As the mini-map could still show the direction of my teammates, it was easy to find Aliyah and her group. Following the directions on the mini-map through a few turns, soon enough, Aliyah and her friends' names appeared inside a room on the second floor of a restaurant ahead.

Noticing that there was no theft protection on the windows of the opposite second floor, I directly jumped a couple of steps onto the balcony outside the second floor and then pushed open the balcony door to walk in.

"Hey, who's there! ... Oh, it's just big brother."

Before I could enter, Oyado's alert voice came from inside the room, but upon recognizing me, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come here, big brother? Weren't you supposed to distract the soldiers? I did exactly that, with the spirit of going all the way. I instigated a direct conflict between soldiers and mercenaries. It will probably have an effect soon."

"A direct conflict? What did you do?"

"It's nothing much, just used a few soldiers under the pretext of preventing fugitives from escaping to seal off all the ships at the coast. Then, those with contraband goods on the ships, those in a rush to leave the port, or the mercenaries who already had a grudge against the soldiers directly turned on the army's ships and camp. It seems like now..."

Before I could finish, there was an explosion in the distance, followed by shouts and sounds of magic flying through the air. It got even more chaotic, with explosions and swearing echoing continuously, making the whole city lively. Judging from the situation, we had successfully incited a civil war within the city.

Ah, as the one who started it all, I was deeply saddened. After all, everyone was just trying to survive, and it wasn't good to harm one's own kind.

But now, with the urgent situation at hand, we had to act quickly.

"Now, what's the situation at the harbor? Can we still sail the ships out?"

Uncle Monty asked anxiously.

"Of course, but it might be a bit challenging for you guys, considering many ships are leaving the harbor, and there are numerous warships shooting at those outgoing ships. So, we need some skill..."

"So, we're going to blend in with those ships and escape?"

"Yes, that's the plan."

"This..."

Uncle Monty hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Alright, let's go. Given the current situation, I believe enemy reinforcements will arrive soon, and then we'll be in real trouble."

Well, there were other options too, like confronting them head-on, although I wasn't sure about the odds of winning. But at least freezing the sea and escaping was something I could manage.

As long as the enemy's mage wasn't much stronger than me.

"Alright, let's get going. Grab my hand."

I reached out my hand to them.

"A handshake?"

Uncle Monty looked at me oddly, but seeing Oyado and Aliyah holding my hand, he and his crew also grabbed my hand.

"Alright, let's go!"

Recalling the location of the ship's deck in my mind, with a flash, we appeared on the ship.

However, there were still some other people in the ship's cabin, and upon seeing us, they immediately drew their swords and attacked us!

"These troublemakers, what are they doing on someone else's ship!"

Uncle Monty drew his large sword from behind and charged directly, knocking several people flying, and the other crew members also reacted and drew their weapons to fight back.

But I was not feeling well at all, losing my magical power completely was uncomfortable, and now, blinking with several people drained me even more, leaving a throbbing headache, making me extremely dizzy.

"Big brother, are you okay?"

Oyado asked from beside me.

"I'm fine. You go help Uncle Monty and the others."

"Uh... okay, I got it."

Oyado nodded and joined the fight against the mercenaries.

Of course, we completely overwhelmed the enemy, and soon, the battle ended; we drove away the mercenaries and then threw overboard those who couldn't fight. Uncle Monty quickly steered the ship, setting sail directly towards the open sea.

On the deck, as expected, countless ships were leaving the harbor in different directions as I had mentioned, while the warships around were continuously firing, sinking those fleeing ships.

"Such a nuisance."

I complained and then directly drank a bottle of blue potion for recovery.

"Ultimate · Heavy Ice Armor."

After finishing the incantation, I waved my hand, instantly creating two ice armors on each side of the ship.

Well, at least, there was some extra defense now.

Title upgraded to Warbringer Level 2

Battlefield experience multiplier: from 2.0 to 2.1

Seeing this upgrade message, I felt ashamed for a long time.

Are you encouraging me to start a war? Huh? Am I that kind of person?

If I wasn't intentional, of course not. Like now, I clearly didn't mean to.

"Hurry, let's go! By the way... clear out any ships blocking the way."

I said with a smile.
