As night fell, the general of the detachment lurking near the south gate of Halmut became anxious.

The south gate was about to open, and they were supposed to rush in, but now the time limit had passed. To make matters worse, the sound of swords in the distance had already foreshadowed the occurrence of abnormal conditions.

However, if the city gates are not opened, then the thousand elite troops he leads will do nothing. Although in this case, keeping the elite troops quiet is a comfort to the general, how long they can last depends on his own shoulders.

The scouts sent to the vicinity of the South Gate have still not returned.

Just as he was considering whether to send two more people out and consult with his adjutant, a beam of laser penetrated the elite troops and cut them down. The general realized that they were attacked, but there was no sound.

"Arrange your team! Check the enemy situation!"

Another voice came from a different location. He turned his head and saw a gleaming sword-like object. Every time it swept through an arc, several soldiers fell down, splashing blood.

"Sir, I have only confirmed one enemy! It is likely a magician!"

"Damn it, stay calm! What can one person do!"

The general issued orders, but the chaos did not abate.

Just as the melee died down, the laser beams extended again, and the soldiers fell again. It was unknown what exactly happened.

When he tried to identify the enemy himself, a sharp pain struck his side. He looked down and found that his side was pierced by a metal hand knife.

"I can't let you succeed so easily. Let's end it here."

The lightsaber flashed, and the general lost consciousness forever.

------------------

Apart from the rubbing of armor, almost no other sound could be heard on the battlefield.

In a display of organized counterattack, Ye Kai cut them down with beam lasers, closing in and knocking the enemies away before slicing them apart with his lightsaber.

Although nearly half of the enemy had been cut, this unit showed no signs of fleeing, which made them look very impressive, but Ye Kai felt there was no reason to show mercy. As long as they continued to chop and kill, everything would be over.

As he faced the approaching and twisted enemy, he felt himself becoming calmer and calmer.

(Maybe this is why I can't fit into modern society.)

I shook my fist and felt a little sad at the thought of this irony.

Despite this, Ye Kai remained determined because he hoped that persistence was not giving up. He never wanted to have that experience again. Since that sunny day, he has embarked on a path of no return.

Looking around, soldiers were lying on the ground. In the darkness, all he could hear were cries of pain and the sound of death. Ye Kai turned his back to the night and began to climb the city wall.

The enemy's control was successfully broken, but Heinz was still full of dissatisfaction. While thinking about what to do, someone shouted, "Is it over? Thank you so much. Thank you for your hard work."

"But, he committed suicide. In doing so, everything..."

When he turned his head and heard the sound, he saw the miserable state of a young man covered in blood, and he also realized that he was in the middle of a battle.

"I'm sorry, I tried to subdue him but he killed himself."

“No, that’s OK. He’s probably trained to do that.”

Ye Kai looked at the body and realized that they would not be able to find anything to confirm the identity.

"Well, let's leave this place to the others. I want to report the situation. Can you come with me, Mr. Heinz?"

"Ah, I see." He answered briefly, then followed Ye Kai.

Ye Kai rode through the town until he reached Noble Street, and Heinz rode behind him. Even though the guards at the city gate let them through, Heinz's doubts were evident in his words.

“Where are you going! No, who are you!”

“Please wait a moment. We will be there soon.”

Heinz marveled at his ability to remain calm while running, but in the following situation, he was unable to make a sound.

They stopped and bowed before the guards at the palace gate. Heinz dismounted and followed them in, but he still felt uneasy.

Further inside, they were left waiting in front of a richly decorated gate. For someone like Heinz who had never set foot in the palace, he didn't know that this was the audience gate.

However, he only felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, as if he had been involved in an incredible incident.

"Ye Kai, you're back. That!! You, what is that!?"

“It’s blood. But it’s okay.”

The boy dyed red attracted attention.

"Ye Kai, go change your clothes quickly. This won't work..."

“Sorry, sister. Let me report first.”

“Okay. Sorry.”

The noble boy who was talking to Ye Kai was the prince himself, and the beautiful woman was his fiancée. Heinz was so surprised that his mouth opened wide, not knowing what to say.

"This, this is..."

"It's the audience hall. I have something to say, Your Majesty!" He said, directing the military officer sitting at the big table to come over: "Go ahead. What happened?"

This solemn figure came forward, and as a king, Heinz was at a loss. He could only stand aside with Ye Kai.

"There was a bypass force deployed outside the South Gate, and we have eliminated them."

“Outside the South Gate?”

Ye Kai pointed to the map on the large table, showing the route that the Treba army might have taken and the route that branched off from there to the south gate.

"It is very likely that the eastern army is a cover in the initial stage. They want us to pay attention to the east, and then send a small number of elite troops to raid from the south gate to create enough chaos, and then open the east gate from the inside and bring in the army."

"How is this possible... If you found out, why didn't you tell us? Then we could send troops."

"We are not sure. Moreover...if the terrain intelligence is leaked to the enemy, it may expose our big moves." He said in a low voice.

"Well, you are right. Secretary of War, send a team of 500 people to investigate outside the South Gate!"

"Yes, I will."

Suddenly, out of the chaos of the audience hall, instructions began to fly in.

"But the defense of the South Gate should be tight enough."

"We were attacked from within. That's why we requested his support. Please report the situation, Mr. Heinz." Ye Kai answered Prince Klein's question, then suddenly turned to him and knelt down in surprise.

“Report. I received a request from Ye Kai to go to the South Gate. We were immediately attacked and successfully repelled, but we were unable to control all the survivors, and one of them committed suicide. Please forgive me!”

“No, you successfully helped Ye Kai. Thank you.”

"Your Highness, please give Mr. Heinz and his men appropriate rewards."

"Of course. After everything is over, you will definitely get the corresponding reward."

Heinz was still in confusion and tension, and did not react much to these words. In addition, he was even more surprised by the events that followed.

"It's already a bit difficult for me to deal with the inner and outer gates by myself, but fortunately I have his help."

"It is a great honor for the Knight to have a magic boxer say this. Heinz."

"Eh...Magic Boxer?" He didn't understand what the other person said, so he turned to the noble in front of him and asked.

"Don't you know? This is the magic boxer."

"Ye Kai, you..."

“I just get called that sometimes. Do I look that different?”

"...No, indeed. Although I think you are very powerful..."

Ye Kai took Heinz's hand and helped him stand up, shaking hands: "You are also very good. If possible, can we be friends?"

"Ah, of course." Heinz was still a little confused, but the situation was developing.

The South Gate outside reported that about a thousand soldiers were in a state of half-death or death. The formation of troops was underway, and the countermeasures against the Eastern Army were also being promoted.

"Now, it's Galatea's turn, right?"

"Well, leave it to me. I will show my true strength to those who attempt to attack Holtzlane." Galatea smiled like a beast.
