The Magician of Sound

The surrounding soldiers began their relentless attack from the front, left, right, or even behind. They were trying to shake the magical beasts by hitting them from all areas.

The mermaid was gritting her teeth. Kai\'s true plan was to kill her with this formation.

"Princess!" The turtle shouted, demanding the answer.

"We…" Ilareca couldn\'t decide. On one hand, it was too embarrassing to lose to Kai. Even though they were on land, she still brought three other protectors and fifty thousand beasts to help the twenty thousand coming from that professor and the hundred thousand coming from the S rank spider. If this wasn\'t a shame, then what is?

On the other hand, if she couldn\'t admit this defeat, she might lose her life in this battle. She might still be able to kill a few thousand, but she would be exhausted to continue. Even the turtle might not be able to bring her away from here if she was stubborn.

Unsi and Marlin finally returned to that place and roared. "Princess. This is our fault! Please escape. We shall hold the rear."

"You two…" Ilareca was still hesitating. The fact that they wanted to die here just to hold the enemies back made her really want to stay.

"That is enough." The turtle couldn\'t wait anymore and appeared right behind her, grabbing her waist.

"Elder, please tell them that even in our death, we showed the pride of the protector."

"And please escort the princess back."

The turtle nodded solemnly before glancing on his right and left, finding Ria and Kai going toward them.

However, Unsi and Marlin stopped them.

"You won\'t be getting them."

"You need to kill us first."

"With my name, I shall protect your honor." The turtle said his last piece to the two before leaping out of the battlefield.

"Wha-! Wait please."

"It\'s better to stop, Princess. You already know yourself what will happen if you stay. That\'s why you shall engrave this in your brain because your future task should be obvious. I am sure you don\'t need me to go over it in detail.

"There is no doubt that from now on, you will become the one that leads the magical beasts on every occasion to redeem this. I expect that you will take this knowledge to heart and continue to grow even further…

"If he can go to our side, that will be the best, but if he doesn\'t join our side, then we need to kill him first. After all, that prodigy who has appeared this time is an enemy of an unprecedented level. We have well and truly been beaten by them this time.

"What a pain… No matter which era we observe, the people who are considered to be the strongest will always be defeated by the appearance of even more powerful individuals. And we are simply the one that gets beaten this time. It seems that for a while yet, this battle will revolve around that man as the center.

"This is why you shall not give up here and see what you can do to win, even if it means doing something you don\'t want. Anyway, what you do will depend on you. This old man is here only to support you." The turtle then glanced at Kai with a serious expression. "Do consider my invitation, young man. We shall meet again in this field filled with red blood. At that time, I shall color the field with even a redder color!"

Kai obviously could listen to his lecture. Invisible pressure struck his heart as he knew the elder would make the princess evolve even further. At that time, he might not be able to do anything like this again.

"Should we pursue them?" Ria came to him along with Nathan, Paolo, and Jose.

"Do you think you can pursue them? Over our dead bodies!" Marlin and Unsi shouted, glaring at them.

"They said…" Kai shrugged while glancing at the four. "It\'s better to get the one in front of us than bite more than we can chew."

"Fair enough." Ria agreed and commanded. "Me, Nathan, Jose, and all deputies under us will bring that sharp fish down. The rest will fight that Sea Urchin. As much as I want all of you to restrain them and bring them alive, I think it\'s best to kill them here.

"The protectors might come to us with this reason and protect them. At that time, the base will be in chaos. I will take responsibility for this decision."

"Understood."

The group finally marched according to the instruction, trying to bring the two protectors down. The magical beasts had no chance against their soldiers, especially now that the battle had shifted in their favor.

The soldiers kept killing the magical beasts one by one. Although they got casualties on their side as well, mostly due to the magical beasts knowing no fear, it could be ignored.

All powerful fighters were gathering around the two protectors. They had gotten many injuries before because they recklessly broke away from the trap as they rushed toward this place, so the fight concluded before long.

Kai had the honor to deal the last blow to Unsi while Ria killed the other one. The soldiers were so hyped, shouting their commanders\' names. But the moment they announced that everything was Kai\'s plan, they started shouting his name.

However, it became like this purely due to the hype. If one actually looked from afar, they wouldn\'t believe that a student could do something like this, especially with four generals and Ria Ross.

In fact, there were people unhappy with how they glorified Kai Carter. They believed that the US Base was covering him because they were afraid of Ria. Just like the brighter the light, the darker the shadow, many people were happy with him, but even more people were unhappy.

They thought Kai was just Ria\'s puppet or the base\'s dog. Only those in higher ranks could understand Kai\'s uniqueness.

It was also the reason why Kai didn\'t care about his reputation in the eyes of the masses. They couldn\'t do anything to him anyway since those who were cunning and scheming would be from the higher up.

After killing the rest of the magical beasts, the group started marching toward the South Battlefield, sweeping the magical beasts in the south completely before making their way toward Ethan.

Unfortunately, Ethan\'s situation wasn\'t really that good. He somehow managed to buy time, but the enemies still had almost one hundred thousand while he still had ten thousand.

Their current casualties had reached ten thousand, but the group still fought admirably. Kai and all generals fought together side by side, eliminating the magical beast one by one.

Because of their number, the battle lasted for a few hours and finally took down all magical beasts. In total, they had killed around one hundred fifty thousand magical beasts. If they fought without any plan, the casualties might reach thirty thousand on their side.

However, Kai\'s plan was to divide their number again and again. Just like how the princess\'s fifty thousand magical beasts got separated into three.

Ardus joined with Erica to destroy Unsi\'s ten thousand beasts with their seven thousand. The same applied to Jose and Nadia, who destroyed Marlin\'s twenty thousand with their ten thousand. After that, they finally fought the rest of the twenty thousand with a total of fifteen thousand soldiers.

Looking at that plan, one could realize how monstrous Kai was, and all commanders knew that.

Even then, Kai was the one that strategized the battle with those one hundred thousand magical beasts. He used his hearing to look at the condition of the battlefield, allowing him to send reinforcement to all areas that couldn\'t hold those beasts.

Although he didn\'t appear to be something special, if they were the commanders of many, they would understand that Kai\'s timely reinforcement was the one that kept their casualties low.

When the battle finally finished, they returned to the city to grab the spider\'s body along with the two protectors\' bodies that had been brought to the city.

The signal had been turned on, and the commanders asked the base to send people to pick them up.

At that time, Kai had another meeting with the generals.

"Yo, Our Hero has come!" Nathan raised his hands, greeting Kai as if he was on steroids.

"No one can stop me from saying you are the MVP of this battle." Jose nodded.

"Well, it\'s true. If only I have a daughter… I will pair you up." Paolo nodded before glancing at Erica. "Should we make one?"

"You shouldn\'t think like that!" Erica chopped his head. "I want to have one, but that\'s not my intention alright."

"Hehe…"

"I have one, though she already has a fiancé." Ethan shrugged. "Anyway, your plan was superb, and your timely reinforcement was beyond what I could achieve. In fact, I want my daughter to study under you."

"Please no. I have my hands full already… Although we have been cooperating with Eagle Group. I don\'t think it will work like Isabelle and Evan." Kai shook his head.

"True enough. I know how bossy this little granddaughter of mine. Well, I heard you don\'t want trouble, so I will tell her not to bother Lion and Eagle Groups." Ethan laughed. "Just tell me if she is too much. I will spank her."

"Haha… You should!" Nathan nodded repeatedly.

"In any case, I want to say that you have outdone yourself. When I think you need a year to reach the general level, I think it won\'t be needed anymore. In fact, you might be able to reach this level with this battle alone." Ria made a genuine smile. "I am proud of you."

"I…"
