Chapter: 1028
Toonka looked toward the healed soldier with an odd expression.
He had realized that the atmosphere among the soldiers was much brighter this morning. It was a different type of liveliness than when they would achieve a victory in a battle.
�Commander-nim, welcome.�
The familiar voice spoke to him as if they did not know each other. It was Cale.
Toonka looked at Cale, who was posing as a priest, and was starting to approach him, before looking around at the rest of Cale�s group in the tent. All of them had pulled all-nighters and were sweating hard as they continued to heal the patients.
Toonka made eye contact with Cale, who approached him and started to whisper.
�Tonight. I�m putting the fire out, so bring all of the files.�
Cale�s tone was cold but Toonka started to smile.
�Alright. I got it.�
After not sleeping a wink last night, Cale did not like Toonka�s smiling face. He quickly turned around and walked away.
Of course, Cale was fine even after not getting any sleep thanks to the, �Vitality of the Heart.�
�Thank you.�
Cale ignored Toonka�s voice behind him.

That night was the night of the new moon.
Cale stood on top of Maple Castle as he looked down.
�It is completely dark other than this pillar of fire and the lights in the base.�
The fire shone even brighter without the moon. Cale recalled what Harol had told him as he handed him the report.
�Is there really nobody inside of the castle?�
�It is. Don�t you know that I have three mages with me? Some of my trusted subordinates and I entered the castle with their magic to verify.�
Three mages, one each from Roan, Breck, and the Jungle, were currently disguised as Toonka and Harol�s servants for video communication and emergency situations.
Cale had looked toward Harol, who had no issue with using mages, with amazement. Harol, who felt Cale�s gaze, had responded back like this.
�Sometimes you have to sacrifice the small stuff for the greater good. In order to get rid of all magic in the future, I need to use my enemies to my advantage as well.�
Cale ignored the gaze of this opportunistic yet crazy bastard. He only focused on the information Harol handed him. JrNovels.com
