��Duke-nim, nobody died.�

None of the Empire�s forces had died. There were some who were injured, but nobody was dead.

However, Duke Huten could not laugh about this situation.

�What, what is that?!�

Duke Huten could not hide his shock as he looked forward.

A wall was created with the blood-like pillar of fire at the center.

A furiously burning wall of fire appeared in front of the Empire�s eyes.

This fire with electric currents that was made from magic was burning up in the form of a wall.

�Duke-nim! All directions are blocked!�

Huten heard the knight�s shout.

He could see it as well.

A wall of fire was surrounding Maple Castle. It looked as if nobody could enter.

The Whipper Kingdom had repeated the same thing that the Empire had done in the past when they had left a wall of fire before retreating.

However, one thing had changed.

��They didn�t block all of it.�

They left an opening.

The Empire had left the everlasting flame made from alchemy on all sides of the castle in order to prevent the Whipper Kingdom from approaching Maple Castle.

However, the Whipper Kingdom had left an entrance.

It was the spot that the blood-like pillar of fire and the rose gold thunderbolt had landed. There were no fires in those two locations. Only dust was flowing around in that area.

He could also see the gate into Maple Castle beyond that area as well.

The Empire could try to take Maple Castle without touching the wall of fire if they went past that area.

�Ha, haha-�

Duke Huten let out a laugh.
