The elders voiced their opinion as Vincent listened quietly.

After a few moments, he answered Severin's question.

"I heard from my grandfather that my family was from the Star Garden Sect… It has now turned into ruins after the previous successful Barbarian Invasion in the east." Vincent sighed as he continued. "Along with the destruction of the Sect was the fall of my Clan… As for my survival, it seems like my parents anticipated that they will have a low chance of survival so they made some arrangements with my grandfather to keep me away from harm."

"Did you say the Star Garden Sect?" Lady Yulia repeated as soon as she heard this.

Though she's wearing a white veil, Vincent can tell that she's currently frowning at the mention of that sect.

"Is there something wrong with that sect, Lady Yulia? It was destroyed about 15 years ago so I don't seem to recall much about them." Romain spoke as he was curious about Yulia's reaction.

"What? Are you telling me that I'm already old so I should remember everything about that fallen sect?"

"Eh? N-no! I was just incapable and didn't study enough about the history of the surrounding sects… If you ask me about the six large sects protecting the borders, I can certainly answer all of them." Romain immediately said as soon as he felt Yulia's deathly stare.

"Hmph… The Star Garden Sect is supposedly the pillar of the east. I'm not too sure why it collapsed so easily after the Barbarians Invaded. There were many rumors about it but many years had already passed and most of their descendants were already dead so no one really bothered to investigate too much…" Lady Yulia replied.

However, she seemed to have recalled something as she looked at Vincent.

"Ehem… I'm not saying that the destruction of the sect was suspicious or anything. They were just rumors. The Barbarians at that time were probably just too strong to be handled by a single sect. Unlike today where multiple Clans and small sects were helping each other, the Star Garden Sect at that time was acting alone to guard the eastern passage."

"I understand, Lady Yulia. In any case, I'm not here to investigate what happened in the past. At the very least, I would probably try and visit the Sect ruins once we reclaimed the land from the Barbarians…"

Vincent said but instead of seeing encouraging smiles and words of comfort, he saw them smiling helplessly at the mention of reclaiming the land.

"Uhmm… May I ask something about the land occupied by the Barbarians now?" Vincent asked.

"Ugh… I will be honest with you Vincent since this medallion looks legitimate. The Star Garden Sect Ruins have become the stronghold of the Barbarians right now… If you want to visit that place, you need to have the capabilities of expelling the three Barbarian Kings. At the moment, the Kingdom can't deal with this matter as you should be aware of the problem made by Grand Knight or Duke France."

Lady Yulia said.

"W-wait! Lady Yulia! The medallion is legitimate?! Will you really allow this person to marry Miss Lesley?!" Romain asked in shock.

It seems that he didn't care that much about the Star Garden Sect and focused on the medallion.

"It's not up to me to decide. In any case, we will ask Uncle… I mean, the Clan Head, once we returned. For now…" Lady Yulia's voice trailed as he looked at General Yves who just completed all the preparation.

The General gave his last orders to the soldiers who will be left in the castle before the convoy finally started moving.

"We'll continue our conversation later."

Soon, Vincent and Severin entered their carriage while Yulia and the others went to theirs.

As for Knight Claude, he rode his stallion as he guarded the carriage where the two experts are.

Inside the carriage, Vincent was thinking about the conversation he had with Yulia and the others.

He can already tell that even with the presence of the medallion, there are still people who weren't happy about it.

He was able to tell that it wasn't just Romain who was discontented by his revelation. He can similarly feel that Lady Yulia herself wasn't in favor.

However, in respect of their Clan Head, they decided to wait and learn the truth first.

"I didn't know that you have such plans in your mind, Vincent. To think that you're targeting our young miss…" Severin spoke as he revealed a teasing smile to Vincent.

Since Severin was only a hired expert serving the clan for many years and wasn't really a bloodline descendant of the Zemin family, he wasn't opposed to the possible marriage between him and Lady Lesley.

"I just didn't have the chance to tell you earlier, Sir Severin. In any case, can you tell me about the young miss?"

"Hmmm? What do you want to know? Do you want to make sure that she's not in love with someone else yet?"

"Ugh… Anything about her would be fine… I just don't want to be clueless before meeting her." Vincent smiled as he already imagined Miss Lesley to be gorgeous.

He can tell that Lady Yulia and Romain were part of the Clan's Main Branch or the descendants with Zemin's blood flowing in their veins.

They were all good looking which is probably already in their genes so he wouldn't expect anything less from Miss Lesley. However, what's even more important is her personality and how she's being viewed by other people.

"Hmm… Although I didn't have many interactions with the young miss, I can tell that she has a very strong personality… You can easily guess that since she's already on the frontlines leading the fight against the Barbarians… That should tell you a lot of things about her." Severin answered after a while.

"Y-you're right… I guess she's not easy to deal with…"

***

Several kilometers away from their convoy, the Fourth Camp where Lesley and the other forces of the eastern region are gathered, was in a state of panic!

There were fires everywhere as they seem to have been attacked by the barbarians unknowingly!

"Magicians with Water Element! Deal with the smoke and fire! Hurry!"

"Vice General Kyle and his squad are already chasing the culprit! Focus on removing the fire! Do not panic!"

"H-help! The smoke is weird! It's poisonous! Do not inhale!"

"Arrows! Take cover!"

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Soon, arrows started raining on them but were luckily blocked by an invisible shield.

"That's Miss Lesley's Wind Wall!"

One of the Blue Storm Soldiers recognized the unique Mana Art used to stop the arrows shot by the barbarians.

They immediately sighed in relief after recognizing her presence on the battlefield.

During the past few days that she has been on the front line, her incredible mastery in Wind Element had truly helped them a lot.

Although they also have dozens of Master Magicians on their side, none of them had a presence like her.

The others may be able to create fireballs or shoot strong mana arrows but they were not enough to affect the whole battlefield.

On the other hand, Lesley's Wind Mana Arts were all large-scale abilities that could affect a huge field.

"My team will handle the approaching barbarians! Lesley, gather your group and support us!" A young man wearing a knight's armor shouted as he led his subordinates to block the incoming barbarians.

His name is Xian from the Jung Clan. Although he wasn't an accomplished Master Magician as he can only convert his mana to a weak water element, his talents with sword and martial arts were still at the level at which he could fight three elite warriors of the barbarian tribe alone.

His combat skills are probably similar to those of veteran Magic Knights. If he adds the incredible weapons and accessories he has in battle, he's confident that he could face even five elite warriors at the same time.

Lesley, who was currently wearing a black magic robe and holding a scepter with a blue gem, didn't answer Xian's words and only looked at the distance.

She can see that there are hundreds of barbarians ahead.

"It's weird… I'm sure that Vice General Kyle's absence is part of their plan as a diversion. I'm expecting a full-blown battle as he and his team left. Hmmm… I wonder why there are only over three hundred barbarians coming at us… You two, do you have any idea?"

Lesley asked the two Arch Knights behind her. These two wouldn't normally get out of the clan but because of her insistence to join the fight against the invasion, her father had to make such arrangements.

They didn't answer immediately but observed the situation instead…

"You're right, young miss… Vice General Kyle was indeed led away to our camp by those sneaky barbarians. However, I noticed that even Vice General Reese and Arch Knight Paolo of the Santer Clan left the camp to follow a group of suspicious barbarians… Instead of eliminating us, I think that barbarians were going to deal with the Vice Generals first."

One of the Arch Knights said with a grim voice as he noticed several strong fluctuations of mana in the direction where the others left.

In short, the three hundred barbarians who were attacking them right now were only buying time to kill the other high-rank officials of the army!

"Tsk! Did we underestimate them?" Lesley frowned as the way these barbarians were fighting was completely different from what she heard before.
