The group was approaching a rain forest five hundred meters away. It had three layers, just like the rain forest close to the swamps. They would soon be surrounded by shrubs that were taller than them.
It was easy for a group to get split up in the rain forest. Anyone could lose their way while walking in the shrubs if they were not paying attention.
Even a moving landmark like the Fearsome Martial Bear would disappear under the tall canopy of the trees here!
"Brigadier General Blair, ask your men to get rid of the weeds ahead," Professor Xylan called out.
"Why don't you ask Brigadier General Blair to build a highway for your Fearsome Martial Bear?" Mo Fan scoffed. He was seriously finding the Professor an eyesore.
"That would be the best," Professor Xylan agreed.
"…"
—
Mo Fan was only saying it off the top of his head, but Brigadier General Blair actually passed on the request to his soldiers.
A few minutes later, a troop of a hundred Basic Mages arrived and solidified the soil with Earth Wave.
The Savage Bull Riders were razing the plants to the ground, while the troop of Earth Mages was paving a road.
They were clearing a path through the rainforest, just so the Contracted Beast could advance with peace of mind!
A creature of its size could easily walk across a swamp without sinking into it.
It did not feel like they were going to war at all. It felt more like the parade of a royal family!

"The Venomous Insect Shamans can use their magic freely in the rainforest. It might seem a waste of effort, but it's necessary," Mu Bai told him quietly.
"I'm just afraid it's going to bring us more trouble. The enemy isn't going to stick to the rules. They must know we are coming after the Venomous Insect Shamans. They can just send their Wind Warships to attack us. We will have to retreat before we even see the Venomous Insect Shamans!" Mo Fan shook his head. He was quite displeased by Professor Xylan's carefree attitude.
Even the Federation was not as worried as Mo Fan. The generals were not as eager to win the war as Mo Fan was.
He could easily tell Professor Xylan's attitude toward the fight, judging by the way she had been testing her students previously.
The cries of Savage Bulls came from the distance. Mo Fan could see a gust of wind sweeping the Savage Bulls into the air from up on the Fearsome Martial Bear. The Savage Bulls were flung out of his sight in the blink of an eye.
The wind grew stronger and knocked more Savage Bulls into the sky. The Savage Bull Riders had no choice but to seek cover behind the Fearsome Martial Bear.
"It's the enemy's Wind Warships!" Brigadier General Blair yelled.
"How many of them?"
"Four!"
Strong winds were approaching from four different directions. They collided around a kilometer away from the Fearsome Martial Bear and combined into a ferocious tornado.
The tornado was strong enough to toss the Savage Bulls within a certain distance of it into the sky like mere pieces of paper.
Mo Fan harrumphed coldly when he heard the news. As he thought, the Brown Rebels' generals were smarter than the Federation Army!
Why would the generals even allow Professor Xylan to put on airs in the middle of a war? Wouldn't it tell the Brown Rebels that the Federation Army had sent out someone special?
"Xylan… Professor Xylan, I'm afraid my men couldn't stop the Wind Warships," Brigadier General Blair said apologetically.
"I'm only after the Venomous Insect Shamans," Professor Xylan replied.
"But they are hiding behind the Wind Warships!" Brigadier General Blair pointed out.
"My magic will only shed the Venomous Insect Shamans' blood. If you can't deal with the Wind Warships and bring us to the Venomous Insect Shamans, we will go back to the city," Professor Xylan informed him.
She closed her eyes again after finishing the sentence, like an imperious statue.
Brigadier General Blair's expression shifted when he heard Professor Xylan was thinking of turning back.
He didn't dare say another word. He turned to Lt. Colonel Mason instead.
"You've beaten the Brown Rebels several times. Now that the enemy has sent four Wind Warships to stop our advance, what do you think we should do?" Brigadier General Blair asked him.
Mason was dumbfounded.
Why should a little officer like him have to worry about such a tricky question? Those were four Wind Warships, which meant ten thousand elite soldiers of the Brown Rebels!
Lt. Colonel Mason knew his place. He immediately climbed onto the Fearsome Martial Bear's shoulder and asked Mo Fan for help.
——
Professor Xylan opened her eyes a little and glanced at Mo Fan and Mason.
Su Xi was standing beside Professor Xylan. She finally asked, "Professor, the Brown Rebels are clearly coming after us. The Federation Army obviously can't handle them. Are we really going to give up?"
"I won't use a single spell," Professor Xylan stated firmly.
Su Xi was familiar with Professor Xylan. She looked at the Professor's eyes and soon realized something.
"Professor, you mean we can help, right?" Su Xi smiled.
Professor Xylan did not answer the question, but the answer was obvious.
The Professor had no intention to join the battle, nor did her two assistant teachers, but the students were free to do whatever they wanted.
A cruel battlefield was the best training ground for students. How could they not have the urge to fight when they were surrounded by the howls and blasts of spells? Besides, the Brown Rebels were shameless and despicable. They had murdered a lot of innocent people in Banlo City.
The students were only joining the battle so the Andes Mountain Range could regain its peace sooner!

Su Xi quickly went up to Mo Fan and his friends.
She brought half of the students with her. They were around Mo Fan's age, but each of them had a proud look on their face. It was a typical trait of every student of the Aorus Sacred Institute, let alone high-achievers in the school.
Most of the students in a university were studying for their Bachelor's degrees, but they were a bunch of Master's and Ph.D. students, and were being taught by a top professor!
"We will lend you a hand!" Su Xi gave Mu Bai a friendly smile.
Mu Bai could feel sadness spreading between his legs when he saw Su Xi wrapping her arm around Karl as they walked over.

"That's great, you are all high-achievers of the Aorus Sacred Institute, but the enemy's Wind Warships are extremely powerful. I'm afraid the number of people we have here…" Brigadier General Blair began.
The Wind Warships had around ten thousand soldiers. It was a terrifying number, even if they did not take the Wind Warships' firepower into consideration!
