But in reality, it was not so.

Under the skilled coordination of Quasi-General Gregory and Meredith, both of Extraordinary Level, with the lightning-fast thrusting sword that left trails of afterimages, and the swift positioning of the Royal Guard after each was repelled, every time this Half-Orc Black Fist Commander found a gap to break through, he was mercilessly blocked back.

After repeatedly failing to break through, the continuous fireballs, whether hitting the armor or the giant axe, gradually caused considerable damage to this Extraordinary Level Black Fist Commander Gelkuk.

His dense fur was extensively singed and blackened, and the once shiny black armor showed signs of damage.

Moreover, Gregory’s sword light, darting through the air like a silver shuttle, left bloodstained marks on his body.

As streaks of bright red blood seeped out, it seemed that this Black Fist Commander Gelkuk was truly running out of tricks.

If nothing unexpected happened, the scales of victory would undoubtedly tip quickly towards the Kingdom Squad.

However, Raine couldn’t shake the feeling that this battle seemed too easy.

Moreover, a vague sense of unease, from an unknown source, began to linger in his mind.

This was why he only nodded to Henry’s optimism and didn’t verbally agree.

"Roar!"

At this moment, possibly due to the silence spell wearing off or the battle becoming too intense, a roar capable of shattering all the glass erupted from the third floor.

Whether on the first floor, second floor, or even the elite Black Fist Army battling in the annex, upon hearing their Commander’s roar, all turned their attention to the third floor of the main building.

The next moment!

Dozens of elite Black Fist Army, weapons in hand, charged towards the third floor of the main building.

This greatly increased the pressure on the eight Royal Guards blocking the third-floor stairway entrance!

Yet Henry remained unflustered, having already prepared a mobile force, he waved to those behind him:

"You six, go support them!"

Since the Royal Guards were Level 7 and 8 Classes Special Classes Shield Masters, as long as there weren’t particularly strong opponents, breaking through a battle formation of over twelve Royal Guards wasn’t feasible in a short time.

"Yes, Lord Henry!"

As the six Royal Guards departed, only Raine and Henry were left on the griffin hovering over the central garden.

Henry, still smiling, gestured to Raine beside him:

"Almost there, the battle in the main building should conclude swiftly!"

However, just as he finished speaking, before Raine could respond, Henry’s communication crystal started vibrating intensely, followed by Colonel Tessa’s somewhat urgent voice:

"There’s a disturbance on the right!"

"Observer Boke has broken through our encirclement, heading for the main building!"

"Repeating, Observer Boke has broken through the encirclement, heading for the main building!"

"We’re being held up by dozens of the Black Fist Army, requesting personnel to intercept Observer Boke."

This rapid turn of events made Henry’s expression turn somewhat grim.

With Colonel Tessa’s urgent report, both Raine and Henry immediately shifted their gaze from the main building to the long corridor connecting the main and annex buildings on the right.

Sure enough!

From the end near the annex, the windows along the corridor flickered with shadows as light passed rapidly.

Looking closely, it was clear that someone was sprinting through the corridor at high speed, causing brief sunlit obstructions.

"Raine, it seems we might really need you..."

Before he could finish, the communication crystal in Henry’s hand vibrated again.

"There’s a disturbance on the left!"

"A powerful Adventurer Squad, seemingly a Bronze Level Adventurer Squad from Winterless City, is engaging Fear Mage Haydos, requesting support!"

Despite the metallic clashes in the background, Baron Olsen’s voice remained steady, not sounding overly urgent.

But both Raine and Henry understood, if the Baron only had six Royal Guards with him, and the opposition was a Bronze Level Adventurer Squad plus a Fear Mage...

"Damn! How could there be a Bronze Level Adventurer Squad here?" Henry’s expression darkened as he immediately picked up the communication crystal and said, "Keller! Command the Crit Squad to quickly eliminate the Black Fist Commander!"

Faced with this situation, Henry decided not to let Raine pursue Observer Boke.

Because even if they intercepted one of the vice-officers Boke, if Fear Mage Haydos reached the main building, the interception would be pointless.

Instead, by keeping Raine here, at least he still had an ace up his sleeve!

Raine remained unperturbed, calmly observing the battle in the main building’s third-floor room.

To him, no matter how the fighting played out on both annexes, and regardless of whether they could stop support from the enemy’s two vice-officers, as long as the battle in the main building could be decisively concluded, the situation couldn’t spiral out of control.

If it were up to him, rather than aiding either side, he would prefer to join the direct battlefield!

Huh?

Suddenly, Raine’s eyes narrowed!

"What!"

Henry’s expression changed drastically, his eyes widened in astonishment!

Inside the third floor of the main building.

Faced with the Crit Squad of five fire mages, positioned in a pentagram ready to unleash their power.

Suddenly!

Black Fist Commander Gelkuk emitted a faint bloody red glow, while his body expanded significantly, growing from the original two meters two, three, to over two meters five in an instant.
