"Oh wood, grow and surround them, wood terrain" [Filaurel]

Filaurel chant those spell in silence, the plan is as follows

1. Fizumi and Azumi will put up an enormous barrier magic, surrounding the whole main camp of the soldiers, as to (a) prevent them from escaping, (b) prevent any sound transmitted outside the barrier, especially cry for help or scream as to not alert any other unit of soldier, (c) camouflage so that those who may look towards the direction of camp can't see anything happen especially smoke and light from fire burning out from the wood and finally barrier of ignorance are also placed alongside this barrier so that outsiders or those that can and will help the soldiers from country below the wind won't notice anything.

Since an enormous barrier are being made and with the presence of multiple enemy mage, they had to make sure the flow of mana seems natural, as if they are coming from the natural sources, and only when they received the signal from either Alfin's group or Kucin's group they will finalize the first and second barrier

As for the second barrier, since their objective is to take hostage of General Lahad's son alive, they have to make sure there are barrier to prevent him from escaping as well as barrier to protect him from suffocation, but alas not a barrier to prevent him from getting hurt since Fizumi as well as the three knight from the first knight squad will charged and attack him during when the time comes

As for Filaurel, she have to make sure that the wood and tree surrounding the camp is easily combustible, and spread out in a nice way encircling the enemy soldiers camp, as an extra step, she even use a spell to make sure the root of the tree went as deep as possible to the enemy camp, but not deep enough since it may ruined Fizumi and The Knight plan to attack Lahad's son. Since she is an expert in wood magic (couple with the fact that wood magic are something rarely used by human) her progress are smoother as compared to Azumi and Fizumi since the enemy mage can't detect wood magic due to inexperienced, unless the enemy mage comprises of elf or half-elf, in which case it wasn't as they had make sure ot it beforehand

The three knight will watch the surrounding, making sure that no one will come to help those soldier when the attack commence as well as observing the enemy mage, if by chance the mage able to detect the Either the barrier or the wood magic, they can make the decision to either launch a surprise attack there itself or retreat first, baiting the large group away from Alfin's and Kucin's group direction

With none of Alfin or Kucin's group are sending any sort of signal, either telepathically or by golem, they all take their time to prepare for the surprise attack. Azumi and Fizumi in particular, have to make sure that the barrier magic can be instantly erected, by making sure that the mana flow constantly in a fluid or gas like manner in the air while avoiding any detection. This drain their mana as they have to constantly supplies their mana to maintain those barrier as to prevent the barrier from collapsing

"Azumi, I just finished with my part, how about the both of you?" [Filaurel]

"We are fine, our barrier magic can be cast instantly if needed, so right now come the difficult part of maintaining it in this state" [Azumi]

"How about the other?" [Filaurel]

"No sign of anyone coming from outside" [First Knight Squad B]

"Plus, I don't think the enemy soldiers or mage detect what is going on" [First Knight Squad A]

"Still, we have to exercise caution but as of now, I can said that our plan is still working" [First Knight Squad C]

"That's encouraging" [Fizumi]

And they decided to carry out this plan until they received the message from Either Alfin's or Kucin's group or both. 15 minute passed and sweat can be seen flowing from Azumi's face due to maintaining the barrier, Fizumi who is the highest ethos of neutral mana doesn't seem to struggle much. The other are also sweating albeit less than Azumi and so so due to anxiety

"It's here" [Azumi]

Azumi received a telepathy message from Alfin telling him to start the distraction, a moment later, an earth rat golem from Kronbir come to give them the signal to start

"Perfect! Let us start!" [Azumi]
