“Of course, it’s settled,” Bellatrix said quickly, before flying out of the tent.
Time was flying by, and the fire in Misty Forest was gradually spreading inward, but it was still far from reaching the center of the forest.
Just after the sunset, the previously gentle breeze suddenly intensified, and a northern wind began to howl.
The wildfire that had been slowly burning suddenly intensified under the influence of strong winds.
The fire was burning along a 70-mile line, located just south of Misty Forest. With the north wind howling down, the flames quickly spread to both sides.
In no time at all, a seventy-mile-long fire line doubled in length, spreading over a hundred kilometers inward.
As night fell, the towering flames spread like a giant net of fire, extending east and west and reaching further north. It was like an incredibly massive demon beast, swiftly charging toward the center of the forest.
After another six hours, several female generals from the Boltzyn Legion soared into the sky from the dense forest. As they reached mid-air, the bright red flames immediately illuminated their faces.
A massive wave of heat, carried by the north wind, rushed toward them. They saw a towering inferno, over a hundred meters high and rising above the treetops in the distance, surging their way. Their expressions changed drastically in an instant.
“Hurry, come with me to put out the fire! Notify all the firefighters, quickly!”
After Evelyn gave the order, more than 30,000 soldiers filled cooking barrels with spring water following commands issued by several female generals. They rushed forward, carrying water buckets.
Because they couldn’t see the road clearly at night, many soldiers had spilled most of the water in their buckets before they had even run a few miles.
The soldiers rushed to the area closest to the fire and poured out water from the buckets.
Under the massive firewall that has stretched for hundreds of miles, throwing a bucket of water only extinguished a small cluster of flames, which quickly reignited.
Dozens of soldiers watched as the fire got closer and closer, feeling the intense heat. They shouted urgently, “The fire is too big, we can’t stop it. We can’t hold it back, run quickly!”
The soldiers who rushed forward to put out the fire started screaming and fleeing, but as they staggered backward, many of them fell to the ground.
The raging fire surged forward, completely consuming everything in its path, and the sound of agonized screams pierced the night sky.
At that moment, Evelyn, who was inside the tent, could feel the temperature rising rapidly. With a swift movement, favonovel.com dashed out of the tent and scared into the air.
When favonovel.com saw the sea of flames, favonovel.com eyes opened wide in shock.
“Run, quickly! Notify all soldiers to run!” Evelyn let out a hoarse roar, causing the 600,000 troops scattered around to finally start to flee.
The massive blaze was just almost a mile away from them and was rapidly approaching.
Faced with the intense fire, most of the soldiers threw away their weapons and armor to lighten their load and frantically fled north. However, many soldiers who thought they could outrun the inferno ended up being mercilessly engulfed by the raging flames.
***
Beyond Westpire City, which was several hundred kilometers away, soldiers from the 400,000-strong Vriweth Legion and the Black Tiger Legion were rapidly marching north across scorched earth.
The ground was still very hot, to the point where it could burn some soldiers, but Isaac had given strict orders to advance within a hundred kilometers behind the fire.
The once incredibly dense Misty Forest, now ravaged by fire, was left with only some bare, partially burned tree trunks, leaving most of the area exposed and visible.
This natural barrier was completely destroyed in a fire set by Isaac. From then on, there was no longer any barrier between the Seraphym Dynasty and the Boltzyn Dynasty.
