Caesar also sensed the enemy's last stubborn resistance. Although they had lost their core commander, the Hermes warriors still seemed unwilling to retreat easily.

"They're on the verge of collapse." A cool, murderous glint flashed in Caesar's eyes. He was used to this intense pace of battle; now, all he needed to do was make one final, decisive strike to shatter the enemy's resistance.

Suddenly, several enemies in the distance began to gather, attempting a final counterattack.

One of the warriors held aloft a runic spear, seemingly preparing some powerful incantation attack. Caesar immediately noticed this, his heart tightening. "They're preparing for their final incantation attack; we can't let them succeed!"

"Concentrate firepower!" Chu Zihang decisively ordered, brandishing his blade and leading his team swiftly toward the enemy's core.

Not to be outdone, Caesar reloaded his pistols and pulled the trigger without hesitation, bullets raining down on the spear-wielding warrior.

"Bang bang bang!" The bullets struck the enemy precisely, interrupting their preparation of the incantation.

Caught off guard, the spear slipped from the soldier's hand, and he staggered backward before collapsing to the ground. Seeing this, the remaining enemies panicked, and their formation began to crumble.

"The enemy has lost the ability to fight back. Now is the time to annihilate them!" Tian's voice was cold and decisive. The bullets fired from his dual pistols were incredibly accurate, each one hitting the enemy's vitals.

Caesar followed closely behind, his gun flashing continuously, suppressing the enemy's counterattack.

The enemy's defenses collapsed rapidly, and their morale was completely shattered.

The remaining warriors began to scatter and flee, realizing they were no longer able to fight. Caesar watched the fleeing enemies and felt a sense of relief, but he did not let his guard down, maintaining his firing rate to ensure that no one escaped.

"Don't let them escape. Clean up the battlefield," Chu Zihang said coldly, his tone showing no sign of leniency.

Caesar and his teammates advanced together, beginning to completely wipe out the remaining enemy forces. His movements were swift and decisive, his dual pistols striking their targets time and again, as if each bullet was announcing the end of the battle.

“We won…” Lu Mingfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders covered in sweat, but a rare smile appeared on his face. “We finally took care of these guys.”

His voice carried a hint of weariness and joy. The fierce battle had put him under considerable pressure, but the joy of victory eventually allowed him to relax.

Caesar stood in the center of the battlefield, looking at the enemy wreckage that had been cleared away, and felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

This battle was not only a victory, but also a personal testament to him. He knew that he was no longer a puppet bound by his family, but a warrior fighting for the academy.

Chu Zihang walked to Caesar's side, looked at him calmly, and nodded slightly. "You did very well, Caesar," he said briefly, his tone full of approval and trust.

A warm feeling welled up in Caesar's heart, and he said softly, "This is our victory."

"Tian, ​​continue scouting the surrounding area to ensure there are no further enemy reinforcements." Chu Zihang turned around and continued issuing orders. "Caesar and Lu Mingfei, clear the battlefield and ensure all enemies are eliminated."

Caesar and Lu Mingfei immediately began their operation, meticulously examining every corner of the battlefield to prevent any escapees. They dared not overlook a single detail; after all, the cunning and power of the Hermes family made them acutely aware of the need for caution.

As Caesar was clearing the battlefield, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

"Although we won this battle, why do I feel like something's not right?" He frowned, as if he sensed that some hidden threat had not been completely eliminated.

"What are you worried about?" Lu Mingfei noticed Caesar's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask.

“I’m not sure… I have a feeling the Hermes family won’t give up so easily,” Caesar said in a low voice, his gaze still sweeping across the battlefield, as if waiting for some unseen enemy.

Hearing Caesar's doubts, Chu Zihang stopped and turned to look at him. "Your feeling is correct. There's a much bigger conspiracy behind the Hermes family. This is just one part of their forces."

His voice carried a hint of alertness, clearly indicating that he was aware of some lurking crisis.

Caesar's heart tightened again. Although the battle was temporarily over, he knew that the struggle with the Hermes family was far from over.

The future of the academy remains fraught with unknown dangers, and he will continue on this path of battle, protecting everything he cherishes.

“We need to return to the academy, gather intelligence, and plan our next move,” Chu Zihang said decisively. “The Hermes family still poses a threat, and we must be even more prepared.”

Caesar nodded, secretly resolving that he would continue to fight without hesitation until the enemy was completely defeated.

As the troops regrouped and withdrew, Caesar surveyed the devastation on the battlefield, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

This victory is just the beginning; the real battle still awaits him.

Even as Caesar and his squad cleaned up the battlefield, their spirits were not completely lifted. Although the enemy had been utterly defeated, a tense atmosphere still lingered in the air.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the remaining traces of explosions and fallen enemies on the battlefield gave the scene a solemn atmosphere. Caesar followed in Chu Zihang's footsteps, his gaze still vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Although they had seemingly won, their inner alertness never wavered.

“Once we return to the academy, we must immediately report the details of this operation,” Chu Zihang said in a low voice as he walked, his tone serious. “The Hermes family’s operation is definitely not an isolated incident; they must have a larger plan.”

Caesar nodded, his eyes still tense, clearly agreeing with Chu Zihang's assessment. He could sense that behind all this lay many more secrets; the Hermes family's retreat might only be temporary, and their forces were still secretly plotting an even greater conspiracy.

"Heaven, what do you think we should do next?" Caesar asked, turning to Tian. He had great trust in Tian's calmness and wisdom, especially in this battle, where Tian's decisiveness and accurate analysis had bought them valuable time.

“We can no longer give the Hermes family a chance to breathe.” Tian’s golden eyes flashed with a sharp light as he calmly analyzed the situation. “We must immediately organize our intelligence and take action based on their movements. We cannot be passively attacked; we must take the initiative.”

Caesar agreed with these words. He also knew that if the Hermes family were given the opportunity to retaliate, they would face even greater danger.

“But we have limited leads right now, and the forces behind them are very secretive. To completely defeat them, we need more intelligence,” Caesar said thoughtfully, his tone tinged with caution.

“The intelligence issue can be handled by Norma.” Chu Zihang’s voice was firm and strong. When he mentioned Norma, the academy’s artificial intelligence, his tone was full of trust. “Norma will help us analyze the enemy’s movements and track the Hermes family’s next plan based on all the data we have collected from this battle.”

“Norma is indeed a very powerful tool,” Tian nodded and said. “However, we must also be careful. The Hermes family has been trying to bypass the Academy’s surveillance. Their plan is likely to be a multi-layered mystery.”

“In that case, we’ll retrieve Norma’s analysis results immediately upon returning to the academy,” Caesar said, his tone resolute. “Time is of the essence; we can’t afford to give them a chance to retaliate.”

As the battlefield cleanup was gradually completed, Chu Zihang, Tian, ​​Lu Mingfei, and Caesar returned to the academy with the spoils of war and intelligence data.

Night had fallen over the land, and the distant mountains faintly exuded a chilling aura, as if foreshadowing the impending crisis. But the team members showed no sign of letting their guard down; their fighting spirit against the Hermes family still burned brightly in their hearts.

Several hours later, Caesar and his team finally returned to Kassel College.

The academy's gates appeared particularly imposing in the night, the surrounding tranquility a stark contrast to the battle raging outside. Caesar stood at the academy's entrance, gazing at the familiar buildings, feeling a sense of security mixed with a lingering unease.
