A loud sound of the Beast Lord Cave Lizard falling to the ground of the pit sounded loudly, as if to let everyone know that it has fallen into the trap of the Sandstone Lord Spider.

Afterwards, painful cries of the Beast Lord Cave Lizard continuously sounded, drowning everyone's ears with its loud noise.

Eventually, the sound stopped sounding, quickly replaced by the surrounding turning into dead silent to the point that if one dropped a pin right now it would be possible to hear its sound.

At the far distance, Leo was shocked to see this sight. It was really out of his expectations that the Sandstone Lord Spider would actually be able to beat the Beast Lord Cave Lizard. After all, the former was considered as a bottom feeder while the latter was a mid-tier predator, so it should have been the other way around, not like this one right now. Moreover, a while ago the Beast Lord Cave Lizard was still winning, yet seemingly in an instant. The tables have turned.

What's even more shocking was, even the Sandstone Spider tribe was also winning against the Cave Lizard tribe right this moment.

Although the price to pay for this win was the Sandstone Spider tribe losing more compared to the Cave Lizard tribe, it still can't deny the fact that, in the end, they won.

For the Sandstone Spider tribe, it was an extremely hard-fought victory, from the beginning until the end. There were a few times when they were losing the fight and a few times when they were winning. Still, they keep on fighting and fighting, until eventually all their efforts finally paid off.

Unfortunately, it would only be a short-lived victory...

"Begin!" Leo exclaimed loudly after seeing that the Beast Lord Cave Lizard has died.

With that order sent, Cassandra and the others, along with Mayor Jong and his 500 soldiers, immediately charged forward to join the ongoing battle between the Sandstone Spider tribe against the Cave Lizard tribe.

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Different Elements of Magic spells rained down towards the formation of the Sandstone Spider tribe and the Cave Lizard tribe. Soon after, explosions sounded before quickly being followed after by numerous painful cries.

Meanwhile, Charlotte, along with Ethan, Elaine, and Edward didn't waste any time as they charged directly straight towards the direction of the Sandstone Lord Spider, not letting it help its Sandstone Spider tribe. Doing this doesn't only restrict it, but it also cut it off from its soldiers, similar to what had happened to the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm back then.

A Magical Beast tribe without a Leader is equivalent to a headless chicken.

Such a saying has been proven true already, so Leo planned to use it again for this fight.

Although calling it a headless chicken was considered as an exaggeration, it was still somewhat within that scope of the word.

The Sandstone Spider tribe could still fight against Mayor Jong's soldiers, but it wouldn't be that difficult to defeat them since they don't have that much unity like what the latter has. After all, despite the fact that the Sandstone Mother Spiders or the Sandstone Knight Spiders could still give commands to lead the Sandstone Spider tribe, their orders weren't centralized.

They have different thought processes and opinions in the battle, resulting in different kinds of commands. It would basically turn out to be like tens of different orders, with different purposes being sent out to different formations.

Some would order to retreat before launching an attack.

Some would order to continue going offensive, just like what they were doing this entire time.

Some would even order to just follow what the others were doing

And many more different kinds of orders.

With such kinds of orders being sent, they would not be unified. Different openings would appear, which their opponent would be able to grab through the help of their Leader, Mayor Jong.

Indeed, the person leading this battle wasn't Leo, but Mayor Jong.

It's because Leo had thought that it's much better for him to observe than to join in the fight.

He had already said it the last time, "The more they fight, the more he could learn!"

With so many different types of Mages and various kinds of styles in controlling Mana, it's also meant the best opportunity for him to gather more knowledge.

Therefore, he just stood there and watch. Occasionally, he would lend a hand by suggesting to Mayor Jong a plan. But most of the time, he would only stand there and watch. Nothing more and nothing less.

Anyways, he was already very experienced when it comes to fighting against Magical Beast, so it's alright for him to not join in this fight.

On the other hand, though, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Sele, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre joined in the fight.

Aside from Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, and Edward, who were now fighting against the Sandstone Lord Spider, the rest formed a team and fought together while protecting each other's back.

Leo can't help himself from secretly cheering for them every time they killed a Sandstone Spider.

"Your friends are really capable, Prince Loki," Mayor Jong commented as he has seen in his sight what Cassandra's team was capable of.

"Of course, that's why I invited them to join me," Leo replied with a smile.

"How about me, Prince Loki, would I also have the great honor to join your group?" Mayor Jong asked while feeling embarrassed.

Leo turned to look at Mayor Jong and dubiously asked, "You?"

"Please don't misunderstand me, Prince Loki. I just want to know whether for you I also have the same capability as them or not," Mayor Jong quickly explained himself.

"Oh..." Leo smiled and nodded his head in acknowledgment. He really thought that Mayor Jong would actually want to join him. It turns out that he just wanted to know about his opinion of him. Of course, he still can't rule out the possibility.

"If you want, then you can join. I could use someone with great capability like yours," Leo smiled in response before turning to looked at the front again.

Hearing Prince Leo's words, Mayor Jong can't help smiling in delight. The thought of wanting to join Prince Leo's group had indeed crossed his mind once, but he didn't entertain it further as he doesn't believe that he would have the chance. But now that he heard that he does have a chance, he can't help thinking more about it.

A few seconds later, Mayor Jong shook his head. After thinking about it inwardly for a bit, in the end, he decided to decline such an offer. Although it was a great opportunity to get close to a Prince of Lionheart Kingdom, which would help the Sandy Town a lot, he still can't bear to leave his people, especially since the last Mayor, which is his Master, had left the Sandy Town in his hand. It's his responsibility to take care of his people, so he can't leave them.

The fight continued against the Sandstone Spider tribe. It wasn't only them involved, the Cave Lizard tribe also joined in the fight, turning the battle into a three-way fight.

However, with the small remaining number of the Cave Lizard tribe, they soon fell from the battle. All of those on the battlefield died while a few of them escaping through the tunnel they used to travel to the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.

On the other hand, the Sandstone Spider tribe was slowly being pushed to a corner. Even with the new addition of tens of thousands of ordinary Sandstone Spiders, it still didn't help them have any slight advantage.

Meanwhile, the Sandstone Lord Spider was beginning to weaken as it had received critical attacks from Charlotte's group from time to time. Additionally, it hadn't fully recovered yet from the direct attack to its face that it had received a while back then from the Beast Lord Cave Lizard.

ROAAAAAAR!

The Sandstone Lord Spider bellowed loudly, before being followed after by seemingly numerous banging sounds inside the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest. Soon, tens of thousands of ordinary Sandstone Spiders came out from the nest and began providing assistance to the Sandstone tribe.

Unfortunately, Leo had long expected such a thing to happen already. So, he and Mayor Jong had already thought of a plan to handle it.

Seemingly in an instant, Magical Knights with cultivation higher than 4 Star separated from the main group and began attacking the reinforcement that is made up of ordinary Sandstone Spiders. A few Mages also diverted their attacks as they began shooting area of effect Magic spells towards them, causing their numbers to quickly decrease.

Seeing this, the Sandstone Lord Spider could only helplessly grit its teeth. It bellowed another time to send out the last remaining ready-to-hatch wave of ordinary Sandstone Spiders from its nest.

Out of the Sandstone Lord Spider's expectations, the new wave of ordinary Sandstone Spiders still wasn't able to cause that much effect. It only caused a little trouble, causing a few casualties amongst Mayor Jong's soldiers. Aside from that, there was practically nothing more, as in literally.

Honestly speaking, that's actually within expectations. After all, the Sandstone Spider tribe still doesn't have a centralized command, compared to Mayor Jong's soldiers who have a united front with one single goal, to eliminate the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.

ROAAAAARR!

Suddenly, a loud bellow of something familiar was heard by everyone.

Quickly, Leo turned to look in the direction of the pit that the Beast Lord Cave Lizard has fallen to, seemingly knowing already what it was.
