Countess Maresha, witnessing the approaching siege, issued commands to her defenders with a calm but firm voice.
Archers intensified their volleys, but Ren soldiers were instantly getting healed thanks to Aura Health regeneration.
Countess Maresha, Grand Master Albert, and Father Matthias exchanged grim looks as they saw the enemy soldiers recover from their wounds in a flash.
Grand Master Albert spoke with urgency, "The rumors were true … I thought it was only Baron Gareth, but even his soldiers can heal instantly."
Father Matthias shook his head in disbelief, his eyes wide with fear. "This is some sort of magic skill, but how are they able to sustain such a mass spell? It must need a lot of mana."
Countess Maresha clenched her fists, "It doesn't matter how they got it. What matters is how we stop them. We can't let them breach the walls. They will slaughter everyone in the city."
The defenders intensified their efforts, focusing on the most skilled enemy soldiers who seemed to be directing the assault.
They aimed to overwhelm these key figures, hoping that without their leadership, the enemy forces would falter.
Countess Maresha turned to Father Matthias, "Father, gather our mages and work on disrupting their magical regeneration. We need to find a weakness in their defenses."
Now Siege towers already set on city wall and battering rams already in fort the city gates.
"Charge!" Ren roared to his soldiers, his voice echoing across the battlefield. He raised his sword high, the metal gleaming in the sun.
He felt a surge of adrenaline as he led his men towards the city walls, ready to claim his prize.
Gareth Miller and Kael operated the battering rams. "One... Two. Three..."
"Bang!"
"Bang!" The city gate was smashed open by the relentless force of the rams, sending splinters flying in all directions.
As the gate crumbled, Ren's soldiers poured into the city, shouting and brandishing their weapons.
They met fierce resistance from the defenders, who fought with desperation to protect their homes and families.
"Kill them all!" Ren shouts.
"Hahahaha!" Kael laughs maniacally.
"Hmph!" Gareth didn't even use 100% of his power, he was too disdainful to deal with ants.
Countess Maresha watched the scene with horror, knowing that they had little chance of holding back the invaders.
She grabbed her sword and shield, ready to join the fray, "Grand Master Albert please deal that Baron Gareth."
Grand Master Albert nodded, "Don't worry Countess, I will kill him with my own hand."
He ran towards the gate, where Ren was waiting for him with a smirk.
"Lumos!" Grand Master Albert cast his divine spell, Lumos, which created a bright flash of light that blinded Ren and his soldiers.
He took advantage of their momentary confusion and charged at Ren, swinging his sword with great force.
Ren barely managed to block the attack, feeling the impact of Albert's blade on his arm.
[HP: 3200/3400] (HP Regen 40/second.)
[Chaotic Energy: 500/1000] (Chaotic Energy Regen 10/second.)
[Attribute
Strength: 170 (+170 Blood Pact) (1 Hour)
Agility: 100 (+100 Blood Pact) (1 Hour)
Intelligence: 100]
He gritted his teeth and counterattacked, slashing at Albert's chest.
Albert dodged the strike, but Ren followed up with a kick that sent him flying back.
"Tsk."
Albert landed on his feet, quickly regaining his balance. He saw Ren charging at him again, his sword glowing with chaotic energy.
"Guardian Of light!"
He raised his shield that already buff with divine spell, ready to block the incoming attack.
"Clang!"
Ren and Grand Master Albert now face each other, Grand Master Albert said to Ren. "Bastar where Spear of light!"
Ren smirks and replies. "You'll find it in the afterlife, old man!"
"You brat!" Grand Master Albert was furious that Ren had mocked him.
Ren and Grand Master Albert clashed again, their swords sparking as they met. Ren was faster and stronger, but Albert was more experienced and skilled.

Father Matthias brings a group of mages who attempt to use a curse spell to prevent the Oscana Barony troops from being instantly healed.
Father Matthias and the group of mages, chanting in unison, began casting a powerful curse spell aimed at disrupting the Aura Health regeneration of the Oscana Barony troops.
Their voices resonated with ancient incantations, weaving a magical net of interference.
The air around Ren's soldiers shimmered with ethereal energy as the curse took hold.
However, the chaotic energy blocks their curse spell, as anti mage they were supposed to resist to any magic spell.
The mages struggled against the chaotic energy, beads of sweat forming on their brows.
"This is useless, can an anti mage resist any spell?" Father Matthias, realizing the resistance of Ren's soldiers to magical interference, gritted his teeth in frustration.
The anti-magic properties of the chaotic energy were proving formidable, making the mages' attempts to disrupt Aura Health regeneration ineffective.
Gareth Miller notice the mage trying to use curse spell, he quickly reacted, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the group of mages attempting to cast the curse.
With a swift and disdainful wave of his hand, Gareth unleashed a surge of chaotic energy directed at the mages.
The energy twisted and distorted the magical currents, disrupting the intricate patterns of their spellcasting.
The mages, caught off guard by the intensity of Gareth's counteraction, staggered backward, their concentration shattered.
Gareth grinned, the chaotic energy swirling around him as he taunted, "Foolish mages, did you really think your feeble spells could affect us? This chaotic energy is beyond your understanding."
Father Matthias, observing the failed attempt, quickly adapted to the situation. "We can't directly counter their chaotic energy. Focus on creating barriers to protect our troops. We need to endure their assault while finding another way to break through."
"Milady, I'm sorry we can't find their weakness, even the curse spell won't work." Father Matthias said to Countess Maresha.
Countess Maresha, though disheartened by the failed attempt to disrupt the enemy's magical regeneration, maintained her composure.
She nodded at Father Matthias, understanding the situation.
"Father, do not blame yourself. We adapt to the challenges before us. We must protect our people and the city," she replied, her eyes still fixed on the ongoing battle.
