The captain of the guards gritted his teeth and did not choose to leave. Instead, he kicked Saidat, the strongest magician in the army and his good friend, away, then drew his sword and held it above his head to face the terrifying blow from above.

"boom!!!"

A huge tremor spread from the snowfield, shaking the earth into pieces and scattering them.

Fortunately, it is not winter now and there is no snow on the snowfield. Otherwise, if the knife is cut, it will probably cause an avalanche of snow and cause a natural disaster.

Saidat, who was kicked out, was blown several meters away by the aftermath of the slash, and turned twice in the air before falling to the ground.

In an instant, the sky and the earth turned upside down, the sun and the moon rotated, and Saidat fell to the ground and struggled two or three times before he climbed up from the ground with difficulty.

"puff"

After spitting out a pool of blood from his mouth, Sayidat looked forward with his still hazy vision.

Now, at the ambush point where our group is lying in wait, all that can be seen is a gray, bloody color.

Not even a wail.

This means that apart from himself, there may be no one left alive at the previous ambush point.

Saidat summoned his staff, desperately suppressing his own magical reaction, and retreated backwards.

As a battle hero who had experienced hundreds of battles, Saidat was not blinded by hatred at this time.

He knew clearly that if he went up there in his current state, he would be committing suicide.

Only when a safe distance is maintained can the magician be effective.

Only by performing as a magician should can I live up to my old friend's sacrifice to save me.

"perhaps."

"Maybe he's not dead yet."

"That guy is very tough. Didn't he ask for protection from the goddess before leaving?"

"Besides, we agreed to go back and get married."

Saidat controlled his inner turmoil and walked towards a nearby ambush point where his comrades were lying in wait.

"Maybe he was just knocked away by the demons and fell off a cliff. Just like before, he crawled out of the boulders on his own after a few days."

"I have to win this battle and survive"

"After the war, we have to dig him out from the boulders as quickly as possible."

"Pah-ta-"

Saidat, who was struggling to retreat while supporting his staff, seemed to have stepped on something.

Subconsciously looking down, I saw a short braid with wet top and a playful and cute pink candy accessory at the end.

He had boasted about it to himself for a long time, saying that he had secretly taken it from his wife's dressing table when they parted.

Whenever I thought of her in the army, I would touch her a few times, as if I could touch her hair.

Looking at the braid at his feet, Saidat kept swallowing and wanted to speak, but the blood was choking his vocal cords and it was difficult to make any sound.

Squatting down, he picked it up in his arms, then took a few steps forward and finally met his comrades at another ambush point.

After all, this force stationed at the border has extremely rich experience in actual combat with the demons.

Even though there were a small number of new recruits, under the command of the team leader or mature veterans in the team, they all responded in the best way after the initial confusion.

Those whose ambush point is close to the village should immediately go to the village to support Lord Duncan and unleash the powerful combat power of this [Court Magician].

If the ambush site is too far from the village or too close to the position of the [Demon General], and those who believe they cannot return to provide support will immediately draw their swords against the [Demon General] and drag him here to buy time for other comrades to act.

They were originally going to fight the [Demon General] to the death, but the moment they saw Saidat, a strong soldier carried him on his back, indicating that they were ready.

"it is good."

Sayida nodded, waving his staff, mixing his anger into the surging magic power, and blasted it straight at the [Demon General] who was slaughtering soldiers in the distance.

The strong soldier carrying Saidat also hurriedly ran down the mountain.

In the distance, the [Demon General] who was about to swing his sword to cut down a few more human soldiers immediately stopped.

He held the sword in front of him, blocking the long-range attack from the magician to the extreme extent.

But despite this, the aftermath of the magic bombardment still made it look dusty and dirty, no longer the unstoppable god of war it once was.

"Interesting, I couldn't find your location, but you ended up showing up here yourself!"

[Demon General] roared, ignoring the siege of the surrounding human soldiers, and ran straight towards the direction of Sayyidat.

After all, even if these human soldiers were brave, they could only make a small cut on their bodies.

But if this magician is not dealt with soon, he might really kill himself.

Along the way, soldiers at other ambush points saw this situation and came forward one after another, trying desperately to stop the Demon General's advance.

They did it, although the cost was huge, but the speed of the [Demon General]'s advance was indeed slowed down, even slower than the soldiers carrying Sayidat on their backs.

With his comrades fighting for their lives, Sayyid no longer had to worry about anything. He bombarded the Demon General with magic spells one after another. Under such an intensive attack, even the Demon General could not withstand it all, and soon there was a hole in his body.

The injured [Demon General] roared, kicked off the ground with his feet, and jumped high into the air, unleashing a terrifying slash in the direction of Sayyidat.

"boom--!"

Before the [Demon General]'s slash could land, in the village below, a thick beam of magic power shot straight towards the [Demon General] who was in the air and could no longer change direction.

Although due to the angle problem, the magic beam did not hit the vital parts of the demon.

But due to this interference, the point where the [Demon General]'s attack landed was greatly affected and deviated from Sayyidat's position by several meters.

"Well done, Duncan!"

Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, Sayidat raised his staff high and tried his best to squeeze out all the magic power in his body, leaving not a drop for the next attack or defense.

Just like that, the [Hellfire Magic] that he had learned from Lady Celie, filled with all his own magical power, gushed out!

Blackened flames burned fiercely on the body of the Demon General. Amidst its intense wailing, it was feared that it would be burned to ashes in a few seconds.

"Human, your plan is truly evil!"

"There's no such thing as a traitorous leaker, you..."

"They're all in the same gang!"

As he finished speaking, the body of the [Demon General] was completely burned clean, which meant that the ultimate target of this operation - the [Demon General], had been annihilated.

However, there was no trace of joy or relief on Sayyidat's face at this moment.

"A leaker of information that turned against the human side."

After repeatedly pondering the words of the Demon General before his death, some of Sayyidat's doubts were instantly answered, but at the same time, new doubts were planted.

The Demon Race's [General] is not the Demon Race's [Sage]. Its attainments in magic are entirely dependent on racial talent.

Although he is not weaker than a human apprentice magician, that is all he can do.

Being able to detect a target lying in ambush in the distance with deliberately concealed magic power in the dark is already beyond their capabilities.

What's more, the demons, who are proud in their hearts, rarely do such things.

Even if the [Demon Sages] had the ability to do the same thing, they would rarely be so cautious.

This is the basis of the ambush plan that Duncan and I made.

Therefore, when Saidat was attacked by the [Demon General], the first feeling he had was not panic or fear, but confusion!

My mind went blank and I had no idea why it came to me.

And now, the "Leaker" on the human side has answered this question for Sayyidat.

But the new problem that arises is

Who is this "leaker"? Or, is there really such a "leaker"?

Is there a slight possibility that this is just a way for the demons to alienate humans before they die?

Sayyidat sat there, his mind in a tangle.

At this moment, Duncan, who had dealt with the remaining demons in the village with the support of the ambush troops, walked over and extended his hand to Sayyid, who was slumped on the ground.

Looking at the hand extended to him by this battle commander who "knew all the deployments of this operation" and "was specifically sent to guard the village which was theoretically the most dangerous", Saidat was silent for a few seconds before grabbing him and standing up.

A day later, the work of cleaning up the battlefield and searching for the dead soldiers was nearing completion.

In addition to the bloody hair picked up by Sayyidat, the soldiers also recovered the captain of the guards' broken sword, broken palm, and a piece of his arm.

Apart from this, no complete body has been found yet.

After hearing the news, Sayidat, who was a member of the search team, was silent for a long time and almost fainted.

Afterwards, when he regained consciousness in the afternoon, he started clearing away all the boulders he could see on the battlefield, until he became exhausted several times and completely passed out.

When Sayyidat woke up again, he found Duncan standing beside his bed, with his back to him, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

"You're awake."

Feeling the movement behind him, Duncan turned and looked at Saidat, who was holding a thick staff towards him, with no surprise on his face.

"Ever since I heard the Demon General's last words from the other soldiers, I've suspected this would happen."

"So, Duncan, do you have anything else to explain to me?"

"Like last time, it's those forces that are hostile to you again. In order to completely eliminate you, they even colluded with the [Demon Clan]?"

In response to Sayyidat's sneer and questioning, Duncan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to defend myself."

"As I said last time, I'm always reluctant to explain what has already happened, because even if the explanation is good, it can't change anything."

"Even if I could provide concrete evidence that someone is colluding with the demons, your suspicions about me would still remain. A fallen warrior cannot be resurrected."

"Besides, I don't have any evidence."

Saidat:.

After a long silence, Saidat put away his staff and lay back on the hospital bed.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Duncan walked forward, took out two documents and handed them over.

"what is this?"

"One is the appointment document for the dean of the Imperial Magic Academy. My name isn't on it. Although the official appointment document was only recently issued, the voting time is recorded on it. Due to petitions from numerous professors and student groups, the election was postponed, and the winner was decided before the battle even began."
