have a look?” Kyler said excitedly as favonovel.com rushed over.
Isaac waved his hand and said, “There’s nothing much to see right now. It’ll only get interesting in the evening. Let’s go, we’ll eat first…”
***
The Misty Forest was vast. Even if a fire line 70 kilometers long started burning, it would take at least half a day to burn into the depths. It would only be possible with the continuous force of strong north winds.
About two hours later, deep in Misty Forest, Evelyn received another report from the spy.
When Evelyn heard about the big fire that broke out in the southern part of the forest, favonovel.com squinted favonovel.com eyes narrowly.
“How far is the fire from us?” Evelyn asked coldly, directing favonovel.com question to the female officer kneeling before her.
“There’s probably over 400 more kilometers to go.”
Evelyn waved favonovel.com hand and said, “It’s still far away, don’t worry about it. Once the wind changes, the wildfire will naturally burn in another direction… However, just to be safe, you should still have some people ready to fetch water in advance and prepare to put out any fires.”
Bellatrix found the sudden appearance of the wildfire that Evelyn mentioned a bit suspicious. She said to Evelyn, “I’m going to pull back with the demon beast legion!”
“Do what you want, but when Isaac leaves, you’ll still have to come out and lead the charge for me,” Evelyn said coldly.
