While Velian was fighting with adventurers, Delvi and her group were starting to fight with all the kingdom troops.
Duke Mason was unpleasantly surprised by the strength these rebels showed in the fight, because of their fighting style and battle sense.
"Who are you, people? Are you from a different kingdom?" Mason wanted to know their origin no matter what.
"Are you deaf, Old man? I told you it won't matter just focus on the fight," Delvi waved her sword which she got from Velian the day before the fight. She was honestly surprised by the performance of the sword.
Delvi had no idea how he got such a fine sword but it was the first gift she got from her brother, so she wholeheartedly accepted it without any question.
Mason was getting more and more frustrated with the battle because his cavalry unit was utterly destroyed by the archers, who were shooting from the wall and he didn't get shot by an archer because Delvi was fighting with him.
The infantry who remained after sending to support the battle with Empire was so weak and amateur that some of them were getting utterly crushed by the so-called rebel army.
For some reason, few soldiers in the army gave up the fight even before it started and joined the rebel army. It wasn't a great number but still, it greatly affected the performance of the Rapidclaw army.
Mason didn't know that they were the people from the alliance and the remaining alliance soldiers on the Velian side convinced them to join them.
"Dammit! I will be a laughing stock for nobles if I lose to some rebel army," Mason grumbled.
Delvi was constantly showering him with her magic spells and sword attacks, and he almost got defeated a few times.
Even though Delvi was having the advantage right now if she had to face Mason alone without the support from archers, it would be a challenging fight even for her.
Mason did become a Duke in the Rapidclaw kingdom for a reason. Even though strength was not the main criterion, when choosing the nobles, Mason still had a good considerable base with both money and strength.
His ducal family had served the Rapidclaw kingdom since its beginning, so they had a rather good reputation in the kingdom.
Mason saw his troops getting absolutely destroyed by Delvi's army. He thought about retreating for a moment but, his pride got in the way so he didnt wants to give the order to go back.
Delvi and Mason we're exchanging sword attacks like crazy until Delvi suddenly freezes causing her to get a scratch on her arms.

Delvi heard a sound inside her head which caused her to freeze but, she quickly took a defensive position.

[Re: initiating the Bestowal]
"What's happening?" She thought looking at the confused Mason.
[Delviny Bersa changed to Delviny Keller]
"Keller? Isn't that the surname, brother used to do businesses?" Delvi was confused but, she wasn't free enough to think about it freely.
[Delviny is advised to go to a safe place for the bestowal of the blessing]
If Velian was here, he could have easily noticed this was the voice of Luna, who was rather silent these days.
Mason was highly confused because she suddenly started to act like she was dreaming but he took the advantage of it and decided to retreat a little.
If he fights her in this condition, Mason could have won the fight but the battle will be been catastrophic for the kingdom's army.
Norman was fighting rather well with Remi giving her many injuries. Since Norman was of a higher rank than Remi, he had a good advantage against her.
Even though, they were fighting both of them kept an observant eye on their surroundings to see the others.
Remi saw Mason giving the order to retreat but, she didn't know why Delvi let him go. Norman wanted to finish this as soon as possible but, he was feeling rather unconfident seeing the strength of their army. Norman decided to go with the orders of the duke and go back to the camp.
Remi tried to stop him but, she couldn't because his attacks were too powerful and fast for her to deal with.
Unlike the situation with Remi and Delvi, Juno was killing the commanders and soldiers of the Rapidclaw kingdom left and right. The army under her was like a hungry beast unleashed after years of starvation. The army of the Rapidclaw had no chance to survive their attacks plus the archers.
More than half of the men in the Rapidclaw kingdom were either injured or dead by the attack of Velian's troops.
"Sir, what do we do about those who couldn't retreat?" One of the remaining commanders asked from Norman.
"Leave them, we lost this battle, let's just meet with duke first," Norman was feeling rather down getting defeated two times by the same group.
"Dammit! How are they so strong?" He cursed looking at the city.
But before he could reach the campsite, he saw a bright blue colour coming from the direction of where the adventurers decided to stay.
"What the hell is that?"
"So bright!"
The people in the Rapidclaw army were panicked looking at it but, those who were in the city knew about the famous blue flame.
Delvi especially was impressed by her brother's power again but she was feeling rather dizzy after she heard that sound.
She was about to fall to the ground but someone quickly lifted her without letting her fall.
At first, Delvi was going to attack whoever touched her but after seeing who it was she automatically calmed down.
"Good job sister, You should rest, go back to sleep," Velian's words were like the signal for her to fall asleep, as soon as she heard his voice, Delvi quickly fell asleep.
Velian quickly lifted her and took her back to the city after looking out for Remi who was injured a lot.
Remi was worried about her friend but, after Velian told her that she was only unconscious, Remi calmed down a little.
A few died on Velian's side too but the casualties on his side were ten times less than the Rapidclaw army. The army was cheering while taking back the injured and dead back to the city before going back.
Some were crying while looking at the dead bodies of their close people but, Velian felt a little sad looking at all the people but, he didn't regret letting them handle this because if he handled everything on his own, then someday the people in this territory might become useless for him, so he decided to pay the proper respect to the dead and help the injured.
