When Rick paid all his concentration on the Whirlpool which was right on top of their head, the leader of the bandit group seized the opportunity and commanded to attack the city gate.

The bandits followed their leader's orders and immediately started to attack the City Gates. By the time Rick came back to the reality, the bandits already started to attack the City Gates. And what's even more worse is that, the Whirlpool started to release some kind of air Shurikens on top of the Archers team and all the people who were standing on the balcony.

This is bad!

Rick thought. An attack was coming from top of their head. This attack was definitely a lethal one. So it gave no room for the Archers on top of the City walls to defend from the attackers who are attackinf the City Door. Since the City Walls are very huge, it became very difficult to shoot them even in the normal condition. Needless to say, while defending from the shurikens formed from the whirlpool!

But Rick wasn't bothered about it. When it came to wind, he is the King! Rick opened his mouth and started to suck the wind shurikens. The Whirlpool immediately submitted to Rick as the entire Whirlpool made out of wind was sucked dry by Rick!

All the bandits looked at the scene with dumbfounded expression! They couldn't see properly due to night, but they all wanted to see the person who sucked that giant whirlpool. Even the citizens who were watching the scene through broadcast crystal were dumfounded. The Pavilion Lord of the Groundbreaker Pavilion was speechless to see this scene. For a moment he lost his sanity as he wanted to speak something. But he didn't know what to say.

The Six Pavilion Lordslooked at Rick as if they were looking at a monster! What kind of ability is that? He actually sucked that monstrous giant Whirlpool as if it is some kind of food? Is he an human or a monster?

They were simply lost in their thoughts. They were frightened when they saw such a giant Whirlpool. They were certain in their heart that they lost the war. Jimmy has deployed only two hundred people under Rick's Generalship! But they didn't put any hopes as they left everything for the lady luck. But when Rick sucked that giant Whirlpool, it renendered them speechless.

They subconsciously looked at Jimmy who was sitting next to them. He was simply smiling. It was as if this strange phenomenon was within his expectation. They didn't know what to say anymore. They were becoming numb to see these wierd things.

\"Concentrate on the war!\" ,Rick gave the orders to the Archers next to him who were looking at him as if they were looking at a monster.

Immediately the Archers came back to their senses. Their General might have saved them from a huge calamity, but they still failed to prevent the bandits to reach the City Gates. And with the help of the giant City Walls, they couldn't even aim at them properly.

Rick also blamed himself for this failure. In the past, he learned a lesson. Never completely foocus on one thing in a war. This small mistake might become lethal for you. He was told this by his grandfather Gutherson many times. He even learned this lesson back in the Maze Palace along with Arjun. And yet, today he still failed to keep this lesson in his mind at such a crucial moment. He blamed himself for this mistake.

And so he took the responsibility.

\"Scroll Attack!\" ,Rick looked opposite side of the City Wall which was inside the city and gave his command.

There was a windows at the centre of the balcony. There were soldiers who were hiding inside the City Walls. These soldiers numbered around hundred. They were reserved squad for the worst case scenario. Since the worst was happening, in order to prevent the situation from slipping away from his hands, he took a necessary precautions.

Before going to the war, Arjun gave Rick some scrolls. The scrolls were written with some shining runes. The soldiers didn't know what they were. But Rick already knew what these scrolls were. Inside the scroll, Arjun fused all his Dao of Fire insights using the Runic Language. That means, once these scrolls were used, then the target has to face the Dao of Fire which Arjun mastered!

The hidden soldiers opened the window and as per instructed, they teared the scrolls and threw on the bandits. As soon as the scrolls were thrown on the bandits, the scrolls ignited and the land rumbled as if the earthquake was about to occur.

\"What's happening?\" ,The leader of the Bandit Group finally sensed something abnormal and asked in confusion.

But since he didn't know what those scrolls were, he decided to wait patiently. But to be safe, he commanded, \"Protect yourselves using your shields!\"

He took the risk this time. Because when he used that Whirlpool formation earlier, he was certain that he could destroy them successfully. So he deployed a sum of three thousand bandits to solely attack the City Gate. Since he had faith in the Whirlpool Formation, he was sure that he can successfully divert the opponent's attention. For a period of time things gone as he had expected. He successfully managed to divert their attention.

But the main reason why he was in a rush to destroy the City Gate is because of that Whirlpool Formation's limit. It had tremendous power. But the Formation's duration was not limitless. So he wanted to destroy the City Gates before the Formation's duration runs out. But je never expected Rick to suck the entire Whirlpool with his mouth. This was something he had least expected. Because even in the past, the Formation never failed him. But unfortunately today he met Rick! And he had to pay for it.

The sum of three thousand Bandits used their shields to block any kind of unknown possible attack! The unknown were definitely scary.

But they had deeply underestimated the scrolls Arjun prepared. After some rumble sounds, a fire ignited from within the torn scrolls. Under their dumbfounded gazes, they found that small fire quickly expanded and formed a shape.

ROAR!!!

A roar came out from the shaped flames. Everyone, be it bandits, or be it the citizens who were watching the war through the Broadcasting Crystal or the Six Pavilion Lords were dumbfounded as they felt their hearts skipped a bit.

The shape which the flames transformed into was truly frightening. The pressure it releasing was truly scary. Because the flames transformed into actually a Dragon!
