The war was dragging on and they now had to guard this weird pillar of fire.

For this soldier who was a citizen of the Whipper Kingdom and hated magic, this pillar of fire reminded him of the magic used by the mages in the past.

�Bad! Our Commander-nim still brought all of the injured soldiers with him. He even gave a bit of those precious potions to the ones with serious injuries.�

The soldier relaxed a bit after hearing his friend speak.

Commander Toonka did not throw away the injured this time. It was different than how he had acted during the Civil War in the Whipper Kingdom.

However, his expression soon stiffened up again.

��But they are all dying.�

They didn�t have enough potions and there was a limit to what a doctor without healing abilities could do. It was painful listening to the moans of the soldiers who were dying without a chance to return home.

�Why are you saying such negative things? The Commander-nim and Chief-nims will find a way for us soon.�

The soldier put on a bitter smile after hearing his friend�s response. He had participated in the war due to his anger about magic, but he was starting to see the reality of the situation as time dragged on.

A doubtful voice came out of his mouth.

�Do you really thi- huh?�

However, he could not finish his sentence.

He saw a group wearing white heading toward the center of the formation.

There were a total of five people wearing white masks and priest outfits heading into the tent with the injured alongside Commander Toonka.

They were naturally Cale�s group.

Cale looked around as he headed toward the tent with the injured soldiers.

The atmosphere was very heavy.

� Human, do you see that pillar of fire? Are we getting rid of that? It will destroy the castle as well if you do it like last time.

This was the Maple Castle, one of the three main castles at the border of the Mogoru Empire and the Whipper Kingdom.

�Break it? Why would I break such a precious thing?�

Cale was planning on calmly taking care of business this time. He continued to look around until he made eye contact with one of the soldiers. It was the soldier guarding the medical tent.

Cale smiled gently at the soldier and started to ask.

�May we enter?� JrNovels.com
