"Let's go. We destroy the magical beasts right now." Kai shouted out loud.

As he predicted, the reinforcement from two bases arrived. After getting their order, they split into four. The first two were to become a wall in their left and right armies while the other two would follow Kai and Brad.

They were a bit surprised to see Kai Carter in front, but luckily, most of the soldiers came from British Columbia. There were many soldiers that saw Kai's gallant appearance during an emergency mission a year ago, so they willingly followed him. In fact, their morale was the highest among the other soldiers.

They waited for a while until the first two groups could arrive at the furthest position.

It took him fifteen minutes before he got information that everything had been set up. Brad also led his army.

They were currently standing side by side until that one shout from Kai.

"Ooh!" The soldiers responded to him as they ran forward.

Kai and Brad sped up as both of them arrived in front of the magical beast rank a few seconds before the army could hit.

These two wanted to set the example of what they should do.

The moment they struck the first bet, it quickly became two, four, and before long, they had wreaked havoc on the enemy line.

The soldiers who originated from the center army quickly opened the way so these two armies could come out to strike their objectives.

Not knowing why, they found Kai and Brad looked very assuring. Just by watching their back, they could fight against so many beasts.

The clash escalated into one big fight until they penetrated deep enough. Kai glanced at Brad and said, "Then, Commander. I will leave the right side to you."

Brad paused for a moment and turned around while saying, "Good luck to you."

Kai smiled when he heard it. He shouted. "Now! Change direction. Follow the one in front of you and make sure you are not left behind."

Michelle arrived beside him to help, but Kai sped up a bit more while gradually making his way toward the left. The soldiers followed him without any complaint.

Finally, these two armies went in the opposite directions of each other, cutting down so many magical beasts and creating a gap between their rank. This allowed the other soldiers to take advantage of it to rest or bring the wounded back.

Kai and the soldiers kept charging ahead as long as Kai was in the very front. Michelle knew that he shouldn't joke around or something, so she chose to stay hidden while supporting him from behind so as to not affect the army's morale.

After around ten minutes, the soldiers from his army found Kai, bringing another army with him.

"That's the commander!"

"Commander Kai!"

The morale surprisingly rose just by seeing him return.

Kai killed a giant beast and leaped on top of it while shouting. "Where is my vanguard army?"

"!!!" Most of them looked around as if they got called.

"Come down here right now. We will sweep them in a more brutal way!"

"O-oh!"

"Haha! It's time for me to join then." Yuki shouted and leaped to the ground. "Those who don't want to get left behind should come down right now. We will break through the enemy rank and follow the commander."

"Ooh!" The soldiers roared as they quickly followed Yuki's footsteps, breaking the enemy formation just to regroup with Kai.

At the same time, Kai kept killing the enemies but decreasing his pace, allowing his own army to catch up.

When they regrouped, he shouted another command. "Continue like this for two hours."

"Yes, Sir."

Before going, Kai pointed at Isabelle while saying something that only she could see with her eagle eyes.

'Use the air support if the situation goes wrong.'

Isabelle smiled and muttered, "Leave it to me. Nothing won't go wrong."

Kai smiled and began rampaging in the battlefield as he made his way to the furthest left. He didn't count it, but he believed that his group already killed ten thousand beasts in thirty minutes. However, they also started getting exhausted after so much fighting in the first place.

Just like he predicted, the army managed to penetrate the enemy rank until the end of their line. The forty thousand reinforcement quickly made their positions, forming the wall.

With how they positioned themselves, the magical beasts would get pinched by the army Kai's brought and the original army on this battlefield. They were quickly wiped out since they only had one escape route, which was toward the middle army where Dun stayed.

Kai quickly turned around and led the second charge to wipe all of them while returning to the headquarters, not forgetting to ask his Vanguard Team to return.

As soon as he came back, he found Brad Matthew not long after he arrived.

"Good work. Let's retreat and have the soldiers rest. We shall do it again after one hour." Kai nodded.

"Alright." Brad nodded back and followed him to the tent, where they discussed the plan.

The officers with them managed the soldiers and let them rest.

They did this strategy a few times. All of their kills combined numbered up to one million and the sun was almost set, so Kai wanted to get another plan to hold the magical beasts during the night since he couldn't provide every single soldier a night vision.

Brad agreed and offered a few suggestions.

Suddenly, Kai looked up as if he heard something. "They have come… Let's use them to defend the night."

"The reinforcement?" Brad narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. Let's change a plan then." Kai slammed the table as the reinforcement completely changed the direction of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Dun laughed when looking at the trucks bringing the soldiers. "Haha, reinforcement comes."

The reinforcement was one hundred thousand strong according to the information. In other words, they would have no problem withstanding three to four million magical beasts as long as they kept fighting with this type of warfare.

However, he froze when he saw someone standing on top of the first truck. He fell on his butt while pointing his finger toward the leader. "You…You…You…Why are you here…Brother?"

"A direct order from the president, so I am here. Though, I don't really mind since I have someone that I want to see." He leaped to Dun and smiled.

Dun's brother was also a middle-aged man, but unlike Dun's messy and uncaring appearance, he tied his shoulder length hair neatly and acted like a gentleman. He turned around and found Kai Carter walking toward him.

"Nice to meet you, Kai Carter. I am one of the S Rank Magicians in this base, Rain." He gracefully nodded, but his eyes were observing Kai's expression to see what kind of man Kai Carter really is.

Kai nodded. "I am Kai Carter. It's my pleasure to meet you, General Rain. May I know what the order is?"

"It's nothing much, but there is a possibility of… I think I don't need to say it, right?" He smiled playfully.

Kai's expression darkened as he sighed. "It seems there is no other possibility. The fact that the magical beasts are evolving at this rate, someone must have done all this. And there is one suspect that I think all of you know."

Rain smiled and said while narrowing his eyes. "The protector's so-called Princess, the mermaid."

"!!!" The group's expressions turned serious.

"I have been expecting them, but I don't know whether they will come out or not."

"I think they will come out. After listening to the battle progress, I believe that if they want to strike, it's better to do it now. No, I think they will do it either tomorrow or the day after. We would have exhausted ourselves during that time."

"…" Kai looked down, falling into deep thought. Michelle said that Rain's strategy was like Ethan's, so he must have said it for a reason. "In that case, we need a change of plan."

"I do agree. Your current strategy allows you to handle the monsters quickly, but I have observed something weird."

"Would you mind sharing it with me? No, maybe we should enter the tent first."

"It's nothing big, I can say it here. One weird thing is the number of flying beasts. Don't you think they are low in number?"

"!!!" Kai instantly realized what he was trying to say. "I see. There will be a second wave."

"How many do you think will come?" Rain asked.

"It's not going to be much. My prediction is around two to three hundred thousand. It's nothing compared to the current number, but we will be devastated if they come with protectors." Kai nodded.

"As expected from Commander Kai, I am impressed by your intelligence despite being a second-year student." He smiled.

"For now, change the plan for attrition warfare. Chip down the enemy number while we are preserving our own." Kai waved his hands, telling the other officers to quickly inform the other armies.

Meanwhile, Rain didn't leave him alone and asked. "How about formulating the plan in the tent right now?"

"Before that, I want you to answer one question first."

"Please tell me." Rain smiled.

Kai's face turned serious as he narrowed his eyes, staring at Rain. "What is the direct order from the president?"

Rain's smile became even bigger as he had the same serious expression as Kai. The others gulped down, not knowing how these two men could create this kind of pressure just by asking each other.

If they were opponents from different sides, they would have clashed already, destroying this place. However, they were the people from the same side, so it was up to Rain to decide the outcome of this battle.

No one knew about the direct order at the moment, so Rain could lie and no one would know about it until later. However, no one could read his thoughts. That's why Kai wanted to make the matter clear first, especially since the other party was a four-star general.

Suddenly, Rain straightened his pose and saluted. "Rain Stewex's reporting to Commander Kai Carter. I shall assist you in this battle as your deputy alongside Commander Brad Matthew. I will follow your every order, Commander."

Even with him lowering his status, he still generated the same pressure.

"Yes. I will be counting on you." Kai calmly turned around and walked back to the tent. "For now, arrange the reinforcement to the ideal condition, Commander Rain. I am sure that this is your forte, right?"

Rain's body shook as he never thought that Kai would actually attack him like this. It was true that his ability was similar to Ethan in this area, but him leaving it like this put more pressure on his shoulders because his image would get smeared if he couldn't do this perfectly.

"I understand, Commander Kai. I shall do my best to not disappoint you." Instead of getting angered by Kai's attitude, he clenched his fist excitedly while thinking, 'This kid…Is interesting.'
