"The other is a report on this battle. News of this great victory has reached the Imperial Capital. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that the participants in this battle be rewarded according to their merits, and this report will serve as the basis for the reward."

"So, Duncan, are you trying to prove to me that you have no reason to do this, and at the same time use this battle report to silence me?"

"Let me see, I actually got the most credit in the battle report. Duncan, you're really generous."

Duncan stood aside, still looking at Saidat straight in the eye as before, without any guilty dodging or the urge to clear his name.

Some, just peace.

"Duncan, as a fellow [Combat Hero] in the Imperial Army, I have heard some things about you."

"Besides describing your ambition and scheming, there's probably something else that says you're quite grateful."

"Over the years, you've used your military achievements and status to take care of the [Weize] region, haven't you?"

"Lord Gluck raised me and is also my father-in-law. It's only right that he does what he can."

Duncan replied, but this time, there was a hint of emotion in his words, no longer as calm as before.

"I see." Saidat nodded. "Well, I'll do you a favor. Remember to repay my kindness."

"I promised Lady Celia that after this matter is resolved, I will resign from the military and return to be her disciple, serving her for the rest of my life."

"The honor of the military is of no use to me anymore. Moreover, the glimpse of the powerful and privileged class in you makes me feel uncomfortable and disgusted."

"Instead of giving the first credit to me, it would be better for you to take it so that you can make further progress in your career."

"I only hope that you can take care of my old friend's widow and this piece of land where he and countless comrades sacrificed their lives. That will be enough."

"Okay, I promise you."

With Saidat's permission, both sides revised the description of the battle results in the battle report submitted to His Majesty.

The strategist, battlefield commander, and the one who ultimately killed the Demon General in this battle to annihilate the Demon General were all the [Court Magician - Duncan].

The next day, Sayidat returned to his hometown after being discharged from the hospital. He paid homage to his deceased parents and relatives, and told them that the [Demon General] who had previously massacred his hometown had now been killed by his son.

Everyone, including myself, can sleep peacefully.

For several decades thereafter, there was no war in the north.

【Finish】

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

A small extra in the extra

On the night after Sayyidat had paid tribute to his parents, in a naturally formed cave.

“Tick-tick-”

“Tick-tick-”

Drops of water splashed onto his forehead, and the captain of the guards, who had been unconscious for three days and three nights, shuddered and suddenly woke up.

Then, a feeling of pain and emptiness came over my heart, and it became more and more intense.

"hiss--!"

“It really fucking hurts!”

Although the pain in his body became more and more intense, even like a drill to his heart, the captain of the guards could not help but grin upwards.

"No way, I survived!"

"Even though I lost an arm, hiss, did I also lose some of my scalp?"

"But I'm really lucky. I didn't die like this."

The severed arm did not bleed profusely, the exposed wound did not become infected, and he was completely unconscious and not in danger.

"That portrait of the Goddess in the army is a little too effective."

"But my thigh seems to be broken, and I'm feeling really hungry and thirsty. I need to think about how to get out of this situation."

"If I didn't die at the hands of the demons, dying here would be such a loss."

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Suddenly, a burst of dog barking came from outside the cave. The captain of the guards looked down and guessed that the dog had caught the smell of blood on his body.

Now, I can only pray that this is a domestic dog and not a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Fortunately, the [Goddess] once again responded to the captain of the guards' wish, and this time, it was a family dog!

And I have even seen its owner!

Chapter 96 is correct!

[Xinshiji - 21 BC]

[Central Kingdoms, Holy City of Heutraru]

"Teacher, it's time to get up and go."

"Today is the first day of the magician examination held by the [Continental Magic Association] in the Holy City."

"Many people are waiting for us to show up. If we don't show up, they will get anxious."

"Well--"

Inside the room, the elf rubbed his sleepy eyes, combed his messy hair behind his back, and yawned deeply.

In the past two days, she has been immersed in the development of the new magic system, so much so that she has neglected time.

I remembered that today was the first day of the assessment, so I didn’t stay up late last night.

After a quick wash and putting on her coat, Celie opened the door and was immediately grabbed by the arm by a disciple, quickly taken to the downstairs of the hotel, and boarded a carriage heading to the center of the Holy City.

On the way, Celie, who was leaning against the car window and yawning, accidentally caught a glimpse of the clock on the tower in the distance.

He curled his lips and said to Gu Te in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have plenty of time?"

Gut smiled helplessly. It seemed that the teacher was completely immersed in research these two days and didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside the window.

"Teacher, don't be fooled by the fact that the road conditions are good now. Once you walk a little further towards the Holy Church, you will understand."

"Is it."

Celie took one last look at the street scene outside the car window and murmured noncommittally.

Then he closed his eyes and leaned on the soft sofa in the car to continue sleeping.

Seeing this, Gut gently closed the magic book in his hand, held up his chin with one hand, and carefully admired the teacher's beautiful sleeping face.

However, perhaps the gaze from the disciple was a little too intense, causing Celie, who originally wanted to catch up on her sleep, to open her eyes, point at Gut a few times with her fingers, and warn him.

"Don't keep staring at me. I won't be able to sleep."

"If I really can't help it, I'll just glance at it occasionally."

"Okay teacher, I understand."

After being reminded by the teacher, Gut also restrained his gaze, opened the magic book and continued reading.

Only when turning the pages did I secretly glance at the teacher's graceful figure.

Feeling that her warning had worked, Celie turned sideways and changed her position to continue sleeping.

This time, falling asleep was much easier.

The carriage continued to move towards its destination along the road of the [Imperial Capital]. The luxurious carriage's excellent shock-absorbing structure, coupled with the well-maintained road surface of the [Imperial Capital], made the journey quite stable, so that Gut soon heard the teacher's rhythmic breathing.

However, this stability did not last long. With the ups and downs caused by the sudden stop, the entire car shook.

Gut lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked forward. Sure enough, the carriage lane ahead had been blocked by the guards of the Holy City, and only pedestrians were allowed to pass.

Therefore, the coachman had to stop here and ask the passengers to get off and walk to their destination.

This commotion naturally woke up Celie who was sleeping soundly.

Subconsciously releasing her magic power, after figuring out the surrounding situation, she had no choice but to get off the carriage and walk the last stretch of the journey with her disciples.

Passing through the bustling crowd on the road, Celie asked curiously after recalling her disciple's previous words.

"How did you know this area would be under control today? Did the people from the Holy City post a notice in advance?"

"Pretty much. They did post the notice yesterday, but I knew about it even earlier."

"Is that so?" Celie thought for a moment. "Let me guess, has anyone been here during this time?"

"That's right." Gu Te nodded, confirming the teacher's guess.

"That night, after you took me on a tour of the [Continental Magic Association], you asked me to temporarily manage it for you for two days and inspect the various facilities within the association."

"And the 'distinguished guest' will visit on the evening of the first day."

"The king's servant who took the brave Xin Meier away that day has come to visit with a generous gift. He apologizes for mistaking you for him earlier and would like to invite you to the Royal Capital to attend the King's coronation banquet the following evening."

"I accepted the gift and placed it in the association's warehouse. As for the invitation, I declined it on your behalf, citing time constraints."

"Yes." Celia nodded, having no objection to the disciple's treatment, but she interrupted the disciple's detailed explanation and said, "Let's get straight to the point."

"What else has happened that makes you certain that road restrictions will be implemented in this area today?"

"Okay." The teacher's interruption made Gut pause, and then he explained the key points according to Celia's instructions.

"Before leaving, the king's attendant also stated that the new king of the [Royal Capital] personally wrote a note for the [Continental Magic Association] you created, and asked the brave Xinmeier and Bishop Haita to deliver it to you on his behalf on the first day of the assessment."

"Whether it's [The King's Handwriting], [The Savior], or [The Bishop of the Holy City]."

"It's not surprising that these heats combined to create a lively scene that was enough to require road closures."

"Indeed." Celie answered in the affirmative, but her face showed no joy.

"Humans are really boring with all these forms and tricks."

"It would be better to do nothing and clear the road so I can sleep a little longer in the morning."

"Besides," Celie said helplessly, looking at the increasingly congested road ahead, "with so many people gathered, it will be difficult for candidates who want to take the exam to squeeze in."

"There's still a lot of time left, so take your time, teacher."

"Ah."

As the master and disciple got closer and closer to the location of the [Continental Magic Association], the road ahead was completely blocked by the gathered crowd, so that the master and disciple had no choice but to reveal their identities. They relied on the Holy City guards to clear the way and the command of Xinmeier and Haita on the stage to barely squeeze through the crowd.
