——The support from the Fourth Army of the Imperial Border Defense has arrived much faster than expected.

After receiving the request for help from Moti City, the Third Battalion immediately began a rapid march from its base to Conil Village.

Although it was heard that there were volunteers trying to resist the beast tide, according to the captain's estimation, those people could only hold out for half an hour at most.

"Don't be held back by the monsters on the road! If we arrive one minute later, there may be more casualties over there!"

Those mad monsters must have already broken through the city... and the people who had no ability to resist must have met a terrible fate.

However, when the Third Brigade repelled thousands of monsters and finally arrived at Conil Village from the north, what they saw was a wall of earth and stone that was devastated but still intact.

Looking around, there were corpses of monsters everywhere. The strong smell of blood in the air made the soldiers who had been fighting monsters for many years feel a little nauseous.

And those soldiers who were leaning against the wall to rest due to exhaustion looked like ordinary people who had not received systematic training.

"What the hell happened here?"

Although they had no idea what was happening here, the Third Battalion quickly took over this line of defense and began to resist subsequent attacks on the spot.

After the medical soldiers conducted an emergency examination of the wounded on the defense line, they immediately reported the situation to the captain.

"What did you say... only eighty out of the one hundred and twenty-six were slightly injured? There was only one person who was seriously injured and unable to move?"

"Yes, the only person here who is seriously injured... is the eldest son of Marquis Moti's family."

"That useless young master who can't even exert his level 2 strength? Why is he here?"

After listening to the report, the captain was even more confused.

Judging from the tragic situation in front of the defense line, these people repelled at least 1,500 magical beasts in the few hours they were on the road... Even if most of the beasts in the tide were just low-level level 2 magical beasts, they were not something that these few people could handle.

——However, most of the people who participated in the battle only suffered minor injuries?

"Go and find out what happened. Ask those who participated in the battle. Quick!"

Although the captain didn't understand why these people could hold on for so long, looking at the abnormal area outside the wall that was still spewing lava, he felt that something big must have happened here.

But when his soldiers came to report again, he was once again caught in a confusion that was difficult to escape.

"I don't know what I did," "I don't understand why I was able to hold on for so long," and "I forgot how many enemies I fought off"... Everyone I asked would only give such vague answers.

However, for some reason, these people asked them the same question at the same time - how is the eldest son of the Marquis doing now?

"Why are you all asking about that young master? Are you worried that if that young master dies, you won't get the commission?"

Since the captain didn't have a good first impression of the Marquis's eldest son, he didn't pay much attention to this little thing. After a while, he received a report that there were actually two level five warriors helping out here.

It seems that the reason why this place can stop the beast tide is most likely related to those two strong men... But this alone cannot explain why the death toll here is zero.

"Please ask those two people to come to me and tell them that I want to understand the situation."

Because the captain himself only has the strength of level four, he still has great respect for the rare level five strong men.

When the heroic and charming wolf-man and the handsome mercenary walked into the temporary base, he became more convinced of his previous judgment.

"Thank you for your hard work. I am the captain of the third battalion of the Fourth Legion of the Imperial Border Defense. My mission is to support and protect the city of Moti."

"Nice to meet you... Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to hold on."

"Who is this lady from the wolf tribe to you?"

The beautiful wolf girl with gorgeous warm black hair seemed a little distracted, so the captain started chatting directly with the mercenary.

These two level five warriors must have some special relationship - the captain made such a guess based on his own experience, but the man showed a somewhat frightened expression.

"No, no, I can't afford to marry this lady... She is the personal attendant of the eldest son of the Marquis Moti family. She has nothing to do with me."

A personal attendant? How could the useless young master of the Marquis's family recruit such a powerful alien as his attendant?

If the Marquis were still alive, perhaps some people would admire his reputation and take the initiative to serve him. But now that the Marquis is dead, why would anyone be willing to serve that incompetent young master?

"Do you have anything important to tell me? If not, I have to go back to take care of the young master."

"I'm so sorry... Miss, please stay for a moment. Our medical soldiers are already doing their best to treat the wounded. Your master should be out of danger now."

"Don't worry, Miss Karin. I've just checked on him. Although the young master is seriously injured, the healers have already cured his external injuries. As long as he recovers from his overdrawn spirit, he should be fine."

After hearing this, the beautiful wolf girl with brown skin and black hair relaxed a little. But her slightly glowing golden eyes were still full of anxiety and suspicion.

——When stared at by that pair of wolf eyes, the captain felt as if he was being stared at by a powerful monster.

"Please rest assured, we will do our best to treat your young master's injuries... But can you two please tell me what happened here before?"

It was impossible for these volunteers, who were just a mob, to repel so many monsters without anyone dying. Even the border defense corps, which had been dealing with monsters for many years, could not guarantee that there would be no casualties in this beast tide.

"You ask what happened... We stopped all those beasts who wanted to rush into the city, it's that simple."

"How is it possible... No, I mean... Let's put you two aside, the others only have that kind of strength..."

After understanding what the captain wanted to ask, the handsome mercenary immediately raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You should have asked other people as well, right? What did they say?"

"They said... they didn't know."

"Hahaha, that's right. After all, they still don't know why they survived, but I can give you a hint."

After watching the mercenary laugh in mockery, the captain finally heard the answer he wanted -

"The Empire's military god is still here - that's all you need to know now."

It would take him some time to fully understand what this sentence meant.
