He raised one hand.The marching army immediately halted.Even the horses became quiet under the control of their experienced riders.
The discipline displayed by the Arcadian army was remarkable.
Ethan carefully observed everything before slowly shifting his gaze toward the distant exit of the gorge.
Only darkness waited there.
Yet somehow...
He felt as though countless unseen eyes were already staring back at them from beyond the shadows.
His instincts quietly warned him again.
Without saying anything, he slowly placed one hand upon the hilt of his greatsword.
The familiar touch steadied his thoughts.
Beside him, Duke Osantra noticed the small movement and spoke in a low voice.
"Nervous?"
Ethan let out a quiet breath.
"A little."
Then he looked straight ahead.
"But not enough to retreat."
The Duke gave a faint nod.
"Good."
"Because once we step out..."
"There will be no turning back."
For a brief moment, complete silence fell across the entire gorge.
Then...
From somewhere far ahead...
A single war horn suddenly echoed through the night.
Its deep sound rolled across the mountains and bounced between the cliffs.
Every soldier instinctively tightened their grip on their weapon.
Every knight straightened their posture.
Even Ethan narrowed his eyes.
The horn...
It did not come from their side.
It came from the enemy.
A loud roar immediately shook the gorge.
"Damn!"
"The enemy has been alerted!"
"Move!"
Another furious voice exploded from farther behind.
"Fuck the traitor!"
The moment those words rang out, Ethan, Duke Osantra, and the Saint-level figures shot into the sky almost simultaneously while brilliant streaks of light tore through the darkness behind them.
Their speed was so great that they crossed several kilometers within only a few moments and appeared directly above the enemy encampment waiting outside the gorge.
Ethan arrived last.
The instant he reached the battlefield, his eyes swept across the camp below.
It was enormous.
Thousands upon thousands of tents stretched across the open plains while massive wooden barricades surrounded the perimeter.
Tall watchtowers stood at regular intervals with blazing torches burning atop them. Siege weapons had already been prepared and rows of supply wagons lined the rear of the camp while soldiers continuously moved between formations.
Fires burned everywhere and countless banners fluttered beneath the night sky, making it look less like a temporary military camp and more like a fortified city built overnight.
Before Ethan could even finish taking in the sight...
The Saints on Arcadia's side moved first.
Without the slightest hesitation, terrifying attacks descended from the heavens.
Gigantic sword waves cut through the air.
Blinding beams of mana crashed downward.
The entire sky trembled.
However, just before those attacks could strike the camp below, powerful figures shot upward from within the enemy forces.
BOOOOOOM!
The two sides collided in midair.
The impact shook the heavens.
Violent shockwaves spread across the battlefield and swept through the camp beneath them, tearing apart tents, overturning wagons, and sending countless soldiers stumbling across the ground.
The night sky lit up like daylight.
Soon afterward...
Six more figures shot into the air from the enemy side.Each one radiated an overwhelming aura.
It was six Saints.
From their clothing and armor, Ethan could immediately tell that three belonged to Xylos while the remaining three came from the allied empires.
The moment they appeared, all six immediately fixed their eyes upon the Transcendent Knight standing behind the Aracadian Army.
One of them stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"How dare you make a move?"
"Did you forget the treaty?"
The Transcendent Knight merely scoffed.
"What treaty?"
His voice remained calm and indifferent.
"I am abiding by the rules."
"I am only here to oversee the battle."
The opposing Saint narrowed his eyes before replying coldly.
"Then make sure you continue doing only that."
"We have an artifact capable of notifying our side."
"If you interfere directly..."
"The Ascension Realm expert behind us will make a move."
The moment those words spread across the battlefield, many expressions turned as pale as paper.
Everyone understood what those words meant.
If an Ascension Realm expert truly entered the battle.Then everything would be over.
The difference between the Ascension Realm and the Transcendent Realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The Transcendent Knight remained silent for several moments while carefully looking around.
Finally, he spoke.
"I will not fight."
"But I will act to protect my side if necessary."
The Saint Knights from Xylos ignored his answer.
Instead, they slowly turned their gazes toward the group standing before them.
Ferocious killing intent gradually spread from their bodies while the night itself seemed to grow colder.
For a brief moment, both sides simply remained suspended high above the battlefield while terrifying auras collided with one another and invisible pressure spread across the night sky, causing the soldiers below to struggle for breath.
Then suddenly...
One of the enemy Saints abruptly raised his hand and pointed directly toward Ethan.
His eyes were filled with anger.
"He is the one!"
The sudden shout echoed across the battlefield and immediately drew everyone's attention.
Another Saint stepped forward and glared at Ethan with undisguised hostility.
"That's the bastard who foiled our plans!"
The words spread across the sky.
Every pair of eyes instantly shifted toward Ethan.
Saints.
Divine Knights.
Transcendent experts.
Even the soldiers below instinctively looked upward.
Ethan himself was completely taken aback.
His brows twitched slightly.
'The fuck!'
'How did I get dragged into this out of nowhere?'
Before he could even process what was happening, another loud voice suddenly rang out from the opposing side.
"The hell!"
"He isn't even one hundred years old!"
"What kind of strength is this?!"
The speaker stared at Ethan from head to toe with complete disbelief.
"Was he born with a high realm or what?!"
Another Saint immediately joined the conversation while continuing to observe Ethan carefully.
"And what the hell is that look?"
"Did you practice some kind of beauty art or something?"
"I have traveled the world for hundreds of years and I have never seen anyone who looks like him."
A third expert nodded without hesitation.
"Me too."
"He doesn't even look like someone who belongs on a battlefield."
The conversation quickly became stranger.
Then one of them suddenly turned toward Acker.
"Acker."
"Did that bastard really pummel you?"
The question instantly made Acker's face darken.
He immediately shouted back.
"The fuck do you mean by pummel?!"
"He only managed to halt me for a bit."
