If there was anyone in "Fire Serpent's Eye" truly infuriated by Duke the mole, it was likely only Feros, the guild master.
Feros was a very ambitious man.
In order to obtain a higher position within the "Dark Alliance" in the future, he did not hesitate to offend "Fairy Tail," which was currently at the height of its popularity, as well as Watson, one of the "Ten Wizard Saints." He also promised many benefits to lure more than ten dark guilds to act as his helpers.
He thought this operation was foolproof, but who would have known such an accident would occur.
Now that the helpers he sought out were already gathered outside the Forest of the Fire Snake, how was he supposed to tell them about the "leak"?
"I said it long ago, that kid has a disgusting aura about him and should have been dealt with."
"Now that things have developed to this point, Lena, you must take the primary responsibility!"
Feros turned his head, his two bell-like eyes staring straight at his vice-guild master.
Under extreme rage, his sturdy muscles immediately began to tremble faintly. Along with the leakage of magical power, a gust of hot air whipped up around him. That lion-like red hair and beard suddenly flared out under the influence of the whirlwind.
"It's all because you said things like 'affecting morale' and 'redeeming himself through service' back then that let him escape."
"Now look at what happened. He sold us out, along with the allies I worked so hard to find!"
"Even if Fire Serpent's Eye is lucky enough to survive this crisis, our reputation and status within the 'Dark Alliance' will plummet in the future!"
Lena kept her head lowered steadily, her expression dark and uncertain, but she did not dare to talk back to Feros at this moment.
"This matter was indeed a lapse in my judgment."
"But the most important thing right now is to confirm exactly how much intelligence Duke has sold out."
"At the same time, we must block the news of the 'leaked operation'—those guys outside cannot be allowed to know..."
Feros gave an angry shout: "I obviously know that!"
If those guys knew that this operation was already known to the Council and "Fairy Tail," "Fire Serpent's Eye" would probably be carved up and devoured by them immediately...
Thinking of this, Feros felt even more irritated. He raised his fist, about to smash the table in front of him to pieces.
But just at that moment—
BOOM!!!
A violent explosion, accompanied by a deafening roar, smashed a large hole in the wall of the "Fire Serpent's Eye" tavern.
The powerful destructive force stirred up a strong wind, carrying a large amount of smoke and dust as it surged into the tavern, instantly dispersing most of the smell of alcohol and sweat permeating the air.
Several wizards who were standing closer were blown into the air by this force.
Before they could react, they were hit full in the face by stones, wooden boards, table and chair parts, and wine and food that came with the strong wind, finally falling miserably to the ground.
The sudden attack gave all the "Fire Serpent's Eye" wizards a fright, their bodies trembling in unison.
"Who is it?!"
"What happened?!"
Could it be that the allies gathered outside learned the news of the leaked operation and have come to settle the score? ! !
Should they abandon Guild Master Feros right now and just run away?
Everyone turned their heads together, looking toward the source of the explosion.
Amidst the swirling dust, one figure after another stepped in over the rubble.
Every person's face displayed a look of rage, as if a blazing fire was being suppressed in their chests.
Under the illumination of the moonlight in the forest, the Fairy Tail guild emblems on them were clearly visible.
The wizards inside the tavern suddenly widened their eyes.
"That emblem... it's... it's Fairy Tail! !"
This shout, carrying seven parts terror and three parts unease, was like a giant boulder falling into the sea, instantly stirring up a thousand layers of waves.
"Fairy Tail? They found their way directly to our door? ! !"
"Didn't we just say Duke sold our intel to them? Could it be they brought the Council's troops with them? ! !"
"No! It takes at least three days to get from Magnolia to here, and Duke only leaked the intel yesterday. There's simply no time..."
That's right!
There's simply no time to make it!
The eyes of the wizards lit up.
"It seems they came directly because their companion was insulted! They don't know yet... heh heh..."
"So, the enemies are only 'Fairy Tail,' and there are no Council troops?"
"Hahaha... then I can rest easy! Just with their one guild, a mere hundred people, how can they contend with 'us'? !"
Because Duke's identity was exposed too late, the wizards of "Fire Serpent's Eye" did not know that Fairy Tail already knew their plan. They thought Watson and the others had only come to their door recklessly because Hugh and Stuart had been beaten.
For a moment, a thought popped up in the minds of the "Fire Serpent's Eye" wizards simultaneously:
We're safe this time!
Wanton laughter immediately rang out in the tavern, and even the air seemed to become cheerful.
Suddenly, a burly man stood up.
It was precisely the person who had toyed with Hugh and Stuart.
He looked at Watson, a disdainful sneer coming from his mouth: "I say, you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Watson had already moved.
He slammed his head up, blue veins bulging, his face filled with fury.
He kicked off and took a step forward, his body instantly turning into a shooting star, crossing a distance of over ten meters and flashing above the burly man's head.
Immediately, a golden light flashed in his eyes.
His right hand clenched into a fist, aimed at that face as large as a basin, and struck out a heavy punch full of rage and magical power! !
"Fairy Fist!!"
Boom—! !
The burly man had no power to resist at all, and his entire being was smashed into the ground.
The floor could not withstand such a huge impact, instantly sinking and crumbling, forming a large crater.
At the same time, a strong wind rushed straight up, carrying the splintered wood chips as they swirled into the air.
Looking at that burly man again, his eyes were currently rolled back, and he was collapsed in the pit. A large amount of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth and nose, staining the surrounding ground red.
That tall and sturdy body was as powerless as a three-year-old child at this moment.
The sounds of jeering in the tavern came to an abrupt halt.
The smug smiles on all the wizards' faces instantly froze.
The contempt in their eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by extreme terror.
Before they could even react, more attacks followed closely—
"Fire God's Bellow! "
"Thunder God's Spear! !"
"Bullet Tide! !"
"Amaterasu: Formula 100!!"
"Giant's Strike! !"
"..."
Watson's move was like the signal that started the "war."
Following him, Zera, Yuri, Precht, Mavis... all the Fairy Tail wizards attacked at the same time.
Various magics were like a plague of locusts, covering the sky and the earth.
The tavern instantly became a battlefield.
