As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, he saw countless small white balls fly in through the window. Then, a flame shot towards the floating white balls. "Bang bang..." The white balls that touched the flame exploded one after another. Instantly, the hall was filled with smoke, obscuring everyone's vision. However, it could not block Lu Yi's view. After the smoke filled the entire hall, Lu Yi clearly saw Louise, Saito, Tabasa, and the others quickly sneak in.

"They've finally arrived." Lu Yi thought to himself with a smirk upon seeing this.

"Tabasa, let's go." Taking advantage of the bandits' obstructed view, Chuluk and Tabasa actually attacked the bandit leader. However, the consequences were predictable. Not only did they fail, but they also put themselves in danger.

"What a pity," the bandit leader said expressionlessly as he approached Chuluk.

"Could it be that your eyes..."

"Ever since I was burned in the eyes, I haven't been able to see any light." The bandit leader reached out and took off the only eye, which turned out to be a fake eyeball.

"Why...why can you see us?" Chuluk asked in shock.

“Snakes use temperature to hunt prey. I’ve been manipulating flames for so long that I’ve finally become sensitive to temperature as well.” As he spoke, he walked up to Chuluk, grabbed her hair, and flung it away, saying, “I want to smell it. I really want to smell what you smell like when you’re burned.”

"don't want..."

As if ignoring Qiuluk's pleas for mercy, the bandit leader raised his magic wand and unleashed a fireball at Qiuluk. Seeing this, Lu Yi knew there was no need to hide any longer. He lunged at Qiuluk, shielding her with his body, while Lu Yi himself took the full brunt of the attack.

"what?"

"Sebastian..." the two people in Tiffany, surrounded by flames, cried out in alarm. Everyone, including Chuluk, stared at Lu Yi in shock.

"You're the first person to dare kill someone in front of me." Lu Yi stood up nonchalantly, dusted himself off, turned around and looked at the bandit leader expressionlessly, saying, "That attack just now was quite good. It actually made me feel the heat I haven't felt in a long time. However, it's not enough. Oh, by the way, do you like playing with fire? But do you know? Fire is a very dangerous energy. If you're not careful, there won't even be any ashes left."

"Hmph, it seems you do have some skill. You're completely unharmed."

"You flatter me, you flatter me. I just don't know if you can survive my attack." As Lu Yi spoke, he disappeared and reappeared behind the bandit leader, slapping him on the head and sending him flying.

"Hey, not bad physical condition, you're still alive." Under everyone's shocked gaze, Lu Yi walked up to the bandit leader and stepped on his head, saying this.

"hateful."

"It's been a long time since I've beaten someone up. I've been wanting to hear your screams. Today I can finally loosen up my neck, hehe... Don't worry, I won't let you die." Lu Yi said in a sinister tone, looking at the ugly big man beneath him. And so, Lu Yi began his inhumane beating.

"Ah..." Then, a terrifying scream echoed through the hall, lingering for a long time.

Chapter Seventeen: Heading to the Front Lines

"Ah, that felt so good." Lu Yi yelled after finishing the beating, then stretched and yawned, his whole body making a "crackling" sound. He then turned to Anies, who was still standing there in a daze, and said, "Alright, this guy is yours to deal with."

Because of Lu Yi's intervention, Anies was ultimately unable to find the culprit who burned down her village ten years ago. This was also Lu Yi's deliberate act, after all, Colbert was a talented person, and it would be a pity if he died. Although he did not die in the original story, due to his intervention, he could not guarantee that Colbert would survive this time.

"Alright, the matter is resolved, and I should head back now." After settling things, Lu Yi approached Tifania with a smile.

"Are you leaving so soon? I haven't even had a proper chat with you yet," Tifania said disappointedly when she heard that Lu Yi was leaving.

"Hehe... There's plenty of time ahead. For now, just live well here and make some friends."

"kindness."

"Dean Osman, I'm entrusting Princess Tifania to you." Lu Yi said as he approached Osman.

"Don't worry, Lord Sebastian."

"What? Do you have something to say to me?" Just then, Lu Yi noticed that Qiu Luke was standing awkwardly in front of him, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't, so he asked in confusion.

"Um... thank you for saving me," Qiuluk said, looking at Lu Yi's flushed face.

"Hehe... I didn't expect you, who used to be so open and bold, to have this kind of expression. Alright, no need to be so polite. Be more careful in the future, and don't be so reckless, it's very dangerous." Lu Yi reached out and patted his head with a smile.

"kindness."

Lu Yi looked up and around, finally fixing his gaze on one person, or more precisely, a woman with long, peach-pink hair. Louise was also beside that woman, along with another woman with long, golden hair. Seeing these three, Lu Yi had already guessed their identities.

"Excuse me, you must be Louise's second sister, Miss Katalia, right?" Lu Yi said as he walked up to the woman.

"Yes...yes, who are you?" Katalia asked Lu Yi, looking at him with suspicion.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sebastian Lu Yi. May I see your hand?” Lu Yi asked.

“This…” Katalia said hesitantly.

"Boy, what are you doing?" the blonde woman asked from the side.

“You must be Louise’s older sister, Miss Eleonore. If you want your sister to get better, don’t stop me,” Lu Yi said. “Also, I would like to meet your mother. She is a remarkable person.”

“How did you know?” Katria asked.

"We can tell, but we need to do further tests to find out what the disease is."

“Okay.” Katalia said, extending her right hand. Lu Yi grasped her hand, placed three fingers on her pulse, then closed his eyes, and then sent a wisp of his spiritual energy into her body to probe.

"I see. This isn't an illness; it's just that the energy in your body is too strong and you can't fully absorb it. Once you eliminate or absorb the excess energy, your illness will naturally get better," Lu Yi said after the examination.

"Then what should I do?"

"You are not capable of handling such minute details. I will personally visit your home in a few days."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Alright, I'm leaving. Bye-bye!" Lu Yi said as he walked out of the hall, and then instantly teleported back into the palace.

. . . .

The next morning, Lu Yi arrived at the military headquarters with his letter of appointment.

"Who are you?" Upon arriving at the gate of the military headquarters, Lu Yi was stopped by two guards.

“I am the newly appointed Marshal by Her Majesty the Queen. Today I am here to assume the post. This is my letter of appointment.” As he spoke, Lu Yi took out the letter of appointment given to him by Henrietta.

"Greetings, Marshal." The two knelt on one knee after seeing that the appointment letter was genuine.

"Get up, take me to the military headquarters," Lu Yi said.

"Yes, please follow me." With that, he led Lu Yi into the military headquarters hall.

When Lu Yi followed the guards into the hall, he saw a middle-aged general already waiting there.

"Greetings, Marshal. I am the Deputy Marshal of this military headquarters." The middle-aged general greeted Lu Yi with a bow as he entered.

"Okay, take me to the military camp. I need to inspect the troops," Lu Yi said to the middle-aged man.

"Yes, please follow me." With that, he walked out of the hall first, and Lu Yi followed.

Not long after, Lu Yi, led by the general, arrived at the military camp's drill ground. Standing on the high platform, looking down at the densely packed soldiers, Lu Yi was suddenly filled with emotion. Back on Earth, Lu Yi had also dreamed of being a soldier, hoping that one day he could be like those generals, leading troops to fight the enemy and making his own contribution to the country. Now that his wish had finally come true, Lu Yi felt as if he were in a dream.

"I'm sure you all know who I am now. War is coming. As soldiers of the nation, at this critical moment of life and death, the country needs you, and your families need you too. This time, I will fight alongside you. Let us protect our country and our families together. You are all the elite of the elite. On the battlefield, I will lead you to show your fangs to the invaders and let them know that Tristan is not a country to be slaughtered. Fight on, warriors! For your country, for your families, and for your future, Tristan will prevail!" Lu Yi stood on the high platform, drew his long sword from his waist, raised it high above his head, and shouted loudly to the densely packed soldiers below.

"Tristin will win."

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen."

. . . .

Looking at the soldiers below, stirred up by his words, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, let's go, destination: Albino."

"Yes."

As Lu Yi led his troops onto the warship, Henrietta personally came to see him off. Then, under Henrietta's worried gaze, the warship slowly set sail and flew into the air, heading towards the border front of Albi'ao, where they would fight alongside the Galmanian army.

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

Chapter 18: First Victory

Along the way, bored, Lu Yi sought out his deputy to discuss tactics. When Lu Yi explained the Thirty-Six Stratagems from Earth and the tactics from Sun Tzu's Art of War, the deputy was immediately amazed and became even more confident of victory in this war.

When Lu Yi's army arrived at its destination, the Galmanian army also arrived at the same time. The two armies together had about 500 warships and more than 300,000 troops, while the Tristene army had only about 100,000 troops and far more warships. There was nothing they could do; they were just a small country and couldn't compare.

"Marshal, Vice Marshal, the Marshal of Garmania requests your presence for a ceremony." Just as Lu Yi and the vice general were discussing tactics, a soldier ran in and addressed them.

“I know, I’ll be right there,” Lu Yi said.

"Looks like Garmania is going to make a name for itself this time," Lu Yi said with a smile after dismissing the soldiers.

"With the Marshal here, I believe victory will surely be ours, Tristín," the lieutenant said with a smile.

"Haha... Of course, let's go, let's go meet those old guys from Garmania." Lu Yi said with a loud laugh.

After saying that, he laughed loudly and walked out first, and the deputy general followed with a smile.

"Report."

"Come in."

"Marshal and Vice Marshal of Torristin have arrived."

"Please let them in."

"Yes."

Having received permission, the guards respectfully invited Lu Yi and his accompanying deputy general inside. As Lu Yi and his deputy entered, Lu Yi saw that the leaders of the Galmania army were already waiting there. However, Lu Yi was very displeased with their arrogant demeanor. After all, they were from a great nation, so such an attitude was normal. However, once Lu Yi defeated Albimo, Galmania could no longer underestimate Tristin.

"Greetings, I am Marshal Sebastian Lu Yi, appointed by Her Majesty Queen Tristine. I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Tristine Front. This is my deputy, Brut." After entering, Lu Yi looked at the people sitting there and finally fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man sitting in the middle. Judging from his clothes and expression, Lu Yi knew that he was the Commander-in-Chief of Galmania.

"Does Tristine have no one else? They sent a brat instead."

"Is Tristan joking about war?"

"That's it."

"But it doesn't matter, since this war is being led by us, Galmania."

When the Galmanians saw that Tristin had sent such a young man as marshal, they all looked at Lu Yi and discussed among themselves, wondering what Tristin was up to. They weren't wrong; Lu Yi looked to be only about 20 years old. Compared to the youngest people here who were over 30, Lu Yi did look too young. However, they only saw the surface. If they knew Lu Yi's real age, they wondered what they would think. While everyone else was discussing, only one person's gaze never left Lu Yi after he walked in, and Lu Yi didn't avoid looking directly at him.

"Enough, all of you shut up." After a long while, the middle-aged man finally looked away and saw that the people around him were still making a ruckus. He shouted, "Look at you all, where is your dignity as nobles?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's loud shout, the group finally stopped talking, and the meeting room immediately fell silent.

"I apologize for the spectacle, Marshal Sebas." Seeing that the group had quieted down, the middle-aged man bowed to Lu Yi and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of Garmania this time, Beerus. Please give me your guidance."

"Hehe... I don't deserve such praise." Lu Yi certainly wouldn't bother with those clown-like characters, but he did admire Beerus quite a bit.

"Report!" A soldier suddenly walked in and said.

"What is it?" Beerus asked.

“Albino’s army is on its way here, and they are less than ten miles away.”

"All troops prepare for battle! We'll give Albi Subaru a taste of his power right here, and make sure they don't leave alive!" Beerus swiftly issued the order.
