'White Tiger?' Vincent heard the man as he looked at Tara.

"Let's check the situation…"

"Alright."

The two then left the carriage as they instructed Rem to get the carriage out of this crowded street.

"Hmph! We are from the Primal Sword Sect and all of our possessions including the Magic Beast is to be sent to the Arms City. Not even a Baron like you has the right to take a single thing from us."

Vincent heard the familiar voice and recognized that it was from Elder Han. Currently, there were two groups confronting each other, and although the Primal Sword Sect has the advantage in number, they didn't dare to act rashly within this city.

They can't just harm this noble since their Sect will bear responsibility if this has blown out. The nobles command an incredible authority after all. Even if Leo is only a Baron, he can certainly mobilize an army of magicians from his territory…

On the other hand, Elder Han also knows that he can't just back off since he has a mission.

"This Baron Leo is not simple… He's actually a Master Magician. He's already starting to convert the mana in the surroundings into his wind-type Mana Art." Tara commented as she could see the changes from the mana fluctuation Leo was emitting.

Vincent frowned at this since he was unsure how to help Elder Han's group as well.

"Tara, can you help them secretly?" Vincent asked in a low voice.

"It's not easy… The Baron's escort seems to be a Celestial Being as well."

"What?"

Vincent was shocked as he immediately looked at the woman behind the plump Baron. There were four knights behind the baron but there is only one woman among them.

She has long red hair and she appears to be a normal female knight beside the Baron.

She was not emitting any Mana Fluctuations but her sharp gaze was starting to affect even Elder Han as it seems.

"What is going on here?!"

As soon as the battle was about to break out between the groups, someone finally came to interrupt them.

He's a bearded middle-aged man wearing complete body armor except his helmet was currently being carried by his subordinate behind.

He appears to be a Knight with a high position considering how he wears purple and gold armor. In addition, he was followed by a dozen of knights as well.

"Oh! So it is Sir Serge!" Baron Leo immediately retracted his blood lust as soon as he saw the Knight who was exuding a powerful aura.

Needless to say, this knight is a Mana Practitioner and definitely a Magic Knight.

"Baron Leo… The Count is already looking for you. Don't you think that it is rude to make him wait any longer?" Serge spoke with his deep voice.

As soon as Serge mentioned the Count, Baron Leo flinch a little as he regretfully looked at the black carriage protected by the people from the Primal Sword Sect.

The black carriage obviously contains the White Tiger Magic Beasts that he was longing for.

Suddenly, an idea came to him as he immediately spoke to the Knight.

"Ehem… Sir Serge, it's not that I want to disobey Count Magnus, it's just that these people from a small sect were trying to transport a Magic Beast to the Arms City… I'm just worried that they won't be able to protect it along the way so I'm offering my help."

Baron Leo shamelessly said as he gestured to the Primal Sword Sect's disciples.

The crowd, of course, knows that he was lying but none of them spoke out since the baron is still an influential figure. He's also known to be a petty person so he will certainly get his revenge once he has managed to get out of this situation.

As expected, no one pointed out his lies and Elder Han can only speak for themselves.

"Hmph! I thought that you wanted to steal the White Tiger? This Magic Beast is under our protection and will be sent safely to Arms City. If you dare stop us, you will have to face the wrath of the Hailstorm General!"

Elder Han shouted.

Vincent has no idea of the general he just mentioned but he noticed that everyone who heard this name seemed to be shocked.

He's unsure whether the Hailstorm General was actually a terrifying figure or someone who shouldn't be in the Arms City based on their expression.

Vincent wanted to ask someone about the general but before he could do that, he already heard the crowd talking about it.

"The Hailstorm General? Does it mean that the situation in the east is not good?"

"Perhaps, the Barbarians have already invaded?"

"Isn't this bad? If he's there, there must be a Barbarian King among the invaders…"

"Ugh… Perhaps we should start storing food supplies."

"There might even be a conscription soon…"

Vincent listened to their conversation and realized that this Hailstorm General is probably only being dispatched if there are powerful enemies like the Barbarian King.

It is good news that someone could fight the Barbarian King but it is also bad news since the invasion this year appears to be a large-scale operation.

After all, in the past invasion attempts of the barbarians, the mobilization of various Mana Arts Practitioners from different Sects, Royal Knights, and Nobles Army was already more than enough.

Elder Han finally sighed in relief after diffusing the heated confrontation between their group and the baron.

Knight Serge also decided to take the Baron and leave the place immediately. However, Vincent can tell from the Baron's eyes that he was still not over about this.

"Hmmm..."

Vincent can see that Elder Han didn't like to reveal the situation in the Arms City as well. It seems that he's afraid that it could cause panic among the citizens.

"Let's go!"

Elder Han commanded his group as they headed towards the eastern gate of the city.

Vincent and Tara also found Rem as they followed the entourage.

However, instead of going out of the city, Elder Han and his group stopped in front of a small house…

"Divine Doctor! We have completed our preparation. We have also bought all the things that you requested… We can now head to the Arms City."
