"But if the situation becomes irretrievable..."
"Ah, I know what to do." Determination flashed in the Sergeant's eyes.
Lord Count took a deep breath, nodding.
"Then, I'll leave it up to you."
"Yes! I will not let you down!" The Sergeant stood erect and saluted.
Lord Count looked at the elite squad already prepared below; though not completely confident, his expression relaxed slightly.
Despite the squad having fewer than a hundred people, which seemed insignificant compared to a vast army, each of these seventy-seven members was a Profession above the Second Transformation, including some who had achieved Third Ascension, Legendary status.
Each person had experienced the refinement of blood and fire, having countless skirmishes with Magic Creatures and even humankind, truly elites forged from the battlefield.
The Sergeant was indeed a battle-hardened warrior, able to take on thousands single-handedly.
