Moon remounted, settling into position and gripping the reins firmly. His staff materialised in his free hand, fire already gathering at its tip as he prepared Explosive Flame.
Moon took one last look at the gap in the siege lines—approximately two hundred meters of exposed ground between their current position and the relative safety of the wall's defensive zone.
He had to cover two hundred meters filled with level fifteen to twenty beasts with a mount that couldn't defend itself.
"On my signal," Moon murmured, channelling mana. "We go fast. Don't stop for anything. I will try to protect you."
Mirage's muscles tensed beneath him, ready.
Moon raised his staff and released three Explosive Flames in rapid succession toward the cluster of beasts blocking their path.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Humans and beasts in the vicinity all turned toward Moon and his charging horse. The explosions had announced their presence to everyone within a hundred-meter radius, marking him as a target.
