219 General Gavin Is Acting Tough

In the middle of the evening, Ramiel returned with General Gavin and General Robert. They weren’t able to kill any of the remaining four experts and those guys retreated after knowing that they wouldn’t be able to kill them.

Ramiel was unhurt because he was protected by a Unique-Rated armor and he even has a Unique-Rated shield that almost made him unkillable.

On the other hand, both General Gavin and General Robert were covered in injuries. Although they only had superficial wounds, they still hurt a lot.

“Commander Ramiel, General Gavin, General Robert! It’s good to see you guys back! We were worried about you!”

“You guys should head to the medical staff and have them tend to your wounds!”

The others were guilty when they saw the wounds on General Gavin and General Robert. They could already imagine how fearsome the battle was when they saw the degree of their injuries.

“We heard from the scouts that Commander Ramiel eliminated one of their Level 4 Espers!”

“Our commander is mighty!”

Their faces were filled with admiration as they said this.

.....

Ramiel remained calm under their praises. He was neither sad nor happy about today’s battle. In fact, he was not satisfied with his performance. He could have killed Vhincent, but the other party managed to escape from him. It was so infuriating the more he thought about it.

Seeing that Ramiel was silent, the others didn’t dare speak. They could sense that he was not in the mood to speak with them.

A moment later, Ramiel turned his head to the two injured generals who had fought with him. “You two did great today. You should go to our medical staff and have them look at your injuries. You need to recuperate since I still need you two in the next few days.” He muttered to them.

When they heard Ramiel’s words, they felt a bit embarrassed. They were on the defensive earlier and they couldn’t even inflict serious damage on their opponents. It was a far cry compared to Ramiel who killed one Level 4 Esper. However, they were happy that they were of help to him.

“I can still fight, Commander! These injuries are nothing!” General Gavin said confidently.

Ramiel patted his shoulders and the guy immediately winced in pain.

The others chuckled when they saw him acting tough, but they also admired his bravery. General Gavin was only an early stage Level 4 Esper, but he definitely had the guts of steel! They felt ashamed of themselves as they thought about this.

“General Robert, please take him to the medical room.” Ramiel shook his head with a smile.

General Robert nodded his head. “Yes, Commander.” His admiration towards Ramiel increased significantly after today’s battle. He never thought that their Commander was actually so strong despite his level being lower than most of the Level 4 Espers present.

The old general supported General Gavin as they left.

While looking at the two, Ramiel suddenly said. “Those two fought hard today, but they wouldn’t be able to fight in their best state with their current condition. Tomorrow, there will be another violent battle against the Ford Empire’s experts, I need you guys to help me.”

“Commander Ramiel, this old man is done resting. I will go with you to the battlefield tomorrow!” Aurus said.

Harold Reynolds also stepped forward and said. “I will go with you as well, Commander! There is no use for me to say here. I will only feel restless if I stay in the camp.”

“Me too! I won’t stay in the camp this time! I want to fight!”

“I will go too!”

This time, all the commanders present offered their assistance.

Ramiel smiled when he saw this. He then shifted his gaze to a stern-looking old man who had remained silent all this time. “What about you, Sir Einar? Do you want to join us?” He asked respectfully.

This old man was a new member of the Lassiter Household, but Aethelwolf valued him because of his work ethic. However, the reason why he respected this old man was because of his strength! Now that he possesses the items given by Aethelwolf, it could be said that he was the strongest man in their camp with the exception of Aethelwolf and Aenwyn whose whereabouts were unknown.

Einar looked at Ramiel and nodded his head. “Just leave someone to protect the young miss.” He replied.

“No problem! I’ll send a team of guards to protect the young miss.” Ramiel agreed without hesitation.

The other commanders were a bit surprised by how their commander valued this old man. They knew that he came with Aethelwolf and he was someone from the Lassiter Household. They also witnessed some of the old man’s abilities when he led their cavalry unit, but they didn’t see him use his full strength so they had no idea how strong he really was.

Ramiel scanned the people inside the tent and said. “Tomorrow, we will execute the next part of the plan. This is crucial since we have to make the Ford Empire and the Dustin Empire believe that we are waiting for reinforcements so we need to collaborate well with the chief’s army. Everything must be done carefully to prevent our enemies from becoming suspicious.”

The commanders were already informed about the plan so they nodded their heads seriously.

“Yes, Commander!”

Ramiel took out his Communication Rune and called Duke Baron.

The Communication Rune lit up and the Duke’s voice soon drifted into their ears. “Commander Ramiel, how’s everything on your side?”

“We managed to tide through without any major problems. Chief, we will execute the next part of our plan tomorrow.” Ramiel replied solemnly.

“Oh? Is it finally our turn to fight? We are ready! Just call me if there’s anything urgent.” Duke Baron’s voice contained a hint of excitement.

“Yeah. Good luck to all of us!” Ramiel said before he dropped the call.

“The rest of you, return to your tents and take a rest! There will be a tough battle tomorrow!”

“Yes, Commander!”
