Heidi soon located the Mage with an afro after following Mo Fan's shadow.
The guy had also been caught in the lightning explosion. His hair was scorched black; he totally resembled a miserable beggar covered in soot.
The shadow snuck up to the Battlemage and swiftly constrained the man. The Dark Material entered his body and impaired his ability to move.
”Protect the major general!” a few Advanced Battlemages yelled when they saw someone approaching their commander.
As soon as Heidi landed beside the major general, almost every soldier nearby raced in her direction. Heidi did not expect the guy to be so important to the Battlemages.
The more important the man was, the more valuable he was as a hostage! It was meaningless to keep fighting the Battlemages, and besides, they were currently in the enemy's territory. They could easily sentence the foreigners as guilty and execute them on the spot by accusing them of attacking the military. It was very common in many countries!
”Battle Symphony!”
Heidi had generated many strange notes that had laid dormant in her surroundings. When Heidi let out a loud cry, the notes turned into deadly tones surging into the ears of the Battlemages!
Loud rumbles erupted within the ears of the Battlemages. Those that were approaching her cried out in agony!
The Sound Element was the most difficult to defend against. It could produce terrifying tones in the eardrums or even the minds of its targets, and drive them mad!
Blood leaked out from the ears and nose of the Battlemages as they fell to the ground. It made little difference even when they tried to cover their ears.
Heidi was already going easy on them, and did not plan to kill the soldiers. It would be very easy for her to eliminate a few Advanced Mages with her strength.
After the Battle Symphony knocked several Advanced Battlemages to the ground, the Intermediate Battlemages no longer dared to come any closer. Heidi noticed the major general was unable to move, so she lifted him with Telekinesis and stepped over the fallen soldiers to quickly regroup with Mo Fan and Mu Bai.
”They caught the general!”
”Captain Saks!”
A few Ice Mages in brown-yellow uniforms completely lost their minds. They had not expected to lose so miserably to a few young Mages, nor expect their commanding officer to be taken hostage by the enemy!
The young major general, Gangma, was a very important person in the military. Even though his cultivation was not impressive, he had made huge contributions in battles. Even Captain Saks in the sky went mad when he saw the general falling into the enemy's hands. He immediately cursed at his men on the ground!
Vani was not stupid, either; he used everything he had to keep Saks busy when he saw the captain trying to rescue the important person that Mo Fan and Heidi had captured!

”Mu Bai, your wolves are going to disappear soon,” Mu Bai said.
Mo Fan's energy was being consumed at an insane rate. The Beast Tide was a powerful spell, but it had its limits.
The Enormous White Wolves were the first to disappear. Lunar-white cracks appeared close to them, dragging them back to the Summoning Plane.
Without the Enormous White Wolves' messing around, the Battlemages soon regathered into formations. Huge Ice Spells strengthened by powerful gusts of wind closed in on Mo Fan and the others. The dusty wind and blinding snow constantly drove Mo Fan, Heidi, and Mu Bai back. They no longer had any chance to move closer to Zhao Manyan and the others who were trapped in the ice.
”Let's retreat for now, I doubt they will do anything to Zhao Manyan and the others as long as we are holding this guy as a hostage,” Mo Fan suggested.
He might have disrupted the enemy's formation, but the troop was still a great threat to them. It had at least a dozen Advanced Mages, and the rest of the Intermediate Mages could line up in formations; being in a formation would either strengthen their spells or provide them with special effects when it reached a certain number of Mages...
If the others were not trapped in ice after they were taken by surprise, they might have stood a chance against the troop. Zhao Manyan's defense would allow Mo Fan to keep casting his destructive spells, but he could not help but admit it was not the first time he was touched by Zhao Manyan's intelligence!
”Vani is still fighting the guy,” Heidi said, pointing into the sky.
”Let's not worry about him,” Mo Fan said mercilessly.
