After days of grueling battles, the moment the troops laid eyes on Xayne, their spirits surged back to life.Countless eyes were fixed on him as if they were waiting for his command to reclaim their honor."I know you’re all exhausted," he began, his voice steady and fierce. "But tonight, we’re taking back Jina Pass. We’re going to avenge our fallen comrades and the innocent lives trampled by the coalition forces.""Revenge!"In an instant, the fire in their eyes ignited."Target Jina Pass, let’s move." Xayne signaled, leading Red Rose and three thousand elite soldiers into the shadows of the night.After nearly an hour of swift marching, Jina Pass was within reach."Stop." Xayne raised his arm, fist clenched.The three thousand soldiers dropped to the hillside, gazing at the distant stronghold."I’ll go in first and take out their commander. When you see fire on the ramparts, charge in through the south gate. Remember, any invader, regardless of whether they surrender, is to

He was convinced that Xayne couldn't possibly dodge bullets. Only a Divine Commander could do that.From what he could see, he was just a Celestial Dracarium Commander at best, if not weaker.His confidence was faltering, and he dared to talk big despite being in such a precarious position."Is that so? Let me show you what my blade can do." With a steady hand, Xayne drew his Ravenclaw Dagger."Xayne, do you remember what you did to my eye?" Danier roared, gripping his massive ax tightly. His right eye blazed with rage, fixated on Xayne. "Today, I'll take your head along with your life."As soon as he finished speaking, Xayne moved like a whirlwind, leaving only an afterimage behind.In the night, he charged forward alone, his dagger slicing through the air with an unstoppable force.It felt as if all the air around him was being drawn in, creating a vacuum that silenced the chaos around him."Die!" Danier swung his ax, unleashing a roar like a bear. The weight of the three-hun

A silver flash streaked across the night sky.With a swift motion, Xayne extended his arm, curling his fingers just so. A round object rose from the pit below, soaring into his palm. It was Danier's severed head.Even in death, Danier's remaining right eye was wide open, a final testament to his shock, and not a drop of blood had yet spilled.The last vestiges of courage shattered among the invading soldiers. Both Celestial Dracarium Commanders had fallen.They didn't know what else to do. They had already tried everything."Run!"A voice cried out, and panic spread like wildfire. Soldiers dropped their weapons and scattered in every direction, desperate to escape, not even wanting to carry a single bullet that could weigh them down.Xayne tossed a burning flare, igniting a blaze atop the city wall."It's the Supreme Commander's signal. Follow me." Red Rose was the first to break through the trees, racing downhill toward the fort."Charge!""Kill them!"The pent-up fury of t

"Those animals!" Hammond ground his teeth, forcing the words through clenched jaws. His eyes glinted coldly as he glanced at the intelligence officer. "Leave. This massacre at Jina Pass is to remain classified. Anyone who dares leak the details will face military justice.""Yes, sir!" The officer quickly turned and left the hall.In Drakonia, the people of the north and south were often intertwined by family ties. Even within a single household, relatives could be separated by thousands of miles. Though Jina Pass was home to only a few tens of thousands, there was no way to ensure that none of them had relatives in Drakonix.Even though Xayne had turned the tide, the armies of Barnie Pass still loomed, and Drakonix remained under the constant threat of invasion by the five allied nations. Thus, maintaining stability among the people was paramount.After deep consideration, Hammond decided he had no choice but to report the matter to the Emperor in the Emperor's Pavilion. Like the m

No one knew that Xayne led the army, personally beheading two Celestial Dracarium Commanders and reclaiming Jina Pass.The night passed without incident.At dawn the next morning, 200,000 Dragonbreakers Legion soldiers stood ready to move out.After using Xayne's specially made medicine for sword wounds, the injuries of Ace and his men had greatly improved.Except for Trey, whose injuries were too severe to move, the others could at least walk, though with some effort."Ace, take care of yourselves and protect Trey. Your most important task now is to heal so you can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when the final battle comes!" Xayne spoke to Ace and the others before departing."Commander, we can still fight!""Yeah, these small wounds are nothing!""Let us take up arms and kill the enemy like everyone else!"Ace and the others pleaded to join the battle.The sight of innocent civilians slaughtered in Jina Pass filled them with rage.Xayne shook his head. "I've already tol
