They encircled Samuel and Abel, forming a defensive perimeter around them.
There were only twenty soldiers remaining and some of them were injured while the assaulters' number amounted to twenty-five.
Between the surprise attack and the slaughter unleashed when Abel's chest was pierced, many of them had died, further lowering their numbers.
However, their leader was still alive!
If they managed to hold their ground till he could fight again then the battle would be in their hands!
Even Samuel understood that point and began to use his personal stash of potions to accelerate Abel's recovery, they were all betting their lives on the leader of the expedition.
The cultivators hired by the Royal family knew that if they wanted to win that battle, they had to act quickly.
Every one of them had their personal reasons to follow through that mission, yet some hesitation still appeared in their eyes.

If they ran away now, they were sure that they could escape.
However, they would then face the consequences of disobeying the orders of the Royal family.
That hesitation was vanquished by Jean directly throwing another poisonous bottle in the enemy group.
When an area was crowded, her methods were among the best in Noah's group.
Nevertheless, the soldiers were ready by then to that attack pattern and three of them created shields made of water to fend off the poison.
Also, a spear made of wind shot from their group toward her.
The speed of the spell was too fast and directly pierced the woman's waist, making her fall on her knees.
'Fuck!'
Noah cursed and decided to act.
He didn't really care about whether the mission succeeded or not but he wasn't sure how his relationship with the Royal family would evolve once they learnt that he held himself back.
What if they decided to remove his freedom like they had done with Jean?
What if they decided that his character was too wild to be controlled?
Also, he really didn't want the noble families to create an organization similar to the academy.
He knew that it would take a long time for him to be strong enough to storm Balvan mansion and allowing the nobles to raise their power could only hinder his vengeance.
In the end, there was also the fact that he had some grudges against the Muwlos family.
The First form of the Ashura was performed.
More than fifteen sabers materialized in the air around him and attacked the formation of the soldiers.
He revealed his rank 4 martial art!
The cultivators in his group were surprised by his sudden increase of power but, when they realized that he was single-handedly forcing four soldiers back, they joined him in his charge toward the center of the formation.
Time was crucial!
They had about ten minutes to reach Samuel and finish off Abel so they resorted to their most powerful methods to break the line of defense of their enemies.
However, even the soldiers were doing their best and used their teamwork at their advantage, synchronizing spells and techniques to take care of the most troublesome individuals.
Only Noah remained untouched.
His martial art was suited for fighting large numbers of enemies and since both his sea of consciousness and dantian reached the second rank, the power of the First form had increased greatly.
The power behind every slash was incredible and even his control of the area around him improved, even though he didn't manage to kill any soldier they were continuously pushed back!
