The army was gradually left behind by Mofan and his crew as they traveled deeper into the Bargo Land.
It was difficult to keep a Space Mage who was extremely adept at Blink, let alone someone like Mofan and Heidi, who could rely on each other's strength. The third-tier Blink allowed them to leave the enemy far behind in a short period, even though many of the soldiers were capable of flying.
The biggest threat to Mofan and his crew was most likely the Super Mage, Saks. Saks and Vani were nowhere to be seen, but Mofan, Heidi, Mubai, and Apas were relieved of the pressure.
Around half an hour later, they managed to shake off the soldiers that were chasing after them in the air.
It was not that the soldiers with Wind Wings and Wing Magic Equipment were slow, but Mofan could easily turn them into ashes with a single Lightning Bolt. After a few times, the soldiers that could fly no longer dared to come any closer.
Mofan and Heidi were both capable of Blink. If the soldiers could not keep an eye on them like a hawk, they would lose track of them in the blink of an eye. The Bargo Land was not a flat land, either. There were some hills, hills, and desert vegetation … it was not too difficult for them to find a place to hide.
An hour after they shook off the Battlemages, Mubai noticed a figure sprinting toward them rapidly from around a kilometer behind them. The man's speed was quite intimidating.
"It's Vani, he's here too!" Mofan recognized the man.
Vani soon arrived in front of the group. His handsome face was completely disheveled. His clothes were in tatters. His back, chest, legs, and shoulders were covered in wounds of varying degrees. Some were burned by the flames, some were burned by the strong light, and some were frozen by the frost …
"How could you be so disloyal!?" Vani's face was covered in dust. He was slightly angry.
"If we don't leave now, we'll all be wiped out. That won't do anyone any good. Only by taking one of them as a hostage will we have room to maneuver around," Mofan said.
"I didn't say that. You should tell me if you want to retreat. I almost died at the hands of those hot-tempered soldiers!" Vani yelled.
"Oh, oh, I thought you saw us retreating. Besides, you're a Super Mage. You won't be able to take on so many of them, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to leave," Mofan said.
Vani was furious, but he knew it was not the time to be splitting up. His students had been captured by the Egyptian army. They were alone in the middle of nowhere. He had no idea what to do!
"Treat your wounds first. You might die if your wounds worsen," Heidi reminded Vani.
Vani panted as he sat down. Just as he was about to retrieve some medicine from his backpack, he realized that his compressed backpack had been destroyed during the battle.
In addition to his backpack, his belongings were in pieces too. He did not even have a proper identity in Egypt. No one would even bother to look for him when he went to the embassy.
"Here, since you've done a great job, I'll save some for you. These things are very expensive," Mofan took out a bottle of Elemental Medicine.
The Elemental Potions were unique to the Parthenon Temple. The Elemental Potions could heal the wounds of the Fire Element, Light Element, and Ice Element. Whenever the Parthenon Temple's finances were in the red, they would sell the Elemental Potions to make up for the shortfall.
Xinxia had prepared a pouch made of snakeskin for Mo Fan. Vani had indeed helped the team deal with a lot of pressure. Otherwise, they would not have been able to take down Gangma, since he did not have the strength of a zombie.
"Thank you, thank you!" Vani calmed down when he saw Mofan giving him such an expensive medicine.
"You seem to have a lot of these Parthenon's sacred herbs?" Heidi asked with a confused look.
Only someone close to Parthenon, or someone from the Hall of the Goddess, would be able to get their hands on these rare herbs!
Heidi did not have a good impression of the Parthenon. Just like most of the traditional Mages of the Alps Institute, she hated the Parthenon that had been oppressing them all this time!
"His child bride is …" Mubai was just about to say when Mofan glared at him.
"Child bride? What's a child bride? "Heidi was completely unfamiliar with the term.
"Let's focus on the situation at hand. It seems like the Mages feeding the young Medusa are indeed part of the Egyptian army. I wonder if it's the doing of a certain general, or if the higher-ups in Egypt are aware of it," Mofan analyzed seriously.
Mofan initially thought only the Black Vatican would collude with demon creatures to oppress humans. Unfortunately, some people kept changing Mofan's view of the world.
"They are clearly fighting against the Lamias. The outskirts of Cairo are filled with Lamias and Scorpions. Why are they feeding the Lamias in the end? Isn't that just asking for trouble?" Heidi could not understand the logic at all!
Feeding the enemy?
A young Medusa was the future ruler of a city. The power of a ruler was enough to bring destruction to a city, let alone a huge horde of demon creatures under the ruler's command!
"Apas, do you know anything else? Did they mention why they left you with the young Medusa?" Mofan asked Apas. Apas shook her head.
Apas shook her head. She knew very little. The soldiers who were close to the young Medusa had never said a word.
"Could it be a conflict between factions in Egypt?" Vani wondered.
"A conflict between factions and colluding with demon creatures. I don't think any faction will benefit if Cairo loses the war," Mofan said.
A conflict between factions would not go that far. It was no different from the Black Vatican. Factions were there to rule, not to be hated by both humans and Gods!
"The young Medusa is now in the hands of the army. We can't break the Curse of the Snake Eyes," Mubai sighed.
They had been busy for so long, yet the army had set them up in the end. It turned out that demon creatures were not the scariest creatures in the world …
"Let's think of a way to get into the city and contact Fenna," Mofan said.
"Humph, that female general might be one of the scum, too," Vani said.
"I don't think so, I believe she doesn't know anything about it. We'll have to rely on her if we want to save Old Zhao and the others," Mofan said.
Mofan had fought Fenna on the battlefield before. He trusted Fenna's character. She would not collude with the soldiers that fed the young Medusa!
"We can wait until he wakes up and interrogate him, right?" Heidi suddenly pointed at Gangma, who was lying on the ground like an old dog.
Mofan and Mubai were startled.
