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
