"Surrender!!!"
"Put your hands where we can them!!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Don't move!!"
Several guardsmen with spears in hand could be seen Surrounding Arian, who was currently on horse back.
They had heard about everything that happened in the heaven devourer mountain, including "Arian's betrayal and death" so seeing her here genuinely shocked them, they all thought she was dead.
But now that she had appeared, they didn't really know how to react, other than surrounding or trying to capture her.
"Hmmmm" Arian, while still maintaining the cold expression on her face, looked forward into the camp. Sounds of festivity could be heard from within the camp.
There seemed to be some sort of event happened inside the camp.
"Take me to the commander" Arian said out loud, but she didn't wait for them to reply as she began making her way into the camp slowly.
This move momentarily shocked the guards, but they had no choice but to follow her tightly while still maintaining a tight perimeter around her.
There was really nothing else they could do, it was best for the commander to handle her

30 minutes prior
At the very back of the camp in the lumber Area
A figure cloaked in a dark robe slowly made his way out from the forest and into the clearing.
Once he did so, he looked around and his eyes landed on top, a young man seated in a relaxed position behind a stack of lumber.
"There he is" the cloaked figure whispered as he made his horse move closer and closer to the young man.
"Who's there?" The young man noticed the new arrival and quickly became tense. There was not meant to be anyone in the lumber Area at this time of the night.
"It's me" the figure pulled down his cloak and revealed his face.
"Hm? Boss?" Immediately after seeing this face, the young man's facial expression lit up. He wasn't expecting for Leon to come back after all the news he had heard.
"Yes yes....." Leon smiled, he had scouted this area thoroughly in the past and was able to determine that it was the best place to sneak into the camp from. There were barely any guards here until you reached the outskirts of the camp, and even then, those were mainly patrols.
"Oh my god, is this really happening?" The young man, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly came to another realization. Leon appearing here signified only one thing.
The plan was about to be set in motion.
"I hope everything is prepared?" Leon asked the young man. He had Arian purchased Gunta from the cages and gave him strict instructions to follow pending his return. Now that he was here, everything was to be set in motion.
"Of course, I did everything you asked, and I even have the equipment here with me now." Gunta said with glee, before reaching to the back of the stacks of wood to pull out a bag.
Leon's instructions had him waiting here every day for the signal for the plan to set off, as such he was always ready.
"Good, let's go cause some mayhem" Leon smirked. From here on out, all hell would break loose.
"I feel so terrible, Klaus, my bones are stiff, and my wounds are rotting. No one should live like this"
Inside a cage in the middle of the tamlin group's camp, a Warlocks chained and caged up could be seen complaining. He had bruises and cuts all over his body, and no one spoke about it.
This was mainly because a great many of them had been through the same situation on several occasions. So they knew this as a common occurrence.
"Don't worry about its brother. When lord Badur appears, all this will end, and we will all be free" Beside him, another warlock commented.
"Hmp!! You guys keep believing in all this bullshit, what nonsense. You expect us to believe that some random powerhouse would appear just to save us? You think they don't have any clan members to worry about? Retards" in an entirely different cage, a warlock in his mid-twenties berated.
A while ago, some rumors had begun spreading among the Warlocks of a powerful Warlock liberator that would come and free them. Apparently, this Warlock was so powerful that he had burnt down numerous other hunter camps and the hunters could do nothing about it.
Of course, not everybody believed such absurdity.
"You will see!!! Just wait and pray" the previous warlock urged, regardless of what he would hold faith. To him, this savior was more than just a powerful Warlock. He was a spiritual guide to all the Warlocks going through this oppression.
"Hmp!!! Blind faith!!" The warlock in his mid-twenties sneered and turned to look away. There was no pulling these guys from their fantasies.
However, as soon as he turned back, he heard a strange sound followed by a ruckus behind him.
"Hm?" He turned back to see what the problem was, and immediately his eyes changed into one of shock.
The locks to the cages in front of him had been broken and the guys he was talking to previously had rushed out.
This was astonishing
"Hey!!! Let me out too" after a brief moment of shock, the warlock screamed for help. However, he was ignored.
Gunta's POV
"Next" Atop a tree not too far away from the camp, gunta's silhouette could be observed with a bow and arrow aiming at a cage.
—puuuu
He fired another arrow from his high vintage allowing to collided with a lock effectively breaking it.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" Immediately, the people in the cage rushed out and engaged the guards. This was a long-term plan Leon had set in place.
The rumors of the Lord that would come to save them was also spread by Gunta on the directives of Leon.
"Kill the bloody hunters" the Warlocks seized the opportunity and attacked the guards, brutally overwhelming them.
Because of the event at the center of the camp, most of the guards with true power like the level 2 guards were not around, as such, this little rebellion couldn't be quelled easily.
"He's already here" gunta turned his Arrow to a figure on horse-back, he was cloaked in black and with a torch in hand.
"Who??!!"
As soon as the figure appeared before the now released warlocks, they all froze. A figure cloaked in black had appeared out of nowhere, their caution was warranted.
"Burn the place to the ground" the figure shrouded in darkness, threw the torch in his hand to the Warlocks on the ground and said.
"Burn it down?" The figure was telling them to burn the camp to the ground? What did that mean?
"The Lord badur has decided to free his people, but first he must give them back their pride. Destroy your enemies" the cloaked figure said loudly. His voice carrying a sort of majesty that shook them to the very core.
This man was a vessel of the powerful Lord badur? Didn't that mean the rumors were true? Were they really going to gain their freedom today?
"Quick haste, take your revenge. The lord's men will hold back the old bastards" the figure announced before kicking his horse and riding off.
"Yeah...yeah!!!!! Let's burn this whole place to the ground!!!" One of the warlocks screamed in a loud voice. It was like all the pent-up rage he had been feeling in his heart all this while had come rushing through the floodgates.
The hunters had captured and humiliated them for so long. Now it was time for revenge.
Meanwhile, Leon, who was riding away from the scene was joined by Gunta on horse back.
Behind them, a large cloud of black smoke had begun to form....
"Where to?" Gunta asked Leon. They were riding in the direction of the death squad's camp.....this was not part of the original plan.
Leon's plans were intricate, he and gunta had systemically released warlocks from their cages and set fire to the camp. This would lead to many deaths and massive loses on the hunter side. But this was only a distraction.
"Going to see an old friend" Leon said with a big smile on his face.
If his plan was to succeed, he couldn't rely on only Arian to fight against the host of level 3 mages.
He needed more backup
Luckily, the camp had recently received someone of immense power, one that was ready to lay her life down just to drag down the hunters.....
The head of the blood serpent clan.
