"Boss, there seem to be even more. I saw a few more... Hmm? The first batch has already arrived at the manor!"

"Oh no, I think they've raised their hands, and some kind of power is gathering!"

"Damn it! They really are hostile units!"

Jia Zhengyi raised his voice, sensing something was wrong.

He had barely finished speaking when a deafening explosion suddenly rang out from the night!

"Boom! Boom!!"

Several explosions rang out, and blood-red flames shot into the sky in the night, clearly visible to the patrol team, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day!

The veterans on patrol immediately paled, and one of them cried out in alarm, "Magic! It's the power of magic!"

"There's a mage there! This is orc shamanic magic!"

They were almost speechless with shock. A powerful magical aura swept around them, and even though they were far away, they could feel the suffocatingly strong magical fluctuations.

There are orc magical units here!

The enemy has infiltrated the front lines!

In that instant, the veterans realized the gravity of the situation and were horrified. One of the more experienced veterans reacted instantly: "We can't get any closer! Go back immediately and tell the city lord!"

"It's too late! If we wait for our magic to arrive, everyone in the manor will be dead!"

"Are you going to your death, Mr. Bard? Look closely, that's magic! We can't fight it!"

"But..."

The guards were terrified, but they quickly reached a consensus and turned to run back into the city.

The issue is no longer about the lives of the people in the manor. If we don't get timely intelligence from the enemy, the entire city of Balota will be in danger!

"Wait! Where's Su? Where is Su?!"

Suddenly, the guards noticed that one person was missing from the squad and realized that Su Lin was not among them.

"He's there!"

A guard turned around and saw Su Lin speeding up towards the manor.

"Su! Su! Come back quickly!!"

The veteran was shouting urgently, but Su Lin seemed oblivious, running forward even faster, carrying the magical fluctuations deeper into the core of the explosion!

"What is he going to do? He's going to his death!"

"We can't ignore him anymore, let's go back! We need to bring this message back!"

"But he's a friend of the elves! The adults said we must protect him!"

"No buts! Do you want to die too?!"

The guards gritted their teeth and turned around one after another, but some of them kept looking back as they ran, seeing the young figure gradually swallowed up by the darkness of the night.

In a daze, a faint sense of shame welled up in the veterans' hearts.

It seems that this young man truly possesses the loyalty and awareness to dedicate himself and sacrifice for the empire, just as he claims.
