Chapter 205
The strongest knights under Carmichael’s command had been positioned on the far left and far right of the formation.As they stared at the approaching Abyssals, every one of them understood that things were unfolding exactly as predicted. During the briefing, Carmichael had explained that the enemy would instinctively spread out to match their numbers and respond to the human formation.That prediction had been correct.Which meant there was no room for failure.The knights tightened their grips on their weapons. Excitement and determination burned in their eyes as one of the officers raised his sword and shouted,“Kill them!”“Uoohh!”A deafening roar answered him.The knights surged forward.The Abyssals had correctly identified the center force as the primary threat. Carmichael was there, after all. Any intelligent enemy would focus on the commander and the largest concentration of troops.What they failed to realize was that the center force contained the least experienced fighter

Out of the two thousand knights still capable of fighting, Carmichael left one thousand behind to defend the camp. Only two officers remained with them, but that was more than enough under the current circumstances.The other thousand marched out with him.The army advanced through the wilderness in disciplined formation, steadily closing the distance to their enemy. Ahead of them, scouts moved through the forest in every direction, searching for any sign of Abyssal activity and reporting back as quickly as possible.One scout soon returned.“Sir. The enemies are currently gathering around the Elite class Abyssals. I don’t see any Abyssals around, so all those Abyssals might have been recalled by the Elite class Abyssals.“We also have located the Elite class Abyssals. If we continue in this direction, we will find its trail in another ten minutes. We will have to follow the trail a bit.”“That’s good.” Carmichael nodded. “The Elite class abyssal has done us a favor by bulldozing all

The camp was alive with activity from the moment the sun rose.News had already spread through every corner of the base. The Sword Saint himself would be leading tomorrow’s operation.For the soldiers, that single fact was enough to lift everyone’s spirits.Nobody expected Carmichael to personally solve every problem on the battlefield. The veterans knew better than anyone that he rarely intervened unless the situation truly demanded it. That had always been his way of leading. Even so, knowing he would be present was enough to fill them with confidence.Victory suddenly felt within reach.Everywhere Rhys looked, soldiers were preparing for battle.Some were sharpening weapons while others checked armor straps and repaired damaged equipment. Groups of knights gathered in open areas to spar with one another, using the opportunity to warm up their bodies before tomorrow’s fight.Laughter echoed through the camp.Songs rose from different corners.Men who had spent years fighting side by

The next morning, the entire camp was in motion.Soldiers poured into the central assembly ground, forming rows that stretched across the open space. Many were still recovering from the previous battles, and a number of injured knights remained confined to their beds. Even so, nearly two thousand soldiers had gathered.The sheer number made the operation difficult.But Carmichael had already made up his mind.The hidden Abyssals would be rooted out today.Standing on the raised platform at the front, the Sword Saint surveyed the crowd in silence. His gaze swept across the gathered soldiers before finally settling on the officers behind him.“I’m proud of all of you.”His voice carried easily across the camp.“You’ve followed me into battle and fought against the Abyssals for a long time. Because of that, I’m entrusting you with an important task today.”The soldiers exchanged confused looks.An important task?Carmichael turned and gave a slight nod.The officers immediately moved.Th

“Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?!” Yin Zhen shouted, glaring at Rhys with undisguised anger.“That’s enough!” Meave snapped as she stepped between them.The atmosphere inside the tent turned tense in an instant.Rhys remained seated on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Yin Zhen. His expression was serious, but there wasn’t a trace of anger on his face.Just a few minutes ago, the mood had been completely different.Everything had changed so quickly.Earlier…Meave had been resting her head against his shoulder in silence.She hadn’t spoken much, but Rhys understood exactly what she was trying to say.The weight she had been carrying for years hadn’t disappeared, but it had become a little lighter.Rhys looked at her and smiled.“You are strong and talented. I know that fact, so you don’t have to worry. There will come a day where you’ll be able to save your father… No, we’ll save your father. And I know that day will come soon.”“En.”Meave nodded softly.Then she glanced a

Rhys returned to the tent carrying a cup of hot water.The military camp had provided them with temporary accommodations, and Carmichael had personally arranged for them to stay there while everything was being prepared. The tent itself was simple. There were only two beds, a small table, and a lantern hanging from one of the poles.Meave sat on one of the beds without moving.Her knees were drawn up to her chest, and her face was buried against them. She hadn’t said much since they left Carmichael’s tent.Rhys stopped beside her and held out the cup.“Drink first.”Meave shook her head.She didn’t even look up.Rhys let out a quiet sigh.He understood.After all, he couldn’t stop thinking about that conversation either.The moment Carmichael had mentioned her father, it felt as though the entire atmosphere had changed.“What? Asura Face?”Meave’s body had visibly trembled.“Yeah.” Carmichael nodded. “Aside from me, there are probably only a few who know about it. Nevertheless, I don’
